Chapter 51

Seeing this,

Li Xiao walked up,

and smiled:

"Hmm, it seems you are very satisfied with my stomach-pumping service. Since that's the case, I suppose you wouldn't mind doing me a favor, right?"

Hearing these words,

the first reaction of the Lord of the Sky was that it was nothing good,

and it subconsciously wanted to refuse!

However,

when it saw Li Xiao clenching his fists and warming up his wrists,

it finally nodded "willingly"!

Subsequently,

Li Xiao brought the Lord of the Sky to the side of the cave,

and instructed it to be responsible for guarding here from now on,

not to let anyone approach the cave,

and even more so, not to let them destroy the Ark Maxim inside the cave!

Considering that although the Lord of the Sky was huge,

its strength was a bit lacking,

Li Xiao fed it a few Spirit-Gathering Pills!

The function of the Spirit-Gathering Pill was to increase cultivation speed after consumption,

but what effect it would have after an ordinary animal consumed it,

Li Xiao didn't know!

It might have no reaction,

or it might produce some subtle effects,

anyway, Li Xiao didn't have any other means to enhance its strength at the moment,

so he just treated it as an experiment!

Um...

To this,

the Lord of the Sky expressed: MMP! I'm acting as a guard snake for you, and you're treating me like a lab rat? For a moment, I couldn't even tell which one of us wasn't human!

After finishing the aftermath work here,

Li Xiao left the forbidden area of Upper Yard.

Originally,

Li Xiao planned to return to Angel Island to continue eating,

but after a second thought,

he dismissed this idea!

Due to the appearance of Enel’s God’s Judgment earlier,

the residents of Angel Island should now all view Li Xiao as a sinner who offended God!

Even though that so-called God had now died under Li Xiao’s sword,

under Enel’s long-term rule,

most of the residents of Angel Island had now become mindless god-worshippers!

Explaining to them was really too troublesome,

and it might even trigger a series of troubles!

Therefore,

after considering it,

Li Xiao finally decided not to return to Angel Island!

However,

under any circumstances,

nothing could stop a foodie’s determination to eat!

Although he couldn't return to the restaurant on Angel Island to continue eating,

and Li Xiao didn't know any other cooking methods besides roasting meat,

but,

he could collect ingredients first!

As long as he had ingredients,

the Blue Sea was so big,

was he afraid he wouldn't be able to find a chef?

After Li Xiao left Upper Yard,

he plunged into the White-White Sea,

and began a crazy sweeping journey!

Any creature he saw,

regardless of whether it looked edible or not,

he slapped them all to death,

and then collected them into his Sumeru Ring first!

Li Xiao swept the White-White Sea for a full hour,

before finally stopping!

At this moment,

Li Xiao’s Sumeru Ring was already piled with ingredients unique to the White-White Sea as high as a small mountain,

among which was the spicy crayfish that Li Xiao had been longing for!

However,

it is worth mentioning that,

the creature that carried Li Xiao into the Sky Island was a unique creature of the White Sea—the Express Shrimp,

while what Li Xiao caught was a unique creature of the White-White Sea—the Super Express Shrimp!

Um...

What does this count as?

The father's debt paid by the son?

The father runs and the son gets cooked?

In short,

for Li Xiao,

this didn't matter,

as long as there was spicy crayfish to eat, that was it!

After collecting the ingredients,

Li Xiao didn't linger too long,

and plunged directly into the White-White Sea!

Following the White-White Sea all the way down,

on the way he passed through the White Sea,

and finally returned to the sky above the Blue Sea!

Immediately after,

Li Xiao had a thought,

Riding Clouds and Mist,

and sped away in a random direction!

Main Text

In fact,

the random direction Li Xiao spoke of,

was truly random!

After all, being at an altitude of several thousand meters,

it wasn't realistic to want to distinguish direction!

Not to mention that Li Xiao didn't have a Log Pose in his hand,

therefore,

he simply chose a random direction and ran to the end,

he would always encounter an island!

Um,

the consequence of doing this was that,

when Li Xiao encountered an island,

he was shocked to find,

that he had inexplicably arrived directly at the end of the first half of the Grand Line—the Sabaody Archipelago!

Near the Marine Headquarters,

there was the world’s largest mangrove tree, the "Yarukiman Mangrove",

because its roots were always exposed above the water surface,

the Sabaody Archipelago was formed as it is today!

The biggest feature of the Sabaody Archipelago,

was the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the Yarukiman Mangrove due to respiration,

which formed bubbles due to air expansion,

and then flew into the sky!

The Sabaody Archipelago used these bubbles in every aspect,

such as building houses on bubbles,

making bubble cars, etc.,

thus forming a unique bubble culture.

Normally,

when entering the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain,

what followed was the first half of the Grand Line!

There were seven routes here,

and one could choose any route to sail!

But the route could only be chosen at the initial Reverse Mountain,

and once sailing began,

it could no longer be changed!

Of course,

except for people like Li Xiao who liked to run around everywhere,

and had the ability to run around everywhere!

No matter which route was chosen,

one would eventually arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago,

and then pass through the Fish-Man Island below,

or the Holy Land Mary Geoise above the Red Line,

to enter the second half of the Grand Line—the New World!

Due to the above reasons,

coupled with the fact that this place was near the Red Line,

and very close to the Marine Headquarters,

therefore,

the Sabaody Archipelago had always been a very prosperous place!

However,

the so-called prosperity did not mean it was bright and clean,

even if the Marine Headquarters was nearby,

the Sabaody Archipelago was still filled with lawless zones!

At this moment,

on a street in the Sabaody Archipelago,

Li Xiao silently chose to check in!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful check-in!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Water-Avoiding Bead]"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Heart-Clearing Mantra]"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward [Jade Hairpin]"

Compared to before,

the check-in rewards this time were much cruder.

The Water-Avoiding Bead,

as the name suggests,

was a special treasure.

Holding the Water-Avoiding Bead allowed one to breathe freely underwater,

and if activated with spiritual power,

the Water-Avoiding Bead could support a membrane around the body,

thereby isolating seawater,

allowing the user to ignore water pressure,

and survive even in the deep sea,

or even move freely!

At the moment,

it wasn't of much use to Li Xiao,

it could only be considered an interesting little gadget,

so Li Xiao put it in his Sumeru Ring,

just treating it as a collection!

Next was the "Heart-Clearing Mantra",

similar to a spell,

reciting it silently could have the effect of calming the mind and spirit,

keeping the spiritual platform clear and bright,

and it had miraculous effects in resisting some mental attacks!

Besides that,

long-term recitation could also improve one’s state of mind.

As for the last jade hairpin,

um...

from the outside,

this seemed to be just an ordinary jade hairpin!

However,

when Li Xiao checked the detailed information provided by the system,

he suddenly realized!
