One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

Page 73

Unlike the others, Ginny was truly rebellious, so Blake didn't have her shackles removed.

Blake looked at Ginny with a half-smile and teased her:

"How does it feel to be back in Mary Geoise again? Is there anything different?"

"how do you know?"

Ginny's eyes widened.

Judging from Blake's age, he probably did not experience the God Valley incident.

Even those who experienced the events of that year might not recognize her after all these years.

There were quite a few young people present at both the God Valley incident and the Mary Geoise arson incident.

As they grew up, the World Government never recognized them.

"See, you've missed the point."

Blake leaned back, reclining on the deck chair and squinting his eyes.

"Shouldn't your biggest concern right now be why I brought you back?"

Ginny was taken aback, then her expression returned to anger, and she asked:

Why did you arrest me?

Blake was speechless. Why did Ginny seem a bit dull?

A wicked smile spread across his face:

"Want to know? I'm not telling you."

Before Ginny could get angry again, Blake continued:

"None of that matters. From this moment on, you are the maid of this manor!"

"So, do you have any fond childhood memories you'd like to share?"

Ginny's childhood was certainly not pleasant.

She was enslaved from the age of four until the God Valley Incident when she was a teenager, in which she escaped.

As a result, after living in the Kingdom of Sorbe for several years and only recently joining the revolutionary army, he was captured and brought back.

Seeing that Ginny still seemed a little unconvinced, Blake waved his hand and had her taken away.

Now, Ginny has developed a rebellious spirit and, like Tengetsu, is completely incapable of settling down.

However, Black's only expectation of Ginny was that she would pass on some information to the Revolutionary Army when he needed it, and help the Sweat King make up his mind.

Time flies in Mary Geoise, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of those four years, both the sea and Blake underwent tremendous changes.

Shanks found Yasopp in the East Blue, and Yasopp began his journey of abandoning his wife and children in pursuit of a free life.

After years at sea without any news, Usopp and his mother were destitute.

Looking at it this way, Kaido is really a good father.

In addition, two years ago, thirteen-year-old Rob Lucci began to show his talent.

During a hostage situation, Lucci single-handedly killed all the hijackers and hostages, completing a successful Russian-style rescue.

From then on, the reputation of the world government's strongest genius in eight hundred years grew ever stronger.

After hearing about Lucci's situation, Luo began to train even harder.

He hadn't forgotten that when Blake first approached him, Rob Lucci was the one he was comparing him to.

Luo had no intention of losing to his opponent under any circumstances.

Kuzan became the second admiral after Sakazuki, codenamed Aokiji.

Interestingly, in his inaugural speech, he elaborated on many points that directly contradicted Akainu's earlier statements, and he also gained a large number of supporters from the Navy.

It could even be said that the number of Navy personnel who agree with Aokiji's views far exceeds the number of hawkish Navy personnel who follow Akainu.

Akainu was so angry that black smoke was billowing from the audience.

Doflamingo and Sengoku either shared a tacit understanding or had similar views.

In short, Doflamingo sent Vergo to join the Navy, making him a Donquixote Family spy planted within the Navy.

As the Don Quixote family's influence in the North Blue grew, the Navy couldn't sit still any longer.

Sengoku decides to send his adopted son, Rosinante, Doflamingo's younger brother, back to the Donquixote Family to become a Marine spy planted within Doflamingo's inner circle.

To be honest, Blake didn't like Rosinandi.

The saying goes, "A father should conceal the wrongdoing of his son, and a son should conceal the wrongdoing of his father; this is the essence of righteousness."

According to traditional values, if a family member commits a crime, the family should help cover it up.

Indeed, from Blake's moral perspective in his previous life, he did not advocate for covering up wrongdoing.

But you can't use your family's trust to go undercover.

Doflamingo is truly pitiful. It's hard to imagine his mental state when he learned that Rosinante was an undercover agent.

Having experienced several outrageous actions from his relatives, it's not surprising at all that Doflamingo later turned into a psychopath.

Although this kid wasn't exactly a good person when he was young.

Rebecca, who should have been born a year ago, has been completely wiped out by Black, that big butterfly.

Cyrus is still on the lowest level of the Temple, pedaling, and hasn't seen the sun for several years.

Forget about his strength, his eyesight has almost completely deteriorated.

After Scarlett came of age, she was naturally taken into Black's household, and she never showed any intention of getting pregnant.

Besides these events at sea, many changes also occurred at Black Manor.

With Blake's help, Mandy successfully reached the level of a great swordsman.

His strength is no less than that of Vista, the division commander of Whitebeard.

Blake originally planned to send her back to the Kingdom of Warbcondin after she grew up to establish an external base.

However, it was delayed for various reasons.

Now, Mandy is unwilling to leave Blake's side.

After thinking for a moment, Blake agreed.

However, he sent someone to contact the king of the Kingdom of Wobucondin, who was Mandy's father.

