Starting from When He Refused Red-Hair's Invitation Chapter 37

Losing the control of the demon sword, the man rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

Lin Mo took Sandai Kitetsu into his hand and glanced at it casually. Just as he was about to toss it aside casually, the system notification sound rang in his head once more.

Beep! Obtained the demon sword Sandai Kitetsu, check-in progress +10%.

Beep! Loguetown check-in mission complete. Congratulations to the host for unlocking Shave, Kami-e, and being rewarded with Proficient-level Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.

Shave is a skill among the Six Powers where the user makes explosive reactionary force by rapidly kicking the ground dozens of times in an instant to move at high speeds.

Kami-e is a defensive technique among the Six Powers, a skill where the user relaxes their whole body and controls it as easily as drawing on a sheet of paper.

Now, all the skills of the Six Powers were unlocked.

Although he had the Flash Step skill, the presence of Shave was weakened quite a bit.

Yet when the two skills were used in superposition, the power that could be erupted would increase exponentially.

He glanced at the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand.

Lin Mo truly did not expect that this final progress would actually lie in this demon sword.

It seemed this sword would stay with him for some time.

He smiled.

Lin Mo looked at the comb-haired fellow who was still in a dazed state and asked, "Where is the scabbard for Sandai Kitetsu?"

The comb-haired fellow snapped back to his senses abruptly and hurriedly said, "Right nearby, I'll go get it right away!"

As he spoke, the comb-haired fellow hurriedly ran toward the alley next to them.

Lin Mo opened his status panel.

Staring at the name of the next check-in location.

The first thing that came to Lin Mo's mind was Chopper, the little reindeer who ate the Human-Human Fruit.

Chopper was the ship doctor on Luffy's future ship, a very cute, fluffy little fellow who would get super shy whenever he was praised.

Calculated by the current timeline, Chopper should only be around five years old, and hadn't yet met Hiriluk who taught him medical science.

Lin Mo was thinking.

The comb-haired fellow came back carrying the scabbard of Sandai Kitetsu.

Lin Mo closed the status panel.

He took the scabbard handed over by the comb-haired fellow, sheathed Sandai Kitetsu, and then directly hung both Kitetsu and Toyako on his waist together.

The comb-haired fellow was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Are you planning to use this demon sword yourself?"

Lin Mo let out a casual hm, then turned around and continued walking toward the tavern.

The comb-haired fellow paused in place, gazing at Lin Mo's back. Just like before, the more he looked, the more excited and thrilled he became: Ah! Did I really misunderstand you? To keep others from being controlled by this demon sword again, you actually took this sword upon yourself with a spirit of self-sacrifice. Lin Mo, you really are a fellow who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. You truly live up to being someone I've set my sights on!

Returning to the tavern.

Seeing that Rayleigh did not come back with him, the tavern owner asked with surprise, "Where is Mr. Rayleigh? Don't tell me he went gambling again?"

Lin Mo said calmly, "He left."

"Ah?" The hand the tavern owner was using to wipe the cup couldn't help but pause. "How did he leave without even saying anything? Sigh, seriously, I thought he would wait until today passed before leaving."

Lin Mo looked at him calmly and spoke, "I'm leaving too."

"Huh?" The tavern owner couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Lin Mo continued, "Give me all the wine in the storehouse."

"Ah?" The tavern owner exclaimed, "There are over a thousand bottles of wine in the storehouse. Can you carry all that by yourself?"

Lin Mo nodded.

Hesitating for a moment, the tavern owner didn't think much further and nodded. "Alright, since you want it, take it. Do you need my help?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

Tavern Owner: "Then when are you planning to leave?"

"Depends on the situation."

"Alright, then before you leave, let me treat you to a meal."

Lin Mo nodded.

The tavern owner put down the cup in his hand and walked out from behind the counter: "Then wait for me in the tavern for a bit, I'll go out and buy some side dishes to go with the wine."

Lin Mo nodded once more.

After watching the tavern owner go out, he walked straight into the wine storehouse storage behind the wine cabinet, and directly loaded all the wine inside into his system space.

After coming out, he also swept away all the wine on the wine cabinet, and then directly left the tavern.

Lin Mo could understand the intent behind why Rayleigh left without a word.

Some partings should not be dragged out in a sloppy manner.

He had the same plan.

Therefore, after taking all the wine in the tavern, he purchased a small wooden boat anew at the port and sailed straight toward his next destination.

Baratie's procurement ship had been blown up together with the port in the earlier explosion.

Bartolomeo the comb-haired fellow had been following Lin Mo all along.

Seeing Lin Mo set sail and leave, he panicked and hurriedly chased all the way to the port, shouting at Lin Mo: "Lin Mo, are you just going to leave like this? I still have so many things I want to tell you! Don't leave, can't you come back?"

Lin Mo did not look back, raising a hand to wave.

The comb-haired fellow was feeling sorrowful.

One of his underlings ran over holding a wooden box: "Boss, I found a good thing, it's a Devil Fruit!"

Roger's Tavern.

When the tavern owner returned, Lin Mo had already left.

