In just two hours, Rainland was almost completely looted. The men packed cash and treasures in large and small bags, and rode on the Banana Crocodile with Sager, slipping out a few wisps of dust in the sand.
Then came, of course, a storm.
"Sager, I can lead the team in this kind of thing, why do you want to follow?" Renetia asked curiously.
In the room carried by the crocodile, only Sager and Renetia were sitting there. At this moment, Sager was looking at the curtain and door in front of him, at the falling raindrops. His eyes were calm, as if he had seen through the future.
"That's because."
The rumbling
raindrops made the surface of the desert wet, and in front of them, the desert suddenly bulged, and a huge crab appeared. It was red all over, but its head seemed to be covered with sand grass. It was like a mountain, blocking the crocodiles.
The appearance of this giant crab made the fast-moving crocodiles look frightened, and they were about to stop in an emergency.
"Heaven breaks and lives are killed!"
Bang!
But at this moment, a ball of black fire flew out from the back of the leading crocodile and hit the crab. With the domineering impact, the shell of this mountain-like crab cracked under its eyes, and the meat inside the shell was scattered, bursting open.
With just one blow, the crab's body shook and it fell into the desert.
This thing may be big, but its physique is limited. Although its external domineering power has not yet reached the point where it can be combined with internal destruction, the destructive power it causes by attacking the secret hole is not low.
Sager took his hand back and said, "You are not strong enough to face the obstacles of bad luck!"
It's not that I haven't thought about letting my men rob it themselves, but considering the danger of this desert and the strength of my men, I decided to do it.
Renetia might be fine, but how much could she take by herself?
The robbery has to be completed by the subordinates.
The crocodile stopped, and several of his men were eager to go down and chop the big crab into pieces.
"Why eat dead crabs? Eat live crabs instead. Let's go!"
Sager said this and let the crocodile continue.
The crab was big enough and must have been delicious to eat, but he killed it with one blow, so forget it.
It was not until noon that the crocodiles arrived at the Santa Dora River. Originally, Sag wanted to take them on the boat. This kind of crocodile was not small in size, up to 30 meters long, and it was said that it fed on small sea kings.
But after sending the people away, the group of crocodiles went straight into the water and lived in the Sahara River.
"You won't come with me? Never mind."
Sager shook his head and didn't care too much. After getting on the boat, he said to Lily who was waiting on the deck: "Let's set sail, Lily. I'm going to take a nap."
He didn't get much rest in the two days between the trip from the RainLand to Alabasta and back to the RainLand. Although he could hold on, he still needed to sleep.
The men boarded the boat to make arrangements, while Lily ordered the others to hoist the sail and steer. She glanced at the record pointer on her wrist and said, "Set sail!"
The huge black ship, with its black sails hoisted, sailed down the Sahara River towards the sea.
Of course, along with it came the extremely oppressive storm that caused the rivers to overflow and create huge waves.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and rain poured down, making the surroundings appear dark and chaotic, and the black ship gradually sank into the darkness and gradually merged with the storm.
…
The next day.
The storm was still going on, and the Death Star was sailing steadily in the waves that were big enough to capsize a normal ship. Only a few people on the deck came out from time to time to take a look.
They are basically in the control room on the third floor, looking around to see if they might encounter anything.
"Keep an eye on it and make timely adjustments if there are any directional issues."
In the control room, Lily glanced at the recording pointer and spoke to her subordinates.
There are also several recording pointers in this control room. Crocodile gave them quite a few. They are all full of magnetism and point to the next island with magnetism.
This stuff is magical, at least to Lily.
Each island in the Grand Line has a special magnetic field, and the two islands are connected to each other, so the recording pointer can point to the destination after the magnetism is fully accumulated.
But depending on the different magnetic fields, the time it takes to accumulate magnetic force varies, perhaps a few days, perhaps a few months, or even a few years.
Even if the ship is very fast, it still takes some time to land on an island.
Without the recording pointer, you would be like a headless fly on the Grand Line and wouldn't even know when you deviated from the direction.
