"Teacher, the meal is ready."

Marfrant Dick walked into the cabin with a hearty bowl of assorted fried rice, and Leo sat up from his bed to bring the long-awaited lunch...... No, it's dinner now. I hurriedly took a bite and thought it tasted good.

"Yo! Dick, you're pretty good at cooking, aren't you?! ”

Leo said with some surprise.

He can cook it himself, but he is too lazy to do it.

“…… Actually, I can only fry rice, as long as there is rice, there is no need to waste too much time with the ingredients, and it can be fried quickly, but ...... Teacher, your amount of food is a bit ......."

Dick went to sea early to become self-reliant, so he naturally knew some cooking, but as a man with a tendon brain, he was busy making money and fighting, so he didn't squeeze out time to study cooking at all, so he only learned assorted fried rice.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can eat it. Anyway, how do you call me a teacher? ”

"I think it's better to be a teacher, to show ...... Respect it. ”

"Oh...... Oops, whatever you want. ”

Leo was so hungry that he didn't talk to Dick anymore and began to eat heartily.

Dick nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Leo was satisfied, and then left the room and went to the dining room to eat his own dinner.

Leo looked at Dick's back, eating without delaying him in what he was thinking......

Overall, Marfrant Dick's quality is not bad. But if you really want Leo to teach, your eyes will be blackened...... Most of the time, it was just for Dick to carry the stick and beat it again and again, year after year.

However, it cannot be denied...... Leo's theory is unassailable.

It can be seen from the power of [One Flash].

In fact, it is not difficult to cultivate, become stronger or something, as long as you are willing to take the time - even if you are clumsy, you can only practice one-tenth of the time for people to learn ten moves, and you don't have to be discouraged.

There are only two kinds of cultivation in this world.

Those who are gifted with excellence pursue complexity.

Those who are gifted and clumsy pursue mastery.

You only need to continue to practice only one move, others spend half a month to practice, you spend half a year to master, others two months to master, you spend ten years to practice to the peak, no one surpasses.

In this way, you can get the power you want.

"Send this guy to Saibaan."

Leo muttered to himself as he chewed.

There was a shortage of combatants in Saibaan, and Dick had been able to share the pressure on that guy in the past.

After swallowing the fried rice, the boy looked at the fragrant food and thought about it for a long time...... He made a decision again.

"By the way, find this guy a Devil Fruit."

The most effective way to quickly increase your strength is to find a suitable Devil Fruit.

……

At seven o'clock the next morning, Leo arrived at the rumored ghost island of Tango.

But when Leo stepped out of the cabin and saw two other dilapidated sailboats nearby, he couldn't help but squint his eyes in surprise.

"Anyone else?"

"I guess it's a bounty hunter...... After all, it is impossible for everyone to be afraid of ghosts. ”

Dick explained to Leo that he was sensitive to the wind at sea, so he inquired a lot...... Bounty hunters who come to Ghost Tango Island should be the type of person who accepts investigation missions in order to obtain money, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make any dangerous moves.

"Yes...... Well, then you can stay on the boat and guard, and I'll go down alone. ”

Leo was a little worried about the situation on the island.

Because of Flovald, Leo was unusually hostile to bounty hunters. Coupled with his calculation of time, Perona was only seven or eight years old at this time, and if something happened, this trip would be in vain.

"Okay."

Dick followed orders honestly.

Leo jumped off the deck, his feet on the soft sand and heading inland.

Ghost Tango Island is not very large, and it looks ...... The diameter is only two or three kilometers, and there is only one town on the whole island, and there are a small number of fields inland, but they can only grow some vegetables and fruits, and they don't know what marketing this village and town relies on to make money.

However, Tango Island is very close to the other prosperous islands of Bastolona, so there is no shortage of jobs, which is the main reason why the islanders can move to other islands without hesitation after the ghost appears.

Leo continued to pac forward, "listening" vigilantly to the movements in the vicinity.

After passing through the fields, the boy walked into the streets of the town, where the houses on both sides had no obvious features, and were just simple civilian houses...... Leo stood in front of a wall, looking at the posters plastered on the wall with a slightly curious gaze.

"The new album of the most popular singer Victoria Sindory."

"A stage play by Victoria Sindory."

"Sindoli's recent rumored boyfriend, the object of the upcoming family marriage......"

Touching his chin, the boy tilted his head in thought.

When he used to read the manga, he didn't put much effort into this character, because the pirates are a world of power supremacy......

But for civilians, stars like Sindoli may be very popular, and the whole street is densely plastered with posters of this woman on the walls.

And...... Capone Becky named to rob this woman? Maybe it's just because of her appearance, or maybe it's some other conspiracy, in short, Leo has a general inference about this woman.

