Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

At one point, several of the Five Elders began to fold up the bracelets in their hands, making bursts of rustling, pleasant and crisp sounds, as if they felt that pirates were not completely useless.

The God of Law narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and said with a smile:

"Xingchen, is this what you brought back from Wano Country?"

"Yes, sir. I originally wanted to cut off Kaido's dragon horn and carve bracelets for you.

In the end, because of the adults' requests, I had to settle for the next best thing."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders paused, opened their eyes, and exchanged glances with each other.

We have been partners for many years, and I immediately understood the meaning in everyone's eyes.

"It seems that Wano Country is not that important anymore!"

"Indeed, after all these years, I don't even know if Pluto can still be used!"

"Suddenly I don't want balance anymore. I really hope the navy can conquer the second half of the Grand Line."

"Kaido, damn it!"

“For the figures!!!”

The last one was obviously the God of Law and Martial Arts in charge. The other four people clenched their fists and put them to their mouths and coughed a few times, signaling to calm down.

The God of Finance saw that there was still a large gift box that had not been opened, so he quickly changed the subject to prevent those old guys from thinking about it any further and then just ignore it.

“Ahem, Xingchen, you are so thoughtful, let Kaido keep his horn for now, and we can talk about it later when there is a chance.

What's in this box of yours?"

As the God of Finance started talking, the other four Five Elders also looked over curiously.

...

...

Mo Xingchen didn't keep the secret this time. While opening the gift box, he explained to the Five Elders:

"Sir, this thing is incredible! It is said that this is a game that shocked the world and moved the gods and ghosts to tears, invented by a legendary sage in my hometown.

Whether it is authentic or not, it is impossible to verify due to the long time. "

As he spoke, he unwrapped the package, revealing the true appearance of the gift inside: a small wooden table with neatly carved lines on it, and two small boxes filled with many black and white pebbles.

Mo Xingchen pointed at the small wooden table and continued to explain:

"Sir, this is called a chessboard. Don't underestimate it because it has 19 vertical and horizontal lines, which contain everything in the world."

Then Mo Xingchen grabbed a handful of chess pieces in one hand and put them on the chessboard while saying:

“For example, we can compare the chessboard to a battlefield, and the black and white chess pieces to the soldiers of the two armies. Then we can feel the fierce fighting between thousands of troops in this small space.

Whether it is encirclement, blocking, or layout, you can fully experience the chess players' talent in planning and controlling each soldier. This is not only a game, but also a stage for wisdom. Every competition is a collision of the chess players' souls and skills.

After careful planning, he found the opponent's weakness... and then killed him with one strike.

Achieve five stars in a row!!!"

As Mo Xingchen's last chess piece fell, the five black chess pieces on the chessboard formed a line.

The Five Elders were stunned by Mo Xingchen's trick, their eyes fixed on the glittering chessboard.

At this time, Mo Xingchen added fuel to the fire, drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then said:

"My Lord, imagine for a moment that you and your friends are sitting in this office that symbolizes the pinnacle of power, sipping tea, and playing a game of chess.

Every step is carefully considered and is also the precipitation of the soul. In these leisurely years, the moves are made elegantly.

Finally, life is like chess. Isn't it wonderful?

Following Mo Xingchen's description, the Five Elders were completely brought into the scene.

As he imagined himself in front of the chessboard, killing everyone, Na Ke's heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to heat up.

The God of Finance quickly spoke first.

"Come on, come on! Xingchen, let's try one first!"

...

...

Afterwards, Mo Xingchen played two games with the God of Finance, winning one and losing one. Of course, he lost on purpose because he had to give face to his leader.

The five elder stars were not stupid people. After all, the rules of Go were simple. They learned it after reading it twice.

Mo Xingchen saw the other five elders' fiery eyes and took the opportunity to say:

"Your Excellency is truly a man of great talent. Even in your first attempt, you have already shown extraordinary chess prowess. I have no doubt that you are better than me.

It seems that you can only let other adults be your opponents."

"Yes, get out of the way! Let us try it too!"

At this time, the other four Five Elders were itching to get their hands on something, and they disregarded their leader's majesty. Like children seeing a fun toy, they directly pulled away the God of Finance. Some of them fought for the position, and some fought for the chessboard.

Seeing this scene, the God of Finance could only shake his head helplessly and said to Mo Xingchen:

"It made you laugh."

"How dare I! This is because the adults are straightforward and casual, and no longer care about the rules and regulations of the secular world. As the saying goes, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven."

"Hahahahaha, Xingchen, you must have put a lot of thought into preparing these gifts!"

Mo Xingchen smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"The chessboard is carved from the Adam tree, the white chess pieces are ivory, and the black chess pieces are agate. These materials are not too expensive and are easy to find.

It really took me a lot of effort to polish this chess piece.

But fortunately, the adults are very satisfied, so I think it is worth it. "

The God of Finance leaned forward, patted Mo Xingchen on the shoulder, and sighed:

"That's thoughtful! Xingchen, we all see your loyalty, but it's a pity that Zhan Guo hasn't done anything wrong.

We can't force him to retire, but don't worry, the next Admiral of the Navy will definitely be yours!"

Mo Xingchen immediately waved his hand and said:

"My Lord, this is unacceptable, unacceptable!"

The God of Finance had a stern face and pretended to be angry:

"How to prevent it?"

"I'm so young, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince others!"

The God of Finance laughed loudly and said:

"Excessive modesty is not a virtue! With your strength and your means,

Add to that your achievements in the navy, your contributions to the World Government, and your loyalty to us, one by one, who would dare to object to these things!

Besides, Zhan Guo will retire sooner or later, and the marshal will be chosen from among the four of you generals. Your qualifications are more than enough.

Don't worry, we are your strongest support!"

"Yes! Thank you for your support, sir."

Mo Xingchen had no choice but to agree to it first. If he blindly refused the reward from his leader, it would be a bit disrespectful to him.

The God of Finance nodded with satisfaction, patted Mo Xingchen on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"That's right. Although I can't let you be the marshal now, it doesn't matter. From now on, the CP department will be handed over to you to manage!"

Mo Xingchen did not refuse, nor could he refuse, he could only show a grateful expression and said:

"I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

But my heart is suffering.

Oh, what is this!!!
