Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

After entering the East China Sea, everyone went to their respective search areas.

With the power of the contract to maintain communication, there was no need to worry about not receiving messages in time.

The first person to send the message was Zeta, after all, she was the fastest.

After searching for a day, Zeta could confirm that there was no trace of the Alrita Pirates in the area she was responsible for, whether on the island or on the sea.

The next day, Claire sent a message that there was no trace of the Alrita Pirates in the area she was responsible for.

On the third day, Delta also sent a message, confirming that the Alrita Pirates were not in the area she was responsible for.

At about the same time, Beta followed up with a message, saying that no trace of the Alrita Pirates was found.

On the fourth day, Victoria sent a message saying that the whereabouts of the Alrita Pirates had been found and they were currently tracking them.

After receiving the message, Li De immediately teleported everyone over.

"That's Alrita, so fat and ugly!" In the auspicious clouds created by Claire in the sky, Ipsilon looked through the telescope at Alrita who was giving a lecture on the deck and couldn't help saying.

"And this proves how powerful the beauty ability of the slippery fruit is!" Victoria said, after all, she had hesitated before whether to choose the slippery fruit.

If the slippery fruit could not be obtained a year ago, Victoria would most likely choose the slippery fruit.

It's a pity that it was not realistic to find the slippery fruit in the vast East China Sea at that time, and Victoria certainly couldn't bear to waste a year, after all, she didn't use substitution to integrate the physique of humans in this world, so as to alienate the magic power.

Therefore, she had to change to the multiplication fruit. Fortunately, the multiplication fruit responded to her expectations and could amplify the subjective concept.

But unfortunately, the subjective concept is different from the objective matter, and the amplification is not permanent, otherwise the beauty effect of the snake fruit, the real fantasy beast species, the Medusa form and the slippery fruit would be nothing in front of the multiplication fruit.

"Master, will we just keep following Alrita?" Beta asked. After all, it was really boring to follow like this. Besides, there was no place to practice in the air. At most, we could do something shameful.

"No, let my sister and Zeta take turns to monitor. Before getting the slippery fruit, Beta and Victoria can move freely. Delta and Ipsilon, who have changed their identities, can also move freely, but they must wear the eye masks used for banquets." Li De made arrangements slowly.

"Master, what about you?" Victoria looked at Li De and asked.

"I'm going to the Seven Waters City. There must be a ship to set up a pirate group, so I'm going to the Seven Waters City to customize a ship." Li De said slowly.

"Master, I want to go to the Seven Waters City with you." Beta said immediately.

"Master, me too!" Victoria followed immediately.

"Boss, I want to go too!" Delta also said.

"Master, I want to go too!" Ipsilon was naturally unwilling to lag behind.

"Don't go, stay in the East China Sea. If you don't want to move freely, you can stay here, or I can send you to Luskena." Li De didn't want the girls to go with him, especially Delta. Although Kalifa suddenly disappeared in the Seven Waters City, the CP9's undercover personnel did not withdraw, and they are still secretly investigating Kalifa's disappearance.

"Then I'd better go to Fashion Island to have a look. It's a good opportunity to purchase the latest clothing styles. The Chamber of Commerce may be able to use them." Beta said immediately.

"Boss, I'm going to Luskena to hunt sea kings!" Delta said his thoughts.

"Master, I'll go to Luskena to take care of Delta." Ipsilon followed.

"Master, Beta and I will go to Fashion Island to collect some items that the Chamber of Commerce can use." Victoria said immediately.

"Then it's settled." Li De nodded.

As for Ipsilon and Delta not wanting to stay in the East China Sea, it was more because they cared about Li De's concerns.

Among them, Delta is especially so. If he appears in the pirate world with an orc appearance, he will basically be regarded as an animal-type devil fruit ability user after transformation, which will attract attention.

After teleporting the four women away, Li De said to Claire and Zeta: "I will trouble you two in the next period of time."

"Master, this is what I should do!" Zeta's answer was quite formal.

"Sid, sister is willing to do things for you. It's not hard, but remember to come back at night!" Compared with Zeta, Claire's answer is very provocative.

Compared with her initial shyness a year ago, she has already completed the transformation from a novice to an old driver.

During the usual training, when resting and chatting, Claire would even discuss the service techniques with other women and exchange their own feelings about various postures.

If it weren't for this transformation, Li De would never believe it.

Of course, Claire's passion and unruly nature were only shown to Li De, as for outsiders, there was no possibility at all.

