Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

After listening to Li De's introduction, Aokiji looked around.

"Ah, it's really enviable to be surrounded by beauties. You are indeed a noble!" Aokiji couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do you think so?" Li De asked Aokiji.

"Ah, although I don't like it, I have to deal with nobles from various countries. Your words and deeds are too consistent." Aokiji looked at Li De and said.

"It is rumored that the admiral Aokiji is lazy. I thought you were the kind of person who didn't want to deal with nobles." Li De smiled and replied.

"So now it is popular for nobles in the East China Sea to go out to sea to experience alternative life?" Aokiji continued to ask.

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?" Li De spread his hands and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Or is it too strong, so he went out to sea because he was bored. The nobles in my impression are not that strong!" Aokiji continued.

"You mean the Celestial Dragons' Knights of God are actually weaklings?" Reed asked back.

"Ah, you can't just say that. You should know that I'm referring to the nobles, not the world nobles." Aokiji said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"So there are still strong ones? Well, it's not that surprising if there are." Reed said lightly.

"Ah, I haven't come into contact with them. Let's change the subject." Aokiji said after looking at Reed deeply.

"So we're finally going to check the body of the Golden Lion." Reed said.

"Why can't they come to arrest you?" Aokiji asked Reed back.

"If that's the case, it's a headache for me. After all, I don't want to wait here for the next wave of navy to arrive." Reed said slowly.

"Ah, brother, you are very confident!" Aokiji raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

After all, what Reed meant by this was that he didn't care about the threat in his words at all.

"With the current high-end combat power of the navy, among the older generation of strong men, Sengoku has become a marshal. He can only travel between the navy headquarters and the holy land of Marijoa all year round and cannot move easily, so no matter how strong he is, there is no need to be afraid.

What really needs to be cared about is the navy hero, Garp, who once defeated Rocks in the West Sea God Valley with Roger. This old man is getting more and more powerful as he gets older. He should be the top physical warrior on the sea.

Among the older generation of strong men, except for him and the marshal Sengoku who cannot go out easily, the others are not worth worrying about. For example, the former admiral Zefa, and the chief of staff Crane, but the former has broken one hand and suffers from asthma, and his strength is not as good as before. The latter only needs to pay attention to the ability of the Washing Fruit.

As for the current three admirals, Kizaru, the old oiler, can be lazy and never work overtime. Although the devil fruit ability is tricky, the possibility of encountering it is very high. Very low. It's actually surprising that you, the weakest and lazy of the three admirals, are here, because in my opinion, the person who checks is at most a veteran vice admiral.

As for the last Akainu, he is a mad dog. In his eyes, only dead pirates are good pirates, so he is definitely not here to check with his warships, but the World Government has no intention of fulfilling its promise to give me the vacant spot of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Then again, although you are the weakest among the three admirals, you are at least a great admiral with no water, and your strength can be guaranteed. It's a pity that my devil fruit ability restrains you too much, so when I see you coming, I'm not afraid at all, because I am absolutely sure to keep you in the fight. "

After listening to Li De's words, Qing Ji's face was normal, but his eyes flickered several times.

After all, Li De's analysis of the combat power of the high-level navy is like knowing everything.

When Li De said that he was absolutely sure of victory, Qing Ji's eyes narrowed.

"Ah, brother, are you so sure that you can beat me?" Aokiji looked at Li De, and his aura began to rise.

"Hey, Aokiji, in a battle or war, what do you think is the key factor that affects the outcome?" Li De asked without paying any attention to Aokiji's rising aura.

"It should be intelligence!" Aokiji said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, it is intelligence. So now do you still think you have a chance of winning against me? I don't tell you everything, but I know at least 70% or 80% of your details, but you may not even know 20% of my details. If there is a huge gap in strength between us, then this intelligence is useless.

But when our strength is equal, knowing ourselves and the enemy can win every battle. Before you know my details, you have been calculated by me in the battle. And there is not only a gap in intelligence between us, but also a gap in the number of personnel. You underestimate my crew too much." Li De said in a serious tone.

"Ah, so that's how it is. No wonder you said I'm the weakest and lazy of the three admirals. Although it may be true, it sounds a bit harsh." Although Aokiji said this, he had no intention of taking action.

After all, he believed that his observation Haki would not deceive him. If he really fought, he might have no hope of winning.

"If you want to sound good, sleep less and practice more." Li De said with a pout.

Li De's words directly made Aokiji unable to continue the topic.

"As far as I know, there are no vacancies in the Seven Warlords of the Sea." Aokiji immediately changed the topic.

