Pirate's Swordsman

When the morning light shrouded it, the boundless sea seemed to be covered with a layer of pale golden clouds, bright and beautiful.

Just after six o'clock, Xia Nuo got up early. After kicking Xiao Luo, who was leaning on the end of his bed, out of the window, he went out to wash up, and then returned to the room refreshed. According to the ship's schedule, his shift officially started after noon, so he had some free time in the morning, just in time to lean on the bed and read through the logbook left by Zhepu.

"On August 8th, the weather turned from sunny to cloudy. Today was a great day. Together with my partners, I officially entered the Grand Line from the Upside Down Mountain. During the process, we encountered a whale called Rab, which kept hitting the red earth continent. , letting out bursts of whining, as if waiting for the return of our companions, we didn’t speak, but we always felt sad in our hearts. If we can realize our dream, I think this will be our last voyage..."

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really good to put up a flag at the beginning? Isn't the flag too obvious?" Holding the yellowed and curly logbook in his hand, Xia Nuo was stunned before he read the entire first page. Bad, couldn't help but complain.

The following pages contained detailed descriptions of the weather and wind. Xia Nuo was not interested in these, so he quickly turned the page and skipped over. Only when he came across some useful or interesting information, his eyes would stay on it for two seconds.

“On August 8, due to a sudden heavy rain, we were forced to turn around and arrived at Dulu Island, which is the starting point of the westernmost route among the seven routes of the Grand Route. From this day on, we truly embarked on a new journey... …”

"On August 8, we arrived at Carnival City. There is a sea train track that has just been opened to traffic, which can directly lead to the capital of seven rivers. It is fast and convenient. But after some discussion, we agreed that we should continue to move forward along the Let’s set off on the route of our own choosing…”

"On September 9th, we arrived at the Food City. For our chefs, this place can almost be described as paradise..."

"On October 10, we passed by the City of the Queen of Spring. In front of us was the Magic Triangle. It was unpredictable and too dangerous, so we chose to take a detour and head to the Chambord Islands..."

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

"It only took more than three months to reach the Chambord Islands..." After skipping the boring part, the logbook became more and more informative. Unknowingly, Xia Nuo was reading it with relish and could not bear it. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Old man, they are going smoothly enough. I don't know how long it will take me to complete the first half of the Grand Route..."

Just when he was about to continue scrolling back to see if the old man and the others had been to the New World, there was a heavy knock on the door. Xia Nuo was stunned, quickly put away the logbook, got out of bed and opened the door. .

Standing outside was a young guard, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Xia Nuo remembered that this man was called Lan Che. He also said hello several times yesterday afternoon. He was smiling all day long and was a very cheerful boy. But at this time he The expression on his face was tense, and Xia Nuo had a bad premonition as soon as he saw it, "What's wrong, something happened outside?"

"Well, it seems that a pirate ship was discovered on the main ship. Uncle Takemura asked me to wake up those who were not on duty and gather on the deck." Lan Che nodded, and after a brief explanation, he turned around, Before leaving, he urged again: "Xia Nuo, hurry up. I have to go to other rooms to call someone, so I'm leaving first."

"Don't worry, I'll be here soon!"

After watching Lan Che run to the other end of the corridor,

, Xia Nuo frowned. The scale of the Drumon family's caravan is not huge. The heavy artillery firepower on both sides of the No. 3 ship Xia Nuo is on is a bit scary, not to mention that it is even bigger. Now that the number one main ship is out, wouldn't ordinary pirates be seeking death if they dare to attack their crooked brains?

However, it is said that using money to help others eliminate disasters. Faced with this situation, Xia Nuo naturally could not ignore it. He immediately took Toya Lake from the corner, then put on his coat, hurriedly went down the stairs, and ran out of the cabin.

When he arrived on the deck, he found that almost all the guards on the ship were gathered in front of the railing on the left side. Looking at it, the situation of the two ships in front and behind was similar. Xia Nuo hurriedly squeezed forward and got to the railing.

Standing next to him was Wu Cun. Some of the bandages on his legs had been removed. It seemed that his injuries were much better. He was holding a telescope and looking ahead with a solemn expression. His hand holding the railing was clenched tightly. He looked so absorbed that he didn't even notice Xia Nuo's arrival.

"Even Uncle Wucun is like this. It seems that he has a good background..."

With such thoughts in his mind, Xia Nuo did not disturb Wucun immediately, but followed his gaze and looked over. Sure enough, on the vast sea horizon, there was a huge ship approaching gradually. Just looking at its size, it was actually It is only slightly smaller than the caravan's main ship.

Above the mast, the black pirate flag fluttered in the wind, but because it was too far away, Xia Nuo couldn't see it clearly even after squinting for a long time. He could only poke Wu Cun's arm, leaned over and whispered: "I said Uncle, do you recognize what pirate group that is?"

"Not yet. The other party is far away, so I can't tell his identity for the time being." Upon hearing the voice, Takemura subconsciously removed his telescope and turned to look. After seeing that it was Xia Nuo, a flash of light flashed across his face. There was a look of surprise, but he suppressed it immediately and explained in a low voice with a slight cough:

"However, every ship in the caravan has been prepared to attack. Although the size of the pirate group opposite does not seem small, as long as we can show enough force to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties, we will No problem anymore.”

"That's right. Ordinary pirates won't pick bones that are too difficult to chew, otherwise the gains may outweigh the losses." Xia Nuo nodded slightly, thought about it, and then put his hand over, "Uncle Takemura, please lend me the telescope."

Upon hearing this, Takemura handed over the telescope without hesitation. After Xia Nuo thanked him, he raised the telescope and looked through the eyepiece in the direction just now.

The silhouette of the ship in his sight suddenly became much closer, and he could vaguely see many people gathered on the deck, while the pirate flag was still a little blurry on the bow of the ship. Xia Nuo was not in a hurry, but silently held up the telescope and waited. The pirate ship approaches.

Finally, after half a minute, the scene of the pirate ship finally became clearer. Xia Nuo perked up and hurriedly squinted his eyes to take a closer look. However, in the first place, he was caught by someone on the sail. The pattern attracted me.

The next moment, after seeing the pattern clearly, Xia Nuo's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he became stunned:

"Fuck, shit...it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

On the white sail filled with sea breeze, there is a huge white skull, which is exactly the same as the pirate flag on the top of the mast. It is ferocious and full of deterrence, but the most eye-catching thing is the middle part of the skull's face. , that round and big red nose.
