In a certain sea area of the Eastern Sea, Qin Ming and the others were on the Golden Merryship, planning to head to the great sea route.
When Qin Ming and the others set sail from Xiluobu Village, they even raised their glasses and drank for the sake of the newly joined Wusopu and this new ship.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye after leaving West Luo Bu Village.
Qin Ming was fiddling with the fishing rod and accessories that Keya had given him.
Yesterday, when Sauron and Wusopu learned that Qin Ming called the freely retracting fishing rod the Ruyi Jingu Staff, their reactions almost made Qin Ming go crazy.
"Do you know what color my hair is?”
Sauron looked at the silver fishing rod in Qin Ming's hand and asked with a serious face.
"Do you think I'm an idiot, you green hair!”
Qin Ming saw that Sauron treated him as a person who couldn't even tell his color, so he couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you want to learn to lie like me, you can't do this. It's obvious at a glance.”
Wusopu waved his index finger at Qin Ming with a smug expression and continued,"It took me decades to master this unparalleled deception. People call me the great Captain Usopp. Compared to me, you're still too inexperienced.”
Unfortunately, before Usopp could finish boasting, Qin Ming turned around and left with a black face. He felt that talking nonsense with these two people was simply a waste of his time.
"Hey, listen to me.”
Wu Suo Pu was originally very happy to boast, but in the blink of an eye, Qin Ming and Zoro left, leaving him alone in the same place.
When he checked the fishing rod's parts, Qin Ming found that there was another fishing rod in the bag that was exactly the same.
In this case, Qin Ming had two fishing rods that could extend and retract freely. What surprised him was that the two fishing rods could actually be combined.
At first, Qin Ming thought that the extra fishing rod was a spare, but now it seemed that it wasn't.
Qin Ming placed the ten accessories together and looked at them one by one. His attention was quickly attracted by two watch-like things.
That night, Qin Ming found Usopp and talked to him for a long time before handing him the two fishing rods and accessories.
A few more days passed peacefully. In these days, Qin Ming's sprained right foot had almost recovered. He began to train like before.
Squatting on the boat, he did more than 1,000 frog jumps, followed by more than 700 push-ups with one hand upside down. He practiced with his left and right hands, and in the end, he almost had a cramp in his hand. He lay weakly on the boat, and in the end, Nami had to feed him with a straight face.
Luffy wanted to help Qin Ming, but Qin Ming rejected him. He had been tricked by Luffy before. Luffy would only take a lot of food and stuff it into his mouth. He was already lucky that he didn't choke to death. How could he bother the captain?
After Qin Ming was full, Nami smiled and reached out her hand to him,""Please pay 100,000 Bailey."
"I know you don't have money."
Nami took out a small notebook under Qin Ming's stunned gaze and wrote down what she had done for him today and how much he owed her.
Qin Ming stole a glance at the small notebook in Nami's hand and saw that it was filled with a lot of things. Most of them were records of what Qin Ming had done and owed her money.
Today, after Qin Ming finished his training, he passed by me. The smell of sweat on his body made me smell. I marked him as 500,000 Berris.
When I was sleeping at night, Qin Ming's loud snoring woke me up. I charged him 700,000 Berri.
In the morning, Luffy and I had a small argument about the route. Qin Ming didn't speak up for me and charged him 300,000 Berris.
I wanted to take a good bath and ask Usopp to boil some water for me, but he was busy with other things. Qin Ming happened to walk over, but he only greeted me and went to rest. This idiot, I'll charge him one million Berries.
At noon, I had something to do. I wanted Sauron to help me look after the direction of the ship, but he said he wanted to practice swordsmanship. Luffy wasn't suitable for this, and Usopp was busy, so I had to look for Qin Ming. However, I circled around the ship and found that he was actually doing special training with Sauron. He was a super idiot, so I charged him two million Berries.
Qin Ming was completely dumbfounded when he saw that the little notebook in Nami's hand was filled with these things. It turned out that he had unknowingly owed Nami so much money.
"Why are you spying on my privacy, you idiot!”
Nami saw that Qin Ming seemed to have seen what was written in her little notebook. Her face blushed and then she raised her iron fist and punched Qin Ming.
F * ck, are you crazy? You have the face to write, but you're afraid of being seen?
Looking at Nami's graceful back view, Qin Ming thought in confusion.
Soon, two days passed. This day was a very memorable day for Qin Ming and the others because their ship finally had an official pirate flag.
