Alone and Infinite

The main reason that prompted him to immediately push Kurotan into joining the Navy was the convenience of the position.

Naval officers' pay consists of two parts, one of which is currency, namely, peles.

The other part is 'contribution'!

Contribution points can only be used within the Navy, but they can be used to buy valuable items that would otherwise cost exorbitant amounts of Beri.

Devil Fruit! 21 Great Grade Swords! Navy Six Styles!

And so on, all of which can be purchased with contribution points.

The contribution points come from two parts.

The daily salary is a fixed contribution point each month based on the job level.

And achievements—capturing pirates, completing missions, and being evaluated in the headquarters' governance.

Therefore, with the idea that every little bit helps, Li Xia immediately had Kurotan join the Navy.

Now the kitten is wearing a navy hat and standing on the ship's railing.

The mini navy coat she wore fluttered in the sea breeze, its sleeves dancing up and down.

Black Charcoal's round, large eyes gazed intently into the distance.

Yes, that’s what it feels like!

Cool!

Li Xia and Heitan's noses twitched simultaneously as a faint fragrance wafted from behind them.

Sure enough, after a moment, a slightly deep, hoarse female voice said:

Tina really wants to know why you went to Jaya Island.

Li Xia did not turn around. The person who came was also a naval colonel, known as "Black Fence" Tina.

His catchphrase was using his own name instead of 'I'.

"Then where else can we go, to the new world?"

Li Xia straightened up and turned to look at the aloof beauty with long pink hair:

"That's not a place for a colonel, unless he's a detachment commander in one of the major bases."

"Tina knows, you want to be one too—"

Tina's gaze was cold and calm as she stared ahead.

There were some things she didn't say, but Li Xia could guess what she meant, probably something like the Celestial Dragons.

Some truly righteous officers within the Navy naturally disapproved of the behavior of certain colleagues.

They would also give them nicknames in private, such as 'Little Celestial Dragon'.

Li Xia didn't want to answer; it was pointless.

Hei Tan gave her a disapproving look.

The bow of the ship fell silent for a moment.

Neither of them spoke, but simply watched the beautiful scenery under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Until a small dark shape appeared in the distance, on the high lookout tower, the marine on lookout was waving a flag.

The messenger shouted, "Gaya Island is almost here!"

The ship immediately sprang into action.

Li Xia suddenly said, "Tina, you're from the 'Prison' unit, right?"

"Yes."

"Could you please stay on Jaya Island for another day?"

The icy beauty turned her face and looked at Li Xia:

Tina wants to know why.

Li Xia's gaze was fixed on the approaching Jaya Island, and it seemed that he could see the lively atmosphere inside the tavern even from a great distance.

"That way I won't have to use a Den Den Mushi to call you back."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Black Charcoal jumped onto his shoulder.

Tina paused for a moment, then suddenly understood, and her eyes widened in shock.

Does this man mean to clear all the criminals off Jaya Island in one day?

How could that be? No matter what, Jaya Island is a large island with tens of thousands of permanent residents, plus merchants, pirates, and others, with a total population of over 100,000!

Cleared out in one day.

While she was still in a daze, she suddenly saw a small boat speeding towards Jaya Island.

There weren't many people on the boat, and Tina immediately spotted Li Xia standing at the very front.

The navy coat he was wearing swayed in the strong wind.

"Tina is furious! Does he even know what he's doing?"

Tina gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Even though this is the first half of the Grand Line, which is known as 'Paradise,' the pirates here are still ferocious, and there are even many great pirates with bounties of over 100 million!"

It requires the intervention of the commander-in-chief; they are far beyond the capabilities of a small, newly-set pirate from a weak sea like the East Blue.

"adjutant!"

Tina suddenly turned around and shouted loudly:

"Speed ​​up the entire ship and get to shore as soon as possible! Prepare for support."

At this moment, Li Xia felt no fear of pirates and had no idea what Tina was thinking.

He stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes filled with longing for 'contribution points'.

Capturing a pirate will earn you contribution points based on the bounty!

Not too many, just ten or so pirates with over 100 million, and he can exchange them for a lot of good stuff!

"By the way, boss, let's compare our strength. How do we compare? After all, we've already taken down the Third Hokage. We can't be weak in One Piece, right?"

Xiao Long once again had the idea of ​​playing electronic cricket fighting.

