Pirate Galen

Chapter 254 Migrant Swordsman Sauron
East China Sea, Cocoa West Village.

Because of the special policies of Debon Company, Cocoyasi Village has transformed from a poor fishing village ruled by evil dragons into a bustling town on the popular sea route in just one year.

The old Dragon Park was demolished, and the new Cocoyasi Town was born out of the ruins.

Piers, roads, shops, hotels, restaurants.
The infrastructure needed for a new town is gradually built here.

The first sea train station in the East China Sea will soon be born in this small town.

When the green algae-headed swordsman Sauron boarded the pier in a passenger ship, what he saw was a small town that was just showing its splendor;

And this small town seems to be a construction site that never stops, creating new things all the time.

Sauron, who had just bid farewell to his master and went to sea from a remote village, and had been chopping wood in barren mountains and old forests because of his livelihood, instinctively felt that such a scene was a bit strange.

However, as a sincere swordsman, his attention will not stay too much on those vulgar things.

Not long after coming out of the pier, Sauron's sharp sword-like gaze stopped at a white background with a golden sword hanging in the distance——

This flag that protects the entire East China Sea represents a man he wants to challenge:

"Galen."

Sauron read these two words word by word.

Then, Sauron moved his gaze to a notice board under the flag, and said two more words in a solemn tone:

"Hiring."

There is also a line of small characters after it:
"The construction team of Goya Kingdom, a subsidiary of Debon Company, is temporarily recruiting handymen, carpenters, masons, painters, etc. for the first phase of the Cocoa West Station project."

Of course, these are not the key points, the key points are:

"Package and food."

Sauron's gaze was fixed, and he quickly walked towards the direction indicated by the sign.

No way, forced by livelihood.
Although Sauron's original intention was to come to Cocoyasi Village to challenge Galen, a master of swordsmanship, but he couldn't go hungry to challenge powerful enemies, so he could only obediently go to work to make ends meet.

This can't be blamed on others:
Originally, due to the extremely high logging efficiency, Sauron quickly saved enough travel expenses for himself, and bought the passenger ship ticket early.

However, he boarded the wrong ship several times in a row after departure
All the hard-earned money was lost by Sauron himself.

Sauron followed the signs and walked all the way to the workbench of the recruiters on the construction site.

But before Sauron could speak, the recruiters at the construction site cast their thoughtful eyes on the three samurai swords slung across his waist:
"Young man, are you here to apply for a job as a handyman?"

"Forehead?"

Sauron frowned slightly: "No, I'm here to apply for a carpenter job."

"Carpentry?"

A look of doubt suddenly appeared in the recruiter's eyes:
"Carpentry is a technical job, and it's not something that a part-time swordsman like you can do."

"Putting wood is different from cutting people. If you want to apply for a carpenter here, you must have the corresponding skills."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wood and toolboxes piled up not far away:

"There's wood and tools there, just show your hands."

"no problem."

Sauron responded without hesitation, and then walked slowly to the wood pile.

He took a deep breath, gently stroked the handle of the knife with his right hand, and half of the bright blade revealed a rustling cold light from the scabbard.

"and many more!"

The recruiter stopped Sauron in a daze:

"You don't use a saw and plane, but you want to use a samurai sword for carpentry?"

Sauron didn't answer, but concentrated all his energy on the wood in front of him.

Amid the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, Sauron easily lifted a heavy log from the ground into the air with a slender, one-inch-wide blade.

But before the log fell to the ground, the brilliant and sharp knife light flickered around it.

The cold light radiated, and the sawdust flew along with it.

It wasn't until Sauron calmly withdrew his sword that the piece of wood finally got rid of the blade light and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, what was lying on the ground was no longer an unprocessed log, but a pile of wood.
"A wooden cube with a size of 10 centimeters, and it was polished by the way?"

The recruiters looked at Sauron, as if they had seen an alien.

"Yes."

Sauron nodded, pointed to a pile of round wooden beads scattered on the ground and said:
"I used the leftovers to carve some beads, you can take them back and make a bracelet or something."

"This!"

The recruiters were extremely shocked and couldn't help exclaiming:
"In this world, there is such a level of swordsmanship?"

"Ugh"

Sauron recalled his working life as a coolie in the lumber yard these days, and casually said some sad words:

"Without him, only hands are familiar."

During his career as a lumberjack in the wilderness, Sauron could not find anyone to sharpen his sword skills, so he had to use wood to practice his sword.

This kind of helpless and special way of cultivation allowed Sauron to unexpectedly temper his control over the blade and make his swordplay go to a higher level.

Of course, by the way, he also mastered the superb wood art.

Sauron conquered the recruiters with this wooden skill, and was immediately recruited into the construction team as a senior technician.

Unfortunately, it's still early for dinner.

Sauron had no choice but to put on his overalls and hard hat, and went directly to the construction site to report.

