Chapter 118 Storm
At this time, in addition to the Whitebeard Sea, other seas also caused varying degrees of commotion.
The situation in the Four Seas was even more obvious, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
As a relatively stable sea, the Navy has the greatest control here, which is far less chaotic and turbulent than the Grand Line.
In these seas, the existence of the Navy is like a mountain, suppressing those pirates with ill intentions.
When the news of the arrest of the Golden Lion came, the residents of the Four Seas cheered for it although they did not understand the true strength of this great pirate.
On the street, the vendors stopped their work, gathered together, and excitedly discussed this emergency.
Children ran on the street, imitating the heroic posture, imagining that they could also become pirates and gain their own glory.
People's faces were filled with smiles, as if the capture of the Golden Lion meant that their lives would be more peaceful and the storm in the ocean would temporarily subside.
At the same time, other seas that were the same as Whitebeard's Four Emperors also had their own movements, as if an invisible game was quietly unfolding.
The most obvious one was Red-haired Shanks. This Four Emperor, known as the "Face" Fruit ability user, was leading his fleet to the East China Sea at this moment.
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with an elusive light, as if he was thinking about some profound plan.
The crew was busy on the deck, and the sea breeze blew their clothes, bringing the salty smell of the sea and the call from afar.
At the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates, the atmosphere was even more tense.
Big Mom was sitting at a huge dining table at this moment, with a rich feast in front of her, but her eyes were always looking out the window, as if waiting for something.
Her men had quietly sent people to prepare to contact Huo Yuhao.
However, only Kaido, the Beast, was still motionless at this time.
His territory was like a sleeping giant, calm on the surface, but undercurrents surging.
The sky of Wano Country was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rising, which seemed to indicate that a great change was coming.
At this time, Wano Country was very lively.
On the streets, the hawkers' cries came one after another, and the lively market was crowded with people, with a dazzling array of colorful goods.
Children chased and played in the alleys, and their laughter echoed in the air, as if they had thrown all their worries behind.
However, behind this laughter, there were restless souls.
"I heard that the Golden Lion was arrested?"
An old man whispered in the market, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Although his voice was weak, it was enough to attract the attention of people around him.
"Yes, I heard that the navy caught him, it's incredible!"
Another young man responded, with disbelief written all over his face.
"This is a big pirate, and he was caught. Will our life be better?"
"I don't know if Lord Oden can recover the lost land."
"Don't think about it. If that rubbish can do it, our Wano Country will not suffer so much!"
As the center of these people's discussion, Kaido's heartland.
This place is still immersed in yesterday's banquet. Even Kaido himself is still sleeping, turning a deaf ear to everything happening in the outside world.
On the boundless sea, the sun shines warmly through the thin clouds, and the sparkling sea surface seems to be a piece of blue satin inlaid with countless gems, rippling gently.
On the deck of the warship, the sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of salty sea flavor, and the air is filled with the breath of freedom and adventure.
A beautiful girl with long orange hair is stretching lazily. Under the sunlight, her hair is like a wisp of flame, flashing charming light.
Nami has a plump figure and beautiful curves. She wears simple clothes, but still can't hide her unique charm.
She raised her head slightly, the sun shone on her face, reflecting a healthy blush, and her eyes revealed a trace of laziness and unwillingness.
"Ah, the holiday passed so quickly."
She yawned, with a bit of helplessness and melancholy in her voice, as if she was lamenting that this rare quiet time was about to end.
"Nami, in fact, you can also stack your soul power by practicing now."
Huo Yuhao stood aside, his eyes as sharp as a hawk. Through his clear eyes, Nami could feel his inner anxiety and expectations.
Every time he saw Nami in such a decadent look, he couldn't help but want to remind her, with a sense of regret.
"Practice?"
Nami's voice was full of disdain, and she curled her lips contemptuously.
"Who would practice with a serious person?"
Her face was lying on the recliner, and the slight side profile outlined a beautiful outline, like a perfect painting, which made people want to take a few more glances.
"And he's already level 50, just waiting to absorb souls."
There was a hint of pride in her voice, as if she was proud of her own achievements.
Nami had her own pride in her heart. Although she was a native of this world and was still an outsider to the power system of the Douluo World, her talent was surprisingly good.
"You guy, you're obviously not from our Douluo World, but you have such a good talent for cultivation. It's really a waste of talent."
Xiao Xiao said lazily from the other side of Huo Yuhao, with a bit of envy in her tone.
Her voice was like waves hitting rocks, soft but tough.
As outsiders in the pirate world, Xiao Xiao and her companions were not particularly gifted in cultivating domineering spirits. Facing a gifted companion like Nami, she always felt a complex emotion in her heart.
But Nami, who was also a native of the pirate world, was surprisingly gifted in obtaining the power of their Douluo world.
This was also the reason why Xiao Xiao envied her.
Moreover, according to Huo Yuhao, Nami's innate soul power was level nine.
But the speed of cultivation she showed was far from comparable to that of a level nine!
The most important thing was that, normally, the more soul power a soul master needed, the later he progressed.
Although the speed of cultivation would also increase, the two sides were not proportional.
Therefore, the higher the level of a soul master, the slower the progress of cultivation would be, and this was no exception even for Huo Yuhao, the son of destiny.
But Nami seemed to have broken this rule.
From level nine to level ten in one month.
From level ten to level twenty in two months.
From level twenty to level thirty in half a year.
From level thirty to forty in one year.
Now, after only five years of training, he has reached the terrifying level of level 50.
It is simply unbelievable.
The sea breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of salty sea flavor.
Huo Yuhao stood on the deck, looking into the distance, his voice seemed particularly firm in the whisper of the waves.
