Chapter 126 Smoker, you are drifting
"I didn't have the chance to taste the authentic divine wine, but even if I had the chance, I might not dare to taste it," Li De continued.

"Why is this?" Mihawk was very confused.

"Because according to rumors, even just one drop of the authentic divine wine can intoxicate the soul. Anyone who has drunk the divine wine will be intoxicated by it. In order to taste it again, they will not hesitate to do anything, whether it is burning, killing, looting, or anything else. In other words, anyone who fails to pass the test of the divine wine becomes a slave to the wine."

After listening to Li De's explanation, Mihawk's breathing became a little faster.

"Don't even think about it. Even defective products are becoming extinct, let alone genuine products." Li De added.

"Is that so? What a pity." Mihawk couldn't help but feel a little disappointed upon hearing that.

Because he felt that if he could get a chance to be tested, perhaps his will would be strengthened again.

"Don't be so disappointed. You should know that you are able to drink this wine, which means you have surpassed more than 99.9999% of the people in the world. If this is not intuitive enough, let me put it another way. Even the Five Elders who control the World Government do not have the honor of drinking this wine." Li De said with a smile.

"None of the Five Elders have ever drunk it. Isn't this a collection of the Celestial Dragons?" Mihawk asked in surprise.

"I'm not a Celestial Dragon. Besides, those idiots with heads full of shit are naturally arrogant. How could they lower themselves to invite you for a drink?" Li De said, spreading his hands.

"Indeed!" Mihawk did not deny this.

You have to know that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are merely minions of the World Government. How could they possibly gain recognition from the Celestial Dragons and become guests of honor?

"Would you like some more wine?"

While chatting, Mihawk had emptied his glass without realizing it, so Reed asked this question.

"No, I may not be able to taste any wine I drink in a short period of time." Mihawk shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, it will be fine after a while." Li De laughed immediately after hearing this. After all, he had this experience before.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know who you are!" Mihawk then asked.

"Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sid, and I'm the captain of the Masked Pirates." Reed couldn't help but slap his forehead and said.

"Sid, I'll remember you. That's all for today. I hope we can meet again next time." After saying that, Mihawk stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't expect me to treat you to this kind of wine next time we meet. By the way, are you leaving Donghai now?" Li De asked casually.

"Yeah, I plan to return to the Grand Line." Mihawk nodded.

"Stay a few more days." Li De tried to persuade him to stay.

"Why?" Mihawk looked at Reed and asked.

"There is a swordsman in the East China Sea you should meet." Li De said.

"Very strong?" Mihawk asked with his eyes lighting up. After all, he was the person recommended by Li De.

"Very weak, but I personally think that in the next era, he is probably the only one who can challenge you." Li De said slowly.

"The next era?" Mihawk's eyes revealed a serious look.

"The last era was the original pirate era when the Rocks Pirates and their remnants were rampant. This era is the great pirate era opened up by Roger and dominated by Whitebeard. The death of Whitebeard will usher in the next era. He is old, isn't he?" Li De said with a hint of mystery.

"Who is the person you recommend?" Mihawk did not continue to delve into this topic, but changed the subject.

"Roronoa Zoro, a well-known 'pirate hunter' in the East China Sea." Reed said with a smile.

"'Pirate Hunter'?" After saying that, Mihawk headed straight towards his coffin ship.

"BOSS, this man is really strong." Delta looked at Mihawk who was going away, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Forget it, Delta. This man is a pure swordsman. And among the members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is the only one I can stand." Li De waved his hand and said.

"Forget it then!" Delta immediately relaxed his momentum.

"Kalina, what are you doing?" Beta suddenly asked from behind Delta.

"My sisters have all tasted the best wine, I want to try it too! Even though it's a little bland, it's better than nothing." Kalina rinsed the wine glass with water and then poured it all into her mouth.

Including Li De, all the girls were amused by Kalina's behavior.

But Kalina herself didn't care, because she knew that if she missed this time, she would not have the next chance to taste it before leaving.

After the little episode, the Pure White Knight had a smooth journey and arrived at Rogue Town three days later.

Like other pirates, the Pure White Knight did not sail into the port, but instead aimed at the deserted coast of Rogue Town from the beginning.

After docking, no one from Li De's group stayed behind to look after the ship, and they all went ashore.

As for whether someone would come to steal things on the ship while he was away, Li De was not worried about it at all.

