Chapter 124 The man with the bad luck of the king
You know, when Reed summoned her, she was having dinner in a tavern on an island in the Grand Line.

"The risk shouldn't be as big as you think. After all, the pirate group I founded is called the Masked Pirates." Li De said with a smile.

Hearing this, Karina looked up at the place where Reed pointed, and noticed the conspicuous skull with half of its face covered by a mask in the center of the huge pirate group logo on the raised sail.

"Captain, I will do my best to serve you, but I don't know when you will send me the mask. Sisters, does anyone of you have hair dyeing products or wigs? I was summoned here temporarily, and all my belongings were left in the Grand Line." Kalina said immediately.

"Come with me, I have wigs and masks here." Beta took over the topic and led Kalina into the cabin.

When she came out again, Kalina was wearing a black butterfly mask, and her purple hair was covered by her long orange hair.

At this moment, the dining table has been set up on the deck, and the food and wine are ready.

"Let's welcome Kalina!" After Kalina took her seat, Li De raised his glass and said.

"Welcome, Kalina!" the women said in unison.

"Thank you everyone!" Kalina said as she raised the red wine glass in front of her.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

After the cheerful banquet, the women took their positions as Kalina requested.

Li De, who came to the rudder next to Kalina, shouted loudly: "Boys, adjust the sail, loosen the sail lock and the sail foot lock, pull up the floating halyard, we are sailing!"

"Oh!"

"Captain, where is your first stop?" After setting sail, Kalina came to Li De and asked.

"I heard that there is a sea restaurant in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea. I want to go and try it out." Li De said.

"Understood. I'll adjust the course right away." After saying that, Kalina turned the rudder and sailed in a certain direction.

Not long after sailing, Kalina said with a hint of surprise: "Captain, your ship is very different!"

Not far away, Li De, who was being fed by Claire on a recliner, heard this and asked, "What's unusual about it?"

"The speed is very brisk, and it feels like sailing a small sailboat." Kalina said slowly while steering the boat.

"Your feeling is correct. I asked an expert to customize this boat, but it cost a lot of money." Li De did not elaborate.

"I see!" Kalina nodded when she heard that.

"Kalina, tell Beta and the others what they need to pay attention to when steering the ship. After all, we have to change people eventually," Li De reminded them.

"I understand!" Kalina had actually wanted to ask someone to change shifts a long time ago.

Then Kalina told Zeta, Beta, Victoria and Ipsilon who came over to her about the things they needed to pay attention to when steering.

Delta was training on the deck at the moment, and after feeding Reed, Claire also started training.

After a while, Kalina came to Li De and looked at the girls who were exercising on the deck and said, "Captain, you girls are really hardworking."

"You are too lazy." Li De said after giving Kalina a blank look.

"Uh" Kalina was a little speechless.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Reed asked Kalina.

"Hehe, Captain, can you let my sisters teach me?" Kalina asked in a low voice.

"Isn't your motto that women must survive by wisdom?" Li De asked a little curiously.

"But isn't it better to have both beauty and strength? In the past..." Kalina was interrupted by Li De just when she said this.

"Okay, just tell them what you want to learn. Except for the domineering power that must be awakened to practice, they will not hold anything back from you. As for how much you can learn, it depends on you." Li De waved his hand and closed his eyes to continue meditating.

"I understand, Sister Delta, can you teach me?" Kalina immediately stood up and walked towards Delta.

It must be said that Kalina was very good at observing people's words and expressions. She saw at a glance that among all the women on the ship, only Delta didn't care about her getting close to the mysterious captain, so she chose Delta who would not be prejudiced against her.

In fact, Kalina didn't know. If she chose other people, she would probably just suffer a little bit by being too harsh. As long as she didn't take the initiative to seduce Li De, Claire and others would not do anything excessive.

After all, she was no match for Alexia and had no right to make the other girls hostile to her.

Three days later, under Kalina's command, the Pure White Knight accurately found the sea restaurant Barati.

Although they saw the pirate ship approaching, the people in the sea restaurant were not panicked. After all, they had entertained more than one or two pirates since they opened.

For the chefs at Bharati, no matter who you are, as long as you can pay, you are a customer.

But if someone comes to cause trouble, we'll have to see who has the harder fist.

Of course, this kind of situation doesn't happen often, because the navy from nearby comes here to spend money every few days.

