Chapter 26

Li Xiao’s strength was only at the level of an ordinary Admiral.

And Mihawk,

that was solid Emperor-level combat power,

and even the ceiling of swordsmanship in the pirate world!

If Li Xiao and Mihawk only clashed for one sword strike, they could barely be evenly matched,

but if they continued to fight,

Li Xiao would gradually fall into a disadvantage!

Of course,

this was only in the case of using his own strength!

If it were a true life-and-death battle,

Li Xiao would directly summon the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda,

put an invincible buff on his main body,

and then use his Sword Control Art,

manipulating the Qingshuang Sword to hack away until the end!

Take life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, just fight!

With Brother Pagoda’s protection and Sister Sword’s assistance,

Li is afraid of no one!

As for why Mihawk looked more sorry,

the reason was simple!

As early as the beginning,

Li Xiao had already used spiritual power to protect himself and the wooden board he was standing on.

Therefore,

after this sword clash,

Li Xiao not only didn't get a drop of water on him,

but even the wooden board he was standing on didn't suffer the slightest damage from the aftermath of this sword strike!

From this, one could see the unique advantage of spiritual power!

Compared to the Haki, swordsmanship, etc., of this world,

spiritual power appeared to be more powerful and omnipotent!

Not only could it be used as an offensive means,

but it could also be used to protect one’s side and heal injuries, etc.,

Li Xiao’s use of spiritual power just now was only the tip of the iceberg.

As for why he did this,

there was no other reason,

just to show off~~

Although Li Xiao had no interest in those messy empty names,

he was still very happy about showing off casually!

Living in this world,

one always has to find some fun for oneself!

At the same time,

Mihawk looked at Li Xiao, who was still standing quietly in place,

with an expressionless face,

and the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even stronger!

After the sword strike just now,

he could already be sure,

that the swordsmanship strength of the person in front of him was not inferior to his own at all,

and he was a rare opponent!

Meeting an opponent,

Mihawk only felt more and more excited,

so he raised his hand and was about to continue swinging his sword! ===== CHAPTER 83 =====

and so he raised his hand, ready to continue swinging his sword!

(Apologies, I had some things to take care of today so the update is a bit late. This melon is still typing away and will try to update two more chapters. Also, thank you to the readers for the flowers and tickets these past few days. Much appreciated~~).

Seeing this,

Li Xiao hurriedly shouted:

"Hey, we agreed on one move, if you attack again, I won't take it!"

Hearing this,

Mihawk had to give up,

put the sword back behind him with a sense of unfinished business,

and then said to Li Xiao seriously:

"I didn't see wrong, your strength is indeed very strong, if there is a chance in the future, let’s have a contest again!"

Hearing these words,

Li Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes!

A contest,

a contest your banana peel!

Having a contest with you once is enough,

and you still want a second time?

This is purely jumping high in the toilet—too much (shit)!

Don't disturb my cultivation if you have nothing to do!

After leaving here and going separate ways,

who would have a contest with you!

On this vast sea,

I don't believe you can find me!

Li Xiao took the Qingshuang Sword back into his body,

and said to Mihawk:

"We’ve fought, now that you’ve agreed to help me, you should help, right?"

Mihawk was slightly stunned,

as if he didn't expect Li Xiao to need his help so soon,

but he still nodded and said:

"No problem, what do you need me to help with, tell me."

"Hey, it’s no big deal, it’s just that I’m planning to go to Loguetown later, but I don't have a boat, how about you give me a ride?"

Hearing this,

Mihawk was silent for a moment,

and said:

"But my boat only has one seat."

"That seems to be true..."

Li Xiao nodded, touched his chin and said:

"Then how about, I leave you behind?"

"............Actually, squeezing in is also possible!" ===== CHAPTER 89 =====

A moment later,

Mihawk went along the floating planks to retrieve his black top hat,

while Li Xiao returned to the deck of the Baratie in a few leaps.

Just as Li Xiao landed on the deck,

Nami rushed up to him, unable to wait.

However, compared to before,

she was much more restrained this time,

and did not throw herself into Li Xiao's arms again,

which left Li Xiao feeling somewhat regretful for a moment.

Li Xiao looked down at Nami's right hand,

seeing that the sapphire bracelet he had just given her was already worn on her wrist,

while the solid gold cat ornament

was not in her hands,

and he didn't know where it had been hidden.

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao suddenly remembered something:

if Nami knew that the Sumeru Ring on his finger had a massive internal space

and could carry a vast amount of treasure,

would she try every possible way to trick him out of it?

Li Xiao collected his thoughts and asked Nami:

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Nami answered subconsciously:

"Zoro's injuries are a bit severe, so I'm planning to take them to Cocoyasi Village to find the village doctor for further treatment. It would be best to recuperate in the village for a few days!"

After saying this,

Nami suddenly realized something

and asked in return:

"Are you leaving again?"

Li Xiao nodded.

The reason he asked Mihawk for a ride

was because he had guessed that the itinerary of Nami and the Straw Hat crew would likely not align with his own!

Now it seems

his guess was correct!

Nami was silent for a moment,

then continued to ask:

"Then where are you going?"

"Hmm~ I'm planning to go to Loguetown!"

Li Xiao's next destination was Loguetown.

As the place where the Pirate King Luo Jie was born and died,

the check-in rewards there should surely be no worse than those in Windmill Village!

Seeing the disappointment almost written on Nami's face,

Li Xiao smiled and ruffled her orange hair,

saying:

"Don't worry, we will meet again!"

"And when I have time, I will return to Cocoyasi Village. The oranges you and Nojiko grow are truly sweet!"

Hearing this,

Nami hurriedly took an orange from that familiar place and handed it to Li Xiao,

saying:

"Um, I don't have many oranges on me, just this one. Here you go!"

"Next time you return to Cocoyasi Village, I'll take you to pick oranges!"

Li Xiao took the orange,

nodded,

and laughed:

"Alright, then let's meet next time!"

After saying this,

Li Xiao gave the little thief cat one last pat,

turned, and walked toward the edge of the deck,

where Mihawk was already waiting in his coffin-like boat.

Li Xiao stepped onto Mihawk's coffin boat,

turned his head to wave at Nami,

and then suddenly remembered something,

shouting to Luffy nearby:

"Hey, Luffy! Your grandfather is looking for you. He said he wants to treat you to your favorite 'Love Fist'!"

Hearing Li Xiao call him,

Luffy stood up abruptly,

turned to look at Li Xiao,

and shouted in surprise:

"Hey, you know my grandpa!"

But the next second,

he immediately reacted,

his face instantly turning terrified,

and he yelled:

"What? That old man is coming to find me???"

"Ahhh! Zoro! Zoro! Zoro! Let's go! Let's go!"

"Ow! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Luffy! Don't pull on my wounds!!!"

Amidst Luffy's frantic scrambling,

Li Xiao and Mihawk sailed away on the small boat.