After Mandy communicated with the other party, a base was still built in the Kingdom of Wobukangding, which has now become the main area of ​​activity for Huangmu and others.

Koala's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he should now be able to reach the level of a weakened version of Kizaru.

Fifteen-year-old Robin has grown into a graceful young woman, and her appearance is not much different from that in the original work.

Although Perona is already ten years old, she is still like a child who never grows up, and she brings Blake a lot of fun every day.

Rami successfully survived his ordeal, and with the help of the Victors, his platinum lead poisoning was stabilized.

The ones who changed the most were Toki, Hiyori, Ginny, and Hancock.

When Hiyori first arrived in Mary Geoise, she was just a six-year-old child.

She is very adaptable and has become completely accustomed to life at Black Park over the past few years.

Although he couldn't completely forget the deaths of his father and brother, he didn't have any thoughts of enduring hardship and biding his time, and he had integrated into his current environment.

Tianyue saw that her daughter was becoming more cheerful day by day and gradually regained her senses, no longer being in a daze.

For her, the initial blow must have been even greater, but over the past few years, she has gradually begun to accept her fate.

Unable to defy fate, one can only accept it; Tian Yueshi had already developed a "give up" mentality.

The members of the revolutionary army were quite determined, and she was clearly just playing along.

She followed Blake around every day, behaving like a maid, and even took away many of Stella's jobs.

She thought she was doing a great job, but in reality, she had absolutely no talent for acting.

Not to mention Blake, even Perona had her doubts.

As for Hancock...

This has become Blake's most satisfying work to date.

Chapter 96: The Cannon Fodder Plan Begins!

"Your Highness, please have some tea."

In the training field, just as Blake folded the wings on his back, Hancock handed him a cup of hot tea, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.

Blake chuckled and ruffled her hair. Hancock squinted her eyes, looking completely relaxed.

This is what Blake has accomplished over the past four years.

Besides these people, Blake showed great curiosity about the CP members after Rob Lucci's Russian-style rescue two years ago.

A thirteen-year-old can kill hundreds of people. Are the talents of your CP's reserve members really that high?

He acted like a typical Celestial Dragon, showing up at the CP training base and declaring that he wanted to personally train a few CP seeds.

As the organization that has the most contact with the Celestial Dragons, CP knows very well that these guys are capable of coming up with all sorts of ideas when they get carried away.

Without hesitation, they brought the reserve agents from the training camp to Blake and let him choose for himself.

So Black easily brought Kalifa and Alpha back to the manor.

Two years ago, Kalifa was only ten years old, and Alpha was only eight. They had only been in the CP training camp for a short time and had not even completed the most basic brainwashing education.

But this is just right.

If the brainwashing is complete, Blake will have to worry about them later siding with the World Government.

It would be ridiculous to force two undercover agents into your own inner circle.

He also casually took a Devil Fruit from CP's warehouse—the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit.

This is clearly a rare space-type Devil Fruit, but it has not received much attention from the World Government. Instead, it has been placed in CP's warehouse, intended to be used as a reward for agents who have made contributions.

But that's not surprising. The Love Love Fruit is a rule-based Devil Fruit, and it's still in the hands of that idiot Grossis, isn't it?

Black gave the Door-Door Fruit to Stella.

Stella, who is neither good at nor fond of fighting, can develop in the direction of support, so she won't have to carry her little bag around all the time when she goes out.

In addition, Blake's unintelligent system also provided him with considerable assistance during these four years.

In one gacha pull, Blake finally got the character he had been longing for—Barolorick Redfield (old age).

The most desired Zoan-type Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Vampire form, was also revealed.

After several more experiments, confirming that the ability cards could help users awaken their abilities, Black decisively ate the Vampire Fruit.

After using the ability card, the Vampire Fruit entered its awakened state.

It must be said that the awakening of a Devil Fruit is truly a tremendous boost.

In addition to the super-fast regeneration and four-dimensional enhancement that all Zoan-type awakenings possess, their abilities have also undergone tremendous changes.

The sonic attack and the significantly increased flight speed were to be expected.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Black's sonic attack could not only cause mental damage, but also induce hallucinations in the enemy and even interfere with their use of Observation Haki.

In order to maintain their peak condition, original Vampire Fruit users need to constantly absorb the blood, lifespan, and stamina of other people.

After awakening, the Vampire Fruit greatly reduces dependence on others, allowing the user to maintain peak condition for extended periods with minimal blood consumption, thus achieving a unique form of immortality.

In addition, the blood mist field formed after awakening can directly absorb the life force of creatures within its range and force them to age without physical contact.

Since the Vampire Fruit is a very complex Devil Fruit, Black may still have many abilities to develop.

Over four years, the gacha system certainly couldn't have only drawn one elderly Red Earl.

Therefore, Blake's improvement over four years was naturally more than just that.

As his Armament Haki improved, it completely merged with his body.
