'Eliminate all obstructions and disgusting things~'
'Let's change this world! '
'Music~'
'It's the magic you caused~! '
The sound of heavenly singing echoed, and the TV was playing a music video through the relay phone bug.
In the picture, a cute girl with red hair on the right and white hair on the left is wearing headphones, wearing a feathered costume and a white miniskirt with a black tie, singing and dancing on the dazzling stage, highlighting the charm of youth and music.
Ji Xing put his legs on the coffee table, lying half on the sofa, chewing snacks and listening to music. Before there was a knock on the door of his room, he said: "Come in!"
The door clicked open, and a tall, short-haired beauty walked in. Her face was unfamiliar, but her tone was very familiar.
"Ara, this red-haired singer Uta is everywhere these days. I didn't expect you to be hiding at home and listening to her music." She teased.
"It really sounds good, and the lyrics are also good." Ji Xing sat up straight and said, "Your disguise has improved again."
"Master taught me well." Nico Robin smiled and said, "The Chamber of Commerce just received another Devil Fruit. It should be a superman type. Do you want it?"
"Really? Let me ask Abe and the others if there is any kid who has been doing well recently and wants to eat devil fruits."
"It seems that you, the Sheriff, are becoming more and more incompetent." Robin teased.
"Everyone has grown up."
At this time, the time has come to January 17, 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar. Three years have passed since Ji Xing defeated two Yonko one against two and was recognized as the strongest in the world!
It's not far from Wang Lufei's departure to the sea.
In the past three years, the situation in the sea has been changing. There are three focuses, all related to Ji Xing.
The Four Emperors returned to the Three Emperors due to Kaido's arrest, which attracted countless big pirates to attack this position. Later, Kaido's remnant group and Jhin's team killed and collected most of them, forming a huge pirate army, attacking the bottom of the sea. Impel City Prison launched an attack to rescue their boss, Kaido.
In the end, due to the disunity of the people and falling into the navy's scheme, they were defeated, and the news gradually died out.
The second is the chaos in the underground forces caused by Doflamingo's arrest, and the liberation war of Punk Hassad by the World Government to restore its reputation.
The third is the change of tidal islands.
Because of the existence of the strongest man in the world, countless people came to the island specially to have a look. There were also many people with evil intentions or ambitions who wanted to challenge. After many famous pirates landed on the island and no more were heard, there were gradually fewer people. A little more.
The exchange, increase and decrease of population has also greatly promoted the development of tidal islands.
Using Captain John's treasure, Ji Xing established the 'Holo Merchant Group' in his own name.
Hosted by Robin, whose pseudonym is 'Roos', after three years of development, it has become a behemoth. It is a force that is far more formal and larger than Crocodile's Baroque Studio.
And then use the business group to support Tidal Island, saying that today's Tidal Island is the most prosperous island in the Grand Line. As long as you bring one of them, no one will object.
As for the defense force on the island... Let's put it this way, even if Ji Xing is not there, pirates who are not mentally ill will not be willing to come. The seven channels of the Grand Route have actually become six and a half!
After getting up and turning off the TV, Ji Xing asked Robin another reason for the establishment of the business group: "You haven't collected any information about the historical text monument recently?"
"Ah, the ones we found before are probably all the obvious ones."
"Then it seems like it's time to find another stone tablet with an obvious location." Ji Xing said with a smile.
Robin looked slightly shaken: "Is it time?"
"That's almost it." Ji Xing nodded: "Let's go find Eagle Eye first."
The two left Ji Xing's house and entered the streets of Xiaochao Village. Although it is still called Xiaochao Village, except for the insufficient number of residents, it can be called a city.
There are beautiful small buildings everywhere, the streets are in good repair, and Ji Xing's house has been renovated and built like a miniature castle.
——Although his position is still Chief Sheriff, Ji Xing has long been recognized as the 'Tide King'!
Although he didn't think the name sounded good.
"Ah, Master Holo!"
"Are you going out to buy groceries? My family just..."
"It's better to taste me..."
As in the past, as soon as Ji Xing goes out, all kinds of warm greetings come to Yao. The residents of Xiaochao Village are still the same group of people, and only this group of people. When facing Ji Xing, they still look like the 'Guardians'. attitude, not what is the strongest in the world.
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. I have to go out and go to Kra Island." Ji Xing responded one by one, turned around a street, and suddenly stopped.
Robin looked in the direction he was looking, and caught some movement with the color of knowledge inspired by Ji Xing's training, and said with a smile: "Ara, there are not many pirates who dare to cause trouble on Tide Island, especially Xiaochao Village, no. Do you know if he has some strength or is he the kind of guy who doesn’t know how to advance or retreat?”
