Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 121 Huge Gains in One Year.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

And for Li De and others, this year has passed very quickly.

Although Li De and his party mainly practiced in this year, they did not practice hard all the time. Every once in a while, Li De would take people out to play and relax their tense nerves.

Go to the Spring Queen City·Santa Pobla for sightseeing, go to the Food City·Kip to enjoy food, go to the Carnival City·Sanfarud to participate in various celebrations, and go to the Fashion Trend Island in the East China Sea to appreciate the fashion forefront. It can be said that Li De took the girls to visit many places.

Under this training mode of combining work and rest, the strength of Li De and his party has soared.

After the magic power of all members has been alienated, the skills of using the color of observation, the color of armed, and the color of the king are definitely the top priority.

In the remaining time, those who got the ability were busy understanding and developing the skills to use the ability, and the two women who didn't get the ability were not idle either. They practiced physical skills, swordsmanship, and physical reserve. In short, they just referred to the ability value panel to practice whatever was lacking.

Once someone raised the ability value to the limit, Li De would take them to Luskena. After all, the beasts there were really fierce, and their physiques were extremely strong, which fully satisfied the accumulation of great deeds by the women.

After a year, all the women broke through Lv.2 and reached Lv.3.

Ipsilon and Delta even launched an attack on Lv.4.

They were able to make such progress mainly because they were the only two women who had the most time to exercise their physique.

Before they got the devil fruit ability, the two women's time allocation was to practice the three colors, that is, to continuously strengthen their physique.

For now, except for Li De, the strongest is Delta, even Claire can only rank behind her, followed by Beta and Ipsilon, and finally Zeta and Victoria.

Beta took advantage of the mythical beast species, otherwise it would not be possible to surpass Ipsilon.

Of course, this is just a simple comparison of physique. If the development of ability is used for comparison, Victoria can firmly rank first.

Don't believe it, just experience the 100-fold charm increase and temporary 100-fold physical increase that Li De personally felt, and you will understand how big Victoria's imagination is about the ability of the multiplication fruit.

You should know that Victoria's 100-fold charm increase firmly suppressed Beta, who was more sweet and lovely after integrating the sweet fruit.

Well, although the development direction of this ability is a bit unorthodox, this is only one aspect.

What really made Li De recognize was that Victoria's increase can even interfere with any cognitive things within a certain range, such as gravity. His practice for more than a year relied on the 100-fold gravity field area.

In addition, Victoria's increase limit is not limited to 100 times, but after exceeding 100 times, the more she increases, the more magic power she consumes will soar, so magic power has become a limit on her ability to use.

Of course, this limitation is nothing to Li De.

Li De once tried to increase the temperature by a thousand times alone, but he ended up burning himself.

If it weren't for the temperature bodyguard, Li De's observation color was warning him frantically, and his magic power dissipated quickly enough, it would not be as simple as burning, and part of his body might have been necrotic.

You should know that Li De's resistance to high temperature has reached a very high level. He was burned like this, so you can imagine how terrifying the temperature after the increase is.

It has to be said that it was not without reason that the World Government called Bondi Wald the World Destroyer.

Compared with Victoria's development of the super auxiliary performance of the multiplication fruit, the development of the fruit ability of the other women is slightly inferior.

Of course, it's not much worse. After all, it will awaken after fusion. The rest depends on how to play a trick that makes people's eyes shine.

There is nothing much to say about Zeta's thunder fruit. In the absence of her own scientific knowledge reserve, the direction is more towards the tricks that Li De has seen in his mind, such as the lightning armor and the super-electromagnetic gun.

Claire's Shadow-Shadow Fruit is slightly better. After all, the development of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's ability has little to do with science. The tricks developed by Moria plus the Shadow Escape from Naruto are all Claire has mastered at present.

This is not what Reed is looking at. What he really looks at is the magic power after the second mutation of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, which increases the shadow spell.

In the original work, Moria needs to suppress the person whose shadow is cut off if he wants to cut off someone's shadow, but with Claire, the shadow mage only needs a Shadow Escape to lurk in the opponent's shadow, and then directly use the flame blade with the burning shadow to draw it towards the heel, and then use the shadow gathering place to directly absorb the opponent's shadow into the body.

If it is night, this person will only feel the pain in the heel and then faint because of the loss of the shadow.

But if it is daytime, without the shadow, this person will immediately turn into ashes under the light.

