Chapter 28


    "cheers--!"


    At night, a ship was anchored in the sea.


    In the dining room of the cabin, the four were holding a banquet.


    Holding a wine ss filled with juice, the four of them stood up to clink the ss and then chatted about various topics while eating dinner carefully prepared by the three girls.


    "...Nii-san, now you are a famous ''big man'' in the East Blue and almost all of the big pirates whose information was disclosed on this year''s rankings have also been crusaded by us."


    After chatting, Carina''s topic returned to their main business: "Then, will we keep low profile for a while and wait for the ranking to be updated, or mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, and the bounty for those not high, but ''little pirates'', whose information is almost public, are we hunting them?"


    "Let''s take a break."


    El drank the freshly squeezed juice, and suddenly stared at Nami sitting next to Carina, and said, "Next, let''s go to a ce and look for something."


    "Where?"


    Nami didn''t notice that El''s eyes were wrong and thought that Nii-san was asking about her navigator skill so she couldn''t help asking curiously.


    "Sixis Ind, do you know this ce?" El asked.


    "Sixis Ind? A very familiar ce name..."


    Nami looked like she had heard it before.


    Carina next to her also put down her wine ss, pinching her chin and showing a contemtive look.


    Seeing the expressions of the two women, Kuina, who was sitting next to El, shed a touch of envy in her eyes.


    It has been more than ten days since she joins.


    But Kuina found that apart from spending El''s money and eating El''s rice, she didn''t help El or even the entire team at all.


    Having been living in the small ce of Shimotsuki Vige since Kuina became self-conscious, there was nothing else in her mind except the sword.


    Unlike Nami, who has a strong sailing talent and geographical knowledge.


    She is also not like Carina, who has a precocious mind, strong intelligence gathering andmunication ability, that others can''t tell that she is only an eight-year-old girl.


    She is not like El, who is a master swordsman at the age of eight. Facing a group of ferocious pirates, he is like killing chickens.


    Compared with the three of them, Kuina is like a delicate andzy spoiled girl!


    This is undoubtedly a very shocking thing for this proud girl.


    "...Don''t be discouraged, you are not in the same position as them."


    Just when Kuina felt extremely depressed, a palm suddenly ced on her head and pat her iparably smooth blue hair.


    She saw El smile andforted her "You are an important member of our team. Starting tomorrow, I will train you hard."


    "Well, I''ll try my best!"


    Kuina nodded vigorously, and a me called fighting spirit burned in her beautiful eyes.


    "I...I remember!"


    At this moment, Nami''s voice suddenly broke the atmosphere.


    After patting the dining table, Nami looked at El with a puzzled expression: "Sixis Ind, if I remember correctly, it is a very famous and dangerous desert ind in the East Blue."


    "Desert ind? I also remembered..."


    Hearing these four words, Carina''s face also showed a sudden look: "Desert ind, it does not mean that this ind is a desert area, on the contrary, the reason why this ind is famous is because it is very beautiful. "


    "But under the beautiful appearance, there is a deadly danger."


    "Sixis Ind is an uninhabited ind with no animals, no water, no trees and no fruit... nothing to eat or drink."


    "If people have Shipwrecks at sea and identally enter this uninhabited ind, they will starve to death unless they are lucky enough to encounter a ship passing through Sixis Ind."


    "Therefore, Sixis is a very famous ind in the East Blue, but no one dares to go to it."


    After speaking, Carina looked at El and asked, "Nii-san, what are you going to look for on Sixis Ind?"


    "I''m going there to find a fruit... a devil fruit to be exact!" El said without concealment.


    "Devil Fruit?"


    This unfamiliar word made Carina and Nami stunned once again.


    Immediately, the two women seemed to have thought of something, and their beautiful eyes suddenly widened.


    "could... Could it be that..."


    Carina, who was the first to react, stammered in a rare tone: "Yes...is it the legendary treasure of the sea...Devil Fruit?"


    El nodded with a smile.


    "hiss..."


    Seeing El nod, Carina and Nami gasped.


    "The secret treasure of the sea actually exists?"


    "This...this is too incredible, isn''t it?!"


    Out of trust in El, neither two doubted the authenticity of the Devil Fruit.


    But Carina couldn''t bear her curiosity so she asked again "Nii-san, since you don''t know the location of Sixis Ind, how did you know that there are legendary sea treasures on this ind?"


    "As expected of you, you always hit the nail on the head."


    El gave Carina a thumbs up, then began to lie, revealing the tip of the iceberg about his abilities to the three girls "Remember what I said about Observation Haki?"


    "Uh-huh..."


    Carina and Nami nodded again and again, and Kuina also put down her chopsticks and look at El''s handsome and lovely face, waiting for his words.


    "Before visiting Kuina''s father, I actually didn''t know what Observation Haki was, and I thought that in this world, I was the only one with this kind of power."


    El said slowly: "It wasn''t until I challenged senior that I know what Observation Haki was, and at the same time I realized that my Observation Haki seemed to be different from other people''s Observation Haki."


    "Because... my Observation Haki is an innate ability, and it seems that I also have a special ability alongside it."


    After a slight pause, El looked at Carina and Nami in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "That ability is... As long as I touch someone, I can read their memories."


    "..."


    As El''s words fell, the three girls reacted differently.


    Nami, who was sitting opposite to El, and Kuina, who had just been touched by El''s hand, turned pale.


    On the other hand, Carina didn''t panic at all, instead, she showed an expression like she expected it and said, "No wonder Nii-san touched our heads for the first time when we first met and your words and actions. suddenly change, it turns out that you read our memories at that time."
