Chapter 161 Plague (Ch 161)

Kalifa’s steps paused instantly.
She looked back and saw that Gao Wen’s breathing had become even and his heartbeat had slowed down.
Only intermittent murmurs came out of his mouth.
“Is this what they call speaking the truth after drinking?”
Kalifa’s lips curled up, and even if she tried her best, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face:
“All my previous efforts have not been in vain. Perhaps even Knight Gawain himself has not noticed that he has already fallen deeply in love with me.”
“You just don’t want to see Guinevere’s tragedy happen again, so you have been suppressing your feelings?”
“It doesn’t matter. I will prove that I am different from her.”
“I am the only female who made it out of the countless seeds of CP9. My potential is far beyond the reach of a princess from a member country of the East China Sea.”
Kalifa’s eyes gradually became firm.
Because in her opinion, she was only one step away from completely conquering Gawain, and the only thing missing was strength.
“I will become stronger until you put aside all your worries and devote yourself to the trap I have set for you.”
“By then, he will be at the level of Shichibukai. No, with the potential that Gawain has shown, he will definitely be able to go even further in the future, and that is… the Four Emperors!”
“A Four Emperors-level fighter who can be commanded by me. Maybe even CP0 will be mine in the future!”
Think of this.
Khalifa’s entire body was shaking with excitement.
Even when he looked at Gawain again, his face flushed, and it was obvious that she had other thoughts.
“Not only that, Knight Gawain is the best companion in every way. I…”
Khalifa suddenly realized that she had some inappropriate thoughts since she didn’t know when.
She took a deep breath and whispered:
“What are you thinking about? This is just a mission!”
“Yes, it’s all for the mission!”
…
But the more you suppress certain thoughts, the more they keep coming to your mind.
She walked to the door and couldn’t help but look back at Gawain. Seeing that Gawain was already asleep, she gently closed the door.
Then he turned and left.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
…
The footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away.
Gawain, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, recalling what Kalifa had just said to herself, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
“It’s… hard to judge…”
“Too much inner drama is not a good thing, but fortunately, things are finally developing in the direction I want.”
…
…
…
The next day.
The Gawain Pirates then raised their sails and headed towards the Drum Kingdom.
“According to the existing route, we should arrive at Silver Moon Harbor in two days.”
Nami stood in the captain’s room, planning the next route with Gawain and Clo:
“Although the supplies on board are enough to support us to the Drum Kingdom, the climate on the Grand Route is changeable, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents along the way.”
“We should restock the ship’s supplies there before setting off again.”
Gao Wen nodded and did not have any objection.
Firstly, Nami has now gradually become familiar with sailing on the Grand Line, and secondly, this is consistent with Gawain’s original speculation.
Sudden.
Cloe exclaimed:
“Why is that woman…”
Nami followed Kuro’s line of sight and saw Kalifa, who had changed into sportswear, walked onto the deck, and began to practice.
She was also practicing the Six Styles of the Navy, and her slender figure instantly attracted the attention of everyone around her.
“Ms. Kalifa~~~”
Sanji’s eyes were full of love as he licked it again. As expected, he was slapped by Kalifa and thrown against the mast.
Lu Qi was slightly stunned. He had a lot of questions in his mind, but considering the other people present, he didn’t open his mouth in the end.
He just kept looking at Khalifa, completely unaware of what was going on.
For a while.
Nami was also stunned, muttering:
“Didn’t Kalifa want to capture Captain Gawain before?”
“Why now…”
Cloe also had a face full of black question marks.
He looked at Gao Wen who was smiling but saying nothing, and then said to Nami:
“Nami, you go out first.”
“Oh, okay.”
Nami turned around and walked to the door, but still couldn’t help turning her head to look at Gawain, the fire of gossip burning in her eyes.
It was because on the day of the banquet, Nami was one of the few people who didn’t get drunk, after all, minors are not allowed to drink.
She saw with her own eyes that Kalifa helped Gawain back to the room.
Did Kalifa start practicing after that night?
Do you think you are not strong enough to withstand the captain’s attack?
Nami’s face flushed when she thought of this, and countless forbidden images instantly popped up in her mind, most of which were from a sex scene in a certain movie plus her own imagination.
For a while.
Nami decided that after returning to her room, she would find the movie and criticize it carefully by herself.
…
In the captain’s room.
Seeing Nami walking away, Kuro couldn’t help but ask:
“What did you do to her?”
“A few days ago, he was still trying to get close to you, but now he’s just starting to practice?”
