Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

After a brief conversation with Xia, Long said goodbye to him.

Before leaving, he gave Xia a new phone number as a means of contact between the two in the future, and carefully reminded Xia that all future contacts must be encrypted by the White Den Den Mushi.

Then he left in a hurry.

After Xia saw Long off, he stayed where he was, thinking carefully about Long's words.

Combined with his understanding of the original work in his previous life, Xia increasingly felt that Long’s analysis made sense, and it might even be the truth of the matter!

Xia's mood also became heavy because of Long's words.

If it was really as Long said, then he should have made plans earlier.

The Dragons...

Xia once again transformed into an element and flew, using the guidance of the life card to cross the red earth continent again and fly back to his ship.

It was already late at night, and Xia landed quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone.

As soon as we entered the cabin, Lily came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of soup and said.

"You haven't eaten yet, Xia, have a bowl of soup."

Lily hasn't slept yet.

Xia was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you."

I took the soup in my hand. It was clear and bright in color, with a fragrant aroma. It was obvious that it had been simmered for a long time.

Xia was reluctant to swallow it whole, so he drank it slowly in small sips with a spoon. Lily sat next to Xia, watching him drink the soup with a smile in her eyes.

She had been simmering this chicken soup for a whole day. Just now, she used her Observation Haki to sense from afar that Xia had returned, and then she came out to serve Xia Sheng.

Xia drank the soup slowly and suddenly said to Lily.

"Lily, I have a question for you."

Lily asked confusedly.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xia considered his words and then spoke.

"Lily, suppose one day I decide to leave the Navy, what do you think?"

Lily was stunned. She never expected Xia to ask such a question.

After thinking it over carefully, he said.

"If that's your decision, then it's fine."

Xia didn't ask any more questions and drank the soup silently.

The two did not speak again until they finished drinking.

Xia packed up the bowls and spoons and was about to put them back in the kitchen when he heard these words behind him.

"No matter what happens, Xia, we will always be by your side."

Xia was stunned for a moment, then continued to move forward, but this time there was a slight smile on his face.

"Is that Pearl Island ahead?"

Xia asked Ethan while looking at the chart.

"Yes, we'll be there soon."

Ethan said with certainty.

Xia thought for a while and said to everyone.

"Let's take a short break at Pearl Island. Now that we're here, it would be a shame not to try some oysters."

Ethan and others strongly agree.

Pearl Island is an island in the first half of the New World that is rich in high-quality pearls. The nearby waters are blue and clear. Not only are the pearls of extremely high quality, but other seafood is also particularly delicious.

In particular, the oysters cultivated in Pearl Island are large and plump, and are sweet and delicious when you take a bite. They are one of the famous specialties of the Grand Route.

"Hey! Ha!"

The two sisters Nicole and Nilu are making full use of the time they can come out to keep watch to practice on the deck.

"Alright, alright, it's time for you two to come back. You're going to run into someone soon."

Lily shouted to the sisters.

Now Lily has become the elder sister + nanny + teacher of the two sisters. She is fully responsible for their food, clothing, housing, transportation, training and outing arrangements. Her power and status in the sisters' hearts are almost as high as Xia's.

After pestering Lily to promise to bring them some delicious food, Nicole and Nilu obediently entered their cabin and locked the door from the inside.

As the ship gradually approached the Pearl Island, we could already see fishing boats and "pearl divers" recovering pearls.

This is a profession that is particularly popular in Pearl Island, and most of the people who do this are children from poor families.

Due to years of pearl fishing, there are no traces of shellfish in the coastal areas, and people can only go deeper and deeper into the sea and rely on manual diving to catch pearls.

The rarer the pearl, the more likely it is to be hidden in the deep sea. If a pearl diver is lucky enough to pick up a rare pearl, her destiny can be completely changed!

Rumor has it that in the deep sea near Pearl Island, there is a peerless gem that takes decades to grow, but it is too deep from the land and can only be caught by fishermen who go into the sea!

But Xia and the others came here to eat, and they didn't care about anything related to Pearl.

The ship docked, and this time it was Lily's turn to stay behind. Xia and Barrett led everyone to the land.

"Hello, which store on this island sells the best oysters?"

Xia stopped a man dressed as a fisherman who looked like a local and asked.

"Hello, fellow admirals."

The fisherman was very frightened when he saw Xia and his men dressed as navy men, and he nodded and bowed.

"If you want to eat oysters, I recommend Jike's shop. His oysters are of exceptional quality. Even the other adults praised them highly."

Xia was very surprised by the fisherman's overreaction, but he didn't think much about it. He led his group to follow the fisherman's instructions and came to a small shop built on the coast.

The store was built on a beach and was made of wood. The bottom was supported by logs driven into the rocks.

The interior is decorated with various corals, pebbles, shells, etc. There is no wall on the side close to the sea, allowing guests to dine facing the sea.

The overall look has a unique island style. Even Xia, who is well-informed and has lived two lives, couldn't help but nod his head when he saw the decoration of this store.

If this had happened in the previous life, it would have been a well-known online celebrity store!

A group of people filed in, Xia knocked on the wall and said.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"I'm coming!"

A middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt ran out from the kitchen, sweating profusely.

"I'm sorry, Marines. I was just preparing the food and didn't hear you coming. Please excuse me."

The owner of this store, Jike, apologized to Xia and the others.

Xia frowned, wondering why the people on this island had such a strange attitude towards the navy. He planned to take a closer look around the island to see what was going on.

"We heard that the oysters in the store are very delicious, so we came here to try them. I wonder if it's open now?"

"Open! Of course we're open! We just happened to have a batch of fresh produce. I'll prepare it and serve it up. I guarantee it'll be delicious!"

As soon as Jike finished speaking, he hurried back to the kitchen to start cooking.

Xia and the others each found a seat and sat down to eat.

While waiting for the clams, Xia looked at the sea. The location of this store was very interesting. It was located in a groove in a narrow bay. Only the west side was close to the sea, and the north and south sides were surrounded by cliffs.

If the seabed here were a little deeper, it would be a small natural harbor!