"If Boa Hancock is not dead, ask her to go out and rob. Isn't that what the Nine Snakes Pirates love to do the most? I don't know what kind of mentality Morgause had when he wrote the follow-up report published a year ago. Does he think the world is foolish, or does the person who ordered him to write this report think the world is foolish? Speaking of which, Gekko Moriah should not have been killed by the 'Peach Rabbit' admiral."

Hearing this, Aokiji, who was silent for a while, said: "Did you let Smoker go because of this moment?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I let him go easily and give him some advice?" Li De answered confidently, without any intention of covering up.

"What is your purpose in becoming a Shichibukai?" Aokiji asked again.

"For more freedom. Hiding your identity when going out to sea means that you can't use your identity to solve problems when you encounter them. And you can see that my women are all so outstanding. Sooner or later, they will cause trouble, so I guess it's only a matter of time before I'm rewarded, and I don't want to be hunted by the navy day and night. You see, isn't the Seven Warlords of the Sea the only choice?" Li De said with his hands spread out.

"If you don't want to be hunted by the navy, why didn't you join the navy in the first place?" He asked casually.

"If the World Government recruits soldiers and relaxes the restrictions on military ranks and only determines military ranks based on strength, then I will definitely participate, and I can at least get a vice admiral to play with. But I'm not interested in climbing up little by little according to the current promotion method of the navy, because I absolutely can't accept the rubbish that is weaker than me telling me what to do. So is there anything else you want to test or ask?"

Hearing this, Aokiji was silent again, and then finally got to the point: "Where is the body of the golden lion?"

"It's on the small boat at the stern, follow me!" Li De immediately took Aokiji to the stern to see.

"Ice freeze?!" When he reached the stern, Aokiji looked at the boat and found that the body of the golden lion was frozen.

"Just a little trick." Li De said with a chuckle.

Jumping onto the boat, Aokiji began to check the body of the golden lion through the thin ice.

"Didn't you do it?" Aokiji asked again after getting up.

"Aga, it seems that you accidentally got the information. Well, it doesn't matter. It's really not me or Beta. After all, if we do it, it's impossible not to leave traces of high temperature burns. In order to facilitate your identification, I deliberately let others do it." Li De admitted frankly.

"It seems that the difference in the number of people you just mentioned is indeed true." Aokiji looked at Li De deeply before continuing.

Li De smiled and said nothing, just with a touch of complacency.

"After the inspection, I'll leave first." Aokiji said and jumped directly from the boat to the sea.

The next second, the sea surface was frozen quickly and then the ice surface expanded rapidly.

"Ah, brother, I'm sorry, I wanted to build a small path, but I didn't control the strength well. I don't think you mind!" Aokiji said while standing on the ice.

"How is it possible! My dears, get ready to set sail." Li De smiled and pressed his hand on the side of the ship.

The next second, along with Li De's voice, the hot magic power spread along the mithril shell around the Pure White Knight, and the thick ice layer that froze the Pure White Knight melted in a breath.     Seeing this scene, Aokiji calmly put his hands in his pockets, walked a few steps to the place where the bicycle was placed before, and then rode the bicycle away in the direction he came from.

"Captain, Admiral Aokiji is finally gone!" Seeing the bicycle go away, Kalina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Who said that the atmosphere suddenly became tense a few seconds ago.

If a fight really breaks out, although Kalina believes that Reed will win, she cannot guarantee that she will not be implicated.

And this time, the opponent is Aokiji, one of the three admirals. He only used his ability to freeze the nearby sea surface.

The biting cold made her shiver even though she was wearing relatively cool clothes.

"Lina, you are just too timid! The ability of the boss is not to mention Aokiji, even if Akainu comes, he will be burned to death. There is no need to worry so much." Delta patted Kalina on the shoulder and smiled.

"I am just worried, after all, this is related to the purpose of the captain." Kalina whispered to defend.

"Cid, do you want to give Kalina a reliable support?" Claire looked at Reed and asked.

"My dear sister, although Aokiji did not take away the body of the golden lion, the matter of resurrecting the devil fruit has always been a matter of luck. Let me try it once and get the result first, what if the floating fruit does not regenerate nearby." Reed certainly knew what Claire meant.

After all, they have lived together for a while, and they have some affection for each other. Especially Kalina is sweet, so the girls like her more.

However, the girls also know that with her personality, it is impossible to sign a slave contract, so Claire hopes that Li De can leave some support for Kalina's survival in the future.

In this way, after they leave, Kalina's only son can live well, which is why Claire spoke to Li De.

