Chapter 191

"Shorten the back pan time?"

Luffy didn't understand Yang Ming's technical terminology, but was shocked.

With his brain smaller than an almond, he couldn't think about too profound issues at all. After some interpretation, he suddenly understood.

"Faster! Stronger! More powerful!"

"But what can I do to do it?"

Luffy had a bitter look on his face and was almost shutting himself down thinking about it.

Seeing Luffy working hard with his brain, Yang Ming nodded secretly, feeling that this advice was not for nothing.

"What are acupuncture points? I know the meridians."

An idea suddenly came to Sanji's mind. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood on tiptoes with his shiny leather shoes, which immediately spun rapidly on the spot. Under the high temperature and friction, the leather shoes burst into flames.

Immediately afterwards, Sanji used his many years of experience as a chef to kick Yang Ming's weak points on his meridians.

"Devil's feet! Barbecue!"

Loroa Zoro was the most seriously injured, with tinnitus ringing in his ears and numerous phantoms appearing in front of his eyes.

Yang Ming's voice fell on his ears, like a demonic sound filling his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Everything breathes?"

"Whoops!"

Loroa Zoro took a deep breath, but he still felt that there was a considerable gap between himself and all things. He could only hear his heart beating unsatisfactorily, and his heart rate was rising rapidly, consuming a large amount of everything in his body. Not much energy left.

While Yang Ming avoided the joint attack of Luffy and Sanji, he noticed that Roroa Zoro seemed to be unable to find the key point. He put his right hand on the handle of the sword, slowly pulled out the Zanpakutō from its sheath, and said:

"Zoron, watch out!"

"Listen to the wind and wield the sword in your heart."

Facing a pair of shocked eyes, Yang Ming slashed in the direction of the sea with his backhand.

"Tear!"

The shocking sword light flashed away, and the entire sea was devastated. The sea surface was split into two halves like fragile cloth. The seawater was pushed toward both sides, revealing a five-meter wide seabed. It could even be seen to marine life in the seabed.

The length of the huge ravine was unknown, but the Straw Hat Boys conservatively estimated that it was at least a thousand meters long.

"The big, big, sea was split?"

Usopp's eyes were so wide open that he almost dug them out.

He originally thought that this kind of thing would only appear in bragging stories, but he never thought that he would be lucky enough to witness the legend with his own eyes.

The others were not much better, looking like they had never seen the world.

When the residual power of the slashing attack disappeared, the sea water surged into the vacant ravine, filling the gap and restoring the sea to its original appearance. Only the surging waves on the sea surface seemed to still bear witness to the bizarre event just now. The scene was real, not a fantasy they had dreamed of.

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

Loroa Zoro has been obsessed with swordsmanship for many years and knows very well how terrifying this kind of slash is.

He can't even cut through steel now, let alone split the sea with one knife.

At this moment, he deeply understood how terrible the gap between him and Yang Ming was.

If we use an analogy, Roroa Zoro's current state is equivalent to that of an elementary school student, Kuina is equivalent to a junior high school student, and Yang Ming is equivalent to a boss who started his own business after graduating from a doctorate!

The gap between them can no longer be caught up with hard work and talent!

Yang Ming slowly sheathed the sword.

At this time, Luffy, Sanji, and Loroa Zoro seemed to understand that no matter how slow their reaction was, Yang Ming was not here to cause trouble today, and seemed to have some intentions of giving some advice.

Yang Ming turned his head and saw Luo Luo Yasuo Long was thinking, and said;

Do you see clearly? "

"Um."

"do you understand?"

"..."

Loroa Zoro frowned, unable to answer.

Yang Ming never thought about how much they could comprehend in a short period of time, so he ordered Guina:

"Put them all in shackles and imprison them in a nearby prison."

Kuina was originally worried about what would happen to Loroa Zoro next, but when she heard Yang Ming's instructions, she suddenly smiled.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Guina's attempt to add insult to injury.

As long as they are in the Navy Headquarters, who doesn't know that the prisons in other places are now empty?

Just because Yang Ming suggested to Marshal of the Warring States Period a few years ago that prisoners in prisons in other places be imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison in order to save manpower and material resources. After concentrating on major tasks, prisons other than the Deep Sea Prison will soon It was abandoned and there was no jailer to guard it. Read the book

Yang Ming handled it this way. Firstly, he could stop outsiders from talking about the relationship between him and Luffy behind his back. Secondly, it also allowed Luffy and the others to stay quietly in the prison and digest what he had just said. Give guidance to improve your own strength.

