Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

Sauron looked sad, and said silently: "Yes, my current strength is indeed too weak. The world's number one swordsman is just a joke. Brother Cheng Cheng and you alone are a mountain in front of me."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Cheng handed a fairy bean to Sauron, "Come with me, you don't have to compare with me, I'm not the same as you, now the top war is over, Ace was rescued by us Yes, Luffy is safe too.

I want to take all of you back and train together for two years. It will not be too late to go out to sea when you are all strong. When the time comes, the sky and the sea will be wide, so you can go wherever you want. "

After Zoro ate the fairy beans, he stood up, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded: "As long as Luffy is fine, we need to improve our strength.

With our current strength, we may all die within a few days in the new world. It is necessary to spend two years of practice to improve. I still understand the principle of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood. "

Cheng Cheng turned around and saw that the baboon king was holding two knives and had no intention of leaving. He frowned, and an invisible dominance spread out like a tide.

The baboon king, who was still hesitating how to kill the two men, ran away without any hesitation, and disappeared into the black forest in the blink of an eye.

Floating in the sky with an umbrella, Perona swayed and fell to the ground. She looked at Cheng Cheng nervously and asked:

"Overlord color domineering, you, who the hell are you!"

Chapter 248 Zhenhai and Night

"I, my name is Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng, who promises money, is the captain of the Black Justice Pirates."

After Cheng Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the castle. This time he was teleported here to pick up Sauron, and he also had to complete a check-in task in the castle.

Perona turned pale with fright, sat on the ground and looked at Cheng Cheng as if petrified, finally remembered and came back to her senses, and said in astonishment: "You are the fifth emperor, Cheng Cheng?"

After Sauron recovered his body, he followed behind Cheng Cheng without saying a word, and also walked towards the castle.

Perona also hurriedly got up and followed. She didn't dare to stay alone in the dark forest anymore. If the baboon king came back later, she couldn't beat her.

After a while, the three arrived in front of the castle.

The castle is a typical Gothic building, with towering spires and slender tree pillars giving the whole building a straight line, full of mysterious atmosphere under the moonlight.

This reminded Cheng Cheng of the temples full of lonely souls and wild ghosts in the film and television drama of his previous life, which was similar to this scene, and he also had a devil fruit ability user who could truly control ghosts.

Sauron looked up, frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't this the castle we left just now? Why are you back here?"

Perona took a peek at Cheng Cheng. Ever since she knew Cheng Cheng's identity, she didn't dare to speak during the journey, and only dared to carefully size up Cheng Cheng from a distance.

As soon as she blushed, she couldn't help but become obsessed with it. How could a man be so handsome and powerful?How happy would it be to marry him?

Cheng Cheng continued to walk forward slowly and pushed open the tall wooden door of the castle. The dim light shone through the crack of the door. He said softly, "I still have something to do. Let's go in first to have a drink and rest."

Knowing that Luffy was fine, Zoro was not in such a hurry, he nodded and followed indifferently. For him, drinking and practicing swords were two things that he could not refuse, nor should he refuse.

In the entrance hall of the castle, there is a very long rectangular dining table and chairs with red satin backs, all inlaid with golden patterned silk borders, extremely luxurious, definitely not furniture that ordinary nobles can use.

The wine cabinets on both sides of the hall are full of neat red wine. Even though Sauron was seriously injured in the past two days, he did not drink less.

Cheng Cheng walked over slowly, took a bottle of dark red wine, and poured a glass with Sauron and Perona.

Perona originally wanted to say that she would not drink, but when she saw Cheng Cheng's gentle gesture when pouring the wine, she swallowed her refusal in an instant.

"Sit down and rest, both of you, I'll go shopping first, and I'll be back in a while."

Cheng Cheng took a sip of the wine, turned around and walked up the stairs slowly.

If he remembered correctly, Sauron met Hawkeye in this ancient castle, and then in order to improve his strength, he chose to kneel down to Hawkeye and begged him to teach him the way of swordsmanship.

But in this life, since he is here, Sauron will not be allowed to kneel down to the enemy. This is the ultimate insult to a swordsman.

Hawkeye, recognized as the world's number one swordsman, is a man Sauron has determined to surpass since he was a child. If you kneel down to Hawkeye, you will worship him as your teacher.

So no matter what achievements Sauron will have in the future, or how many times he has defeated Hawkeye, others will only remember that Sauron is Hawkeye's apprentice.

Therefore, Cheng Cheng absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen.

The big deal is that after taking Sauron back this time, they will call the red hair over again, and the two of them will guide Sauron together, not to mention that there is still a Pluto Rayleigh with superb swordsmanship on the island.

dong dong dong.

Dull footsteps sounded, it seemed that some of the wooden boards on the stairs had begun to loosen because of the age.

After walking up to the second floor, there is obviously more dust here, the corners are densely covered with spider webs, and the stained glass on some doors is also slightly broken, but it does not affect the usual wind and rain protection.

