Pirate's Swordsman

The increase in proficiency brought about more than just changes in the superficial values ​​on the attribute panel. In the past six months, Xia Nuo's attainments and understanding of wind-control swordsmanship had improved obviously.

If half a year ago, he could barely master every move and style of Yufeng Swordsmanship by relying on years of practice, then by this time, Xia Nuo's understanding of swordsmanship is no longer just Staying on the superficial surface, but gradually entering a process of enlightenment.

This process can be said to be the only way for a swordsman to become a swordsman-level being.

In this vast sea, there are countless swordsmen, but there are very few who can be called "swordsmen". A strong person of this level, in addition to having strong physical skills to a certain level, must also understand his own swordsmanship, so that he can find his own path in the way of swordsmanship.

And some of the top swordsmen have unique "sword intent". This kind of thing looks illusory, but it can play an extremely terrifying role in battle. It is the reason why swordsmen can gallop across the sea and the strong ones who have developed the devil fruit ability to the extreme.

Xia Nuo has never seen a Devil Fruit before, and has never thought of relying on the ability of a Devil Fruit. His goal has always been to become the world's greatest swordsman. Therefore, being able to be here is actually his biggest achievement in the past six months. reward.

In terms of basic attributes, Xia Nuo's strength and agility were increased by about six or seven points each, which is not much. There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, these two values ​​are directly related to the tapping of one's own body's potential. They contain extremely high gold content and are extremely difficult to improve. In addition, there has been no movement in the hero level in the past six months. To be able to increase so much, he is already This is the result of hard work and rigorous training over the past six months.

After all, Barati is a restaurant, and everyone who comes to eat is a guest regardless of their status. If trouble occurs, it is normal for Xiano, as the head chef, to step in to stabilize the situation, but that's all. If he didn't do anything too extreme in the restaurant, even if many of the pirates were scum, he couldn't kill people in public to gain experience because he was eager to upgrade, right?

That is to say...

On the night when Xia Nuo first came to Barati, the conflict between the identity of the cook and the speed of level improvement that he was worried about was still a big trouble in front of him.

"Well, it seems we still have to rely on that plan."

Thinking of this, Xia Nuo raised his head, looked at the sparkling sea, rubbed his bitter cheeks, and sighed, "Tonight is the official start. It cost the old man a lot of money. If I can't If I make my money back, I will have to get beaten up together with Sanji..."

………………

As the sky darkens and the night falls, the brightly lit Barati Restaurant suddenly looks like a beacon, standing out against the vast sea.

In the hall on the first floor, because it was dinner time, the tables were almost full. Fortunately, after half a year of development, Barati had hired a bunch of chefs and waiters. The large number of people was enough to cope with it, and even chefs were in most cases. I still had some extra time, so I had to work as a waiter.

The reason for this situation is naturally related to the conflicts that break out from time to time at this only sea restaurant in the East China Sea.

The chefs Zhepu recruits are all bastards who are not afraid of trouble, but the waiters do not have this psychological quality. Sometimes when the pirates make trouble, half of these waiters will be scared and run away on the spot. Only by constantly re-recruiting can they barely maintain the number.

On the contrary, because the chefs had similar temperaments to each other, the longer they stayed, the deeper their feelings for Barati became.

, the more reluctant to leave this place, and new chefs are constantly coming here to attract the attention. As time goes on, the number of chefs will only increase, so much so that there are even more chefs than waiters.

So, the kitchen seemed extremely busy at this time, but in fact everything was handled with ease. Guys like Paddy and Carl, after being busy for a while, were replaced by another group of chefs on duty, ending their work directly for the day.

Since the two have been friends for many years and live in the same house, their daily routines have always been highly synchronized. According to past habits, at this time, it was almost time to go back to the second floor to wash up and go to bed.

"It feels like the restaurant's business has been getting better and better lately, but we are getting more relaxed..."

On the spiral staircase in the center of the hall, Paddy dragged his body slowly upstairs, tilting his head slightly and laughing behind him: "I said, we have rested a little too early these days. , how about we also serve as guest waiters in the evening, in that case, maybe we are lucky and can earn some tips..."

As a result, no reply was heard from behind for a long time. Paddy suddenly looked back strangely: "Carl?"

"Well, I'm listening."

What he didn't expect after coming out was that Karl sat down against the railing at the corner of the stairs at the back. He didn't move when he heard the words, he just looked up at him and said lazily: "If you want to sleep, go up first. Well, I still have things to do."

"Something's wrong, what's the matter?"

Paddy looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why, you kid didn't have an idea after listening to my words and planned to stay here tonight to earn tips?"

Karl rolled his eyes, looking like he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guy, what kind of attitude is that!"

Paddy was furious, then rolled his eyes, and simply turned around. Under Karl's dissatisfied look, he squeezed down and sat down, holding his shoulder tightly with one hand, and his big civet-like face was full of narrow-minded expressions. With a smile, he came up and said, "Hey, hey, old guy, tell me what's going on."

"Hands off!"

Karl glared at him, and when Paddy retracted his hand angrily, he yawned and said, "Although it has nothing to do with you, since you asked me, I might as well tell you."

"The boss has been renovating the restaurant this month and has separated the east side of the hall with a wall. You know this, right?" Karl pouted towards the east side, where there was a green curtain, separating the east side of the restaurant from the hall. It was divided and occupied an area of ​​more than ten square meters.

"Knowing means knowing..."

Paddy scratched the back of his head, "But the boss didn't say why. I asked the chef last time, and he looked mysterious and said he wanted to keep it a secret. Why, do you know what's in it?"

"Nonsense, I don't know why I'm here."

Karl glanced at him sideways, and then in Paddy's expectant eyes, he said with a bit of pride: "Speaking of which, I only found out today when the chef called me over."

"Behind the curtain is a renovated tavern. It seems to be called 'Shudong Wine House' or something. From now on, it will be open exclusively at night and receive guests who only drink. The chef himself will be the boss. As far as I'm concerned, he has already been hired. , becoming one of the only three bartenders in the wine house. If the business is good in the future, the tips will be much higher than when working as a waiter."
