Chapter 41: The Little Fox Begs for Affection, Ripple Controls the Sea

The supplies on the warship were basically just weapons and equipment; the treasure was not here. According to Lao Shu, his money should be at the branch base, but the route deviated from Luo Ge Zhen, so naturally, Luo Di would not change course for such a small amount of things.

Once everything was cleaned up, a heavy rain began to fall from the black clouds. Luo Di turned around and waved his hand: "Little ones, it's time for a banquet!"

"Woohoo, long live Captain Luo Di!"

Lu Xi Ya looked at Luo Di's back, a faint smile lingering at the corners of her mouth.

At first, she had only joined the Blood Calamity Pirates because she had made a deal with Luo Di. Back when she was in Xiang Cao Zhen, she often read reports about pirates and felt in her heart that pirates were heinous villains; she couldn't understand why people in town wanted to go out to sea.

When she boarded the ship, she had already prepared for the worst and was ready to die at any moment, but the atmosphere now was extremely different from what she had imagined. Whether it was the atmosphere on the ship or Luo Di's strength, both made her feel very at ease.

Luo Di led everyone back to the dining hall. At this moment, A Nuo was directing several crew members to move food and drinks over. They hadn't had time to rest or celebrate since they finished raiding the Star Sea nobles, and many people's stomachs were already growling with hunger.

As time passed, the crew's mindset also changed. In the past, they were terrified whenever pirates were mentioned, and even if they wanted to go to sea, they would be defeated by reality. Luo Di gave them this opportunity to gallop and rampage to their heart's content on the sea of their dreams. In their hearts, they had already enshrined Luo Di as a god-like existence, and they could discard their own lives at any time.

Even when facing the power of the World Government, they were fearless.

Inside the dining hall, cups were clinking. Ka Li Na sat beside Luo Di, playing the role of "secretary" well. Xiao En hadn't had many drinks; he was now the Chief Captain and would urge himself to remain vigilant at all times. After all, everything on the sea was full of unknowns, and no one knew what would happen in the next second.

They were now only one step away from the Grand Line, and there must be no accidents; they must not let Captain Luo Di's ideals be hindered.

The wine had been passed three times, and the food had been tasted five ways.

The crew members helped each other to go rest, and Luo Di also walked steadily toward the captain's cabin on the second floor. As his secretary, Ka Li Na naturally followed closely behind him.

There were quite a few rooms on the second floor of this ship. Lu Xi Ya's room was not far from the other side of the captain's cabin, but unlike before on the warship, the soundproofing of the captain's cabin was very good, so she didn't have to worry about hearing sounds she shouldn't hear at night.

Returning to the room, Ka Li Na immediately pounced and hung onto Luo Di, her flushed cheeks pressed tightly against his shoulder, her legs clad in white silk stockings rubbing gently, just like a Little Fox craving her master's affection.

"Luo Di, in the past, whenever I heard the title of Colonel, I would avoid them at all costs. In my heart, they were completely untouchable existences. I didn't expect that we could take them down so easily now," Ka Li Na said softly, kissing Luo Di on the neck.

"Ah, this is just the beginning." Luo Di smiled and picked Ka Li Na up in a princess carry, placing her on the bed: "There will be more battles in the future, and our name will soon resound throughout the entire sea, yahahahaha."

However, Luo Di knew that these were things for later; now it was time to get down to business.

The morning sea was surrounded by mist, the view blurred like a wispy fairyland, until the first ray of sunlight pierced through the haze, and the surroundings gradually became clear.

Inside the captain's cabin, Ka Li Na was still fast asleep. On the cabinet next to her were her skirt, underwear, and other clothing, as well as the torn white silk stockings, all of which attested to the intensity of last night's battle.

Luo Di put on his clothes and came to the deck. Xiao En was practicing at the bow of the first floor. He was already drenched in sweat, and it looked like he had been training for a while.

"Captain Luo Di!" Seeing Luo Di, Xiao En immediately walked up respectfully.

Luo Di flashed to the first floor in front of Xiao En and smiled: "Not bad, how is your mastery of what I taught you?"

Xiao En replied: "Currently, Shave and Paper Art are relatively proficient, and I can use them multiple times in a short period. My combat skills have also improved, but I personally feel that Iron Body doesn't suit me very well. It's better to focus my mind on Shave and Paper Art, dodging the opponent's attacks while finding opportunities to strike."

Far-sighted... Luo Di still thought highly of Xiao En, not just for his loyalty, but also for his ability. Gai Ou specialized in Fishman Karate, and Xiao En was the one who mastered the Six Powers the best; he had a lot of room for growth in the future.

"Hmm, just do as you think, and I will try my best to help you grow," Luo Di smiled.

"Thank you, Captain Luo Di!" Xiao En said gratefully.

Luo Di also began his daily training. His other abilities and techniques had gradually become pure, and now the most important thing was the improvement of his physique. With the nourishment of the Immortal Vein Ripple, combined with training, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the morning, the fog had completely dissipated, and the scorching sun made the sea surface sparkle.

Many crew members had already gathered on the deck. At this time, the crew member in charge of reconnaissance suddenly shouted: "Report, Captain Luo Di, there are warships coming from the southeast!"

Luo Di looked in the direction he pointed, and there were indeed two warships sailing toward them.

It seemed that the news of Lao Shu's entire fleet being wiped out hadn't spread. These guys were likely called over by him earlier, wanting to surround and kill their pirate crew together.

Two warships of Colonels were a good way to train.

The crew members entered a state of combat readiness one after another, grabbing weapons and setting up cannons. Luo Di stood at the bow, looking at the slowly approaching warships, his mouth curling up.

A dense group of cannonballs flew over from the warships. Luo Di directed everyone to fire back. Just as Gai Ou was preparing to use Fishman Karate to control the seawater, he saw Luo Di on the dragon head waving his arms. The sea surface under his feet suddenly surged and rose, turning into water bullets that struck the incoming cannonballs.

Bang, bang, bang.

The cannonballs were all hit and exploded by the water bullets. Gai Ou was astonished. Although Luo Di was powerful, when did he also learn Fishman Karate?

"Yahahahaha, what an interesting skill." Ever since he realized several different Ripples, Luo Di had been thinking about continuing to develop them and trying more possibilities. He remembered that Ripple could turn water into solidified objects and then control them, so he started practicing.

Things went as he thought. If this kind of ability was mastered proficiently, it would undoubtedly be a great weapon at sea. As long as his Ripple was strong enough, the destructive power of the controlled seawater would also be greater.

Luo Di suddenly jumped off the dragon head and leaped straight toward the sea.

"Captain Luo Di!" Xiao En at the bow looked horrified. He knew that Ability Users were afraid of seawater; as long as they fell into the sea, their whole body would become limp and weak, which was no different from suicide.

Gai Ou plunged into the sea, thinking that Luo Di might have slipped accidentally and wanted to rescue him.

Splash.

Just as he plunged into the sea surface, he happened to see a pair of feet.

Luo Di was standing firmly on the sea surface, the seawater under his feet as stable as the ground.