"Everyone, come and take a look. This is the pirate flag I drew. From now on, it will be the symbol of our gang.”
Luffy showed Qin Ming and the others the pirate flag that he had just made and smiled proudly,""This is a symbol that I thought of for a long time. Are you satisfied?”
Qin Ming looked at the pirate flag in Luffy's hand. There was a picture of a skeleton wearing a straw hat on it. The skeleton's empty eyes were big and small, and its head was crooked. Its teeth were also extremely uneven. At first glance, it looked like a deformed freak, extremely ugly.
"What are you doing?"
Nami saw Qin Ming looking at the pirate flag in Luffy's hand and then looking for a piece of cloth, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"With that prominent pirate flag as a symbol, I'd better cover my face as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing myself.”
Qin Ming covered his face with a cloth and said.
"What you said is too rude, but thinking about it, it's really quite terrifying. I'm referring to his painting talent.”
Nami lightly punched Qin Ming's face and looked at the pirate flag in Luffy's hand. She pondered for a while before saying.
"Indeed, that guy has no talent in painting at all. Perhaps I should find a piece of cloth to cover my face.”
Usopp stared blankly at the pirate flag in Luffy's hand, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.
"The pirate flag should be a symbol of death, but in a sense, the pirate flag he drew does make people afraid.”
Sauron crossed his arms in front of his chest, black lines already appearing on his forehead.
"What kind of reaction is that? I spent a lot of effort to draw this.”
When Luffy heard what Qin Ming and the others said, he was immediately unhappy and said to Qin Ming,""You said that my pirate flag is embarrassing, so why don't you draw one?”
"How can such a thing be difficult for me?”
Qin Ming was full of confidence. In the past, he had learned how to sketch for a few days. Wasn't it easy to draw a pirate flag?
A few minutes later, Qin Ming showed Luffy and the others the pirate flag that he had just drawn."See? This is true art.”
There was a moment of silence. Everyone looked at the pirate flag in Qin Ming's hand and did not make a sound.
"You really finished drawing the pirate flag?”
Nami asked Qin Ming suspiciously.
"Of course, didn't you see?"
Qin Ming said unhappily when he saw Nami questioning him.
"Isn't your pirate flag pitch-black with nothing?”
Usopp rubbed his eyes and looked at the pirate flag a few more times before asking Qin Ming.
"Are you joking with us?”
Sauron said to Qin Ming suspiciously.
"Where is the skull symbol you drew?”
Luffy took the black pirate flag from Qin Ming's hand and looked at it, but he couldn't find anything.
"Your eyesight is really bad. Isn't the symbol of the pirate skeleton here?”
Qin Ming's face darkened as he spread out the pirate flag and pointed at the upper left corner.
Looking in the direction Qin Ming was pointing, he finally realized that there really seemed to be something drawn on the upper left corner of the pirate flag. However, it was a little small and difficult to see clearly.
"It's true. So you drew such an exquisite straw hat skull here.”
Usopp put on his sniper goggles and finally saw the straw hat skull symbol on the upper left corner of the pirate flag. It was only the size of an index finger. It was really drawn neatly.
"Your drawing is not bad, but what's the use of it being so small?”
Nami lowered her head and looked at the straw-hat skull on the upper left corner of the pirate flag. She felt that if she magnified the straw-hat skull dozens of times, it would be perfect.
"Uh…"
Qin Ming was embarrassed. He tried to draw a bigger one, but it didn't work. The bigger the straw hat skeleton was, the easier it would change shape. Finally, it shrank to the size of an index finger. He was finally satisfied. He even specially found the pen that Nami used to draw sea maps to color it, but the effect wasn't very good.
"To think that you still dare to say that my painting is not good. Isn't yours worse than mine?”
Luffy rubbed his chin and said to Qin Ming. At least he could let others see his drawing.
"The one you drew is so ugly. How can it compare to mine?”
Qin Ming really felt that Luffy's pirate flag was ugly, so he bluntly said it.
"You're so stupid. Who would have such a small pirate flag?”
"You're the stupid one. Who would draw such an ugly pirate flag like you?”
Luffy and Qin Ming started quarreling, and then they started fighting.
"You two are really unreliable. Let me try.”
When Usopp saw Luffy and Qin Ming rolling on the deck and fighting, he felt that it was better to do it personally.
Fifteen minutes later, a brand new pirate flag was born.
