Chapter 33: New uses for points, skill levels ()

The next day.

Sunlight streamed through the window, spilling across the bed.

Lin Que lazily opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

The alluring figure that should have been by his side was already gone, but sounds were coming from the kitchen.

"You're awake."

Nojiko walked in carrying a plate of food: "Nami said she had some things to do and left a little while ago."

"If you want to see her, I can help lead the way later."

Lin Que shook his head: "No need. There will be plenty of time to spend together in the future; let her have some time to herself for now."

"Alright."

Nojiko shrugged and changed the subject.

"What are your plans for next?"

"Are you thinking of staying in Cocoyasi Village, or are you heading out to sea for adventure?"

"Nami might stay, but as for me, I'm leaving."

Nojiko was stunned: "You're not going together?"

"The conditions aren't right yet."

Changing into a new set of clothes, Lin Que replied leisurely: "Don't worry, I'll come back when I have time in the future."

After all, besides Nami, there was also a pretty good fruit to taste here.

Grabbing an orange from the table nearby, Lin Que waved at Nojiko.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time~ Nojiko."

As a qualified sea king, Lin Que left Cocoyasi Village without the slightest hesitation.

After greeting Nami in the chat group, he arrived in front of Arlong's palace.

After Lin Que and Mihawk's clash yesterday, this place had completely turned into a pile of ruins.

The fishmen's corpses had been chopped up by the villagers and thrown into the sea, and the money in the palace had also been dug out by the villagers.

At Lin Que's suggestion, this money was returned to its original owners based on head count.

Thanks to this, Lin Que had maxed out his favorability with Cocoyasi Village.

The reason Genzo and the others were so enthusiastic yesterday, and even why Nami didn't refuse his invitation, was at least 50% due to this inconspicuous little matter.

"Building a persona is indeed important."

Walking leisurely into the woods, Lin Que looked at Mihawk, who was still dancing.

"Sorry, I had too much fun yesterday and accidentally forgot about you."

Mihawk: "..."

He didn't want to say anything now; he just wanted to kill someone to silence them.

"Well~ don't be too sad."

Lin Que smiled: "As the saying goes, 'the old man lost his horse, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse.' You may seem to have lost your freedom, but in reality, you've gained unprecedented benefits."

"If you follow me, breaking through your current shackles to reach a higher level won't be difficult."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Mihawk didn't really want to talk to this man: "Although I don't know your background, I've already understood your goal."

"Just tell me straight what you want me to do."

"I like talking to smart people."

Lin Que got straight to the point: "First, give me a copy of the cultivation methods for Haki and your insights on swordsmanship."

Mihawk was stunned: "You don't know Haki?" ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
