Time is a butcher's knife, this statement is especially obvious in this world of pirates.
Think about Dadan, Big Mom, and even the mermaid old lady that Luffy and the others met in the Water City. These people were all first-class beauties when they were young, but they became like that when they were old.
Since he intends to turn this Wano country into Inazuma, as the future master of this country, it is reasonable to pursue eternity, right?
'I don't know if this world is related to the world of the theatrical version and the game world. If there is a connection, then there are many ways to maintain eternity. '
Xia Lin thought.
Such as Pure Gold, Regression Fruit, and Vampire Fruit all have similar abilities.However, these are either from special chapters, or from theatrical versions and games, not in TV dramas.
But even without these, Xia Lin still has the fruit of surgery and the fruit of time as options.
The fruit of surgery can achieve immortality, which has been confirmed in the original drama, but it has great limitations.First of all, the ability user of the fruit has to reach the level of awakening, and this ability can only be used once, after which the ability user will die.
The combination of these conditions is very harsh. There are not many people who can cultivate the fruits to awakening in the whole ocean. How can such people willingly give their lives to help others realize eternity?
And once the opponent's fruit ability is awakened and reaches this level of strength, it will be difficult for the Orochi Seal to be useful.
In addition, there is a time fruit.
The person with the ability of this fruit came from the time of Tianyue 800 years ago.Tianyueshi herself doesn't have the ability to achieve immortality, but a person like her certainly doesn't have a deep understanding of fruit development.
The time fruit is a very rare fruit related to time. Apart from the tasteless time travel ability, there must be other abilities that have not been developed.
Xia Lin remembered that the vampire fruit in the game was in a place called Sleeping Ancient Town, and he planned to find a chance to check it out.
Although the specific location is not clear, but as long as you know the name, it will be much easier to handle.He can definitely ask Heitan Muchan to find out the news for him when he goes out to sea.In fact, there may not be Sleeping Ancient Town in this world, and even if it exists, there may not be vampire fruits there.
But at present, apart from this fruit, there are several other ways to do it.
Pure gold has long been swallowed by sea kings who can devour islands along with ancient civilizations. There is nowhere to be found in the vast sea. Ian, the owner of the Regression Fruit, has not yet been born at this time. Tianyue did not cross over.
In fact, Xia Lin didn't pay much attention to the matter of eternal life, but he didn't want to usher in aging.
It will take another 40 years for the vortex that rolls the world to appear. By then, the new era will really begin. It would be a sad thing if the new era cannot be seen because of aging.
Xia Lin has a sense of resistance to aging. Once a person gets old, many things will become powerless.
In the alternation of forces in this world, those who stand at the top are always replaced by new forces later on.
Moreover, when the body keeps getting old, a person's spirit may also show decay and fatigue, like a dead old tree that is firmly rooted, but cannot bloom new branches.
But having said that, Xia Lin didn't put a lot of energy on this matter. He always understood that only power is fundamental, without power, even if he gets permanent life, he will become someone else's plaything.
"Xuezi, the next time we trade with Bai Wu, let our people go to Big She and tell him to let Mu Chan secretly collect information about Sleeping Ancient Town. But don't be too careful."
"I know Master Xia Lin." Xuezi's face was flushed, because Xia Lin's hand had already reached into her collar.
She lowered her head, her face flushed slightly.
Streams flowed through the black forest.
However, after hearing Xia Lin's order, she still bit her lip to suppress her lust, and pretended to be serious.
But this look of patience looks even more palatable.
Chapter 29
The trade between Jiuli and Baiwu is very prosperous, which also brings considerable economic income to Baiwu.Moreover, Xia Lin doubled the repayment of the loan and some preferential policies now, which made the Kang family feel very good about Xia Lin.So much so that the businessmen from Jiuli, especially the business of the Daming Mansion in Jiuli, don't even know how to check.
Xia Lin was willing to make friends with Bai Wu, but of course it couldn't be just to repay Bai Wu's kindness for lending money.This part of the kindness has already been doubled.
What Xia Lin wanted was the convenience of being in Baiwu. In this way, it would be much more convenient for him to contact Heitan Orochi, or secretly transfer manpower and supplies to Orochi.Just like the devil fruit collected by Orochi at that time, it was necessary to use this method to transport it to Jiuli.
During this period of time, Xia Lin has saved a lot of devil fruits, but these are ordinary animal species.Instead of receiving these fruits, it is better to find creatures to receive them directly.The same is true for ancient species, there is no shortage of ancient islands in this world.
The unused fruit will be kept by Xia Lin and returned to Heitan Orochi.If you make a deal with Kaido in the future, these are all bargaining chips.
Kaido wants to form an army of beasts, and any animal devil fruit is valuable to him.
Xia Lin doesn't care about the increase of Kaido's power, because in his plan, both Wano Country and Kaido's forces will eventually be taken over by him.
After Heitan Orochi becomes the acting general, if the original development is followed, Kaido and Oden will fight sooner or later. This time, Xia Lin will not let Heitan Muchan disrupt the situation.When those two people are both hurt, then he will be able to wipe out this country and the Hundred Beasts Pirates.