Although the shadow in Claire's body will disappear when the object dies, the partial incomplete memory of the individual brought by the shadow will remain in Claire's body.

This was discovered by accident when Reed helped Claire experiment with the combination of ability and spells.

However, Reed has already warned Claire not to use this trick unless it is absolutely necessary, because this incomplete memory is a bit disappointing.

If it was just a mental memory, it would be fine, at most there would be a few more image fragments in the brain, but it happened to be a physical memory, which would affect Claire's control over herself, and she would have to spend time to readjust afterwards.

But if the last point is excluded, this move is quite sharp, and can kill many beings that cannot be killed by conventional means.

If Victoria found the correct way to open the multiplication fruit, Zeta is currently doing well, and Claire's combination of spells and abilities brought a surprise, then Beta, who got the Snake Snake Fruit, Mythical Beast, and Medusa Form, has developed the ability of this fruit in an incredible way.

Why do I say incredible?

Mainly because Bebeta's development direction of the ability is something that Reed has never thought of.

Apart from Reed himself, among the four devil fruits that he has obtained so far, the only one that Reed cannot give an opinion on is the Snake Snake Fruit, Mythical Beast, and Medusa Form.

After all, in Reed's opinion, after Beta awakened his ability, he has already developed the ability of the Snake Snake Fruit, Mythical Beast, and Medusa Form to the extent that it is difficult to add more tricks.

Compared with the development of ability, more energy should be put on strengthening the body.

Before Beta developed a new way of use, Li De always thought so.

But Li De still underestimated the persistence of the literary girl.

Beta developed a new way of use with almost no development.

That is curse magic!

In simple terms, it is to use media such as the opponent's hair and blood, and then use magic to petrify the opponent little by little.

The advantage is that you don't have to show up, and the disadvantage is that this curse magic is not strong and can be easily removed by holy magic.

Of course, Beta doesn't care about it at all. After all, this is a rough version of the temporary brain hole after borrowing from the shadow series of spells, but it proves that the road of using ability to develop magic can be taken.

Maybe this magic has no practical significance for the developer itself, but please don't forget one thing.

That is, unlike the uniqueness of the devil fruit ability, magic has universality.

As long as the spell template is determined, that is, a reasonable magic circle is constructed, anyone can use it. The only difference is the power.    The path that Beta proved actually has great significance.

Seeing that the time is approaching the beginning of the plot of One Piece, and it is also the day when Luffy goes to sea on May 5, Li De is also planning to go to the East China Sea.

You must know that the slippery fruit has not been eaten by Alrita yet, that is to say, as long as Alrita gets the slippery fruit first, after you have points, you don’t have to look for Alrita all over the world.

However, it is not so easy to find the Alrita Pirates in such a big East China Sea, so Li De is going to take everyone to the East China Sea this time to monitor the Alrita Pirates first.

Coming to the training ground built by Victoria with her ability, the girls are currently resting and chatting.

"Ipsilon, when I measured it yesterday, I found that you have grown another 1cm taller. Do you need to control it? You know, you are now 187cm tall." Claire spoke at this moment.

"My beauty belongs to the master alone. If I don't have enough height to scare those annoying flies, it will be very troublesome to go to social gatherings after returning." Ipsilon said nonchalantly.

"Ipsilon, I personally think that as long as those disgusting nobles with lust in their heads want to, they don't care how tall you are. Maybe it will stimulate their desire to conquer more." Beta couldn't help but smirked.

"Don't care what they think in their heads, but at least there should be fewer people who dare to come to me at social gatherings." Ipsilon couldn't help but glance at Beta.

After all, although Beta said so, her physical training level this year was only a little worse than hers.

With the blessing of the animal-type fantasy beast species, her height is also rising.

"That's right!" Beta nodded, which is also the reason why she lets herself go when exercising her body.

You have to know that compared with Ipsilon, the owner of this fantasy beast species is more charming. If you don't use special means to dissuade her, the crazy bees and butterflies that come to her will make people feel sick.

Of course, as a top tea art master, Beta is still confident that she can deal with social gatherings.

But if there are too many people, even she will find it difficult to handle it. Once such a scene is formed, it will be difficult to attend social gatherings in the future.

After all, women are very jealous. Beta also needs to give other women a weakness that can be attacked. After all, she doesn't want other noble women to be unwilling to come to any social gathering she attends.

