In short, various rumors about Li Xiao are rapidly spreading to every corner of the world like a strong wind passing by.
Some people said that he had died in the battle, some said that he disappeared from the world, and his whereabouts are unknown, some just disappeared from the world, and some said that he completely broke with the Straw Hat Adventure Group, so he broke away and established his own business.
There are also rumors that he was captured by the sea jun and imprisoned in the underwater prison, the bottom layer of the impel city, where he lived a dark and painful prisoner's life.
It can be said that there are countless such rumors, and there are as many versions as there are, and there are so many of them.
Naturally, Li Xiao didn't know about the various rumors that people were discussing.
At this time, he was standing on the bow of the terrifying three-masted sailboat with his hands behind his back.
The terrifying three-masted sailboat sailed on the sea at a not very fast speed. Because it was so huge, one-sixth of the hull was sunk into the sea, which is enough to show how huge the draft is.
.
The blue sea surface glowed with sparkling light under the sunlight. The terrifying three-masted sailboat sailed past, leaving a long white mark, like a castle moving slowly, splashing pieces.
The crystal waves come, emitting bright and gorgeous light and shadow, and are filled with moist salty moisture.
The gentle breeze blew on people's cheeks, making people feel excited. From time to time, there were chirping sounds next to their ears. Soon, they saw those seagulls flying past the side of the ship.
, just like an elf on the sea.
"Time flies so fast. Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. When it comes time to really say goodbye to them, I feel a little bit reluctant to say goodbye."
Looking at the endless blue sea, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel in a trance.
Before he knew it, Li Xiao had already spent half a year on the Sunshine Mile.
During this period, he had already formed a very deep friendship with Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and others, with laughter, frolics, tears, and infinite touches and memories.
These were like little beautiful moments, creating ripples in his heart. The bond between brothers is extremely precious.
However, if you want to become stronger, you have to go on your own and become stronger, so that you can protect your cherished partners.
As that sentence says, today's separation is actually for a better reunion tomorrow. If this sentence is taken here, it is naturally more appropriate.
"Looking forward to meeting you in the second half of the Grand Route."
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up with a slight arc, and there was also a trace of expectation in his heart. The next time they meet, those guys will definitely become more powerful, he said in his heart.
…
…
Then, he turned his head and looked behind him. Rows of zombies with hideous faces and claws were standing in an orderly manner. At a glance, this huge ship like a castle was actually covered with zombies.
It was full of zombies, so densely packed and so vast that it almost made Li Xiao suffer from trypophobia.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiao suddenly remembered that in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, after Captain Barbossa snatched the Black Pearl from Jack's hand, all his men were cursed by an ancient curse.
Whenever the moonlight shines on them, they will turn into a bunch of half-human and half-ghost moving skeletons.
Therefore, whenever night comes, Barbossa and his men on the Black Pearl will turn into ugly and ferocious skeletons, which are also piled up throughout the ship.
Although there are essential differences between zombies and skeletons, they are similar. Thinking of the scenes in the movie, and looking at the scene in front of you, Li Xiao sighed, this is really
What an interesting occasion.
"Master, are we going to drive back to the Magic Triangle next?"
Just when Li Xiao was thinking to himself, Xiaoqiang on the side asked.
He looked at Li Xiao, with a hint of inquiry in his words.
After being interrupted by Xiao Qiang, Li Xiao came back to his senses. Facing Xiao Qiang's confused gaze, Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I won't go back. This place is close to the Holy Lands of Mariejoia and Marineland, the second half of the Grand Line."
The entrance to the section is also here. How could we miss such a place with outstanding people and places? If we don’t leave, let’s set up our base camp here.”
Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, then let's park the terrifying three-masted ship here."
"It's not just that simple."
Li Xiao curled his lips and revealed a rather mysterious smile.
Immediately, he tapped his toes lightly on the deck, and his whole body rose into the air. Following Li Xiao's thoughts, a model of an island suddenly appeared in his palm, with vegetation and various shapes in it.
An enlarged version of the creature sits among them, looking lifelike.
"Go for it!"
Li Xiao raised his arm, flicked it gently, and threw the island model out.
