The Age of Exploration, don't disturb my cultivation of immortality.

And you still want to ask us how to get to the nearest naval branch?

What kind of crazy move is that?!

Can't you show us a little respect?

I've really seen something amazing – like being poked in the butt with a knife!

see,

Li Xiao frowned slightly and said:

"What? You seem to have a problem with my arrangements! Then why don't we just chop them up on the spot!"

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking

The surrounding mermen all raised their hands and pointed in one direction.

Without hesitation, they all said in unison:

"Naval Division G-16!"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao nodded.

Silently, he lowered the Frost Sword he had just raised.

He pressed on, asking further:

"Where is the G-16 headquarters? How long does it take to get there from here?"

Amidst the cacophony of chatter from the Arlong Pirates...

Li Xiao got the answer he wanted.

The Navy's G-16 Division is directly under the command of the Navy Headquarters.

It is found all over the world.

The nearest naval base, G-16, is located further east.

The journey is very short. (9@75;62-8841)

It's only about a half-day journey.

If we leave as soon as possible, we might even be able to make it back for dinner!

Then,

Li Xiao immediately waved his hand.

Their captain was carried by the fish-men of the Arlong Pirates.

Heading to Navy G-16 Division!

Although the Arlong Pirates have lived on the island for a long time,

But as a legitimate pirate crew that is not short of money,

Of course, they still had their own pirate ships.

And now,

These pirate ships are perfect for Li Xiao!

Guided by the Arlong Pirates,

The Arlong Pirates' ship was piloted by its own crew members to the Navy's G-16 branch.

Exchange all the members of the Arlong Pirates for their bounties to fund Li Xiao's future food expenses!

To put it simply—I'm selling myself, and I'll give you the money!

This wave...

This is a move that's like killing someone by attacking their spirit!

Just as the Arlong Pirates lined up and boarded the ship in an orderly fashion,

Nami, who had rushed off to inform the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, has returned!

Li Xiao frowned slightly.

its not right,

Although they are both on this small island,

However, there is still a distance between Cocoyasi Village and the Dragon's Domain.

With Nami's speed,

In addition, we need to notify the villagers.

They shouldn't have come back so quickly!

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Li Xiao's eyes,

Nami quickly explained:

"On my way back to the village, I happened to run into the village chief, A-Jian, so I asked him to help inform everyone. I was worried that you were still here and might encounter some unexpected situation, so I ran back first!"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao nodded knowingly.

He then handed the Devil Fruit back to her.

"You'd better put your Devil Fruit away right now!"

(Correction of a previous error: Nami's village is Cocoyasi Village, not Cocoyasi Village! Sorry! I apologize!)

Chapter Twelve: Departure to G-16 Division! (First Update, Please Give Me Flowers)

Although the value of this Devil Fruit is greater than the entire Arlong Pirates combined.

But firstly, it's not of any use to me.

Secondly, there's no reason to take back what was given away before!

And to be honest

Regarding this Devil Fruit,

Li Xiao really found it cumbersome to even hold it!

Although he can now be considered a cultivator,

But there were no storage magic items!

The Spirit Gathering Pills obtained from system check-ins are alright.

It is relatively small in size.

You can put it in your pocket.

But these Devil Fruits are much bigger!

After all, he's not Nami.

There wasn't a single place on his body that could hold such a Devil Fruit.

It can only be held in your hand at all times!

anyway,

Fortunately, both the Azure Frost Sword and the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda are magical treasures that can be stored inside the body.

Otherwise, Li Xiao figured he'd end up with a pagoda in his left hand and a magic sword in his right wherever he went...

Looking at the Devil Fruit in front of him,

Nami instinctively wanted to refuse.

But alas, they couldn't resist the instincts etched into their DNA.

His hands stretched out almost uncontrollably.

He accepted the Devil Fruit.

Given Nami's personality,

Since I've already taken it,

Naturally, they will stop worrying about it.

So he turned to asking other questions.

"What are your plans to do with the Arlong Pirates?"

Nami knew it too.

Even if the dragon really died,

If the remaining members of the Arlong Pirates are not dealt with properly,