After Cheng Cheng walked around the corridor, he didn't gain anything. He didn't hear the familiar system sound.

He continued to ascend to the third floor, where he could just overlook the entire hall in the center of the corridor.

Sauron was drinking leisurely, while Perona was holding the wine glass with both hands. After seeing Cheng Cheng's gaze, she immediately lowered her head, stirring her pink twin ponytails back and forth with two fingers.

Cheng Cheng's eyes changed, he squinted slightly, and felt a powerful aura appearing at the gate of the castle, like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, extremely sharp.

Noticing the change in Cheng Cheng's eyes, Sauron also looked at the gate in doubt, and at the same time drew out two knives, He Dao Yi Wen and Qiu Shui, and held them tightly in his hands.

Perona looked vigilant, staring ahead, ready to activate the ghost fruit ability at any time.

creak.

There was a sound of rubbing the ground, and Hawkeye walked in from the door.

Eagle-eyed Mihawk, who was carrying the night on his back, directly ignored the two uninvited guests on the table in the hall, but raised his head and looked at Cheng Cheng, his eyes were extremely sharp, without any surprise.

It seems that he has always been so calm, calm and calm. It seems that the world is so big that there is no one or anything that can surprise this Hawkeye who has been living alone.

He frowned slightly and asked, "Calculating the time, why are you here now? Did you come here to chase me down?"

Sauron clenched his hands even tighter. The man in front of him was the goal he wanted to surpass day and night.

Cheng Cheng, who was at the railing on the third floor, smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't come here this time to fight. We have no grievances and no enmity, and I also hate your title as the world's number one swordsman." Not interested, I just came to pick Sauron away."

"To be honest, I'm not interested either. It's all imposed by outsiders."

Hawkeye raised his head and continued, "Then since you saw someone, why don't you leave now?"

Seeing that Cheng Cheng had no intention of fighting with swords at all, he casually took off Ye, laid it on the table, took off his coat, and sat on the main seat wearing only a white shirt.

While pouring wine for himself, he issued an order to evict guests.

He has lived alone for so many years, and he really doesn't like other people to disturb him.

Cheng Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we don't call strangers anymore, you and Hongfa are friends, and Hongfa and I are brothers, maybe our relationship may go further in the future.

Now that you have come here and drank your wine, it would be impolite to leave without saying hello to the host. "

Hawkeye sat on the chair, raised his glass but didn't drink, and said flatly:

"Hongfa said before that he would come to participate in the war on the top, but I left early and couldn't wait for him, but in the end, I didn't see the news of Hongfa's participation in the war in the newspaper. He is not someone who will easily tear up the agreement."

Cheng Cheng smiled slightly and explained: "Of course, to be precise, he joined the war earlier, but he was on another battlefield with Kaido."

Hawkeye narrowed his eyes instantly, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Chapter 249 The Eight Trigrams

Hawkeye asked suspiciously, "What do you say? Why didn't I know about this?"

Cheng Cheng chuckled, "It is estimated that their battle will spread throughout the world through newspapers soon, and Hongfa will definitely not lose. As for the specific battle process, you can ask Hongfa yourself when you meet him in the future.

By the way, let me tell you by the way, the red hair may go to Daughter Island recently, if you are interested, you can come and wait for him. "

Hawkeye's eyes were like lightning, he took a sip of wine, and his tone was flat: "Without the red hair before the broken arm, if we are dealing with Kaido, the two are only between five and five. Whoever wins depends on the right time and place. People and.

Now that the red hair has broken his arm in the East China Sea, it is almost impossible to win against Kaido. "

Cheng Cheng smiled mysteriously, changed the subject and asked, "Where is your room, can you go and have a look?"

Hawkeye lowered his head and continued to drink, lost interest in the conversation, and said coldly: "If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

Cheng Cheng remained silent and did not speak. The task of signing in this time has not been completed yet, so how could he leave so easily.

Now he has visited the lobby on the first floor, the second floor, and even the third floor, and the system's check-in task has not yet been triggered. Based on his understanding of the grandson system, the task location will most likely be in the Hawkeye room. .

Standing at the railing on the third floor, Cheng Cheng, with his toes pointing, landed lightly on the back of Hawkeye, casually resting his hand on Hawkeye's back, raised his eyebrows at Hawkeye, and joked:

"Brother Eagle Eye, I have admired you since I was a child. Let me go to your room and take a look. Just take a look, and then come out. I promise not to move anything!"

Hawkeye put down the wine glass, Ye Ye on the long table trembled slightly, he quickly fastened the buttons on the chest of his white shirt, with a look of disdain in his eyes, he said coldly:

"If you are such a person, don't blame me for showing the sword now."

Cheng Cheng thought to himself, it's over, why was he misunderstood by this guy, and quickly explained: "Don't think about it, I am normal, not the kind of person you imagined, and besides, I also have a wife now."

