After Li Ke ordered to go to Upside Down Mountain, he discovered a very serious problem.
The speed of becoming stronger has slowed down.
When he usually exercises, although the speed of strength accumulation is also very slow, it is because his upper limit of exercise has increased and he needs more exercise.
But it was different now. Even if he kept challenging his limits and doing more exercises, he still couldn't do it and his speed was getting slower and slower.
Although this is due to the physical limitations of ordinary humans, Li Ke can feel another key reason.
Energy intake is not enough.
Although his becoming stronger is unscientific, it still obeys the law of conservation of energy, that is, it consumes energy to become stronger, and it is still a lot of energy.
Although the food in the One Piece world is rich in energy, it is impossible for him to eat all the time. So if he wants to become stronger, he needs more high-energy and nutritious ingredients.
For example, food like Neptune meat can obviously help him exercise.
But the problem is...
Hunting Neptunes requires money, not to buy weapons or anything, but to take them away after killing them. This small broken ship does not have the ability to carry too many Neptunes.
So, just when Li Ke finished his exercise and was about to run out of strength and end his exercise, another piece of bad news came.
"There's not enough money."
Nami slapped the account book on the face of Li Ke, who had just climbed up from the sea, with an unhappy face. Li Ke, who had just finished his exercise, looked confused.
"Why isn't it enough? I remember I brought tens of millions with me, including Creek's bounty and Aaron's bounty."
If Li Ke remembered correctly, the bounties he had collected and the treasures taken away from the pirates totaled nearly 100 million. How could they be gone in just a few days?
Nami is greedy?
Li Ke looked at Nami's waist and didn't notice that her belly was bulging.
As soon as she heard Li Ke's words, an even stronger expression of displeasure appeared on Nami's face. Li Ke also took the towel handed over by Nuoqi Gao, wiping the sea water on his face while looking at the account that Nami gave him.
Nami wrote down a series of expenses clearly, including ship repair and maintenance fees. She remembered them very clearly and every item was correct. Li Ke looked at it and found that the expenses were indeed very large, and he did not have much money.
But he also found a place that confused him.
"Why is the bounty so small?! The evil dragon's bounty is 20 million. Why did it only receive 14 million?! Is Smog embezzling?!"
He had a look of disbelief on his face. He really couldn't imagine that Smoker had committed corruption! And with Nami's greed for money, she didn't even tell him!
After listening to his words, Nami slapped herself in the face. She didn't understand why Li Ke thought about corruption. Although embezzling bounty money was indeed very common, Smoker would not embezzle him. That little bounty.
He is an officer in the headquarters and has a promising future. He will not delay his career for such a small amount of money.
"He is not corrupt because you can only get 70% of the evil dragon's bounty."
But Li Ke only heard 70%.
"Why is it only 70%?"
Nami couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Ke.
"It's 70% that Smoker gave you face. That's it. Many people can't get it even if they want to."
She sighed and explained to Li Ke.
"Because the World Government wants to use pirates to demonstrate, so if you want to get the bounty smoothly, you usually have to capture them alive, and Aaron seems to be related to a big shot, so he can't kill indiscriminately... so the bounty for you is If it's only 70%, other pirates will give you the full bounty. For example, if you kill the Creek Pirates, they will give you the full bounty."
Nami is also unhappy about this. Because she has connections, she doesn't have to worry about being caught if she does something wrong. If it weren't for Li Ke being a fool, Aaron wouldn't have died if he met those guys who could beat him. This made Nami very unhappy.
Of course, Li Ke, who felt that his money was gone, was also unhappy.
"Tsk...the world government is really..."
Returning the account book in his hand to Nami, Li Ke continued to wipe the seawater from his body. At this time, Nokigao had also put a lot of food on the deck so that Li Ke could enjoy it. Li Ke also I just responded to what Nami said about the lack of money while eating.
"Are there any pirates around there?"
Nami simply shook her head.
"Thanks to you, the world news during this period is full of your news, so the pirates in the East China Sea have stopped a lot. At least there are no pirates near the Grand Route. Even if there are, there are hundreds of thousands of pirates. Thieves, but I’m afraid they won’t dare to raise the pirate flag in the near future, and even if we look for them, we probably won’t be able to find them.”