This time, everyone was very satisfied with the straw hat and skull pirate flag drawn by Usopp.
Previously, Usopp had drawn a pirate flag with a long-nosed skeleton, but he was beaten up by Luffy and the others.
After some time, Usopp finally drew the symbol of a straw hat skull on the sail.
From then on, Qin Ming and the others finally had their own pirate flag. They could be considered true pirates.
At least when others saw the straw hat and skull flag fluttering in the wind, they knew that this was a pirate ship.
"In order to celebrate the birth of the Pirate Flag, I want to have a big meal.”
Luffy raised his head and looked at the pirate flag on the sail. He grinned and said to Qin Ming.
"Alright, I'll show you my new hunting method.”
Qin Ming took the two fishing rods and accessories from Usopp. He had given these things to Usopp earlier to ask him to help modify them, so they were already completed.
"What is that?"
Luffy looked at the things on Qin Ming's wrists and asked him with shining eyes.
"You will know soon enough."
Qin Ming chuckled and said to Luffy. The watch-like thing on his wrist was an accessory for the fishing rod.
"The big bird in the sky is so familiar. Have we seen it before?”
When Luffy wanted to touch the thing on Qin Ming's wrist, he inadvertently saw two big birds flying in the sky not far away.
"Isn't this bird the same as the big bird that took the two of you away last time?”
Sauron looked up at the birds in the sky and said to Qin Ming and Luffy.
"You said that the two of them were taken away by the big bird. What's going on?”
Usopp and Nami revealed gossipy expressions as they asked Sauron.
Thus, Sauron told him in detail about how Qin Ming and Luffy were taken away by the big bird.
"The two of you are really stupid. You were actually taken away by a bird. I'm dying of laughter.”
"That's right. One of you is the captain, and the other claims to be the world's number one hunter. In the end, even birds can bully you. Hahahahaha!”
Nami and Usopp laughed happily, and their words made Qin Ming and Luffy's faces turn black.
"Why do I feel so unhappy when I see them smiling now?”
Luffy was picking his nose. He felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw Usopp and Nami laughing so hard that they couldn't even straighten their backs.
"Needless to say, we were laughed at by them.”
Qin Ming said to the slow-witted Luffy. He really wanted to smack Sauron into the sea and feed him to the turtles. He didn't expect that this green hair usually didn't talk much, but when he talked a lot, he would expose all the embarrassing things he did in the past.
"You guys watch carefully. I'll get rid of those two stupid birds flying over now.”
Qin Ming put the two fishing rods together and looked up at the big bird in the sky.
"These birds fly quite high. Are you going to catch them with a fishing net when they fly low? But you haven't even taken the fishing net yet."
Luffy thought that it was a pity that he didn't get to eat these birds last time. If he had the chance this time, he would try them.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just go up and catch them.”
As Qin Ming said this, he extended the fishing rod and inserted it into the deck of the ship.
Under the shocked gazes of Nami and the others, Qin Ming grabbed the fishing rod and continued to extend it. In just a moment, the fishing rod had extended to about 40 meters.
Qin Ming grabbed the top of the fishing rod with one hand and came to the sky. He was almost at the same level as the two big birds flying over.
"Oh, this seems fun. Go, Qin Ming!”
Luffy saw Qin Ming hanging on the top of the 40-meter long fishing rod. At this distance, it was difficult for his hand to reach, so he immediately became excited.
"What is he doing at such a high place? What if he falls?”
Nami held her head in panic. What if Qin Ming fell from the 40-meter-long fishing rod?
"Qin Ming, how could you damage the boat! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
Wu Suo Pu saw Qin Ming's fishing rod pierce a small hole on the deck, he raised his head and shouted at Qin Ming who was hanging high on the fishing rod.
"What does he want to do? Even if he can reach the height of those big birds, it will be very difficult to catch them.”
Sauron looked up at Qin Ming and muttered to himself.
F * ck, this time I must avenge myself. Otherwise, I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life.
Just as Qin Ming was thinking this, two large birds flew over. These two bald birds clearly saw Qin Ming and cried out at the same time.
"Good!"
Qin Ming saw the two birds flapping their wings and opening their beaks, biting towards him from both sides. He took a deep breath and prepared to move.
Compared to the one that took Qin Ming away last time, these two birds were a little bigger. When their wings were fully spread, they were almost 14 meters wide.
