Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Less than a minute later, there was no more noisy sound on the ship.

Looking at the girl not far away from him, Ajin held the crutches with the iron ball but felt that he could not lift them.

Before entering the Grand Line, Ajin thought Captain Creek was the strongest.

After meeting Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Ajin realized that there are always people who are better than you, but the invincible image of Creek in his heart has not been broken, because Creek did not fight Hawkeye directly.

But at this moment, Ajin can no longer find an excuse to escape.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that Creek was slaughtered like a chicken without any ability to fight back.

It turns out that the legendary devil fruit ability user is so powerful, so powerful that it makes people despair.

A few minutes later, the Pure White Knight came over.

Ajin was also lifted up by Delta and jumped down.

"BOSS, the mission is completed!" Delta said.

"Well, very good, go wash first, your body is covered with blood." Li De said speechlessly.

In fact, with Delta's strength, a domineering color can deal with most of the pirates, and there is no need to make it so bloody.

"Yes, Boss, those pirates are so weak, it's not fun at all!" Delta left Ajin and walked into the cabin.

"There are still small boats for escape on Creek's ship, you can take food, water and the boat!" Li De looked at Ajin and then waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for not killing me, but why did you let me go?" Ajin asked puzzled.

He wanted to know this question, and the people around Li De also wanted to know.

"The most important thing to do when you go out to sea is to be loyal, but there are not many pirates who are loyal in this sea." Li De didn't continue talking here.

But everyone present had already understood what Li De meant, that is, I heard that you, Ajin, are very loyal, so I specially spared your life.

"Thank you!" After saying that, Ajin turned around and jumped onto the side of the ship, then climbed onto Creek's ship and prepared to leave.

"Kalina, you can't wait, right? If the spoils are yours, then they belong to you. Go collect them!" Li De said to Kalina with a smile.

"Thank you, Captain. I will definitely plunder the entire ship." Kalina climbed onto Creek's ship after saying that.

As soon as she got on board, a strong smell of blood choked Kalina. After seeing the tragic scene on the deck, Kalina immediately held onto the side of the ship and vomited.

In fact, Kalina has seen many dead people in the sea for many years, but this is the first time she has personally experienced such a bloody and tragic slaughterhouse.

After holding onto the side of the ship for a long time, Kalina forced herself to plunder despite the discomfort.

Kalina is the same as Nami. Her obsession with money is comparable to that of a dragon. So no matter how dissuading the scene at this moment is, it is impossible to give up.

Half a day later, Akin had already seen the trace in a small boat, and Kalina returned to the Pure White Knight with two large bags of things.

"Have you finished the search?" Claire, who was nearby, asked.

"The valuable things have been searched, but the bounty head has not been dealt with yet." Kalina replied.

"Kalina, you don't want to bring the head on board, do you?" Ipsilon asked with a slightly unhappy look on his face.

"How can I, sister Ipsilon, there is a lifeboat on Creek's ship. I will put it on it and hang it outside the stern of the Pure White Knight." Kalina shook her head and said directly.

"This is better, but is it necessary for Kalina? Anyway, after entering the Grand Line, there will be many pirate groups that will be robbed by us." Beta on the side also persuaded.

"Sister Beta, the most valuable thing on a pirate is the bounty on their head. Often, the wealth they rob will be spent quickly, and they can't save any money at all." It's not the first day that Kalina has dealt with the East China Sea pirates.

Except for a few pirates who save some money for emergencies, the others are lavish, after all, they rob money just to spend it happily.

If they don't spend it, will they keep it for the navy that arrested them or pirates who are stronger than them?

"How much are the two bags in your hand worth?" Zeta, who had been silent, asked.

"About three to five million Baileys, depending on where it is handled." Kalina answered without any consideration.

"Let her go, Kalina is not wrong, the most valuable thing for a pirate is the bounty on his head." Li De's voice came.

After all, Creek's head is worth 17 million, and Creek's ship must have more bounty heads. If Ajin had been left behind before, he could have added another 12 million Baileys.

"Thank you, Captain. I'll finish it soon." Kalina said as she carried her harvest into the cabin with a smile.

"I complained about being tired when I was exercising, but now I feel like I don't feel the weight of carrying two large bags at all." Claire shook her head helplessly as she watched this scene.

An hour later, after finishing her work, Kalina finally controlled the Pure White Knight to set sail again.

Originally, I thought that there would be no more twists and turns before I could reach Rogue Town again, but I didn't expect that Zeta's voice came again not long after the voyage.

