The days when I wanted to be a human being

Chapter 173: Navy or Pirates, Does It Matter?

Life card!

Even after so many years, Zhou Ling still remembers the setting of the One Piece world vividly.

The Life Card is made of special materials mixed with the fingernails of the owner of the Life Card. After it is made, it is impervious to water and fire.

The life card also reflects the owner's life status.

But its most important function is navigation.

When torn in half, the two halves attract each other.

As long as you hold a life card sub-card, you can follow the direction of its movement to find the person holding the main card.

If she guessed correctly, there must be a life card in the straw hat.

As to whether it was Roger's, that was not clear.

At least there is a direction.

Zhou Ling considered that the straw hat belonged to Roger, so it was very likely his life card.

But considering Roger's character, he wouldn't deliberately throw the Life Card and the Main Card into some corner, right?

Zhou Ling guessed, but he still thought it would be more appropriate to use his talent to take a second look.

【Straw Hat (Orange)】

Effect: Contains someone's life card. Following the guidance of the life card, you can find that person.

Note: This item is the only item in this world, please use it with caution.

Enhancement: Cannot be enhanced.

Zhou Ling never expected that a straw hat could reach orange quality.

But considering its rarity, it doesn't seem to be a problem to make it a little more advanced.

At this time, Zhou Ling began to make new plans.

The previous plan was to throw Shanks to those scholars and run away by herself.

But now she had to start considering taking Shanks to find Roger, although there was a very small probability that the destination pointed to by the life card was not Roger.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Ling still felt that it would be better to just take Shanks and run away.

Anyway, no matter whether the destination of the life card is Roger or not, she is going to run away, just taking one more person with her.

After thinking of a plan, Zhou Ling put the straw hat back into the arms of the sleeping Shanks.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Ling began to train Shanks with higher intensity.

She had originally planned to run away quickly, but she suddenly remembered that it might take some time for her to use her mental power normally.

If you want to take Shanks to find Roger, it would be extremely difficult without the support of mental power.

So she planned to find something to do while waiting for her mental strength to recover.

"Great, there's no need to do this."

Shanks said hesitantly, holding the green knife that Zhou Ling had given him earlier.

The knife in Zhou Ling's hand at this time was the same one he used last time.

"The enemy doesn't care how old you are. If you don't want to train, go study history with Dr. Clover."

Zhou Ling held up the broken knife that was full of gaps but still intact, and spoke calmly.

"What are you hesitating about? Is it because you saw how powerful I was yesterday and now you don't dare to come forward?"

"You are such a coward, kid. You want to protect me even though you are like this. Don't make me laugh to death."

"If you're like this, I'm afraid the navy won't want you as a handyman."

"what!"

Shanks listened to Zhou Ling's words and temporarily put aside what he was thinking. After shouting loudly, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Zhou Ling who was standing leisurely.

"Qiang!"

Zhou Ling lowered her head and looked through the two swords against each other, looking into Shanks' eyes, with a faint smile on her lips, "Shanks, anger can certainly give you courage..."

"But...it can also make you lose your cool."

"Qiang!"

Shanks swung the green sword again and slashed at Zhou Ling, whose feet had never moved.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

Every time Shanks swung his sword, it was easily blocked by Zhou Ling.

"You kid, the more you talk, the more excited you get, right?"

Watching Shanks still chopping without any plan despite her words' stimulation.

Zhou Ling still didn't understand what was wrong with this guy today. Although her words just now were a bit sarcastic, it shouldn't be to this extent.

When we were sparring normally, I would quickly calm down and listen to her.

It couldn't be that she didn't wear the clothes he bought?

As time passed, Shanks chopped slower and slower, but Zhou Ling still dealt with it without caring.

Gradually, Shanks' swinging movements became slower and slower.

"Shanks, could you please move your head? Chopping and chopping like this won't solve the problem."

Looking at Shanks who was breathing heavily, he was still doing useless work after hearing her words.

"Qiang!"

Zhou Ling seized the opportunity and took advantage of the moment when Shanks' old strength was gone and his new strength had not yet been generated to chop his sword away.

"call out!"

The tattered long sword, reflecting the sunlight, stopped at the side of Shanks' neck.

"What's wrong with you today, kid? What's on your mind?"

After Zhou Ling put the knife back into the sheath, he threw it to Shanks.

She walked towards the beach, her eyes always fixed on the sea.

"Are you angry that I didn't wear the clothes you bought for me?"

Zhou Ling felt that if there was any problem, she should just speak up and have a good communication.

Although she has no experience in being a parent, she has received many years of modern education and she understands that there is no problem that cannot be solved by communication.

If so, it's because you're not communicating enough.

"Think about it carefully, kid."

Zhou Ling didn't even move his head, he just rolled his eyes, glanced at Shanks, and took out the Hidden Sword.

"It looks like I'll be busy today. I won't have much time to practice with you from now on. You can train on your own."

Her eyes were always on the sea.

Because three ships flying pirate flags appeared there.

Since Zhou Ling's eyes never left the pirate ship, she didn't see that after Shanks heard her words, the color of his ears was approaching the color of his hair.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Zhou Ling walked quickly towards the pirate ship using the Moon Steps.

She did not forget the subsequent development of the ability of the Box-Box Fruit.

Although the devil fruit cannot be strengthened before fusion, she discovered a phenomenon one day before that the blood taken out of the box can be strengthened.

Moreover, after being strengthened, she can control the time of changing her appearance.

Now that the material is delivered to her door, she will not waste it.

"call!"

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the bang bang bang sounds.

Just now he was still thinking about how to cover up what Zhou Ling said.

Because Zhou Ling really told him what was on his mind.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling didn't ask any further questions.

Shanks glanced at the sword in his arms, then looked at Zhou Ling who was flying away in the sky.

"Miao...from now on...I will protect you."

He muttered something and clenched his fists.

...

As expected, Zhou Ling was bombarded by the pirate ship in mid-air.

After she unleashed a few slashes to cut off the projectiles coming towards her, she increased the speed of her Moon Steps.

Without the help of mental power, moving in the air is quite difficult.

While thinking about how to recover the use of mental power as soon as possible, he quickly dealt with the first pirate ship.

Zhou Ling stood on the deck, looking at the pirate ships on both sides.
