"Ms. Kuleha, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia. It was my idea to put Rami here. Thank you for your care over the years."
Kuleha then retracted her foot and asked naturally, "Ha, do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth?"
"If you can, it would be nice if you could tell me. I have quite a few women under me, and I believe they would like this secret very much."
Kuleha was helpless. It was the first time she talked about this topic. If someone agreed with her, it would be meaningless. What she wanted to see was others yelling in frustration, "No one asked you this."
"Oh, it's big brother." Rami happened to look outside the house and saw Xia Zheteng at a glance, so he came out to greet him happily.
To her, Xia Zheteng was her lifesaver. If it weren't for Xia Zheteng, she would have probably died of perthirty-six disease.
"I'm here to pick you up. This place is no longer suitable for you to stay. Of course, you are still in the learning stage, so I will find you a new place to study."
"But……"
"Go ahead." Kuleha said suddenly, "He's right. This country is no longer suitable for you. What's more important is that the medical skills you need to learn are not just about curing illnesses and saving lives. There are many special treatment methods at sea."
Xia Zheteng glanced at Kuleha. The longer you live, the more powerful you are. This woman must have been restless when she was young and must have sailed on the sea, so she knows more than others.
Rami then said "oh", stood up, and bowed deeply to Kuleha.
Over such a long time, Doctor Doriel has become her relative.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die yet. No matter how things change here, I will always be here. If you have time, you are welcome to come back and see me anytime."
"I will, Doctor Doriel."
Rami went forward and hugged Kuleha.
At this time outside the house, after receiving the report, Valpo, Dalton, Jace and Cromalimon came to Kuleha's house.
"Damn it! Someone actually dared to kill my guards. They are courting death."
Dalton is still Valpo's subordinate. He frowned and said, "The other party seems to be a strong man. Should we..."
"So what if he's strong? I can kill him anytime I want. I want to make all those who resist me understand that I, Valpo, am the true ruler of this Drum Island."
Inside the house, Xia Zheteng naturally knew that the four people outside had arrived, but he ignored them. Rami said goodbye to Kuleha for a long time. After the two talked for a few more words, Rami packed up some of his things.
Then he followed Xia Zheteng out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Valpo standing out.
"Who was I then? It turned out to be...ah, it's you?" When Valpo saw Queen Xia, his eyes popped out and his face turned pale.
"Oh, have we met before?" Xia Zheteng looked at Walpo, a guy with such a distinctive look, riding a hippopotamus. If he had seen him before, he would definitely not forget him, but he had no impression of him at all.
"Haha, how could I possibly know you? I've only seen your wanted poster... No, I've seen your portrait."
Oh, now I understand. Although Xia has rarely appeared recently, wanted warrants are still posted everywhere.
After all, a bounty of 20 billion is not a small amount.
"Is that so? Now that you know me, are you planning to stop me?"
"No, no, no, it's a misunderstanding. How could I stop you? Do you want to leave here?"
"Yes, leave."
"I'm here to see you off. Yes, that's it. I'll prepare the salute right away."
Xia Zheteng gave Walpo a helpless look. It was the first time he heard of sending off a salute. Shouldn't salutes be used only for welcoming people?
"Forget it this time. I'm too lazy to chop you."
Xia Zheteng took Lamy to the island port and said, "Oh, by the way, Lamy has also been taken care of by Ms. Kuleha over the years. I am very grateful to her."
Valpo gritted his teeth, then noticed Xia Zheteng looking back at him.
"Understood, understood. Don't worry, Ms. Kuleha, we will take good care of it."
"That's the best." Xia Zheteng ignored him and walked quickly in front.
While Valpo was looking at Xia Zheteng's back, he was wondering whether he should call the World Government directly. Xia's appearance here was a big event.
But what if the other party can’t catch Xia? That would be a problem.
Forget it, just pretend you didn’t see it.
I have to say that this guy Valpo is timid and cowardly, but he still has some brains.
Soon they returned to the ship. Xia Zheteng also saw that some doctors who chose to leave their hometowns were at the port. They had sad faces and boarded another passenger ship.
Xia Zheteng shook his head. A great medical country was ruined by Valpo.
But then again, it might be precisely because the medical superpower was destroyed that Blackbeard had no interest in occupying this place after he came here.
I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
The boat left the shore.
"Big brother, where are we going this time?" Rami asked curiously. Although he was saved by Xia, Rami actually didn't stay with Xia Zheteng for a long time.
Rami has grown up a lot and is no longer the child who made simple choices.
"Let's get to know some sisters first. But then again, those guys are quite different in age from you, so it's normal to call them aunt."
As they were talking, a large ship appeared in front, and behind it were several merchant ships.
The flag above is obviously the merchant fleet of Bellumel.
Xia Zheteng looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately took Rami and flew onto the largest merchant ship.
There was no one else on the deck of the merchant ship except Bellumel. When he saw Xia Zheteng bringing Rami up, he was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, you're lying to a little girl again. Is she even younger this time?" Rami is only 16 years old now, so of course he doesn't look that old. He's still a child.
"You underestimate her. Lamy is not an ordinary child. She is now an excellent doctor."
"Doctor." Bellumel was happy. There was really no doctor in their merchant fleet. It was good that he came.
Chapter 170 Shanks Aims for the Throne
Lamy was assigned to Bellumel, and the next thing she had to learn was combat skills.
If he followed the merchant fleet, he could not only learn but also the risk was low. For Lamy now, safety was the most important thing.
