Chapter 29

"Yes, the base in Beihai is almost ready to produce penicillin in large quantities, but there are not many people recruited yet, so be careful."

"The Mary Joa plan is already being prepared. Prepare those things for me. They are the things I sent you a few days ago. Prepare more."

"No problem. This plan is really great. I can already see the powerlessness of those five old men."

"Well, we'll meet there then, you know, bye."

"goodbye."

After the brief conversation with the dragon, Noah continued to mention the sword and calmed down to practice. One year later, whether he can survive will depend on this sword.

After Long hung up the communication, he continued to supervise the construction of the construction site and put penicillin into production as soon as possible. After reviewing the plan given by Noah, it is indeed huge, and the success rate of the plan is estimated to be more than 50%. Don't think that more than 50% is very rare. After all, this is the Holy Land of Mariejoia, and any situation is possible. The success rate of more than 50% is amazing to the dragon.

A week later, Noah felt that his strength was not improving as fast as he had just upgraded his talent, so he knew it was time to leave Fish-Man Island. It's time to roll out all the work for this plan. By the way, find an opponent to fight with, and let your domineering level exceed the current level.

Constitution: 130

Strength: 130

Speed: 135

Skill:

Shave: Master 50%

Lan Jiao: Master Level 1%

Overlord color domineering 42%~47%

Kendo perfection level 40%

99% of the master level of seeing and hearing color domineering

Armed color domineering master level 99%

With this strength, if the domineering power can be broken through a little more, it can be regarded as the echelon below the general. Then the opponent must be chosen carefully. It is best to have the top combat power in the sea and not be too hostile. Although it was hard to find, Noah happened to know one. But there must be a reason for asking someone to take action. After all, the relationship is not that good. I had to give it a try, there is no harm in trying.

I simply packed my luggage and boarded the Voyager with Robin, preparing to return to the front section of the Grand Line. At this time, only Tiger and Jinbei came to see them off. The others were told not to come, and the cutting of identities had already begun.

Returning to the sea and looking at the natural sunshine, Noah somewhat understood the expectations of Fish-Man Island. Sunshine Eve's sunshine was survival, and the sun's sunshine also represented freedom.

Quietly returning to Port No. 59 of the Shampoo Islands, carrying the drinks and dessert specialties from Fishman Island, the two returned to Xia Qi's rip-off BAR again. When she opened the door, Xia Qi was very surprised to see Robin. She didn't expect to see each other again so soon after they parted. She pulled Robin and started chatting. Noah was not surprised. He put the specialties of Fish-Man Island behind the bar and got himself a glass of water.

Then he started working as a bartender with ease, and it was expected that Rayleigh would not come back until dark. Sure enough, Rayleigh returned to the bar on time in the evening and was quite speechless when he saw Noah. This little guy didn't get paid for coating last time.

First, hand the fine wine from Dragon Palace City to Lei Li. After all, finding someone to discuss things with is a matter of asking for help from others, so it is not strange to be polite to many people.

"Hey, Neptune's Collection, you have a very good relationship with Fish-Man Island. Tell me, do you have anything to trouble me with? Let me tell you first, don't come to me if it's too troublesome. My life is pretty good now. ”

As expected of the Pirate King's captain, he is well-informed. He was also very keen and realized that Noah would definitely have some requests in the future, so he made a buffer first.

"That's right, Mr. Reilly. I have a request and a business to discuss with you."

"uh-huh"

Reilly gestured to continue.

"The request is to have a discussion with you and accept your guidance to see where I stand on the sea. The business is that there will be several ships that need you to secretly coat them in half a year. According to Bailey, I will definitely give you enough this time. ”

After a discussion, Rayleigh could understand. Which young man from Dahai wouldn't want to fight with him, the King of Pluto? He hadn't done anything for several years, and Rayleigh was a little itchy, so he felt that Noah's strength wasn't too bad. As for business, that's a bit of a problem.

