Start With Blackbeard, Only I Know Grand Line

"Nuo Qigao, I'm sorry I didn't entrust you with the power of Devil Fruit and Haki earlier."

"Instead, let Carina master the Haki and fruit abilities first."

After Nuo Qigao turned around and leaned against the wall, Li Fan put his head on Nuo Qigao's shoulder and said with a little apology.

"It's okay, Li Fan.

"I know you have your own thoughts."

"As long as it is the best way for you, I will support it.

Nuo Qigao said softly with a rosy face.

"Thank you, Nuoqi Gao."

"Don't worry, I will find you a better Devil Fruit in the future.

"It will also allow you to gain enough physical strength to exert the power of this Devil Fruit."

Li Fan brushed Nuo Qigao's hair with his hand, and said.

"Well, I trust you, Captain Li Fan."

Feeling Li Fan's concern, Nuo Qigao felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

"Speaking of which, Captain Li Fan, I once heard Nami mention a girl named Carina.

"Since just now, I have been observing the Carina you said you invited."

"She seems to be very similar to the girl Nami mentioned.

Nuo Qigao suddenly raised her head and said to Li Fan.

"Really, it's not as good as Nuo Qigao, please tell me about him slowly.

"By the way, let's have a good chat too. It just so happens that it's quite quiet here."

Li Fan said with a smile on his face.

On the other side, in the aisle of the cabin of the Black Pearl.

Carina tasted "Two Nine Zero" to try her own power, while thinking about the power displayed by Li Fan.

‘Observation Haki, can you conduct a wide-ranging investigation?

'Sure enough, it is really difficult to leave this pirate group. '

'However... Li Fan's power to make partners stronger quickly...

"Maybe I can stay by his side first, wait until I am strong enough, and choose to leave?"

'Looking at Li Fan's appearance, he probably likes beautiful girls. '

'No wonder he wanted to invite that girl Ayane before, and he must have taken a fancy to her too.

'At that time, as long as I give him two more kisses, he shouldn't blame me... Hehe, it's impossible, he will definitely be angry.

Carina shook her head, unknowingly she had come to the restaurant.

"Carina, you're back, are you okay?"

Seeing Carina's return, Abis ran over immediately.

"Don't worry, Abis, I'm fine now, better than ever. 1"

"I will take good care of Abis in the future."

Carina touched Abis's small head, and said anxiously.

Then, she approached Abis' ear and whispered:

"By the way, you have to let me meet the Dragon Lord you mentioned later."

"I'm very curious about the legend of the Millennium Dragon."

On the one hand, Carina really cares about Apis.

On the other hand, she also wants to see if she can pass the dragon bone used by the thousand soldiers in the legend of Abis.

"Well, take it easy, Carina."

Abis laughed happily when she heard Carina's words.

"Sorry, Carina, because of me, you were targeted by that man Li Fan."

"Please rest assured, after the matter is over, I will ask Li Fan to let you leave the Pirates safely.

At this time, Tashigi stepped forward and apologized to Carina.

Unbeknownst to Tashigi, Carina is a long-time thief who has been cheating in East Blue for many years.

At this moment, she only thinks that Carina is an ordinary civilian like Abis.

They just happen to be involved in Admiral Marine Nelson's conspiracy.

"That, it doesn't matter, Tashigi."

"At least we're saved now, aren't we?"

"Although Li Fan asked me to join her pirate team, she also promised to help us."

"Get help, pay the price. From this point of view, what Li Fan is asking for is not too much."

Carina smiled and patted Tashigi on the shoulder.

Carina still has a good impression of Miss Marine who stood up when she and Abis were in danger, and confronted Marine soldiers after learning about the incident.

In addition, just from the powerful power obtained from Fan here.

It also made Carina have no complaints about temporarily joining the Black Pearl Pirates.

Of course, this does not mean that she has no intention of leaving.

"But Miss Carina, you are obviously a commoner, but now you are forced to become a pirate."

"If you follow Li Fan all the time, you will definitely be wanted."

"He only fought against Vice Admiral Garp not long ago."

"His latest reward will definitely not be low."

"Although the rewards for Li Fan and other pirates of the Black Pearl Pirates have not yet been released.

"But the latest bounty must have been distributed all over the world through Newsbird."

"It's only a matter of time before we know of his reward."

"And the crew members who follow him will definitely receive considerable attention."

"Miss Carina, if Marine finds out about your existence, you won't be able to return to your normal life from now on."

Tashigi put his hands on Carina's shoulders and said anxiously.

"That's right, haha."

Carina smiled mischievously at the excited Tashigi.

Even if she is not wanted by Marine, she is not living an ordinary life.

Of course, she wouldn't say that to Tashigi who is Marine.

Tashigi, let me figure this out. "

"Your identity is a bit sensitive on this ship."

"Also, you have no way to make Li Fan give up mine."

Carina shook her head and said.

Although I don't know how Li Fan did it, but making her stronger must have cost Li Fan something.

Under such circumstances, Carina doesn't think that Tashigi can use words to make Li Fan give up on herself.

