The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

Jesus Bu was right. Kong Ming was currently inventorying the goods in the Karazhan showroom, thinking about how to give Red-haired Shanks this rubber fruit as a gift. Although Jesus Bu was partly right about the reason for returning the gift, Kong Ming did not like owing favors to others. But when it comes to Luffy's rubber fruit, Kong Ming actually has deeper considerations.

First of all, Garp gave the child to him to make him a scientist, not a pirate king. If Luffy was turned back to his old path by Shanks, Kong Ming really couldn't explain it to Garp.

Secondly, in the original history, Shanks smashed a Devil Fruit on Luffy's body and saved Luffy's life at the cost of an arm in front of the King of the Near Sea. He made such a heavy bet that Luffy embarked on the path of becoming the Pirate King without any hesitation.

The rubber fruit, arms, and life-saving grace are the cause, and Luffy's path to becoming the Pirate King is the effect. Kong Ming now wants to cut off the cause and effect between Shanks and Luffy.

These words may be a bit difficult to understand, but to put it simply, Luffy cannot be made to feel that he owes Shanks.

Finally, and most importantly, Kong Ming wants to use this incident to determine whether the Pirate World has its own will, and this incident is a good touchstone.

What if Luffy still insisted on becoming the Pirate King even after Ace and others showed up and gave a bad impression of pirates without accepting such a big favor from Shanks?

Then Kong Ming must be more careful.

But how to return the gift and what kind of gift to return? Kong Ming is very worried now.

Red-haired Shanks is powerful and has an open-minded personality. He doesn't have much regard for wealth. He can be said to be the freest person in the world.

For such a self-centered guy, it's very troublesome to do what he likes. And the most important thing is that Kong Ming not only wants Shanks to like his return gift very much, but also wants everyone else to feel that his return gift is very valuable. At least he wants to let Luffy know that he has done this for him. A rubber fruit, what a precious thing was taken out.

"The hourglass containing the Sands of Time allows people to retrace the flow of time when turning the hourglass." Kong Ming weighed the small hourglass in his hand, "But the problem is that activating this hourglass requires very powerful magic, let alone Shanks. , even I can’t handle this thing now.”

Kong Ming said to himself and put down the hourglass in his hand. This is too precious and cannot be given to him.

"It's a true 3D projector. This thing can be used, but it's useless for red hair, but it's very useful for me. I relied on it to deal with Garp last time."

Kong Ming casually put down the collection in his hand.

"Dwarf X-ray glasses can perfectly see through all clothing. This thing is too evil. I'd better keep it to my critical use."

Kong Ming put down the glasses in his hand with a look of disgust on his face.

"The dice of the dwarf trickster, as long as you bind mental power, you can freely draw the points you want. Medivh actually collects this thing? Although the red hair may not like this thing, but those in his group People should like it very much. But forget it, it seems very shameful to return a gift with this thing."

Kong Ming put the dice in his hand back to their original place again.

"Kadorei wind chimes, when placed in the wind, you can sense the upcoming weather conditions. This thing is good, simple and easy to use, and it can be regarded as an artifact for people like the red-haired people who often go sailing at sea. This first Let’s make a tentative decision.”

With that said, Kong Ming put away the string of exquisite wind chimes in his hand.

"Gukrok's Carapace" Kong Ming looked at the thing that looked like a big shell in front of him in confusion, "Why is there such a thing that can be used to 404? Forget it, let me criticize it myself."

"Forget about the Brinton series robots. These robots are too big. I can't take them out at all."

In this way, Kong Ming looked at his little notebook and inspected the collections in the exhibition hall one by one, carefully selecting things that could be used as return gifts. Finally, in addition to the Sin'dorei wind chimes that had been determined just now, Kong Ming found two other things that might be useful to the red hair and the others, and collected three return gifts in total.

Kong Ming's psychological bottom line is that the red hair can take all three of these things. Of course, on the surface, Kong Ming's condition is to choose two out of three. If the red hair wants them all, that's fine. Click the link below the video to owe him a favor. good.

A favor from a future pirate emperor is definitely worth something.

That night, Kong Ming held a grand party outside the door of the Master Tower. The first purpose was to welcome the red-haired Shanks and the others to the Rare Beast Island, and the second purpose was to welcome everyone, especially Luffy, in front of them. He solemnly gave the red-haired gift in return, allowing the little guys to see clearly how much he, Kong Ming, had lost for this rubber fruit.

Then Kong Ming hinted at Sabo, and then under the influence of Ace and Sabo, little Luffy should no longer have such deep feelings for red-haired Shanks.

As for One Piece, Kong Ming actually thinks red-haired Shanks is very good.

For this party, Kong Ming’s instructions were just one word, Ke Jiner created

Free meat, free wine, free vegetables, all

The meat must be generous and big, and it must show the heroic spirit of the children of the world. And the meat can be grilled, and the meat that cannot be grilled must be grilled even if it is wrapped in vegetables.

The same goes for vegetables. Those that can be grilled are grilled directly, and those that cannot be grilled are wrapped in meat and grilled.

The wine bowl must be big, the kind that can hold one or two kilograms of wine in one bowl, and it must be filled to the top. Just let them raise their necks, drink half of it, and wash the other half.

