Chapter 34: Approaching Shadow
The weather in the new world was really unpredictable. Before, there was a sudden heavy rain, but not long after, it was already a good sunny day.
The sun is not strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is soft. In the New World, such weather is very rare. The few white clouds hang lazily in the air, weakly covering the ships below and Not so strong sunlight.
The sea breeze was very warm, and the smell of salt gently blew on his face, giving people a feeling of comfort from the bottom of his heart.
At least, Vlad felt very comfortable now. This kind of leisurely feeling was really great.
This is a merchant ship. Yes, merchant ships. Don't think that there are only pirates in the new world. In fact, the power of the new world is complicated. In addition to the Yonko of the new world, there are countless forces.
There is no need to talk about the giants of various underground forces. Everyone knows that there are many tycoons like Fiery Bird and Golden Emperor. Although the Yonko rule the world, they don't care about these guys. After all, for the four monsters, there is no need to care about these rats in the dark.
In fact, even in the new world, there are businessmen. After all, the new world is only a small part of the sea in the world. It is really small, so the Yonko of the new world are not as powerful as imagined.
The new world is big, so many resources they need can not be produced by themselves. Therefore, the business of sea merchants is very natural. The merchants attached to many underground kings are not very afraid of the pirates of the new world. Except for the pirates and the greenhorns of the new world, I am afraid that no one will dare to touch them.
Vlad was now on a merchant ship like this. This ship was really a merchant ship attached to a Chamber of Commerce in Tesoro. Never underestimate the mentality of merchants pursuing profits. It was a will stronger than Luffy who wanted to become the Pirate King.
Vlad wanted to go to the paradise. There were only three paths he could choose. The first was the method used by many pirates. Through the passage below the Red Sea, he would go to the paradise through the Fishman Island.
This was actually very dangerous. There were actually many powerhouses who died at the bottom of the sea every year. After all, humans were very weak at the bottom of the sea.
The second path was more troublesome. They crossed the windless belt and entered the four seas. They entered the paradise through the inverted mountains. Although the windless belt was the habitat of sea kings, it was undoubtedly an absolute forbidden place for humans.
But that was all. For real powerhouses, those sea kings were just big fish, and they were not threatening, not to mention that Vlad could fly.
However, for Vlad, this was too troublesome, okay? It was too troublesome to go to the four seas first and then take a detour to the paradise, okay? If there was a more relaxed way, why did he have to do so many troublesome things?
So he chose the third way. Basically, no pirates would choose this road, or no pirates would choose this road, which was to directly cross Marygeoise and enter the paradise.
As the center of the world government, Marygeoise was naturally heavily guarded, but it was not forbidden to go through. As long as he applied in advance and got the permission of the direct government, he could cross over. Although it would take a lot of time to abandon the ship and apply, it was very safe.
For Vlad, these two conditions were practically non-existent. This ship belonged to Tesoro. As a man who could use Berry to shake the Celestial Dragons, the ship of Tesoro could be passed by after a slight inspection. The time problem naturally ceased to exist. As for abandoning the ship? Who cared about him? It was not Vlad's own ship.
Vlad was leisurely sitting at the end of the ship, holding a fishing rod in his hand. He was leisurely fishing. Behind him, he was dressed in a maid outfit, struggling to do push-ups.
Don't misunderstand,
Although Baby-5 was very weak, it was still overwhelming for ordinary people. The reason why she felt strenuous was because this push-up was not simple.
Several large pieces of iron overlapped together, pressing down on the delicate back of the maid. It looked a bit shocking, making people have to wonder if there were people who abused women.
"Damn it!"
The maid's voice sounded very angry. "You bastard! I will kill you sooner or later!"
"Wahaha!"
Vlad did not even turn his head. He laughed and replied without any sincerity, "Then you have to work hard. With your progress, it might be a bit difficult to kill me!"
Although she said she was unwilling, in fact, the maid consciously followed the cultivation guide that Vlad had set up every day. Vlad sometimes wondered if this woman was the legendary masochist.
The delicate maid was working hard to train her body, but the well-built men were fishing leisurely.
"Damn it!"
The maid's arms were trembling, and her body was shaking. It could be seen that she was really close to her limit.
Vlad did not seem to care about the maid's body at all. "Come on, Miss Maid, don't give up!"
"There's still two hundred and fifty to three thousand. If I can't hold on before this, I won't help."
There was no hint of a joke in Vlad's eyes. "If you are smashed to death by iron, it only means that you are here!"
"Who needs your help!"
Baby-5 roared angrily. Her body, which was originally trembling incessantly, had somehow gained strength from nowhere. Her weak arms suddenly became powerful again. The push-ups that she could no longer do began to work again.
A hint of a smile flashed through Vlad's eyes. Sure enough, goading was useful. In the world of One Piece, or in other words, the world of hot-blooded comics, there was a universal law. That was, strength was not enough to gather the will. People who had strong willpower could often become strong people.
This was even more obvious in the world of One Piece, haki, especially the Haoshoku was the embodiment of the will. Luffy relied on his tenacious will to defeat many strong enemies.
Although Baby-5's current performance seemed unreasonable, it was actually very consistent with the basic laws of One Piece world.
"Good day, little brother, can you give me a ride?"
Just as Vlad was satisfied with the maid's performance, a voice came over. Vlad subconsciously turned his head, and immediately, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.
