() Tieshan did not return home until the evening, which made Liushan, who had been waiting, anxious. As soon as Tieshan returned home, Liushan couldn't help but get closer.

"Don't be anxious. I'll tell you in detail later. Just wait for a while."

It wasn't until after dinner that Tieshan walked to the back courtyard of his home with Liu Shan, who was impatient. Looking at Liu Shan, Tieshan smiled and said, "I've been feeling anxious today. Now that I have time, I'll tell you slowly,

You will be leaving in a few days, and I may have few opportunities to teach you again."

"This is my home, and I will definitely come back to see you often."

"How can that be done? We must focus on training. What do you think of this competition?"

"They are all very strong. I can't hold on with just a few combined attacks, but I have the confidence to escape, and I'm also very satisfied with the rewards."

"You kid." Tieshan also laughed when he heard this: "This time you really made me proud. Although your level is not much higher than theirs, I am still very confident about winning the first place. This is not important, it is more important.

What’s important is that this time you have to form a team of as many as seven or eight people, or as few as three or four people. You can’t be too conspicuous, and you can’t lack the help of your partners.”

"Is there any reason for this?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Your teammates are Rufeng and Kurou. Rufeng, you know a little bit about it. As for Kurou, you train alone, so you don't know them. Tomorrow, the three of you will meet together. You choose

Most of you have taken the path of pirate hunter. You have only trained your personal abilities before. As for teamwork, you will have to practice more in the future. This is only possible if you have companions, so I have not taught you before, and I will not teach you now.

Let me teach you that you can only get exercise by cooperating with your partners."

"Rufeng is okay. As for Kurou, is it okay? The strength of the people in the team cannot be too different. If he is not strong enough, it will be an obstacle."

"Don't worry, you don't know much about those people. Yesterday's competition was just physical combat. Their real strength won't be much behind yours."

"What?" Liushan was shocked, no worse than himself?

"What's the point of this? If it weren't for hand-to-hand combat, you wouldn't even have a chance. Don't underestimate them. There's a fine line between genius and hard work. I was also very nervous. I didn't expect you to actually win. What a surprise. As for the competition,

The time for each session is not fixed, but the younger generation who go out to experience will definitely

Most of them are included, and you are the youngest among them. You are only fifteen years old, and many of them are already in their twenties. You were born to me and your mother when we were very old, and you are the same as those guys of my generation.

You will have children when you are twenty, time is so magical, it can smooth out a lot of things."

"No, they look very young."

"That's just what you think. Even Rufeng is already eighteen."

"It can't be that simple. Don't we and the ghost clan have very long lifespans?"

"You guessed it right. We can live ten or twenty years longer than ordinary people, but that's all."

Liushan was already a little numb to this, and there were enough things about the ghost clan that shocked him. Tieshan patted Liushan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back to bed quickly, I have to meet the two of them tomorrow."

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Liu Shan was picked up by a middle-aged uncle. When he arrived at the edge of the village, Liu Shan found that many people had arrived. Several people were whispering in groups. After seeing Ru Feng

, Liushan quickened his pace. There was no one around Rufeng, so Liushan asked: "Isn't Kurou here yet?"

"That's me." A voice came from behind. Liushan turned around in disbelief. The uncle who brought him here was right behind him.

"Uncle, I forgot to thank you for sending me here. This joke is not funny at all."

The uncle showed a helpless expression: "Although I do look a little older, I have just turned twenty this year, so don't call me uncle or anything like that anymore."

What? Liushan looked at him carefully for a long time before he saw a little childishness on his face. Rufeng next to him also said: "Curuu does look a little older, but his strength is good."

This time it was Liushan's turn to be surprised. Rufeng usually looked cold, so how could he take the initiative to speak? Kurou came to the rescue.

"I can be said to be one of Rufeng's few friends. Rufeng is not as cold as he appears. He is very kind."

"Really?" Rufeng interjected: "Stop talking about this, the three of us are very strong, what are we going to do next?"

Liushan smiled knowingly, it seems that people really can't be judged by their appearance. He didn't expect Rufeng to have such a cute side, but then he asked doubtfully: "Then why is our team divided into three people?"

"This is based on strength. The stronger the strength, the fewer the team members. Three people is the minimum, and the maximum number is nine."

"So the three of us are going to meet each other this time?"

"That's not the case. We need to determine our starting point. As pirate hunters, the tribe will just throw us on a small island where a naval base is located. After that, we will be on our own. If we want to survive, we can only make money by ourselves.

"

"Then wouldn't our parents give us some?"

"Do you think everyone is like you? Many parents don't give us anything except medicine. It is said to train us to endure hardships and stand hard work. If you want treasure, there are many pirates."