Presumably, the Straw Hat Pirates, who know their shame and then become brave, will burst out with more powerful vitality.

Chapter 278 Kingdom of Alabasta, Princess Weiwei

"boom!"

The heavy iron door in the prison closed heavily with a dull sound, and even dust shook off the door frame, reminding the prisoners inside that they had lost their freedom.

Luffy grasped the iron fence tightly with both hands, watching Yang Ming drift away and completely disappear from sight, his eyes gradually losing focus.

I was caught like this?

Cool!

Seeing Luffy's slightly decadent look, Nami rolled her eyes secretly.

Yang Ming did not put Luffy in sea tower stone shackles, nor did he imprison him in the deep sea prison. It was clear that he was letting things go.

After giving Luffy a hard fist, Nami put her hands on her hips and said:

"Luffy, cheer up!"

"Don't forget, there are no guards in this prison, which also means that we will have no food to eat in the future."

When he heard that there was no food, Luffy immediately became energetic.

Sitting cross-legged on the dusty ground, Luffy rubbed his smooth chin with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

"I need more power and faster speed!"

"Would it be possible if my blood flowed faster?"

Luffy is a genius in combat. He may seem silly on weekdays, but he has a keen intuition. He can grasp the main contradiction in one go, and even more brilliant ideas appear in his mind.

In order to escape from prison and have enough to eat, he worked hard!

Luffy tried to mobilize the blood in his body. When the blood flow accelerated, due to the special constitution of his rubber man, his skin began to heat up and took on an abnormal bright red color.

The idea is right!

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth rose slightly as he saw what was happening behind him.

Second gear?

Sure enough, only when people are forced by pressure can they bring out the potential in their bodies.

Luffy has always had smooth sailing, and has rarely suffered defeat.

Yang Ming imprisoned him in prison. The dual pressure of losing his dream and being unable to eat was enough to stimulate Luffy's potential.

When Luffy can successfully escape from prison with his own strength, it also means that he has some ability to explore the great route, and at that time, he will also be able to contribute to Yang Ming's plan.

Returning to the steel warship, Yang Ming set off again to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

On the way, Yang Ming browsed through the system prompts that he had just missed.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for saying the classic lol line and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the lottery roulette?"

"yes!"

In Yang Ming's sight, a lottery wheel that could not be observed by others gradually appeared. It was divided into four columns: ordinary skills, hero skills, equipment props, and hero skins.

Common skills: Barrier, Purify, Insight, Ignite, Weaken, Blink, Ghostly Step, Heal, Clarity, Garrison, Crossbow, Punishment, Mark, Teleport.

Hero skills: Shattering Fire, Molten Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Kendo, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Ball...

Equipment props: Hex Belt, Glory of Justice, Twin Shadows, Power of Three Phases, Boots of Speed...

Hero skins: Future Warrior, Wings of Steel, Fengxian Lu Bu, Champion's Blade...

[Way of the Drifter]: Passive skill, indomitable. You will accumulate sword intent while moving. The faster you move, the faster you gain sword intent. When the sword intent tank is full, when you receive damage from the enemy, , you will gain a shield that absorbs some damage. Living towards death will increase your critical hit chance by 150%, but the critical hit damage will be reduced by 10%. A critical hit chance above 100% will be converted into a little extra attack power for every 1%.

The Kingdom of Alabasta is located on Sentin Island in the first half of the Great Navigation Route, and its capital, Albana, is located in the largest oasis.

As one of the oldest kingdoms in the world, the Kingdom of Alabasta is dry and drier, with average temperatures reaching over 25 degrees Celsius all year round. Most areas have a tropical desert climate, with few rivers and lakes, and only one artificial river that took hundreds of years to be dug. , connecting the internal river water with the external ocean, forming a mother river that runs through the entire Kingdom of Alabasta.

Along this mother river, there are large and small oasis areas. If you look down from a high altitude, it looks like emeralds hanging on the neck of the human body, twinkling with light.

Due to the special geographical conditions, the Kingdom of Alabasta's agriculture is underdeveloped. In the past, it was only possible to reclaim wasteland and plant some drought-resistant plants in the oasis area. However, the harvest has been stagnant. Only by opening up maritime trade and transportation with other countries , can we communicate with each other.

In addition to its underdeveloped agriculture, the Kingdom of Alabasta is rich in natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, phosphate, iron, manganese, coal, gold, zinc, silver, copper, aluminum and other resources.