"For the sake of this bottle of wine, we can discuss it. Come with me to a small island tomorrow and we can practice a few tricks. As for the business, let's talk about it in detail after the negotiation. I feel like your business will be very hot."

"Hahahahaha, okay, okay. You can talk about it after the business is done." Noah rubbed the back of his head. This old guy was so smart.

The four of them had a sumptuous dinner together in the evening. Xia Qi saw Reilly opening a bottle of wine that looked unusual at first sight, and took a deep look at Noah without saying anything. She believed that Reilly would be measured. He turned around and continued to persuade Robin to eat more so that he could grow well.

Most beauties in the One Piece world don't have to worry about gaining weight when they are young, and their looks are definitely good. But when they get older, they will be brutally destroyed by time. Oda's malice is too obvious. Xia Qi now pays great attention to health care. Of course, she will not quit smoking and drinking, which is part of the health care regimen.

The next day, Noah carried Wado Yimonji and Rayleigh on his back and swam to the small island in the windless zone. Looking at Noah's figure, Reilly thought for a while and said: "The body is still lacking a little, otherwise you would have swam there long ago. As a swordsman, your physical fitness is qualified, but as a strong man, not enough."

Noah also understands that his physical foundation is weak, he has no bloodline, no talent, and the training time is too short, but there is no way. If the body does not rely on bloodline talent, it can only be done through hard work. Generally speaking, there is no shortcut. But he has found a way to temporarily supplement his weaknesses in the Marie Joa incident. Although there will be a certain price, it is worth it. There is no need to tell Reilly about this for the time being.

Rayleigh, who was standing opposite Noah, easily drew his sword and didn't introduce his sword name, just stood there so naturally. Rayleigh is not a capable person. His strength lies entirely in domineering and swordsmanship. A great swordsman is stable.

For Noah, this was the first time he fought against the great swordsman. Before, he only had an idea that the great swordsman was very strong, but he didn’t know how strong he was. Now I finally have a chance to fight against the great swordsman, but I still don’t know how strong he is. It seems that he is completely vulnerable, but he can't find the time to take action, so he can only wait. The most important thing he lacks is patience.

After a while, when he saw that Noah still held up the word "Hedao" and did not attack, Rayleigh was still very impressed. So what about this? Thinking about it, he released his sword power to oppress Noah.

Noah felt a heavy pressure coming on him, urging him to draw his sword. Reason told him that he would be able to neutralize the sword force after drawing his sword, but his instinctive response was that he would be defeated if he drew his sword. Amidst the conflicting feelings between reason and intuition, Noah knew that he had to do something, otherwise the sword's heart would be unstable and he would lose.

Showing off the results of the special training on Fish-Man Island will open the eyes of the great swordsmen in this world. The best is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and the sword force turned into invisible water. In a way that Rayleigh could not understand, it withstood the pressure of the sword force, and even resolved it, and incorporated it into Noah's own sword force.

Now it was Rayleigh who was scratching his head. This was different from what he had imagined. He originally wanted to use the force of his sword to force Noah to take action, and then seize the flaw in his passive action to suppress the kid in front of him with a few moves. As a result, something went wrong in the first step. Can the sword still have this kind of artistic conception?

It's no wonder that Lei Li has little knowledge, and the state of being as good as water does not exist in this world. This trip to Fish-Man Island was 10,000 meters deep under the sea and surrounded by water every day. It is normal to have some inspiration in this regard. Noah only scratched the surface after gaining strength. He could not reach a more profound and profound spiritual realm, but it was very suitable for using it to neutralize the opponent's sword force.

There is no way, Rayleigh will not strengthen his sword power. First, he is not sure how much more Noah can bear. It would be shameful if he could bear it all. Second, the water-like sword force on the opposite side is accommodating his own sword force. If he doesn't take action, he may suffer a loss. Hell, the great swordsman doesn't have an advantage in this kind of thing.

Rayleigh had no choice but to draw his sword, and when it came to sword-to-sword confrontation, Noah was knocked back to his original form. The difference in strength is huge, and the sword power is useless. He was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength and speed of his shots, and the gap in experience was even more huge. He was beaten by the swordsman from the left and the right. This was the suppression of the swordsman by the great swordsman.