Liu Shan secretly sweated, what kind of parents are these? They should give a little bit anyway. Thinking of what his mother had prepared for him, Liu Shan felt warm in his heart.

"Where should we go first? We can't just go to any naval base. How about going to the nearest naval base No. 204?"

Rufeng nodded and Liushan had no objection. To him, it didn't matter where he went.

"Then it's settled. I'm best at using the heavy hammer, but my speed is a bit slow."

Rufeng also said: "I use a sword."

Liu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were telling each other some details: "I use a knife."

"Sword? I heard that your father is also a swordsman."

"Yes, my father has always taught me how to practice swordsmanship. Why do I feel like it's just the two of us talking? Rufeng, you should also say something."

"You'd better not talk about him. Although he is very loyal and a good friend to his friends, he doesn't talk much."

"It's not just you who caused the trouble, I'll take the blame."

"Don't say that. Your grandfather won't do anything to you. It's easy to get sick if you focus on practicing every day. You should go out more and relax."

"That's what I say, but you can't do bad things."

"We were not doing bad things, we were just playing pranks."

"I won't listen to your excuses." Rufeng turned her head and Kurou giggled.

"Your relationship is very good, it's really enviable."

"Liu Shan, you don't have to say that. You will also be my good friend from now on. Since the three of us are together, we are good buddies. You can safely leave your back to his companion."

"Yeah." Liushan nodded heavily.

"Then it's settled. We'll meet tomorrow morning. The first batch of ships is passing by Carl Town, and Naval Base No. 204 is also there. It's good to be close. We don't have to wait long before we can set off. In the future

What a wonderful life, I’m really looking forward to it.”

"Goodbye then."

After the three people in Liushan made an appointment for tomorrow's meeting place, they went home to prepare. Liushan and their two homes were in different directions, which was why Kurou came to pick him up.

Walking on the road, Liu Shan showed a smile. His two teammates looked very interesting. Ru Feng always looked like he wouldn't enter strangers, but the look on his face when talking to Ku Rou showed that he was in a deep state of mind.

He's just a little lonely and doesn't know how to make friends. He only has a few friends so far.

It's just that Liushan only cares about talking about others, forgetting that he is actually the same, and even worse. Liushan's only friend seems to be Robin, and he took the initiative to get together. As for the others, because they practice alone, other people of the same generation in the village

It seems that I only know one person, Rufeng, and it was his father who introduced him to him.

Although Ku Rou does look a bit older, this must be because his body matures too early. In the morning, I thought he was picking her up to go to the gathering, and she made a joke because of it. And listening to his conversation with Ru Feng, when he was a child, he was absolutely

Aren't you a peaceful person who likes to play pranks? You should have a cheerful personality and be someone you can get along with very quickly.

He looked up at the sky. Maybe it would be a good idea to take risks with them. Liushan thought he could go out alone, but he didn't have any experience. He might suffer a big loss. Maybe he could go out with them.

good.

After returning home, Liu Shan found Robin. At this time, Robin was holding a short sword. Robin did not have much achievements in physical skills, but his body was much stronger than before, so Robin chose the short sword.

, using demonic abilities over long distances, the short sword is only for self-defense, and it is easy to carry, so it is obviously very suitable for her.

Seeing Liu Shan coming back, Robin stopped: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Liushan looked at Robin, and even couldn't help but want to say something to stay with her, but he couldn't protect Robin without the ability. Since the world's government wanted Robin, he was considered an enemy of the world's government, and he was not strong.

Even Robin wouldn't be able to protect him. Liu Shan wanted to use his own power, not the family's power, to protect Robin.

Seeing Liu Shan's increasingly firm eyes, Robin's eyes softened: "Thank you, Liu Shan, and don't forget to help me find the historical text when you go out."

"I will."

"Maybe it won't be long before I can go out."

"What, how is that possible? Don't you know that the world's government is wanted? If your identity is revealed, you will be in danger."

"Don't underestimate me. I'm also very strong. The ability of Devil Fruit is not something you can resist now."

Liushan felt a sense of powerlessness. Indeed, he was stronger than Robin, but this was when Robin was not using the Devil Fruit. When Robin used the flower fruit's ability, Liushan had no choice but to admit defeat.

In the early stages, Devil Fruits did have a great advantage. It was really annoying that I couldn't take Devil Fruits due to physical reasons.

"I have changed a lot now compared to before. No one may be able to recognize me. Don't worry. You are here to say goodbye to me. Needless to say, you must become stronger, otherwise I will have to find another person to compare with you."

I married a strong man."

After saying that, before the shocked Liushan came to his senses, Liushan kissed him on the face, and then hurriedly ran away. Touching the place where he was kissed just now, Liushan giggled, and stayed there for a long, long time.