Normal ships here, even if they are lucky enough not to encounter the sea kings lurking in the sea, once they enter the doldrums and reach the sea kings' nests, they can't even sail and can only wait to die.
Of course, Lily would not just keep one on her wrist. There were also many recording pointers in the control room. Some even asked Letty to make a compass, take off the watch strap and put it into the compass.
Now in the control room, there is a compass the size of a table, which is specifically used to stabilize the recording pointer.
Lily also didn't like watch straps, so she asked Renetia to make a small compass for her so that she could carry it with her.
She is a swordsman and needs to fight, so it is easy for something to happen to her wrist.
This stuff isn't hard.
Although the subordinates did not have much knowledge of navigation, they certainly knew how to tell the direction. They just had to keep an eye on and record the direction of the pointer changes.
After giving the order, she walked through the inner passage to the captain's room on the second floor.
In this huge space, Renetia sat on the sofa, concentrating on drawing a blueprint. Lily glanced at it and saw a means of transportation that looked like a motorcycle.
On the desk at the head, Sager seemed to have just woken up, with his strong upper body naked. He took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured it into his jewel-studded wine glass.
"Are you awake, Sager?"
When she woke up and took command, the door to the bedroom on the second floor was still closed.
"Ah, what time is it now?"
Sager asked as he drank the wine in his glass.
"It's eight o'clock in the morning. You've slept for an afternoon and a night. Is this intensity worth sleeping for so long?"
"It's good to sleep longer to keep energetic. Where's Marika?"
"Ah, you called me?"
As soon as Sager finished speaking, Marika appeared from downstairs, holding a large plate and smiling, "Although I guessed that you would wake up at this time, I don't know if this breakfast is enough."
She walked to the table and put down part of the breakfast on the large plate.
Eggs, bacon, bread, milk, dried fruits, sandwiches, oatmeal. A wide variety of food, combined with supplementary foods, covered half of the desk.
After taking a look at the breakfast that could feed at least ten people, Sager shook his head and said,
"It's enough, but I have other plans. Let's eat on the first floor from now on, Marika. By the time the next supply is ready, I'll need food for a hundred people at each meal. The ingredients must be good and rich. Let's eat like this now, and have a banquet at noon, and divide the stolen treasures among us."
"I see." Marika smiled softly.
It is a very happy thing for Sager to eat so much.
Cooking is a joy and Marika doesn't feel annoyed or tired at all.
"But why do you eat so much?" she asked curiously.
With the return of life, he can eat any amount, but this itself is an energy-consuming thing. If Sager eats normally, even if he has deliberately maintained the return of life and improved his physical condition before, he will not eat so much.
"Yeah, Sager, are you going to be a sumo wrestler? I think this body type is just right."
Renetia waited for Marika to come over, took the food from the tray, and asked.
"Of course it's for training."
Sager looked at the historical text placed on the wall in the wide hall and said, "With this thing, I can do some cultivation. No matter how good the life return is, if it is not transformed into specific cultivation, the effect will still be a little slow."
You can become stronger by eating, and you can also become stronger by exercising. So of course you can become stronger by combining eating and exercising.
"This thing."
Lily took the breakfast from Marika, thanked her, and sat on the sofa. She looked at the big stone that was three people tall and asked, "Is there any secret method on it that can strengthen it?"
"What are you thinking about? There is no such weird thing. This is the main text of history. It records the location of 'Pluto', the Hades that Crocodile has always wanted to pursue. He possesses a destructive weapon that can destroy the island with one shot." Sager said.
"Oh? Is this it?!"
Renetia's eyes lit up, "Sager, is it in Alabasta? It has such powerful technology, why don't you grab it?"
"Of course it's not here. The information above is just its location. To be specific, it should be in Wano Country in the New World, but no one knows where it is. Otherwise, Kaido would have released it long ago."
"I see."
Renetia nodded, then suddenly froze.
She wasn't the only one who was stunned. Everyone, including Lily, looked over in surprise.
"Sager."
Lily blinked and said, "Aren't you illiterate? How come you can recognize such an ancient script?"
