Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Xia Qi left the Amazon Lily Island on a sea snake. When she returned to the area where Locks and his party were, she found a huge sea king floating beside their boat. This made Xia Qi frown. She had obviously already If a sea snake is left nearby, how can it be attacked again?

"Come back?" Rocks said casually while standing on the corpse of the Sea King.

"What happened?"

"After you left, this sea king suddenly wanted to attack the ship, and it took some effort to deal with it."

If Rocks hadn't covered the surrounding area with his aura of knowledge and knowledge, he probably wouldn't have noticed the movement under the water at all. Once hit by this sea king type, the ship would inevitably sink into the water.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

Xia Qi looked at the body of the Sea King, then looked at the appearance of the ship, and sighed silently, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong.

"Let's go, where are you going next? Let me see how to arrange the journey."

Xia Qi took out a nautical chart, which was stored in the palace. It recorded the nearby islands and dangerous places, which would be of great help for the next trip.

"Do you know the direction of the Water City? If you can, go there first."

"The Water City? That island that specializes in shipbuilding? I didn't expect you to know that place, but this ship really needs to be replaced, so let's set our target there next."

After speaking, Xia Qi pointed a direction to Edward, who was in charge of the helm. Edward subconsciously looked at Rocks, who nodded:

"Just follow her instructions for future routes."

Seeing Locks nodding, Edward had no idea of ​​refuting and controlled the rudder to turn the ship.

In fact, even Xia Qi was surprised by Rox's trust. Did he believe his words without hesitation?

Is he confident in the strength of the ship?Or is he really just a crazy idiot?No matter what, it is more comfortable to be trusted than to be suspicious every day.

Locks leaned against the stern of the boat, glanced at Xia Qi's figure, and muttered:

"It's kind of weird."

The previous Xia Qi seemed to be easy to get along with, but Locks could feel the sense of distance she exuded, but the feeling now... Let's put it this way, the previous Xia Qi was just a passenger, but now it seems that he has become a real passenger. Became a crew member.

Locks didn't know what happened on the island, but this change was more beneficial than harmful to him, so he didn't delve into it.

With Xia Qi, a navigator who was familiar with the climate of the great route, the voyage was much simpler than imagined.

Since the magnetic field of the Grand Line is constantly changing, ordinary compasses cannot be used, so the first thing that Commander Xia Qi did was to find the nearest island and purchase a recording pointer to the next island.

This is a unique prop in the Grand Route. It can indicate the direction of the next destination based on changes in the magnetic field. Among the things that Xia Qi brought out from the palace before, apart from the sea map, the only thing left in his hand is this one. Record pointer.

If I remember correctly, the direction of this pointer is an island called Kurog. The level of development is quite satisfactory. If you want to go to the Water Capital, there should be a suitable record pointer there.

After successfully passing through the calm windless zone, the group officially set foot on the Grand Line. On the first day alone, they encountered no less than three climate changes. Sometimes a snowstorm suddenly fell in the clear sky, and sometimes a hurricane blew up.

All in all, along the way everyone has a general understanding of the dangers of this great shipping route.Even Rocks felt a little scared when he saw these climate changes with his own eyes. Sure enough, it would be difficult for a navigator who is familiar with the climate to operate on this route!

Xia Qi sat leisurely on the chair, as if he was not surprised by the weather. Locks couldn't help but ask:

"Have you been here before?"

"Yes, I left this sea area for the East China Sea half a year ago. I didn't expect to come back so soon."

Xia Qi's answer made Rocks think highly of her. People who can live here for several years are generally not simple.

"Captain, you can already see the shadow of the island!"

Edward's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between Rocks and Xia Qi. Xia Qi walked to the bow of the ship, observed it with a telescope for a while, and then said:

"This is the island. If you want to go to the Water Capital, you must have a record pointer on the island."

Locks roughly has some memories of this matter, but unfortunately there aren't many left. The vague ones are prone to bad things, so he can only rely on Xia Qi to solve it.

"After we go to the Water City to change ships, it's time to see how to recruit crew members."

Locks does not intend to be like the protagonist group, with only about ten people on the entire ship. If he wants to overthrow the world government in the future, he will need at least one country's military force, and they must all have elite-level combat capabilities. In this way, the crew The talent must not be too low, which is one of the reasons why Rocks did not recruit many crew members in the East China Sea before.

Although the East China Sea is nothing but a surprise, those famous people are still in the minority and are far from meeting Rocks' requirements. However, if there is a chance, they can be used as cadres.

And if I want to suppress these guys, I must at least be strong enough to convince them.

"It seems...that my identity is getting closer and closer to that of a pirate?"

Although Rocks has never burned, killed or looted civilians, as long as he is an enemy of the navy and stands on the opposite side of the navy, there is a high probability that he will be labeled a 'pirate'.

In fact, Rocks didn't particularly care about these aspects, but things like identity always need to be used in dealing with people, so he felt that he needed to pay attention to it.

With this idea in mind, Locks bought a lot of books after landing on the island. In addition to classics recording legends and stories from various places, there were also some other literary works. Although they were just simple things, they were just right for Locks.

"As a pirate, why do you buy so many books?"

When Xia Qi saw Rocks carrying large and small bags on board, he thought they were some valuables, but when he opened them, he saw that they were all ordinary books.

It always feels weird to see these things on a pirate ship!

"Why, who stipulates that pirates can't read books? What I want to do is enrich my cultural accomplishment, just in case I can use the knowledge in the book one day in the future!"

Xia Qi's brows twitched. This scene was too inconsistent. A murderous guy stood in front of her and told her that she wanted to be a cultural person?

Rubbing his brows, Xia Qi was too lazy to care about Locks's plan. Anyway, she only needed to do her job well, and the rest had nothing to do with her.
