One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

Page 35

Blake was not worried about this.

What you think in your heart doesn't matter, since you don't have a chance to take action anyway.

Over the past few months, Blake has had bad luck, only acquiring a few useless ability cards.

Physical fitness *1

Extra Swordsmanship *2

Extra's Armament Haki *1

Extra's Observation Haki *1

Blake planned to arrange everything for Mandy as soon as she disembarked.

With the addition of the swordsmanship he had previously acquired, Mandy's strength could be raised to the level of a vice admiral in one fell swoop.

Fighting Crocodile from the Alabasta Saga would be no problem at all.

Compared to elite lieutenant generals like Onigumo, he only lacks combat experience and physical fitness.

A vice admiral's strength is enough to protect any sea area except the New World.

After lunch, Blake lay down under the parasol as usual.

Not far away, Rami is integrating into the team.

After leaving Frevans, Victor and Arya hid in the back cabin to study solutions for platinum lead poisoning.

Blake also provided some ideas for their research.

He remembered that when he watched anime in his previous life, he was very curious about what platinum lead disease was and specifically looked up related information.

Platinum lead poisoning actually exists in the real world.

In addition to isolation methods such as staying away from pollution sources, modern medicine usually uses intravenous injection of calcium sodium edetate and oral administration of dimercaptosuccinic acid for treatment.

Although Blake didn't know what it was, he told them everything anyway.

The two of them then consciously stopped running around in front of Blake.

Although Luo is only 5 years old, he has a very mature personality. In addition, he has read some medical books and also went to help his parents with their research.

Rami, on the other hand, spent a lot of time with several girls of similar age.

Blake was happy to see this happen and planned to send Victor and Arya to Warbconding, while Rami would stay with him.

However, she was a little weak and could only watch the others play quietly with Stella.

On deck, Kella was spinning a lifeboat with one finger, while Perona quietly laid out fishing lines behind her.

After doing all this, Perona exclaimed in feigned surprise:

Wow! There are dancing dolphins!

Upon hearing this, Kella excitedly ran towards the ship's side, only to trip and fall into the pool, splashing water everywhere.

Rami, who was standing by the pool, got splashed all over, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he laughed along with the others.

Blake glanced over there, reached under the recliner, and pressed a button.

A fountain suddenly rose from the center of the deck, knocking Perona, who was gloating over her successful prank, off balance.

The smile doesn’t disappear, it just shifts.

"When we get back to the Holy Land, I'm going to install twenty hidden water guns on the ship."

Perona, soaking wet and furious, stormed up to Blake, hands on her hips.

Seeing that Blake ignored her, she rolled her eyes and reached for the plate next to her.

Just as her hand touched the cake, she was suddenly lifted up.

"This is the fourth time you've sneaked a sweet treat today. Don't come crying tonight with a toothache."

Perona pretended to be startled, and her hand slipped, causing the cake to fall onto Blake's face.

Robin watched with glee:

"Should slaves...take a picture as a memento when their master is attacked by food?"

As she spoke, she pulled out a camera from somewhere.

Blake's facial muscles twitched rapidly, sending the cake flying and hitting Robin squarely in the face.

"That's right! We can start filming now."

With that, he tossed Perona over.

With his vision obstructed, Robin didn't notice Perona flying towards him at all, and the two collided and rolled around on the deck.

Seeing this, Rami's smile grew even brighter, but then he suddenly started coughing.

Mandy handed her a bottle of medicine without any expression.

Rami opened the bottle, took a sip, and then said to Mandy:

"Thank you, Sister Mandy."

Mandy nodded without speaking, and invited Kera, who had already tidied up, to start cultivating together.

Stella placed the last buttercream flower on the cake, pushed the cart to Blake, and offered him a perfectly warm cup of black tea.

"Your Highness, we tried a new recipe today. Would you like to see if it suits your taste?"

Blake pulled Stella over and held her as they lay down on the recliner.

In fact, Blake once said that such things could be done by the maid.

But Stella seemed to truly consider him her lover, and was very content to let Blake enjoy the food she had prepared.

Blake felt his heart enveloped by the young slave girl's tenderness.

Not far away, Kella was practicing Mandy's movements, her eyes full of determination.

"Breathe steadily, imagine the energy is flowing water..."