The doubts in Clo’s heart were no less than Nami’s.
Especially when he saw the unpredictable smile on Gawain’s face, he was scratching his head and was puzzled for a moment.
Seeing this, Gao Wen smiled slightly and said:
“It cannot be said. It cannot be said.”
“Keep pretending!”
The corner of Clo’s mouth twitched:
“Even though I’m the deputy captain and staff officer, you still have to tell me what happened so I can help you analyze it, right?”
Clo suddenly became anxious and used his identity as the vice captain to try to get Gawain to speak.
It’s a pity that Gao Wen didn’t buy it at all, and said calmly:
“You won’t understand women’s affairs even if I tell you.”
Kro’s face froze and turned red:
“You don’t understand. When I entered the red light district, you were still playing with the princess in the Kingdom of Goa.”
“You can’t get over this, Princess, right?”
“So what did you do to Khalifa?”
“The Buddha said, it cannot be said—!”
“Get lost!”
…
…
…
On deck.
Everyone practiced harder, but most people’s attention was attracted by Kalifa who was practicing the Six Styles of the Navy with Lucci in the corner.
With beautiful facial features and a slim figure, Khalifa is a beautiful sight even if she is just standing there.
Just being stared at by so many people made Kalifa feel a little uncomfortable, but she did not back down. Instead, she gritted her teeth and continued to practice here.
Because in Gawain’s room, he could see everyone practicing on the deck at a glance, so he could naturally see her as well, and he could even see her transformation little by little.
Kalifa murmured in her heart:
“Just watch, Gawain.”
“I will prove that I am different from Princess Guinevere, and I will wait until you think I am strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with you!”
Thinking so.
Kalifa practiced harder and harder, and practiced until late at night.
However, she could not benefit from the physical strength buff provided by the Captain’s Wrath, and Rokushiki was not like Lucci, who had realized the life return, so at the end of the day, her body had already reached its limit.
In the room.
Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn’t help but remind him:
“Your physique is different from those monsters after all, and you haven’t realized the return of life.”
“You can’t sustain this level of practice.”
Kalifa shook her head and said:
“I know, but this is a necessary process if you want to truly obtain Knight Gawain.”
Lucci was slightly stunned, thinking of Kalifa’s sudden change, and said suspiciously:
“Didn’t you say before that you wanted to get the knight Gawain’s people? Why are you suddenly training with us?”
After Kalifa explained her understanding of the cause and effect to Lucci, she only received a roll of the eyes from the latter:
“Are you really sure he’s not lying to you?”
For some reason, Lu Qi had a hunch that this silly woman would not be cheated of both her money and her sex, right?
“How is that possible?”
Kalifa shook her head and said firmly:
“I am very sure that there is already a shadow of me in Gawain’s heart.”
“Why else would he have me sit next to him at the party? And not Nami?”
“Obviously he has me in his heart.”
“Forget it. You won’t understand the relationship even if I tell you.”
The corner of Lu Qi’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
After all, he really doesn’t understand this matter.
He changed the subject and talked about the intelligence he was going to give to Spandam in Silvermoon Harbor, frowning and saying:
“Does it really make sense for us to hand that kind of thing over?”
Speaking of.
He then remembered the funding application that Khalifa had filled out previously, as well as what he had recorded during this period, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“no problem.”
Khalifa is full of confidence:
“Once my strategy of winning hearts and minds is approved by the higher-ups, our subsequent plans will gain more support.”
“As for the funding, there’s no way I can spend that money, right?”
Lu Qi hesitated to speak.
…
Nightfall.
The ship was shaking more and more violently. Gawain was sitting in the captain’s room with the light above his head flickering.
Outside the porthole there was only the dark sea water, rising and falling.
soon.
The familiar system prompt sound appeared in Gawain’s ears again.
“Physical experience +1326!”
……(slightly)
“Zoo Devil Fruit Experience +357!”
“Six-style experience +434!”
…
Gawain looked at the skyrocketing Six Styles experience and nodded with satisfaction:
“Kalifa’s potential is far inferior to Lucci’s and is only at the bronze level, but a mosquito leg is still meat.”
“Besides, this way, that woman’s attention will be completely focused on cultivation, and I can be more quiet, and my progress in the Six Styles will be faster.”
…
…
…
Two days later.
The Gawain Pirates gradually entered the waters where Silver Moon Harbor was located.
soon.
A port appeared in everyone’s sight. This port was far more desolate than Gawain had expected.
There were only a few small boats moored there, their sails rotten, and it was obvious that they had not set sail for a long time.
