Luo Jie was also surprised. It would have been understandable since he wasn't wearing the iconic oiran outfit. The key was that "Red Silk"'s height and measurements had skyrocketed. It was probably compared to "Boya Han" at his peak.
"Cook" is no less generous.
"Red Silk" shyly pulled on the skirt of her clothes that was pushed up high, and whispered softly: "Master, when you left, I was only 17 years old. Now I am 26 years old. It is inevitable that I will have some growth."
.”
"What? Are you 26? Wait...I'm a little confused."
Luo Jie just felt his head was buzzing. No wonder he felt that the Water City had a strange and strange feeling along the way, as if he had traveled to a paradoxical parallel world. If it was the Water City nine years later, then everything would make sense.
pass.
As for why the timelines didn't match up, he didn't find it strange. He only needed to think about the meaning of the name "Hazama Village" to understand.
The nine-year timeline was changed to the B-gold method. For a moment, Luo Jie really didn't know whether he had made a profit or a loss.
We cannot turn back time. It is meaningless to consider gains and losses now. The top priority is to collect the missing information in the past nine years and re-formulate the next strategy plan.
In the world of "One Piece", the fastest channel for collecting regular news is naturally the regularly published "World Economic News".
Luo Jie spent three whole days devouring all the newspapers he collected, and finally pieced together the missing nine years in his mind.
To sum it up in a simple sentence, it is world line regression.
"Fire Fist Ace" joined the Whitebeard Pirates, "Boa Hancock" defected to the World Government and became the Shichibukai, "Moonlight Moria" disappeared in the thick fog, and "Don Quixote Dover"
"Lang Ming Ge" seized the Kingdom of Dressrosa and began his brutal rule. New pirate groups began to emerge from all over the world, including many familiar faces from the original work...
Nine years of silence have been enough to erase the little impact Luo Jie, a little butterfly, had on the world.
There is less than a year left before the main storyline begins, and it is almost impossible to plan ahead. There are only two things to do now.
One is to go to "Amazon Lily" to bear the anger of "Boya Hancock" who has been left alone for seven years.
The second is to find a reliable navigator.
Yes, Luo Jie is in urgent need of a navigator, and the priority of this matter is even higher than going to "Amazon Lily" for an appointment.
After all, once the "Boya" sisters board the ship, and the existing "Cannibal Oiran Red Silk" is added, his crew will increase to four people, and it will be impossible to use "Flying Sword Lucifer" to carry people like now
Flying around.
He had personally experienced the vagaries of weather on the Grand Line. Without an excellent navigator to plan a safe route, any storm could destroy the troops he had managed to pull together.
Thinking of this, Luo Jie made a decision.
"Boya Hancock" should continue to wait there. After all, it has been an extra seven years of waiting, and it is not necessary to wait for a few more months. It is business to find the navigator first.
In the context of the Great Pirate Age, navigators are actually not scarce, but truly excellent navigators are rare.
Among them, the most impressive one is naturally the navigator "Nami" of the protagonist "Straw Hat Pirates". Apart from having a bad temper, she is simply capable and capable.
If it weren't for the system limitations, "Nami" would definitely be Luo Jie's perfect choice as a navigator.
But the problem is, except for "Nami", those capable navigators have already shown their prominence and have been taken under the leadership of major pirate groups. With his bounty being zero, it is impossible for a rookie pirate group to successfully poach them.
Of course, if one chooses a general from among the dwarves, it is not that there is no candidate at all.
"Alita" is also from the East China Sea.
This name may seem unfamiliar at first, but after adding a series of prefixes, it will be very recognizable - the protagonist "Luffy"'s first battle in the novice village, and later relied on a "slippery fruit" to complete his transformation from short and ugly to white.
The shocking counterattack of the slim beauty, "Iron Rod Alita".
Although in the later stages of the plot, this girl has basically been reduced to a supporting role that is infinitely close to the background, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that "Iron Rod Arrita" is also a character with potential.
After being beaten away by "Luffy" at the beginning, this eldest sister was able to survive alone on the sea, which is enough to show that she has extremely rich navigation knowledge.
Later, after the captain "Bucky the Clown" was captured and sent to the underwater prison, he was still able to lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the Grand Line until "Bucky the Clown" escaped from prison. This is not something ordinary people can do.
And there has been an unconfirmed rumor about "Iron Rod Arrita". It is said that this girl is probably the illegitimate child of the second of the Four Emperors, "Hyundai Beast Kaido" and "Big Mom Charlotte Lingling"
female.
If this is really the case, this dual-power bloodline alone would be enough for "Iron Rod Arrita" to use him throughout his life.
but……
Although Luo Jie is not completely in control of his appearance, his "Iron Rod Alita" before eating the [Slippery Fruit] was really ugly.
Just like they are all unreasonable, the good-looking ones are called "coquettish", and the ugly ones are called "coquettish". Without the bonus of good looks, he is really not sure whether he would have kicked this ugly eldest sister in the middle of the voyage.
Kick into the sea and feed the sharks.
But if we have to wait for "Iron Rod Arrita" to make a grand transformation, then it will have to be at least a year before the protagonist "Luffy" goes to sea and the two have an encounter, otherwise God knows where to find the [Slippery Star]
fruit】.
etc……
Speaking of Donghai, Luo Jie suddenly thought of another person.
"Little Fox Karina".
This is a character who appears in the thirteenth movie "One Piece: Golden Castle". "Nami" is a friend she met when she was a girl. Not only did she help the Straw Hat Pirates defeat the BOSS "Golden Emperor Gilder", but also
In the end, everyone joined forces and drove away from the Golden Emperor's sea palace alone.
The character design is completely the purple-haired 2P version of "Nami", and is even slightly better than "Nami" in terms of intelligence.
She has a sailing talent that is comparable to that of "Nami" and is not a member of the protagonist, the Straw Hat Pirates. Isn't this the most suitable candidate to be a navigator?
The most important thing is that "Karina" at this point in time is not the cunning female phantom thief who turned her eyes eight hundred times in the later part of the original work. As long as she finds the right opportunity to intervene... uh, intervene, she can be easily recruited.
A beautiful girl who is as capable as "Nami".
Just leave.
Anyway, the crew at this stage only had one person and one dog, and Luo Jie was too lazy to use the [Beiming Youyu], so he directly summoned the [Flying Sword Lucifer] to pick up the "Red Silk" and the dog "Xiao Ke", and flew straight away.