With that thought in mind, Kerla punched the force gauge.

The machine emitted a buzzing sound, and the numbers on the screen skyrocketed, only to suddenly go black.

Kella approached the force gauge and shook it.

"It's broken again?"

She turned to look at Perona, who had finally managed to crawl out of Robin's grasp, grabbed her, and placed her in front of the screen:

"Tell me! Did you pour water into the sensor again?"

Chapter 48 This is where things get tricky?

One reason why the Calm Belt is difficult to cross is the sheer number of Sea Kings, and another reason is that most ships in this world are powered by sails.

Neither of these two points is difficult for the Temple.

Sea Kings can be dealt with using the seastone hull, and power can be provided by slaves.

They entered the new world without any major incidents.

The weather in the New World is completely different from that at sea; without a skilled navigator, it would be impossible to make any progress.

However, the world government has ruled the oceans for eight hundred years, so it can find all sorts of talented people.

One of the crew members on board the Temple knew navigation and could continue sailing towards the target island.

Blake reluctantly returned to his cabin, where the maids voluntarily brought in his recliner and other amenities.

"Is this navigator reliable or not? How come we've run into another storm?"

Seeing Perona snickering to herself, Blake grabbed her and gave her a good rub.

Stella tidied up the teacups on the table and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, there's no need to rush. We won't be able to get in anyway if we go too early."

Blake sighed helplessly.

It's no wonder that Shiki values ​​Nami so highly; her talent for sensing weather changes from a great distance is incredibly useful in the New World.

Black secretly resolved that he would bring Nami back in a few years.

He let his body sway with the ship and focused his attention back on the system space.

As his power grew, Blake became increasingly adept at dealing with those young cards.

But whether it's Garp, Roger, or Garin, all three are top-tier fighters at the Emperor level.

Being able to contend with them is one thing, but defeating them is quite another.

Unless Black fights Aokiji for ten days and ten nights like Akainu did in the original story, there is no chance of him succeeding.

Of course, it's only a possibility.

After all, in such a closely contested battle, it wouldn't be surprising who wins or loses in the end.

Blake certainly wouldn't spend ten days gambling on that 50% chance.

There are still at least 22 years until the final battle, and Black has no immediate enemy to deal with.

It would be better to wait until we are stronger and can defeat them relatively easily before challenging them.

Putting everything else aside, the Armament Haki he acquired earlier still hasn't pushed his body to its limits.

Perhaps once Armament Haki has fully penetrated his skin and tempered his internal organs, his strength can reach another level.

At that time, even without Conqueror's Haki, Black will still be able to defeat an Emperor.

After drifting in the New World for nearly half a month, the Temple finally arrived at a strange sea area.

"Lord Black Saint, the Eternal Night Sea is just ahead."

The CP, who knew how to navigate, knelt on one knee in front of Blake and bowed his head to remind him.

Blake looked out at the sea.

There, minerals ejected from underwater volcanoes drift into the air along surface cracks, reacting with the atmosphere to form a dark red canopy.

"How much longer do we have to wait? Isn't there a pointer to eternity on the ship?"

Upon hearing this, the couple was overjoyed.

He had met many Celestial Dragons, and they were usually not the kind of people who would reason with others.

He thought it would take a lot of effort to explain why he couldn't enter now.

So he immediately began to explain:

“Lord Black, we only need to wait until two nights from now for the Blood Moon, which occurs every 33 days.”

"At that time, we will be able to pass through that red mist by following the Blood Moon Path."

"And the island of eternal sleep we are visiting is an island shrouded in a special magnetic field, where navigational compasses are completely ineffective."

"Only by observing the cycle of the blood moon can we locate the entrance to the island."

Blake nodded, waved for the other person to leave, and continued to gaze at the blood-red fog ahead.

She casually tossed Perona aside, who was about to launch a sneak attack on her from behind.

They have absolutely no tact!

Can't you see he's trying to look profound?

Two days passed quickly, and the night of the blood moon arrived.

The full moon hung high, shrouded in red mist, appearing particularly eerie.

"Set sail! Follow the moonlight! Quickly!"

Navigator CP urged the slaves on board to set sail quickly.

Ahead, a road paved with moonlight was faintly visible in the mist.

"There are so many wonders in this world."

Blake stood at the bow of the ship and sighed.