She came from a family of learned people and had read a lot of books, but she could not recognize the words engraved on the stone at all.
"Yeah! I can't read! No need to explain, I just know this thing, it's not important!" Sager rolled his eyes.
He is illiterate, but he has memory!
I remembered it now,
but I can't explain it.
"In short, you just need to know this information, don't spread it around."
The World Government should be keeping a close eye on this thing. Although he is not afraid of trouble, who would want to cause trouble? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
"I want this thing purely because of its hardness!"
Sager quickly finished the breakfast for ten people, drank another glass of wine, wiped his mouth, walked to the main text of history, stood still, clenched his fist, and punched it hard.
Bang!
The dull sound of the impact rang out in the hall, and the force even shook the space.
Sager's punch was quite powerful.
He could crush rocks with his physical body alone, but such a fist left no trace in the text of history.
Lily narrowed her eyes, she could see that Sager was not using domineering.
She has already mastered the Armament Haki, so she can see 'color'.
Sager's fist is a pure attack using physical force.
"No need for domineering, no need for ability, once you can leave a mark on it, or even break it, the growth of your physical quality will be extremely terrifying."
As he said this, he kicked again, hitting the stone.
Bang!
The same sound and excitement spread.
"Use every part of your body and use it fully to get the most out of your training."
His weak point is not his fighting skills. Sager doesn't dare to say he is the best in this area, but he is definitely top-notch.
But his physical fitness and domineering power are not strong yet.
Haki, as a will, gradually becomes stronger through the strengthening of will. Through the practice of perseverance and determination, the will will certainly increase, thereby enhancing Haki, but a fight to the death will be faster.
But this has little to do with body growth.
"A truly first-rate warrior has first-rate mind, physique, and skills. Not a single aspect can be left behind."
"If you want to practice, then do as I do. Don't use your domineering aura or abilities to be effective."
He remembered that Garp's training method was to punch mountains and smash huge warships wrapped in steel. He smashed the top strong men on the sea with his flesh alone. His physique was very strong, even for natural types!
He still knew the three admirals in the navy.
Aokiji is Garp's apprentice. His training method is the same as Garp's, and his physical fitness is also not weak.
As for Akainu who defeated Aokiji,
you just want to go!
This is the most convenient way for a strong physical practitioner to practice. Sager had never had the opportunity before. Although the treasure house in the cabin was surrounded by a steel room, the hardness of that steel was not enough.
If Sager really hits, he can leave a mark, and now that he has obtained this historical text that is harder than steel, he can use it to strengthen his body.
He would not even hit the secret holes. In his eyes, no matter how hard the stone was, there were still traces of it.
It's just relying on physical strength.
And hitting like this is also a kind of training for will.
After all,
bang bang bang!
Sager used almost every part of his body to hit the historical text, hitting the forehead, punching with fists, attacking with elbows, kicking with legs and feet, and bombarding with knees. He used every part that could be used.
Each time, the force was extremely great, causing the huge hall to shake repeatedly.
It was visible to the naked eye that various parts of his body began to turn red, and some parts were even covered with blood. If he continued to fight like this, his body would definitely be injured. This kind of pain and tempering could also strengthen his will.
Bang!
Sager punched the historical text again, and blood spurted out of his hand, indicating that he was injured.
But he didn't care about it. When he raised his fist, the wound on his fist healed instantly.
This method of practice can also enhance the use of life return, thereby tempering the body to the maximum extent. As the body improves, life return also improves.
"One day I will smash this thing to pieces."
Bang!
Sager threw another punch, his eyes gleaming with ambition, "No one can stop me!"
Pain?
Suffering?
He was more afraid of not being able to be a landlord!
The suffering he endured now was all for the sake of enjoying happiness in the future!
In the past, because of his adoptive father, he wanted to take a path that would not be noticed by the world government, so that he could become a landlord and continue to grow bigger and stronger.
But now that we are all pirates, it is of course different.
Those strong men on the sea are all ridiculously strong. Sager is not afraid of failure, but he doesn't want to fail either.
If he is not strong enough, he will not be able to fulfill his dreams and ambitions!
