Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"I didn't have the chance to taste the genuine divine wine, but even if I had the chance, I wouldn't dare to taste it." Li De continued.

"Why is that?" Mihawk was puzzled.

"Because it is rumored that even a drop of genuine divine wine can intoxicate the soul. Anyone who has drunk the divine wine will be intoxicated by it. In order to taste it again, they will do anything, whether it is burning, killing, looting, or anything else. In other words, anyone who fails to pass the test of the divine wine becomes a slave to the wine."

After listening to Li De's explanation, Mihawk's breathing became a little faster.

"Don't even think about it. Even defective products are going to be extinct, let alone genuine ones." Li De immediately added.

"Is that so? It's a pity." Mihawk felt a little disappointed after hearing this.

Because he felt that if he could get the opportunity to be tested, maybe his will would be improved again.

"Don't be so disappointed. You have to know that you have already surpassed more than 99.9999% of the people in the world who can drink this wine. If this is not intuitive enough, let's put it another way. Even the Five Elders who control the World Government have not had the honor to drink this wine." Li De smiled and said.

"The Five Elders have not drunk it. Isn't this a collection of the Celestial Dragons?" Mihawk was very surprised.

"I'm not a Celestial Dragon. Besides, those idiots with shit in their heads are naturally arrogant. How could they lower themselves to invite you to drink?" Li De spread his hands and said.

"Indeed!" Mihawk did not deny this.

You have to know that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are just minions under the World Government. How can they be recognized by the Celestial Dragons and become guests of honor?

"Would you like some more red wine?"

During the chat, Mihawk had emptied his glass unconsciously, so Li De asked this question.

"No, in a short period of time, I may not be able to taste any wine." Mihawk shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, it will be fine after a while." Li De laughed immediately after hearing this, after all, he had this experience before.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know who you are!" Mihawk asked.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sid, and I am the captain of the Masked Pirates." Li De couldn't help but pat his forehead and said.

"Sid, I remember you. Let's stop here today. I hope we can meet again next time." After saying that, Mihawk stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't expect me to treat you to this kind of wine next time. By the way, are you leaving the East China Sea now?" Li De asked casually.

"Well, I plan to return to the Grand Line." Mihawk nodded.

"Stay a few more days." Li De tried to keep him.

"Why?" Mihawk looked at Li De and asked.

"There is a swordsman in the East China Sea that you should meet." Li De said so.

"Very strong?" Mihawk asked with bright eyes, after all, it was someone recommended by Li De.

"Very weak, but I personally think that in the next era, he is probably the only one who can challenge you." Li De said slowly.

"The next era?" Mihawk's eyes revealed a solemn look.

"The last era was the original pirate era where the Rocks Pirates and their remnants were rampant. This era is the great pirate era opened up by Roger and dominated by Whitebeard. The death of Whitebeard will open the next era. He is also old, isn't he." Li De said with a hint of mystery.

"Who is the person you recommend?" Mihawk did not continue to delve into this topic, but changed the topic.

"Roronoa Zoro, a famous 'pirate hunter' in the East China Sea." Li De smiled and said.

"'Pirate Hunter'?" After saying that, Mihawk went straight to his coffin ship.

"BOSS, this man is really strong." Delta looked at Mihawk who was going away, and said with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Forget it, Delta. This man is a pure swordsman. And among the members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is the only one I can stand." Li De waved his hand and said.

"Forget it then!" Delta immediately relaxed his momentum.

"Kalina, what are you doing?" Beta suddenly asked behind Delta.

"The sisters have tasted the best wine, I want to try it too! Although it is a little bland, it is better than nothing." Kalina rinsed the wine glass with water and then poured it all into her mouth.

Including Li De, the women were all amused by Kalina's behavior.

But Kalina herself didn't care, because she knew that if she missed this time, she would not have the next chance to taste it before leaving.

After the episode, the Pure White Knight arrived at Rogue Town three days later with smooth sailing.

Like other pirates, the Pure White Knight did not sail into the port, but aimed at the deserted coast of Rogue Town from the beginning.

After the docking, none of Reed's group stayed behind to watch over the ship, and all of them went ashore.

As for whether someone would come to steal the things on the ship during the absence, Reed was not worried about it at all.

