Chapter 261 Differences in Concepts

“Smoker, I think you’re itching to get fucked. Do you want to practice with me? Hmm?”

Annina had sharp ears and eyes, so how could she not hear the whispers between Smoker and Lucas? So she turned around and threatened, raising her dark fist forward lightly.

Soon, Smoker raised his hands in surrender, lowered his head and admitted his mistake with Lucas.

There is nothing wrong with saying bad things about others behind their backs. Even good brothers have the strange habit of disliking each other, but the premise is that they don’t let the other party find out.

“What is this?”

Karas covered his stomach and slowly climbed up, looking at Annina’s fist with curiosity and awe. He was very interested in this power that could directly hit his elemental body.

He desperately wanted to obtain or even avoid this power.

He was deeply attracted by Mr. Long’s liberation speech and he wanted to immediately devote himself to the liberation and GM business and make a difference!

But his current strength is obviously not enough, and he can only rely on the elementalization of nature to commit crimes. Perhaps Mr. Long sent him here because he wanted him to understand that elementalization is not invincible?

He said that he was learning skills from a very powerful teacher. He should be able to learn this strange power and how to avoid it, right?

Karas licked his lips, his expression and features revealing anticipation.

“Not bad, your foundation is not bad, you recovered so quickly.”

Annina turned around and nodded in praise. Although she had used only half of her strength in this punch, it was still not something that an ordinary person could take. At least they would have to lie on the ground for a while. The blessing of Armament Haki was not as simple as one plus one being greater than two.

The name of the invisible armor is not undeserved!
Facing Karas’s question, Annina just raised her head proudly and said in a childish voice:

“Want to know? Call me sister and I can show you the true appearance of the ocean. How about that?”

“Sister Mona!”

Karas did not hesitate. He was not impressed by Mona’s personality, but by her fists and the opportunity to learn more!
But there was nothing to be ashamed of. He came from a poor family and had only been rescued by Mr. Long not long ago. He had been hiding in an uninhabited island with him and had no decent knowledge to learn.

Mr. Long is definitely a qualified leader, but he has no idea how to teach them knowledge. He only knows how to train their bodies. Even the other uncles and brothers who follow Long are the same.

Just like… a group of new soldiers who just came out of the military camp? All they can think about is training and being trained.

Born an orphan and a miner, Karas, who once took on the responsibility of a leader and fought against the nobles, understood very well what knowledge really meant.

Maybe the teachers here will teach him these sooner or later, but when a piece of bread is placed in front of a hungry person…it’s just a mere “sister”. A real man should serve the people and justice, so why not give it up?
Even if it was a little more excessive, Callas could totally accept it!
After learning this knowledge, perhaps he will be able to better help Mr. Long and complete the great GM and liberation cause when he returns!
“Emmm, sure. Although it’s a little unexpected, I’m not someone who goes back on my word.”

Annina’s expression was a little surprised, as if she had never thought that Karas would really… “surrender” so easily?
She thought he would be at least as tough as Smoker, and it would be a long and arduous journey to recruit him.

But it didn’t matter. She didn’t think the other person was weak or would easily fall to his knees.

The sea is like this. There is nothing shameful about the weak begging for mercy from the strong. It’s all about survival, no need to shiver!
What’s the point of being tough? As long as your faith is not crushed, all compromises are just a form of bearing humiliation!
Not far away, Smoker and Lucas also felt that there was nothing to say about it, and did not make any comment on Karas’s direct admission of defeat. They just planned to comfort this new buddy when they rested at night.

The former is because of experience. Which orphan who is begging for food outside is not like this? There are even more miserable ones than this, so they learned to steal and rob.

The latter are more exposed to gangster culture, and many of their concepts and opinions have already been formed – it is not shameful to beg for mercy when you are weak, the important thing is not to really think of yourself as a dog.

These simple and direct words contain truths that many people find difficult to understand.

Here, Karas stood up and walked to Annina and sat cross-legged, ready to listen quietly to the knowledge he had always longed for.

