Pirate's Swordsman

Due to the favorable wind, Xia Nuo left quite quickly. After only four or five minutes, the small boat had turned into a small black dot in the distance, and until his figure completely disappeared in the In sight, Arrita smiled slightly, shook her head, and turned around.

For her, she has always respected Xia Nuo in her heart and is willing to treat him as a close friend. Otherwise, she would not have specially prepared a recording pointer that is fully charged with magnetism.

I glanced at the dock and saw that the goods on the ship had basically completed the inventory and handover process. All that was left was to go to the city and negotiate with the important partner of the family on Duru Island to discuss subsequent pricing issues.

Arrita has been familiar with this kind of thing since she took over the family business. Therefore, facing the inquiring look from Eveel next to her, she just whispered "Let's go" and walked leisurely. Walking slowly towards the bottom of the boat.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed that layers of ripples suddenly appeared on the sea surface on the far right side of the port, and through the sparkling waves, she seemed to vaguely see the light projected on it. of black shadow.

"That is……"

Arrita was slightly startled and looked back. When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, her expression suddenly changed:

"navy?!"

Yes, at this moment, what appeared on the sea surface were three pure white giant warships. On the white sails, the navy's blue seagull logo with a scale in its mouth was even more conspicuous in the glory of the morning light.

"How...how could it be?"

For a moment, Arrita thought of the warships that were chasing Xia Nuo in the East China Sea. She lost her voice and said, "Didn't Xia Nuo take care of those navy ships? Why did they climb over the Upside Down Mountain and follow them here?" ?”

She is just a businessman, so she is naturally not afraid of the navy. But the key point is that the savior who just said goodbye to her, Xia Nuo, a prisoner with a high bounty, just left this port ten minutes ago. ah!

"Miss, calm down."

Behind her, Eveel noticed her gaffe, frowned slightly, and whispered in her ear:

"The Navy has strict regulations. Each branch has its own fixed sea area. This is the Grand Route, so it should not be the Navy in the East China Sea. Speaking of which... I remember that the Navy-17 branch is not far from here, and there are It's very possible that the branch's navy is just patrolling here..."

"Right……"

After being told this, Arrita took a closer look and found that the warship in the distance was indeed different from the one she met in the East China Sea before. It was obviously larger in size, and she was relieved.

However, at this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the side, attracting her attention. When she turned around, she saw several large partners who were going to trade this time, standing together, talking and laughing. , pointing at the fleet in the distance and talking:

"I said, Mr. Tut, is that the fleet sent by the headquarters?"

"Ah, that's right. It seems he just arrived here the night before yesterday. Have you heard about Mr. Yadi who just returned from the sea?"

"Hahaha, of course. As soon as I came back last night, the clerk in the store mentioned it to me. I heard that the leader was still a young general. He only showed up once at the dock and took all the people on the island. All the pirates were scared away, thanks to him, these days

, but finally no one came to make trouble! "

"Eh? Are they so powerful? They are indeed the navy of this headquarters. Speaking of which, the people in the branch cannot be compared at all... Oh, by the way, since you know so much in detail, have you asked about them? What are you here for?"

"As for this, because a few navy soldiers happened to come to our restaurant for dinner yesterday, I actually know a little bit. It seems that they went to the East China Sea to perform some special mission. As a result, the leading general of the headquarters... Knowing what news I had received, I suddenly turned around and crossed the windless zone directly to the Grand Line."

"Listening to what you said, it seems that these navy have received more important tasks?"

"Then I don't know. I just heard those soldiers complaining that they have been wandering around in the nearby waters for the past two days. It seems that there was some disagreement between the generals above..."

The two chatted more and more harmoniously, and the atmosphere on the dock became much livelier.

However, they did not notice that Arrita, who was still on the deck of the main ship but had not come down, was standing there in shock as if she had heard some news that was like a bolt from the blue...

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

Xia Nuo naturally had no way of knowing everything that happened at the port. In fact, due to some coincidence, he left the port from the east side, and the warships of the Navy Headquarters entered the port from the west side ten minutes later, so Both were missed so perfectly.

At this moment, he had already left Dulu Island, and was grilling fish against the wind on the boundless sea.

Yes, grilled fish.

The journey was uneventful, and it wasn't until they had sailed twenty or thirty nautical miles that Xia Nuo remembered that he hadn't eaten yet in the morning.

Recalling Arrita's introduction to the waters near Dulu Island at the port, he decisively took off his shirt and jumped into the sea. As a result... he was actually asked to fish up two 20 to 30 centimeter pieces with his bare hands. Long herring.

It’s really easy. There are so many fish in this sea area. Xia Nuo feels that as long as he practices for a period of time, a person can survive on these fish and have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life. No wonder Duru Island is called A fish paradise.

In the storeroom on the ship, there was no shortage of salt, cumin, and various seasonings. What was even more amazing was that the chefs at the Barati restaurant prepared some iron picks for him, so he simply set up a barbecue grill. The fish was grilled on skewers with extremely skillful techniques, and then he opened a bottle of sake.

Just like that, he was blowing the sea breeze, holding his skewer and drinking wine at the same time. It was so comfortable.

As for Xiao Luo... this guy still had the same bad habit of not liking cooked meat. Xia Nuo didn't force him to try his craft, so he just pulled some dried bacon from the storage room and threw it away. One person and one eagle all ate with gusto.

"Cool..."

After finishing the remaining half of the bottle of wine in one gulp, Xia Nuo let out a sigh of relief. The alcohol content of this kind of wine is not high. When it is first drank into the throat, it is as plain as water. There is only a slight fragrance of rice surrounding the lips and teeth, but the stamina is very strong. At this time, it gradually shows up, and a wave of drunkenness surges from the chest and goes to the mind. Rushing away, a blush gradually began to appear on his cheeks.

However, his mind was still very clear, so while biting into the grilled fish, he summoned the attribute panel with a slight movement of his mind, and then while looking at the data on it, he began to think about his future plans.
