The Warrior of Love

But at this moment, he finally regained his previous feeling, the high-spirited state of being soaked in sweat, with fire burning in his body and his body as hard as iron!

go ahead! go ahead!

The new breathing method he had acquired was taking effect unconsciously, adjusting his breathing efficiency while swimming, allowing the air rushing into his lungs to be burned more thoroughly, and the blood flowing in his body became hotter.

The druid secrets learned in Chiron can now also be used in the world of One Piece.

Although it is not as rich as the other world where gods descended, this world does have free magic, or natural energy!

(According to the setting, magic power is divided into two types: the one that circulates in nature and the one that circulates in living things.

Basically, the "Big Source and Small Source" system of Type-Moon can be applied. Jiang Liu's Druid Mysticism has been adjusted by "The Universal Codex", which is to naturally transform the Big Source o into the Small Source o itself.)

Seawater is a better medium than the atmosphere, and the seawater here is even more special. It can not only give birth to such huge sea kings, but also create all kinds of incredible natural phenomena, and even restrain the ability of devil fruits.

He continued to practice the Druid's secret technique, and the energy consumed was replenished by the absorbed energy. It passed through his body along the breathing route, constantly stimulating the blood and muscles, and his bones also creaked under the pressure.

A wonderful balance was formed between the two - but it was soon broken.

The speed of the river was increasing. With the human's swimming style, its speed exceeded that of any kind of fish, even the mermaids who were known as the fastest in the water could not catch up. A white sword-like edge was formed that almost split the sea surface in two.

The speed at which he absorbed natural energy also increased by leaps and bounds, like a beast that had broken through the shackles and cage and was no longer bound!

Gradually, a wonderful ripple began to spread around him. It was very different from ordinary waves. It was as gorgeous and complex as a mandala. However, as soon as the ripples appeared, they were broken up by the waves he created before anyone could appreciate them...

But if you raise your perspective and look down from the sky, you will find that a strange ripple area has formed on the sea surface within a radius of one kilometer with the river as the center, and even covers the original waves, making the sea surface subtly "calm".

As the river flows forward, this area also moves forward, like a pen tip moving slowly on a canvas called the ocean...but the scope of influence is getting larger and larger.

Drawing natural energy from the boundless ocean, it is like a roc soaring in the sky, its wings floating and rolling up the clouds, and its flapping wings shaking the nine heavens!

In the deep sea that he could not see, giant beasts sensed something strange and began to surface towards the shallow sea where they would not normally go, as if attracted by something.

The shadows of mountains slowly emerged from who knows how many meters below the water surface, and the strange shapes were frightening.

The size difference was too great, and even at Jiang Liu's current speed it was difficult to surpass the shadows of the giants. One of them might have been not far ahead of Jiang Liu, and happened to meet Jiang Liu face to face when he floated up.

When the sharp bone spurs penetrate the sea surface and the broad back lifts up tens of thousands of tons of sea water, pouring down from both sides like waterfalls, the scene is truly spectacular!

This is a sea king that is over 500 meters long, shaped like an anglerfish with a huge mouth. It can easily swallow a warship-class ship whole just by opening its mouth...

Just from the size, one can understand why even a powerful navy would not dare to set foot in this doldrums before a breakthrough in shipbuilding technology.

Because whether it is pirates, the Revolutionary Army or the World Government, they have to admit that the most powerful force on the ocean is always the ocean itself!

Apart from the unrivalled ocean currents, nothing better than the mountainous sea kings is the power of the ocean.

Perhaps it is the river current that attracts free energy, which is a very delicious food in the eyes of sea kings?

Such a huge creature opened its mouth wide to Jiang Liu, who couldn't even fill the gaps between his teeth, revealing his abyss-like throat and said -

"In the way!"

Jiang Liu, who was experiencing excitement and pleasure in endless training, gave a cold look to the giant beast that blocked his way. He suddenly exerted force on his muscles and flew out of the water like a cannonball.

