Chapter 33: Whiskey Peak
In the cabin room, Jiang Qize took off his clothes and examined his nearly perfect physique, feeling the surging power within his body.
"I'm earning money far too slowly right now. My strength is basically standing still. I can't keep relying on summoning dinosaurs to improve myself — otherwise when will I ever firmly establish myself in this world?"
At present his rank was only Headquarters Second Lieutenant, and although he might be a bit stronger than ordinary people, it wasn't by much.
"I just don't know if those basic training methods from anime are actually useful."
He was wearing only a pair of shorts as he started doing push-ups on the floor, his arm muscles swelling and contracting with each movement.
Time slowly passed.
"999…1000."
Jiang Qize gritted his teeth, his voice trembling as he counted. His skin, whiter than a girl's, was actually flushed scarlet, like a cooked crab, steam rising from his body.
The muscles on his body coiled like a dragon and felt full of impact.
He stood up, then sat down and began doing squats.
…
Two days later.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Captain, we've arrived at Whiskey Peak."
"Understood."
A cold, indifferent voice sounded.
In the room, a strong figure stood up. Long silver hair was tied back, and a stern face came into view.
Jiang Qize threw on a black shirt at random and went out.
During these two days he had been training constantly; his strength had increased day by day, and his mastery over that strength had improved greatly.
And because Camon had found an Eternal Record Pointer and a nautical chart on this ship, they had sailed straight for the nearest Whiskey Peak.
Walking out of the cabin, he came up onto the deck.
He looked toward the island called Whiskey Peak.
The island was split into two sides; on each side there were towns. Beyond the towns lay fields filled with cactus plants, and the mountains themselves looked like cacti.
Their ship steered into the river between them.
On both sides, the towns were populated by oddly dressed people who stared at them and smiled.
"They… look so strange."
Little Robin, standing next to camon, murmured nervously as she watched them.
Seeing those people, Jiang Qize naturally knew what kind they were.
"Ignore them. If they don't cause trouble it's fine, but if they dare—"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Camon, go with the Raptorex later and make a pirate flag, and pick up some supplies while you're at it."
"Yes, Captain."
Camon said a little excitedly—finally they were forming a pirate crew.
Little Robin glanced at Jiang Qize, her eyes full of inner conflict.
On the shore.
"They've struck this time — it's the Devil Child Niko Robin, and the summoner Ze."
At the back of the crowd, a bald one-eyed man looked greedy, licking his lips as he spoke.
"Hahaha, I only want Niko Robin." A small, thin man with a knife on his back laughed.
"You wish. Niko Robin is easy enough to capture, but that summoner isn't so simple — look at the huge dinosaur on his ship."
"What are you worried about? I don't believe a super-sized tranquilizer wouldn't do the trick, and with so many of us, one shot each and they're all dead."
"Exactly, exactly."
The people around them all had lights in their eyes, itching to rush out and seize Jiang Qize right now.
Boom!
The ship docked at the pier.
Clop.
Jiang Qize jumped off the ship. The Raptorex and the others followed and walked into the town.
