The days when I wanted to be a human being

After Zhou Ling sheathed the knife, he looked at the three people calmly.

Seeing that Roger seemed to have something to say, Zhou Ling thought for a moment and said, "Roger, if there's nothing else, let's not talk about it."

"...Miao, your condition is becoming more and more abnormal, is everything okay?" Roger had actually already noticed Zhou Ling's abnormal condition a long time ago.

Roger, who has been on the sea for many years, knows that some people's personalities may be affected by devil fruits and undergo tremendous changes.

"Really? Isn't this normal?"

"Okay, as long as you think it's okay. We just mentioned that we are going to enter the doldrums. I'm afraid we will need your help tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I know. It's okay, that's all."

"Click."

After Zhou Ling finished speaking, she went straight into the captain's room.

Sitting in the chair, she fell into deep thought.

It's not like she didn't notice her situation.

After using the mature sister form, her emotions became calmer and calmer.

She has maintained this form continuously for half a year. During this long period of time, she has discovered that in this form, her learning ability and thinking ability have shown a significant improvement.

But the corresponding personality has indeed undergone some changes.

Although the previous blow was largely due to the weapon, if it were her old self, it would not be so clean and neat. At the very least, she would definitely remind Roger and Rayleigh who were standing in front of her.

After working as a nanny for half a year, Zhou Ling discovered that the advantage of the queen image was that she was extremely rational.

There won't be any obvious fluctuations in emotions, and no matter what happens, you can handle it calmly.

As for how to become a qualified nanny, Zhou Ling could only laugh.

During this period of time, it was Flame Dragon Armor who took care of the baby, and she only held him occasionally.

What she often did was to ask Roger and others for advice on fighting techniques.

As for the idea of ​​finding a place to live for ten or eight years, she has never given up.

After much thought, Zhou Ling decided that it would not be too late to leave after leaving the Grand Line. After she saw how bad the weather was on the Grand Line, she became even more determined to leave.

It was sunny just a second ago, but when I turned around, a strong wind started to blow.

Although Zhou Ling could tolerate this kind of environment, there was no need for it.

But actually the most annoying thing is taking care of that little brat.

It is extremely troublesome to take care of a child who has not yet been weaned. Whenever Zhou Ling hears the child crying, she feels very annoyed. To be honest, if she was not in her current state of being a cool and arrogant lady, she would have probably run away.

Fortunately, I have the Flame Dragon Armor as a substitute.

Zhou Ling had a rough guess about the little brat's identity.

One of the future Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks.

The man who cut off his arm for the protagonist Luffy.

But guesses are just guesses. The letter that Roger found at that time should have contained more accurate information, but when Zhou Ling asked him, he said that the letter was lost.

Just gave the kid a name.

Shanks.

When Zhou Ling heard this name, all she could feel was "Haha".

Zhou Ling didn't believe Roger's lies about the lost items, but she had no choice, so the matter was left unresolved.

Anyway, she would be leaving soon, so it didn't really matter what the child's identity was.

If she had gained anything in the past six months, it was apart from communicating with Roger and others about the difference between domineering aura and the life energy she controlled.

The reward for that proxy operation finally arrived.

It just adds a new function to talent 2.

Temporary reinforcement: You can spend a certain amount of free attribute points to temporarily strengthen the item. This temporary reinforcement can be used once a day. If the temporary reinforcement is not fixed, the reinforcement will be cancelled on the second day and the used free attribute points will be returned.

It may not seem to be of much use, but in fact, it is very useful. At least she can know in advance which item will have the greatest benefit when strengthened.

And there is no need to worry about the consumption of attribute points, and the cost of trial and error is greatly reduced. It’s just that there is only one chance per day, which means it takes a little longer.

Of course, she also followed the advice of "her" and strengthened her new talent for the first time, using it on the standard military knife.

Hidden Edge (Color)

Effect: The longer the blade remains hidden, the more powerful it becomes.

Note: Why don't you try adding some ingredients?

The enhanced instructions are extremely simple, even crude.

But in actual use, it is extremely convenient.

Just pull out the knife and chop. No skill is required at all. The longer the blade stays in the scabbard, the sharper it will be.

As for the explanation behind that, Zhou Ling had no idea for the time being. "Adding ingredients"? Could it be using the fusion of talent 2?

Zhou Ling had nothing else on hand except the thumb-sized piece of metal, so he could only collect some things later and try again.

As for why the sea monster was instantly smashed into pieces after being chopped down, it had something to do with the second devil fruit that she had fused into her mature sister form.

As long as you kill the enemy directly in this state, your enemy's body will be turned into a box.

By default, only she can open the box. No one else can open it without her permission, no matter what method they use.

As for why Roger and others wanted the box so much, it was because the blood produced by the ability of the Box-Box Fruit could not only change the target's appearance, but also contained the target's energy, which had the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing energy.

This is why Roger and the others like this thing.

Once, Roger secretly mixed blood from the Sea King box into the crew's wine, causing some crew members to turn into life-sized Sea Kings, which scared everyone. From then on, Rayleigh and others refused to let Roger touch that thing.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ling kept a copy for himself.

"Tsk~"

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a licking sound.

Zhou Ling reacted immediately and realized that the little kid had woken up.

She looked at the floor, where the little brat was lying on the ground licking the 'blanket' she had spread on the ground.

Maybe life energy has an inexplicable attraction to little kids.

"Xiao Kai, is the pacifier gone?" Zhou Ling asked. She really wanted to take a camera to take a picture of this scene, and then show the picture to him and his crew members when Red Hair became famous.

Hey.

Zhou Ling suddenly felt evil.

"Xiao Kai, do you have a camera function?"

"Master, this system has a camera function, but it requires the master's permission."

"Oh... then, next time you take photos, you must not take photos of me and the Flame Dragon Armor."

"Received, permissions loaded."

"Take a few pictures of Shanks first, and then save them in the armor space."

"Master, the authority of this system to the armor space has expired. Please request authorization again."

"Got it. Authorization." Zhou Ling was speechless about the creator of the auxiliary system. She had to figure out everything on her own, like taking pictures. If she didn't ask today, she didn't know when she would find out.

As for the control right of the armor space, she had placed the pacifier of the life energy card in the armor space and let the auxiliary system take it by itself. Later, she found out that the system needed her authorization to use the armor space.

At first, she was annoyed by the authorization, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that this was not a bad idea, at least it guaranteed her sovereignty to a certain extent.

Zhou Ling felt relieved only after the auxiliary system took out a pacifier for the kid and the kid finally stopped licking.

After all, she had replenished the 'blanket' on the ground many times.

I don’t know if life energy has a promoting effect on growth and development. Today’s kids are already much bigger than their peers.

"Ah...Mom..."

After hearing the little kid's cry, Zhou Ling barely understood what he said.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the little kid's development level was indeed beyond her imagination. He was able to call her mom a few days ago.

Although Zhou Ling really doesn't like being called that.

"I told you not to call me mom." Zhou Ling complained helplessly, and then she suddenly thought of the auxiliary system that was with the kid all day long. She looked at the Flame Dragon Armor beside her, "Xiao Kai, did you teach me this?"

After all, if a child knows how to speak before he learns to talk, it must be because someone teaches him.