As fast as lightning, he streaked across the sky and leaped onto the top of the giant beast with his agile figure.

Flowing cherry blossoms o heaven moving!

Just as the substantial domineering aura constitutes the most solid ground, pouring strength into it can obtain unimaginable propulsion force, and the man's figure fell at a speed faster than a meteor.

At the same time, he concentrated all his strength, and burned up the magic power comparable to the level of a military treasure in a breath.

"God Hand Crash!"

Amid the roar of the atmosphere, the terrifying wind pressure was condensed into a physical hammer, which directly pierced through the hard skull of the sea king. For a moment, blood, flesh and bone fragments splattered everywhere, and a large hole with a diameter of tens of meters gushed out a large amount of blood, instantly dyeing the sea surface red...

Chapter 211: Roadblock

Swim, breathe, fight, swim, breathe, fight—

This boring process is repeated over and over again, and all the energy consumed by the body is replenished by the absorbed free magic power, completely abandoning the traditional way of replenishing energy through eating.

All fatigue produced by the body is balanced with extraordinary endurance and physical strength. Without dragging the body down, it is constantly exerted on it to tap its potential.

There are quite a lot of sea kings attracted, and their species are also varied. Some of them can be associated with some familiar marine creatures in appearance, such as eels, octopuses, sea snakes, anglerfish, etc.

But some sea kings challenge human cognition. They look like a collection of kelp, or a chimera made up of several animals... Even someone as knowledgeable as Jiang Liu cannot recognize them.

From ordinary sea kings of one hundred meters to medium and large sea kings of three hundred, four hundred and six hundred meters, and even large sea kings of one thousand meters, there were no less than a hundred giant beasts trying to devour the river.

Different sea kings also have different abilities. In addition to their huge size, they also have common equipment such as toxins, tentacles, spikes, and shells. Some jellyfish and eels can also release strong bioelectric currents, which are strong enough to even penetrate the river's domineering defenses.

The worst time was when there were two large sea kings of eight or nine hundred meters in length in front and behind, and a giant beast over a thousand meters in length blocking the river!

That battle was extremely difficult even for Jiang Liu, because the size difference was so big that he had few ways to hurt him. Each attack had to be accompanied by a large amount of domineering energy to expand the damage area in order to make the sea king really hurt.

Not only did he use the Undead Slash and the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skill many times, he also took advantage of the gaps between the three sea kings, letting them collide with each other, giving himself an opportunity to successfully kill them.

But it was after this battle that another item was added to the record of him in the "Original Book of All Things":

Behemoth Attack A!

This made the subsequent battles much easier for him.

However, later on, a terrifying creature of incalculable length emerged from the deepest ocean, causing twists and turns in the war between humans and sea kings.

It is really difficult to calculate the length because of the perspective. If we face each other, the other person's body is far too large for the narrow human field of vision to accommodate, not to mention that most of it is buried in deep water...

Jiang Liu's observation Haki was expanded to its maximum, but he still couldn't see the whole picture of the monster, it was so huge!

It is definitely far more than a thousand meters in length. Intuitively, it is probably above five thousand meters. It is an absolute dominant creature!

This is the true master of the ocean, the incarnation of the sea god bred by these waters!

No one could deal with this kind of thing in the water. Even a strong stream like the river would not dare to start a fight with it.

Miraculously, the sea king did not actively attack Jiang Liu, but stared at him for a long time with its huge eyes comparable to a skyscraper, and finally returned to the deep sea without saying a word, leaving only a huge "gap" on the sea surface, into which tens of millions of tons of seawater poured...

After that, Jiang Liu never encountered another sea king, which made him vaguely understand that the overlord must have done something.

These sea kings are actually very intelligent, and most of them have some special means of communication. The overlord should be restraining its own kind in nearby waters.

This made Jiang Liu feel a little disappointed: he still wanted to upgrade "Giant Beast Attack" to EX.

