Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

As soon as they dived under the sea, the unique scenery came into everyone's sight.

The sunlight shone through the sea water onto the bubble layer protecting the pure white knight, and it instantly glowed with colorful lights, making the scene like a dream.

And the biggest difference from the submarine is that the coated ship has a panoramic skylight, which brings all the scenery that cannot be described without experiencing it in person into everyone's sight.

"It's incredible, this scenery is so magical!" Beta, a girl from the Department of Literature, felt itchy in her head at this moment, as if something was about to burst out.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never feel this kind of dream that is difficult to describe in words." Ipsilon, who was standing by the side of the ship, nodded in agreement.

"Sid, look, the bubbles are showing a colorful luster, like a scene in a dream, it's so beautiful." Claire took Li De's hand at this moment, pointing everywhere excitedly.

"I originally thought that the magnificent view hanging ten thousand meters above the sky was different from the human world, but I didn't expect that the dream under the sea was not inferior, which was worthy of the master's choice." Victoria clasped her hands tightly and showed a praying posture.

"The adventure in this world is really interesting, and too many unknowns make people excited." Compared with other people who were shocked by the beautiful scenery at the moment, Zeta was more concerned about what kind of unknown adventure was waiting for her.

"Boss, there is a big sea beast behind the mangrove roots, can we hunt it?" Although Delta was also appreciating the beautiful scenery at the moment, she instinctively looked for prey after being shocked.

"Sister Delta, we don't need sea beasts to pull the boat, so don't do it!" Kalina hurriedly dissuaded at this moment.

"Delta, try to do as little as possible." Li De also said.

"Okay, boss, I know." Delta was not disappointed after hearing this.

At this moment, she had just dived under the sea surface. After entering the deep sea, she would definitely have a chance to make a move, because she was the only one on the ship who could fight outside the Pure White Knight. Who told everyone else to become a capable person now?

As the Pure White Knight continued to sink, the dreamy scenery she had seen before soon disappeared from sight.

When the light gradually disappeared, the surroundings became dark.

Not only that, after the sinking depth exceeded a thousand meters, the surrounding temperature also dropped a lot.

White mist could be seen between breaths, indicating that the Pure White Knight was close to the bottom of the surface current.

At this moment, Li De could actually use a little magic power, so that the temperature in the bubble layer could quickly rise.

But Li De did not do so. After all, he did not know whether the abnormal temperature would attract attacks from deep-sea beasts and sea kings after warming up the Pure White Knight.

Another point is that no matter how low the temperature of the deep sea is, it is unlikely to be below zero degrees, and the temperature of zero degrees has almost no effect on Li De and even the other women.

Even Kalina only put on a coat of moderate thickness at this moment.

"Captain, sisters, please pay attention next, we are going to take the descending current from the surface to the deep."

At a certain time, with the sound of Kalina's voice, Li De and others found that the current outside the ship had become faster at some point.

Li De listened carefully and heard the rumbling sound coming from a distance. Then Li De brought the girls to the bow.

"This scenery is simply too spectacular!" Beta was shocked beyond words at this moment.

"It's really incredible!" Ipsilon's eyes widened a lot.

"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!" Victoria couldn't help but say at this moment.

"Is this the descending sea water current?! It's really exciting!" Zeta's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's like a huge waterfall in the sea!" Claire couldn't help shaking as she held Li De's hand.

"Sure enough, just hearing about it can't feel such a shock at all." Kalina, who was at the helm, couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this the power of nature? I really want to feel this suffocating pressure!" Delta was the only one among the girls who thought differently.

"The more spectacular, the more dangerous!" Reed was shocked but said something that spoiled the mood.

"Captain and sisters, we are about to enter the current. I am going to retract the sail. Please find a place to hold on!" Kalina shouted.

Following Kalina's words, Reed and the girls immediately found the nearest fixed objects and held on tightly.

After a few breaths, when the Pure White Knight officially caught the descending current, the speed of the ship instantly soared.

The strong current not only gave the Pure White Knight a strong speed, but also exerted additional force.

If Kalina had not obtained the ability of the Float-Float Fruit and could control any part of the ship, it would not be easy to keep the Pure White Knight in the center of the current.

You have to know that the two sides of the ocean current are the rock walls of the continental shelf. Once it hits, although the hull of the Pure White Knight, which is a hundred times stronger, will not be damaged, the bubble layer is not that strong.

In fact, at this moment, Reed is ready to teleport at any time.

After all, although Reed, Claire and Delta can get lucky if the bubble layer is punctured, the other women will not be lucky.

Fortunately, Karina's skills are really powerful, allowing the Pure White Knight to stay in the center of the ocean current.

In less than a minute, the Pure White Knight broke away from the descending ocean current and arrived at the deep sea area of ​​7,000 meters.

"Boss, there are a lot of powerful auras around!" Delta showed an excited look on his face at this moment.

"If they don't attack, ignore them!" Li De immediately shook his head. In the deep sea, stability is still the main thing.