"Okay, this time when we return to the Sabaody Archipelago, I will just get you the fifth soul, and Ace can also get the fourth soul."
Xiao Xiao and Nami nodded.
They also knew something about Huo Yuhao's plan, and naturally expressed their support for it.
At this time, the people who were originally immersed in training came out one after another. I don’t know if it was because it was time for dinner, as if attracted by some mysterious power, they gathered on the deck in unison.
On a sunny morning, the sea was sparkling, and the fresh sea breeze blew gently. The first to appear were the brothers Ace and Luffy. Luffy's laughter was as crisp as the waves, with a carefree atmosphere, as if it could dispel all the haze.
"Luffy, walk slower!"
Ace's voice was helpless, but his eyes were shining with tenderness.
He couldn't help but punch Luffy on the head. Although his fist was light, it contained the tacit understanding and warmth between brothers.
Every fight was a manifestation of their deep feelings.
"Why are you always so anxious!"
Ace shook his head, with a helpless smile on his lips, but his heart was full of pampering.
He looked at Luffy's sunny smile, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"I can't slow down, I'm also at level 30, hehe."
Luffy's laughter was still loud, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
There was a fearless innocence in his voice, which was very contagious, as if nothing in the world could stop him.
At this moment, he seemed to feel the call of adventure, and his heart was burning with a desire for the unknown.
As they walked, the deck gradually became lively, and other partners also joined in, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed and pleasant.
Nami looked up at them while sorting out the nautical chart, with a smile on her lips.
Her eyes revealed her appreciation for the brothers, thinking in her heart.
Luffy's optimism always infects the people around him, and Ace is the kind of calm and reliable existence, which just balances Luffy's impulsiveness.
"Really, these two guys are starting again."
Nami shook her head helplessly, but secretly sighed in her heart.
Then, everyone from Shrek Academy also appeared one after another.
Ma Xiaotao was dressed in a fiery red outfit and had a hot body. She seemed to be a flower blooming in the fire, exuding unparalleled charm.
Her laughter was as crisp as a bell, adding a bit of vitality to the entire deck.
Zhang Lexuan was wearing a long skirt, full of gentleness, like the warm sunshine of spring, giving people tranquility and comfort.
She smiled slightly, and her eyes showed her concern for her companions.
As the eldest sister of the inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan is always so calm.
Ling Luochen is like an iceberg beauty, cold and mysterious.
Her eyes were as clear as ice and snow, but with a hint of arrogance that was difficult to approach.
Although her expression was cold, in her heart, she had already regarded this group of companions as indispensable.
Wang Dong and Wang Qiuer looked at each other with a look of dissatisfaction, as if they were arguing about something.
Both of them were characters with distinct personalities, and they always disliked each other, but this also added a lot of fun to the team.
After three days of sailing, the group finally returned to the familiar sea area - the place where they had fought with the Nine Snakes Pirates.
The sun shone through the clouds, shining golden light, and the sea surface sparkled, as if telling the mystery and danger of this sea area.
"The Nine Snakes Island is ahead."
The permanent pointer in Nami's hand trembled slightly, pointing to the unknown waters.
Her voice came in the breeze, with a hint of firmness.
The guidance of the pointer was reliable, but she knew in her heart that the sailing route was much more complicated than the direction indicated by the pointer.
In the vast seas of the Grand Line, the chaos of the magnetic field makes navigation extremely difficult. Many ships are lost in the fog and become sacrifices to the ocean.
If you want to sail in it, you must rely on the permanent compass to guide the direction.
Otherwise, it is easy to get lost in the endless sea.
But as an excellent navigator, you must not rely solely on the guidance of the permanent compass.
Nami took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
As a navigator on a warship, she has heavy responsibilities.
As the navigator of the protagonist group in the world of pirates, Nami's talent in navigation is undoubted.
But it also takes time to grow.
The fledgling Nami still has a long way to go before she can become an excellent navigator.
Just like now.
Nami stood on the bow of the boat, staring at the dark clouds that suddenly appeared in front of her, her face looking a little ugly.
The darkness was like a huge monster, swallowing the light and gradually approaching.
As a navigator, it is undoubtedly a shame for a navigator to let his team enter a harsh environment under his own command.
Seeing Nami's depressed mood, Huo Yuhao comforted her.
"It's okay. Harsh weather in the Grand Line is very common, especially since this is a windless zone."
Huo Yuhao's voice came from behind. His words were like a breeze, gently blowing through the haze in Nami's heart, but she still couldn't get rid of the invisible pressure.
"I should have been more careful..."
Nami said to herself, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Her thoughts involuntarily returned to her previous voyage, when her judgment of the weather always seemed to be so accurate, but this time, she was caught off guard by the sudden storm.
Huo Yuhao noticed Nami's change in mood. He stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, trying to give her some support.
"It's a small problem, Nami."
"You are the best navigator, and I trust your judgment."
Huo Yuhao said.
His words made Nami feel warm in her heart, but she still couldn't let go completely.
In her sight, the sea in the distance began to roll, and huge waves came, as if mocking her incompetence.
Speaking of the bad weather, Huo Yuhao's eyes couldn't help but return to the ice sculpture.
That's the golden lion - Shiji.
It can be said that the golden lion's strength declined so severely that the rudder that hit its head during the big storm also played a crucial factor.
At this time, the golden lion trapped in the ice sculpture still showed signs of life.
In half a month, relying on his tenacious vitality and the delivery of Huo Yuhao's soul power.
In such a strange situation, even Huo Yuhao had to sigh with emotion at the vitality of the strong in the world of pirates.
In the original work, the battle between Akainu and Aokiji lasted for several days and nights before it ended.
It is unimaginable for other strong men to fight for several days in a row in the world of Douluo. (End of chapter)