Due to the limitations of the times, the Kingdom of Alabasta does not pay attention to resources such as oil and natural gas. Instead, it attaches great importance to the gold, silver, and copper mines within its territory. These mineral resources are all produced by Naferutali. The family is directly in charge and can provide the royal family with a large amount of wealth every year.

In an oasis not far from the capital Albana, an unusually prosperous area has been opened up.

Tall palm trees can be seen everywhere, spreading their branches and leaves, casting a shadow, bringing some coolness to this hot desert. On the edge of the huge artificial lake, guests come to play in cool clothes and enjoy the sunshine and coolness of the beach bathing beach. Coke.

After tourists have had their fun, they can also go to a nearby restaurant to have a meal of roast duck with Alabasian characteristics. This kind of duck meat comes from the running duck and cannot be eaten anywhere else.

It is worth mentioning that the running duck is a unique species in Alabasta. Due to its characteristics of drought tolerance, fast feet and high pressure tolerance, it has always been raised by the families who converted to the Neferutali family and is exclusively for breeding. *** Form a super fast running duck team for the royal family.

But now, these expensive items have actually leaked out of the world, and become expensive delicacies on tourists' tables here, which is simply terrifying to think about.

In the center of the oasis, there is a palace that looks like a banana crocodile. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it is decorated splendidly on the inside. It is surrounded by dense forests, and there is a unique private garden behind it, which can be vaguely seen. There are huge crocodiles swimming downstream of the artificial lake.

It was unbearably hot outside, but once inside the palace, I unexpectedly felt a chill on my face.

Deep in the palace, a middle-aged man closed his eyes and meditated.

The middle-aged man's face was filled with vicissitudes of life. He had a neatly combed back hairdo on his head, perhaps even waxed, making it look shiny. It was simply the standard hairstyle for successful people. There was a scar on his face, along the The bridge of his nose was scratched across the bridge. It was said that it was a scar left by a challenge to Whitebeard, but no one had confirmed it.

His earlobes are inlaid with gold earrings, and he habitually holds a cigar in the corner of his mouth. The butt of the cigarette emits a little red light and exudes a refreshing fragrance. Crocodile leans back on the chair, crosses his legs, and taps the table with his golden hooked left hand unconsciously. , knocking the table loudly.

"Admiral Shura suddenly visited the Kingdom of Alabasta. Is it possible that the Navy Headquarters has noticed my plan behind the scenes?"

Crocodile has always been famous for his resourcefulness, and smart people like to think too much.

What's more, the admirals of the Navy Headquarters are usually waiting to be killed by the Navy Headquarters. Unless there is a major mission that requires them, they rarely go out in such a swaggering way. To the extent that the whole world knows about it, there must be a deep meaning in it.

"For the sake of safety, the work of the Baroque Working Group will be temporarily suspended recently, so that they can all lurk, so as not to be caught by the Shura general. Otherwise, the plan I have laid out for many years will fall short."

While thinking about it, Crocodile's brows were full of solemnity, and he was full of deep fear towards the Shura General who only heard his name but never saw him.

It’s no wonder that King Qiwuhai is so afraid of Yang Ming. Think about what Yang Ming has done this year?

Destroy the Beast Pirates.

Encountered Whitebeard and escaped unscathed.

Which year was not a major event that shocked the world?

When Crocodile was young, as a supernova of that generation, he once challenged Whitebeard, and he knew best how terrifying the old man was.

Otherwise, Crocodile would not accept the olive branch offered by the World Government and hide in the Kingdom of Alabasta with all his heart, just to find and dig out the rumored ancient weapon Pluto. As long as he can possess Pluto, he will have confidence. Challenge Whitebeard.

As everyone knows, Crocodile's little thoughts were all within Yang Ming's expectation.

Yang Ming deliberately sent people to spread the news, in order to scare Crocodile by beating cattle across the mountains, and then he could make better arrangements in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The steel warship broke through the white waves and galloped all the way.

Following the artificial river dug by the Kingdom of Alabasta, the steel warship entered the river from the sea and went all the way to the capital Albana.

Near the river port terminal, irrelevant personnel have been evacuated here. Only the solemn-looking Royal Guards team is here to maintain martial law. A father and daughter stand in front, looking forward to the steel warship coming from afar.

Kobra is dressed in simple king's robes. Judging from his simple attire, he is either putting on a show or loving his people like a son.
