Chapter 11 Maple Tree Village
Lex was in a different space, moving towards the West Sea, but not very fast. He could not forget her red eyes when she said goodbye to Gion. He could vaguely smell Gion's fragrance on himself.
"But some things are more important."
Lex muttered to himself, no longer confused, and accelerated towards the West Sea.
There are only two most important aspects when utilizing the alternate dimension for movement: the degree of fruit development and physical strength.
The more developed the fruit is, the more physical strength it has, and naturally it can move faster and farther.
What's more, you can move many people with you. As for moving objects, there are even fewer restrictions. Of course, if you ask Lex to teleport an island, it's possible, but it's a bit energy-consuming.
As for the different space where things are usually stored, it is a special different-dimensional space developed by Lex alone - the permanent space!
However, the volume of the permanent space is not large, and it has to expand little by little. After the expansion, it will be fixed forever, becoming a mezzanine space between several dimensional spaces. Even if the user dies, it will always exist, but it will not be known to others. This is somewhat similar to the awakening of the nature system - permanently changing the environment.
Over the years, especially after the fruit awakened last year, Lex's permanent space has reached a level of tens of thousands of cubic meters.
There is no doubt that Lex is powerful.
And now, he was arriving at the West Sea at a very fast speed to complete the first really big thing after officially going to sea.
Conquer Lusca!
Who is Luska?
The king who rules the Calm Belt, a deep-sea behemoth with the pure blood of ancient sea kings, the world's largest octopus sea king, over 1000 years old, whose size exceeds that of the Elephant Lord, the true king of the pirate world!
Luska has his own name, which was given to him by Joyboy's comrades, meaning "the powerful king of the sea".
So Luska is also an important part of the 800-year agreement between the mermaid princess and Joyboy.
He is the commander representing the sea kings and the most powerful general under the mermaid princess in the great war 800 years ago. The promise spanning 800 years is about to come true, and Lusca is gradually waking up. By chance, he becomes Rex's friend.
How could Rex become friends with the giant beasts of the deep sea?
He does not have the special observation Haki that can "listen to the sounds of all things" like Uncle Roger and future Straw Hat Luffy, but Lex has the observation Haki that can "read minds". After more practice, he can communicate with Lusca without any obstacles.
To be precise, the first person to know Luska was Lex's master, the Red Earl, whose observation Haki was even more unpredictable.
But Lex obviously gets along better with Luska.
While thinking about how to tell Luska later, Lex had already arrived at the first stop in the West Sea - an island near the doldrums, Lex's hometown, the birthplace of the Leon family, and where the Red Earl stayed all year round.
Thousands of miles of maple and locust trees!
Yes, the name of this large island is - Fenghuai Qianli!
As the name suggests, this large island, which is comparable in size to Marinford, is rich in resources, with green trees, dense mountains, many small lakes dotted in the mountains, and rivers and waterfalls.
What truly gives this island its soul are the maple and locust trees that stretch for hundreds of miles all over the island, whether beside lakes, on mountain peaks, or in valleys!
The entire island is covered with maple trees in the south and locust trees in the north. The eastern end is deep in the doldrums, and the west is the West Sea.
This island is a land of miracles and a kingdom of maple and locust trees.
In midsummer, green locust trees form shades and maple leaves fly for thousands of miles.
In late autumn, the locust trees turn golden and the maple trees turn flaming red, blooming in every corner of the island under the setting sun.
Maple berries and locust beans are the specialties of Fenghuai Qianli.
Sophora trees are very tall, usually over 20 meters tall, and some of the Sophora trees in Fenghua Qianli are even more miraculous, growing to over 50 meters tall, and most of them are very old.
The branches and leaves of these tall locust trees are often extremely dense, with twisted branches and tangled roots. When the locust flowers bloom in April and May, bursts of fragrance fill the entire island. If there are wild beasts walking in the locust trees, they will inadvertently shake out a locust flower rain.
The maple forest in autumn is the unique sight of West Sea. You can stop your car and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening. The frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February. The maple and locust trees for thousands of miles in late autumn are as red as a flame and as golden as a charming luster.