Li Xia pondered for a moment. It was true that he had killed the Third Hokage, but first Orochimaru provided support, and then there was the strategy of using the old man to defeat him.

In the end, I resorted to a shortcut, but my skills have also improved considerably.

Stroking his chin, Li Xia finally gave a plausible answer:

"Probably a lieutenant general!"

------------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 341 The Dazzling Sword Light

Li Xia could only give a vague guess as to what level his strength could reach.

Ultimately, you only know the truth after you've fought it.

But I'm sure I haven't reached the level of a general or one of the Four Emperors.

According to some intelligence gathered in the hall, those above the level of generals and emperors are already at the fourth rank.

There is a huge, insurmountable chasm, like an island that can be destroyed with a single punch, and a fight that can change the weather.

Changing the geographical environment is commonplace, and most importantly, in the world of One Piece, skill-based combat is merely harassment.

What truly determines victory or defeat is close-quarters combat, where blows land squarely.

In other words, these powerful individuals all hone their physical bodies, possessing astonishing endurance and incredible physical strength.

This type of physically strong individual can truly unleash their full potential.

A third-tier top-level apostle is roughly equivalent to a royal vice-president, but in a real fight, it's uncertain who will live and who will die.

Can Li Xia be considered a top-tier Tier 3 player in the top 100 of the arena?

It's enough, but not quite enough. In terms of combat power, it's definitely enough, but in terms of attributes, it's lacking quite a bit.

"Hmm, one of the stronger lieutenant generals."

Li Xia made a more accurate judgment once again.

"That's alright, at least we won't run into those perverts at this time."

Awoo huddled inside its dragon egg, only its head peeking out as it gazed at the approaching Jaya Island.

Black Charcoal suddenly meowed.

Li Xia and Ao Wu were both stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The question the kitten asked was actually quite important.

If we consider the timeline, this time we've been given 100 days, which is enough for the story to continue until the end of the Marineford War.

Li Xia's strength was not decisive in the Marineford War, which was one of the most important events in the early stages of the story and even in the entire series.

At least a general's strength is needed to have an impact on the battlefield, and even that impact might not be decisive.

So the kitten asked, since the Apostles' strength is insignificant, even the boss couldn't influence the outcome of the Marineford War.

So what is the significance of this main quest?

"The boss's main mission this time is definitely different from the other apostles. Maybe it was specially customized for the boss by the Temple of Light."

Teacher Ao went online again. He and Li Xia had both thought about this issue and reached a similar conclusion.

"Starting from the Executioner, the boss's settlement in every world has been outstanding. We are also the only SS-level solo guild in the third and fourth tiers."

The boss's evaluation in the Hall of Light is absolutely ridiculously high.

In our situation, ordinary tasks are actually a constraint.

When Cloud of the Brotherhood of Steel first entered the Hall of Fame, he explained to himself that as one's rank increases, the gap between Apostles also widens.

Profit differences of ten to twenty times are commonplace, even though it's still the same world.

However, the dynamic task generation system will ensure that each apostle has a suitable and challenging task.

"As for this strange main quest—"

Teacher Ao smiled slightly, with a calm and detached air that suggested he had seen through everything.

"There are countless original worlds, and who can guarantee that their strength will be sufficient every time in an original world?"

Therefore, the meaning of the hall is quite clear: it's about what kind of answer the apostles can deliver when their strength is insufficient.

This is how Aowu and Li Xia interpret this main quest, which seems to have no primary objective.

"Meow!"

Hei Tan nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again at Jaya Island under the night sky.

Awaken! It's hunting time!

"Hey, Iron Hand Suk, you old codger, you're still alive?"

A burly man with his shirt open, revealing a chest covered in black hair, held a wine glass and shouted:

"I thought you'd died under some widow's crotch."

The dim lighting illuminated the tavern, and the smells of alcohol and food mingled with the stench of smoke and sweat, creating a strange, almost nauseating odor.

A burst of shrill laughter suddenly erupted in the tavern, and people involuntarily looked towards another table.

Iron Hand Suk scratched his head nonchalantly with his right arm, which was covered by an iron glove.

He grinned, revealing jagged, stained teeth, and gave a similarly nasty smile:

"Ah, I've already played that widow to death. Now her daughter, who delivers milk, has taken her place."

It's ridiculous. I told that widow that as long as she cooperated, I would let her daughter go once I got tired of her.

As a result, when I played this widow to death, she was still smiling.
