Chapter 455: True Lord of Ice-Condensing Sea Crossing

"Moreover, Sea Kings are excellent provisions!"

Looking at the huge Sea King corpse before him, Zhang Jie was full of smiles.

The *Dao Scripture* says: those who eat grain are wise and skillful, those who eat meat are brave and fierce,

those who eat Qi are divine and long-lived, and those who eat nothing are immortal and divine.

A person's strength often depends on what they eat, and whether they eat much or little.

In the *Immortal World* opened up by the founder of the Primordial genre, the great Shenji, this law is carried out even more thoroughly:

Commoners who eat ordinary grain find it difficult to enter the martial path and must eat high-nutrition foods like flesh and ginseng.

And martial artists, without the supply of pills like Essence Pills or Nascent Soul Pills, find it difficult to reach the supernatural realm of cultivators.

If cultivators in the supernatural realm have no pills to nourish them and instead eat ordinary flesh and grain,

their strength will not only fail to progress but will actually decline due to the impurities entering their bodies.

The giants of the Longevity Realm must rely on the Pure Yang Qi obtained from the Immortal World to maintain their realm and continue to progress.

And in the Immortal World, which is filled with Pure Yang Qi and has countless rivers of Pure Yang flowing,

even a newborn baby is a giant of the Longevity Realm, born with ten thousand years of life!

Although the *One Piece* world does not have such a nearly directly severed dietary hierarchy,

from commoners to Pirate Emperors, everyone eats grain and meat,

but these top powerhouses are all super big eaters who can eat five cows a day,

because a strong physique requires sufficient nutrition to maintain.

And if one wants to go further, besides persistent training (well,

the cultivation method of our *One Piece* world is just so simple and unadorned), one must consume large amounts of supplements.

If Zhang Jie wants his strength to reach a higher level, he naturally cannot do without the diligent contributions of these Sea Kings.

"Come in, you!"

Zhang Jie extended his right hand and opened his five fingers, and a huge black hole with a diameter of over a hundred meters

appeared on the sea surface, swallowing the Sea King's body in one go.

"Full speed ahead to the Paradise stage!"

Zhang Jie, whose cultivation provisions were temporarily sufficient, ordered the intelligent system.

This Sea King, whose weight is measured in tens of thousands of tons, is enough for him to cultivate until his next breakthrough,

so there is no need to waste time in the Calm Belt.

"Buzz, understood."

The intelligent system Black God started the propellers at maximum revolutions,

and the entire *Black God* ship immediately moved on the sea surface like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

"Woo woo!"

A short while later, several Sea Kings of hundreds of meters arrived in this sea area,

but unfortunately, besides the seawater that was still faintly emitting a bloody smell, they gained nothing.

In the cultivation room of the *Black God*, which was specially reserved and built entirely of high-strength alloy, Zhang Jie sat cross-legged and practiced with devotion.

Although his strength at this time was already enough to run rampant in the *One Piece* world,

and even if besieged by several top powerhouses of the world, he could calmly escape by various means,

Zhang Jie did not slack off in the slightest and still practiced diligently without stopping.

Because he knew that although people like Marine Admirals and Pirate Emperors

were already the top combat power of the *One Piece* world, they were not the strongest combat power.

Even Whitebeard, this "world's strongest man," should have the prefix of this hundred years, or this era, added before it.

Because on the Red Line, in Pangea Castle, where the so-called "descendants of the Creator," the Celestial Dragons, live,

there still lurks the greatest beneficiary of the eight-hundred-year blank history,

an old monster who has lived for over eight hundred years—the true master of the World Government, Imu-sama.

The strength of such a monster is simply hard to fathom. Zhang Jie did not know if Imu-sama had reached a brand-new realm where Admirals and

Four Emperors were mere ants, but this did not prevent him from trying his best to overestimate Imu's strength.

A great man once said that one should despise the enemy strategically, but value the enemy tactically.