The flame-red maple leaves are large and when the wind blows, the leaves rustle and play the chapter of golden autumn.
Maple trees and locust trees stand in the south and north, and they miraculously converge together in the lake in the center of the island. The golden and red colors and the indescribable natural beauty reflected in the lake are breathtaking and make people feel unprecedented tranquility.
The lake in the center of the island has no name, because the east side of Fenghuai Qianli Island is deep in the doldrums, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit, let alone settle here.
Fortunately, Fenghuai Qianli is rich in resources and can be self-sufficient. There are some small villages scattered across the island, which add a bit of vitality to Fenghuai Qianli, this masterpiece of nature.
At this time, among the thousands of miles of maple and locust trees, on the island in the middle of the lake, there stood a wooden pavilion whose workmanship was not particularly exquisite.
There were two people sitting on the ground in the pavilion, with a pot of liquor in front of them. One of them picked up the pot and poured it out. The liquor slowly flowed out from the mouth of the pot and fell into the wine bowl. The ripples spread outwards and then disappeared. Then, another circle of ripples spread out, endlessly.
The Red Earl stared at the ripples that continued to spread in the wine bowl, his eyebrows drooping and his eyes deep.
"Don't stop, keep pouring."
"But it's full, Master."
"Use Haki."
Lex continued to pour the soju, but the soju in the bowl did not spill out. Instead, it formed an invisible and domineering air wall that enveloped the soju outside the bowl.
The armament color continues to be released!
"It's bottomed out, Master."
All the liquor in the jug had been transferred to the bowl, but the amount of liquor in the bowl far exceeded its capacity, so the excess liquor was just floating on top of the bowl.
"Try to use your domineering aura to return the overflowing wine to the jug."
"Why don't you drink it while it's hot? It will get cold soon."
"It doesn't matter."
Rex used Armament Haki, which was an extremely delicate application of Armament Haki. He released Haki out of thin air and lifted the wine to flow back into the jug from the mouth.
And Lex is trying hard to do this.
He slowly lifted the wine to form a stream of water, but was unable to align it completely with the mouth of the jug.
"Arrogance is the embodiment of will. Wherever the heart desires, it will go anywhere."
When Lex heard this, he only knew what the sentence meant, but he couldn't understand the rest.
However, he still tried his best to feed the wine into the jug piece by piece, but it was not continuous because he could not bend the wine. To be precise, he could not release his domineering aura into a hollow cylinder and then bend it at the same time.
Rex is now standing at the top of the ocean, but he has not yet mastered the highest level of application of this Armament Haki.
"Lex, look at that maple leaf."
The Red Earl tilted his head slightly and looked at the lake about a mile away, where a fiery red maple leaf was floating. The lake was calm without ripples. The maple leaf was resting on the lake, moving irregularly with extremely small amplitudes.
Frost has fallen on the red maples, and red leaves are floating on the water.
The next moment, the maple leaves a mile away slowly floated up without wind and stopped on the lake. The water surface below the red leaves seemed to have touched something invisible, and ripples appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the maple leaf continued to float up and moved towards the pavilion in the center of the lake at an extremely fast speed.
What is amazing is that the trajectory of the flying maple leaf actually draws a fiery red 'S' shaped arc.
The next moment, the maple leaf slowly fell and was caught between the Red Earl's two slender fingers.
The Red Earl put the maple leaf aside and looked at Lex.
"Do you see clearly?"
"Is the bending achieved by using the domineering high-speed flow?" Lex seemed to understand something.
"It's just one of the methods. There is no fixed method for the top level of domineering. Just use your heart."
Lex was a little speechless. He spoke but not completely. That's how the master spoke.
However, the next moment, the column of wine held up by Lex's armed color domineering slowly bent and flowed into the wine jug from the mouth of the jug.
If he still can't do it after reading it once, he wouldn't be worthy of being Leon Lex!
"You should find your own way to use your domineering aura. Everyone's heart is different, and domineering aura varies greatly. It's fine as long as you can let your domineering aura flow as you wish." The Red Earl reminded.
"How long did it take Master to find his own method?"
"Thirty years."
"Are you still drinking the wine? It's a little cold."
"drink."
