Pirate's Swordsman

"Da...Sir Dasqi."

Just when Dasqi was in despair, a timid voice suddenly came from behind. Dasqi was suddenly startled, and then looked back in disbelief, only to see a navy soldier with a bloody face trying to get up from the ground with difficulty.

"Dinan?" Dasqi's body was shaken and her eyes widened, "You...are you still alive?"

This soldier was very young, he looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance was very ordinary. But because he was the only navy in Rogge Town that was younger than him, Dasqi was very impressed by him. At this time, for the first time Recognized immediately.

Dasqi hurriedly stepped forward and helped the soldier named Dinan up from the ground. Only then did Dasqi realize that the posture of his legs was a bit strange, especially his right leg, which seemed to have been fractured. She stood up hurriedly. He stood up and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go to the storage room to see if there are any bandages, medicines, etc., and I'll bandage it for you."

"No, no need..."

To Dasqi's surprise, after she finished saying this, Dinan hurriedly grabbed her leg and stopped her movement, and then showed a trace of shame in his doubtful eyes. Se: "I, I'm actually fine."

As he said that, he stood up straight, as if he didn't want Dasqi to misunderstand, and deliberately shook his legs to show that he was not injured.

"What?" Dasqi was stunned and said subconsciously: "Then you just..."

"There's nothing we can do. That pirate named Xia Nuo is really scary." Dinan scratched his head and said with embarrassment: "We can't do anything about him at all. The bullets have been blocked, but we don't want to die yet. Ah, I had no choice but to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead."

At this point, he covered his chest again and said happily: "Fortunately, that guy didn't notice, otherwise, today would really be over."

"Pretend... to die?"

Dasqi's eyes were glazed over for a second, then he reacted immediately, grabbed Dinan's collar with an angry look, shook it hard, and roared: "What nonsense are you talking about! That's fighting pirates Ah, as a navy, how could you do such a thing?! Aren’t you ashamed?”

"There's nothing I can do, sir..." Dinan was dizzy for a while, and after a while he managed to show a helpless expression and muttered: "Besides, I'm not the only one, why do you just treat me like this? "

"You're not the only one?"

Dasqi was stunned, and then looked back quickly as if she had reacted.

As a result... as soon as I saw it, among the corpses lying sideways and on the deck, there were seven or eight navy soldiers helping each other to sit up. When they saw Dasqi's shocked eyes, these people looked at each other. They glanced at each other and showed embarrassed expressions.

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

Towering and steep, this is the first impression that comes to everyone who first arrives at Diandai Mountain.

At this moment, in the upper part of Upside Down Mountain, in the turbulent water, nine huge merchant ships were heading towards the top of the mountain in the shape of a long snake.

All the ships did not spread their sails, but instead furled them, so as to avoid the conflict between the wind and the direction of the current to the greatest extent. Due to the tilt angle of the ships, the crew did not dare to stand as arrogantly as before. On the deck, most people returned to the cabin, and only a few people remained to help the helmsman maintain the course to avoid unexpected events.

Unable to respond in time.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. For example, on the main ship at this time, there were two slim women standing at the door of the cabin. The young woman in the lead had a graceful temperament and a slender cigarette between the fingers of her right hand. The smoke was lingering, and the young woman's eyes were staring at the sea current in front of the boat, as if she was worried about something.

The woman behind was a little older, standing there like a sculpture, motionless. She obviously had a head full of bright red hair, but her face had a cold look, without any emotion.

These two people are naturally the hostess of the Drumon family, Arrita, and her personal bodyguard, Evell.

"Well... we are about to climb the Upside Down Mountain..."

Looking at the getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Arrita slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, with a trace of nostalgia on her face. She suddenly smiled, pointed to a place on the sea and said: "There... Ivor , you remember, right? That’s where we first met.”

"..."

Eveel looked at the direction pointed by the slender and delicate finger, was silent for a while, and then nodded slightly.

"I knew you would react like this."

Arrita curled her lips, but didn't care. She smiled and teased: "Two years ago, when I rescued you here, you were not of such a temper. Instead, you stayed with me for two years. After the escort, you became more and more taciturn. In my opinion, you must have some secrets that only you know, right?"

Eveel shook her head and said softly: "It's nothing."

"Although I was only half-joking just now, I am really worried about you. It's not a good thing to be depressed all the time."

Arrita dusted off the cigarette ashes, then turned around, glanced at Ivor, and her tone suddenly became serious: "How about, after returning from the Grand Line this time, the agreement between us will end, I I’ll pay you three years’ salary in advance, and from now on, you don’t have to follow me all the time.”

"..." Eveel still didn't speak for a long time, but there was a glimmer of consideration in her eyes, and she was obviously a little tempted, but after a long time, she still shook her head.

"When you rescued me from the sea, I promised to stay with you as a guard for three years until the Drummond family truly grew stronger."

Eveel looked at Arrita with her clear eyes and said in a calm voice, "Although the Drummond family is now on the right track, things like promises must not be broken easily, not to mention that I'm gone. If you do, your safety cannot be guaranteed, so please don’t say that again in the future.”

"You, I knew it."

Arrita sighed helplessly. Just when she was about to say something else, there was a soft "squeak" sound from behind, and the wooden door was pushed open from the inside. A man with wet hair and clothes who had obviously just changed A handsome young man in a black sweatshirt suddenly appeared at the cabin door.

"Eh?"

Arrita was stunned immediately. She looked at the handsome young man in front of her and said with some disbelief: "You have only been back for less than two minutes, right? Didn't I just ask you to take a shower? You will be fine so soon?"

"Yeah, okay."

The handsome young man was naturally Xia Nuo. Hearing this, he looked at Arrita with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong? Is it weird? Why don't you just take a shower? Two minutes is too long for me..."
