The next day, when she left Drum Island, Merry was driving on the calm sea as usual.
After leaving the climate range of the island, the weather began to clear, and Chopper quickly integrated into the boat. In addition to the care of two girls, he and Luffy and Usopp also had fun and now hadfast chats.
On the stern deck, Vivi and Nami sat on a chaise longue with the newspaper, which seemed to contain some amazing news, and neither looked good.
"Is that true?"
"What happened?"
"You see." Nami sat up from the chaise longue and spread the newspaper in turn.
On the side of the exercise, Reiner saw, put down the barbell in his hand, took the newspaper directly sitting on the ground, lit a cigarette, and looked slowly.
The most striking position in the upper left corner is a picture of the battle, looking at the scale of hundreds of people on both sides, with the headline "Battlefield Pioneers: Latest News on the Civil War in Alabasta."
As he looked down, Reiner's eyebrows gradually raised.
"How did the king's army turn away more than 300,000 people in just one month?"
The original king army of 600,000 against the rebel army of 400,000, even in the blink of an eye, became the rebel army of 700,000 against 300,000.
A million-person war, which Reiner had never seen or imagined, was so large that it was far greater than he could have imagined.
I looked up at Vivi; I'm afraid she's in a hurry now.
"It was still news from a few days ago, and I am afraid that the battle of Alabasta will not be far away."
"Reiner, can you say something nice? Vivi is already very sad." Nami whitened him, not a good airway.
"This kind of thing is not a good word to solve; Reiner, just stop," said:
"But before Sanji and the crocodile spoke by telephone, it washis information that our voyage should have been able to arrive before the outbreak of the decisive battle."
"Yes, Vivi, don't be in a hurry."
"I'm sorry, but you're worried."
Vivi raised her hand and wiped her face, holding out a smile. "Everyone has tried their best to help me hurry. Even if I am anxious about the boat, there is no way to speed up."
"Let's wash my face." Then Vivi got up and went to the boat.
"This child has not yet asked us for help."
Nami looked in the direction of Vivi's departure, a worried look, and looked back at Reiner: "Then we will help her."
"Isn't that something that everyone has long acquiesced to?"
Reiner picked up the barbell on the ground, and although Vivi's commission was tasked with sending her to Alabasta, everyone agreed that she was a companion to the ship.
"Anyway, that's the Seven Warlords of the Sea issue, and it's all right to cut it." The Zoro appendage on the side of the exercise.
"Don't say it's that simple, idiot; that's the Seven Warlords of the Sea." Nami's hands forked at her waist and flushed.
After a while, Usopp and Sanji came over to the back of the ship. "Reiner, Zoro, can you start?"
"You've come just right." Reiner put down the barbell and ripped off the towel that hung around her neck and dried the sweat.
Since the Little Garden, Reiner began to use the method taught by the two giants to start the domineering practice.
Almost zero, anyway; in the Battle of Alabasta, he must have been too late to learn.
However, this kind of thing is not a one-day feat, and the physical qualities of him, Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy are enough to start domineering cultivation on the boat, so he began to learn early.
The solution is very simple, just like the original Rayleigh teaching road, which is the cultivation method of almost all pirates, blindfolded and beaten.
At the same time, cultivate to see and smell and arm color, and in this process, we must feel each other's life and breath and, at the same time, imagine that they are wearing invisible armor.
It's general, but I'll understand what it means when I really try it.
Usopp drew out three black belts and blinded the eyes of Reiner, Zoro and Sanji, who were sitting on the ground.
"Ready to be?" I'm going to start."
He said that Usopp took out a stick and waved it twice, and the sound of the air made Nami shudder on the side.
"Cultivate, I'm going to find Vivi." Nami hastened to leave.
"I'm ready."
"Come on, Usopp!"
The reason why Usopp came is because, according to the giant uncle, if they do not seriously attack, their layman can't feel the rest of the other party.
But if they are serious, they can resist only Usopp and Nami and Vivi, two girls.
Obviously, the two girls were not interested in this matter at all, and as for Reiner's undead, there was no way; the undead did not live like this.
槆-
"Oh hey!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Reiner."
"It's all right, Usopp, you go on."
Soon after the ship came a burst of blows and howls.
Luffy, who has the highest physical quality, cannot cultivate for a while because the blow is not a threat to him, and Luffy is completely unable to stand up and be prepared, and he cannot cut it with a real knife.
"Hold on, I can't do it."
After a while, Usopp ran out of physical strength, and the three people of Reiner were slapped and turned away, unable to lift their attention, and ended their cultivation.
"It's almost time; I'll cook." He rubbed his head, and Sanji shook his head and left.
The other three lay down directly, looking at the sky, one by one.
"You are as strong as a monster, and compared to you, I am no different from ordinary people."
"What, I'm not happy to say it outside; I'm very weak."
"Then dress up." Usopp despised the road, paused and then said:
"Reiner, Zoro, can you teach me to be strong?"
Reiner could not help but look at Usopp. "How suddenly there is such a thought."
He never thought of forcing others to train or exercise or others to teach. They want to enhance strength; more importantly, they have a strong determination; otherwise, do not waste everyone's time.
Even the road flies on weekdays, and they exercise themselves very hard from a young age.
"This time the opponent is the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and I hope that I can help."
Usopp looked at the sky disapprovingly and spoke, but his eyes flashed a touch of firmness, and when the end came, Usopp felt bad; only he knew.
Moreover, he is a sniper on the ship as a combat member on the ship, but not as a logistics member or a member of the logistics team.
"But, even so, everyone's path is always different." Reiner opened lightly:
"I don't know what can be done to improve your strength in a short period of time, either. Do you think about the devil's fruit?"
"The fruit of the devil," Usopp turned to look at him and pondered for a moment:
"Forget it; if there are too many people on board, you can't save it if you fall into the water."
"Well, if that's the case, let's start with exercise." With a smile, Reiner sat up and said,
"No matter which way you go, strong physical fitness is an indispensable foundation."
"Well, let me join you in your training."
"Yes."
"Welcome to join."
Time passes in the day-to-day exercise.
The fifth day off Drum Island.
"See the island, all of you!"
On the Merry watchtower, Reiner shouted below and turned to look ahead.
Saint-Ding, a superpower with a population of tens of millions—
The location of Alabasta.
The whole island was far away, looking at the endless red earth, which was roasted hot by the sun, and as soon as it entered the nearby sea, the air began to become dreary, making people involuntarily become irritable.
Hearing the voices of the people coming out of the cabin, Vivi ran impatiently to the bow and held the railing to look at them.
"Where are we going to land here?" Reiner jumped from the watchtower and came to Vivi.
"It's a port city, and the Merry can dock there." Vivi reached out and pointed to a position.
"Understood."
The undead began to operate the rudder and sail, and the Merry shifted a little, heading towards Vivi's finger.
