Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 360 Warning! You are facing an extremely dangerous unit!
Over the next few days, Li Xia went straight into 'vacation mode'.

Besides experiencing the famous bathhouse in Seven Waters every day, I would also go shopping with Kurotan.

Seeing that Li Xia kept his promise relieved the CP9 members who were secretly observing.
The arrangements for Nico Robin are complete, and to prevent any unforeseen complications, CP9 has decided to begin fulfilling its promise.

In a quiet seaside cafe, Heitan frowned at the 'cat poop coffee' in front of him, even wanting to pour it directly onto the shop owner's face.

"Have a drink. It's called civet coffee, but it's just regular coffee beans."

Li Xia picked up the cup and took a sip. He didn't know much about coffee, but he did know about the shop.

There's also cat poop coffee in the One Piece world, produced by an animal called a cat.

The taste isn't actually the best, but because of the hype, it's priced as high as gold. Normally, a cup of authentic Kopi Luwak costs 1 Berries.

The Black Charcoal drink costs only 50 Berries, which is equivalent to one 'Chopper'.

The "cat poop coffee" label is just for the sake of sounding nice.

Black Charcoal nodded as if it understood, stuck out its little tongue and licked it, then immediately wrinkled its face at the bitterness.

As its strength grows, the black charcoal's senses become more and more like those of a human, such as its supposed nearsightedness and poor color vision.

They have disappeared without a trace, and their sense of taste has become increasingly rich, evolving from less than one-tenth the size of humans to being close to that of humans.

It can even eat Snickers and Dove chocolates!
"Brubrubru, brubrubru"

Li Xia put down the cup in his hand and took out the CP9 Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

This telephone-like device is equivalent to a mobile phone in the One Piece world, something that ordinary people can't afford.

Furthermore, the CP9 also comes with an earpiece, making it a high-end product.

"Outer Ring Street, Baker Hotel, Room 201".

After just a few words, Den Den Mushi's eyes drooped, and it fell asleep.

"Meow?"

Li Xia shook her head and said softly:

“CP9’s intelligence capabilities aren’t that strong; it’s just that their focus is entirely on this right now, which is why they’ve been able to gather this intelligence.”

CP9 isn't just Rob Lucci and his group; they also have a large number of peripheral members.

When they decide on something, the outside team will first be dispatched to gather various intelligence.

Naturally, they also noticed the apostles surging towards Water Seven.

Li Xia placed one hundred Berries under the cup and stood up:

"Let's go! Let's take a look."

"Enies Lobby - Thriller Bark - Sabaody Archipelago - Marineford War"

The cigarette was stubbed out in the ashtray, and the remaining half of the white paper roll was creased in several places.

As the burning cigarette butt went out, wisps of smoke rose upwards, and a few rays of sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the window.

Several dappled shadows were cast on the person's face, giving it a somewhat mysterious appearance.

"These are the only storylines that follow. The only ones where we can make a name for ourselves are Enies Lobby, Sabaody Archipelago, and Marineford."

The woman crossed her arms, hiding herself in the shadows. As one of the team's strategists, devising plans was her duty.

"My suggestion is to focus our efforts on Enies Lobby. Sabaody or the Marineford War are the stage for those big guilds, and it's difficult for a small team like ours to achieve anything."

Upon entering this world, the team's first main quest is 'Choice': choosing which faction to join.

Having made prior preparations, the team chose to become pirates without hesitation and formed a pirate crew.

The next task then unfolds: free time to move around within a specified period, with the rewards calculated based on the entire group's bounty.

These are basically the standard missions for pirates, while the missions of solo apostles are more clearly defined.

It's mostly about killing, and large guilds generally choose the pirate route because it's more free and offers more ways to gain rewards.

“V is right.”

The person seated in the main seat in the shadows placed their hands over their mouth and said softly:

"The Garbage Collectors are here too. I heard they're planning something big. They'll definitely get involved in the Marineford War. It's best if we don't get involved."

They are far more ruthless; they might clear the area if necessary.

The burly man, who had just stubbed out a cigarette, lit another one and said irritably:
"Damn it, the bounty is going up way too slowly. We've slaughtered several small islands already, and we must have killed at least several thousand people, right?"
The father was stabbed right after he was born.

He even sent photos to the newspaper, using every method imaginable. He even dried the skin he peeled off and stuck it on the beach.

