Chapter 140 / Chapter 141

Baccarat waved her hand, smiling sweetly, and said, "You can't say that. The main thing is, he really isn't interested in this."

"Don't even mention 300 million, even 3 billion wouldn't bother him."

Nami looked at Baccarat, a puzzled expression on her pretty face, and quickly asked, "Sister Baccarat, are there any Pirate with a bounty of 3 billion?"

Perona floated in the air, grinning, and said, "I know, I know..."

"Chris said that, let alone three billion, even a bounty of five billion is possible."

"That Whitebeard, the leader of the Four Emperors, only has a bounty of over 5 billion."

Kaya blinked her beautiful eyes, a look of admiration on her pretty face, and said softly, "That's amazing! Lord Chris is truly incredible."

Reiju stroked her delicate, white chin, speaking with poise and elegance, "You're already this famous before even entering the Grand Line."

"If they manage to breach the ocean, they'll probably upside down!"

"I think this time, Chris's name will definitely spread throughout the world and be remembered by everyone."

Belo Betty exhaled a puff of smoke and said casually, "Isn't this better?"

"The more people know Chris, the greater Chris influence becomes."

"This will definitely attract more and more new people to join our team."

"You have to understand, attacking a Non-Government Affiliated Nation in the New World is no easy task."

Honey Queen nodded in agreement, saying, "Didn't Chris say last time that in the New World, all the countries that don't join the World Government are extremely powerful?"

"Because they are too confident in their own strength, they don't need the protection of the World Government at all and can still establish themselves safely in the New World."

"This shows just how formidable these countries' military capabilities are."

Baccarat smoothed her Deep Red hair, smiled sweetly, and said, "That's why we've been gathering our staff and recruiting promising newcomers."

"Because in the New World, a fierce battle awaits us."

The women all nodded in agreement, showing their strong support for what Baccarat had said.

Then, having nothing else to do, they continued chatting about Chris's bounty...

(Hey everyone, this is a picture of Apis. She's from an anime, so I won't go into too much detail. She'll be very useful later, so I'll leave this as a cliffhanger for now. (￣￣).)

Chapter 140

One day later.

Inside the Training Room of the Chris.

"Lord Chris, I've swung my sword 50 times. I've completed the mission!"

Apis wiped the sweat from her brow, looked at Chris with her big eyes, and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "Lord Chris, I want to go out and find Pato and the others."

Chris brandished his Blood Red Saber, as calm as ever, and said, "Go."

Apis nodded twice, then hopped and skipped towards the door with a silvery laugh.

Desaya, her eyes covered by a black cloth, sat on the deck, tilting her head to the right. With a crisp thud, a small wooden stick gently tapped her head.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Desaya waved her hand, a look of fatigue appearing on her exquisitely fair face. She said with a wry smile, "Makino, let me rest for a bit. I'm a little tired."

Carina stood to the side, brandishing her sword. She blinked her beautiful eyes, a sly glint in them, and smiled as she spoke.

"You've only Cultivation for a short while, that's too Cultivation! Come on, keep Cultivation, don't rest."

Perona floated in the air, sipping her drink, and said with a grin, "You think everyone is Chris? How could anyone be so diligent?"

"Anyway, I have to stop and rest after Cultivation for a while; it's just too boring."

Nojiko the barbell high, smiled slightly and said, "None of us here are diligent in our Cultivation, and our mental state isn't very good."

Alvida stood with the large iron rod in front of her, hands on her hips, her stunningly beautiful face glistening with sweat, yet she remained as gentle, graceful, and captivating as ever.

"It's not that we didn't work hard; I feel like everyone was putting in a lot of effort."

"Of course, compared to Chris and the others, our Cultivation time is definitely not enough."

"However, as a woman, I can't compare to a man in this area, so let's just leave it at that."

Carmen nodded in agreement, saying, "Once everyone eats the Devil Fruit, their strength will increase, so we don't need to worry about that."

Honey Queen, wearing boxing gloves and hitting a punching bag, retorted, "Didn't Chris say that we shouldn't rely too much on Devil Fruit?"

"The world's top experts all possess extremely powerful Physical Arts, and at least have Two-Color Haki; this is a prerequisite."

"Although we may not be among the strongest, we still must learn Observation Haki and Armament Haki."

Belo Betty leaned back in her chair, took a drag of her cigarette, and said calmly as always, "We don't possess Conqueror's Haki, so we can't Cultivation it."

"But everyone really needs to learn Two-Color Haki. Then, when we eat Devil Fruit later, it will be twice as effective."

Mei Di brushed her light golden hair aside, a fine sheen of sweat appearing on her smooth forehead. She took a deep breath and said something with a sweet and charming smile.

"With a strongman like Chris around, as long as everyone doesn't become too lazy, learning to wield Haki is just a matter of time."

Nami rubbed her forehead, a helpless look on her pretty face, and said with a wry smile, "I feel like my talent is really too poor."

"I just can't seem to get a feel for the aura. I don't know when I'll ever learn Two-Color Haki. Sigh..."

Reiju sat in a chair, legs crossed, her beautiful eyes looking at Baccarat, and said with a gentle smile, "You're still the most amazing, your Cultivation speed is frighteningly fast."

Kaya stopped reading, a sweet and lovely smile blooming on her pretty face. "Sister Baccarat is a lucky goddess; everything she does goes smoothly."

"I really admire Baccarat for that, she's amazing!"

Baccarat smoothed her Deep Red hair and said with a smile, "Don't envy me. Everyone has their own strengths, so why belittle yourself?"