As for the island model, after it flew out, it swelled in the wind, and the island base, trees, flowers, beaches, and rocks on it were all constantly enlarged.
Finally, after being enlarged tens of thousands of times, the entire model finally turned into a real island.
"Boom!"
Skull Island suddenly fell, and the powerful falling force formed a huge impact force, causing rolling waves. These monstrous waves rolled out in anger, and even directly hit several passing ships.
They were all knocked to the ground.
Even the terrifying three-masted sailboat was almost capsized. However, fortunately, Li Xiao controlled the angle and water flow in it, so that the latter avoided the possibility of capsizing.
The whole scene is like a huge stone, making huge ripples on the plane. It can be said to be huge and amazing!
"Unexpectedly, an island was created out of thin air."
Li Xiao conjured an incoming feat out of thin air, which made Xiaoqiang's eyes flash with a look of horror.
I have heard the saying of building tall buildings from flat ground before, but Li Xiao built a huge island directly on the sea. The terrifying three-masted sailboat under their feet was simply nothing compared to Skull Island.
A small witch can make a big witch, the difference is really not that big.
The Skeleton Island sitting above the sea is like a huge fortress, steep and spectacular, and breathtaking.
…
…
This skull island was a reward that Li Xiao received after traveling through the movie world of "The Mummy" and drawing a red envelope.
It is based on the Skeleton Island in the movie, with a ratio of one to ten thousand. It can be scaled and adjusted freely according to Li Xiao's wishes. This is its magic.
It can be said that this is also an important point that Li Xiao is proud of.
This island can not only be used to enlarge or shrink, or used as a sea base, but more powerfully, it can also be used as a magic weapon to attack.
I still remember that in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Li Xiao used this Skull Island to directly blast through the body of the old Black Mountain demon, thereby creating a good opportunity for their battle.
.
Therefore, this skull island is simply a must-have for leisure and entertainment, challenging bosses, traveling and home. It is very practical, and it is also one of Li Xiao's favorite magic weapons.
At this moment, Li Xiao felt full of pride after sacrificing him.
Li Xiao's figure swayed slightly, as if he was stepping in the air, he landed from the air and landed on the ground of the Skeleton Island. At the same time, Xiaoqiang followed closely and landed.
Wandering among the trees on Skull Island, you will be greeted by lush and beautiful scenery, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the fragrance overflowing.
However, the things here are so huge. It looks like a doubled world. The area of the island itself is very huge. At a rough look, it is at least hundreds of acres in size, with rich products.
The vitality is also extremely abundant.
The towering trees tower into the clouds. The trunk of the tree is as strong as ten people hugging each other. Its vines and roots also have the diameter of a millstone. The clear stream winds along the gaps between the tree roots.
Winding down, the sound of tinkling springs could be heard.
"Roar! Phew!"
From time to time in the forest, the sounds of apes and tigers roaring, full of wild roars, and a miasma filled the air, all tell the story of its mystery.
There are also dinosaurs roaming in it. It is like an isolated wonderland with dangerous jungles and countless prehistoric creatures hiding in it.
However, what is weird is that when these creatures meet Li Xiao, they are extremely docile and well-behaved, without any viciousness at all.
It looks like a pet raised by Li Xiao. It even behaves affectionately, leans on Li Xiao's side, and makes coquettish and flattering sounds, making it look very cute and cute.
"This will be our base camp from now on, and I will declare myself the Lord of Skull Island."
Li Xiao squinted his eyes, pointed at Skull Island in front of him, and said with a slightly condensed expression.
…
…
In this way, Li Xiao led the zombie army and set up camp on this skeleton island.
The reason why Li Xiao chose to settle down here naturally had his own considerations. One of the most important factors was the strategic geographical location here. It is close to the Red Earth Continent and the middle section of the Great Route, and there are also many ships coming and going.
It is a prosperous area.
Of course, in order to increase one's own power quickly.
Li Xiao is also prepared with both hands.
First, it is the cultivation and growth of the zombie army.
In the battle with humanoid weapons, its power has been perfectly demonstrated, so this point is worthy of Li Xiao's good use.
