Konoha: I Have Hidden Identity

Chapter -29.

On the boundless sea, Suzuki bought a small boat.

It was the second day of his sailing at sea.

Unlike the Grand Line, where the sea conditions were complex, Suzuki couldn't sail alone there.

But in the West Sea, with his own sailing skills, he was capable enough to navigate the ocean.

After all, the boat wasn't large, just slightly bigger than the one he used to hunt pirates back in Alabasta.

There were no sudden storms, heavy snowfalls, nor any magnetic interferences that made it difficult to get an accurate direction.

Suzuki's voyage was very pleasant.

With the ability of the Baku-Baku no mi, he didn't have to worry about a shortage of supplies.

He bought over a hundred large crates, filled with various items including food, metal blocks, fresh water, and living supplies.

Therefore, Suzuki didn't lack for food and drink.

As for training, he spent a lot of time practicing the abilities of the baku-baku no mi.

Every day, he would take some time to enter the internal space of the baku-baku no mi, creating various unique items in that universal factory.

For instance, swords, daggers, flintlocks, rocket launchers, etc., he successfully produced quite a few with the universal factory.

These arms and weapons were stored in the space of the baku-baku no mi, making it very convenient for Suzuki to use.

He could either spit them out directly or combine a part of his body with that type of weapon.

Just like now~

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

With a calm expression, Suzuki was madly shooting with his hands transformed into flintlocks.

"Ah, help me..."

"Run, hurry and jump into the sea..."

"Ah, my hand, my hand is broken..."

"Captain~ Ah, the captain is dead!"

"Ahhhh..."

Listening to the pirates' screams, Suzuki felt no ripple in his heart and continued shooting with his hands transformed into flintlocks.

This was a ragtag pirate crew from the West Sea, who came over after seeing Suzuki's small boat.

These pirates, seeing that Suzuki was alone and his ship was nothing special, probably thought he was an ordinary fisherman and decided to rob him.

Dozens of arrogant pirates with knives stood on the deck, their faces full of eager and bloodthirsty expressions, quickly heading for Suzuki's small boat.

Suzuki was not surprised at all.

Few of these pirates had good brains, and moreover, they were obviously just cannon fodder, so sending them on their way would be no problem.

Dealing with this kind of pirate crew, even those nameless small fry that couldn't even be found in the bounty lists of West Sea pirates with millions on their heads, Suzuki found it very easy to fight.

Just by merging with the flintlocks in the internal space of the Baku-Baku no mi, transforming his hands into flintlocks and shooting at those pirates from a distance, more than half of the ragtag pirates instantly died.

"Ah, I surrender..."

Calmly he was about to finish off the last pirate, this pirate seemed to want to surrender?

Unfortunately, Suzuki didn't accept surrenders; he simply didn't want to waste time on boring things.

From the encounter to the complete resolution, it took less than a minute!

The actual fighting time was less than twenty seconds!

This ragtag pirate crew encountered in the West Sea might not be weaker than the Blood Hammer Pirate Crew, but at least they had dozens of members.

However, Suzuki was no longer the Suzuki who had just arrived in Alabasta; he found it as easy to deal with pirates of this level as eating and drinking.

Suzuki directly found information about this pirate crew on the deck, but he was no longer interested in their bounties.

This kind of pirate crew had bounties that were too low, not worth his time to make a special trip to the Navy base.

So, he just found some metal blocks in the armory to swallow, and then set fire to the ship.

Back on his small wooden boat, Suzuki continued to contemplate the ability to merge with objects swallowed by the Baku-Baku no mi.

This ability was actually quite good; merging with various weapons felt similar to the weapon fruit of the Baby-5 from the Donquixote family.

However, the weapons Suzuki could currently create were not many; they were mostly basic swords, guns, and cannons.

In the future, by finding opportunities to discover more scarce resource mines, he might be able to create large destructive weapons.

This ability to merge with swallowed objects went far beyond just transforming into weapons.

He could also merge with steel, giving his body a layer of iron armor for protection.

He could merge with paper, which would make his body very flat and light, making him effortlessly blown away by the wind.

He could even merge with living creatures; occasionally, seagulls would rest at the stern or bow of his small wooden boat.

He tried to catch one and then swallowed it to use the merging ability…

The result was that he ended up with a pair of wings, but he couldn't fly. Above his head, the long neck of the seagull was still there, and it was frantically pecking at him in panic.

Suzuki had no choice but to helplessly cancel the ability.

He thought it was best not to try merging with living creatures again in the future.

After all, it was merging, not devouring.

Merging with weak small animals might reduce his own strength.

Even if he merged with powerful creatures, he might not be able to gain control.

After that, Suzuki continued to train his ability of the baku baku no mi fruit while sailing.

He was still at least one or two months away from the Peak of the West, and the vastness of the Four Sea Regions was indeed as vast as its name suggested.

On the fifth day of sailing, Suzuki encountered a group of clueless fishy pirates again. This time, he chose a blade battle and easily ended the fight in a minute and a half.

It wasn't until the twelfth day of sailing that Suzuki encountered one of the strong pirates after arriving in the West Sea.
