Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

While other cadres were fast asleep, he was doing push-ups;

While other cadres were enjoying themselves, he was doing push-ups;

While other cadres were racking their brains to beg Burfat to take them out to sea for plunder, he was still doing push-ups.

He even set a record of doing push-ups for three consecutive days and three nights...

In this world, when a person's will is strong enough, he or she can break through the limitations of the body and bring himself or herself to a height that does not originally belong to him or her.

Now, after half a year of settling down and putting in 199 times more effort than an ordinary person, he has been completely transformed and has firmly established himself as the number one cadre stationed on the island.

"You, you have become so much stronger..."

Dirk, lying on the ground, tried to get up, but after seeing the other person's eyes without any confusion, he gave up and lay back down.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Really, really amazing..."

Although he followed La's instructions and did not slack off in his training while guarding the island, he was still far behind the most hardworking king of beasts in front of him.

He accepted his defeat with conviction.

From then on, the champion and runner-up of the Beasts Pirates' New Year's Ranking Tournament were decided.

Taolong successfully defended his number one token with unquestionable absolute strength.

Dirk fought his way through all the obstacles, climbing from the last place to the second place, and exchanged the token without a number.

The rankings of the remaining cadres did not change much.

After all, it's only half a year. Unless ordinary people have great perseverance like Taolong and Dirk or are lucky enough to obtain a devil fruit, it's really difficult for them to make any breakthroughs.

"It's really incredible...that Taolong."

"I remember when I was doing the cadre challenge, this guy was the last one standing."

"If the opponent had this strength at that time, I'm afraid I would not be able to win in the end."

Skygate, who was sitting in the audience, sighed.

At the beginning, the man named Taolong really left a deep impression on him. It seemed that no matter how many times he knocked him down, he would stand up again.

Although he was outnumbered at the time, the opponent was the first to come on the field and the last to leave, which showed his amazing perseverance.

"Who says it's not~"

"Captain, it seems like you've become lazy since Hati Island was allocated to you."

Wright looked at the man's slightly plump face and the increasingly polished and sleek afro, and warned him in a slightly serious tone:

"Although Boss Kaido gave us special treatment by not having to participate in the qualifying rounds, the Beast World is ultimately a place where strength speaks for itself."

"Once someone feels that your strength or worth is not worthy of this position, even if Governor Kaido doesn't say anything, others will definitely find ways to pull you down."

"Captain, you are far from being ready to retire~"

Wright said this, patting the other person's already obvious beer belly.

"I, I know."

Scapgate nodded awkwardly.

He actually knows this problem himself.

Ever since his great revenge was achieved and the organization of the Fore Pirates was retained, he had obviously lost his goal.

In addition, Kaido and other core cadres would not go to him unless they had nothing to do, and there had not been any major wars in the past six months, which led to him really entering a retirement mode on Hati Island.

Even after his last transformation, the people below were curious about why he looked round like a sheep when he was the user of the goat fruit.

[I still have to practice when I get back...]

Patting his belly, Skygate made up his mind that after returning, he must run around the island every morning and evening, and he must not let his position as the number one affiliated pirate group be taken away.

Thinking this in his heart, he looked up at Kaido who was sitting in the main seat and found that he looked a little listless, probably because he drank too much last night.

Burfat next to him also looked like he was still sleepy and kept yawning.

Only Jhin was watching the qualifying match below seriously, and by the way, he ordered his subordinates to redistribute the islands according to this ranking.

"By the way, why don't I see Miss La and the others?"

After looking around, he didn't see the three benefactor sisters and felt a little confused.

"I don't know. I haven't seen them since the three of them left the party early yesterday. Maybe something happened?"

……

"Wake up in the morning and embrace the sun~"

Osi stayed up all night yesterday and went to bed in the early morning, but he was still full of energy when he got up.

"It's already noon."

"Come and eat."

"Oh~"

Hearing La's call, Osi quickly changed his clothes and ran to wash up.

"By the way, where's that Ouba girl? Why can't I see her?"

"She went straight back to her lab this morning. It seems she had some inspiration."

Since she had her own laboratory, Ou Bei rarely came back. She seemed to prefer staying in her own little space rather than at home.

"Ah~ It turns out that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers~"

"The children have grown up and started to dislike us~"

After making plans for his sister behind her back, Oshi sat down at the dining table and looked at the lunch in the bowl in front of him... It was a bowl of clear somen noodles.

The noodles were white flour and the soup was clear water, without even any chopped green onions or oil.