Find the right moment to distance yourself at the cost of a big wound. Ready to build up his momentum and release the flying slash to try, Rayleigh also let Noah accumulate his strength, but he was still a little distracted when he saw the overlord color entangled, it was an old man's memory.

The red dragon-shaped sword energy flew out, with astonishing power. Rayleigh also had to take it very seriously, radiate his knowledge in front of him, feel the composition of the Red Dragon Sword Qi within the limit of time, then open his eyes and draw the sword. The sword energy was dismembered like a cook dismembering a cow, and the scattered sword energy tore apart the surrounding area within a hundred meters.

Even though he thought that his sword energy would be of no use to the great swordsman, Noah still didn't expect such a cracking method, so he gritted his teeth and continued.

Chapter 43 Looking for Zefa

As the sun set, Noah leaned weakly against the pit and gasped for breath with the word "Wado" in hand. There are all kinds of things on his body, and there is not a good piece of meat in sight. This old guy is really vicious.

On the opposite side, Lei Li was no longer calm. He also had a few cuts on his body and a lot of sweat on his head. Although the great swordsman suppresses the swordsman from above, Noah is not an ordinary swordsman. His many magical kendo operations opened Rayleigh's eyes a lot. The old man was sitting on the stone reminiscing about his youth. It has only been 8 years since he retired, and his strength has still declined a bit. He was actually made so embarrassed by a young man.

"Your level of swordsmanship is very good. If you keep going, you will be the next great swordsman. If you are domineering, you have also broken through in the battle just now. Physical fitness cannot be broken through overnight. You can take it slowly. Your overall level is close to the top level of combat power. Don't Too impatient, I don’t have the strength at your age.”

Noah also reflected on the battle just now. The current level of Rayleigh's strength has not declined much, and he still has top-notch combat power. The reason why Lei Li was a little embarrassed later was because the other party didn't kill him. It is really difficult for swordsmen to keep their hands in a duel. But one of the goals, breaking through the domineering bottleneck, was achieved. Then we can talk about the next goal.

After the fight, Rayleigh was in a generally comfortable mood. He hadn't used a sword for a long time, and he was quite happy to spar with a swordsman with good swordsmanship.

"Brother Noah, now we can talk about coating a batch of ships. This matter shouldn't be that simple. You can't possibly form a large caravan heading to Fish-Man Island."

"I want to go to Mariegioa to take some people home, so I'm short of a few convenient boats."

Yes, Noah's response method was to use a coated boat to sneak to the edge of the red continent. Inspired by Whitebeard's tactics in the later top battle. The goal of the large fleet is too big, and the world government will not allow it to approach the Red Earth Continent. They simply use coatings to allow the ships to move underwater. With the help of the fishmen, this underwater movement is not a problem at all. Resurface at the last moment of contact and then retreat.

While making a fuss about Mariejoia, it is also crucial to free the slaves. If the coating of a large number of ships is to be concealed from the World Government, it can only be carried out in the windless zone. Rayleigh, the coating master who can enter the windless zone at will, is a very key figure.

"Marie Joa, that's not an ordinary place. Brother, have you really thought about it?"

"Think about it, someone has to do some things, right?"

"Is it just coating?"

"Yes. Just coating."

Looking at Noah's sincere eyes, Rayleigh felt strange in his heart. He didn't expect that in such a big event, this guy would actually come to me because of the coating. What a little bit of a loss.

"Then I'll take the job. Just write me the location and time in advance."

Noah was quite happy to get the coating master Lao Lei. Before coming here, he was not sure whether Rayleigh would agree to get involved in such a troublesome matter, so he was very happy to get a positive answer.

The two of them continued to swim back to the Shampoo Islands. Looking at Noah who was injured all over, Robin accused the coating master Rayleigh with silent eyes. Rayleigh was uncomfortable looking at him. It was Noah who had to fight for it himself, okay? Blame me.

