……

It is around eight o'clock in the morning and the sky has cleared up, but the sea breeze still makes people's scalp feel cold.

The sailors knelt together in an orderly manner, bowed their heads in the direction of Liis, and some of them were even sniffling and crying.

This time, Liis had no idea what to do. They were so aggressive and thought she was going to fight, but they didn't expect her to kneel so decisively.

"Who are you?" Liis stopped and asked.

The sailors turned their heads away, but the captain, with his white beard, raised his head. "We are the envoys from the Kingdom of Bey... Please, save our country!"

“…” Liis looked at the captain’s face and felt that it was a little familiar.

Heizhen beside her showed an unhappy expression. The word "saving the country" made her a little ptsd.

"What's the point of talking about saving the country or not? You should save your country yourself." Heizhen said dissatisfiedly.

"We're at our wit's end... The World Government has abandoned us, and the enemy is now free to wreak havoc on our homeland." The captain recalled the situation back home, tears welling in his eyes. "We're facing an enemy a hundred times our size, and we've wiped out nearly a generation's worth of troops."

Heizhen looked at the old captain's painful tears and the grief and anger in his words, and became a little at a loss.

What should I do... They are so pitiful... Did I say too much...

Hei Zhen looked at Li Yisi for help, but found that she had no expression on her face.

Of course, Liis couldn't express herself.

Liis patted Heizhen's shoulder, then looked at the captain and the others: "I think I remember, you are the group from the Calm Belt, right... Stand up first before talking."

“…” The captain and the crew stood up silently.

"We're so ignorant we've never heard of you, but I'm sure you're a powerful figure on the Grand Line." The captain looked at Liis seriously. "Before meeting you, I always thought that kind of powerful force was just a legend... Please, save our country!"

They kept a low profile, but Liis did not give any results immediately.

A war between two countries is no joke. How could they easily take sides and join the war just because of a simple kneeling?

Being invaded was just the captain's one-sided statement. Liis had no idea what was going on, not to mention that she had other things to do.

As if he could see that Liis was about to refuse, the captain reached into his coat and pulled out a photo.

"I know this request is shameless... Our king knows it, but our country has gone bankrupt trying to pay the Heavenly Gold." The captain showed Liis the photo. "The only thing we have left as leverage is this... the royal family's last remaining treasure."

“…” Looking at the things in the photo, Liis’ expression froze.

It was a fruit covered with spiral patterns, and it looked very unappetizing.

But for this world, this is an ultimate treasure that is priceless.

A devil fruit that grants supernatural powers when eaten.

"Such a valuable thing?" Li Yisi asked in surprise.

For a small kingdom, a devil fruit is enough to be a national treasure.

"We're at the end of our rope..." The captain lowered his head again, "Please!"

“…” Liis looked at the haggard old man’s humble appearance and didn’t know what to say.

Hei Zhen slowly walked to Li Yisi's side, and imitating what she had just done, raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

"Master, no matter what choice you make, I will fight for you." As if she felt it was too straightforward, she immediately added with a blushing face, "After all, you are still a child!"

"Thank you. I feel much more at ease with your words." Li Yisi raised her hand and rested it on the hand on her shoulder.

Hei Zhen's face turned red and she blinked. The Master's straightforward and honest words made her not know how to respond.

Liis looked at the captain and softened her tone. "Take me to your kingdom. On the way, please explain to me what this war is all about."

NO52. Main Quest

Liis's boat was pulled onto the black ship, and the men hoisted the sails and set sail towards the waves.

Compared to the Grand Line, the Four Seas can only be regarded as a novice village. Even so, what will be faced next is a war between two countries.

Liis wasn't exactly afraid, but as if it were destined, beside her was Jeanne d'Arc, a heroic spirit famous for her wars.

Moreover, she really wanted to see what role her current strength would play in the war. You know, after so many years of training, every time she took action, she either bullied the weak or encountered someone much stronger than herself.

Although participating in a war may just be like frying fish, a large number of ants can kill an elephant, and war may also bring pressure to oneself.

It was not until Liis sat down on the black ship that the sailors finally felt that they had hired someone and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Hei Zhen always followed Li Yisi, although she kept a certain distance, but her eyes were always on her, as if she was looking at a treasure that had been lost and found.

Along the way, the captain had told Liis the general causes and course of the war.

In order to reduce the burden on the people, the Kingdom of Bey defaulted on the payment of Heavenly Gold, but was abandoned by the World Government as a result. Neighboring countries immediately launched an invasion of the Kingdom of Bey.

The Bey Kingdom could not withstand the pressure, so it exploited a group of people and forcibly accumulated a batch of heavenly gold. It wanted to get mediation from the World Government, but was intercepted by the Celestial Dragons.

The matter ended in nothing, and the Bey Kingdom, which was already at an absolute disadvantage in the war, was even worse off.

"This is really...bad luck?" Liis rubbed her head.

In the end, the kingdom gained nothing. The gold from heaven was still paid, the people were still exploited, the country was still invaded, and the war was still lost.

No wonder they would use the devil fruit, which is said to be an heirloom, to hire Liis. This is their last hope.

"Why not hire Bartholomew Kuma?" Liis suddenly thought.

Bartholomew Kuma was not yet one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at this time, but he was also a world-famous pirate with a bounty of 296 million, and he was also the king of the Kingdom of Solbe in the South China Sea.

Compared to the unknown Liis, such a character is obviously more reliable.

Having met this guy before in Stowe Town, Liis felt that he would be happy to fight for peace.

But who would have thought that when the sailors heard Liis mention the bear's name, they all showed expressions of horror.

"That Tyrant Bear? I heard he likes to eat children!"

"Ask him for help? He'll sink our country to the bottom of the sea!"