Zeta alone can rely on his thunderous ability to monitor the White Knight at any time. If there are really blind people, they will probably be struck by lightning and doubt their lives before they even reach the White Knight.

After getting ashore, they went their separate ways. After removing her makeup, Karina went to the Navy branch to exchange the bounty of the Creek Pirates and purchase personal necessities.

Li De and others went to the square together. After all, since they had come to Rogue Town, how could they not visit the execution platform, a popular check-in spot?

But after going there, Li De didn't feel anything from the execution platform which was already a little mottled.

After all, things have changed and people have changed. Of course, if Li De is willing to wait for ten days or half a month, he can watch the second smiling execution from a close distance.

But this means nothing to Li De.

It's okay to take a look if you come across it, but there's no need to wait for it on purpose.

After leaving the Rogue Town Square, the group strolled around, bought some special ingredients, and looked around to see if there was anything they could take back as gifts for Alpha and the others.

After they had finished their tour, Li De led the girls back towards the coast.

By the time we arrived at the White Knight, Kalina had already returned and had even changed her clothes.

"So soon? I thought I had to wait for you for a while." Li De couldn't help but say after seeing Kalina.

"There is no way we can let the Captain and the sisters wait for me." Kalina simply shook her head and said.

"Are there no shops worth visiting in Rogue Town?" Li De asked casually.

"Not really, but there's no need. Anyway, after entering the Grand Line, we need to let the recording pointer store the magnetic field at every island. Then we will have enough time to carefully select." Kalina did not hide the real reason.

"Yes, generally speaking, as long as it is not a special island, the recording pointer needs to be stored for a few days." Li De nodded when he heard this.

"Captain, it's time for us to set off. If we are any later it will be difficult to see the mountain currents clearly." Kalina couldn't help but remind him.

"Then let's set sail." Li De nodded and said.

"Master, there is a ship heading this way. The mark on the sail is the navy!" Zeta seemed to sense something, and then he flashed to the observation deck and passed the voice down. "Navy?!" Kalina was not afraid at the moment, but she felt it was incredible. After all, the port of Rogue Town was not here.

You know, in order to avoid the navy, Kalina chose to dock here specifically because this place is separated from the port by an entire island.

"Are they here specifically to arrest us?" Claire asked with a question in her voice, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

"Sister Claire, that's impossible. After all, we haven't been bountied yet. We must have encountered a routine cruise this time. After all, Rogue Town is the nearest island to the entrance to the Grand Line. Pirate groups that want to enter the Grand Line will most likely come to the island for their final replenishment. When it's inconvenient to enter the port, it's basic common sense to dock along the coastline." Kalina shook her head and explained.

"BOSS, what should we do now? Kill them?" Delta looked at Li De.

"There's no need to bother with a bunch of trash. Anyway, with the speed of the Pure White Knight, the other party can't catch up. Let's just set sail for the Grand Line." After sensing it, Li De shook his head.

After all, it is only a matter of time before you become famous, there is no need to use a bunch of weaklings as stepping stones.

"Understood. Let's set sail."

After Li De made the decision, the group started to get busy.

As the Pure White Knight raised its sails and slowly left the coast, the warships in the distance had come much closer.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Along with the sound, the black shells whistled towards the Pure White Knight from far away.

It's a pity that it didn't hit the Pure White Knight and was still some distance away from the ship.

And this is the shortest distance between the two. After all, once the Pure White Knight officially enters the sailing state, with its lighter hull, it is simply impossible for the bulky warship to catch up.

In just less than a minute, the distance between the Pure White Knight and the warship was more than ten meters.

"Master, someone is chasing us." Zeta's voice suddenly sounded.

"Someone is catching up with us? Who is so fearless of death?" Ipsilon looked back curiously and saw a white smoke approaching quickly.

"The owner of the natural smoke fruit is Smoker, the 'White Hunter', a colonel of the Navy Headquarters in Rogue Town. No wonder he is so brave." Beta saw through the other party's identity at a glance.

"Are you so arrogant because there are few people in the East China Sea who are so domineering?" Victoria said with disdain.

“No, it’s probably because he hasn’t received a beating from a powerful person who is proficient in domineering power.” Claire also said.

"Then let him take a beating this time, so that he won't think that the natural system is really invincible." Li De immediately added.

"Sid, are you going to do it yourself?" Claire asked in surprise.