What Delta can feel, he can't feel it.

It is precisely because he can feel it that he doesn't want to get involved.

After all, the size of fish in the deep sea of ​​One Piece is very exaggerated. The body length of the smaller fish nearby is more than 200 meters.

The larger ones can even swallow the entire Pure White Knight in one mouth.

"Lina, speed up and leave this sea area!" Claire said to Karina immediately.

"Sister Claire, I know!" Karina nodded quickly.

After all, she has never seen the serious expression on Claire's face.

It is because it has never been seen that it means it is serious.

That is, Kalina has not awakened her domineering and mastered the observation Haki, otherwise, without Claire's reminder, Kalina would have probably controlled the Pure White Knight to slip away quickly.

Why do veterans who travel to and from Fishman Island like to use sea beasts to pull boats? The reason is that after entering the deep sea, one is that the speed of the sea current slows down. If you only rely on the speed of the sea current to drive the hull forward, it will be abnormally slow.

With the width of the Red Earth Continent, even if it is the narrowest holy place, it will take a considerable time to reach Fishman Island located in the center of the bottom if you only rely on the sea current as a power source.

In this way, there may be a situation where there is not enough air, resulting in almost no tolerance.

But with a sea beast pulling the boat, the speed is countless times faster than relying on the current, thereby increasing the tolerance in disguise.

Another reason is that sea beasts are much more sensitive than people in the deep sea. Once they sense danger, they will run away regardless of everything.

Therefore, all veterans like to find sea beasts before sailing, beat them up and train them, and then set off for Fishman Island, instead of catching the manatee Mumu to act as a laborer to pull the boat like the Caribou brothers.

Of course, with the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, Li De naturally does not need sea beasts to pull the boat.

As for sensing the danger on the seabed, there are seven people on the ship who are constantly scanning the situation around the ship with their observation Haki.

After moving quickly along the defense line of the sea current for about an hour, after Delta drove away the sea beasts twice, everyone felt the rapidly rising temperature.

Then a stream of thick smoke accompanied by a red light emitting heat energy appeared in everyone's sight.

"Captain, we have entered the hydrothermal deposit area, and I have to speed up again." Kalina shouted immediately after taking off the clothes on the ship before.

After all, this is a frequent submarine volcanic area. Once the volcano erupts, it is not a joke.

"Then speed up!" Li De replied immediately.

After all, the eruption of the submarine volcano in the anime is quite scary.

After passing the submarine volcano area without any danger, a deep and narrow trench finally appeared.

After going down along the trench diagonally and crossing a distance of more than 1,000 meters, the first glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of Li De and others.

"Is there light?!"

"In this nearly 10,000-meter deep sea abyss?"

"It's unbelievable!"

"Is it a trap set by the anglerfish?"

"No, the anglerfish only has a ball of light, and this illuminates the entire trench!"

"It looks like Fishman Island is coming soon!"

"Look ahead, we have reached the exit of the trench."

Following the voices of the crowd, the Pure White Knight finally arrived at the exit of the trench.

What caught my eye was the white fine sand, and countless fish and sea beasts were swimming around leisurely at this moment.     In the distance, two islands, one large and one small, covered by huge bubbles, were bathing in the soft sunlight.

Finally, we arrived at Fishman Island.

"Hey, Sid, are you dreaming? Why is there sunlight under the sea?" Claire asked Reed excitedly.

"This sunlight is from the top of the Red Earth Continent. After the Sun Tree Eve receives sunlight, it is emitted through the roots." Reed answered according to the knowledge of the pirate world.

"Incredible trees!"

"Incredible scenery!"

"Incredible adventure!"

"Yes, everything is so incredible."

"Lina, slow down and give the other party some reaction time."

"Yes, Captain!"

Amid the discussion, the Pure White Knight slowly approached the border entrance of Fishman Island.

"Hey, another pirate ship has arrived."

"Yeah, trouble is coming again!"

"No, look at that mark!"

"No way, how could such a big shot come here?!"

"Even if you want to enter the new world, shouldn't you go through the holy land?"

"Hurry up and inform His Majesty Neptune!"

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, 'Masked Rider' Cid, led his Masked Pirates to enter Fishman Island."

An hour later, the Pure White Knight officially passed the entrance of Fishman Island.

After the bubble layer was detached, the ship naturally followed the sea water to the port.

"Welcome, Lord Sid, the 'Masked Rider' of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I am Neptune of the Kingdom of Ryugu." Before landing, a huge half-man, half-fish appeared in the sight of Reed and others.

"It is an honor to have you greet me in person, King Neptune!" Reed came to the bow and answered Neptune, who was more than 12 meters tall.

"Lord Sid, you are too polite." Neptune did not expect Reed's answer to be so aristocratic.

"This is the etiquette that should be followed. Please don't mind, King Neptune. After all, I didn't notify you in advance, so I am visiting you presumptuously." Reed said slowly.