Stunning? Beautiful?

Kneading his nose bone helplessly, the young man looked a little tired and helpless.

He doesn't have much of an idea of women's looks, especially beautiful women.

Because......

Leo may be a bit face blind.

According to his empiricism, whether it is Victoria Sindory, or Boya Hancock, or Robin and Nami, or even Grammy, they are completely the same after shaving their hair and changing the color of their eyes.

So Leo couldn't see how beautiful Sindoli was.

He distinguishes women by the color of their hair and the color of their eyes.

But there are also some women with obvious characteristics, such as Robin's nose bridge, Perona's big eyes, and then ...... It's the height difference and the voice.

The best one to recognize is a fat woman like Yarrita.

But if the fat woman becomes a beauty, Leo still can't recognize it.

Shaking his head, his eyes continued to search the walls of the street, hoping for something else...... But soon, his eyes were drawn to a poster again.

However, this poster has nothing to do with Sindoli, because the photo is a man, not ...... It should be just a boy, about the same age as himself, and so is his height.

A child star in the West Sea? Teenage idols?

But...... Why does it look so familiar?

"The head of the TF Junior Idol Group?"

Leo's gaze continued to scan downward.

Before he could see the key place, the low voice of a mature man sounded in the alley beside him.

"His name is Cavendish Sh."

Leo stopped looking, knowing that someone would help him with an answer.

"TF Youth Idol Group is a newly established group in the Xihai entertainment industry recently, relying on good-looking teenagers to attract certain women, so as to achieve the purpose of performance growth and a lot of money...... Its head was a boy named Cavendish who was said to be a kendo genius. ”

After the man finished the introduction, he also walked out of the alley, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, leaned against the corner of the wall and looked at the sky, but in fact, he looked at Leo with his spare eyes and asked, "You are also a bounty hunter, and you are here for that ghost?" ”

"Nope." The corners of Leo's mouth curled into a ceremonial smile, and he replied as a matter of course: "I am a thief." ”

This became Leo's belief four years ago.

Not pirates, not bounty hunters, not revolutionaries, not navies, not civilians.

He's a thief.

Whoever dares to say that he is a pirate and a bounty hunter, Leo will cut them.

"Oh...... It's kind of funny, why did thieves come to Tango Island? There are no gold jewels here, and there are no secret treasures. ”

The uncle looked at Leo with interest.

He's seen thieves, and he's seen a lot of them...... There are also many self-proclaimed monster thieves on this sea, but most of them have no strength, and they are either caught or simply thieves. The mighty thieves have all gone to the Great Voyage, and who is still mixed in the barren Western Sea.

"I don't have any gold jewelry, but I do have the secret treasure I want."

Talent with potential is also a kind of treasure, Leo thought to himself.

"Really? Oh yes, you're a thief, how could you leak information to someone who doesn't have to do it, it's my fault. But in that case, our work is not a conflict, would you like to do me a favor? ”

The uncle, believing that he understood Leo's meaning, asked him. Without waiting for Leo to answer, he added his mouth.

"Of course, there is a fee."

The index finger rubbed against each other, and he made a gesture to Leo that everyone knew.

Leo was silent for a moment, then asked the necessary question.

"What would you do if you found the source of the ghost?"

I knew in my heart what the uncle wanted him to help with, but he felt that the thief had a strong ability to rummage through things, and hoped that Leo could help him find the reason for the ghost.

"Uh...... It depends on what the source is. ”

The uncle didn't make a decisive conclusion.

"What if it's an item?"

"Nature can't give it to you, wait...... Is the source of the ghost an item? Could this be the treasure you're looking for? ”

Ignoring the guy's rapidly changing face, Leo shook his head and continued to ask.

"If it's an item, of course I won't rob it from you, but what if it's a person?"

"It's a human ......," the uncle thought seriously for a second while smoking.

"Just kill it."

Leo narrowed his eyes.

"What if the man is a child?"

Speaking of this, the other party seemed to sense something, and stared at Leo with suspicion.

"Children have to be killed, it's a scourge, it's a monster."

"Monster...... ......"

Leo took a deep breath, now that he knew the position of the person in front of him, he didn't have to hesitate.

"You know the truth, don't you?"

The uncle guessed something from Leo's words, and walked towards him with sharp eyes, his right hand groping for the gun at his waist.

"It's not about you."

Leo didn't retreat, but slowly pulled out the [Qinghuang] on his waist.

"Zheng~"

The reflective blade was pulled out of the scabbard, passing faintly in the air, and then suddenly swung diagonally downward, the air was suddenly sliced apart, condensing a long-lasting trace of light.

This trick made the uncle stop, and his eyes were suspicious.

Leo's eyes were clear.

"It's not about the dead......