After staying at Xia Qi's blackmail BAR for a week, Noah, Lei Li and the others said goodbye. The information he got from Xia Qi on key figures was time-sensitive, and he couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Before leaving, Xia Qi asked Noah worriedly

"Are you sure you won't be arrested? Those crazy plans of yours are irreconcilable to those who maintain the order of the sea."

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure. I've had contact with him before and he's a very good person."

"On the sea, being a good person is not a good thing. What I want to say is, if something happens to you, remember to cover Robin and run away first, you know."

Noah rolled his eyes and took Robin to the port without replying.

Standing at the door of the bar, Leiley and Xia Qi looked at Noah's back, thinking about something.

"People are really crazy in the ocean now. If this guy doesn't die this time, he may really change the world."

Lei Li and Xia Qi returned to the bar and continued their lives, quietly waiting for the year 1509 of the Haiwan calendar.

The Voyager is sailing smoothly on the sea. It is now the time for the great writer Adam to be online. The target is Long Chain Island and the target person is Zefa.

This time, the great writer Adam plans to have a chance encounter with the new warship led by Zefa. According to Xia Qi's information, Zefa is now leading the navy recruit battalion to clean up pirates near Long Chain Island. It is unclear when he will go to the next sea area, so Noah set off in a hurry.

Within two days, I arrived near Changlian Island. I didn't land on the island, but just wandered around, exuding a sense of knowledge and domineering from time to time to sense the nearby information.

Suddenly I sensed a burning ship in front of me, and when I got closer, I saw that it was a pirate ship that had been burned a lot. The pirates above have all disappeared, and the traces of shelling can be seen from the only remaining ship, and there are also scars from swords on the ship. It should have been forced to a halt by shelling first, and then the boarding battle was completely defeated, and all the pirates on the ship were taken away.

That's right, Zefa's recruit ship should have done it. In terms of firepower, only warships can produce it. The combat power of the navy recruit camp is also very strong. In the end, the enemy was captured without killing the general and brought back to the nearby naval base. Something wrong.

Heading at full speed to the nearby naval base, the base is located on a large island. The naval base has its own port, so Noah had to park the ship in a nearby town port. Fortunately, the nearest base is not a base starting with G, otherwise you would not be able to enter that kind of fortress.

When we entered the town, we found that it was really prosperous and peaceful. Places with a naval base are different. Unless the Tianlong people come for a walk, there is generally nothing to worry about.

When passing by the naval port, no new recruit ships were seen. I wonder if Zefa has not come to this base to take over and rest, or is still hunting down pirates on the sea. It just depends on luck.

After going to the hotel to book two rooms, put down the luggage, and started to make some preparations. At least let the people on the island and the navy know that the great writer Mr. Adam is here to collect stories.

Recently, "Water Margin" is about to be serialized. Not everyone likes the second half of the novel, so everyone is looking forward to Mr. Adam's new interesting novel. After knowing that Adam is coming, many readers have come forward to think about it. Talk to Mr. Adam. Noah also obeyed public opinion and held a small reader exchange meeting, during which some officers from the nearby naval base also came.

The event went very smoothly. Mr. Adam said that the theme of the next film has not been determined yet. If you have any suggestions, you can write to the World Economic News newspaper to see what everyone thinks.

After the event, Adam kept up his appearance, writing and drawing everywhere in his notebook. Finally, Zefa arrived.

It was relatively smooth for Zefa to bring the new soldiers out to clean up the pirates this time. There were many pirates imprisoned on the ship. This time, they could go back to the base to hand over the pirates and then return to Ma Linfanduo.

After getting off the ship, he was in a good mood. When the person in charge of the base here told him that Mr. Adam happened to be collecting scenery on the island, Zefa's expression became a little subtle.

He felt that he had been unable to get rid of this guy since he met Adam. It was luck the first time, so the conversation went a little deeper and he was immediately hooked. The second time, he deliberately avoided going to the task, and someone even wrote him a word of encouragement to help him clear up his confusion. Is it really lucky to come here for the third time?