Zeta alone could rely on the thundering ability to monitor the Pure White Knight at any time. If there were really blind people, they would probably be struck by thunder and doubt their lives before they even got to the front of the Pure White Knight.

After landing, they separated. After removing her makeup, Karina was busy going to the Navy Branch to exchange the bounty of the Creek Pirates and purchase personal daily necessities.

Li De and the others went to the square together. After all, since they had come to Rogue Town, how could they not visit the execution platform, a popular check-in spot?

But after going there, Li De did not feel anything from the somewhat mottled execution platform.

After all, things have changed. Of course, if Li De is willing to wait for ten days or half a month, he can appreciate the second smiling execution up close.

But this is meaningless to Li De.

It is okay to take a look when you come across it, but it is unnecessary to wait for it on purpose.

After leaving the Rogue Town Square, the group strolled around, and then purchased some special ingredients, and took the opportunity to see if there was anything that could be taken back as a gift for Alpha and the others.

After strolling around, Li De led the girls back to the coast.

When they arrived at the Pure White Knight, Kalina had already returned and even changed her clothes again.

"So soon, I thought I had to wait for you for a while." Li De couldn't help but say after seeing Kalina.

"I can't let the captain and the sisters wait for me." Kalina shook her head and said directly.

"Is there no shop worth visiting in Rogue Town?" Li De asked casually.

"Not really, but there is no need. Anyway, after entering the Grand Line, every island needs to store the magnetic field for the record pointer, and then there will be enough time to slowly select carefully." Kalina did not hide the real reason.

"Yes, generally speaking, as long as it is not a special island, the record pointer needs to be stored for a few days." Li De nodded when he heard it.

"Captain, we should set off. It will be difficult to see the mountain currents if we are late." Kalina couldn't help but remind him.

"Then set sail." Li De nodded and said.

"Master, there is a ship heading this way, and the mark on the sail is the navy!" Zeta seemed to feel something, and then flashed to the observation deck, and then passed the voice down.     "Navy?!" Kalina was not afraid at the moment, but mainly felt incredible, after all, the port of Rogue Town was not here.

You know, in order to avoid the navy, Karina chose to dock here, because this place is separated from the port by an entire island.

"Are they here to capture us?" Claire asked with a question, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

"Sister Claire, this is impossible, after all, we haven't been rewarded yet. This time it should be a routine cruise. After all, Rogue Town is the nearest island to the entrance of the Grand Line. Pirates who want to enter the Grand Line will most likely come to the island for the final supply. When it is inconvenient to enter the port, it is basic common sense to dock along the coastline." Karina shook her head and explained.

"Boss, what should we do now? Kill them?" Delta looked at Li De.

"There is no need to bother with a group of small fish. Anyway, with the speed of the Pure White Knight, the other party can't catch up, just sail to the Grand Line." Li De shook his head after sensing it.

After all, it is only a matter of time to make a name for yourself, and there is no need to use a group of weak chickens as stepping stones.

"Understood, set sail."

After Li De made the decision, the group began to get busy.

As the Pure White Knight raised its sails and slowly left the coast, the warships in the distance were already much closer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by the sound, the black shells whistled from far to near towards the Pure White Knight.

It's a pity that it didn't hit the Pure White Knight, and it was still a certain distance away from the hull.

And this is the closest distance between the two. After all, once the Pure White Knight officially enters the sailing state, with a lighter hull, it is not something that a bulky warship can catch up with.

In just less than a minute, the distance between the Pure White Knight and the warship was more than ten meters.

"Master, someone is catching up." Zeta's voice suddenly sounded.

"Someone is catching up? Who is so fearless!" Ipsilon looked back curiously, and saw a white smoke approaching quickly.

"The natural smoke fruit belongs to Smoker, the captain of the Navy Headquarters in Rogue Town, 'White Hunter'. No wonder he is so bold." Beta saw through the other party's identity at a glance.

"Is he so arrogant because there are few people in the East China Sea who can be domineering?" Victoria said with disdain.

"No, it should be because he has not been beaten by a master of domineering." Claire also said.

"Then let him be beaten this time, so as not to think that the natural system is really invincible." Li De added immediately.

"Sid, are you going to do it yourself?" Claire asked in surprise.

