One Piece Codex

Over the next two days, the town seemed to return to its usual calm.

[Luruta] It has been raining all the time, and it is summer. The feeling of being sticky with sweat all the time, and even breathing with moisture is really depressing.Fortunately, it was just a drizzle of rain, which did not have much impact on Levi's "hanging out" in the palace or instructing Lorna on shooting training.

Every time on the way between the garbage mountain and the palace, Li Wei would always buy some supplies.

As the saying goes, be prepared in advance, keep your troops stationary, and move your food and fodder first. There is nothing wrong with being fully prepared.

Since the eldest prince Girod has cooperated with the werewolf "Walker", it cannot be ruled out that the werewolves around him can be used as a fighting force.

Based on the experience of the last battle with the werewolf "Walker", the opponent does not seem to be afraid of the sun. It will definitely not work to use sunlight and high temperature to influence the werewolf's thinking.

This world also has a moon, but the distance between the new moon and the new moon is completely different from that on the earth, and the specific moonrise time is difficult to predict.However, there are dark clouds blocking these days, so whether the werewolf will gain strength due to the moonlight can be ignored.

After ruling out all the circumstances, Levi thought that the only way to weaken the werewolf was to use "silver".

Silver-plated bullets will definitely not work. The magazines of my two guns cannot be removed at all, and the bullets are completely converted by physical strength.

Loading a flintlock gun with silver bullets?

Oh God, stop being funny.

Do you really think that outsiders will be allowed to enter the palace with weapons?

Even with Williams on the screen, the most basic process still needs to be followed.

Lorna will use Levi's Colt pistol. After all, the Colt can be perfectly hidden in the wrist without being discovered by the guards.Even when Colt was being used by Lorna, control was always in Levi's hands.Not only can Levi control the power of bullets at will, he can also recall the pistol at any time to destroy the crime tool.

Therefore, the only thing Levi could think of was silver melee weapons.

A silver necklace and a spring ring with a small silver blade inside. These are what he found at the market.

According to the ring seller, the small blade inside seems to be mixed with a special mineral, which is why it is twice as expensive as the market price.

However, the advantage of the ring was that it had a compact mechanism and could be used as a talisman when put on the finger. In the end, Levi bought him without any counter-offer.

In the evening, Levi took Lorna to the night market in the city.

"No, here you go." Levi followed Lorna behind the necklace, "Remember to wear it these days."

Lorna hurriedly caught it and stared at the necklace in her hand for a long time.Hanging on the silver chain is a prism-shaped emerald crystal. The crystal is surrounded by silver, and the hollow part is carved into an exquisite rose.

[Give it, give it to me? 】

Women always like something sparkly, no matter their age.Lorna was naturally no exception, especially when she saw the faint brilliance of the crystal stones against the neon light, it was even harder for her to look away.

[Damn, he took me shopping again, and gave me such an expensive necklace. What, what does he want to do? 】

The streets are brightly lit with neon lights and busy with traffic.Lorna's head was dizzy, and she followed Levi step by step, for fear of losing Levi accidentally.

"Remember, if you encounter a werewolf, try to touch him with the necklace in your hand. It might work."

"What is a werewolf?" Lorna asked confused.

Levi was slightly startled, and then thought that when Walker chased him in the garbage mountain last time, Lorna and himself had climbed into the tunnel. Lorna had not seen Walker after his transformation, so he explained:

"It's a creature that can switch between wolf and human forms at will. As far as I know, that kind of extremely aggressive creature is likely to be afraid of silver products."

Lorna nodded suddenly.She had never seen the werewolf mentioned by Levi, but this did not prevent her from believing that Levi was well-informed, but she did not expect that the necklace could have other uses.

Thinking this, she held the necklace tighter.

Under Li Wei's guidance, the two quickly arrived at the entrance of a clothing store.

Levi walked in first, but Lorna stopped at the door.

"What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"

Looking at Lorna standing outside the door with her head lowered and twirling her fingers, Levi asked doubtfully.

"Levi, actually the necklace is enough."

"what?"

"Even if I'm a friend, I can't always let you take care of me. If you want to give me a gift, a necklace is already very valuable, and I like it very much." Lorna said seriously.

After saying that, she lowered her head.

Hmm...it seems like your face is still a little red?