The night on the long table became quiet, and Hawkeye relaxed his vigilance a bit, and said flatly: "My room is very boring, there is nothing to see, you should take Sauron and this little girl and leave quickly. "

Perona was immediately upset. She was most annoyed by others calling her a child, but when she saw that the other party was the famous Hawkeye, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction, pouted her mouth and took a sip of wine, muttering:

"Children can't drink!"

Cheng Cheng sighed in his heart, that's not necessarily true, and continued: "Well, let's make a deal, as long as you let me go to your room, I promise to tell you a secret about red hair, and we will leave immediately after reading it. how?"

Hawkeye thought for a while, then reached out and pointed Cheng Cheng to the direction behind him, and said flatly, "Where is the room, go by yourself, if this secret doesn't satisfy me, I can only draw my sword against you."

Cheng Cheng quickly turned around and walked away without looking back, "I promise to satisfy you."

Sauron, who was sitting on a chair and had already finished two bottles of wine, actually wanted to go and see what the world's number one swordsman's room looked like.

But he was afraid of adding unnecessary trouble to Cheng Cheng, so he could only continue to drink away his worries with a look of regret.

Cheng Cheng slowly stepped forward and pushed open the door, holding the metal doorknob, a chill spread throughout his body, and a strange cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver involuntarily.

After opening the door, the room that came into view was not big. There was only a wooden bed inside, a wooden table and wooden chair beside the bed, which seemed to match the long table outside, and were inlaid with a circle of gold-edged patterns.

The bed was clean and tidy, and the ground was free of any rubbish except for a thin layer of dust left over from a long period of unoccupied people.

There is nothing on the table, the whole room is just wooden bed, wooden table, wooden chair, nothing else.

The whole room gives people the feeling that there is only silence, if it is not in the gloomy castle in this ruins, it should also add peace.

Cheng Cheng couldn't help sighing inwardly, this is the environment in which a person with such a contented heart would live.

From a psychological point of view, the more profound a person's inner state is, the less dependent he will be on everything from the outside world, because this kind of person no longer needs things from the outside world to please him.

Their own spiritual realm has been perfected.

At this moment, Cheng Cheng seemed to see that Hawkeye had lived alone in the castle for more than ten years, accompanied only by those baboons wandering outside the castle, and Ye Ye, the coldest and strongest black knife.

Cheng Cheng also seemed to be beginning to understand why Hawkeye excelled in the way of swordsmanship.

Alas, in order to save Ace, it was unavoidable to act impetuously, and everything he did was full of utilitarianism. Since leaving the Navy Headquarters, it seems that the time for pure sword practice has become less and less.

Cheng Cheng sighed in his heart, and slowly stepped into the room.

[Congratulations, sir, the mission of Krajgana Island has been completed. 】

[Reward: Eight Diagrams Array. 】

Then a white light flashed, and a simple scroll appeared in his hand.

Cheng Cheng looked at the scroll in his hand that looked like an ancient painting, and his palms trembled a little. As far as he knew, there were 5000 years of Chinese culture from ancient to modern times, but there was nothing that was not related to gossip.

He immediately opened the extremely heavy scroll with both hands, and weighed it. It didn't look like ordinary paper, but it looked like some kind of animal fur, full of antiquity.

Opening the scroll, there is only one Taiji gossip diagram in the middle, which is completely natural, and the eight directions around the Taiji diagram are written respectively, rest, life, injury, Du, scene, death, shock, and open eight simple small seal characters.

There is a line of smaller characters written in the middle, which seems to be an outline of the entire Bagua array.

"Tai Chi produces Liangyi, Liangyi produces Sixiang, and Sixiang produces gossip!"

The corners of Cheng Cheng's mouth curled up. I'm afraid a Chinese person could casually say this rotten sentence.

It's just that when he looks at these three sentences now, it seems that they are natural and have far-reaching meanings, which coincide with the laws of the operation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and everything in the world is in it.

After just staring at it for less than a minute, Cheng Cheng felt his head was about to explode, so he quickly closed the scroll again.

"System, how do you use this thing, and there is no manual or anything like that?"

After Cheng Cheng put away the gossip array, he asked softly in his mind.

[Grandpa, the gossip array has infinite changes. When using it, you must first collect eight items and place them in eight different directions as the eyes of the array, and then the array can be activated. 】

"What can be used as a formation eye?" Cheng Cheng asked with a frown.

[Everything can be used, and the formation will change according to the different formation eyes. 】

Cheng Cheng chuckled, a little interesting.

His understanding of the Eight Diagrams Formation is very shallow, he only knows that after trapping the enemy in it, they will live from the life gate, and die from other gates.

It seems that he has to collect some powerful objects, and now he is just about to build Daughter's Island into an indestructible base. With the Eight Diagrams in hand, he will be more confident.