The burly man pulled out a wanted poster and slammed it on the table:

"It only went up by 20 million! Is the World Government out of its mind? If you're going to put a bounty on me, at least offer a high price!"

If you ask me, why don't we just rip off a Celestial Dragon at the auction house in Sabaody Archipelago!

Absolutely skyrocketing!

"Shut up, what kind of daydream are you having! This increase is already quite good."

V stood up and walked into the dappled sunlight, her burgundy bodycon dress perfectly outlining her graceful figure.

The same red high heels made a crisp 'tap tap tap' sound as they stepped on the floor.

The burly man retorted defiantly:

"How is that considered good? The garbage collector slaughtered an entire island and got a bounty of over 100 million, while we only have 20 million?"

"That's because the islands we visited weren't member states of the World Government!"
They went to the member states, it's that simple!

Seeing that the burly man seemed inclined to continue speaking, V interrupted him without hesitation:

"You keep calling them trash collectors, but would you dare say that to their faces? They're the Time Scavengers, a second-tier guild!"
They dare to slaughter member states, but we don't!

And the Celestial Dragons? Are they people we can even touch? If just one of their generals comes along, we'll be wiped out.

So the only chance is on Enies Lobby!

As the argument grew more and more intense, the captain felt a headache coming on. Most of the original squad had died when they were advancing to the third tier.

The new players added within the third stage are still in the adjustment period, which is inevitable.

This constant disbanding and regrouping of small groups was the norm within the temple, and most apostles stumbled and staggered forward in this way.

"stop fighting!"

The captain coldly shouted:
“V is right, the Time Scavengers are not people we can touch. Enies Lobby is indeed a good opportunity.”

Kill more naval personnel on the outskirts; the naval officers who come to support from behind are excellent targets with a good drop rate.

The box can contain the Six Styles and weapon boxes; it's worth keeping for yourself or selling.

The Six Styles are quite popular in the Hall of Fame. Moonwalk and Shave can sell for around 30,000 points, while Finger Pistol and Tempest Kick can sell for around 10,000 to 20,000 points.

Iron blocks are the cheapest; nobody wants them even if they cost one or two thousand.

The captain spoke up, and the two of them snorted coldly, giving each other face and ceasing their argument.

"Now let's talk about the specific action plan—"

"Boom boom boom!"

A gentle knock was heard on the wooden door at the entrance, and the group of people suddenly changed their expressions, turning their heads to look at a person huddled in the corner.

"I've put up the silence spell and the warning charm."

The young man, who was being watched by everyone, looked bewildered. He had only joined this team twice, and his main profession was a talisman master. He was definitely a big spender and a bottom-tier character in the early game.

Therefore, they don't have much say in the team and are basically used as support.

"dong dong dong"

The wooden door continued to rattle slowly. The captain stood up, slowly drawing his long sword, and the others prepared to attack.

His gaze shifted to the burly man, and he gestured towards the doorway with his lip.

The burly man took a deep breath; as a front-line melee fighter, this was his responsibility.

But before he even reached the door, the waiting guests were already getting impatient and decided to open the door themselves.

The heavy wooden door whistled off its frame, brushed past them, and slammed against the wall.

It fits perfectly into the wall, like a door.

Wearing a navy coat, Li Xia withdrew his hand and glanced around.

The smoke and dust around him were pushed away by an invisible force field, then condensed and rose behind him, while sunlight filtering through the blinds shone on his body.

This gave shape to the smoke and dust.

"What's going on? It's the navy!"

The burly man let out a long breath and nonchalantly lowered his guarded hands.

Judging from the epaulets on his coat, he's just a colonel, a mere naval colonel.
Not only him, but the other members also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the navy coat Li Xia was wearing.

They broke through two layers of talismans without making a sound, and I thought the one who came was a formidable opponent.

They never considered that the world they entered was a reset derivative world.

No apostle has 'progress' in this world, and even if they join the Navy, it is absolutely impossible for them to become a Navy Captain at the very beginning.

They usually start as sergeants, accumulating merits by capturing pirates.

"He's just in the way, kill him."

The captain waved his hand, saying that the terms "colonel level" and "general level" were completely different concepts, and the person who came was not someone from the story.

Although it was impossible, he still instinctively sent out a probe towards the other party.

