From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

In order to avoid possible pursuit, Princess Lit decided to head towards the Grand Line.

I heard that it is a gathering place for strong people. I believe that I can find the strength I need there and achieve my goal of restoring my country.

At the same time, a group of pirates were heading towards Upside Down Mountain.

Xia Jieren simply took a quick look at the rebellion in the Kingdom of the Netherlands reported in the news and no longer cared about it.

Because there is more important news.

At noon today, the fungal blanket encountered serious obstacles during its expansion. A thick wall appeared in its direction of advance. After careful investigation, it was found that the fungal blanket had expanded to the red soil continent.

“I didn’t expect the red soil continent to be so hard and thick.”

"No wonder the World Government doesn't just make a hole in the Red Earth Continent to make it easier for ships to enter and exit."

Xia Jieren said with emotion:

Of course, a world government might be able to do it, but it is not necessary.

After all, curbing the civilization process of all countries in the world is beneficial to the world government. If a waterway is opened on the Red Earth Continent, wouldn't it facilitate exchanges among countries around the world?

Now, on average, for every one thousand meters of forward expansion, the energy consumed is more than ten times that of the past.

"Kerrigan, let's stop the fungal blanket from expanding eastward for now," Xia Jieren ordered.

Then he sighed heavily: "Oh, I didn't expect to be so unlucky. The fungal blanket has expanded for more than 1 kilometers, but I haven't encountered an island."

"Time is destiny!"

The fungal mat temporarily stopped its eastward expansion and began to expand outward every 100 kilometers based on the eastward main trunk, and then connected to each other, eventually forming an impenetrable network structure.

Xia Jieren is now fully capable of supporting the energy consumption required for the expansion of the fungal blanket.

In the past, the Devourers could only bully marine animals the size of sharks, or eat some motionless marine plants such as seaweed. If they encountered marine overlords such as sea kings or other large marine animals, they could only wait for death.

But now it’s different. With sufficient computing power, Kerrigan has made a major upgrade to the virus in the Zerg.

Normally, the viruses that coexist with the Zerg will not cause any harm to the host's body and will only remain dormant. However, once the flesh and blood of the Zerg are swallowed by other animals, these viruses will immediately reproduce rapidly, causing great harm to the new host until the animal dies.

At first, Xia Jieren was very worried that this method would cause biological extinction. Kerrigan had also thought about this problem and had already made adequate preparations.

Viruses in organisms other than Zerg have many limitations. For example, if the organism dies, the virus will die as well. Also, once the virus leaves the organism, it will quickly die.

In a nutshell, you can eat my Zerg, but you must be prepared to die.

Relying on this method, the Devourer killed a lot of small sea kings, which made Xia Jieren a little more financially secure.

With 3 energy points or hundreds of millions of energy, it's worth it no matter how you think about it.

Xia Jieren still felt a little distressed about this.

In order to reduce the losses in this area, under the instruction of Xia Jieren, Kerrigan deduced another kind of insect - the bait insect.

[Army: Bait Worm]

【Energy: 200】

[Introduction: It looks white and plump, very similar to silkworms. It contains a large number of dormant viruses in its body, and can secrete different body fluids or aromas to lure different creatures according to their preferences.]

With this method, Xia Jieren killed many small sea kings.

It’s a pity that medium-sized and larger sea kings can no longer be killed in this way. Their immune systems are too strong and can kill all specially made viruses in a short period of time.

The body length of medium-sized sea kings is between one hundred and five hundred meters. Xia Jieren has only seen them a few times, but that does not stop him from being greedy for their bodies.

Just as Xia Jieren was thinking about whether to expand the scale of the Devourer, Kerrigan jumped out and said, "Master Overlord, we have detected two ships, one large and one small, passing by at a distance of about 369 kilometers from Yanhuang Island."

Hearing this, Xia Jieren suddenly shuddered: "Quick, get the scouts, flying dragons, and insect men over there."

"This is a good opportunity for us to learn more about this world."

The more he talked, the more excited Xia Jieren became. At the same time, he also complained in his heart: "That guy Oda, couldn't he be more serious when drawing comics? The information he showed is really too little."

"As expected, Oda is just a man who draws comics. He knows nothing about the world of pirates."

At this time, Xia Jieren was very glad that he had asked Kerrigan to optimize the dragons, scouts and other arms during his free time. At the current speed of the dragons, it would only take about an hour and twenty minutes to arrive, and the scout eagle might be a little slower.

After arranging everything, Xia Jieren still paced back and forth somewhat excitedly.

"Let's suspend today's training and make it up when we have time." Xia Jieren returned to the balcony and lay on the recliner, rubbing the heads of the two Silver Moon Wolfs with his hands.

After rubbing for a while, Xia Jieren felt his stomach a little heavy. Looking at the Silver Moon Wolf, which was already the size of an adult Corgi, he silently put it on the ground and let it roam around.

"By the way, I don't know if it's because the oxygen concentration in this world is very high, the creatures here are generally very large and grow very fast." Xia Jieren rubbed his belly and thought to himself.

At this moment, a chase was taking place on the sea more than 300 kilometers away.

The cause of the incident was simple. Captain Pound of the Langya Pirates was heading towards Upside Down Mountain. He hoped to enter the Grand Line, punch the Navy Headquarters, kick other pirates, and become the new Pirate King.

He happened to meet the exiled princess Nedland Litte and her housekeeper, who were resting due to fatigue from traveling all night.

The bloodthirsty Wolf Fang Pound, in a friendly manner (not at all), drove his boat closer to their ship, intending to invite them to go aboard.

But when Princess Litte saw the pirate flag hanging high on the mast, she dared not accept their kindness, so she ran away without looking back.

Captain Pound had never suffered such an injustice before, so he began to shout to his men and drove the boat to chase after them.

Under normal circumstances, the speed of the brig would not be able to catch up with the clipper that Princess Litt and her crew were on.

However, Princess Litte and the old butler only knew some superficial knowledge of navigation and were no match for the professional navigators on the Wolf Fang Pirates' ship.

This results in the two ships having roughly the same speed.

During this period, probably because they saw that there were only two people on the ship ahead, the members of the Wolf Fang Pirates all showed ferocious smiles, and occasionally fired a cannonball to mess with their mentality.

Normal pirates seem to like this tune. Watching their prey flee in panic always brings them happiness.