However, after these few days and nights, the devil fruit curse on him could no longer be felt, and his water combat skills had been honed to the highest level, and his adventurer's abilities had been pushed to the limit.

lv3, full ability value EX!

Now he only lacks one great achievement to advance to level 4, and he has a hunch that he can obtain this great achievement in the war at the top.

Even if the war at the top doesn't work, then we can go to the World Government and the holy land of Marijoa!

The world government that has ruled this ocean for countless years can definitely come up with a feat that Jiang Liu can challenge!

He once told the empress on Nine Snake Island that his goal was to pull those high and mighty people off the throne, and he was not just bragging.

But if one really cannot find a great cause worthy of upgrading, then challenging the existing ruling class - the Celestial Dragons - is undoubtedly the fastest way to force out the World Government's trump card!

Although it is okay to challenge the Four Emperors, it is true that the Celestial Dragons are more annoying!

Just like that, Jiang Liu crossed the doldrums, and then continued to "sail" in the ordinary sea area, and successfully returned to Shampoo Land - no wonder!

After swimming for seven days and seven nights, he chose a small island to land on. After resting and asking people, he found out that he had chosen the wrong direction and was not swimming towards Champagne at all. The landing place was half a month's voyage away from Champagne by an ordinary merchant ship.

This time, Jiang Liu chose the right direction on the map and even memorized the position of the stars before setting out again. It took another day and night of travel before he arrived in Shampoo.

"call!"

He raised his body temperature by breathing to evaporate the seawater on his body, and controlled the muscles throughout his body to vibrate slightly to shake off the impurities of sea salt attached to his body. Finally, he stretched his body and cleaned his body thoroughly before Jiang Liu put on his clothes one by one.

I should get a space prop if I get a chance. I have to carry so much luggage everywhere every time... Jiang Liu thought as he put on his clothes.

After traveling between the worlds for so long, he increasingly realized the benefits of space props. He also finally understood why in so many novels he had read before, the protagonists all had a space ring or belt: after all, you can't carry a warehouse around with you all the time.

He doesn't have much stuff now, just a few pieces of clothes and equipment, as well as rare items like golden apples and dragon gems. They don't take up much space, and the iron box assembled with the demon armor can hold them all.

But as his wealth grows in the future, he certainly can't rely on the suitcase anymore. It would be much more convenient if he had a space prop. For example, there are so many drops in the dungeon world, and there are precious things in them. If he can keep them, he doesn't have to sell them all.

"Well, let's see if there's a chance in the future."

After stretching his body, Jiang Liu looked around and chose a path to walk towards the island.

He was quite familiar with Shampoo Land. Although he had not been to every place there, at least he would not get lost. He quickly found the correct path and headed towards the no-man's land.

However, when passing by a mangrove tree that served as a transit station, they encountered an unexpected obstacle - a dense naval force.

"Yeah, that makes sense. After all, I didn't hide my identity at all when I landed last time (in fact, I even exposed myself on purpose because I took the initiative to reveal my name. Otherwise, the navy might not have recognized me)."

Jiang Liu glanced at the navy in front of him who were ready to go, and saw many familiar faces among them.

"It's not surprising that so many troops could be gathered in a place so close to the Navy Headquarters in just one day and one night. Oh my, this is really - so annoying!"

Chapter 212: Who is the stupid one?

As a transit station to the New World, the Sabaody Archipelago undoubtedly occupies a very important position in the eyes of the World Government, or it can be said that the geographical location of "the entrance to the New World" itself is very valuable.

Controlling this place is equivalent to strangling the throat of the Grand Line. What's more, the holy land Marijoa is very close to it, so nothing can happen to it. This also explains why the World Government placed the Navy Headquarters Marinford nearby.

In a nutshell, this place is right under the nose of the navy, and they can mobilize an elite fleet or an army of justice at any time and anywhere to annihilate any villains who dare to offend the majesty of the navy.

Even though the pirates are jumping around like that, they are basically avoiding the navy. Even in a head-on conflict, they only dare to fight against weak branch armies.

