Chapter 277: Xiao Hei's Secret, Stupid Nika
It has now been more than five years since Lex went to sea.
From the year 1489 in the Haiyuan calendar to the year 1494 in the Haiyuan calendar, the first ten-year plan was half completed.
New world, underground world, business blueprint, cross-sea trade chain...
These great achievements were only the first half of Lex's first ten-year plan.
As for the second half of the first ten-year plan, Lex already had a plan in mind - the beginning of the Great Pirate Era!
Time is running out, and it will be four years until that fateful year - 1498 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Four years may seem long, but it can also be short and pass in a flash.
At this moment, Lex finally returned to the West Sea, Fenghuai Qianli with Gion.
As soon as Gion returned home, he couldn't wait to find Barrett who had hidden himself early.
"Little Barrett, come and spar with your sister."
Gion transformed into a fallen angel, fluttering his dark wings and flying over the sky above Fenghuai Qianli, with his observation Haki fully activated, looking for Barrett who was hiding in some corner.
Ever since becoming a fallen angel, Gion has been keen on flying. In the past, it was Lex who took her to fly into the sky, but now, Gion herself also feels the joy of gliding high in the sky.
Lex did not pay attention to Gion and Barrett, but immediately brought Teach in the different space to the side of the Red Earl.
"Master, I'm in trouble."
"Well."
Releasing Teach who was imprisoned in the different space, the Red Earl took a look at this ugly and ordinary little black fat boy, and then activated his vampire fruit!
Then, a sharp conical nail extended from the Red Earl's slender index finger and pierced straight through Teach's body.
With his top-notch mind-reading and observation skills combined with the special ability of the vampire fruit, the Red Earl read out Teach's memory in a moment.
Immediately—
The Red Earl stabbed his index finger into Lex's body again, and transmitted the memory to Lex through the blood ability of the vampire fruit.
Memory reading and memory transmission are such convenient capabilities, unique in the past 800 years.
Lex waved his hand and activated the alien space again, locking the bewildered Teach into the alien space, while he began to carefully analyze Teach's memory.
[The Drum Kingdom… Black medical skills… The former user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit… Alien transformation… Soul symbiosis… Three souls… Demons storing souls… Three fruits…]
[Locks D. Gibeck...mistress...orphan...Teach! ! ......]
[Dark-Dark Fruit... Taking away the power of devil fruits... Trinity... Dark D... Dark... Will of Jibek]
Lex's eyes kept flickering. After a while, Lex and the Red Earl looked at each other, and both saw a hint of shock and shrewdness in each other's eyes.
Suddenly.
Lex said:
"Master, it seems that the matter of the extra fruits has been resolved."
The Red Earl was also surprised by Titch's memories. He never expected that an ordinary little black fat boy was actually the illegitimate son of Rocks, but inherited his mother Marshall's surname. He was an orphan since childhood and made a living by fishing.
However, there is a huge secret hidden in this tiny body!
That is - how to eat the second or even the third devil fruit!
Lex smiled suddenly, a deep blue light flashed in his palm, and a devil fruit appeared on his palm.
"It seems that the Swallowing Fruit that was accidentally recovered a few years ago does have a crucial use."
"You are always prepared for the future."
The Red Earl was already accustomed to Lex's forward-looking strategic vision.
That's right, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit that transformed Teach into a devil fruit that could hold the power of three devil fruits had already been quietly obtained by Lex!
There is no doubt that this is the power of the first authority in the ocean. As long as some interesting or important fruits appear in the ocean, Lex's intelligence network will notice them, and then Lex will go to recover them.
Over time, the number of devil fruits stored in Lex's hands reached hundreds, which was no less than the devil fruits in the so-called treasury of the Celestial Dragons.
However, Lex has not heard any information about extremely special fruits like the Nika Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit. These are devil fruits with powerful self-will. They will find hosts on their own and are victims of strange fatalism.
However, in Lex's view, the strange fatalism that the Nika Fruit will find a host on its own is simply clownish behavior, as stupid as it can be.
Why does the Nika Fruit belong to Luffy? Why does the freedom-loving King Luffy have to eat the Nika Fruit that is bound by fate? Why does Monkey D. Luffy, whose dream is to become the Pirate King, have to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to Joy Boy? Why does Luffy have to become some shitty Nika Warrior and beat the stupid drum of liberation?
Luffy is Luffy, a Luffy with a pure heart.
The Luffy who ate the Nika Fruit is not the innocent Luffy at all, but Joy Boy, who was backstabbed by Im and failed to fulfill the will of the great kingdom. He occupied Luffy's body, or to put it bluntly, it is possession of another's body.
The people on the sea have lived in dire straits for 800 years, and then suddenly a Nika warrior appears, claiming to be the orthodoxy for 800 years, the king of the sea, and kills the 'evil world government', liberates everyone, and brings freedom. Is that a happy ending?
Stop being a fucking idiot!
In Lex's view, his carefully planned ten-year plan is the real way to liberate the sea.
What Lex did was to truly tell the world what power is. At the Pentles World Expo, Lex did not hesitate to risk offending the dead government and convened the Sky Arena to let a group of top players wrestle and fight. Through the video Den Den Mushi facing the whole Qinghai, he directly told everyone what true powerful force is.
Then, at the huge risk of offending many celestial dragons, he openly auctioned off Don Quixote's family of celestial dragons, just to tell the world that as long as one has power, even celestial dragons are nothing and can be auctioned off as slaves.
It’s that simple.
And four years later, the day Roger opened the Great Pirate Era—
Lex wants to do something bigger, even if it means completely offending the World Government. They are all ready for an all-out war that day.
On that day, Lex will truly open up the market, including methods of practicing domineering skills, advanced physical skills, swordsmanship manuals, cheap artificial devil fruits, cheap new weapons, and even the manufacturing drawings of ancient weapons! !
All of Lex will be spread all over Qinghai, and everyone will know it!
The so-called destiny should never be in the hands of so-called Nika warriors.
Destiny is in the hands of power. Only by controlling power can you control your own destiny.
Lex certainly knew that the consequence of doing so would be to cause unprecedented chaos, and the sea would become bloodier and darker, but so what?! ~
The sea has been dark and chaotic for 800 years. Moreover, according to the original timeline, after Roger opened the Great Pirate Era, the era itself began to run wild. Rex was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire.
This is also the reason why Lex admires Roger even more, because Roger's thoughts and values are almost the same as Lex's. After learning the truth about the world, Roger chose to start the Great Pirate Era, making everything more chaotic and more unknown, and Lex did the same.
The darkest night comes before the dawn.
Lex was prepared for everything.
When all the evil spirits are destroyed, Lex will usher in a true era of freedom.
——An era in which people can freely choose their own destiny!
