Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 364 Legendary Apostle

"Meow?"

"boatman?"

Repairing dozens of ships at the same time would indeed require a large number of boatmen.

Li Xia smiled and said, "Have you forgotten where this is?"

Black Charcoal was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was Water Seven!

It is also home to the world's largest shipyard, and the official shipyard of the world government.

The shipyard's owner, Iceberg, had just survived an assassination attempt, which was thwarted by his secretary, Kella.

And Kerla was his comrade.
In other words, at this moment, Li Xia possesses unprecedented power.

Iceberg's shipyard has tens of thousands of shipwrights, and its four branches combined form a navy larger than a vice admiral's fleet.

This is the real reason why Li Xia is confident in charging 'entrance fees' here!

After listening to Li Xia's explanation briefly, Xiao Hei began to doubt its own existence again.

No, this is something the boss came up with in such a short time?

If it's about blocking the main entrance of Judicial Island to collect 'protection money,' then it's a plan that Blackie can understand.

However, the outbreak of naval battles in this area is entirely a random event.

In a short period of time, think through all the cards you can play, and then arrange them into a combination that may not be the best, but is highly feasible.
Maomao was shocked!

Sure enough, when the second team came in and saw the sign, their faces showed the same bewilderment and shock as the first team.

I thought he was a character from the story, but he turned out to be an apostle?
An apostle is an apostle after all. After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, he immediately agreed to pay the money.

And so, one team after another, Heitan watched as the Hall Points in his account steadily increased.

There are more than 30 teams here. Normally, a team consists of 4-6 people, which means that on average, a team can earn 10,000 Hall Points.

A rough calculation shows that it's only around 300,000 Hall Points!
This is just the initial gain from this single global event. Based on the leader's usual level of gains, it's likely to be at least several million Hall Points.

The boss had mentioned before that someone told him that later on, the difference in benefits between apostles would become increasingly greater as their rank and strength increased.

It's only at the third tier now, but it's already starting to show promise.

"Two thousand per person? Interesting."

Black Charcoal snapped out of his daze and saw several apostles looking at the sign with great interest, then glancing at Li Xia:
"You're an apostle too? To become a naval captain in such a short time... you must have used some kind of tool, right?"

Li Xia leaned back and calmly tapped the sign:
"Do you want to hand it over or not?"

"Are we the twenty-first or twenty-second?"

The leading apostle appeared to be a very kind middle-aged man. He turned to his team members and asked:
"Twenty-two, I guess?"

A boy behind him pushed up his glasses and said confidently:

"That's right, twenty-two."

"Oh, based on the number of people, doesn't that mean you've already collected over 200,000 Hall Points?"

Wow, such huge profits, I'm getting a little tempted!

The middle-aged man's mouth gradually widened into a grin, and he turned back to look at Li Xia:
"You really made the most of this prop, and you're quite clever. Your starting position is a naval captain—at least a purple prop."

Okay, I'll give you a chance.

The middle-aged man pointed to the sign:
"How about handing over half of your profits to me and joining my team?"

"To hand it over or not to hand it over?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Li Xia to completely ignore him, which only fueled his growing interest. As a seed member of the 'Temple of Truth,' although not a core member, he was undoubtedly one of the most powerful fighters in the current world.

He fears no one except the 'Time Scavengers' who are also in this world.

The reason for going to Enies Lobby was that the team members had occasionally obtained mission items and came to check it out out of boredom; he hadn't even bothered to participate in the previous naval battles.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Bill."

Bill waved, and the team members behind him immediately stepped forward and took out a comfortable chair from the space.

"I am a seed member of the seventh-tier guild, the Temple of Truth. You should have heard of the Apostle matching mechanism in derivative worlds, right?"

The Apostle Matching Mechanism of the Derivative World is a term that the Apostles themselves figured out and created; the Temple of Light has never explained it.

Each rank has a large number of apostles, especially the lower ranks, where the number of apostles is astonishingly large.

As a 'paradise' and 'cultivation dish' for lower-ranking apostles created by the Temple of Light, the derivative worlds cannot possibly be used by only a few people or a small number of people in a single world.

He will deploy a large number of apostles in a single derivative world, most likely thousands or even more.

With so many apostles, if they all share the same goal or mission, it wouldn't be a good environment for apostles who are still in the early stages of their development.

Raising Gu poison also depends on the situation and occasion.

Therefore, these apostles were separated and assigned different targets and regions according to their level of strength.

There are tasks for each level one, tasks for each level two, and tasks for each level three; this is the norm.

This is exactly the kind of division mechanism Bill was referring to.

"Those with the strongest abilities will also be given the most difficult tasks by the Hall of Fame, according to the dynamic task mechanism."

Bill didn't wait for Li Xia's reply, but continued speaking to himself:

"The second-tier guild, Time Scavengers, is undoubtedly the strongest this time. They had already warned others to avoid the Summit War."

Therefore, their mission must be related to the most intense and difficult Marineford War in this derivative world.

"And we, the Temple of Truth, are second only to the Time Scavengers in this world. Our arrival at Enies Lobby was purely accidental."

He raised his head, looked at the silent Li Xia, and finally revealed the arrogance unique to large guilds:

"Enies Lobby - a mission point prepared only for low-level third-tier apostles, yet you, as a naval captain, have become involved in the Enies Lobby storyline."

Do I even need to say it? Relying on a one-time-use purple item to gain status, do you really think you have any real power?

Bill pointed to the door, his words brimming with confidence:
"Is the navy outside your backing? A mere colonel, not even a vice admiral, utterly vulnerable!"
You asked me before, "Should I pay?"

Bill leaned forward, his movements conveying a powerful sense of pressure, and said softly:
"Now, I want to ask you—whether you agree or not."

Of course, there is another possibility: that the apostles' strength and performance satisfied the temple.

They might even create a new world just for him, allowing him to do whatever he wants, as simple tasks are no longer enough to satisfy his growth needs.

He needs the whole world as his stage.

Each of these apostles is a legend.

Watching Bill's performance, Blackie couldn't help but let out a big yawn.

What are you mumbling about? Why aren't you making a move yet? I'm getting sleepy waiting for the other side to make the first move and trick me into giving them the right to retaliate!