"Sister Claire, if a pirate group puts a bounty on its crew members first, the captain will lose face." Kalina, who was at the helm, gave the reason for Reed's action.

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the women immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

"Pirates, you are arrested. Stop the ship and surrender, so you will suffer less." A minute later, Smoker, who turned into smoke, came to the deck and said loudly with a cigar in his mouth.

"You must be Smoker, the naval colonel 'White Hunter' from Rogue Town. Please introduce me formally," Reed stepped forward and said. Unfortunately, Smoker attacked him impatiently before he started talking.

After all, he had seen the pirate flag pattern on the Pure White Knight, but it was obvious that he had no impression of it.

In other words, this pirate group, like most pirate groups in the past twenty years, is an unknown one.

He has defeated many pirate groups like this one. After all, they were not even worthy of being put on the bounty list, so how could they be so strong?

Not to mention that except for one man, all the others on the boat were women.

I'm not introducing this kind of trash yet. Don't you know that what I hate most are those who pretend to be something.

Well, although Smoker is very straight, I believe that no matter whether he is straight or not, any man would be extremely unhappy when seeing this situation of a man and many women obviously having a harem.

When he saw Smoker's fist directly hitting his face, Reed got a little angry.

Reed slightly tilted his head to avoid Smoker's white fist, and disappeared from the spot in an instant after a puff.

Seeing this scene, Smoker's pupils suddenly shrank, because he recognized this move as [Shave] from the Navy's Six Styles.

He was about to step on the spot with his feet, but before he could take the first step, Li De's figure appeared behind him.

So fast!

Sensing the aura that Reed deliberately released, Smoker wanted to turn his head, and his other hand had already touched the ten-hand grip on his back.

"too slow!"

As the sound rang out, Smoker felt that the scene in front of his eyes suddenly accelerated. After a bang, severe pain spread from his cheek, followed by a feeling of weakness from touching the sea water.

What happened? !
"Hey, Mr. 'White Hunter', do you have time to listen to what I have to say now?" Reed's voice sounded in Smoker's ears again.

"Who are you?" With his cheek slightly deformed and pressed against the deck, the pain kept reminding him that the man who suppressed him was very strong. Smoker finally wanted to know Reed's identity.

"My name is Sid, and I'm the captain of the Masked Pirates." Reed replied with a smile.

"Why would a man like you appear in the East China Sea? Why would a strong man like you remain unknown?" Smoker continued to ask, gritting his teeth.

"I just chose the East China Sea as the starting point. After all, this is where the legend of Pirate King Roger began. As for being unknown, that's normal. After all, I am the type who plans before I act. How could I rashly go out to sea without being prepared?" Reed answered Smoker with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Smoker made an instant judgment that this type of man who endures forbearance is very dangerous!
"How do you know the Six Types of the Navy?" Smoker wanted to get some more information, but unfortunately, Reed would not answer.

"Sorry, I have asked three questions. As a consulting fee, I will give you this weapon. Remember not to be so reckless next time you hunt someone. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a natural ability user? If you meet someone who knows how to be domineering, you will be taught a lesson by me in no time.

It's understandable that you don't understand Haki, after all, it's not easy to awaken Haki. But the fruit ability is completely undeveloped, which is a waste of this natural element. Smoke is something that should be developed in a toxic and harmful direction. Black smoke is the most deadly. Have you never felt that the title of "White Hunter" is ironic?

Read more books when you have nothing to do. Even if you don't want to study, you should ask scientists like Caesar about the direction of ability development. The East China Sea is still too comfortable. Except for Garp who occasionally returns to the Kingdom of Goa, you, the strongest navy, are only at this level. It's really disappointing. This place is really only suitable for retirement."

After listening to what Reed said, Smoker opened his mouth but said nothing, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

I don't understand why Li De told him how to develop the ability of the fruit.

However, Li De did not give him time to think about it.

With a bang, Reed knocked Smoker unconscious with one punch.

"Sid, you seem to admire him very much?" Claire came over and asked.

"Well, I guess so. Although he has a bad temper, he is a nice person, but that's not the main reason." As he said that, Reed picked up Smoker, and then threw him back towards the warship behind with great force.

"Sid, what is the main reason?" Claire asked curiously.

"Leave a more friendly impression and don't ask any more questions. After all, this casual layout may not be useful." Li De said with a smile.
