Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

You should know that when Li De summoned her, she was dining in a tavern on an island in the Grand Line.

"The risk should not be as big as you think. After all, the pirate group I founded is called the Masked Pirates." Li De smiled and said.

Hearing this, Karina looked up at the place where Li De pointed, and then noticed the conspicuous skull with half of its face covered by the mask in the center of the huge pirate group logo on the rising sail.

"Captain, I will definitely do my best to serve you, but I don't know when you will send me the mask? Sisters, do any of you have hair dye products or wigs? I was summoned temporarily, and my items were left in the Grand Line." Karina said immediately.

"Come with me, I have both wigs and masks here." Beta took over the topic and led Karina to the cabin.

When she came out again, Karina had put on a black butterfly mask, and her purple hair was also covered by her long orange hair.

At this moment, the dining table has been set up on the deck, and the food and red wine are ready.

"Let's welcome Kalina to join us!" After Kalina sat down, Li De raised his glass and said.

"Welcome to join us, Kalina!" The women said in unison.

"Thank you everyone!" Kalina also raised the red wine glass in front of her.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After the cheerful banquet, the women stood in their positions according to Kalina's request.

Li De, who came to the rudder next to Kalina, shouted loudly: "Little ones, adjust the sails, loosen the sail locks and the sail foot locks, pull up the floating ropes, and we are sailing!"

"Oh!"

"Captain, I wonder where you plan to go first?" After setting sail, Kalina came to Li De and asked.

"I heard that there is a sea restaurant in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea. I want to try it out." Li De said.

"Understood, I'll adjust the course right away." Kalina said, and then she turned the rudder and sailed in a certain direction.

Not long after sailing, Kalina said with a little surprise: "Captain, your ship is very different!"

Not far away, Li De, who was being fed by Claire on a recliner, heard this and asked: "What's different?"

"The speed is very fast, and it feels like driving a small sailboat." Kalina said slowly while holding the rudder.

"Your feeling is right. I asked a master to customize this boat, but it cost a lot of money." Li De did not elaborate.

"I see!" Kalina nodded after hearing this.

"Kalina, tell Beta and the others what you need to pay attention to when steering the ship. After all, you have to change people." Li De reminded him.

"I know!" Kalina actually wanted to ask people to change positions a long time ago.

Then Kalina told Zeta, Beta, Victoria and Ipsilon who came over on their own initiative about the things that need to be paid attention to when steering the ship.

Delta was training on the deck at the moment, and Claire also started training after feeding Li De.

After a while, Kalina came to Li De and looked at the women who were training on the deck and said, "Captain, the sisters are really hardworking."

"You are too lazy." Li De said after rolling his eyes at Kalina.

"Uh" Kalina was a little speechless.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Li De asked Kalina.

"Hehe, Captain, can you let the sisters teach me?" Kalina asked in a low voice.

"Isn't your catchphrase that women should survive by wisdom?" Li De asked a little curiously.

"But it's better to have both beauty and strength, isn't it, in the past." Kalina was interrupted by Li De just here.

"Okay, whatever you want to learn, just say it. Except for the domineering that must be awakened to practice, they will not hold back from you. As for how much you can learn, it depends on you." Li De immediately waved his hand, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

"I know, sister Delta, can you teach me?" Kalina immediately stood up and walked towards Delta.

I have to say that Kalina is really good at observing people's words and expressions. She saw at a glance that among all the women on the ship, only Delta didn't care about her getting close to the mysterious captain, so she chose Delta who would not be prejudiced against her.

In fact, Kalina didn't know that if she chose other people, she would probably suffer a little at most. As long as she didn't take the initiative to seduce Li De, Claire and others would not do anything excessive.

After all, she is far from being comparable to Alexia, and she is not qualified to make the women hostile to her.

Three days later, under Kalina's command, the Pure White Knight accurately found the sea restaurant Barati.

Although they saw the pirate ship approaching, the people in the sea restaurant were not panicked. After all, they have entertained more than one or two pirates since the opening.

For Barati's chefs, no matter who you are, as long as you can pay, you are a guest.

But if they come to cause trouble, we have to see whose fist is harder.

Of course, this situation does not happen often, because the nearby navy comes here every few days to consume.