Rami needs to train himself, and at the same time, he can get Luo's support through Rami, which is very necessary.
Xia Zheteng left quickly.
Given Xia's identity, it is not appropriate for him to appear for too long.
Soon, Xia Zheteng, who had disguised himself again, sailed towards Kraikana Island on the Grand Line.
Not long after he left, the navy's warships also arrived here. In the end, Valpo couldn't help but report the news of Xia's appearance to the World Government.
“Plululu…”
"Hello." Xia Zheteng answered the phone lazily.
"Xia appeared in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. Where are you?" The voice of Warring States came.
Xia Zheteng yawned and said, "I was just about to go see Hawkeye. Didn't the Shichibukai want him to join?"
"Borsalino went to the Drum Kingdom, and Xia appeared there."
"Is that so? Do I need to go over there? But then again, by the time I get over there, the guy will have already run away. Besides, I don't even know what he looks like. He can blend into the crowd at will. This method won't work at all."
Zhan Guo is also helpless. I know it won’t work, but there is really no better way at the moment.
There seems to be some movement from the Celestial Dragons recently. If Xia cannot be captured in time, it is very likely that this operation will be disrupted. Therefore, it is better for the Celestial Dragons to take precautions.
"Let's go there sometime."
"No, I've already entered the fast lane. I'll be at Kraikana Island soon after I exit the lane."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. The Celestial Dragons are planning to visit the South China Sea recently, but they are also afraid that Xia will appear, so the World Government has put a lot of pressure on the Navy, hoping to catch Xia before the visit."
Xia Zheteng's mouth corners stretched. So, planning to visit the South China Sea is really a good idea.
Should we use it? If possible, we might be able to make the Celestial Dragons suffer a setback.
There is something to do, and there is nothing happening here in the short term, so it would be a good opportunity to attack the Celestial Dragons. Maybe we can even snatch some good Devil Fruits.
As for the Celestial Dragons, the more chaos there is, the better.
However, to plan this, we need someone's help.
"Okay, I understand. We'll be at Mihawk's place soon. I'll tell him about the Shichibukai, and then we'll go to Drum Island. Don't worry, we won't be late. Xia isn't that stupid. He won't wait for us there."
Zhan Guo also sighed. He knew that the biggest reason why Xia offered such a high bounty was because this guy was really hard to catch.
Although there is a portrait, we have no idea what this guy really looks like. All we know is that he is a devil fruit user and is currently using the power of the Pikachu Fruit.
What can we do with this information?
"Okay, it's up to you."
Hearing this, Xia Zheteng laughed. Next, he would need a special person to help.
But before that, we still have to find someone who has committed a heinous crime.
Xia Zheteng took out the wanted poster on the boat and started reading it.
"Hey, when did Shanks' bounty increase? Wow, this is heading straight for the throne."
After thinking about it, it seems that next year will be the year when Shanks ascends the throne, so there will definitely be something exciting to watch then. After finishing things here, I must go to the New World for a tour.
At present, my own strength still needs to be improved. In addition, after my team becomes stronger, I also need to start training some people.
For example, Rami is an option.
According to the doctor, Marco's Phoenix seems to be a good choice, and I happen to have one too.
As for the ability of the Lightning Fruit, Luyadi doesn’t know whether she wants to use it or not. She has to ask her to find out.
Only when all members of Xia have grown strong will they be qualified to challenge the World Government.
Well, that’s settled.
Soon, Xia Zheteng arrived at Kraikana Island.
When the baboons saw Xia Zheteng, they immediately scattered. If an ordinary person went to the island, he would definitely be chopped up. However, these baboons still remembered Xia Zheteng. This guy could fight to a draw with the strong man on the island, so they could not afford to offend him.
When I arrived at the castle, I found Kuina practicing swordplay in the open space outside.
After Hawkeye's teaching, Kuina's swordsmanship has improved a lot, and now she can stand on her own.
But just as Koshiro said, she still lacks some strength.
By the way, there is also the Lili Fruit, but no one knows who has this fruit now.
We have to look for it slowly, it should be in the New World.
Otherwise, he would not have been found by Blackbeard and given the fighting championship.
Go look for it when you get a chance.
"Mr. Xia Zheteng, you are here." Guina was very polite.
"Don't worry about me, but I haven't found anyone with the power of the Power-Power Fruit recently."
"There's no need to rush. I feel like I still have a lot of room for improvement."
Xia Zheteng nodded and learned swordsmanship from Hawkeye. As expected, his horizons were broadened.
"I'm going to find Mihawk. You continue to train. Your goal is to be the best swordsman in the world. Come on."
After saying that, Xia Zheteng walked towards the castle. Kuina also made a cheering gesture and continued to practice.
After entering the castle, I soon saw Hawkeye sipping red wine.
"Still as cool as ever." Xia Zheteng stepped forward, took the cup and poured himself a glass.
"You came to me to talk about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?"
"I guess so. I'll have to be busy elsewhere. Sigh, life in the navy is so hard."
"Then you can become a pirate. With your strength, whether you form your own fleet or join any other faction, I believe it will be very attractive, right?"
This is true. Xia Zheteng just shrugged. It’s not like the pirate hasn’t thought about it before, but not now, at least not before his commando captain appeared.
When you have enough strength to fight against the king, that is the time to show yourself.
"By the way, I have something to do recently. Do you plan to take Kuina away or should I take her with me?" Hawkeye suddenly said.
