RNP Chapter 176 "We need domineering power."
Chapter 176 "We need domineering power."
And tomorrow, all it would take is a single order from Kuruda and several battles would begin.
However, the pride that was revealed in the hearts of Guangtou Qiang and the others was naturally seen by Kuruda. He smiled immediately, but it was actually expected. After all, who doesn't have the desire for victory?
Who doesn't want to win a battle? And before they left, he also took a look at the results of the hard work of Bald Qiang and the others over the past few months. Even Anna, who was originally the most unstable, and Yuna, who he was a little pessimistic about, were immediately relieved.
[Name: Yuna]
[Strength: Mid-level Navy Admiral]
[Details of the three colors of domineering: top level of knowledge, high level of weapons, and low level of domineering]
[Name: Soundwave]
[Strength: High-ranking admiral]
[Details of the three colors of domineering: Intermediate level of knowledge, intermediate level of armed forces, intermediate level of overlord]
【Name: Anna】
[Strength: Mid-level Navy Admiral ~ Mid-level Royal]
[Details of the three-color domineering: low-level knowledge, high-level armed, and intermediate-level domineering]
[Name: Bald Qiang]
[Strength: Imperial Peak]
[Details of the three colors of domineering: top level of knowledge, top level of armed, top level of overlord]
Everyone has made great progress, especially Anna and Yuna. After watching this, Kuruda also became confident that they can win.
And if Anna can enter the adult Medusa form by then, with the help of Yuna's singing, she will definitely be able to beat Akainu and Aokiji.
……
It was already night time, and the sea, shrouded by the pitch-black night, was remarkably calm; yet, compared to the daytime, it also revealed a hint of danger and abyss.
But at this time, a ship with lights on it suddenly brought people a sense of warmth and comfort.
But this is not the Bole of the Fallen Group. After all, the Bole is now being carried by two monsters.
But this is the Straw Hat Pirates, on board the Merry.
Yeah, let's put the lens here again.
"Okay, guys, let's start the welcome party tonight to welcome Zoro's best friend Kuina aboard."
Luffy, holding a large glass of delicious juice in one hand and a large skewer of meat in the other, said with loud laughter.
"Oh." The others immediately picked up food and wine and cheered. Some people actually took juice, as the Straw Hat Pirates had different tastes.
People here can drink alcohol, including those who like to drink, such as Kuina, Zoro, and Sanji. Others basically only drink juice. As for drinking, they can only adapt slowly. After all, one of the themes of the pirate world is fine wine.
The seven members of the Straw Hat Pirates are currently sitting at a table. On Luffy's right are Zoro, Kuina, and Sanji.
On the left are Nami, Usopp and Kaya. As the captain, Luffy naturally sits in the first seat. Even if he looks silly at ordinary times, others can only recognize this.
Just like the sheep head on the Merry and the lion head on the Sunny, they have long become special makeup mirrors for baby Luffy.
"Thank you, Captain, for letting me on board. I'll toast you a glass." Kuina picked up the glass and smiled at Luffy.
At the same time, she also admired Kuruda in her heart. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to get up.
She had originally thought there would be some obstructions, but unfortunately, Mr. Kuruda knew his new captain too well and was able to handle it so easily.
"Haha, you're welcome. You're Zoro's close friend and companion since childhood. I can trust you. Besides, there's nothing wrong with having another powerful swordsman on my ship. Besides, you're so sincere and brought so much Bailey and food."
Luffy waved his hand and smiled. At the same time, he clinked glasses with Kuina. He didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Kuina on board. The trust, strength and sincerity were all there. There was nothing for him to refuse.
But we can already hear a lot from his words.
Kuina's strength and identity have long been recognized by Luffy and others.
And for Luffy who loves to eat, Kuina brought so much food on the raft, especially meat.
He really couldn't refuse, so he happily and respectfully invited Guina to board the ship.
Of course, it's not just him, but also Nami. After seeing so many Baileys, even though she finally left the Arlong Pirates and no longer lived a life of stealing wealth on the sea for the villagers, Nami still maintained her greedy and money-loving character.
It is impossible for Nami to not have any resentment towards Kuina who almost hurt her before. But in front of so many Baileys, this resentment is nothing.
Nami became the first person after Zoro who could chat openly with Kuina.
But there is actually another reason. After seeing Kuina's strength, the timid Nami naturally wants to find a backer whom she can rely on frequently in the Straw Hat Pirates.