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Go over and have a look."
When the two of them passed by, they saw that the pirates had fallen to the ground in a mess, except for the last one, who was still holding on under the siege of the guards.
It was a young man with a red hedgehog head and a ferocious expression. His right hand absorbed many swords and weapons like a magnet and turned into a huge weapon. He kept swinging back and forth in anger.
"Eustace Kidd." Robin identified: "A pirate from the South China Sea, with a current bounty of 120 million Baileys. He should have just entered the Grand Line. It seems that he does not know how to advance or retreat. These are the words Nata's subordinates are getting stronger and stronger, and even the Devil Fruit users with a bounty of more than 100 million can't hold on for long."
"Now if you want to become the official guard of Tide Island, you must defeat Hawkeye's orangutan one-on-one. Even if you become a pirate, you can get a bounty of 30 to 50 million." Ji Xing nodded: "It's another siege. Not surprising, his men No. But these six people can't beat him, this kid will explode...here he comes."
"Damn it! I'm here to challenge Holo, the strongest man in the world! How could I fall into the hands of soldiers like you?!" Kidd, who received another stab wound, roared, and the invisible impact suddenly spread!
Buzz - In the overlord-colored light, the guard teams in Xiaochao Village staggered and fell to the ground.
"Ara..." Robin opened his mouth in surprise: "A domineering and domineering look? Do you want me to come?"
"No need, there will be a flying slash in seven seconds to teach him how to behave." Ji Xing said with a smile.
Robin stared back, counting silently in his heart.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Kidd, who stunned the guard, laughed triumphantly: "Holo! Where are you?! Your subordinates are simply vulnerable! They don't dare to come see me..."
puff--
"?"
At exactly seven, Kidd was bleeding!
"Let's go, let's go there."
Ji Xing led Robin away, and at the same time the swordsman who stunned Kidd was revealed. She was a heroic female swordsman with black hair with a hint of pink. He spotted the two of them on the way and said happily: "Brother Sheriff! Sister Loos!"
"Thank you, Nata."
"Nata is already a female swordsman who can stand alone." Robin praised.
Nata smiled sheepishly and banged the heads of the unconscious guards with the hilt of her sword, waking them all up. She got up in shame and said: "We were careless, Captain Nata! Please punish us with a whip, Be sure not to show mercy!"
The tone and demeanor were indeed a little perverted, which made Nata darken her face. She turned her head and smiled sheepishly at Ji Xing and Robin again.
"...Lord Holo?!"
The guards were shocked.
Ji Xing smiled and waved his hand: "Go find the people bound in chains and load them onto the ship. I happen to be going to Kra Island and will send them there on the way."
"yes!!"
The guards took action, and Nata approached distressedly and explained: "Brother Sheriff, they... are actually pretty good people, but occasionally... I have never used a whip..."
"I understand, you can use it next time." Ji Xing nodded seriously.
Nata paused and said angrily: "I don't!"
"Hahaha……"
Robin shook his head, feeling helpless for Ji Xing's bad taste, and joined the camp of teasing Nata.
…
A few hours later, Eustace Kidd slowly woke up, stood up suddenly... but didn't get up.
The feeling of restraint and powerlessness on his body immediately made him know what he had encountered. Damn it, a sea-floor stone chain? The memory before coma was replayed, that female swordsman... sneak attack on me... No, it was not just a sneak attack, she was a very strong swordsman... Bang!
Didn’t you even see Holo?
He looked around, confirmed that Kira and others were there, felt slightly relieved, and then identified the space he was in.
A sealed cell?
A little shaking, at sea? It's very fast, not a big ship, but some kind of speedboat?
Are you giving us to the navy?
At this moment, there was a sudden sway under his body, and he felt the speed of the ship slow down. At the same time, he heard a voice not far away: "We're here, the man happened to be awake too, let's get him out."
The cell door creaked open, and Kidd saw two of the guards who had besieged him before walking in and pulling towards his arms. At this time, he was unable to resist under the restraints of the sea tower stone. He could only maintain an unruly glare as he was dragged to the bow of the ship.
Several figures appeared in his sight.
The female swordsman who knocked me unconscious, the unimpressive woman, and another...
"The strongest man in the world! Holo?!"
Excitement suddenly burst out, and Kidd's domineering look echoed again: "Finally I see you! Let me go, let's have a fair fight!!"