"A small boat was found ahead!"

Accompanied by the sound, Li De suddenly stood up, casually drew out the sword that Claire had placed beside him, took two steps to the bow, and then swung it hard in the direction of the boat.

The next second, a red slash flew in the direction of the boat.

At the same time, a green slash flew over from the boat.

A breath later, the two slashes collided on the sea surface.

The violent airflow instantly blew up the sea surface that had been cut by the slash, and continuously pushed the sea water at the center of the collision to the surroundings, causing the originally calm sea surface to instantly rise nine feet high.

Joracol Mihawk!

Li De, who was lying down before, suddenly saw the future five seconds later, so he stood up and came to the bow to swing the slash.

After all, Li De didn't want his Pure White Knight to be cut open by Hawkeye's slash.

The next second, six figures appeared beside Li De at the same time and lined up one by one.

It was not until this time that Kalina, who was at the helm, finally reacted to what had just happened.

There is no way, who said that there are so few strong men in the East China Sea.

So it was the first time that Kalina saw what kind of special effects scene the fight between real strong men was like.

However, this situation of cutting the sea surface and exploding huge waves at any time was really a bit scary.

If there were not a few figures that made her feel at ease blocking the front, Kalina would probably have shrunk into a corner and trembled at this moment.

After the sea surface gradually calmed down, the two sides approached again, but no matter who it was, they did not attack again.

"I didn't expect that there was a strong man like you in the East China Sea." After approaching, Mihawk was the first to speak with high fighting spirit.

Clang!

Facing Hawkeye's words, Li De put the knife he was holding back into the scabbard on Claire's waist beside him.

Seeing this scene, Hawkeye couldn't help but frown.

"There is no point in fighting between us. I am not a pure swordsman. My cultivation in the way of swordsmanship is a little far from yours. Fighting with me will not only not let you feel anything, but also risk damaging the black knife night." Li De shook his head and said.

If he had not determined the path before, Li De might not have let go of the battle with the master of swordsmanship.

But now Li De only wants to tap the potential of his bloodline, so he doesn't care so much about the swordsmanship.

As for the girls around Li De, although they are not weak, their wills are not tempered enough.

At this moment, they are facing a master of the level of the vice admiral of the navy, so Li De must have let them take action, but facing Mihawk, it is still too early for them.     Seeing Li De so calm, Mihawk was stunned for a moment, and then put the black knife night back into the scabbard behind him.

Because his observation Haki told him that the man on the opposite ship was like a volcano ready to erupt, very dangerous but different from the danger he felt before.

Although he couldn't describe the feeling at the moment, Mihawk was very clear about one thing, that is, the other party was not lying, and he really had the ability and strength to damage his beloved sword.

If they met on an island, Mihawk would want to give it a try even if he believed it.

After all, it's hard to meet a strong man, especially in the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest.

But on the sea, forget it.

As for forcibly boarding the ship to fight, Mihawk was just bored at the moment, not looking for death.

There was only Li De, Mihawk felt that he could try, but the several women around Li De had strong auras and didn't look so easy to mess with.

One-on-one is no problem, one against seven is a joke.

And this is the equal dialogue brought by strength.

It was because Li De was strong enough that Mihawk was willing to have an equal dialogue.

If it was Creek before, Mihawk would have been chasing him all the way from the doldrums of the Grand Line just to kill time.

"Come on board, I'll treat you to a drink, a good drink!" Li De suddenly said.

"Invite me a drink?!" Mihawk, who was originally planning to leave, looked at Reed on the Pure White Knight with some surprise.

"Well, it's mainly because it's rare to meet a hero like you. Of course, don't think that I will invite everyone. Even heroes like Whitebeard or Red Hair, I won't invite them, because I don't invite people who don't know how to taste wine. So are you coming?" Reed continued to ask.

"Then I have to taste what kind of wine it is." Faced with Reed's invitation, Mihawk hesitated for a while before agreeing. Anyway, tasting wine is his hobby to kill time.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he did not feel any malice from Reed.

"Beta, Ipsilon go prepare some snacks, Zeta, you will replace Kalina, Victoria, Delta, take out the table, Kalina, come down and help Mihawk tie up his boat." Reed immediately instructed the women around him.

"Yes!" After the women answered, they got busy.

"Go and get my treasured wines and top-quality red wines." Li De patted Claire's butt before speaking.