"No, no, Lord Sid's presence has already made Fishman Island glorious. Next, please follow me to Ryugu City so that I can welcome you." Although Neptune is big, he is not rough.

"Then I will obey your order." Reed replied with a smile.

After all, Ryugu Castle is also one of Reed's sightseeing spots, so it would be great if Neptune could invite him.

A few days later, after touring Fishman Island and tasting the sweets and snacks that BIGMOM couldn't forget, Reed and his party set out on their journey again.

Although the underwater scenery is also unique, Fishman Island is not as fresh as Angel Island, not to mention the other things.

Therefore, after touring, there is no need to stay.

After re-coating the Pure White Knight and tying the super floating wood to the bow, this magical wood pulled the Pure White Knights all the way to the sea surface.

After completing the thrilling journey and resurfacing, the Pure White Knight sailed forward slowly.

"Cid, where are we going next?" Claire asked.

"I'm going to Dressrosa alone." Reed answered in an inexplicable voice.

"Going alone?" Claire asked.

"Well, don't let the outside world know that I'm gone. I'll be back after I finish my business." After Reed told Claire, he used teleportation magic to go directly to Dressrosa.

After arriving in Dressrosa, Reed was not in a hurry to make trouble, and his main purpose of coming this time was not to make trouble.

After wandering around the Dressrosa Palace for two days, Reed finally waited for the opportunity he wanted.

Then Reed met a beautiful woman holding a cigarette alone at a certain distance from the Dressrosa Palace.

"Beautiful lady, can you listen to my request?" Reed walked up and said to Baby-5, who was dressed in a maid outfit.

"Am I needed?" Baby-5 couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I really need you to sign this contract." Reed immediately took out a slave contract.

"This contract is." Baby-5 immediately felt the content of the slave contract.

"I need you to sign the contract!" Reed said again firmly.

"Okay, I'll sign!" Baby-5 signed the slave contract that Reed brought out without any hesitation.

The whole process was simple and there were no twists and turns, although Baby-5 rejected it in her heart when she saw the slave contract for the first time.

But when Reed spoke again, Baby-5's strange personality distorted her heart, otherwise Baby-5 would not have signed this contract anyway.

In fact, when Reed first came to the pirate world to perform a mission, he wanted to try Baby-5.

After all, in the entire pirate world, I'm afraid only her personality has the meaning of trying.

The reason why he didn't find Baby-5 last time was mainly because Reed's demand for slaves was very low at that time.

Although it is still very low now, Doflamingo has provoked him, otherwise Reed might not come to Baby-5 to try.

"Go back as if nothing happened. Otherwise, everything remains the same. Don't let others see any flaws. I will come to pick you up when the opportunity is right." After signing the contract, Reed said to Baby-5.

"Understood, my master!" Baby-5 passed Reed and returned to the palace.

As for Reed, he returned to the Pure White Knight through teleportation magic.

He did not leave with Baby-5, because Reed planned to take her with him when he left this world.

But before that, if he wanted her to get on board, there would definitely be some unnecessary conflicts with Doflamingo.

In addition, Reed planned to use the Don Quixote family members to teach Baby-5 a lesson.

Of course, these things should be put aside for the end. As for now, we can wait while traveling.

However, Reed did not follow the record pointer all the way forward, but relied on the life card he got from the World Government to find the Golden Emperor's ship.

Reed was quite regretful that he did not come to the largest entertainment city in the pirate world, Gran Tezoro, to play last time.

Because the conditions at that time did not allow it, not only did he have to adapt to his new body, but he also had to learn swordsmanship, so time really could not be wasted.

But this time he had plenty of time, so he naturally could not miss it.

Gild Tezoro did not do anything strange about Reed's arrival.

Because the gold powder in his channel could not fall on the Pure White Knight at all, let alone be sucked into someone's body.

This alone made Gild Tesoro a little wary of Reed, not to mention that Reed was also holding the title of Shichibukai, which made him have no reason to take the initiative.

So Reed and others had a lot of fun on Gran Tesoro.

But this happy time was a bit short. In less than half a month, Reed received a compulsory conscription order from the World Government.

That's right, after Teach made clear the goal, it took less than 20 days to capture Ace alive and sent him to the Navy Headquarters.

Sengoku also received the decision of the Five Elders to publicly execute Ace. In this way, the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates will inevitably go to war.

Of course, this news will not be made public yet, after all, it takes time for the Navy to draw forces from the four seas.

"Sir Cid, we will send a warship to greet you next!" The staff responsible for notification on the other side of the Den Den Mushi said to Reed after confirming Reed's location.

"No, I'm not used to riding on a warship, and I still have plenty of time, so I'll just go back to the Sabaody Archipelago by myself." Li De directly rejected the request for a pick-up.

"Then please arrive as soon as possible." The staff did not force Li De to pick up, but emphasized.

"Okay, I will arrive at the Red Harbor three days before the time published in the newspaper." Li De said and hung up the phone.