"Fair? You didn't even get past my apprenticeship, but you still fight me. Is this fair? Someone who has already been arrested wants me to let you go. Is this fair?"
Kidd hesitated. If Ji Xing looked down on his strength, he would have something to say. But from a fair point of view, he really didn't know where to refute for the moment. He couldn't turn his head around and could only continue to act unruly. He glared at Ji Xing.
"I am the most fair person." Ji Xing waved his hand and said: "Generally, the pirates who are caught breaking into my tidal island will have four endings.
The first is to die, the second is to be handed over to the navy, the third is to join my business group, and the fourth is to work as a coolie for a while.
It would be a pity to hand you over to the navy. Even with your overlord color, you probably won't be willing to join my business group, so only one and four are left.
Death, or hard labor. "
He turned around and pointed: "Did you see the island in front of you? Pay attention to the edge of the island."
Kidd was guided by the words, looked sideways, and instantly saw something different. Generally, the periphery of an island is either a port or a shoal. In short, it will be relatively neat and orderly.
But the island seen in front is very angular, as if... it was cut out of thin air by some force?
"Those are traces accidentally made when Eagle Eye and I were verifying each other's sword skills or practicing. Part of the land sank into the sea." Ji Xing raised his head and said: "The content of the coolie is to fill these positions and restore the island. .
Because of the premise of man-made destruction, this is much easier than building an island out of thin air, but it will require more patience. "
……destroy?
"You feel disbelief and you question it."
Ji Xing's words interrupted what Kidd wanted to say: "I proved it to you. You were surprised and unwilling to give in, so you could only continue to stare at me with an unruly attitude."
Kidd was stunned, what the hell are you talking about?
The next moment, he saw Ji Xing casually pull out the knife and swing it. The moon-like sword energy took off, chopping up an island of a hundred square meters like cutting tofu cubes, and chased the sun with residual power.
W-what? !
Kidd opened his eyes in shock, and soon gritted his teeth, staring at Ji Xing unruly. Then he remembered Ji Xing's words just now, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make, showing off his facial expressions.
"Between the two options of jumping into the sea to die or working as a coolie, you chose the latter, and agreed that in addition to the regular mission objectives, the damaged area just now will be handed over to you. You only made one request. After repairing the island, you and I A battle.”
Ji Xing turned around and said: "I agree, but remember, you will be arrested again after the battle, and you will have to take on new island repair work, so you should think carefully about it in the next six months of your coolie life.
Don't make trouble and run away midway, or go back on your promise, you are a low-grade pirate.
Nata, the overseer on the island today is Rexidan. Let her arrange work for the newcomers. "
"Um!"
Seeing Ji Xing getting off the boat and walking away, Kidd's shouting was stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it out for a long time.
This guy... this guy... is this the strongest man in the world? This kind of pressure... I can't even say a word of rebuttal? !
the other side.
After walking far away, Robin joked: "Is it interesting for the world's strongest to use his ability to foresee the future to bully a new pirate like this?"
"For this kind of stupid young man, a concise and concise manifestation of the sage is the most convincing." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I haven't pretended for a long time, and I am a bit rusty."
"Pack?"
"Ah, no, I mean the manifestation."
"Oh~" Robin drawled.
An orangutan drove a carriage ahead. He bowed and greeted Ji Xing, let the two of them get on the carriage, and took them through the road paved by early coolies, straight to Hawkeye's castle, which was only ten minutes away.
Before they even walked in, familiar music echoed in their ears.
'I long for freedom! '
'You can already see~ The new era is on that side of the world~ Let's go~ Let's go to the new world together~! '
'The new era is the future~! '
"You two great swordsmen look so alike. You are both hiding at home listening to the red-haired singer's famous song - "New Genesis"?" Robin said amusedly.
"Really? Is Holo listening too?"
In the castle hall, Eagle Eye, who was sitting behind the coffee table, looked sideways and said, "I seem to have heard about this girl named Uta, from the red-haired man's mouth. She is the red-haired adopted daughter, but I don't know what happened. Abandoned by the redheads.”
"Red-haired Shanks?" Robin asked in surprise.
"Is there such a thing?" Ji Xing asked in a casual manner, and said, "Then it's a good time to go to Hongfa's place and ask him, and try to listen to the song live."
"Go to the redhead?" Hawkeye wondered.
"Go borrow a boat, the real New Genesis."
Ji Xing glanced at Uta on the TV: "Hawkeye, let's go to Lovedrew together?"
"Rav Drew?"
Hawkeye looked interested.
"You mean One Piece?"
It’s the end of the month, don’t keep your monthly passes.