At that time, maybe he will become one of the four emperors entrenched in this new world, and at that time, he will be considered to have a firm foothold.
However, there is no need to worry about this. If you want to become such a behemoth, it is not enough to look powerful. In the future, there will definitely be constant friction with each other, and even wars.
After Rocks falls, the whole world will become chaotic. The original Rocks remnants are fighting on their own, entrenched in the new world, vying for wealth, territory, and power with each other. Battles of all sizes have completely exceeded The level of pirates has evolved into a war between countries.
This is why the New World Navy is so weak after so many years.
It's too chaotic here, and the new blood of the pirates in Paradise is also pouring in. Even the navy has a hard time gaining a foothold in the new world.In other words, even if you pay a huge price to invest in the new world, you can get very little return.
There is no doubt that the total power of the navy exceeds that of any of the four emperors' regiments, but relatively, this power is not completely twisted together.The pirates are fighting on their own, and the navy has to manage the seas all over the world.
Compared with the four seas, the sea area of the great sea route is actually very small, and this sea route is just a slightly wide seaway.
Before Heitan Orochi became the acting general, Xia Lin also needed the right to use the submerged port.
There are quite a few ports in Wano Country, such as Gui Port, Renwu Port, Changying Port, etc., but these ports are ports in Wano's inland sea, and only Bai Mai's submerged port can safely lead overseas.
However, under the policy of locking the country, the diving port is closed all year round.
Heitan Muchan travels overseas, and it is impossible to ask Xia Lin to help send it every time, and with the development of overseas forces, the contacts will become closer and more frequent. If he is all asked to help, then what will he do? You don't have to do it, you can just watch and transport people all day long.
Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the right to use the submerged port, but it will take time to convince the Kang family to agree to it.
Wano Country's policies for hundreds of years are too deeply rooted in their hearts for them. Facing the unknown overseas world, everyone has some fear.
Fortunately, the Kang family has a relatively good relationship with Yu Tian. Presumably, Yu Tian usually talked to him about going to sea or founding a country.
At least in one point, the difficulty of convincing the Kang family is much less than that of others.
This kind of thing can only be done slowly, not in a hurry.
After the people who transported the goods arrived at Baiwu, they found an opportunity to bring the message to Heitan Orochi. These people were all people who were imprinted with the Orochi's seal, and confidentiality is very important.
Then Heitan Orochi found an opportunity to write to Heitan Muchan again.Unlike Chanmaru who has been staying in Baiwu to protect Orochi, Mu Chan can be said to be very busy.
While she was running around, she also wanted to help Orochi clear up the relationship between the upper and lower levels. Xia Lin heard that Orochi was planning to go to the capital of flowers to lurk beside Sukiyaki.
"Sleeping Ancient Town?" On the other side, Mu Chan, who got the letter from Orochi, silently burned the letter paper with flames.
This is a place she has never heard of. There are countless islands in this world. This so-called Sleeping Ancient Town sounds like an insignificant town on a certain island. It is as difficult to find out. Find a needle in a haystack.
But Mu Chan had no complaints.
In her opinion, Xia Lin's order is the top priority. Although Xia Lin said that there is no need to worry, she can't think so.
In her opinion, Xia Lin could have easily got Wano Country into his hands, but he allowed them to carry out a long revenge on the Kozuki Clan. what?
As for why Xia Lin wanted to find such a place, and what to do after she found it, she wouldn't bother to ask. Even if Xia Lin used a lot of manpower to find this place and use it to repair toilets, that was an adult's order.She just needs to comply.
But she can't do it herself, she can only order the servants she recruited in recent years to do it.
Because there was another thing mentioned in Kurotan Orochi's letter, which required her to return to Wano Country immediately.
That is the daimyo who Kozuki Sukiyaki plans to meet Kuri.
Since Xia Lin took over Kuri, he hasn’t formally visited Kozuki Sukiyaki. Just because of Oden’s incident recently, Sukiyaki remembered that he had never seen Kuri’s daimyo in person, so he wrote a book asking him to go to Hanazhi All.
It is actually an honor for the daimyo to be received by the general.The original Oden also went to the capital of flowers to meet sukiyaki three years after becoming Kuri Daimyo.This is because it took him more than three years to settle Jiuli's finances.Xia Lin only used it for a few months.
This made Sukiyaki eager to see the magical existence of Xia Lin.
But Xia Lin didn't want to have any interaction with the other party. After all, the daimyo's status was still lower than that of the general, and he didn't want to bow down in front of the Guangyue family.
So let Mu Chan come back and make her look like herself to meet that incompetent general.
Chapter 30 Keiko
No attendant Bingya!
A cold force was released from the mouth of the white wolf in the darkness, like a polar blizzard mixed with countless hard boulders, like an ice storm!
In a hurry, Xia Lin could only condense an ice wall in front of him to resist.
But the hardness of ice is different from ice to ice.
