Pirate's Swordsman

"Pirate ship..."

Looking at the white skull vaguely visible on the black flag from a distance, Xia Nuo didn't know what he was encountering. His heart suddenly tightened. He subconsciously took two steps back, and his face became a little ugly.

Although he liked watching pirates in his previous life, in reality, Xia Nuo naturally understood that there were very few pirates like Luffy after all. Most pirates could be described as scum. While roaming the sea, they burned and killed Robbery and looting treasures are their favorite things to do.

For ordinary people living in various places, the word pirate itself is a symbol of sin and disaster. Let alone contact them, they may even learn from newspapers about the rise of big pirates or hear about nearby pirates. Whenever there is any news about new pirates, they will be anxious for a long time.

The same goes for the residents of Orange Town.

"Andric Island is extremely remote in the East China Sea. I haven't seen any pirates in so many years. How could it happen today..."

Seeing the pirate ship in the mist getting closer and closer, Xia Nuo gritted his teeth. Although he could beat ordinary adults now, if he encountered a vicious pirate, he would probably die without even knowing how he died. The port area is quite empty, and it would be too dangerous to stay any longer.

Looking to both sides, a small grove immediately attracted his attention. Xia Nuo's eyes lit up and he hurried over, picked the strongest tree and hid behind the trunk.

After waiting silently for a while, he quickly climbed up the tree using his hands and feet. Only when his body was completely covered by the lush branches and leaves did he dare to carefully poke his head out.

At about the time he expected, the rather majestic pirate ship had already sailed into the port. As the ship's speed gradually slowed down, a strong sailor appeared on the side of the deck with a thick black iron He threw the anchor into the water, causing waves to rise. After a muffled sound, the pirate ship stopped steadily on the shore.

"Are you coming?"

Xia Nuo's mind was tense for a while, and he stared at the pirate ship, not even daring to take a breath, trying to see the situation on the deck more clearly.

However, the next scene was somewhat beyond his expectation.

There were no large numbers of ferocious pirates pouring out, and there were no dazzling weapons. There was only a man in a white cloak who walked out of the cabin, and beside him, there was a short little guy who looked like He is a boy of eight or nine years old.

A hearty laugh came from a distance, as if the man was saying goodbye to the people in the cabin. Then he took the little boy off the boat, waved to the pirate ship, and walked along a road to the north. The main road headed towards Xiangcheng Town.

As for the huge pirate ship that Xia Nuo cared about the most, it didn't even have the intention to stay any longer. It raised anchor and sail, left the port, and soon disappeared into the mist and disappeared from Xia Nuo's sight.

Seeing this scene, most of the tension and worry in Xia Nuo's heart immediately subsided.

"What...this pirate ship just came to see someone off, so it passed by here?"

Seeing the pirate ship go away, Xia Nuo curled his lips and cast his eyes in the direction of Orange Town. The people who got off the pirate ship were too far away just now, and he couldn't see their faces clearly. But since there were only two people, one of them He's still a little boy, so he doesn't pose much of a threat to the islanders, so he doesn't need to

I took a shortcut and rushed back to report the news.

Although his father abandoned his family and became a pirate, so that Xia Nuo became an orphan, the people in Xiangcheng Town still had a good attitude towards him, and Xia Nuo himself also liked the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere here. If there was really a pirate attack, he would not run away secretly and leave the people in the town to die in confusion.

"I don't know where those two guys came from, but they were sent here personally by such a big pirate ship."

Recalling the huge pirate ship he saw from a distance just now, Xia Nuo was still a little uneasy. A ship of this size was almost as big as all the fishing boats in Xiangcheng Town combined. From his understanding of the pirate world It seems that the size of a pirate ship is often one of the symbols of a pirate group's strength.

From this point of view, the person who docked at the port of Andric Island just now is most likely a large pirate group that is famous throughout the East China Sea, and the visitor is definitely not a small person.

"No matter what, let's go back and inquire first..."

After this encounter, Xia Nuo no longer had the idea of ​​continuing his morning jog along the coastline. After thinking about it for a while, he jumped off the tree and ran towards the town along the way he came.

........................

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The autumn sunshine tears through the thick clouds and roams freely on the sea. However, when it falls on people, all that is left is gentleness and warmth. A warm feeling rises from the heart and spreads to the body. Every corner of the hotel is so comfortable that people want to bathe in the sunshine all day long.

On days like this, it should be a very happy thing to laugh, chat, eat and drink under the warm sun with friends who share the same interests.

Xia Nuo had thought this way at the beginning, but at this moment, when he looked at the scene in front of him, he didn't feel that way at all. Instead, he had a hint of pain, which clearly appeared on his face.

Anderson, Bill, and Roy, these three little kids, each carrying a small bench, were sitting in a row in front of Xia Nuo, staring at him eagerly, with a look of anticipation on their faces.

To his right is a large iron pot with boiling water. Next to it, on an old wooden table, is a basin of washed and decapitated blue and white crayfish, as well as many seasonings of different colors. sauce.

"Friends with the same interests..." Xia Nuoxu glanced at the three of them.

"Eh? Are you going to start cooking lobster?"

As soon as they saw Xia Nuowang, the three little guys immediately became excited, and there was already faint saliva overflowing from their mouths. Roy even forgot to wipe his nose and urged him eagerly: "Hey, hey. Hey, Xia Nuo, hurry up, we are all impatient!"

"Humph……"

Looking at the thick snot, the corner of Xia Nuo's mouth twitched. Feeling that he was unable to say anything, he silently withdrew his gaze.

Speaking of which, he told these three friends yesterday that they should come to eat crayfish at night, but I don’t know whether they misunderstood or the crayfish he made was too charming. These bastards actually came to eat crayfish at noon. They ran over together, then sat at the door and stared at him with such expectant eyes, which made Xia Nuo, who had just practiced swordsmanship for a while, feel uncomfortable all over.

He had no choice but to give up his plan to continue practicing and deal with the lobster in advance.
