The Pirate King of the East China Sea

Chapter 86 The Liar's Salvation
In the room, Sigo observed Usopp through his knowledge and arrogance.

The reason why he showed Usopp the information just now was to test him and see if he was qualified to be Luffy's partner.

Everything has already changed now.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and even Nami are not what they used to be.

Because of Xi Ge's appearance, they were much stronger than before.

The current Luffy is not inferior even if he faces Lu Qi directly.

And that's because Sigo didn't tell Luffy how to engage second gear.

With Luffy's current physical fitness, he is fully equipped to open the second gear.

The reason why I didn't tell him was because the second gear had too many side effects on the body.

Frequent use will even reduce lifespan and cause irreversible dark damage.

To put it bluntly, the second gear is to treat the body as a steam engine.

By increasing the pressure in the body, the blood flow is accelerated, thereby strengthening the body strength.

This means that Luffy owns the rubber fruit. If it were someone else, the blood vessels in the whole body would have burst because of the ultra-high blood pressure.

Luffy is just 17 years old now, which is the time when his combat power is rapidly improving.

After he finishes playing Crocodile and Enel, he should be able to grow to the point where he basically ignores the side effects of second gear.

It's not too late to tell him at that time.

Luffy is like this, Zoro and Sanji are also like this.

Even Nami's physical fitness has already far surpassed ordinary people under the subtle influence of Xi Ge's milk bottle fruit.

Of course, for Nami, Xi Ge pays more attention to the cultivation of knowledge.

For this reason, he specially asked Nuo Qigao to collect a large number of precious documents and books.

Everyone has become stronger, but Usopp is still the same.

It is precisely because of this that Xi Ge wants to test him to see if he has the qualifications to be Luffy's partner.

If Uso can't pass the test, even if Sigo doesn't say anything, Luffy probably won't invite him.

For this point, Xi Ge is still very confident.

Don't look at Lu Fei who is usually stupid, but he is really wise and stupid.

And when it comes to seeing people, he has a unique vision.

Ancestral whoring for nothing is a waste of fame.

The straw hat was passed from Roger to Shanks, and then from Shanks to Luffy.

The three of them are so alike, even their eyes are surprisingly the same.

Back then, Luo Jie caught the street stalker wandering around the East China Sea with a single glance, and later, that street stalker became Pluto Rayleigh.

Shanks fell in love with the vagrant Ben Beckman at a glance, and now the vagrant has become the emperor's deputy.

The same is true for Luffy. In Shuangyue Village, he also fell in love with the young Sauron at a glance.

Outside, Usopp's hand was already on the doorknob.

With a slight twist, he can enter the room.

Xi Ge is waiting for the result of the test, and Luffy is also waiting for Usopp's choice.

'click'

The door opened a crack.

A figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"Huh? Gentlemen, why are you here? Go inside quickly. The dessert is ready."

Meli, who had a sheep hairstyle, waved, and a chef walked in with elaborate snacks.

Sigo laughed, and Luffy laughed too.

"The old, the weak, the sick, and the Sunset group, let's go and eat dessert." Xi Ge walked towards the castle without looking back.

Zapp and Tom hurried to follow: "By the way, Captain, can't we change our name?"

"Yes, yes, the old man also thinks that we should change to a famous name."

……

The three of them left, but Luffy and Sanji didn't move.

"Master, let's go out first." Luffy shouted, and was about to reach out to bring some desserts by the way.

But before his hand touched the dessert plate, he couldn't help but move towards his chest.

A feeding bottle suddenly appeared in Luffy's mouth.

Xi Ge didn't turn his head back: "Eat less sweets, eat more milk, what a fool you are, still want to eat sweets."

"Uuuuuuu~"

Luffy still wanted to resist, but Sanji had already set him up and ran outside.

Sigo's test for Usopp is simple, courage.

He doesn't ask the other party to be comparable to a monster like Luffy with a mortal body, but he wants the other party to have enough courage.

If he didn't have the courage to fight for the village or Keya, Xi Ge really didn't believe that he would fight to the death for his companions in the future.

The terrain of Xiluobu Village is high, and if you want to attack from the sea, apart from the cliffs, there is only a steep slope.

This geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack also gave Usopp some capital to resist.

He hurriedly ran around the village: "Aunt Shanny, I want to buy oil, the more the better, I want all of them."

"Uncle Bruce, do you still have scrap iron today? Give me more."

"..."

Luffy and Sanji followed Usopp quietly, watching him run past one store after another, and finally bought a bunch of messy things.

Oil, small pieces of iron, beans, water chestnut nails, etc., are a big cart.

He struggled to push the car towards the slope outside the village.

"Hey, Liebu, what are you going to do?"

"That's right, you brat who can only tell lies, why did you get so many things?"

the villagers asked curiously.

Facing the inquiries from the villagers, Usopp suppressed the fear in his heart as much as possible, and forced a smile: "Ah, there are pirates coming, and the brave Captain Usopp is going to fight against the pirates and protect the village." gone."

Originally, everyone was still a little doubtful about his behavior. Hearing what he said, everyone was filled with righteous indignation: "You brat, you know how to lie all day long!"

"Liar Bu, haven't you already lied about the pirates coming today, why are you here again!"

"Stinky boy, don't run away, let us teach you a lesson today!"

Seeing Usopp running away with the cart, everyone laughed, and went about their business.

They didn't notice the resolute look on Usopp's face.

"Everyone still think I'm lying, that's fine, it's the price of my lying."

On the slope outside the village, when Usopp finally pushed the cart over, he found that there were already two people waiting there.

"You...you..."

Usopp looked at Luffy and Sanji in amazement.

Luffy stood up slowly, pressed the straw hat on his head: "You lied on purpose, let them not come here."

Usopp didn't speak, but just removed the things from the car one by one and started to arrange them.

"Why are you doing this? There are more than 100 people on the other side, and you can't stop them here."

Seeing that Usopp didn't answer, Luffy continued to ask.

"If you don't try, how will you know you can't stop it! Don't underestimate me, I am the brave sea warrior Captain Usopp!"

Usopp growled, as if speaking to Luffy and Sanji, but more like speaking to himself.

After yelling that sentence, he squatted down covering his face in pain, tears flowing from between his fingers.

He choked up: "I lie every day, and I like to lie."

"So, I'm going to fight the pirates at the beach and turn this matter into a lie!"

"This is the price I pay for lying, and it is the only way a liar can go!"
