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

Looking down,

The box was completely filled with oranges!

Actually, most of them are a bit stale.

It's obvious that Nami brought them all the way from Cocoyasi Village!

The other ten or so oranges were relatively fresh.

It must be the oranges that Nami grew on the ship!

Li Xiao glanced at it briefly.

They found at least forty or fifty oranges inside.

This is far more than "some" as Nami mentioned!

Li Xiao was holding the box in one hand.

Reach your other hand into the box.

I took out a not-so-fresh orange.

Peel the orange.

I broke off a segment of orange and put it in my mouth.

Nami brought this orange all the way from Cocoyasi Village to here.

After such a long time

Although it's not exactly fresh anymore,

But it was still incredibly sweet.

It was so sweet that Li Xiao couldn't help but smile!

From the time I traveled here until now,

Several months have passed!

Li Xiao traveled all the way from the East China Sea.

They left their footprints in many places.

His cultivation level rose from the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi to the peak stage of Refining Qi into Spirit!

Now they not only possess the ability to protect themselves,

His strength is at the very top of the One Piece world!

Along the way,

Li Xiao made many acquaintances.

Whether enemy or friend,

It also caused quite a stir.

It seems that they have completely integrated into this world!

however,

Actually,

As an outsider,

Li Xiao in this world

I've always felt somewhat out of place!

This is not his true home.

Li Xiao rode the clouds and mist above the sea.

Like a rootless duckweed, it drifts aimlessly.

Seemingly carefree,

In reality, he was lonely.

only,

From the very beginning, Li Xiao was determined to pursue the path of immortality through cultivation.

That's why you won't seem confused!

but,

Li Xiao ultimately lacked some of the ties that bound him to this world!

Despite meeting so many people,

But very few people are truly important to Li Xiao.

And Nami is the most important one among them!

As the first person Li Xiao encountered.

Nami holds extraordinary significance for Li Xiao.

Because that was his first real contact with the world!

In later life,

Li Xiao had more and more contact with Nami.

I'm growing to like this greedy little thief cat more and more!

It can be said that for Li Xiao,

Nami is a major pillar supporting his life in this world!

What made him even more gratified was...

In the heart of this little thief cat,

His importance seems to be growing!

When we parted ways at the Balati floating restaurant in the East China Sea,

Li Xiao mentioned it casually.

Unexpectedly, Nami actually brought the oranges from Cocoyasi Village all the way to the Grand Line!

Because they were afraid the oranges would spoil,

She even planted two more orange trees on the boat!

Li Xiao looked at Nami's expectant face in front of him.

I couldn't help but smile.

He put the entire box of oranges into his Sumeru Ring.

Then, using his free hand, he ruffled Nami's hair.

laughed:

"The oranges are very sweet!"

Hearing this,

Nami's face immediately lit up with a bright smile.

He chuckled rather foolishly.

Just at this time,

The sky suddenly darkened.

The once clear sky was now covered by patches of dark clouds.

Even on the calm sea, gusts of wind suddenly rose!

For a time,

I could feel a storm brewing!

see,

Li Xiao stuffed the last segment of orange in his hand into Nami's mouth.

Then he turned to the crowd and said:

"Hold on tight, the upwelling current is coming!"

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking

A huge current then gushed out from the seabed.

Soaring straight into the sky aboard the Going Merry!

Under the impact of this powerful upwelling current,

The Going Merry was teetering on the brink of collapse.

The entire ship was shaking violently!