Zefa thought for a while, whether it was luck or not, it had nothing to do with him. He was just here to hand over the pirates, and he would leave after the supplies were completed. Then, I received an invitation and a letter from Adam in the afternoon. The letter stated that the final chapter of "Water Margin" had been written, but he was not satisfied with it, so he accidentally learned that Mr. Zefa was also on the island, and wanted to invite this senior reader to taste it together and give some opinions.

The reason is very normal, and the ending of "Water Margin" is also very tempting. Zefa thinks that he has figured out the justice he insists on before, so he is not afraid of Adam's temptation. So what if he goes, he is a dignified former navy general, and he can still be afraid. No.

The last time he avoided the mission, Zefa felt a little ashamed when he recalled it, so this time he would go to the meeting alone.

Chapter 44 Convincing Zefa

In a private restaurant, Zefa met Mr. Adam. In his perception, Mr. Adam had become stronger. Is this really the strength a writer should have?

I waved my hand to the waiter in the restaurant to serve the food. The food was not very delicious, but it was quite exquisite. The two of them were eating and chatting about the plot of the novel. Yes, there were two of them. Noah asked Robin to go back to the boat first so that he could run away if the talks broke down later.

"Mr. Adam, is it really impossible to recruit people?"

"Mr. Zefa, do you think that after the resistance forces have been recruited, do the top people in the country really trust them? No, they only believe in themselves. If they expand a little further, they will only trust the top people who have the same interests as themselves. So trust starts from It didn't exist in the first place.

Do those who have been recruited sincerely want to follow the ruler? No, it won't. It's just that due to reality, being recruited is a helpless move. I am temporarily convinced and will wait for the future.

The two sides are not of the same class, and there is no basis for cooperation and cooperation. If you want to tear up the nominal things, you can tear them up. After recruiting, it will be a matter of who has better means. "

When Zefa heard what Adam said, he also understood that the Shichibukai system is just to find a few careerists to make superficial appearances and disrupt the pirate camp. When one day it is no longer needed, these cancers of the sea can be pulled out at any time.

What about civilians? On this chessboard there is the world government, the alliance countries, the navy, and the Shichibukai. But the civilians among them have no place, so what should we do? Zefa was a little confused and asked this question to Noah.

"What are civilians to those people on the sea?"

Noah's rhetorical question made Zefa a little unable to answer, or he knew the answer but didn't want to say it.

"For these classes, civilians can be consumables, and they can be replenished after use. Civilians can be the cornerstones, the stones that build their own ambitions. Civilians can be a series of numbers, just look at them. Civilians can even They can be slaves, because even their lives are a gift from the superior, so what’s the use of dignity and freedom?”

Noah's words once again tore Zefa's heart apart. There were no words of blame, but it seemed that behind Noah there were countless people pointing at Zefa and cursing: Aren't you a righteous navy? Why can't you save me? Why can't I save my child?

"call"

Zefa let out a breath of air and looked at Adam.

"You are by no means as simple as a writer. Who are you? You have appeared in front of me several times. Do I dare not arrest you?"

Zefa's fists have been clenched, and there is no good feast.

"I am just a person who wants to stand up the common people in the sea and bring down those who are high up. I wonder if you have read the book I gave you last time? It is the book "Reforming the Four Seas" Start with small things.”

These words made Zefa's breath hitch.

In fact, Zefa has read the entire book by himself, and verified it through the information on the naval system. The contents are basically consistent, and some of the methods for solving problems are also amazing.

There were several times when I communicated with Staff Officer He that the ideas he conveyed unintentionally surprised the Chief of Staff, who was known for his wisdom. Lian Lian lamented that Zefa has become enlightened as he gets older. In fact, all his thoughts are in this book.

Zefa really couldn't understand how a young man, even a well-known writer, could understand people's livelihood, public security, and institutional issues so thoroughly, and some of his plans were very mature. This is the torrent of the times brought about by souls that have gathered the wisdom of the previous world.
