No matter which one he is, when he sees Luo Jie, he can't help but cast a strange look.
That kind of gaze is not friendly, but it is not hostile. It is more of a vigilance and curiosity about unknown things, like looking at a rare beast that has broken into the human world.
Fortunately, the folk customs here are simple and simple, and all adult education is conducted within the Nine Snakes Pirates - people who are not qualified to go to sea cannot have children anyway. Ordinary residents will not even know what men and women are all their lives. Otherwise, Luo
Jie is afraid that he will never be able to go to the training ground in this life.
Judging from the reactions of these residents, it seems that his existence is no secret on the island...
If you think about it, you can understand that there is no way to hide something as big as the birth of a child by the previous emperor. In addition, there are prophecies about the body protection in ancient books. Covering it up will easily arouse people's suspicion. It is better to openly disclose it to the public.
Unfortunately, according to the rules of the Nine Snakes, the position of emperor is not hereditary. Any citizen over the age of 18 is eligible to challenge the current emperor in the arena. If the challenge is successful, he will be the next emperor.
In other words, Luo Jie's status as a prince was very low, and he basically had no privileges except being able to live in the palace temporarily.
Moreover, through insinuating some maids in the palace last night, he also learned that his cheap mother, the previous emperor, fell ill and died of lovesickness not long after he was born. The throne is currently passed to the previous emperor "Gu Luoli"
"Ossa" - the white-haired old woman with red flowers on her head whom I saw in the bathroom last time. She is temporarily in charge of all affairs on the island.
Adult Nine Snake warriors will hunt in the dense forests outside the city or fish offshore to exercise their physical fitness and courage. The training ground in the city is an exclusive symbol for rookie recruits, but any warrior with a certain strength will not disdain it.
Yu trains here.
When Luo Jie arrived at the training ground, his eyes were filled with all kinds of lolita of large, medium and small sizes.
It is said that it is full of eyes, but in fact there are only a few dozen. After all, the reproduction of the Nine Snakes relies entirely on borrowing seeds from the sea, and the number of people a ship can carry is extremely limited, so the number of newborns every year is naturally not very large.
Luo Jie quickly searched the crowd and only found the third of the three Boya sisters, "Marigold". Not to mention "Hancock", he didn't even see the second child "Sanda Sonia". Obviously
The two of them have already left the rookie level and have the strength of formal warriors.
I have to sigh, the success rate of the Nine Snakes is really high, this is the racial talent.
"Night Demon, here!"
"Marigold" stands out among a group of lolita, and even has the feeling that her style of painting is different from the others.
The strong female figure twenty years later is just the result of her pursuit of strength and overeating. She was still quite beautiful when she was a lolita - after all, she is the biological sister of "Hancock".
"Is this the legendary man?"
"It doesn't seem to be any different from us."
"I heard that men have a little more stuff than women, can you let us take a look?"
Children are not as restrained as adults, so a group of lolita immediately surrounded Luo Jie with chatter.
If it weren't for the fact that "Marigold" had some prestige and could control the scene, these lolita would probably have started stripping off their clothes.
There was a heavy cough, like the roar of a ferocious beast, and the lolita who were getting closer and closer dispersed in a hurry and quickly returned to their positions.
A short, white-haired old woman wearing a red flower on her head and holding a blue snake crutch walked slowly from outside the training ground.
It is none other than the former emperor and the current emperor's agent - "Gloriousa".
But most people on the island call her "grandma".
"From today on, you will no longer be children, but preparatory warriors of our Nine Snakes clan... I know that all of you have already received training courses other than "Haki", so the next step is to train on your own. If
If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time.”
"Grandma" finished her lecture and suddenly looked at Luo Jie, who was standing in the back row.
"Night Demon, come here, I have something to talk to you alone."
The big, medium and small Lolitas started to shoot arrows with their bows and bows. Luo Jie followed "Grandma Ye" with a low eyebrow to the edge of the training ground.
"Night Devil, shoot that one down."
Luo Jie raised his head and saw "Grandma Ze"'s crutch pointing at a bird hovering in the sky.
"I forgot to bring my bow and arrows..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Jie suddenly realized that it was impossible for "grandma Ze" not to notice this detail. It was obviously deliberate to give him this difficult problem.
He had a vague realization, and a purple short bow with obvious sugar cane knots appeared out of thin air in his hand. His fingers made gestures to pull the non-existent bow string, and a rose-shaped light at the tail broke through the air, leaving behind dots of red petals.
The next shallow trajectory.
——[Love and Flower Bow]!
——"The Loss of the Rose"!
The bird in mid-air was hit by the arrow, but showed no sign of injury. It flapped its wings and slowly landed on Luo Jie's shoulder. It rubbed its head against Luo Jie's hair and acted very affectionately.
"Sure enough..." "Grandma Ze" showed no surprise at all, her face became more serious, "It is recorded in the ancient books of the Nine Snakes that the Son of God will have magical abilities similar to devil fruits. It seems to be true."
Oh? So this is how the system forcibly implants players’ abilities into the worldview?
Well, it would be nice if someone would believe it anyway.
"Grandma Ye" signaled Luo Jie to put away her bow and arrows, stared at him for a long time, and then slowly said: "Ye Mo, do you have any plans for the future? For example, challenge for the throne of the island's emperor?"
"I want to go out on an adventure."
Luo Jie answered simply. After all, this was his main mission and there was no way to avoid it.
To Luo Jie's surprise, "Grandma Ye" actually didn't mean to stop her. Instead, she seemed to be relieved: "That's fine... You have been thinking too much about things since you were a child, and you don't have the belief to move forward. It is basically impossible to have the "overlord look".
"Domineering", he is indeed not suitable to be the leader of the Nine Snakes."
Luo Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew in his previous life that he couldn't awaken the "Bawang Color Haki", but when someone said it directly, it still felt a bit heartbreaking.
There are no treasure chests in the world of "One Piece". The "dominance" ability can only rely on serious practice. Just like developing derivative skills, the extent to which you can practice it all depends on your personal qualifications.
Among them, the rarest "Overlord Color Haki" has extremely high requirements on the player's personality, and is generally only awakened in certain players with strong beliefs.
To put it simply, a stick.
The more paranoid a person is, the more likely he is to have the aptitude for "overlord domineering". However, people like Luo Jie who like to weigh the pros and cons and decide the direction of action based on success rates have basically no chance of awakening this rare "domineering".
Of course, although "Overlord Color Haki" has various magical effects, it is not irreplaceable for players who can travel through thousands of worlds. Therefore, Luo Jie has no obsession with the fact that he cannot awaken "Overlord Color Haki".
.
"Everyone on the island wants to go to sea. The outside world is really attractive... Do you know the conditions for going to sea?"
"Listen to "Marigold", you must at least master the most basic "Armed Haki"."
"Grandma Ze" shook her head and said, "That is a requirement for others, and for you, in addition to the "arming color haki", you must also master the "wisdom color haki"."