For refining zombies, the dense fog in the Magic Triangle has enough evil energy and is almost cut off from any light. It can be said that it is a natural place for refining zombies.
Therefore, Xiaoqiang's mission is to control the terrifying three-masted sailboat and return to the Magic Triangle, where he will continue to replace Li Xiao, refine zombies, and quickly form a zombie army.
On the one hand, Huogubak also went to the cemetery where he kept digging out corpses, and then provided them to Xiaoqiang for him to refine.
Therefore, with the cooperation of Xiaoqiang and Huogubak, a zombie army can be formed at a relatively fast speed.
On the other hand, Li Xiao also wants to set up a banner and establish an adventure group, and its name is called Shenlong Adventure Group.
It also means that like a dragon, it can swim freely in the sea. This is what Li Xiao thinks in his heart.
As Luffy said, the so-called Pirate King is where he can roam freely on the sea.
Since it is an adventure group, it naturally needs crew members, a large number of crew members, and their skills and abilities must be strong enough, and they must have the qualifications and strength of the Shenlong Adventure Group. Otherwise, he will not establish this adventure group.
What?
At the same time, Li Xiao also sent his men to post recruitment orders everywhere. The target he recruited was not anyone else, but Haizei, and he was also a very vicious Haizei.
When he started doing this, many people were confused.
Because, in this dimension, there are people who recruit workers and assistants, but they have never recruited Haizei. This operation is really a bit unexpected.
However, in Li Xiao's opinion, this is an excellent way to quickly expand his power. In fact, after a period of observation, Li Xiao also discovered.
Many pirates want to find treasures. In fact, it is not for the so-called sailing dream, but for real money and silver to reward themselves and support their families.
In fact, many people hang their heads on their belts to explore treasures, because sailing on the sea is a very dangerous thing. The weather is changeable and dangerous, and the mood of the sea is even more so.
The clouds are constantly changing, and the clouds are treacherous.
Moreover, under the deep sea, there are many sea kings who jump to the surface from time to time and make waves, not to mention the many pirates fighting each other and the pursuit and wanted of sea kings.
These Haizei are always on tenterhooks every day. If they had other choices, how could they get into this profession? It can be said that many people are forced to have no choice. If there were other better choices, they would not
I am willing to live such a life of fear every day.
…
…
Li Xiao's approach perfectly captured this mentality. He wanted to recruit pirates and use money to recruit these pirate forces for his own use. At the same time, it also served as a reserve of strength.
And a strong deterrent to the outside world.
Of course, when it comes to recruitment, others will not work for you for free. Of course, money and remuneration must be paid, but for Li Xiao, is he the kind of owner who is short of money?
The result is definitely negative. Li Xiao is not short of money, and his assets are enough to be worth the entire property of a Tianlong family.
For this reason, Li Xiao was naturally able to spend money unscrupulously and start recruiting pirates in large numbers.
However, his recruitment is not that blind, but has standards. For example, those who disobey orders will not be recruited, those who have had very bad behavior will not be recruited, and those who are too weak will not be recruited. Of course, if
If you are strong enough, you will receive very generous treatment on Skull Island.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the amount of money used for Li Xiao's recruitment was very clever and was determined based on the amount of reward offered by Hai Jun.
For example, if a pirate's bounty is 20 million beli, then Li Xiao can get a reward of 40 million beli a year, which is half of the former, which means that it is twice as much.
This is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
Just imagine, on the one hand, you are wanted by the sea jun, wandering on the sea, living a life of no fixed abode, and having to worry about being arrested by the sea jun every day.
On the other side, they can receive a remuneration that is more than half of their worth, and then live a life of food, clothing, and good treatment on Skull Island. They can also use it as a strong backing and a shelter. At most, they can perform some Li Xiao
Posted tasks, or training.
But this kind of life is so much better than the previous one. It is like a heaven and earth, so why not do it.
The reward in this recruitment order is somewhat intended to antagonize the world's government, but otherwise, how can it show Li Xiao's superiority?!
Soon, Li Xiao's recruitment orders were posted in many places by his subordinates. These recruitment orders were like flying catkins in the air, scattered to every corner of the Grand Route.