"Don't worry, Chris is extremely skilled at Cultivation Haki. He will definitely teach everyone and make us all top-notch experts."

Just then, an alarm sounded outside.

"Report..."

"Red Line discovered! We're about to enter the Grand Line! Red Line discovered..."

The sound was extremely loud and hysterical, echoing throughout the entire ship.

It's clear how excited the Lookout was; he undoubtedly used all his strength.

Upon hearing this, not only did the women stop their Cultivation, but even Chris, unusually, stopped as well.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Chris was always decisive; after saying that, he walked towards the door.

The women who were Cultivation quickly got to work, some wiping their sweat, others putting things away...

Nami was the most excited. She wiped her hands with a towel and said in a carefree manner, "Finally, we're entering the Grand Line! This is such a joyous occasion, haha~~"

Honey Queen shook her head, a look of deep emotion appearing on her flawless face. She sighed and uttered a few words.

"After sailing at sea for so long, we've finally gotten to this point. It's been such a difficult journey!"

Belo Betty glanced at her sideways and said calmly as always, "You joined later than me, so if we're talking about feelings, I definitely have more to say than you."

"But speaking of which, Sister Baccarat was the first to join. Back then, she was the only woman there."

"Now look at this, a huge bunch of women, too many to count."

Alvida, carrying the large iron bar, smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? To paraphrase Van Augur's motto, it's just fate!"

Makino nodded gently, her eyes crinkling into a Gentle smile. "Absolutely. Meeting Chris, meeting everyone, it really is fate."

"I heard from Sister Baccarat that Chris fell from the sky that day," Carina said, blinking her beautiful eyes and showing admiration on her pretty face.

"Then we went out to sea, quickly assembled a group of men, and continued to expand our forces until now."

"Thinking about it carefully, Chris had already decided on his direction before setting sail, and he knew that the most important step was to find Sister Baccarat."

Perona floated in the air, grinning, and said, "Of course, everyone knows how important Sister Baccarat is to this ship."

With graceful steps and a radiant smile, Mei Di, "Let's hurry up and get out of here. I really want to see what the Red Line is like."

"Mmm, I really want to see too, it must be amazing." Kaya nodded her little head, her smile sweet and warm.

Then, the women chatted and laughed, their voices ringing out, as they slowly walked towards the outer deck...

On the deck.

Burgess stood up, raised his arms, and roared with a crazed look, "Damn it, we've been sailing for so many days since the South Blue!"

"I'm finally entering the Grand Line today! Hahahaha..."

Doc Q looked at them, his smile still as unpleasant as ever. "Speaking of which, you're all newcomers. Burgess and I are the oldest crew members."

Gin glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully, "Have you forgotten the Ship's Rules? Might makes right!"

"This ship doesn't care about who arrived first or last. No matter how early you got here, it doesn't matter. Playing the emotional card won't work."

Luo nodded and said coolly, "Doing it this way is undoubtedly the best."

"There's no need to consider the crew's qualifications, or whether they're veterans or newcomers. Everything is based on ability, so there's no need to worry about anyone's feelings."

Hawkins, still lifeless, agreed, saying, "The Captain had foreseen this, thus avoiding a lot of trouble."

Kuro habitually adjusted his glasses, looking quite rational, and said something.

"This place is dangerous; we can't let our guard down."

"Many Pirate crashed into the Red Line before even entering the Grand Line, their ships destroyed and everyone on board perishing, their journey ending there."

Lafitte twirled his cane, smiled slightly, and said gentlemanly, "You're talking about others. As for us wanting to get in, that's easy."

"With Baccarat around, we're sure to be lucky and won't encounter any danger. Most importantly, the Captain is incredibly strong, so there's even less chance of problems."

Bartolomeo looked at the top of the Red Line, where dark clouds obscured the view, making it impossible to see the end.

He couldn't help but shake his head, exclaiming, "This is fucking too high! It's unbelievable!"

(Still only 11 people left to deduct 1. Looks like everyone's stopped using QQ, which is why it's so difficult. 9 more, just 9 more to go, sigh o(╥╥)o.) 10.

Chapter 141

Just then, footsteps approached, and Chris led a group of women, chatting and laughing as they walked towards them.

"Wow!!"

Carina raised her head, looking at the Red Line before her, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and a look of amazement appeared on her pretty face as she uttered a sentence.

"This is the Red Line. It really is all red. It's so amazing!"

Nami clenched her small hands, her face resolute, and declared firmly, "For a navigator, this is a place that must be conquered, and I can do it!"

Nojiko patted her shoulder and smiled gently, "No problem, Nami, you can definitely do it."

Alvida marveled and exclaimed, "There's no end in sight! It's completely blocked by dark clouds!"

"That height, at least a thousand meters, is terrifying."

Carmen nodded, shrugged, gave a wry smile, and said something.

"Most importantly, we'll be climbing higher and higher until we reach the very top before we start descending."

"When I first heard Chris say that, I couldn't believe it. Now I truly understand, so that's how it is."

At this moment, Burgess looked at Chris and laughed, saying, "Captain, are you so excited about entering the Grand Line that you don't want to Cultivation anymore?"

Doc Q, unusually, didn't court death. A serious expression appeared on his aged face. "This moment is incredibly sacred, and everyone should remember it."

Gin nodded, unusually agreeing with Doc Q, and added, "I believe that many years from now, when we look back on today, we will still remember it clearly."

In short, today is a day to remember!

Kuro pushed up his glasses with his palm and said rationally, "The entire Grand Line will become more cohesive because of our arrival."