Let me put it this way, during the previous few trips out for sightseeing, Claire and others were approached more than once.

Beta's performance is more inclined to clever guidance. After a few words, the same group of people will fight among themselves. If they are different people, they will fight with each other. Then Beta will stand aside and cheer until Del can't stand it anymore. Until Tara leaves.

Ypsilon, Delta and Zeta expressed their disdain for chatting up. If they want the other party to get entangled, they will directly teach the other party how to behave.

Claire and Victoria's attitude towards other men is as cold as ice, and they exude an aura of keeping strangers away from them from a distance.

Don't even think about seductive charm, all you have is a biting chill.

"I know!" Faced with Claire's clear statement, Li De was helpless.

Because he knew that compared to when she was occasionally in high spirits, Claire was already very restrained at the moment.

It's all my own fault, no, it's all Vegapunk's fault. Why create some artificial phantom beast species for nothing!

After becoming a dragon and having in-depth exchanges with Li De, Claire broke through the shackles in her heart almost every day, so much so that after a week, the other women were considered conservative compared to her.

"Go back early and come back early," Claire said, looking at Li De with watery eyes.

But Li De didn't hear what he said next, because he had already teleported to the Capital of Seven Waters.

He arrived at Frankie's dismantling house slowly, and before he even got close, Li De felt the joyful atmosphere inside.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the noisy sound inside was muted.

With the sound of footsteps, a woman with a square hairstyle on her head and a sexy red bikini opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" After taking a look at Li De, Jiwei, one of the two Fang sisters, asked calmly.

And this tone was for the sake of handsome Li De. After all, the Franky family had a bad reputation in the Capital of Seven Waters, and Franky was currently known as the leader of the gangsters.

"I have a commission that I want to talk to Frankie!" Li De said with a smile.

"Who are you? Brother Franky has nothing to talk to you about. Leave now!" Baizan's head suddenly stretched out from behind Jiwei and said.

Buzz!

The next second, as the overlord color spread, Jiwei and Baizan in front of Li De, and even the other minions inside the disintegrated object all fell down foaming at the mouth. "You guys, what's wrong with you guys?" Franky shouted immediately after seeing all the boys around him fall down.

"Do you have time to talk to me now, Franky, oh, no, it should be Carter Frame?" Lid asked, looking at Franky.

"Who are you? What happened to them?" Franky said with a gloomy face.

"They are just in a coma temporarily. They will be fine after a while. After all, I still need you, so I won't do anything excessive to your men." Li De said calmly.

"That is to say, if I don't agree to do things for you, you will do something to them, right?" Franky's face became even more gloomy.

"Mr. French, your appearance can't help but make people misunderstand your intelligence. That's what I mean, so do you want to talk, or do you want to fight? If you want to talk, you should invite me into the house now. If you want to fight, I will do it in an instant. You can turn this place into dust. Although it is meant to be threatening, I still feel it is necessary to tell you clearly that the difference in strength between us is like the difference in size between a small fish and a windless sea king."

After listening to Li De's words, Franky stared at Li De, but his slightly trembling hand did not lift up in the end.

"Come in, please tell me what you want to talk about!" Franky said to Li De after moving away Jiwei and Baizan who were lying on the ground blocking the door.

After walking into the room, Li De looked around and then said: "Don't be so gloomy. In fact, if your younger brother didn't know how to respect the strong, I wouldn't have given them a longer memory. I'm looking for you this time." It’s to customize a model of a ship.”

"Model?!" Franky couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

"Don't think so much, I'm not interested in Pluto's design." Li De said immediately.

"You" Franky subconsciously covered his stomach after hearing this. After all, this is his biggest secret.

"As I said, I am no longer interested in Pluto's design, so even if you take it out, I don't have time to look at it." Li De continued.

"Who wants to show it to you!" Frankie suddenly shouted.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I want you to help me design a model of a ship. The specific requirements are as follows." Li De stated his needs in one go.

"Three questions, why does a model need to be so detailed? Second, if you want the model to meet your requirements, it must at least have the branches of the Adam tree. The third is that my cost is not cheap, you plan to pay Really?" Franky said after thinking about it.

"Why it needs to be so detailed, of course it's because of personal interest. As for the second question, I have prepared the branches of the Adam tree in advance, and also prepared a special metal for you, which is light and extremely hard. The model All the metal parts needed in the production must be made of this metal." After speaking, Li De took out a branch of Gemstone Adam and a large piece of mithril.

"Are you a Devil Fruit user?" Franky was a little surprised when he saw Li De take something out of thin air.