Mona nodded in appreciation, very satisfied with Karas’s actions, then slowly raised her hand and covered it with a layer of black substance and said:

“This is the pinnacle of the power of the sea taijutsu – Haki! What I possess…

Domineering is divided into three colors……

You have to remember that dominance is the embodiment of will, it is like…

Okay, let’s stop here for now. Come with us to dinner tonight and I’ll bring you something to see so you can get to know the sea again.”

After saying this, Annina clapped her hands and turned away.

Karas is a very good candidate for a younger brother. From his behavior, we can see that he is a good candidate to be a leader.

Besides, the opponent is not as tough as Smoker, so it should be quite easy to subdue him.

Annina plans to ask her father about the other party’s background later. If there is no problem, she plans to invest a little in her own name.

Although she is young, she has a lot of pocket money. Every year, the gifts and presents her eldest brother sends her are worth several million Baileys.

The training camp has no shortage of training equipment, high-energy food and medicine, but that is only for ordinary people. Geniuses have their own way.

I believe that after some investment, Karas will definitely become his most capable subordinate!
The rest time is always short, and soon everyone started training again.

——

At the same time, in the Grand Line New World, in the country of Wano, in a teahouse.

“What, you’re looking for a guy called Kurozumi Orochi?”

Ah He held a cup of hot tea in both hands, his mouth slightly opened in surprise. He glanced at the Jinmen guard beside him, only to see that the other’s face was full of anger.

“Well, what’s up? Is there anything special about this guy?”

Mona nodded and said, she noticed the change in Jinmenwei’s facial expression, and thought to herself that this matter was settled, it was estimated that this black charcoal snake was not a good thing at all.

“Clap!”

The teacup was slammed heavily on the tea table, and the guard at the gate said, “The black charcoal snake was originally just a descendant of a criminal, and was taken in as a servant by the kind-hearted eldest brother of the Kang family. But who would have thought that the snake was not only smart, but also very good at pleasing people, and had a plan in mind!

Originally, a guy like him who had no power and influence could not make any waves no matter what, until two of his ancestors appeared out of nowhere, with great strength, and directly settled the crime of that kid’s grandfather and restored his former status. “

“After Lord Oden left, his ambitions gradually became apparent. Lord Oden’s father suddenly became seriously ill for unknown reasons, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Relying on the two powerful old dogs, he recommended the eldest brother of the Kang family to be the new general, with a lot of bad intentions. If it weren’t for the eldest brother’s cleverness in only serving as an acting general, I’m afraid he would have fallen into the trap!”

After he finished speaking, the Jinmen guard picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot tea. He was not afraid of the heat and drank it as if it was tea instead of wine. In just two or three seconds, he had finished a cup of hot tea.

Mona became interested in this and said bluntly:
“Let me elaborate. This time we came to Wano Country to have fun and find two things. One of them happened to be on the body of the black charcoal snake. If he deserved to die, you would see three corpses lying at the door the next day.”

Mona just thought that this black charcoal snake was quite smart. Although he was so bad that almost everyone knew about it, no one dared to touch him directly. She was afraid that he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

But so what? The strongest man in Wano Country, Kozuki Oden, was defeated by Barrett. He was just a lucky guy who ate a mythical beast. The rarity of the fruit is not completely related to strength.

“Really, you two? But forget it. The two old dogs beside Kurozumi Orochi are extremely powerful. Even the eldest brother of the Kang family admits that he is no match for them…”

The Jinmen guard was not surprised by the news from the two people. Instead, he tried to dissuade them. This was because the invisible barrier of the Black Charcoal Cicada Granny was too powerful. It was not even afraid of the flying slash of the eldest brother of the Kang family!
You know, that was Shimotsuki Yasuie, who was praised as no less than Lord Oden when he was young!

He is also a genuine swordsman!
“Hey, if you want me to tell you a story, just tell it. Why are you being so fussy? Barrett is very powerful. If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t be saying this.”

Mona proudly patted Barrett’s shoulder, her face full of pride.

Seeing this, Jinmenwei stopped trying to persuade him. He could feel that Barrett was definitely stronger than himself. If he tried to persuade him any more, he would lose his manners and become a coward.