"Sister Claire, if a pirate group lets the crew be bountied first, the captain's face will have no place to put it." Kalina, who was at the helm, gave Li De's reason for taking action.

"That's right!"

The women who heard this immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

"Pirates, you are under arrest. Stop the ship and surrender, so you can suffer less." A minute later, Smoker, who turned into smoke, came to the deck and said loudly with a cigar in his mouth.

"You are the navy captain of Rogue Town, 'White Hunter' Smoker, right? Let me introduce myself formally." Li De stepped forward and said, but unfortunately, Smoker attacked him impatiently just as he started talking.

After all, he had seen the pirate flag pattern on the Pure White Knight, but it was obvious that he had no impression of it.

In other words, this pirate group was like most of the pirate groups in the past 20 years, and it was an unknown one.

He had defeated many pirate groups like this, after all, they were not even qualified to be rewarded, so how strong could they be.

Not to mention that except for one man, the rest of the people on the ship were all women.

Such trash was formally introduced. Don’t you know that what I hate most is the guys who pretend to be so?

Well, although Smoker is very straight, I believe that no matter whether he is straight or not, any man who sees this situation of a man and many women obviously opening a harem would probably be extremely unhappy in his heart.

And seeing Smoker’s fist directly hit his face, Li De was also a little angry.

He slightly turned his head to avoid Smoker’s white fist, and Li De disappeared instantly after a puff.

Seeing this scene, Smoker’s pupils suddenly shrank, because he recognized this move as [Shave] in the Six Styles of the Navy.

He was about to step on the spot with his feet, but before he could even take the first step, Reed's figure had already appeared behind him.

So fast!

Sensing the breath that Reed had deliberately released, Smoker wanted to turn his head, and his other hand had already touched the ten-hand grip on his back.

"Too slow!"

As the voice sounded, Smoker felt that the scene in front of him suddenly accelerated. After a bang, a severe pain spread from his cheek, and there was also a feeling of weakness from touching the sea water.

What happened? !

"Hey, Mr. White Hunter, do you have time to listen to me now?" Reed's voice sounded in Smoker's ears again.

"Who are you?" His cheek was slightly deformed and pressed against the deck. After the pain kept reminding him that the man who suppressed him was very strong, Smoker finally wanted to know Reed's identity.

"My name is Sid, and I'm the captain of the Masked Pirates." Reed replied with a smile.

"Why would a man like you appear in the East China Sea? Why would a strong man like you remain unknown?" Smoker continued to ask while gritting his teeth.

"I just chose the East China Sea as the starting point. After all, this is where the legend of Pirate King Roger began. As for being unknown, it's normal. After all, I am the type who plans before I act. How could I go out to sea without preparation?" Li De smiled and answered Smoker.

Hearing this, Smoker made a judgment instantly. This kind of forbearing man is very dangerous!

"How do you know the Six Types of the Navy?" Smoker wanted to get some information, but unfortunately Li De would not answer.

"Sorry, I have asked three questions, and as a consulting fee, your weapon belongs to me. Remember not to be so reckless next time you hunt. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a natural ability user? If you meet someone who knows Haki, you will be like me teaching you a lesson in a minute.

It is understandable that you don't know Haki, after all, it is not easy to awaken Haki. But the development of fruit ability is completely wrong, which is a waste of this natural ability. Things like smoke should be developed in the direction of toxicity and harm. Black smoke is the most deadly. Have you never felt that the title of "White Hunter" is ironic?

Read more books when you have nothing to do. Even if you don't want to read, you should find a scientist like Caesar to ask about the direction of ability development. The East China Sea is still too comfortable. Except for Garp who occasionally returns to the Kingdom of Goa, you, the strongest navy, are only at this level. It is really disappointing. This place is really only suitable for retirement."

After listening to Li De, Smoker opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

I don't understand why Li De told him how to develop fruit abilities.

But Reed didn't give him time to think.

After a bang, Reed knocked Smoker unconscious with one punch.

"Sid, you seem to admire him?" Claire came over and asked.

"Well, I guess so. Although he has a bad temper, he is a nice person, but that's not the main reason." Reed lifted Smoker up and threw him back to the warship behind.

"Sid, what's the main reason?" Claire asked curiously.

"Leave a more friendly impression. Don't ask for now. After all, this casual layout may not be useful." Reed said with a smile.