As for where so much Bailey came from, needless to say, it naturally includes the living expenses that Koshiro gave to his daughter and apprentice. As the head of the Shimotsuki family, he can still come up with such a little money.
And the living expenses that Dragon gives to Luffy. Although the Revolutionary Army is not very rich now, Dragon can still give some money to support his son's dream. But to put it bluntly, he actually pays out of his own pocket.
So just like Kuina had thought before, Kurada knew too much about the internal situation of the Straw Hat Pirates, especially everyone's preferences. He also knew that with a little trick, Kuina could really get in.
"By the way, Zoro, thank you for forgiving me and my father." Kuina turned around and said to Zoro next to her.
"What are you talking about? You are my family, and if a white lie can help me grow, and you are really safe and sound, so what if it happens again?" Zoro said with some blame as he drank.
It was obvious that he no longer cared that he had been deceived for so many years.
"Thank you." Kuina immediately showed a beautiful smile, but she felt very embarrassed in her heart.
After all, a white lie is still a lie.
Besides, she was really dead, but the matter of her resurrection could not be told to anyone.
At the same time, he was very fortunate and grateful in his heart. The lie that Kuruda told her was successful, and Zoro really believed it.
A reason that cannot be mentioned about resurrection, but can be accepted by Zoro.
"I'm sorry, Zoro, but I really faked my death that year. My purpose was to leave Shimotsuki Village. Although I didn't die at that time, I was not far from death."
"In fact, I had a special disease back then. If I couldn't get a timely cure, it would really cost me my life. But fortunately, my father knew a doctor who could treat me, as well as another swordsman. My father hoped that I could learn swordsmanship from him after I recovered. But in order to let you concentrate on practicing swordsmanship and to prevent you from worrying for so many years, my father put on such a show in front of the villagers and you."
What a good reason, layer upon layer, without any flaws. At least Zoro couldn't hear any problem. Instead, he felt that this was the truth of that year, the hidden truth.
After choosing to believe, Zoro naturally forgave Kuina and Koshiro. After all, as he just said, they are family.
But now, Sanji feels very uncomfortable. There are four men and three women on the ship. Before he entered, there was already a pair of childhood sweethearts, namely Usopp and Kaya.
He was naturally very envious of this. Usopp, with such a long nose, actually had such a gentle childhood sweetheart.
But they were almost married, so he couldn't say anything. He still had to respect his partners, but he would still take care of the girls on the boat.
But now, although another beautiful woman came up, wow, she is actually the best friend of Green Algae Head, he probably has no chance. Nami may still have some hope for him. After all, the remaining captain is a piece of wood, as hard as the treasure tree Adam.
But Sanji didn't know that it was impossible for Kuina and Zoro to fall in love, because they both knew that they came from the same family and had the same blood flowing in their bodies.
In other words, as for close relatives, in this sea, except for those fools of the Celestial Dragons, basically, even if other people don't know the dangers of close relative marriage, they will not allow relatives to get married.
So the two of them can only be friends, good friends with a romantic relationship.
"By the way, are you really planning to set out on the great voyage from Rogue Town in a few days?" Kuina asked suddenly, but in fact she remembered that the ghost soldier had suddenly appeared and handed her an item.
At the same time, due to the previous fight, she also understood very well that both herself and the entire Straw Hat Pirates were still too weak. She also knew how powerful the road ahead and the enemies they would encounter were, and they were not something they could contend with at the moment.
The most important point is that if you want to get in there, you have to stand there and take risks.
Haki is the key, or even just mastering it will be enough. Otherwise, the simple devil fruit ability, physical skills and swordsmanship will not be enough.
Unless the capabilities of the latter few systems are developed and practiced to the extreme.
Thinking of what Kuruda asked the Ghost Soldier to give her, she felt it was necessary for herself and the entire Straw Hat Pirates to be exposed to Haki earlier, and it would be best if they could practice it as soon as possible.
"Of course, our adventure begins from Rogue Town." Luffy continued without thinking.
Kuina gave a bitter smile. It seemed that they really didn't know what domineering was, just like herself before.
"You are too naive. From the first half of the Great Voyage to the second half and the New World, the weather and sea conditions there will be worse than the environment we are in now."
"And the strong ones there are even stronger than we imagined. Let's put it this way, as long as we encounter a person with a bounty of over 100 million, we will be slaughtered."
"We must improve our strength, especially our domineering aura. This is the key to becoming strong and continuing our adventures freely after entering the Great Voyage."
With every word Gui Na spoke, her tone became more and more serious.
Because she knew that everything she said was not a joke.