So he just slowly talked about all the information he already knew, and told them all at once.

“Oh, that’s it!”

“That’s amazing! The grandfather of this Kurozumi Snake is quite a character.”

“Tsk tsk, committing hara-kiri, it sounds so painful, it’s better to just slit your throat.”

“Collective punishment? It seems that the nobles of Wano Country are not the same as the traditional nobles of the sea. They are more similar to the nobles of Flower Capital.”

Mona commented as she listened, eating melons is always the greatest hobby of human beings.

In the time it took to drink two pots of tea, she listened to the life story of the Black Charcoal Snake in its entirety. After the Jinmen Guard had finished his narration, she slowly put down her teacup, crawled into Barrett’s arms and lay down, then said:
“It seems that what the black charcoal snake did was not a bad thing. He just wanted revenge. Although the fact that he harmed civilians is enough for us to give him a decent treatment.”

“But that is a crime of stealing a country! Ms. Mona, this is unforgivable!”

Jinmenwei argued loudly, totally disagreeing with Mona’s point of view. Kurozumi Orochi was making the same mistake as his grandfather, which was an unforgivable crime of stealing the country!
“But isn’t this also because of your broken rules? He was only a few years old at that time, and he was like a criminal at an age when he didn’t know anything. If anyone had the chance, wouldn’t they want to take revenge on you?

To be honest, I suddenly don’t want to kill the black charcoal snake so early. Give him a warning and let him have some fun with you. His current life experience will definitely sell well in the sea!”

Mona said with a smile, completely ignoring the angry expression of the Jinmen guard. If Ah He hadn’t held him back, he would definitely have said a lot of harsh words.

Through the story of Kurozumi Orochi, she discovered that the nobles in the entire Wano Country were not good people. She just didn’t know whether Kuri’s current prosperity was really created by that guy Oden.

Barrett beside him was silent. For a moment, he suddenly didn’t want to kill the Black Charcoal Snake anymore. It didn’t matter if he didn’t have the mythical beast species.

In the eyes of the daimyos of Wano Country, today’s Kurozumi Orochi and his grandfather are both unforgivable evildoers.

But based on the information currently available, the real villain is actually Kurozumi Orochi’s grandfather, and he himself is just a radical and smart avenger.

If his targets were only these daimyo nobles, Barrett would have turned around and left without saying a word.

But he happened to move something he shouldn’t have moved…there’s nothing we can do about it.

However, as Mona said, we can give him a warning first so that he can concentrate on dealing with the local daimyos and not to use any tactics to put pressure on the civilians.

It won’t be too late to take his life after Kurozumi Orochi has taken revenge or failed. In the meantime, it won’t be a waste of time to look for the whereabouts of another mythical beast species.

Of course, Barrett will definitely focus on Mona. It doesn’t matter to him whether to kill her now or later. He will just act according to Mona’s mood.

On the opposite side, the Jinmen guards felt for the first time that they were being too nosy, since the other party clearly wanted to help them get rid of the bandit leader or reduce their forces.

But after hearing the whole story, he changed his mind.

His original intention was to deepen the sins of the Heitan clan. In the eyes of the locals, their deeds fully met the criteria of “sin”.

But I didn’t expect…

With his fists clenched, the Jinmen guard stood up without saying a word, looked at the two people he had just met with some confusion, then turned and left.

Ah He still knelt in the same place, and did not choose to leave with his Xiao Jin. He just bowed to apologize to Mona and the others:

“I’m sorry, but Xiao Jin is a samurai retainer and takes this kind of thing a little more radically than others.”

“It’s okay, I understand. If someone says something bad about Barrett in front of me, I might give him two bombs as a greeting~”

Mona said softly, she completely understood the Jinmen guard’s feelings at the moment, she continued:

“But I really want to see what this guy will do after being threatened. Will he fight to the death? Or will he fight to the death with the local daimyo?”

If it weren’t for Oden’s sake, she would have planned to let Barrett carry out a major purge of Wano Country. According to the system here, there are probably a lot of shameful things hidden within each daimyo family.

Queen Mona is kind-hearted and cannot stand these dirty things.