Zhang Jie knew that with the Shared Space, he would sooner or later easily surpass Imu-sama,

but before that, he still had to maintain his consistent caution,

steady style, and accumulate strength to let that day arrive sooner.

"Buzz, Master, human life signal detected."

The intelligent system reported to Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie not only installed a powerful propulsion system and firepower system on the *Black God*,

but even detection systems like biological radar were not left out at all,

capable of accurately detecting the approach of creatures tens of miles away on the sea surface,

and even with the obstruction of seawater, it could detect thousands of meters underwater.

The Sea King that wanted to sneak attack earlier was directly exposed in the detection system, and the moment it surfaced,

intending to launch a sneak attack, it was beheaded by Zhang Jie, who had been prepared.

'Is it old Lei Li playing the triathlon, or Mihawk drifting with the wind?'

The names of Lei Li and Mihawk immediately surfaced in Zhang Jie's heart.

These two, one likes to play the swimming part of the triathlon in the Calm Belt,

and the other has a criminal record of crossing the Calm Belt to hunt down the Krieg Pirates; both are frequent visitors to the Calm Belt.

Zhang Jie turned off the imitation gravity generator in the cultivation room, picked up his coat and put it on,

and walked to the cockpit of the *Black God*: "Display the image of the person coming."

"Buzz, Black God understands."

On the display screen, a figure instantly appeared. He was tall and slender,

with a relatively long and thin face, a straight nose, thick lips, and a head of fluffy black curly hair.

He wore a green sleep mask on his forehead, a white sleeveless suit jacket,

a blue shirt underneath, a yellow tie, and white trousers and leather shoes.

This figure was extremely tall and slender; even compared to Zhang Jie, who was now over three meters tall, he was not inferior.

"Another one playing the triathlon in the Calm Belt."

Looking at this figure, Zhang Jie couldn't help but complain.

Underneath the person coming was actually riding... a bicycle.

Beneath the bicycle was a winding, endless ice path.

Old Lei Li's swimming, this person's bicycle; if another one came running,

the Calm Belt triathlon would be considered complete.

Zhang Jie also had some guesses about the identity of the person coming:

Not to mention the mask on his forehead that seemed to be for sleeping anytime, anywhere,

just the fact that he was using a bicycle on the sea surface with the help of an ice path pointed out that the person coming was none other than the Marine Admiral—"Aokiji," Kuzan,

who is as famous as "Akainu" Sakazuki and "Kizaru" Borsalino and represents the highest combat power of the Marines.

At the same time, a title also surfaced in Zhang Jie's heart: True Lord of Ice-Condensing Sea Crossing.

"True Lord of Ice-Condensing Sea Crossing" is a very popular game before Zhang Jie crossed over,

a nickname given to the character Kaeya by the vast number of players in *Genshin Impact*.

The origin of this title is closely related to Kaeya's game mechanics and the exploration experience of early players:

Kaeya is an Ice element character, and his elemental skill (E skill) "Frostgnaw"

can release cold air along the path in front, causing Ice element damage to enemies.

This skill has a very practical effect, which is that it can condense an ice surface on the water.

This allows players to stand on the water surface, thereby crossing rivers or lakes.

In the early days of the game, especially in the Mondstadt region, many map areas were separated by vast water areas.

For example, going to the "Nameless Island" in the east of the map was very difficult for players without flying ability or insufficient stamina.

Kaeya's ability to freeze the water surface just happened to solve this problem, becoming a "divine artifact" for new players to explore the map.

Because this ability was so practical, players jokingly called him the "True Lord of Ice-Condensing Sea Crossing,"

comparing him to an immortal who can walk on ice and cross the sea easily.

And Zhang Jie felt that Aokiji also fit this title very well:

This guy often rides a bicycle to cross the sea with the help of an ice path.

And the source of the ice path is the Devil Fruit he ate—the Logia Ice-Ice Fruit.

With the strength of Admiral Aokiji, freezing a sea area is more than enough,

let alone just condensing an ice path for a bicycle to pass through. ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