In that case, the character of the novel family that was created at the beginning will be wasted.

"But speaking of it, this world is really very suitable for shaping the body. Even if the height is constantly increasing, the proportion is still so perfect. I can't help but admire myself in front of the mirror for a few more minutes." Ipsilon said very proudly.

"Delta thinks so too, especially BOSS." When Delta said this, he was interrupted by Li De's cough.

"Ahem, let's stop chatting here." Li De said.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Delta asked immediately.

"Well, I plan to take you all to the East China Sea tomorrow." Li De nodded and said.

"Master, are we finally going to the East China Sea to find my devil fruit?" Ipsilon said with his eyes shining.

"Indeed, the time is almost right." Li De continued to nod.

"Sid, aren't your points not enough?" Claire couldn't help but ask.

"My dear sister, it doesn't matter if it's not enough. After all, we are not looking for devil fruit users this time, but devil fruits that have not been eaten. As long as they are not fused, we can get them first and eat them, and then fuse them after we have points." Li De smiled and said.

"Oh, I forgot about this." Claire couldn't help but laugh. After all, once inertial thinking is formed, it is easy to fall into misunderstandings without any reminders.

"Then master, how are we going to find it?" Victoria asked immediately.

"I will divide the East China Sea into several areas, and each person will look for information about a pirate group in one area. As long as we find the captain of this pirate group and keep an eye on it, we should be able to get results." Li De took out the sea map of the East China Sea and Alrita's bounty order when he spoke.

"Master, is it this aunt with freckles on her face?" Beta asked.

"Beta, every fat person has potential. If she really gets the slippery fruit and loses weight, she will be a top beauty who is not inferior to Hancock." Li De nodded and replied.

"It's a pity that she has no chance, but it's still a good thing for her, at least she doesn't have to die." Ipsilon didn't want the devil fruit he reserved to be eaten by such a freckled aunt.

"Ipsilon, not necessarily. Pirates have today but no tomorrow. As long as there is a chance, even for one day, maybe others are willing to do it." Beta habitually argued with Ipsilon.

"Okay, about the division of regions, Zeta, your mobility is the strongest among us, so your area is the largest, so you will have to work harder." Li De then pointed to the map and said.

"I'm not working hard, master!" Zeta shook his head and said.

"Then there are the areas that Claire and I are responsible for, and finally Ipsilon, Beta and Victoria, the areas that you are responsible for." Li De then divided out the other areas.

"Master, the areas near the entrance of the Grand Line and the Red Earth Map are not included." Zeta said carefully.

"Don't worry about these places. With the strength of the Alrita Pirates, they are not qualified to enter the Grand Line at all. In addition, there is a natural devil fruit ability user guarding Rogue Town, so Alrita will not go to the surrounding seas. As for the area near the Red Earth Continent, don't worry about it. Any pirates who have a little self-knowledge will not go to the route where the World Government escorts Tensho Jin to their own destruction." Li De explained with a smile.

"So that's it. By the way, Master, do we have to come back after we leave?" Beta asked.

"No, after all, there is not much time left in this world, so I plan to form a pirate group to play. After all, it's my second time here. I always feel that something is missing if I don't experience the life of a pirate." Li De shook his head and said.

"Should we notify the people on the island?" Ipsilon asked.

"No need. We have taken away all the valuable things anyway. As for the land war between Angel Island and Shandia, it has nothing to do with us." Reed shook his head and said.

And the valuable things in his mouth are naturally the gold of the Golden City.

Although he has so much gold in his hands that it is just a number, Claire wants to fill her magic bag. The dragon's habit is understandable.

Therefore, most of the Ark Proverbs built by Enel were dismantled by Claire, and the golden bell cast with the historical text was also taken away by Claire. Only the historical text of the Sea King and the pedestal that recorded the information left by Roger were left behind by Claire and discarded casually in the ancient ruins where the gold was originally stored.

This is the result of Reed asking Claire to hold back, otherwise Claire would really plunder it and would not let go of even a little bit.

There is no gold on the Island of Gods except for the small amount of wealth in the belly of the big snake.

The next morning, Reed took the girls to the East China Sea.

As for the Island of Gods, the locals would probably understand what it meant. After all, when Li De took people out for fun before, he would not take away the mansion.

This time, even the mansion was gone, which meant that he would never come back.
