Chapter 51: Crossing Dian Dao Shan, the Turning Point of Dreams
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, time seemingly frozen, especially since Luo Di's hand was still resting on Lu Xi Ya's leg at this moment. Lu Xi Ya did not show the slightest discomfort; she was gently massaging his acupoints with her slender, soft fingers, a gentle smile still on her face.
"Uh, Sister Lu Xi Ya, dinner is ready, I came to call you two," Ka Li Na said softly, her expression bashful.
Lu Xi Ya saw through Ka Li Na's thoughts and nodded with a smile: "The captain is a bit tired, I'm helping him with a massage. You go eat first, don't worry, we aren't doing anything bad."
"Oh my, Sister, what are you saying? Luo Di and I aren't in that kind of relationship. I'm going to eat first, you two hurry over." After saying this, Ka Li Na moved as if her feet were winged and ran out quickly.
Watching Ka Li Na's flustered back, Lu Xi Ya recalled the movements she had heard in the warship room back then, and the corners of her mouth curled upward.
She's quite the tsundere.
Ka Li Na returned to her room, and thinking of the scene she had just witnessed, her mind was a jumble. She and Luo Di had already had a physical relationship, and she liked him immensely. Luo Di also doted on her greatly; whenever there was danger, he would always shield her behind him, giving her plenty of security.
She thought about it again and felt that a man like Luo Di certainly wouldn't have only one woman, so she calmed down and began to imagine the scene of getting along with Lu Xi Ya.
If it's Sister Lu Xi Ya, it wouldn't be impossible.
……
When Luo Di woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Luo Di felt a wave of warmth; Ka Li Na, that girl, was lying in his arms.
"Heh, so sensible today. Is it because you saw the storm was too big and were afraid I'd freeze?" Luo Di smiled, expressing his gratification.
Ka Li Na opened her eyes hazily, glanced at Luo Di, and pouted: "Awake? You slept like a pig."
Luo Di suddenly sat on her lap, stared at Ka Li Na's full, curvaceous figure, pinched her smooth buttocks, and smiled wickedly: "Well, the pig is about to root the cabbage now."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ka Li Na hurriedly feigned annoyance and dodged.
"Mmm~"
After some playful roughhousing, rhythmic music began to play in the room again.
……
After finishing, Luo Di took a shower with Ka Li Na, put on his clothes, and came to the deck. He lit a cigar contentedly, enjoying the gentle breeze and admiring the vast, boundless sea surface.
Xiao En was leading the team in drills. Everyone knew they were about to cross Dian Dao Shan, and each was full of energy and tireless.
They sailed for another period of time.
"The Red Line is already visible; we'll be at Dian Dao Shan soon," Ka Li Na said inside the captain's cabin.
Luo Di stood up and stretched. He checked the Blood Pool within his body; it was currently completely full, and his body had recovered to its peak state. The next step was to develop more techniques and improve his strength.
Luo Di came to the deck. The crew members were already standing there, all gazing at the bottomless Red Line before them, their excitement impossible to hide.
Being able to reach Luo Ge Zhen, they naturally had dreams of going to the Grand Line, but having drifted in the East Blue for years, they were unaware of the strength of the Marine Headquarters. This time, with a Marine Vice Admiral leading the team, many famous pirates had fallen there. If they hadn't boarded Luo Di's ship, they would either have been put in shackles or killed on the spot.
"Captain Luo Di," Xiao En called out.
The crowd turned their heads one after another, then cleared a path from the middle leading straight to the bow, their expressions solemn.
The gale howled, and as they approached Dian Dao Shan, a rainstorm began to fall. No one cared that their clothes were soaked. Luo Di walked to the bow, and a flickering point of light appeared beneath the Red Line that spanned the horizon.
This was the lighthouse at the foot of Dian Dao Shan, guiding the direction forward, known as the "Guiding Light."
As the Shen Yun Long Ting Hao drew closer and closer to the point of light, a gateway gradually manifested.
Dian Dao Shan stood across the narrowest strait of the Red Line, forming the core passage connecting the Si Hai. The steep mountain body combined with special ocean currents to form a natural barrier. Many navigators had met with disaster due to the turbulent water currents and perennial rainstorms causing their ships to crash into the mountain walls.
Luo Di stood at the bow, laughing as he shouted: "Little ones, are you all ready?"
"Ready, Captain Luo Di!" the crew shouted excitedly, without the slightest fear of the turbulent whirlpool currents.
Lin De Bo Ge came to the bow: "Don't worry, this ship of mine can cross any wind and wave on the sea; this mountain can't stump it at all."
Then he quickly headed to the control room.
Ka Li Na came to Luo Di's side, but the gale and rainstorm caused her slender body to sway constantly.
Luo Di pulled her into his arms, and the bow immediately passed through the gateway, stepping onto the whirlpool that flowed from bottom to top, heading toward the summit of Dian Dao Shan.
"Full power, charge for me!" Lin De Bo Ge shouted from the control room.
The higher the ship went, the more violent the whirlpool became. Many crew members had their bodies tilted, and only managed to steady themselves by grabbing onto companions and railings. The medical team, having poor physical fitness, all stayed at their room doors and did not come out.
"Ya hahahaha..." Luo Di held Ka Li Na's waist with one hand and looked up to the sky, laughing wantonly: "Speak your dreams! This is the turning point of our dreams!"
Gai Ou steered the bow and shouted: "I will definitely make a name for myself on the sea and let my mother hear news of me!"
"Then I want to be the best navigator in the world!" Ka Li Na also shouted, and due to being too excited, she stumbled and fell entirely into Luo Di's arms.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Luo Di stroked the flesh of Ka Li Na's waist. Ka Li Na's pretty face flushed red, and after discovering that no one had noticed this, she continued to stare at the confluence of currents at the mountain top.
"Roar! I, A Nuo, want to be the Chef King!"
"I, I want to become the hardest Pa Lu in the world!"
"I want to follow Lord Luo Di and witness the scenery at the very top!" Xiao En, who was always calm and taciturn, also shouted.
"I want to cure the most vicious diseases in the world and let everyone no longer suffer from pain!" Lu Xi Ya shouted. Her dress and stockings were already completely soaked, her blonde hair plastered to her body, and her green eyes flashing with brilliance.
"I want to become the best mechanic in the world and have Beijiapangke shine my shoes!" Lin De Bo Ge shouted from the control room.
"I want to marry ten wives!"
"I want a hundred!!!"
The crew members all shouted their dreams loudly, wild and uninhibited, enjoying the ultimate freedom Luo Di brought them.
"Then Luo Di, what is your dream?" Ka Li Na asked.
"My dream, huh..."
Luo Di looked at the gloomy sky, the gale blowing his hair up. Before coming to Luo Ge Zhen, he had originally planned to find a powerful Devil Fruit and then take his crew to the New World to plant their flag and carve out a territory of his own.
He hadn't expected to accidentally obtain a Mythical Zoan. With the fruit, besides the improvement in his strength, the scenery his eyes saw was also much broader. Whether it was the Marines, pirates, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or other forces, none were invincible anymore.
The ship leaped over the clouds, continuing to advance along the counter-current whirlpool.
Luo Di curled his lips: "Me? Of course... I want to be the King of the World, ya hahahaha..."
At this moment, he already had the determination to overturn the world!