"Oh my God! He will definitely join the invaders!"

For a time, all kinds of rumors about the bear spread throughout the ship.

Although she couldn't express her feelings, Liis was extremely surprised. The person pieced together from these people's descriptions was completely different from the bear she had in mind.

Is it because the world government controls the propaganda machine?

Liis vaguely grasped something.

It was the old captain who, seeing Liis was silent, spoke up to smooth things over: "We haven't seen the big bear, but we have seen you. You saved our lives in the doldrums."

"I understand." Li Yisi motioned him to stop.

Anyway, she is employed now.

Liis closed her eyes and stopped talking. The captain felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He looked at the woman in black armor standing next to Liis.

Heizhen also noticed that someone was staring at her, so she turned around and glared back.

This woman exudes a terrifying aura. Although she has a pure face, being stared at by her is more stressful than standing in front of a giant sea king.

The captain's heart trembled at the aura of being so distant that he no longer tried to find a topic to talk about. Instead, he led the other crew members back to their posts.

At this moment, Liis stood by the edge of the boat with her eyes closed, not only because she wanted to end the topic, but also because her mind was about to explode.

[The main quest has been unlocked. Please find more spiritual veins.

When the Master finds one-third of the spiritual veins in this world, he will receive a reward that transcends the world.]

Transcend the world...what does it mean? It sounds like cultivating immortals.

Can we return to Earth?

Liis didn't really want to go home. Not only had she lived in this world for fourteen years, but her family was almost wiped out before she traveled through time.

But if you think about it from another perspective, it would be quite exciting to travel to another world without any supernatural abilities with this strength and show off in front of old acquaintances.

Of course, all this is just wishful thinking. In Liis's view, the so-called transcendence is more of a pie in the sky that the system paints for herself.

The most important thing is that every time you unlock a spiritual vein, you can get a guaranteed ten-draw and a lot of amplifications.

After the initial excitement subsided, the fatigue from not getting enough sleep finally came over me.

After getting the captain's consent, Liis entered the cabin. The crew of the Black Ship specially cleaned out the cleanest room for her.

Having said that, the room was still a bit cramped, but it was certainly better than the small fishing boat she had been riding in for the past few months.

Liis threw herself onto the hard bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Kuro Sadamoto stood at the door pretending to be a guard. When she heard the sound of Liis falling asleep, she quietly moved a stool and sat beside her bed, holding her face and admiring her master's sleeping face.

It was soon noon, and the sunlight shining on the boat gradually increased the temperature.

The people on the boat took staggered breaks and had lunch.

The captain specially found Liis and brought her the best dry food on the ship.

This was specially prepared by visually estimating Liis's age and gender.

Li Yisi was awakened by the knock on the door. She saw a plate of finely crafted chocolates in front of her with sleepy eyes, and her eyes widened.

"You are our savior...you deserve this." The captain saw that Loli didn't move for a long time and thought that Liis was just being polite.

"...Leave it there...I'll eat it later." Liis reluctantly accepted the captain's kindness.

The captain nodded and placed the chocolates on the table.

Just as he finished doing all this and was about to walk out the door, a crew member wearing a turban suddenly ran over anxiously.

"Captain! We just received news! The sea area around Stowe Town has been blocked!"

The crew member immediately spoke after seeing the captain.

"What happened?" The captain's expression was dazed. "Can the navy be lenient? I still have some savings..."

The sea area of ​​​​Sto Town is the only way from the Upside-down Mountain to the Kingdom of Bey. If you take a normal detour, it will take a lot of time.

Time waits for no one. The longer we delay, the greater the crisis the country will be in.

"Let's take a detour," Liis suddenly said. "We can go around the doldrums. It won't take long."

"What..." The captain and the sailors looked at her at a loss.

"I've roughly guessed why the sea area is blocked... Anyway, it's a very troublesome matter, so it's better not to get involved." Liis said.

NO53. The future is coming

The town of Stowe has been taken over by the navy, and the people are hiding in their houses in fear, waiting for the impending disaster.

The harbor was already full of warships, and anyone trying to leave would be immediately blown to pieces by shells.

The body of the Celestial Dragon has been placed in an ice coffin. He will be sent to a warship and returned to Mary Geoise along with a large number of luxurious collections.

Just as the ship carrying the bodies of the Celestial Dragons left, a long ship arrived at the port.

The local navy stood at attention, looking at the top of the ship expectantly, while the Celestial Dragons' servants and doctors stood on the other side, each looking at the navy coming down from the warship with their own thoughts.

"Hey, hey, that couldn't be..."

The navy's lieutenants were the last to disembark. One of their breathtaking figures made all the sailors look incredulous.

She was a girl with healthy wheat-colored skin, a white veil covering her hair that fell to her waist, and a majestic navy coat draped over her exquisite dress.

"The Navy's supernova... Lieutenant Commander Attila, known as the "Silver Wolf"!" A Navy member whispered her name.

"I heard that if she wasn't still a rookie, she would have been promoted to Brigadier General long ago!"

"What a terrifying monster... I heard that those generals are like this too. Ever since they entered the industry, they have been called monstrous-powerful!"

"Does this mean that Lieutenant Colonel Attila has the makings of a great general?"

Several navy officers were extremely excited when they saw the supernova that became famous in the Grand Line.

"Are you talking about me?"

Just as a few people were talking excitedly, a lazy uncle's voice sounded from above their heads.

Several people shuddered all over, and they turned around in horror to see a tall man behind them.

The man must have been three meters tall, with funny yellow glasses and a yellow-striped suit under his coat.

Several of them even knew Attila, who had been out at sea for nearly two weeks, let alone this important figure, the legendary admiral, "Kizaru" Borsalino.

"Big, big...general!"
