The days when I wanted to be a human being

"Lao Ke, I'm glad you didn't agree to cooperate with them, but I'm not happy that you came to me just for this matter."

"Do I usually give you the impression that I'm too easy to talk to?"

Zhou Ling floated in front of the cage and looked at several people in the cage who looked like pirates but whose real identities were unknown.

"You hid it from me and did so many things. I won't be giving you the supplements you promised me. Just practice on your own."

She had thought that she could just talk nicely to Crocodile to stop causing trouble, but she didn't expect that Crocodile would think she was easy to talk to.

When I came here today, I originally wanted to give him a good beating, but after thinking it over I decided not to.

She had a feeling that her mental power was about to be upgraded, which might be related to the fact that she had been using her mental power more frequently in recent times.

"If you have nothing to do, try not to bother me. If you have any ideas, go and be the object of sacrifice yourself. Don't use me as a shield."

Hearing that Zhou Ling no longer planned to give him the little yellow pill, Crocodile stood up anxiously. He opened his mouth hastily to say something, but Zhou Ling spoke it first.

"I have something to do recently and I have to go on a long trip. You'd better not disrupt the greening operation. I can keep an eye on it."

Zhou Ling was too lazy to come up with a complicated plan to intimidate Crocodile so that he would not disrupt the greening operation.

Because a breakthrough may take some time, many things can only be left to the clone.

In order to maintain rainfall, the clone cannot use its abilities as freely as the original body.

So Zhou Ling wanted to let Crocodile know that he could decide what to do in the future and she would not interfere, but he should not go too far.

Before leaving, Zhou Ling felt that he had to give Crocodile a warning.

So he pinched a handful of yellow pills and threw them at Crocodile.

"Shhhhhh!"

Several small yellow pills attacked Crocodile at an incredibly fast speed.

Crocodile knew that he couldn't dodge with his dodging speed, and just as he was about to transform into an element to dodge, he suddenly felt a pain in his head.

"Puff puff!"

The small yellow pill pierced through Crocodile's body, leaving several horrific wounds on his body.

"Well!"

Crocodile's face looked a little hideous due to the severe pain, and he stared at Zhou Ling's face closely.

"Damn... woman... cough!"

Looking at Crocodile coughing up blood and half-kneeling on the ground, Zhou Ling left the building filled with the smell of money after saying a few words slowly.

"Don't let me down, Lao Ke."

Crocodile gritted his teeth, endured the dull pain in his head, turned around and looked at the wall behind him.

Several small yellow pills stained with a little blood were embedded in the wall, creating a chaotic pattern.

Crocodile didn't pick up the pill, he decided to leave it there.

He sat down weakly on the sofa and shook his head to get rid of the lingering red eye in his mind, but found that it was of no use and made his head hurt even more.

He laughed helplessly.

Laughing louder and louder.

The laughter made the people in the cage hug each other tightly in fear.

...

After leaving Crocodile's residence and returning to the palace.

Zhou Ling sat on the rocking chair and continued to rock.

It took Zhou Ling a long time to gain some experience in the application of mental power.

But it can only play a role of mental deterrence. As for the move that briefly controlled Crocodile just now, it was just a simple attack on his brain with mental power.

It's not the domineering aura.

Conqueror's Haki is so rare, and she couldn't find anyone to study it, so she could only figure it out on her own.

She had discussed this with Roger and others before, but didn't find the trick.

I have used my mental power quite frequently in recent years and have finally understood some of its uses.

For example, leaving her impression in other people's minds to have a deterrent effect.

She had just tried it on Crocodile, and the effectiveness would only be verified by his behavior later.

Now you have to prepare for the next promotion.

Zhou Ling returned to the East China Sea. His clone was still fishing out of boredom at the harbor, while Ace and the other two were still being beaten by another clone.

"Oh! Another godmother!"

After Luffy got up from the ground after being knocked away, he looked left and right, and found the third Zhou Ling, and exclaimed.

"Ace, look, there's another godmother. She's going to get beaten even more now."

Zhou Ling quickly asked her clone to pull Luffy back. She had a feeling that it might take a long time to break through.

In order not to worry Makino and others, I should tell her first.

"Makino, I won't be back for a long time, don't wait for me."

Zhou Ling looked around and it seemed that Lu Jiu didn't come to the tavern today.

Makino was wiping the tables and chairs. He was a little uncomfortable seeing Zhou Ling come in suddenly. After all, Zhou Ling would fish until noon before coming in.

"What's wrong? Do you need help?"

"Don't worry, it might just take a little longer. If you have any questions, you can tell the fisherman and I'll let him know."

Almost everyone in Windmill Village knew about the clone. The fishing clone was called Fisherman because she only focused on fishing. If it was not an important matter, Fisherman would not pay any attention to it.

The reason for doing this is to reduce consumption. After all, the journey is a bit far for the main body to supply the clone.

If you can save as much as you can, then save as much as you can.

"Don't you really need help?" When Makino heard that Zhou Ling had something to do, he looked at Zhou Ling with a worried look.

Zhou Ling felt a little embarrassed when being stared at, "Remember to tell Lu Jiu and Garp."

After she said that, she left the pub directly.

"Really?" Makino asked again worriedly.

"Need not."

Zhou Lingpiao arrived at the scene of the fight and stopped the one-sided fight.

"Listen, you three. I will not be here for a long time. After that, you three will train on your own. Don't be lazy."

"Ah? Why?" Luffy was very excited when he heard that he would not be beaten.

"Luffy, don't be too happy too soon." Ace patted the dust off his clothes and said in a low voice.

Zhou Ling would give them surprises from time to time, like a day's flight in the sky or a day's tour in the deep sea, which was so exciting.

Once they were even used as bait to attract sea kings.

If the three of them hadn't been accustomed to such exciting things, they would have been scared to death.

But after they told Karp, Karp didn't blame Zhou Ling. Instead, he was so happy that he kept saying that it was not exciting enough.

"Ace, don't say that. After all, godmother is doing this for our own good."

Sabo felt that he had become stronger after this period of training.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you're going to get beaten up, go find the school bully. If the school bully is gone, don't bother the fisherman. She has more important things to do."

The clone that beat up Luffy and his two companions was codenamed "School Bully" by Zhou Ling.

The school bully only trained Luffy and the other two, and didn't care about other matters unless they were important.

"Godmother, what fun thing are you going to do? Can you take me with you?" Luffy was very curious. He rubbed his swollen face and asked directly.

"…You better work harder, or I'll beat your ass to pieces."

"what?"

After Zhou Ling finished speaking, she took out a few small boxes and handed them to the school bully. There were two kinds of small pills, green and yellow, in them. They should be enough for them to use for a while.

Then he came to the fisherman and took out the Cangfeng.

"Take the knife. If you encounter an emergency while I'm away, you can use it, but..."

Zhou Ling turned around and saw the three little ones looking at her, and glared at them back.

"However, you have more important things to do. Leave the three little ones to the school bully. Remember your main task."

"Please use it sparingly when I'm not around."

"Ah."

He nodded to Makino who was standing in the tavern, and jumped into the water.