"Are you going to get all the treasures?" Claire asked in shock.

"Well, for this man, one glass is fine. After all, it's not easy to meet a hero who knows how to appreciate fine wine." Li De said with a smile.

"I know!" Claire also walked towards the cabin.

After Karina helped Mihawk tie up his coffin boat, a small square table with dishes was placed on the deck, and on both sides of the square table, there was a very luxurious chair.

Since it was not a formal meal, there were not many things, and the arrangement was not so particular, but there was no lack of ritual.

After taking a seat at Li De's signal, Beta and Ipsilon brought the dishes one after another.

This surprised Mihawk a little.

Because he, an old otaku, usually cooks his own food, so he naturally knows that it is impossible to make these dishes in such a short time.

However, Mihawk did not raise any questions, because the dishes served had nothing to do with leftovers, and each one was very exquisite.

Then Claire also brought the drinks, and there were two bottles of wine, one white and one red, on the tray.

The white one is transparent glass, which contains colorless and transparent wine, and the red one is Mihawk's favorite red wine.

After Claire put down the tray, Beta took the white glass wine bottle and uncorked it, and a cool and unique sweet fragrance emanated.

In just a moment, Mihawk's eyes, which were originally curious, suddenly became extremely sharp.

With a trace of caution, he quickly poured the transparent and flawless wine into two celadon wine glasses, and Beta immediately pressed the cork on the bottle mouth. At this time, Ipsilon held the wine glass and placed it in front of Li De and Mihawk.

"Mihawk, before tasting the wine, let me say one thing, that is, I am not stingy, but I will only treat you to one glass of this wine. Please taste it!" Li De pointed to the wine in front of him and said.

As he said that, Li De handed the wine glass he had taken a sip of to Claire beside him.

After waiting for Claire to take a sip, he handed it to Beta, and then passed it down at once.

"This is." Mihawk looked at Li De a little puzzled.

"It's hard for me to take out this wine once, but good things should be shared with people who deserve to share them." Li De said with a smile.

But in fact, Li De meant another thing, which was to make Mihawk feel at ease. After all, he, like Crocodile, would not trust anyone at all.

Mihawk, who heard this, picked up the wine glass and did not rush to taste it. Instead, he looked closer, sniffed it again, and then took a sip.

In just a moment, Li De felt that Mihawk's eyes widened a little again.

"This taste" After swallowing the wine, Mihawk wanted to sigh, but at this moment he felt that his vocabulary was a bit lacking.

"It's a strong sweetness that makes your tongue numb, but it's not greasy when you enter the mouth, it goes smoothly into the throat, and the fragrance passes through the nasal cavity in the blink of an eye, and it's refreshing. The consciousness is controlled by the last trace of the aftertaste, as if the charm permeates every corner of the body, right?" Li De promptly added the feeling that Mihawk could not describe.

"That's it! I have never tasted such a top-level wine!" Mihawk immediately exclaimed.

"Then please cherish every sip." Li De smiled.

"Unique? No wonder I've never heard of it." Mihawk is not stupid, how could he not understand what Li De meant.

"For now, it is indeed unique." Li De nodded.

After all, this wine comes from Orario. Before Li De received the second mission about the world of Dicuo, he really couldn't return to Orario, so he naturally drank less and less wine.

In fact, before this time, Li De took it out once, when he celebrated after the nine shadows signed the contract at the same time.

In fact, if Li De knew the subsequent mission world, Li De would definitely not pile up potions and money in the limited portable space, but would fill it with wine.

But who asked him to go to Orario for the first mission? As a result, when he left, he took two bottles of Soma's defective divine wine, and he got a bottle of red wine brewed by Dionysus.

"What is the name of this wine?" Mihawk asked.

"Divine wine!" Li De said.

"It deserves the name!" Mihawk agreed.

"Mihawk, you're talking too early." Li De shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Mihawk looked at Li De in confusion and asked.

"This wine is indeed a divine wine, but the divine wine is not the name, but it is brewed by the god of wine, so it is called divine wine, and what we drink is a defective product!" Li De explained slowly.

"This wine is actually a defective product?!" Mihawk was full of disbelief.

After all, he didn't dare to say that he had traveled all over the world since he was born, but he had been to too many places.

As a wine lover, he dared to say that he had drunk most of the wine in the world, but he had never had a wine that could compare to one tenth of this wine, oh no, one hundredth.

And such a wine is actually a defective product, it's unbelievable!