In fact, ordinary pirate groups basically do not come to this sea area. After all, this is not a common shipping route, there are no inhabited islands nearby, and they may encounter naval warships if they are not careful.

This kind of place with no money is not worth visiting at all.

As for Barati, it is just a small restaurant. How much money can it have? If the robbery is successful, what they will get are probably mostly ingredients and seasonings.

Who would come all the way here and do something stupid for no reason?

After the boat was docked, Li Decai led his men down from the boat.

After entering the restaurant, Li Deke did not sit in the lobby on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor.

"Excuse me, ladies, what may I do for you?" A blond man with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a black double-breasted suit, tie and white shirt, came over and asked in a very gentle voice.

"Hehe, handsome boy, can you introduce us to the signature dishes of your restaurant?" Seeing that the other girls had no intention of talking to the waiter, Kalina took the initiative to take over the topic.

"Beautiful lady, it's my honor!" Along with the voice, Sanji immediately came to Karina and said.

When Li De saw this scene, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. Kalina's role was not only reflected in navigation, but also in external communication. It was indeed the right decision to bring her here.

After some introductions, Kalina completed the order after consulting with others.

While waiting for the food to be served, Sanji came over with a rose in his mouth.

"Beautiful lady, your every smile and frown has deeply moved me. I wonder if I have the honor to know your name." After presenting the rose, Sanji asked Karina.

"Of course, my gentlemanly knight, my name is Nami, and I'm the navigator of the Masked Pirates." Kalina replied.

Phew. Cough cough
Li De was so amused by the questions and answers between the two that he couldn't help laughing.

"Excuse me, is there anything so funny?" Sanji immediately asked unhappily.

After all, Li De was surrounded by beauties, and he was so envious and jealous.

"It's indeed a bit funny. After all, I never thought that the third son of Vinsmoke Judge would be so frivolous. After all, he is a descendant of the former King of the North Sea and currently the prince of a member country. How come he acts as if he has never seen a woman?" Reed ridiculed Sanji without any hesitation.

"Don't mention that man's name to me. I have nothing to do with him." Sanji's face became gloomy when he heard that.

"Then please don't harass my crew, okay?" Li De replied neither softly nor harshly.

"Sorry to bother you!" Upon hearing this, Sanji looked at Li De deeply, but then relaxed his tense body, said the words of apology, and turned and left.

After Sanji left, Reed couldn't help but give Kalina a cold look, and thought to himself, if you use your little sister as a cover like this, if you get wanted, when you meet again in the future, she will probably pounce on you and tear your mouth apart.

But to be honest, Kalina with the orange wig really does look like Nami's half-sister.

But Li De did not say this.

Without Sanji's harassment, Reed and others enjoyed a pleasant meal.

Until he left, Li De did not see Sanji again.

Outside a room in Barati, Red-legged Zeff looked at the closed door and couldn't help but say, "Sanji."

"Old man, I want to be alone!" A voice came from the room. After leaving Barati, the White Knight headed straight for Rogue Town.

In fact, according to the speculation of those fanatical fans in the past, there was a gap of 156 days between Luffy's departure and the start of the Marineford War, which is a little more than 5 months.

Luffy set out from Windmill Village on May 5th and met Alrita on May 5th. They are almost reaching the Rare Beast Island now, so Reed doesn't need to rush.

After all, according to this calculation, the Battle of Marineford started around October 10th.

But for Li De, there was no point in staying in Donghai.

After all, the number of strong men appearing in the East China Sea is too limited, there are only Hawkeye, Garp and Dragon.

Instead of wasting time in the East China Sea, it would be better to find someone worth fighting against in the Grand Line.

If the first half is not satisfying, just go straight to the second half.

Because of this, Li De went straight to Rogue Town, intending to ride the mountain current directly into the Grand Line.

In fact, with the current strength of Li De and his group, there would be no problem even crossing the Calm Belt.

This is only my second time in the pirate world, but I haven't even tried a mountain climbing or ocean current ride. I always feel like it's a wasted trip.

After sailing towards Rogue Town for three days, Zeta on the watchtower suddenly said, "Ships spotted ahead!"

"Where is the ship? Is it a pirate group?" Karina, who was exercising, immediately asked.

Three days had passed since Kalina began formal training, but to her it felt longer than three years.

During the three days on the journey to Barati, Kalina did not receive any training, but instead gave the girls some sailing training.