Purple smoke was floating on the sea, emitting a smell like rotten wood, which was blown away by the sea breeze.
“Gas mask!”
Gawain realized something was wrong and asked his men to take out gas masks from the cabin, then he found a place in the harbor to drop anchor.
When everyone got off the boat, they found that the harbor was full of dried corpses.
A large number of mushrooms grew on the surface of these corpses, constantly spraying purple spores into the air.
Two doctors came down from the ship and after a quick inspection of several bodies, they came to the conclusion:
“They all died of fungal infections.”
“These mushrooms continuously spray spores into the air, which then travel through the respiratory tract and into the human body, causing further infection.”
“But under normal circumstances, as long as there is a professional doctor here, he can quickly find the source and directly incinerate the spores to stop the spread and prevent it from developing to this extent.”
Gao Wen suddenly realized:
“Have we entered the territory of the Drum Kingdom?”
Nami nodded:
“Yes, although it’s only in the marginal area.”
“That explains it.”
Gao Wen nodded:
“After the new King of the Drum Kingdom, Wapol, ascended the throne, he executed most of the doctors in the country. Only a few people who followed him were qualified to practice medicine.”
“He wants to monopolize medical resources to enslave the common people of the entire kingdom and help himself make money at the same time.”
“Are you kidding me?”
Clo frowned:
“No matter how foolish a king is, he can’t do this, right?”
“This is no longer ignorance, this is stupidity.”
“There are many kings in this world who are more stupid and cruel than him.”
Gao Wen sneered, then looked at A Jin and said:
“Ah Jin, take your men to search for any survivors. If you can save them, save them. If you can’t, kill them quickly.”
“yes.”
Ajin nodded, pointed to a few people behind him, and prepared to set off.
But at this moment.
Lu Qi took a step forward and said:
“Captain, I’m going with Captain Ajin too. There might be danger here.”
Gao Wen naturally knew what Lucci was planning, so he nodded and did not stop Lucci’s actions.
After all, the navigation and planning within Gawain’s pirate group during this period were basically agreed upon verbally between him and Clo. With Gawain’s own Observation Haki that was enough to predict the future, it was even more impossible for them to be monitored.
Even if Lucci passes information back to the CP organization, it is impossible that it involves their own secrets.
Furthermore, before obtaining the Six Styles, Gawain was not prepared to reveal the identities of these two men.
Even if there is a chance, Gawain plans to accept both Rob Lucci and Kalifa, after all, they both have good potential.
Ajin took Lucci and headed towards the interior of Silvermoon Harbor, beginning to search for survivors inside.
The two gradually disappeared in the purple mist.
Gawain looked around and his sight fell on the mushrooms on the ground.
For some reason, he always had a familiar feeling when looking at the mushrooms.
“Did I miss something?”
After some thought, Gao Wen still couldn’t find the answer, so he simply gave up.
At this moment, Ajin and Luqi came back with their men, both of them looked a little solemn:
“There are no survivors. We found that some people were not killed by spores, but by bullets.”
Gawain nodded. He was not surprised by this.
After all, this is the Grand Line. It is normal for a few people to die if attacked by pirates.
In this world, human life is as cheap as grass!
Gawain sighed to himself, then led everyone aboard.
The Raven set sail again, gradually moving away from Silvermoon Harbor and away from the area covered by the purple mist.
Gawain looked back at the purple mist covering Silvermoon Harbor and murmured:
“If we keep these spores, there’s a chance they’ll spread to other places and cause more casualties. So we might as well burn them all at once.”
After saying that.
He jumped up from the deck, and in front of the horrified gazes of Lucci and Kalifa, he transformed into a red dragon.
The red dragon, with a body of nearly 100 meters in size, hung high in the sky. Blue flames brewed in its mouth, and eventually gushed out as an extremely hot dragon breath!
boom!
After a shocking roar, a raging fire broke out in Silvermoon Harbor, and even the spores in the air were burned clean by the flames.
Lucci looked up at the red dragon in the sky, a trace of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead, and said solemnly:
“How do we fight this kind of monster?”
Kalifa remained silent, but ripples appeared in her heart.
…
A few days later.
Judicial Island.
CP9 Minister’s Office.
Spandam sat in his seat with his legs on the table, but his eyes revealed an unconcealable expectation.
“According to the time calculation, the information from Lucci and Kalifa should be arriving soon, right?”
“As long as their operations go smoothly, getting promoted and making money won’t be a problem!”