This is what pirates are like. These pirates don't have the self-esteem of big pirates. If they can beat them, they will raise the pirate flag. If they can't beat them, they will pretend to be merchant ships. These are all basic operations, and they are also the reason why there are pirates in Rogge Town even though Smoker is in Rogge Town.
Many times there is really only a thin line between pirates and serious businessmen. Unless they are the kind of pirates who have really made a name for themselves, it is difficult to catch young pirates.
"Then let's go to the New World. If not, just capture Crocodile."
Li Ke took a bite of the delicious meat and spoke while chewing. But to be honest, Nuoqigao's cooking skills are really not very good, far worse than the chefs in Rogge Town. Especially when it comes to meat cooking, Nokigao's skills are really not that good.
This is not something difficult to understand. After all, under Aaron's rule, how could Nuoqigao eat and drink all day long? There is nothing he can do if the meat is not cooked well.
Nami became even more crazy. She felt that there must be something wrong with Li Ke's brain.
"Are you crazy? If you dare to capture Crocodile, we will be selected on your back the next day."
The most important privilege of King Shichibukai is that he will not be arrested again, and if Li Ke captures King Shichibukai, he will undoubtedly be provoking the World Government. Such behavior is no longer acceptable. It can simply become a suicide attempt.
"But he is a villain. I remember that he planned to steal the country of Alabasta, and he also planned to steal the country by provoking a civil war in this country."
Li Ke casually said a warning that the sailors around him, even Nami and Nokigao, didn't want to hear. Especially Nami, she felt that something must have gone wrong when she and Li Ke went to sea.
"How could you know such a thing!"
She did not doubt the authenticity of the news Li Ke said. Instead, she immediately asked Li Ke how he knew it.
"intuition."
Li Ke swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and wanted to get a soda on the side, but Nuo Qi gave him a high look and handed him a glass of orange juice that she had just squeezed.
"Don't drink these things all day long, pay attention to the balance of nutrition."
"oh."
So Li Ke didn't care about the way Nami spoke, which also made Nami's blood pressure gradually rise. But although her blood pressure continued to rise, Nami still endured it and did not have an attack. Instead, she tried to persuade her.
"...Anyway, you'd better forget this. The Shichibukai is not comparable to the evil dragon. You must know that the evil dragon has such a status in the East China Sea only because he has a friend from the Shichibukai."
Nami's face was very serious, she didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome matter. In her opinion, although Li Ke is more powerful than the evil dragon, he must still be inferior to those real big shots.
Especially the Shichibukai, the big pirates who could make even the world's governments compromise. She couldn't even imagine how powerful those people were. Li Ke looked at her serious eyes and nodded in agreement, letting Nami breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, but his head is worth money. If I kill him and his Baroque Studio, I can buy the devil fruit."
Nami and Nokigao went berserk at the same time, and they both hit Li Ke with their fists on the back of the head, causing him to almost bury his face in the steak in front of him.
"......You bastard!! Listen to me!"
Li Ke's eyes twitched when he felt the touch on the back of his head. He always felt that after he and Nami confirmed their relationship, they became more and more like the original One Piece. Especially the way he beats the captain whenever he disagrees. Are you treating him like Luffy, the brainless idiot?
I’m not a man who wants to be the Pirate King, so why are you hitting me on the head?
I am the man who wants to become the Bounty King!
So he stretched out his hand and pulled the two wanton women to his side, then wiped Nami's newly washed waist with his oily hands, and then picked up the water glass on one side to drink water, and exchanged it for Nami's second punch.
"The main reason is that he is a pirate and is persecuting innocent people. He can exchange money with the World Government, right...Also, even if I can't take off his head, if Her Highness the Princess of Alabasta exposes his behavior, , and then can’t I take his reward openly?”
"Then the question is, since Alabasta is almost in the hands of the Sand Crocodile, how can you find the princess of Alabasta and help her expose Crocodile's conspiracy?"