On Li Xia's forehead, a phantom eye pattern quietly appeared, beginning to resist reconnaissance.

[Comparing the intelligence and mental attributes of both parties]

[The target detected during the judgment process has been weighted, and you have been suppressed.]

[Due to the difference in intelligence/mental ability between the two parties, you only receive 40% of the information.]

[WARNING! You are facing an extremely dangerous unit!]

[Light D. Shah (Marine Headquarters Colonel, Revolutionary Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Pirate Nightmare, Dragon Hunter, Tier 2 Team Killer, Tier 2 Supreme, SS-Rank Solo Guild Leader)]

The captain felt a chill rise from his feet, travel up his spine and straight to his head, his scalp tingled, and he involuntarily trembled twice.

His detection is enhanced detection, providing additional bonuses to stats and skills.

Although these are not data, the captain felt that sometimes this information could reveal a lot of extra intelligence.

For example, right now —

He was completely stunned when he saw that long list of titles.

Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Revolutionary Army? Dragon Slayer? Second-tier Supreme?

And what the hell is an SS-rank solo guild leader?!
Is this what a third-order mechanic should look like?
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; fear made his body tremble involuntarily.

The captain felt his mouth was extremely dry and hoarse. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and squeezed out a voice that was so terrified that it was almost distorted.

"escape!!!"

The burly man was grinning as he threw a punch, but after hearing the captain's inhuman roar, his grin turned into confusion.

But all the strength in his body was converging on his right fist, and in such a hurry, there was no way to withdraw it.

"Snapped!"

Two slender fingers pressed against his right fist, which was originally just brute force, and he tried to pull it back.

There are only four words to describe it: lack of follow-up.

He stretched out his left palm, a few inches away, and vaguely aimed it at the burly man's chest.

All the strength in his body erupted from his palm like a volcanic eruption.

Finger pistols - Bye!

Legend has it that only by tempering one's body to its limit and mastering all six techniques can one comprehend this finger-gun technique that releases power from a distance.

This technique is also the ultimate 'secret technique' of CP9's Six Styles.

It was precisely this profound mystery that Li Xia grasped within a single day of obtaining the Finger Gun.

He even taught the charcoal.

"Oh!"

The burly man's face suddenly turned bright red, his eyes bulged outwards, and he involuntarily opened his mouth, spitting out crimson blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

However, it was blocked by an invisible force field in front of Li Xia and slowly slid down along an unseen barrier.

The clothes on the burly man's back first bulged and bulged, then tore and flew off under the force of the impact. This force continued to fly until it slammed into the wall.

Amidst the deafening roar, a handprint magnified more than ten times appeared, deeply embedded in the wall, exceptionally clear.

It's still not perfect; the power is scattered. Only when the palm print is the same size as the palm will it be considered a complete success.

With a gentle push of the two fingers that had blocked the burly man's fist, the fingers then lightly tapped the man's forehead, just like Itachi Uchiha had tapped his foolish little brother.

But the burly man seemed to have been hit hard; his whole body trembled, his head tilted back uncontrollably, and then his whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, his brain had been twisted into tofu-like congee by the force of the finger gun.

As the light converged, a blood-red key materialized on his body.

The scene was so fast that the team felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, with a chill running through them.

What a monster is this!

Although the burly man wasn't a tank, he was still a melee fighter, at least a mid-tier Tier 3 fighter, yet he couldn't even last three seconds before being swiftly and decisively killed.

"Buzz!"

shave!
Black Charcoal's body suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already behind the talisman master.

His entire body leaped into the air.

Sharp claws shot out, mimicking Li Xia's style, unleashing the same explosive force.

"Meow!"

Finger Gun - Six Kings Claw Gun!

At the same time, its tail was also swinging rapidly.

A deep blue slash instantly detached from the tail – Tempest Kick: Tail-Tail Slash!

Although the kitten's slash was completely insignificant in front of Li Xia.

But at this moment, he straightened his back.

The slash silently sliced ​​through the still-stunned female apostle in her wine-red dress, then broke through the wall and flew into the distance.

The captain's eyes were bloodshot as he gripped his long sword tightly and roared as he charged forward.

But when his gaze met Kurotan's eyes, he saw those scarlet, slowly rotating Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

He came back covered in sweat.
Holy crap, it cracked! I forgot to post it, what a waste of a leave request!