In fact, ordinary pirate groups basically do not come to this sea area. After all, this is not a past route, there are no islands inhabited by humans nearby, and you can easily encounter navy warships.

This kind of place without money is not worth visiting at all.

As for Barati, it is just a small restaurant. How much money can it have? If the robbery is successful, it is probably more about food and seasonings.

Who would come here from a long distance for no reason?

After the ship was docked, Li De led his men down from the ship.

After entering the restaurant, Li De did not sit in the lobby on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor.

"Excuse me, ladies, what do you need?" A blond man with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a black double-breasted suit, a tie and a white shirt came over and asked in a very gentle voice.

"Hehe, handsome little brother, can you introduce us to the signature dishes of your restaurant?" Seeing that the other women had no intention of talking to the waiter, Kalina took the initiative to take over the topic.

"Beautiful lady, it's my honor!" With the voice, Sanji immediately came to Kalina and said.

Seeing this scene, Li De nodded secretly. Kalina's role is not only reflected in navigation, but also in external communication. It was indeed the right decision to bring her here.

After the introduction, Kalina asked for the opinions of others and completed the order.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Sanji came over with a rose in his mouth.

"Beautiful lady, your smile deeply touched me. I wonder if I have the honor to know your name." After presenting the rose, Sanji asked Kalina.

"Yes, gentlemanly knight, my name is Nami, and I am the navigator of the Masked Pirates." Kalina answered.

Puff. Ahem

Li De was directly amused by the questions and answers of the two people and couldn't help laughing.

"Excuse me, what's so funny?" Sanji asked immediately.

After all, Li De was so envious and jealous of the treatment surrounded by beauties.

"It's a bit funny, after all, I didn't expect the third son of Vinsmoke Judge to be so frivolous. After all, he is the descendant of the former King of the North Sea and is currently the prince of a member country. How can he act like he has never seen a woman?" Li De ridiculed Sanji unceremoniously.

"Don't mention that man's name to me. I have nothing to do with him." Sanji's face was very gloomy when he heard it.

"Then please don't harass my crew, okay?" Li De replied neither softly nor hard.

"Sorry, I disturbed you!" Sanji looked at Li De deeply, but then relaxed his tense body. After saying the words of apology, he turned around and left.

After Sanji left, Li De couldn't help but roll his eyes at Karina, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, if you use your little sister as a cover like this, if you are wanted, when you meet again in the future, she will most likely rush over and tear your mouth apart.

But to be honest, Karina with her orange wig really looks like Nami's half-sister.

And Li De didn't say this.

Without Sanji's harassment, Li De and others enjoyed a pleasant meal.

And until they left, Li De didn't see Sanji again.

Outside a room in Barati, Red-footed Zeff looked at the closed door and couldn't help saying: "Sanji."

"Old man, I want to be quiet!" A voice came from the room.     After leaving Barati, the Pure White Knight went straight to Rogue Town.

In fact, according to the speculation of those fanatical fans in the past, there was a gap of 156 days from Luffy's departure to the start of the war on the top, which is a little more than 5 months.

Luffy set off from Windmill Village on May 5, met Alrita on May 7, and was almost about to reach the Island of Precious Beasts at this moment, so Li De didn't have to rush.

After all, according to this time, the start of the war on the top is around October 10.

But for Li De, staying in the East China Sea is meaningless.

After all, the number of strong men who appeared in the East China Sea is too limited, only Hawkeye, Garp and Dragon.

Instead of wasting time in the East China Sea, it is better to go to the Grand Line to find a worthy opponent.

If the first half is really not satisfying, then just go to the second half directly.

Because of this, Li De went straight to Rogue Town, intending to take the mountain climbing current to enter the Grand Line directly.

In fact, with the current strength of Li De and his party, there is no problem even crossing the doldrums.

It's just that this is the second time to come to the pirate world, but I haven't even taken the mountain climbing current once, and I always feel that it's a bit of a waste of time.

After sailing towards Rogue Town for three days, Zeta on the watchtower suddenly said: "A ship was found ahead!"

"Where is the ship? Is it a pirate group?" Kalina, who was training, asked immediately.

Three days, Kalina has only been training for three days, which feels longer than three years for her.

During the three days of going to Barati, Kalina did not receive any training, but first gave the girls navigation training.