"Hi!"

Several workers were resting, and when they saw Sauron's new face, they greeted enthusiastically: "Newcomer?"

"kindness."

Sauron nodded politely.

"Who is it?"

A worker asked curiously.

"Shuangyue Village."

Zoro replied concisely.

But that face that was indifferent to everything made the workers who came up to greet him consciously give up the idea of ​​asking.

Zoro came here temporarily to earn a meal, so naturally he was not in the mood for any interpersonal communication.

Right now, his main concern is.
When is the meal time?

"Cuckoo-"

There was a sudden thunderous stomach rumble.

Sauron, who had no money to eat, subconsciously thought that this was his masterpiece, but the excessively loud volume allowed him to quickly identify the source of the sound:
It turned out that it was a worker standing not far away.

He didn't wear overalls and a hard hat, but a strange outfit with a vest, straw sandals, and a straw hat.

"meat, meat"

He muttered a word of meat in his mouth, and his mouth stretched even longer
The jaw was so long that it almost fell to the ground.

Sauron, who had just debuted, was stunned, and after a moment of stupefaction, he recalled the sea knowledge popularized by his master before his departure:
"Devil Fruit Ability?"

And the workers around seemed to be accustomed to this kind of vision, they just joked with a smile:
"Hahaha!"

"Luffy, it's too early to leave dinner!"

"Your stomach growls like this, how can you challenge that Lord Galen?"

"kindness?"

Surprise flashed across Sauron's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask the workers:

"This straw hat kid is going to challenge Galen too?"

"haha, yes!"

The worker didn't notice the word "also" in Sauron's words, and just explained with a smile:
"Luffy, he usually likes to say such crazy things."

"Every day I say that I will defeat Lord Galen sooner or later, and take back the title of 'One Piece' from him."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Saying that, the workers laughed again.

"One Piece?"

Sauron looked at Luffy with more curiosity and doubts immediately:
This guy in front of him who looks a little dazed and has been moving bricks on the construction site has such a lofty goal?

However, Zoro's questioning and coworkers' teasing did not shake Luffy's mind in the slightest.

Amidst the laughter, Lu Fei quietly clenched his fists, his eyes hidden under the brim of the straw hat became extremely firm:
"I will beat him!"

A cheerful smile of incomparable confidence appeared on Luffy's face:
"I've gotten a lot stronger these days."

"I will definitely defeat that guy and get back the title he took away from here!"

"Luffy, wake up!"

A coworker laughed so hard that he lost his strength, but he calmed down and tried to persuade him:
"We all understand that your strength is good, and one person can do the work of dozens of people, but..."

"Do you know what strength Master Galen has now?"

"Do you know, Master Galen, what kind of big shots he is dealing with now?"

He put on a gesture of pointing the country, and asked Luffy with the fresh information he read from the newspaper:

"Luffy, do you know Whitebeard?"

"do not know."

Luffy replied honestly.

"Does the golden lion know?"

"do not know."

"Does the Warring States Marshal know?"

"do not know."

"Does Lieutenant General Garp know?"

"My grandpa?"

"."

The smiles on the faces of the workers suddenly faltered.

Then, they all looked at Luffy with concern and concern:
"Luffy, you can't get sicker and sicker!"

"It's fine if you say you want to challenge Lord Galen, how can you recognize Grandpa indiscriminately!"

"what?"

Luffy scratched his head innocently: "But."

Seeing that the workers were about to open their mouths to care about Luffy's mental state, Sauron stood up:

"Don't talk about it!"

Sauron caressed the hilt of the sword, and there was a fierce aura on his body:

"I believe in him!"

"Yes, my grandfather is."

Luffy nodded.

"That's not what I believe."

Zoro glanced at Luffy angrily, and said:
"I believe in your dreams."

"Because, I see the same look in your eyes as mine."

Sauron's eyes became serious, and he introduced himself to Luffy solemnly:
"Roronoah Sauron, came here specially to challenge Galen, a master of Dao swords."

"My dream is to become the number one swordsman in the world!"

Feeling the same imposing manner on Sauron's body as himself, Lu Fei's eyes also became serious:

"Monkey D. Luffy, come here to eat the big pot meal at the construction site!"

"."

Zoro choked hard at Luffy's honesty.

However, the firmness in Luffy's eyes quickly moved him:
"After I'm full, I'm going to challenge Galen!"

"My dream is to become the sea, the sea"

Speaking of this, Lu Fei's face became very tangled, and he held back for a long time before saying: "One Piece!"

This word sounds awkward, but everyone can understand this word.

Because distinguishing real pirates from navigators was originally one of the focuses of Wallace's propaganda work in the East China Sea.

finally.
The two men with great dreams stood face to face, and the gears of fate began to slow down.
"Luffy, wake up!"

A worker hurried over and patted Luffy on the shoulder:

"The foreman is calling you to move bricks!"
