Pirate's Swordsman

"Mr. Smoker! Another unknown fleet is coming ahead!"

On the vast sea, three naval warships were lined up. In front of the deck of the middle warship, a black-haired girl wearing glasses suddenly put down her telescope and turned around and shouted.

"Ah, I saw it too."

Smoker still maintained his shirtless appearance, holding a cigar in his mouth, looking ahead expressionlessly, "Go, send someone forward and inquire about the other party's background. If there is any suspicion, call him immediately." Launch a search operation!”

"Yes!"

Dasqi saluted him without hesitation, and then hurried towards the communication room in the rear cabin.

Not long after, the slightly smaller warship on the right received the order, took the initiative to move forward, and then slowly approached the main ship of the Drummond family's caravan. A naval captain boarded the ship with a dozen soldiers and started talking with Arrita and others who came forward to greet them.

"What an extraneous incident..."

On the No. 3 ship, Xia Nuo had quietly retreated to the second floor, watching the situation there through the porthole. After scanning his eyes back and forth between the warship and the main ship, he frowned slightly and murmured:

"There are actually three warships. This is an incredible lineup in the East China Sea... Where is the navy?"

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

"Report! Mr. Smoker, according to the news from Captain Larry, this caravan belongs to the Drummond family, and this time it is also led by the hostess of the Drummond family to go to the Grand Line. It’s a deal!”

On the deck, Dasqi put down the phone bug he had just taken and said to Smog with a serious face.

"Hmm...the Drummond family?"

Smoker frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, this family seems to be one of the largest business families in the East China Sea, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Smog!" Dasqi recalled, and then added: "And according to the local family credit record, this family has always had a good reputation and has no illegal records. It has also helped other branches of the navy. Killed several groups of pirates!"

"That's it..." Smoker narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and after pondering for a while, he said calmly:

"Since there is no problem with the origin, let Larry and the others come back, let them pass, and continue to inspect the next batch of fleets. Our naval branch still needs the support of this kind of local big family, so we can't offend them too much."

"Yes!"

Dasqi hurriedly saluted, then took a slight step back, lowered his head and whispered softly to the phone bug.

After a while, Captain Larry received the order and retreated without hesitation, leading his soldiers back to the warship. With the navy's release, the Drummond family's caravan finally set sail again. Set sail and head towards the Upside Down Mountain that can be seen in the distance beyond the horizon.

"The swordsman who emerged from the East China Sea, 'Fengfeng' Xia Nuo..."

Looking away from the fleet of boats that were gradually moving away, Smoker slowly blew out a smoke ring and looked coldly into the distance.

On the surface of the sea, he murmured: "It is definitely my dereliction of duty to allow such a big pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million to appear in the East China Sea. No matter what, I will reduce you to the East China Sea and will never give you the chance to go to the Grand Route. of."

More than a week ago, Captain Rat of Branch 16 was killed, and the mastermind Xia Nuo escaped unscathed despite the siege. After the publicity of many media on the spot, it spread throughout the sea in an instant. In many places, even the Navy Headquarters, It caused great shock.

Especially after figuring out what happened and investigating the identity of Xiano's other representative "Justice", many people in the navy felt like they had been slapped, and their faces were burning. The Lieutenant General of the headquarters, Flying Squirrel, regarded this matter as one of the biggest shames of the year. With great attention, he first raised Xia Nuo's bounty to a level far beyond what it should be in the East China Sea, and then treated Rogge who had just arrived. Smoker, who had been stationed in the town for a short time, issued a death order, requiring him to deal with Xia Nuo, who was still at large, in the shortest possible time.

Live or die.

However, the East China Sea is so big. After receiving the order from the summit, Smoker also wanted to capture Xia Nuo as soon as possible, but he couldn't drive a warship to search everywhere every day, right? So he had no other choice but to stop in front of Upside Down Mountain during the period when the wind was at its worst, and try his luck to see if he could meet the other party here.

After all, many pirates who have raised bounties and fame will choose to leave their homeland and venture to the Grand Line, so the chance of success of this choice is not small. What's more, the headquarters originally sent him to sit in Rogge Town. The biggest purpose It is just to strangle the pirates who have not grown up in the cradle at this throat position. Therefore, no matter what, he will not lose. Even if he is unlucky and fails to meet Xia Nuo, he will just take away some of the pirates who come in regardless of life and death. The accumulation of small shrimps is quite a harvest.

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

"Fortunately nothing happened..."

Behind the porthole, seeing the distance between the navy warship and his side getting farther and farther, Xia Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards his room.

Although, for him at the moment, the ordinary East China Sea Navy no longer poses much of a threat, but that is still the case. At this juncture when he is about to climb the upside down mountain, Xia Nuo is not willing to cause anything because of himself. As for the moth, that would not only delay his voyage, but also cause a lot of trouble to the caravan willing to carry him.

Returning to the room in a blink of an eye, Xia Nuo closed the door, sat down by the bed, pulled out Zhepu's logbook, and read it with relish.

In the past few days, his life was honestly quite boring. There was no suitable place on the ship for him to practice his skills. In his free time, apart from eating, sleeping and playing Xiao Luo, he could only lie in bed and read this diary. Barely maintaining life like this.

It has to be said that the experience of Zhepu and his party was full of twists and turns. After Xia Nuo read it roughly at first, he couldn't help but go back and read some details several times. The only pity is that since arriving at the Shampoo Islands, the records in this diary have ended, so Xia Nuo still knows nothing about whether Zhepu has ever been to the New World.

"Speaking of which, we will have to climb Upside Down Mountain later..."

After reading two or three pages, Xia Nuo suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the open window, "That guy Xiao Luo seems to have gone out to fish and eat in the afternoon. It's almost sunset... …It’s time to come back, right?”
