Evolution: Start AS A Raft

"This way, let's vote on who eats this Poseidon fruit. Besides Arsan, you guys pick one of Terry, Armin, and Avril." Raine said.

The Poseidon fruit was so precious that Raine could imagine that the guys were preoccupied because they were under too much pressure.

Of course, they might be thinking about more. For ordinary people, the sea god fruit is enough treasure to change their fate if the captain did not sell the sea god fruit. Who will the fruit be distributed to?

The crew looked at each other, and none of them said anything.

The atmosphere was a little strange, perhaps because of suspicion, but Raine did not believe that his crew would be like this. They have experienced life and death together.

"Well, since none of you are talking, fine, everyone vote anonymously. Avril, go get four pieces of the same paper, one for each person, and write it down."

The crew dawdled and dispersed.

The voting time was shorter than Raine thought.

Avril reached the bow with four sheets of paper, "Captain, it's all written."

"Open it up, and I'll read it out."

Avril was a little nervous for some reason but opened the first chapter of the note anyway.

"Avril. good, next." Raine read out the name on the first sheet of paper, and at the same time, he noticed Avril froze for a moment.

This girl seemed to have something in mind.

"Second one, Avril. next." Avril froze for a while this time. She looked at Terry and the others while Terry, Arsan, and Armin looked at Avril with a smile.

"Avril." The result of the third one also came out, and it was still Avril.

This time, Avril's eyes were instantly red, and two lines of tears couldn't stop flowing down. She lowered her head and looked at the last piece of paper, "Everyone... thank you... I..."

Three of the four chose Avril. The last vote did not matter.

Armin came over and hugged Avril, "Sister Avril, although my Abba has a bad leg and maybe the Poseidon fruit can cure him, we all know that you are the one who needs this Poseidon fruit the most."

Terry laughed, "Avril, I am also so old that it doesn't matter whether my legs are good or not. Besides, our family has already produced an Arsan. This Poseidon fruit should be rightfully yours to eat."

Arsan also came over with Armin, hugging the crying Avril, "Avril, we go together when we find your enemies, okay?"

Avril aggrieved to raise her head, looked at Arsan, crying sadder.

Surprisingly, Raine's key vote seems to be useless. But this is good. Everyone did not let him down.

So why did they make the atmosphere so mysterious before?

........................

At night, the boat was floating quietly on the sea. The crew was basically asleep. Only Avril leaned on the bow, looking at the stars in the sky.

"Captain, thank you, I didn't expect you to keep Poseidon fruit." Avril's head leaned on the side panel of the ship, arms hugging legs. The night sea breeze is a little cold.

"I thought investing in the crew would be more profitable." Raine said honestly, "But I warn you, in the future, even if you get your revenge, you must follow me. I don't want to let my 500,000 run away."

Avril couldn't help but laugh, "Captain, when you saved me, I said I would always follow you, even if I didn't get the Poseidon fruit today."

Raine did remember Avril's words.

Avril let out a long sigh. She spread her palm, a note in her hand, the one left over from the daytime vote.

"Captain, am I being selfish?"

"Eh?" Raine wondered.

Avril slowly opened the slip of paper. Raine saw that it was still "Avril."

In other words, Avril voted for herself.

Raine immediately understood the meaning of Avril's words.

"Terry and the others were thinking of me, and I felt... I was really selfish."

The sea breeze blew by, raising Avril's long hair, the hair gently caressing the bow. Although Raine could not see Avril's expression at this time, he could feel Avril's deep self-blame.

"Avril." Raine's voice became calm, "Did you all forget I have a vote?"

Avril looked over sideways, wondering why Raine suddenly mentioned this point.

"Whatever it turns out, my choice also is you," Raine said with certainty.

For a moment, Avril's eyes became blurred, "Captain..."

"Do not look at me so fondly. Even if you find your enemies, I may not help you. I never do any dangerous attempts!"

Avril didn't say anything else, just leaned against the ship's bow, with a strong sense of satisfaction on her face.

........................

After eating the sea god fruit, the body will undergo more drastic changes, which will last for some time.

It is obviously not appropriate to eat it on the Morgan Trading Market, so Raine decided to head to the island he passed by before, where the resources are gone, but because of that, it should be safer.

Five days later, Raine and his crew passed through the reef area and arrived at the most secluded island.

Returning to the island again, Raine was no longer a small plank boat of two or three meters long; now, he was twelve meters long.

"There are storms here from time to time, so fewer people come. Arsan, you accompany Avril here to eat Poseidon fruit. We go to the sea to catch some fish. She may have a large meal after that."

"White, you just on the shore to watch out."

Avril, Arsan, and White got off the boat with the Poseidon fruit. Terry and Armin stayed on the boat and fished just a short distance out to sea.

Terry skillfully spread the nets, then sat bored on the boat board.

"Captain, is this island you found?"

"It was recorded on Avril's grandpa's chart," Raine said.

Armin also came over to chat, "Captain, this island is a little bit remote, but the surrounding reef area is a good natural barrier. If built, it can be used as a place to live."

"I'm afraid not. The storms here are frequent and particularly fierce. It's not safe to live here."

"Ah, captain, have you seen the storms here."

"That's for sure, I tell you, that time..."

Raine was about to tell the crew a good story about the captain's legendary experience. Suddenly, Raine received a warning from the system.

Before he had time to show off, the bad news came.

"Shit! How can anyone come to this shithole?!" Raine immediately exclaimed, "Terry, Armin, a pirate group is coming!"