The so-called eating big chunks of meat and drinking big bowls of wine is all about this boldness.

Facts have proved that for rough guys like the Pirates, the kind of party held by Kong Ming is what suits them best, especially the spicy barbecue made with the spicy barbecue ingredients prepared by Kong Ming himself. The incomparable feeling makes these men from the sea think about the second piece after eating the first piece.

Halfway through the meal, red-haired Shanks, with an embarrassed look on his face, came to ask Kong Ming for the recipe for spicy barbecue ingredients on behalf of everyone in the red-haired pirate group.

Is this a problem? Here, take it

After Shanks took over the formula, Kong Ming saw that the current atmosphere was very good. Everyone was in the mood for drinking, but they were not drunk yet. At this time, he cut off the connection between Shanks and Luffy. When it comes to the bondage of this rubber fruit.

"Shanks," Kong Ming said to the red-haired man affectionately, "I am very grateful for your care for little Luffy, but things like Devil Fruit are too precious."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," the red-haired man quickly explained, "Actually, the rubber fruit was originally a gift from our pirate group to thank Kong Ming for helping us transform the Redfors. It is what we intend to give to you."

"Okay, Shanks, since you said so, I will accept your rubber fruit." After saying that, Kong Ming turned to Ah Fu and said, "Afu, take the return gift I prepared for Captain Shanks and the others. come out"

"Okay, Master." Ah Fu nodded seriously, then turned around and walked in. After a while, he saw Ah Fu looking for a few people and walking out with a few gifts, especially The last gift was so big that three people carried it out.

"President Kong Ming, you really don't need anything in return."

"Don't refuse in a hurry." Kong Ming waved his hand, "Let's take a look at these things first."

With that said, Kong Ming walked up to the first gift, which was the string of Cadore wind chimes. He directly lifted it up with his hands and hung it in the wind. The wind chimes made a tinkling sound in the wind, which was very clear. , very pleasant to listen to, and the magical thing is that everyone who hears the sound of this string of wind chimes seems to vaguely feel the recent weather conditions of the island.

"This is a series of gifts from the early days of the great kingdom. Its effect is felt by everyone." Kong Ming secretly added a sound amplification technique to himself so that his voice could be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. "It can predict the weather within one to three days. I don't need to say more about what such a treasure means to a ship."

"Oh my god" it was the red-haired navigator who spoke, "Is there such a magical thing in the world?"

"The second thing is this." Kong Ming picked up a necklace inlaid with moist jewelry. "This is a necklace with magical power. It can allow anyone to breathe freely after falling into the sea. And the speed of swimming in the sea is twice the normal speed."

If the thing just now could still make people admire, then this necklace shocked everyone.

Looking at the shocked faces of the red-haired pirates, Kong Ming continued, "Even if you are a Devil Fruit user, if you fall into the sea with this necklace, you will not be punished by the sea."

Kong Ming was very sure of this conclusion, because after coming out of Karazhan in the afternoon, Kong Ming gave the necklace to Luffy and put it on, then directly threw Luffy into the water, and Luffy swam very happily in the water.

As soon as Kong Ming's last words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Even Beckman opened his mouth in surprise, and almost dropped the cigarette that he never left his body to the ground.

Although this necklace is of little use to a mage like Kong Ming who has mastered the magic breath technique, in the world of pirates this necklace is simply an artifact, especially for people like the red-haired ones who know the goods.

"Sorry, this third thing is bigger." As he said this, Kong Ming walked up to the third gift and patted it lightly with his hand to activate the gift. Then the people of the Red-haired Pirates saw it. A bubble with Kong Ming as the center. "This thing is a gadget I invented, called a marine grounded ion shield."

"Everyone knows that for a powerful pirate group like Shanks, in most cases, the opponents you face are not scary. What is really scary are natural disasters that cannot be solved with personal force. And this Marine grounded ion shields are designed to solve this problem.”

Kong Ming gently pushed up his glasses and began to talk.

"As its name suggests, this thing can be installed on a pirate ship. When encountering some force majeure, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes and other weather conditions, or when encountering battles, this shield can help you Resist some attacks. As for its strength, Shanks, you can give it a try."

"Ok"

Shanks, whose curiosity was aroused, put down the wine glass in his hand and walked in front of the shield. Then with a flash of light, the famous sword Griffin had been unsheathed, between the lightning and flint, under the shield. It was chopped three times in a row.

Everyone present could see clearly that even if the red-haired man did not use all his strength in the three slashes just now, the motionless shield was enough to show how powerful it was.

"Now I believe everyone knows the value of these three gifts."

While talking, Kong Ming quietly took off his glasses and removed the three temporary shields on his body. Although Kong Ming had calculated and determined that the red-haired regular attack should be incapable of using a shield, he still subconsciously took protective measures with his hands when the red-haired man attacked.

Hey, these are all habits, habits

"I believe that any of these three gifts is enough as a return gift for the rubber fruit, but because of the friendship between you Shanks and our Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, I decided to buy one and get one free Shanks. Among the gifts, choose two as a return gift from our Azeroth Chamber of Commerce. Start choosing now, Shanks."