"Well, I like Sid the most." Seeing Li De agreed, Claire smiled and rubbed Li De's cheek with her face.

"Then I'll try it now!" After saying that, Li De prepared for a while, and then teleported with the body of the golden lion to the white sea above Gaya Island.

On an island cloud, Li De first took out a few baskets of fruit, poured out the fruit and arranged them in a big circle.

Li De stood in the center of the big circle, and then used a little magic to melt the ice layer wrapped around the golden lion.

After removing the two famous swords Muku and Yingshi from his legs, he threw the two swords outside the circle.

Then Li De picked up the body of the golden lion.

The next second, as the temperature of Li De's hand soared, the body of the golden lion also shrank and carbonized rapidly under the high temperature.

After a few breaths, Li De threw the black charcoal in his hand far away to the downwind.

Then he took a few steps to the fruit that had been placed before.

At this moment, many fruits were actually dried out of moisture due to the high temperature emitted by Li De before.

But because of this, a still round fruit was unusually conspicuous.

Looking at the unique pattern, Li De couldn't help but sigh that he was so lucky!

Picking up the reborn floating fruit, holding the two famous swords, Li De immediately disappeared on the island cloud.

When he appeared again, Li De had returned to the Pure White Knight.

"Success!" Claire said happily when she saw the fruit in Reed's hand.

"Call Kalina over!" Reed nodded and said.

"Lina, come here, I have something to ask you!" Claire immediately called to Kalina who was adjusting the sail.

"Oh, I'll be right there!" After finishing her work, Kalina quickly ran to the bow.

"Captain, do you have something to do?" Kalina looked at Reed and asked.

"Due to the situation at the time, we didn't ask you to search for spoils during this crusade against the Golden Lion. The two swords of the Golden Lion are named Muku and Yingshi. It's up to you how to deal with them. The devil fruit in my hand is the Piao Piao Fruit in the Golden Lion's body. My sister asked me to take it out for you." Reed said.

"Captain, can the power of the devil fruit user be taken out?" Kalina was more curious about this than the Piao Piao Fruit.

After all, devil fruits are very valuable. If one can really find a way to extract the power of the fruit, it would mean an incredible fortune.

"I knew you would ask. Actually, it's not hard to find out if you pay attention. After the death of each generation of the host of the devil fruit, the fruit itself will be reborn somewhere in the world after a period of time. In other words, as long as the devil fruit ability is separated from the previous host, the conditions for rebirth are met.

So how can the devil fruit ability be separated from the host? After research, I found that the first condition to be met is that the host must die, and then the second condition is that the body becomes nothingness, so that the devil fruit ability has nothing to rely on, and it will naturally be reborn.

It's just that no one can change the randomness of rebirth. The only thing you can do is to fill the surrounding area with fruits and then see if your luck is good enough. If you are lucky, you can naturally get the devil fruit. If you are unlucky, you will work in vain. Do you understand now?"

After Li De finished speaking, Kalina nodded vigorously, and then said: "Captain, can you give me this Floating Fruit too?"

"As I said just now, this is because my sister asked me to do it, so I worked hard once. Although I got the Floating Fruit, I can only give it to you if one condition is met." Li De said slowly.

"Captain, what are the conditions?" Kalina's tone was not urgent at the moment.

"You must eat it yourself. As for selling it for money, forget it." Li De said after looking at Kalina.

"Is it that simple?" Kalina asked in disbelief.

"Lina, we will always be separated. I hope you can protect yourself after you leave." Claire explained the reason.

"Thank you, Sister Claire. Actually." Kalina could not continue after saying this because Li De stopped her from continuing.

"Kalina, don't go on. You know the price of joining my team. Since you don't want to, don't mention it again. Don't mind a devil fruit too much. After all, it is good for the team if you eat it." Li De shook his head and said.

"I know, Captain, please give me the floating fruit. Even if there is not much time left, I will do everything as well as possible." Kalina said immediately.

In fact, Kalina also hinted to the other girls about how to integrate into Li De's team.

Then she learned from the other girls that Li De's 'real' devil fruit ability is a superhuman contract fruit. If he wants to truly integrate into the team, he must sign the slave contract created by Li De's ability.

After getting this so-called 'truth', Kalina understood why the girls called Li De the master.

Just as Li De said, Kalina really couldn't do it, so Kalina changed the subject very simply.

After taking the floating fruit from Li De's hand, Kalina ate it directly without any hesitation.

Two days later, a letter was delivered to Li De by the government's special 'secretary bat'.

After opening the letter and reading the contents, Li De smiled.

The quota for the Seven Warlords of the Sea was finally obtained.
