Chapter 115

The innate supernatural powers possessed by the true dragon race,

already included wind, rain, thunder, and lightning!

Even though the Little Azure Dragon is currently only a jiao,

unable to summon clouds and rain,

and unable to drive thunder and lightning,

its resistance to lightning,

is far beyond what ordinary life forms can compare to!

Plus, it had fused with a drop of true dragon essence blood,

and its current physique is incredibly strong!

Even though it hasn't truly transformed into a dragon,

compared to the one known as the world's strongest creature,

the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form user,

one of the Four Emperors, Kaido,

in terms of physical strength,

the Little Azure Dragon is not at all weaker than him!

Shura's attacks against it,

completely failed to break its defense!

This failure to break defense,

wasn't like hitting a body and seeing a "MISS",

but purely popping up a "-0"!

Hmm,

the difference is,

the insult is stronger!

While Shura was stunned,

the Little Azure Dragon had already launched another attack,

and was fighting Shura again!

Shura and the Little Azure Dragon,

one controlling lightning,

one massive in size,

their battle had a very wide range of impact,

and destructive power!

In just a short while,

they had destroyed countless towering trees,

and cleared out a vacant lot in this forest on Upper Yard!

If one were to look down from high altitude,

they would find,

that in this vast green forest,

there was an abrupt, extra clearing,

and the clearing was a mess, scorched everywhere!

It was like on a thick, black head of hair,

suddenly pulling out a part of the hair by the roots,

creating a bald spot!

Fortunately, early on when the battle started,

Luo Bin and Luffy had taken Zoro and the others to a safe area,

otherwise,

being affected by this intense battle,

their injuries would probably have been even more severe!

The battle between Shura and the Little Azure Dragon,

although quite noisy,

seemed evenly matched!

But in reality,

Shura was completely being suppressed by the Little Azure Dragon!

After all,

after the Little Azure Dragon shed its snake skin and became a jiao,

it now has a cultivation base equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation,

and even facing an Admiral-level opponent, it wouldn't fall behind!

Although it was on a sky island,

its innate supernatural power to control water couldn't be utilized,

but just by relying on its strong physique,

it was enough to suppress Shura to death,

beating him until he had no power to fight back!

More importantly,

because the Little Azure Dragon has spiritual power,

Shura's elementalization was useless against it,

and he could only flee in embarrassment!

Before long, he was covered in wounds,

and seemed ready to fall at any moment!

Just at this moment,

Nami, in Li Xiao's arms, suddenly hugged Li Xiao tightly,

with such force,

as if she were trying to use all her strength to break Li Xiao!

Li Xiao looked down,

and happened to meet Nami's eyes!

Nami was biting her lip,

tears were faintly flickering in her eyes,

and she was trying hard to control her emotions!

After staring at Li Xiao for a few seconds,

Nami finally couldn't hold back,

buried her head in Li Xiao's arms,

and cried out loudly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too weak, every time you have to save me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"I, I don't want to be like this either, I want to keep up with your pace, I don't want to drag you down, but I have no choice..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... it's all my fault for being too weak..."

Hearing this,

Li Xiao reached out and gently stroked Nami's orange hair,

and after a few seconds of silence,

After a few seconds of silence,

he comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's okay!"

"You've only been at sea for a few months, the road ahead is still long, don't be in such a hurry!"

"Also, I've had some thoughts on how to improve your strength!"

"Next time we find a suitable opportunity, I'll help you solve this problem!"

In fact,

regarding Nami's strength problem,

Li Xiao had long since considered it!

Back in the East Blue,

Li Xiao had the idea of helping Nami embark on the path of cultivation!

It's just that,

among the many check-in rewards,

Li Xiao had never obtained any other cultivation techniques!

And the "Purple Cloud Clearing Truth" that Li Xiao himself practiced,

had relatively harsh cultivation conditions,

and wasn't very suitable for Nami!

Therefore,

it had been dragged out until now!

However,

according to Li Xiao's deduction,

among the check-in rewards,

cultivation techniques shouldn't be too hard to obtain!

For example, Li Xiao obtained a "Hundred Refinements Spirit Shedding Sutra" when he checked in at Amazon Lily,

it's just a pity that this is a cultivation technique for the demon race,

and Nami couldn't cultivate it either!

But this was enough to prove,

that there were other cultivation techniques among the check-in rewards,

and they weren't that hard to obtain!

If nothing went wrong,

by checking in at a few more special locations,

he would eventually obtain a normal human cultivation technique!

At that time,

he could help Nami officially embark on the path of cultivation!

Actually,

Nami, as the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates,

was never meant to be a combatant,

and having weaker strength wasn't a big problem!

It's just that because of Li Xiao's existence,

Nami always wanted to catch up with Li Xiao's pace,

fearing that if she walked too slowly,

one day she would be left far behind by Li Xiao,

and would never be able to catch up again!

Therefore,

Nami always had a sense of anxiety about her own strength!

Coupled with being saved by Li Xiao time and time again at critical moments,

while making her more dependent on Li Xiao,

it also deepened this anxiety,

making her doubt herself,

and always feeling like she was dragging Li Xiao down!

Li Xiao naturally didn't think so!

The reason he had always protected Nami like this,

was because this little thief cat was truly special in his heart!

This specialness and importance,

were constantly deepened through their bonds,

and had absolutely nothing to do with Nami's strength!

After all,

with Li Xiao's current strength,

he was already standing at the very pinnacle of the One Piece world's combat power!

If he could go a step further,

and break through to the Spirit Refining and Void Returning realm,

he could even easily sweep through the entire One Piece world,

without needing any external help!

even if one of the Four Emperors were to clamor about joining his ranks,

he wouldn't be interested at all!

Alas,

from Nami's perspective,

she always felt that she had caused Li Xiao a lot of trouble,

and she didn't want to be such a vase-like character!

Regarding this,

Li Xiao had no way to help,

he could only hope to obtain a new cultivation technique as soon as possible,

so as to help Nami embark on the path of cultivation!

And before that,

perhaps he could consider using some other means,

to temporarily enhance Nami's strength!

Just as Li Xiao was lost in thought,

a loud noise came from Upper Yard beneath his feet!

He saw the Little Azure Dragon swing its dragon tail violently,

slamming Shura fiercely into the ground!

Subsequently,

it gathered a large amount of spiritual power onto its dragon claws,

and slammed a claw down at Shura on the ground!

Shura lay helplessly on the ground,

although he wanted to struggle desperately,

but unfortunately, in the battle just now,

he had already been seriously injured!

The Little Azure Dragon's tail swing,

became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