When the two birds approached, Qin Ming stepped on the fishing rod and pounced towards the two birds.
"What is he doing? If he lets go like this, won't he fall down?”
Nami, who was on the boat, saw Qin Ming jump off the top of the 40-meter-long fishing rod. He was getting further and further away from the fishing rod and was even falling down. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
"So powerful, Qin Ming, quickly kill those two big birds.”
Luffy was calm and even cheered Qin Ming up.
"This guy is too reckless. Although I helped him change those things, it's his first time using them. If anything happens in the middle, it'll be bad.”
Wu Suo Pu felt that Qin Ming was very bold and was a little worried for Qin Ming.
"What did you change for him?"
Sauron looked at Qin Ming who was fighting with the big bird in the sky and asked Usopp.
At this moment, after Qin Ming jumped off the fishing rod, he quickly fell down. The thing on his right wrist was aimed at the big bird above.
Whoosh!
A huge fishing net flew out from the thing on Qin Ming's wrist and instantly caught the big bird that wanted to catch him with its sharp claws.
Following that, Qin Ming grabbed the fishing net that had caught a big bird. He stretched out his left hand and aimed the thing on his left wrist at the fishing rod.
Chi!
A thin line flew out from the thing on Qin Ming's left wrist. After this thin line touched the fishing rod, it actually stuck firmly.
Just like that, Qin Ming, who was in the air, grabbed the fishing net with his right hand and the thin line firmly stuck to the fishing rod with his left hand. He spun in the air, making Luffy and the others on the boat dumbfounded.
"Why is there a strange line and fishing net in his hand?”
Nami was shocked.
"This is really great. Can he shoot these things out of his butt too? So powerful!"
Luffy raised his head and watched Qin Ming grab the fishing net and use the fishing rod to spin in the sky. He even kicked away another big bird that wasn't caught by the net. His eyes were shining with stars, but what he said was intriguing.
"Don't make it sound so disgusting!"
Nami punched Luffy to the ground.
"It's really convenient for him to do this."
Sauron saw that Qin Ming was in the air. With the thin thread that could stick things, he could maintain a high degree of sensitivity. He couldn't help but say.
"Of course. He is wearing the fishing net launcher and fishing line launcher that I helped him modify. Now, these two things can shoot fishing nets and fishing lines. After my humble guidance, he can use these two things so skillfully.”
As Usopp spoke, he could not help but start bragging.
Qin Ming saw that the other big bird was clinging onto him and was still flying back fiercely after being kicked by him. It was very inconvenient for him to carry a bird in his hand, so he decided to retract the fishing line first. He punched the big bird that was caught in the net with his left hand and knocked it unconscious.
Qin Ming threw the unconscious bird and the fishing net onto the boat below. Then, as he fell, his left hand shot out a fishing line again and stuck it to the long fishing rod.
Qin Ming grabbed the fishing line and spun in the air. He swung up and arrived above the big bird. He kicked the big bird's head, causing the big bird to roll its eyes and fall down weakly.
Qin Ming saw that the big bird was about to fall into the sea, so he hurriedly changed his right hand to shoot out a fishing line to stick to the fishing rod, and his left hand released a fishing net to catch the big bird that was falling down.
Just as Qin Ming grabbed the fishing line with both hands and caught up with the big bird that was falling, he suddenly felt the direction change. His entire body was falling at a very fast speed, but his fishing line was still stuck to the fishing rod.
Soon, Qin Ming knew that the fishing rod he inserted on the boat had become tilted. It might have suffered a huge external force several times in a row.
If he allowed the fishing rod to continue tilting, Qin Ming would fall into the sea. Helplessly, Qin Ming could only grab the fishing rod and quickly shorten it.
As the fishing rod continued to shorten, Qin Ming also grabbed the fishing net that had caught a big bird and quickly headed towards the boat.
However, the fishing rod was retracted too quickly. Before Qin Ming could react, he and the big bird that was caught in the net crashed into Luffy and the others on the boat.
Luffy and the others had just avoided the first bird that Qin Ming threw down from above. Before they could even catch their breath, Qin Ming grabbed another bird and crashed into them, knocking them upside down.
Boom!
The entire Golden Meryl bounced on the surface of the sea. It could be seen how strong the impact was when Qin Ming grabbed the big bird and crashed into the ship.
Right now, Qin Ming was like Luffy and the others. He was lying on the boat with his arms spread out. He was seeing stars and couldn't get up for a while.