Tashigi pursed his lips, and after holding his breath, he blushed and said the solution that he had thought for a long time.

"That person Li Fan invited Ms. Carina, he must have taken a fancy to Ms. Carina's beauty."

"Although it's a bit self-proclaimed to say so, I'm also a woman, so I shouldn't be too bad.

"I can trade myself for your freedom, Miss Carina."

Tashigi put his hand on his heart with a very serious expression.

Although Hina did not tell Smoker what happened to him, nor did he write it in the report to Marine.

But she also said that Li Fan is a man who is quite interested in beautiful women and has a certain desire to play tricks on others.

In addition, the reason why Li Fan invited Carina earlier was that he fell in love with her.

Tashigi is more sure about Hina's evaluation of Li Fan.

Having said that, Tashigi still had a big blush when he said this.

"Tashigi, you are Marine, so you are betraying Marine."

"And... your situation..."

Carina was moved and glanced at Inskan who cared about herself and even planned to give up the Marine position for herself.

But looking at Tashigi's simple attire, Carina felt that Li Fan might not be able to like Tashigi.

It's not that Carina thinks Tashigi is not beautiful enough, it's just that Carina has considerable confidence in her appearance.

Even excluding the resources Li Fan invested in herself, Carina doesn't think Li Fan would be willing to give up herself to recruit Tashigi.

Of course, Carina's judgment is only her own.

If Li Fan were to judge by herself, Li Fan would think that Tashigi's potential is astonishing, and she will not lose to Carina in her two years of development.

Maybe even better than Carina in terms of heart.

"Carina, what do you want to say?"

Tashigi looked at Carina who was hesitant to speak in front of him, and tilted his head with some doubts.

"She means you're not as attractive as she is."

"Maybe it doesn't make Li Fan interested enough in you."

Ayane took a step forward, walked to Tashigi's side, and said coldly to Tashigi...

"What... what?! No charm?!"

Tashigi looked at Ayane in surprise.

"Sister Carina is more fashionable."

"This cool big sister is also very powerful."

"Sister Tashigi's words... there is nothing wrong with being simple."

Abis pouted, tilted his head and said suddenly.

"what?!"

Tashigi's eyes widened in surprise.

If Ayane's words didn't make her feel too much emotional fluctuations.

But the words of a little girl like Abis forced her to start evaluating herself again.

'Simplicity, isn't that earth?'

'Am I really dressed so badly?!

Tashigi's usual sluggish front, the color of the whole person seems to have paled a lot.

"Marine, if possible, could I trouble you to go to the deck first?"

"I have some personal matters to discuss with this Miss Carina."

Ayane said to Tashigi calmly.

"Okay........okay."

Tashigi nodded involuntarily, walked towards the deck staggeringly as if losing strength, and disappeared into the dining room.

"It looks like Ms. Tashigi has been hit hard."

"Speaking of which, you don't have to do this."

"Tashigi's condition is still good, but he doesn't seem to be very good at dressing up."

Carina shook her head, then turned to look at Ayane.

"I'm just telling the truth, her dress is indeed too rustic."

"Besides that Nuo Qigao, beside Li Fan, there are several beautiful women."

"Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for her to have the opportunity to replace you with her own charm."

Ayane shook her head and said.

"Are there any other beautiful women? As expected of Captain Li Fan, it's exactly what I thought.

"By the way, are they as attractive as Ms. Ayane?"

Carina asked curiously.

"My situation is different, please don't compare me."

"Also, you...became very strong, that man Li Fan helped you gain great strength, right?"

At this time, Ayane suddenly changed her tone, and there was a hint of chill in her words.

After finishing speaking, Ayane also took a good look at the pirate tattoo on Carina's arm.

"So you know."

"Speaking of which, Li Fan also invited you, why didn't you join him?"

"You know his power to make others stronger. 1.3

Carina turned her head and looked at Ayane curiously.

"I'm not like you, I have my situation."

"Well, by the way, you are very strong, can you do me a favor, Aya

Miss Yin. '

"What do you want me to do?"

"Hee hee, you also know that I got power from Li Fan, so I want you to help me familiarize myself with this power. I wanted to find Li Fan and Nuo Qigao, but they

Seems like there are some personal things to attend to.

"So that's the case, do you want to compete. That's fine, I agree."

Ayane nodded and spoke.

In Ayane's perception, Carina's breath before and after following Li Fan's departure can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

She sent Tashigi away to try Carina's power, so that she can learn more about Li Fan through Carina.

She wants to see how much Li Fan can help a new crew member become stronger at once.

Therefore, at this moment, Ayane would naturally not refuse Carina's proposal.

"Great, let's find a place to start then.

Carina said happily.

"No, just stay here. Just in time, that Marine also left."

As she spoke, Ayane revealed her Short Sword and was about to stab Carina. .

"It turned out that you were already ready to practice duel with me, so you sent Tashigi away... Hey, wait, why did you start!"

Carina opened her eyes wide, and instinctively used Armament Haki to grab Ayane's Short Sword.