After all, as Li De said, if you want to reap, you must first sow.

So if you want to learn knowledge, you must first pay for it.

It was because of the three days of training given to the girls that Kalina’s formal training was able to begin after leaving Bharati.

After starting training, Kalina finally realized that becoming stronger was not that easy.

In addition to physical training during these three days, Kalina had to undergo practical training every day. During these three days, she was knocked unconscious by the women in turn no less than twenty times a day.

If Victoria hadn't used her divine magic to heal her, she would have been lying in bed unable to get up.

So when she heard there was a boat, Kalina was so excited.

Temporarily avoiding training was only one reason, the other was that she was almost going crazy with poverty.

And it was only a few days before they arrived at Rogue Town. If they didn't encounter the pirates, they would have to steal money if they wanted to buy something in Rogue Town.

After hanging out with Reed and his crew for a few days, although Karina didn't mind stealing, she always felt that stealing money under the identity of the Masked Pirates would bring shame to Reed and the others, and she would definitely be punished.

Therefore, she has been longing to meet the pirate group these days. After all, if she does meet them, the spoils will belong to her as Li De said, and she can make a small fortune.

Because no matter whether there is treasure on the pirate ship, as long as there is a bounty on the pirate ship, the bounty on the heads can solve the urgent problem.

"It's the pirate group! And they have discovered us, and they seem quite excited." Zeta's voice came down.

"That's good! Let me see who the other party is." Kalina said as she ran to the outside of the cockpit where the top helm was sitting with a telescope.

"Kalina, who is the other party?" Beta, who was at the helm, asked.

"That mark belongs to the pirate group of Admiral Creek of the East China Sea! But didn't the newspaper say a while ago that they had already gone to the Grand Line? How come they appear here?" Kalina said a little puzzled at this moment.

"The Creek Pirates?" Li De knew why this pirate group appeared here.

That's because he encountered Hawkeye Mihawk and was slashed when he just entered the Grand Line. Unable to defeat him, he forced his way across the Calm Belt and ran back to the East China Sea.

Even Hawkeye had no intention of letting them go and had already chased them to the East China Sea.

It would be fine if there was a deep hatred between the two, but Hawkeye just did it because he was bored.

It can be said that Creek is definitely the most unlucky captain in the first half of the Pirates story, no doubt about it.

"BOSS, can we hunt?" Delta came to Li De's side and asked.

"Zeta has said that the other party is very excited, so let them be more excited." Li De said immediately.

"I understand, Boss!" Delta said, then turned around and prepared to leave.

But before he could leave, Reed called him: "Wait, Delta!"

"BOSS, do you have any other instructions?" Delta looked at Li De again after hearing that.

"There should be a man named Ajin on Creek's ship. Don't kill him. Also, don't sink the ship, at least don't let it sink before Kalina collects the spoils." Li De said slowly.

"Yes, Boss. I will be careful to hold back." Delta nodded.

After saying that, Delta walked to the bow in a few steps, then half-crouched on the spot and began to accumulate strength.

The next second, with the power of Delta, the bow of the Pure White Knight began to tilt forward.

Just when the stern of the ship was lifted up to a height of several meters, Delta soared into the sky with the help of the rebound force.

After drawing a long arc, it landed on Creek's bow with a bang.

"what happened?"

"Someone jumped over from the other ship!"

"He jumped over! How is that possible? We are still at least two kilometers away from him!"

"That's right, the ship's guns haven't even entered the firing range yet!"

"I encountered a monster again!"

"Mummy!"

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"

Bang!
Just as chaotic noises were rising and falling on the deck, the huge movement at the bow made the entire ship unconsciously quiet down.

"Who is Ajin?" Delta asked in a low voice after jumping out of the hole in the bow.

"It's me. Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" When Ajin heard someone calling his name, he stood up without thinking.

"You are Ajin?!" Delta confirmed.

"I am Ajin!" Ajin replied.

"According to the boss's order, everyone except Ajin must... die!" When Delta said the word death, the figure had already disappeared at the bow of the ship.

The next second, as blood mist exploded on the deck and belated wails sounded, everyone realized what had happened.

"Help!"

"monster!"

"Damn it, why..Ah!"

"Where's Captain Creek!"

"The captain's head is flying off too!"

"I surrender, spare my life!"

"The boss takes no prisoners!"