After all, according to Li De, if you want to gain, you must first give.

So if you want to learn knowledge, you must first give knowledge.

It was because of the three days of training for the girls that Kalina's formal training could begin after leaving Barati.

After starting the training, Kalina finally realized that becoming stronger was not that easy.

In addition to physical training, Karina had to undergo combat training every day. In three days, she was knocked unconscious by the girls in turn no less than 20 times a day.

If Victoria hadn't used holy magic to treat her, she would have been lying in bed and couldn't get up.

So when she heard about the ship, Karina was so excited.

Temporarily avoiding training was only one point, and the other point was that she was almost crazy with poverty.

And it was only a few days before she arrived in Rogue Town. If she didn't meet the pirates, she would have to steal money first if she wanted to buy something in Rogue Town.

After hanging out with Li De and his group for a few days, although Karina didn't care about stealing, she always felt that stealing money under the identity of the Masked Pirates would be embarrassing for Li De and others, and she would definitely be punished at that time.

Therefore, she has been eager to meet the pirates these days. After all, if she met them, according to Li De's words, the spoils would belong to her, and she could make a small fortune.

Because no matter whether there is treasure on the pirate ship, as long as the pirate group is rewarded, the head of the reward can also solve the urgent problem.

"It's a pirate group! And the other party has also discovered us, and it seems quite excited." Zeta's voice came down.

"That's good! Let me see who the other party is." Kalina said while holding a telescope and ran to the top floor of the rudder.

"Kalina, who is the other party?" Beta, who was at the helm, asked.

"That mark is the pirate group of Admiral Creek of the East China Sea! But didn't the newspaper say that they had gone to the Grand Line a while ago? How could they appear here?" Kalina said a little puzzled at this moment.

"Crick Pirates?" Li De knew why this pirate group appeared here.

That's because they encountered Hawkeye Mihawk and were chopped when they entered the Grand Line. When they couldn't beat him, they forced to cross the Calm Belt and ran back to the East China Sea.

And Hawkeye didn't intend to let them go, and he had already chased them to the East China Sea.

It would be fine if there was a deep hatred between the two, but Hawkeye just did it because he was bored.

It can be said that Creek is definitely the most unlucky captain in the first half of the Pirates plot, no one else.

"Boss, can we hunt?" Delta came to Reed's side and asked at some point.

"Zeta said that the other party is very excited, so let them be more excited." Reed said immediately.

"I know, Boss!" Delta turned around and planned to leave.

But before he could leave, he was stopped by Reed: "Wait, Delta!"

"Boss, do you have any other instructions?" Delta looked at Reed again after hearing this.

"There should be a man named Ajin on Creek's ship. Don't kill him. In addition, don't sink the ship, at least don't let it sink before Kalina loots the spoils." Reed said slowly.

"Yes, Boss, I will be careful to hold back." Delta nodded.

After speaking, Delta came to the bow in a few steps, and then squatted on the spot to accumulate strength.

The next second, with the power of Delta, the bow of the Pure White Knight began to tilt forward.

And just when the stern was lifted up several meters, Delta took advantage of the rebound force to soar into the sky.

After drawing a long arc, it landed on the bow of Creek with a bang.

"What happened?"

"Someone jumped over on the opposite ship!"

"Jumped over, how is this possible? We are at least two kilometers away from the other side!"

"That's right, the ship's guns haven't entered the range yet!"

"Another monster!"

"Mommy!"

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Bang!

Just as the messy sounds on the deck came one after another, the huge movement of the bow made the whole ship unconsciously quiet down.

"Who is Ajin?" Delta jumped out of the pit on the bow and asked in a low voice.

"I am, who are you? Why are you looking for me?" Hearing the person calling his name, Ajin stood up without thinking.

"You are Ajin?!" Delta confirmed.

"I am Ajin!" Ajin answered.

"BOSS's order, except Ajin, everyone must...die!" When Delta said the word "die", the figure had already disappeared from the bow.

The next second, accompanied by the explosion of blood mist on the deck and the belated wailing, everyone realized what happened.

"Help!"

"Monster!"

"Damn it, why...ah!"

"Where is Captain Creek!"

"The captain's head is flying!"

"I surrender, spare my life!"

"BOSS does not need prisoners!"