Staring at the empty wine cabinet that had been completely cleaned out, the tavern owner froze, the bag of food he was holding in his hand slipping and falling to the ground.

"No way, that kid left too?"

The tavern owner hurriedly ran to the storehouse behind the wine cabinet and opened the door. Sure enough, all the wine in the storehouse had vanished.

Staring at the one million Beli Lin Mo left behind in the storehouse, the tavern owner's feelings at this moment were a swirling mix of emotions.

Drum Island: Riotous Town

The seas of the Pirate King world are composed of the Grand Line and the four seas—east, south, west, and north—divided by the Red Line.

The Grand Line is a ring-shaped sea area intersecting the Red Line perpendicularly, and it is the most wondrous and dangerous sea route in the world.

As for Lin Mo's next check-in location, Drum Island, it was situated right on the Grand Line.

If people from the four seas wanted to enter the Grand Line, apart from going through Reverse Mountain, they could only do so by crossing the Calm Belt.

Reverse Mountain, also known as Reverse Mountain, has a total of five waterways on the mountain in an X shape, with four currents entering and one exiting.

Among them, the currents of four waterways go straight up to the peak. These four waterways respectively connect to the four different sea areas of East Blue, South Blue, West Blue, and North Blue, and finally merge into the Grand Line via a backtracking waterway.

Because the currents in Reverse Mountain's waterways are extremely torrential, many ships would be smashed to pieces before passing through the waterways. Even with good luck and reaching the peak of Reverse Mountain, it was very easy to lose control of the direction, fly right off the mountain peak before entering the waterway flowing into the Grand Line, and then plummet and be destroyed.

In short, taking this water route via Reverse Mountain was quite dangerous.

As for the small boat Lin Mo was sitting in, it was impossible to pass safely through Reverse Mountain.

Thus, he could only enter the Grand Line by traversing the Calm Belt.

The Calm Belt is a completely tranquil sea area with neither wind nor ocean currents.

Once a sailing ship enters the Calm Belt, it loses power and becomes trapped, and the Calm Belt is also the habitat of a massive number of Giant Sea Kings.

Therefore, when Lin Mo left Loguetown, he specifically purchased a small wooden boat without sails, which could rely purely on double oars for rowing.

According to the direction guided by the system navigation.

Lin Mo sailed in East Blue for three days before entering the Calm Belt. As soon as he entered, two large Sea Kings attempted to attack him.

In order not to waste time, Lin Mo glared at them for a second, using Conqueror's Haki alone to instantly dissuade and drive away all the Sea Kings attempting to attack him.

After sailing in the Calm Belt for nearly five days, he finally entered the Grand Line.

At first it was still clear skies and ten thousand miles of sunshine, but in the blink of an eye, a massive dark cloud drifted over the sky, and instantly lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and a torrential downpour began.

The weather in the Grand Line was precisely like this, completely impossible to judge by conventional logic.

Moreover, the ocean currents were chaotic. Even when sailing completely straight ahead, one would always end up deviating from the course before they even noticed.

Even with the guidance of the system navigation, as long as Lin Mo paid the slightest bit of attention, he would go off course.

After tossing and turning and sailing in the Grand Line for nearly a month, finally, just as Lin Mo's wine was about to run out, he spotted a winter island with several mountain peaks shaped like drums.

The closer they got, the lower the surrounding temperature dropped.

Lin Mo immediately took out the winter clothing he had prepared long ago from his system space and put it on.

The small wooden boat slowly approached Drum Island along with the ocean current.

Simultaneously, within Drum Island, quite a few ships of all sizes were rapidly sailing outward.

As he brushed past several of those ships, Lin Mo clearly saw many people on board shedding tears of frustration.

Most of them were wearing white protective suits exclusive to doctors.

In Lin Mo's impression.

At this point in time, Drum Island should still be a famous medical superpower.

Afterward, due to the tyranny of the ruler Wapol, all the doctors on the island were hunted down and exiled, leaving only twenty doctors for his own use.

And then, the former medical superpower slowly declined.

Judging by the current situation.

It seemed he happened to catch up with the extraordinary period where Wapol started exiling and hunting down the island's doctors.

"Look, there's a child."

"How could there be a child sailing alone on the Grand Line? Did he run into a shipwreck?"

"Kid, the Kingdom of Drum is already beyond saving, don't go. Quick, get on our ship and leave with us!"

On the deck of the large ship closest to Lin Mo, many citizens who had escaped from Drum Island were standing there.

They were all looking at Lin Mo with deep concern.

Lin Mo shook his head indifferently and said, "No, thank you."

After speaking, he controlled the small wooden boat and continued to sail forward.

Even though there were countless more voices of discouragement behind him, Lin Mo turned a deaf ear to all of them and paid them no mind.

Soon, his ship stopped at the shore of Drum Island.

When he jumped from the boat onto the snow-covered shore of Drum Island.

In his mind, the system's notification sound rang out.

Beep! Congratulations to the host for successfully arriving at the check-in location Drum Island, check-in progress +10%, current total progress is 10%, rewarded with Beginner-level Mystical Palm Technique.