The ice wall he condensed was pierced by the opponent in an instant, and the residue of ice shards hit him on the face.
The next moment, the ferocious white wolf rushed up, attacked with sharp claws, and tore his body apart.
Xia Lin withdrew from the consciousness space, his body already covered in sweat.
Keiko was also on duty today, and this woman was slowly wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Lord Xia Lin, are you awake?"
"Yeah." Xia Lin stretched out her hand to hold her wrist. Since entering the Daming Mansion, Keiko's rough hands have become a little softer, "There is no need to wipe it. Let the servants prepare the bath water. I want to take a bath."
"Yes." Keiko stood up slowly, and then walked out of the room.
Looking at her body swaying like a willow branch, Xia Lin slowly exhaled.
"Failed again, this kind of thing really can't be rushed."
Ever since he got those two phantom beast devil fruits and the ripe superhuman fruit, fighting these souls in the consciousness space like this has become a daily compulsory course for him.
Only by defeating the opponent in the consciousness space can it be regarded as a complete reception success.
However, in the consciousness space, he has no way to use other fruit abilities, nor can he use domineering. All he has is the same ability as this fruit itself, but this ability is very weak.
He can only truly complete the reception only by constantly fighting against the fruit's consciousness itself, tempering his own abilities, and finally surpassing the fruit itself.
This process is not as simple as awakening a fruit. It took Xia Lin to fully receive the fruit of Yamata no Orochi, and I don't know how many years it took.
However, although this process is long, it is also conducive to his understanding of the fruit's ability.
It's like another Phantom Beast, Human Fruit, Great Entrance Form.This fruit does not seem to have developed any useful moves in the hands of the fox in the original play. It seems that there is nothing magical about it except that it looks like an enlarged version of the common people's fruit.
But in fact, the great enlightenment fruit also has its special power.
One of them is to change the size of the body freely. If you want, it is not difficult to become taller than the mountains.Another ability is the ability of sound waves, but Xia Lin estimates that the vibration and impact caused by the sound waves are not as strong as the shaking fruit.
If this fruit is well developed, it can definitely reach a very high level. Unfortunately, in the original book, it was eaten by a fox. It is obviously a phantom beast, and the tricks are not even as many as Chopper's ordinary fruit.
But then again, in terms of the development of animal fruits, Chopper is definitely the strongest in the entire pirate world.
Chopper's starting point can be said to be very low. He is not a powerful animal. He is the most ordinary reindeer in the great route full of rare beasts, not even the size of Xia Lin's previous reindeer. Big.
After finally eating the devil fruit, it is also the most common form of ordinary people.
But it happened that he made full use of the ability of such a fruit.
Xia Lin sat on the spot for a while, when Keiko came back blushing again.
"Lord Xia Lin, the water is ready."
"En." Xia Lin got up to go to the bath, and Keiko hurried up to help him, as if treating him as a patient.
In fact, there is a natural hot spring in the Daming Mansion, built in the depths of the mansion, which is also a place where ordinary people cannot set foot.However, the journey is a bit far, and Xia Lin is exhausted every time he finishes his practice, so he has no plans to go there.Instead, people boil water and bathe in high-rise buildings.
The baths are just a couple of adjoining rooms and a quick walk away.
"My lord, this servant will undress you." Keiko said in a low voice with a blushing face.But her hands and feet are not messy, but orderly.She didn't know how many times she had repeated this kind of thing, and she was already proficient in it.It's just that I still feel shy because of my temper.
Sometimes Xia Lin looks at Keiko, as if seeing the former Xuezi, but in fact their personalities are still somewhat different.
Due to her high position, Xuezi has developed a high-ranking temperament, which Keiko does not have.Even before, Xuezi was much more lively than Keiko.
In the Daming Mansion, Keiko didn't study martial arts, she studied knowledge and skills, so she didn't have that domineering sharpness on her body.
Soon, she packed up her clothes, and Xia Lin slowly walked into the warm water, then sat down to rest with her eyes closed.
After a while, he felt something soft sticking to his back, and steaming hot air rose from the surface of the water, spreading out the faint fragrance.
"My lord, let me help you."
Keiko's voice was so low that Xia Lin wondered if she really heard her talking, or if it was just a hallucination.But with a little insignificant strength, her delicate hands began to rub.
Keiko may have used all his strength, but Xia Lin felt that strength was still vague, making him feel like he was teasing instead of taking a bath.
So Huizi suffered a disaster.
A few hours later, Xia Lin walked out holding Keiko, whose legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up, and the maids outside the door who had been listening to "uh-uh-uh-uh-uh" for hours couldn't stand their legs up.
However, they still came in quickly to help wipe the bodies of the two of them.
Keiko was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to bury herself, it was better than being served by these maids now, she suspected that the voice she just yelled just now was going to be heard behind the bell at the other end of Wano Country.
In fact, of course it wouldn't be so exaggerated, but Keiko's cry was really selfless at that time. Not to mention that it spread throughout the Daming Mansion, at least the seven-story walls of the nine-story tower couldn't stop her voice.