[I hope there won’t be any hallucinogens added this time~]

Ossi picked up the chopsticks...

suck~

Hmm... the taste is just average, not bad but not particularly delicious either.

Ossi picked up another chopstick in confusion.

suck~

Ok……

The taste is still ordinary.

I didn't hear any sound of an old man suddenly beating gongs, drums or blowing suona, nor did I see any strange special effects.

[Could it be that the hallucinogenic effect has some kind of self-suppression that can only be used once per round?]

"Sister La, did you do this?"

Ossi asked doubtfully, still unable to believe that such an ordinary dish was the work of Ra.

"Yes."

“It tastes so ordinary~”

"Because it's just a 'normal' bowl of ramen."

"..."

I answered it, but it felt like I didn’t answer it.

But what can I say? Last night in the fantasy world, I ate too much delicacies from land and sea, and too much oil and spicy food. Now I feel that this tasteless vegetarian noodles are actually not bad.

suck~

Chapter 175 The dragon raises its head

The first month after the New Year always slips away quietly without people noticing.

It is now the second day of February.

Although it is said that the dragon raises its head on February 2, it has no meaning here.

After all, the calendar of this world is not the lunar calendar, and the starry sky above is very different from that on Earth. If you can't see the Jiao star rising in the east, there is no such thing as "the dragon raising its head".

But as a substitute, our Osi smiled and raised her head whenever she met someone today... This made everyone in the pirate group puzzled, and many people speculated whether she had a stiff neck last night.

"Hey Ossie, what's wrong with you today? Is your neck uncomfortable?"

Burfat looked at Ossi's head moving up and down like a tumbler and asked with some concern.

He was currently teaching a group of children Fishman Karate.

"It's okay. Today is a special day, so I'll share some of the joy with you."

"Who are these children?"

Osi put his hands behind his back and asked in a conscientious tone, like a superior leader inspecting him.

The children she was talking about looked a bit mixed, the oldest one was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest one was about the same age as her.

At first glance, these children all look thin, obviously they are not well nourished.

But this was obviously not what Osi wanted to ask. Compared with their age and nutritional status, the appearance of these children was obviously more eye-catching.

This is a group of murlocs, and they are real murlocs from Fishman Island.

"They..."

Burfat hugged his chest, looked at the fish-men children who, although their movements were a little deformed, still tried their best to persevere and did not stop, and said with a smile:

"Didn't I go back to Fishman Island before? I brought these children back from Fishman Street."

"They are all orphans with no one to rely on. I plan to teach them murloc karate so they can make a living here in the future."

"I've already discussed this with La, and she's agreed to allocate some money specifically for this matter."

Looking at this group of fish-men imps who were small in stature but had stubborn faces, Burfat seemed to see his former self.

Now that he has made some name for himself in the New World, he wants to help these kids.

After all, if you stay in a place like Fishman Street, even if you are lucky enough not to starve to death, you will eventually be assimilated by the rotten environment.

It's too difficult for a child to get out of there on his own.

"So that's why you sneaked up on Sister La that day?"

After Burfat's reminder, Ossi also remembered that this guy had indeed been hesitating and lingering at the door of La's office for a long time.

There's no way. If I go to Kaido about this, he may not agree.

Spending a lot of money specifically to raise a child is not something a pirate group should do.

This kind of investment project, which takes a long time, costs a lot, and has unknown returns, is completely incompatible with the pirates' quick and easy style of action.

After all, pirate members can be recruited at any time, right?

It is not cost-effective to leave the ready-made combat power and not spend money to train it yourself.

At least that's the case from a pirate's perspective.

But from La's perspective, she had no reason to refuse this proposal.

It would be better to say that when she was planning the internal divisions of the pirate group, she had deliberately set up an Education Department to be responsible for this matter.

Now, Beasts is developing from an ordinary pirate group to a national-level armed force, so it is crucial to have its own talent training system.

The existence of a talent training department can ensure that the backbone of a force can be replenished anytime and anywhere, and these self-cultivated talents also have significant advantages in quality and loyalty compared to those joining from outside.

……

"Yeah, I was so nervous at the time, afraid she wouldn't agree...but I didn't expect her to agree right away."

"And with a wave of his hand, he directly appointed a crude person like me who can barely read and write as the Minister of Education."

Burfat smiled bitterly, not expecting that the paper ball he had thrown out would hit his forehead again at this moment.

"But luckily, she found a guy from the Internal Affairs Team to be my deputy, saying that she wanted to teach these children to read and write at the same time. This is really..."