Lorna would feel like she was taking advantage of a stranger's ill-gotten gains, but if it was a gift from a "friend"...

"What do you think?"

Levi appropriately showed an expression of anger and laughter, and knocked Lorna on the head.

"To implement the plan, we must enter the palace. I came here to buy you some decent clothes. If you enter the palace wearing this, you will definitely attract some unnecessary attention."

"Ah, oh."

Lorna shrank her neck, lowered her head and glanced at her body.The clothes are still Levi's sportswear, which is really inappropriate.

[It turns out it’s because of planning needs. 】

[It’s really strange, I obviously don’t need to owe more, why, I said a little disappointed...]

Levi looked at Lorna and said nothing. He did not urge him, but waited for a moment before breaking the quiet atmosphere and said:

"Listen Rona, don't save money for me later, just buy a few sets that you like. Buy whatever you want within 1000 million beli, buy a few more sets to be prepared."

"One, 1000 million?!"

Lorna's eyes widened and she swallowed hard.She had never seen so much money in her life, and the most she could get was a thousand beli in exchange for the jewelry she found last month.

In fact, Levi's statement of 1000 million is conservative.

He didn't spend much of the pocket money Nanako gave him.

Moreover, almost every time Mads came back, he would bring some jewelry to Nanako as a "little farewell" gift.Nanako of the Gu family often gave Levi her old useless jewelry and asked him to pawn it in a pawn shop, and the money in exchange naturally became Levi's pocket money.

How many do you have to say?

Well... not a lot, but 3000 million is still there.

This clothing store is owned by a baroness. It is elegantly decorated. There is a formal violinist playing "Moonlight" in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Various suits and gowns are neatly hung on the shelves. Overall, it gives a sense of A wonderful feeling of elegance yet solemnity.

Lorna didn't know how many outfits were tried on by Rivera. Her mind was empty and she didn't even have time to appreciate herself in the mirror. When she came to her senses, she realized that there were already several more bags in her hands.

"Enough, enough, Levi, so many clothes are enough."

She grabbed the corner of Levi's clothes and said weakly.

"No, there is another set that I must buy."

Not long after, at Levi's request, the clerk brought a women's corset dress and a maroon wig.

The clothing stores of the nobles are not as simple as the small shops on the street that only buy clothes.This shop operates private customization, not only wigs, but also hairdressing services and even professional dressing guidance.It has to be said that you get what you pay for, and there is always a reason for luxury.

"??!"

[Why women’s clothing? ! 】

Lorna was shocked. This sudden feeling felt like the little secret she had been hiding in her heart was about to be exposed.

But she calmed down quickly. Li Weike never asked her if she was a boy or a girl. It was not her fault that she was treated as a boy.

However, it is still good to explain.

"Levi, actually I——"

Levi: "Sorry, Rona, I may have to humiliate you and dress up as a girl before entering the palace."

"Huh?" Lorna blinked, "Why?"

Looking at Lorna apologetically, Levi lowered his voice and explained:

"I will let you pretend to be my deaconess to enter the palace, and you will change back into men's clothes during the operation. This is a selfish proposal, because if my identity is exposed, many people will be implicated."

If Levi is exposed, his father, mother, and Uncle Williams will be implicated to a certain extent.Therefore, people cannot recognize that Lorna was brought into the palace by Levi.

quiet……

"It's okay, let me try it." Lorna smiled and pointed at the clothes and wig.

For some reason, she felt happy.

As for the reason?

God, maybe she felt that Levi was telling her the truth.

How strange that anyone would be happy for someone else to tell the cruel truth?

Levi watched quietly as Lorna held the clothes, walked into the fitting room, and then walked out.

It was a girl I had never seen before.The two shallow dimples seemed to contain a room of tranquility and beauty. The neat butler's outfit and the eyebrows that always exuded heroic spirit added a bit of a girl's unique temperament.Beautiful and clean, yet wild, like a budding rose.

"How is it?" Lorna turned around.

Seeing the bright smile blooming in front of his eyes, Levi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Rona, forgive me for being rude. I really didn't mean to insult you. You are truly the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"Pfft hahaha..."

After holding it in for a long time, Levi finally couldn't help but laugh while holding his stomach.What he didn't notice was that Lorna's face behind him was blushing...