Nuo Qigao did not ask whether Li Ke's information was correct, but calmly analyzed it. After all, as a crew member, you only need to trust the captain.
This is also one of the unique charms of the One Piece world. It is as unique as their extremely unscientific and exaggerated figures that even Li Ke has never seen before.
The thin-waisted Li Ke felt like they had no intestines, but they were extremely strong. Last night when Nami was tired and he went to find Nokigao...
"Ahem, there's no need to worry about this. As long as we fight against Baroque Studio, we will naturally be able to find them... And even if I don't get the other party's bounty in the end, I can still get a few demons from the other party. Those with fruits, or hundreds of millions of Baileys, will definitely not be wanted by the World Government... Then you will know what I will do."
Li Ke drank all the orange juice, and Nami and Nokigao planted orange trees on his boat, just like in the original book, so there was plenty of fruit on the boat.
The reason why he was in trouble with Crocodile was also very simple, because he remembered clearly that no matter which fan book he was in, Crocodile was like an experience bag, and he was also very rich.
If he wanted to defeat Rayleigh without relying on the instinct to completely lose his will, he would undoubtedly have to enhance his current strength and talent. Otherwise, it would take a long, long time to work hard.
It will take at least two or three years. After all, the qualifications of ordinary people have their limits. This is also the reason why my improvement is getting slower and slower. He won't endure it for so long, and to be honest, the limit of pure physicality in this world is no matter how high it is. When the energy intake is not enough, that's it.
Moreover, simply improving one's physical strength is not enough. There is not enough time, so one must regain a kind of strength.
But this power must not seriously interfere with his rhythm of mastering his own power, so first of all, Holy Light and Shadow are excluded. His talents in these two problematic powers cannot even be suppressed by the world will of the Pirate King. Unlock them No matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with laying a good foundation.
Although the power of Majin Sparda is not as exaggerated as that of Holy Light and Shadow, it is still an exceptional power. He can clear the level immediately after being sacrificed. Moreover, with ten Superman-type Devil Fruits, he cannot hold on to his current strength.
Although the power of the Earth Guardian and the other four dragon kings are not that extraordinary, they are the power of authority. I am not even familiar with the power of the body, let alone the power of authority. Even if I unlock the Spartan Demon first None of the powers will first unlock the power of this power system.
So in the end, only the power of another bloodline was left.
"The blood of dragon."
It only takes two Phantom Beast-type Devil Fruits to unlock them in this world. The strength itself is not exceptional, and the enhancement of power without transformation is not particularly exaggerated. On the contrary, it can increase the qualifications and recovery ability of one's body. Speed up your workouts.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Nami and Nokigao next to him again, and couldn't help but laugh.
If he unlocked the ability to transform into a dragon, wouldn't these two be dragon knights?
"Devil fruit?"
Nami glanced at Li Ke's strong body and bit her lip. To be honest, she knew that she and Nokigao were just a hindrance in the battle, so she felt that Li Ke wanted to give her the devil fruit to make her She has the ability to protect herself.
But she couldn't give up swimming because she wanted to chart the world's oceans, so she looked at Nokigao, who was also thoughtful.
Nokigao nodded and nodded towards Nami, while Nami was full of unwillingness and decided to exercise well while drawing the sea chart to avoid completely becoming a burden to Li Ke.
But Li Ke didn't know the determination of the two of them. He was still laughing at the brilliant idea he had just thought of, so the two of them acquiesced in Li Ke's behavior.
"correct."
Li Ke suppressed his smile and raised his finger in front of the two people.
"Of course these crew members cannot be brought to the Grand Line, so my official crew is only the two of you. But since you are going to the Grand Line, you must have a famous name."
"What?"
Nami didn't care very much, but Nokigao had an inexplicable premonition, but didn't know why she felt this way.
"Dragon Knight Hunter Group! Anyone who joins my pirate... no, my bounty hunter team is a Dragon Knight! And after we change to a new ship, I will personally issue medals to any Dragon Knight! Well, except for doctors.”
Li Ke added something in the middle of the sentence, because he was not sick enough to fall in love with Chopper.