A while ago, there were eleven supernovas, no, including Jiang Liu, there were twelve of them. These guys were so glorious, they ran around the island openly, and the navy couldn't do anything to them. But that was because the top brass of the navy were too lazy to clean them up, or it could be said to be an unspoken rule: they needed these supernovas to make trouble for the Four Emperors.

If they really messed with the Navy Headquarters, any high-end fighter they sent would be a supernova with one kick. Including Jiang Liu, the twelve people combined would not be enough to defeat Kizaru...

Now there is not even a single pirate to be seen in the entire Sabaody Archipelago. Even those who did not have time to escape basically hide and dare not show up.

The navy's cleanup operation was quite successful, allowing the arrogant supernovas to understand the cruelty of this world before entering the new world. After showing its power, the navy gradually withdrew its forces.

Firstly, the situation is tense now and a large number of troops need to be stationed at the headquarters.

Secondly, we should not be too harsh on the Sabaody Archipelago - what if Pluto or something like that appears? Do you think we should fight him or not?

The only flaw is probably that the culprit of this unrest has not been caught: the evil waiter o Yuanshan Jiangliu.

The great villain who attacked the world's nobles actually disappeared in the chaos, which not only caused many navy officers to fail in their mission, but also put the navy's top brass under tremendous pressure from the Celestial Dragons.

The naval officers and soldiers below were also quite indignant, but there was nothing they could do. They had already accepted their fate and were ready to return home.

However, that big villain was stupid enough to come to the door himself!

According to the intelligence, he should have fled to a faraway island, but he didn't even disguise himself and just openly asked around for directions to Shampoo Land...

Originally I thought he was just bluffing to distract the pursuers, but I didn't expect he would actually come to Shampoodi... Then I can only blame myself for my bad luck, because there is a large army gathered in Shampoodi now!

Not to mention the scientific forces that were transferred here, there were already a large number of elite naval troops who had not been evacuated. Even the Navy Headquarters sent four vice admirals. It was easy to encircle and suppress a mere one person!

And the big villain didn't seem to have expected that over the past period of time, the military strength of the Sabaody Archipelago had not decreased but increased. Now he was blocked and was so scared that he dared not move.

——The above is the Navy’s perspective.

But in Jiang Liu's opinion... hehe.

Even though there were a few familiar faces in this group, such as Sen Taomaru, the Pacifist, and some "plot characters" that vaguely corresponded to the anime characters, it should be a very valuable team, but Jiang Liu really didn't take it seriously.

If we judge based on his combat power when he left One Piece, the current lineup would definitely be considered to be "overestimating" him. After all, he was only slightly stronger than a vice admiral at the time, but only by a limited amount, and was an assassin type with high agility and high attack.

The navy might just want to show off their might by making such a big show to deal with him. It's the same as the Demon-Slaying Order: killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

However, although only half a month has passed in this world, Jiang Liu has gone through several years of adventures and his strength is no longer comparable to what it was before.

To be honest, Jiang Liu doesn't even have the mood to bully the weak ones right now.

"Get out of the way..." Jiang Liu said calmly to at least a thousand naval officers and soldiers, "I'm only warning you once."

However, no one took this statement seriously, and some even thought Jiang Liu was a bit arrogant.

Zhan Taomaru, who led the scientific forces, raised his battle axe and touched the scar on his neck: "Hey, we meet again, kid. Give up, you can't escape this time."

"run?"

Jiang Liu tilted his head in confusion: "When did I say I was going to run away?"

"Oh? Looks like you've made up your mind."

The Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Ghost Spider, held his sword and said coldly, "It's better this way. It's hard to cut weak enemies."

"Hey, you guy, stand back, he is my prey."

Zhan Taowan glared at him and said, "I must return the scar on my neck to him!"

"It is the Navy's mission to capture the great villain Yuan Shan Jiang Liu. You are just a transferee—"
