Chapter 211 Dead Island
Chapter 211 Dead Island
For a few days, Profic has been working hard to use the ability of the fruit of the soul to try to improve his physical fitness.
He first used the ability of the fruit of the soul to slightly enhance his own strength, and exercised at this strength. Wait until the body gradually adapts, then further increase the strength given, and repeat the process.
Of course, it's not like Profik has never thought about directly making himself stronger through the fruit's ability, or imagining a stronger version of himself. But every time he tried to do so, he was visibly hindered. Even if you strengthen your physical fitness in a short period of time, your original shape will be revealed after the effect of the fruit's ability ends.
It seems that the mind fruit cannot change itself for a long time. I don't know whether it is the limitation of the fruit's ability or the result of Profic's insufficient strength.
He could only feel that maybe some changes would happen after he awakened.
Fortunately, the idea of using fruit abilities to train oneself seems feasible. After these few days of trying, he obviously felt that his physical fitness had been strengthened. The upper limit of the temporary power granted by the fruit's ability has also been increased.
Profik believes that as long as he continues to exercise for a long time, he will soon be able to reach a higher level.
After a few days of this, Matifa announced excitedly: "A new island has been discovered ahead!"
"Finally we saw land again!" As soon as the Bifur docked, Li Tong rushed to the island first. Originally, Danjuma was always the first to land. Now, Li Tong has replaced Danjuma's position to a certain extent. After all, he was almost as young as Danjuma and had never been to sea before becoming Profik's companion.
For someone like him who has never been to sea, apart from the initial novelty, the past few days of sea voyages have made him suffer enough. Fortunately, Li Tong's health was not bad. After slowly adapting, he also gradually adapted to the boring and bumpy sea, but he did not get sick from it.
However, seeing solid ground again now, he still couldn't wait to experience the feeling of setting foot on land again.
"Perhaps, we can find a suitable doctor on this island." Matifa was also eager to give it a try.
Originally, Profik was the doctor on the ship. The effect of wish-fulfillment can also play a big role in medical treatment. What's more, Profik's companions are not weak in physical fitness and will basically not get sick. Morana and Gao Shifu are also users with animal fruit abilities, and their recovery ability is super strong. Even if they are injured, they will quickly recover as before.
No, Morana's ribs, which were broken by Ye Ti just a few days ago, have already healed.
But in the new world, things are different. The battles are more intense, injuries are more frequent, and you may even encounter opponents like Quinn who are well versed in diseases. Profic doesn't think his current ability can handle a guy like Quinn, which requires a more professional doctor.
Danjuma said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the villages on the island and look for it!"
Profik was much more cautious. He first carefully observed the situation on the island.
This island has a port, and the Bifur is anchored at the port. The port is not big and looks a bit shabby. No other ships were anchored except the Beaver.
But what puzzled Profik was that there were no flags flying at the island's port.
Profik originally thought that the island would be hoisted with a pirate flag or a navy flag, or even worse, the flag of a certain country.
This is because wars are frequent in the New World, and most islands are owned by forces. In terms of quantity, there are more islands belonging to pirates and affiliated countries or navies of the World Government, but there are also many "independent" non-franchised islands such as Zuowu and Elbaf.
No matter what the situation is, the flag of the corresponding force will be planted on the island's port.
This is a deterrent to external forces - this island is protected, so don't act rashly.
If an island does not have a flag, it is more likely to be harassed by pirates, the underworld, and even the navy.
As for the island they passed before, it was entirely because it was a winter island with no special products and was too poor for the pirates to bother fighting for. But the island in front of us is not very harsh in terms of climate. There should be many pirates willing to use it as a foothold or even a base camp.
Unless, this island is fully capable and confident of protecting itself. Otherwise, they wouldn't fly the flag.
There are also benefits to a powerful island, at least the probability of being attacked by other forces on the island will be much smaller. At least, without everyone getting together and moving on tiptoe.
With this in mind, Profik walked along the side path towards the interior of the island.
Soon, Profik came to the island town. This town is quite large, with wide streets and tall buildings. It looks like it should be a quite prosperous island. But the streets were lifeless, with not a single pedestrian in sight. It's simply more depressed than Winter Island.
Some of the surrounding houses had thick curtains drawn, and looking inside from the unobstructed windows, there was no sign of human activity at all. Judging from the condition of the furnishings in the houses, many of them had not been occupied by humans for at least several years. For example, in one of the houses, the calendar placed on the window sill was strangely opened to the year 1499. It's as if there is some power that will wipe out all human beings after this point in time.
As for those buildings that look pretty, if you look closely, you will find that their surfaces are already covered with dust and covered with layers of spider webs. These signs indicate that no one has lived in the town for a long time.
Seeing the situation in the village, Profik had a different guess - couldn't this be a dead island?
The so-called dead island is also a type of island. This does not mean that the island itself is dead, but that it is uninhabitable or, for some reason, uninhabited.
In the new world, dead islands are not rare. There are two most common reasons for the death of the island. One is the extremely harsh natural environment, and the other is the war.
But these two reasons don't seem to be able to explain the situation on this island. The natural conditions of this island are not harsh, otherwise it would not be possible to build such a beautiful town. And judging from the intactness of the town, it doesn't look like the island has experienced any war.
The reason why such an island became a dead island must have a more complicated story.
However, one thing is almost certain - there is a high probability that Profik will not be able to find a suitable doctor from this island.
