Chapter 208 Genius Boy
...
"Damn it, this shouldn't be the case. I'm usually pretty nice to them, right? I don't hit them or scold them, so why did they run away?"
Gel sat down and reflected for a while, and felt that it couldn't be his problem.
"Wait a little longer. Maybe he was having too much fun and ran away."
After saying this, Gel took out his fishing rod and prepared to go fishing to pass the time.
I saw an old man and a young boy starting their daily sea fishing.
Soon, Kulokas caught several big fish. The freshly caught sea fish were brought into the kitchen alive and kicking, and Fate cooked them into delicious dishes on the spot and served them out for everyone to taste.
It takes no more than 5 minutes from the time it is fished out to the time it enters your mouth, and the main focus is on freshness!
"tasty!!"
Weibull roared excitedly. Basically, after everyone else tasted one or two bites of each dish, they found that Weibull had eaten the whole thing by himself.
"middle!"
After finally catching a fish, Captain Gel excitedly pulled out the fishing rod, but what he caught was only a small fish the size of a palm, which flew directly into his face.
"Damn it, you haven't even grown all your hair yet and you're already trying to get caught. Go back now and call your grandma to come out for dinner!"
Gel threw the small fish back into the sea, cursing at the same time.
Looking at the black fishing rod in his hand, Captain Gel hesitated again.
It seems that this sharp knife-level fishing rod cannot save my fishing luck?
Anyway, I am so rich now, it shouldn't be too extravagant to spend a Drought Jack to exchange for a Supreme Fast Rod for entertainment, right?
"Captain, I want to try it too, can I?"
Enelu on the side hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Ah, what are you trying to do? You want to pull the boat?"
Gel was fishing to pass the time, still thinking about the loss of Ada and Aer. He might have to catch two more sea beasts and train them to pull the boat. When he suddenly heard Enel's words, he was a little unreacted.
"Oh no, I meant fishing."
Enelu quickly shook his head to deny it, fearing that the captain would assign him some strange job by accident.
"Oh, you're talking about that? Of course, Enelu, you are one of us now. You don't have to be so reserved except during training. Just treat us as your family and this place as your home."
Gel said as he handed over the fishing rod in his hand.
"Ah, yes, thank you Captain!"
Enelu appeared calm on the surface, but he was deeply moved.
There was no way. The special training with the devil instructor these two days was too hard. Now, whenever he heard any sound other than Barrett's scolding, he would feel an inexplicable warmth and sweetness in his heart.
Eneel carefully took the large-scale carbon fiber fishing rod signed by Captain Gel, and successfully got into the trap under the guidance of Kurokas.
No one noticed that the gears of fate had quietly begun to turn at this moment.
Gel stood up, walked to the bow and whistled a few more times in desperation.
Damn it, what an ungrateful dog! I should have stewed those two guys together earlier!! They were so fat for nothing!
Thinking of the sad thing, Gel couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the captain lose his beloved dog, Senior came to the bow and smoked a cigarette with Ger to ease his sadness.
"Dingling bell~"
The small bell on the fishing rod made a crisp sound.
"middle!"
Enel bent his body and pulled the fishing rod hurriedly. Just by looking at the degree of bending of the fishing rod, he knew that the fish caught must be a big one.
Enel gritted his teeth and struggled with the big fish. If it weren't for the fact that he was finally able to eat well every meal in the past few days and had not gained a lot of strength, he would have been defeated at this moment.
"Give it to me, come up!"
After a fight, Eneel, with the help of his equipment, shouted angrily and caught a big fish about three meters long.
"Haha, you caught a big catch so quickly! You have a real talent for fishing!"
Crocus laughed and patted Enel on the back to show his approval.
It was the first time that Enel was recognized like this. Although he still maintained that cold and arrogant expression on his face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a few degrees, and responded lightly:
"It took me a little effort, but that's all."
"Huh? This fish looks so weird, and it has a long nose."
Bi Ya, who was joining in the fun, said as she looked at the big fish still struggling on the deck.
Everyone on the deck also ran over to watch.
I saw that this fish had a big mouth and thick pink lips, big yellow eyes, and a streamlined body. Its back was dark blue with light spots along the midline, and its belly was silver-white. There were many beautiful marble-like patterns on its body. The most distinctive feature was the fins on both sides of its body that looked like elephant ears, and there were two tusks and a long trunk on its face.
Fate struggled to squeeze out from between Weeble and Moria, and was surprised to see the big fish on the ground:
"Ah! This... is amazing, Enel! This is the elephant tuna that can only be found in the South China Sea. How did it get here? I didn't expect that you could catch it! It's amazing!"
"Hahaha, this kind of thing is just a small thing for me."
Enel was not embarrassed at all when hearing the compliments, he said without any modesty.
"This is a miracle ingredient known as the gem of the sea! I've only seen it in books, but this is the first time I've seen it in the real thing! Can I be the one to cook it? I can't wait!"
Fate excitedly walked forward, touched it and said.
Before he could finish his words, he had already walked towards the kitchen with the fish in his arms. This rare and precious ingredient could only be handled by a professional chef like him, so he just asked politely.
"Of course, it's just an ordinary little fish, take it as you like."
Enelu began to gradually release his nature.
"This fish is no ordinary fish. It seems that Enel-kun is really talented in fishing."
Funi also said with a smile.
Listening to everyone's praises, the still very young Enel gradually lost himself in the praises. He was full of pride and felt that this moment was the highlight of his life.
In order to prolong this moment, Enelu pretended to be calm, put the bait back on the hook with trembling hands, and continued fishing.
"Humph, it's just temporary luck!"
Seeing him so arrogant, the strict instructor Barrett gave him a timely warning.
It’s a pity that at this moment, any words other than compliments cannot enter Enel’s ears.
Enel said that it was his earlobes that were big, not his ear holes, so it was normal for him not to hear something he didn't like.
He held the rod with both hands, his eyes fixed on the sea ahead, then he pulled the fishing hook up and moved it to another position.
"What's wrong?"
Kurokas, who was standing by, looked at him and asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's okay. I just suddenly found that I seemed to be able to hear where the big fish are."
Upon hearing this, Kurokas and Gel looked at each other and saw the smile on each other's face.
Captain Gel cursed the injustice of heaven inwardly. Damn it, even fishing for a fish could awaken one’s Observation Haki!
It seems that in the original work, Eneel's abnormal observation Haki, which allows him to have a very large range and can be used to monitor the specific conversations of everyone on the entire island, is not just the result of the Thunder Fruit, but Eneel himself is a genius with extremely strong talent in observation Haki.