"I won't answer this question, and then about your last question. How much do you want?" Reed asked.

"I want 100 million Baileys, will you give it to me?" Franky couldn't help but say.

Bang! Bang!

The next second, two boxes filled with banknotes fell to the ground out of thin air. The force of the fall caused the unlocked box lids to bounce open directly, and stacks of Baileys appeared in Franky's sight.

"Mr. Franky, our deal is now concluded. I have no bargaining for your request. This is my respect for your technology. At the same time, I also hope that you can respond to my respect. After the model is built, I will let a third party inspect it.

I hope I won't hear any flawed evaluation at that time. After all, I came to you mainly because you are Mr. Tom's disciple. It's a pity that the world's strongest shipbuilding master died because of some villains. It's really a pity. But I believe you should inherit his technology. Don't let Mr. Tom be ashamed." Reed was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking, but was stopped by Franky.

"Since you know that I am Mr. Tom's disciple, then you should know that Bingshan is also one. Why don't you look for him, but come to me instead?" Franky wanted to figure this out.

"Two reasons. One is that he is busy. Although I can pay to buy him out for a period of time, it is difficult for me to solve the other reason, that is, there are CP organization spies lurking around him. Being targeted by the World Government's intelligence organization for a model is not in my interest." Reed gave an explanation after hearing this.

"CP organization" Franky seemed to recall some bad memories after hearing this, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Then how long will it take you to complete my model?" Reed asked Franky.

"I need to spend some time to study the metal you gave me, and I can start after I master the characteristics. You have a lot of requirements, and it takes a lot of time to handle the details, so it will take at least half a month." Franky thought for a while and replied.

"Very good, I will come to you in half a month, I hope you won't let me down!" After saying that, Reed walked out.

After a while, Li De returned to a certain sea area in the East China Sea, and then lay leisurely in the auspicious cloud created by Claire, holding Zeta with his left hand and Claire with his right hand.

"Sid, you came back really quickly!" Claire said a little unexpectedly.

"How long will it take to find someone to customize a model ship?" Li De smiled and replied.

"Model ship, is the owner going to let Victoria's ability multiply it?" Zeta reacted immediately.

"Ah, if it is just an ordinary wooden sailing ship, there is no need to use the ability, after all, we don't lack this little construction fee. But this ship is different. I have very high requirements for it. It must be manufactured according to the actual situation. I am not worried about the materials, but I am afraid it will take a lot of time." Li De nodded and said.

"Sid, this ship is going to be brought back to our world, right?" Claire asked.

"Well, actually I had the idea of ​​building a spaceship before, but unfortunately we don't know the shipbuilding technology, and we don't have the ability of the multiplication fruit. We couldn't afford the consumption of mithril before, so it was delayed until now." Li De nodded.

In fact, Li De did have the idea of ​​building a spaceship a long time ago. After all, he happened to have a finished product of the core of the spaceship in the Eight Men's World, and there was more than one.

It's a pity that Li De and the girls in the Shadow Courtyard are completely amateurs in the profession of shipbuilding. In addition, Li De wants a magic flying ship that looks cool enough.

This requires a lot of mithril, and before getting Iluber's wealth, Li De didn't have the ability to pay.

After all, you can't drain the liquidity of the Four Yue Chamber of Commerce for a ship, so the vehicle has been delayed until now.

After enriching the devil fruit abilities of the girls under him, Li De added new requirements.

For example, the power acceleration system, the fire acceleration system, etc., so a professional in this area is needed to build it.

The best construction host is actually Vegapunk, but he is always under the surveillance of the World Government, so Reed can only settle for the second best.

Franky, who has studied Pluto's design drawings enough, is not difficult for him to build an energy propulsion system. After all, he can even make a jet that uses Coke as energy, so a more direct energy source is even easier for him.

"What kind of ship will it be? I can't help but start looking forward to it now." Claire said curiously at this moment.

"I'm curious too." Zeta nodded.

"Nothing else, but at least there will be no shortage of big bed rooms." Reed couldn't help but touch the two women and said.

"Hate it, Sid!" Claire said this, but her body squeezed over honestly.

Twenty days later, Reed took back Franky's carefully crafted ship model from the Seven Waters, but the Alrita Pirates still had no results.

Claire, who was lying on the edge of the auspicious cloud, looked at the Alrita Pirates far below with a little impatience.

"Sid, how long do we have to wait? It's really boring."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be today." Li De said next to Claire.
