Pirate's Swordsman

Dazbonis's voice was low, and there was a deep weakness in his tone. It was obvious that the sword he had just reluctantly accepted had consumed most of his energy.

The visitor looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by an excited voice coming from the side: "Xia Nuo, you are finally back."

Then I saw a figure rushing down the hillside. Kidd, a sophomore in middle school, suddenly appeared in front of me. He looked at the embarrassed Dazbonis on the ground, squatted down and patted the opponent's head while tutting:

"You like to pretend, right? The swordsman can't beat you, right? The swordsman is amazing, right? Why is it like this now?"

It has to be said that, among other things, this guy is really talented at attracting hatred. Dazbonis's face, which was still a little sluggish just now, instantly darkened. He roared and tried to struggle to get up, but because of Because his body was out of strength, Kidd easily kicked him and knocked him to the ground with a "kick".

""

Even Xia Nuo couldn't stand it now, but after seeing the horrific wound on Kidd's abdomen that was still bleeding, he didn't say anything and patted the kid's shoulder to tell him to go aside and rest. Then he glanced at Dazbonis, frowned and said: "1"

Daz here finally suppressed his murderous intention towards Kidd and waited for Xia Nuo's answer. When he heard this rhetorical question, he couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Xia Nuo with some suspicion: "What are you talking about?" What"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

Xia Nuo had no interest in trying to get along with the other party at this time. Seeing the other party's reaction, his eyes suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "Tell me the truth, what are you people from the Baroque Studio doing here? Crocodile asked you to come."

To be precise, he was in a pretty bad mood right now. If there weren't certain issues that needed to be clarified first, such as what was the purpose of this guy's appearance on the island, he would have even wanted to kill him first. Slaughtered.

The reason why he was so angry was naturally not because he had not appeared for a whole month due to the increased salinity of a certain salted fish, but because half an hour ago, he had finally walked through the forest with Daniel and Rose. After arriving at the mouth of the river, we found that there was no one there except for a small boat that was only a few meters long.

The large ship that his group obtained from the Don Quixote family was already badly damaged by cannonballs.

Xia Nuo and Daniel were dumbfounded on the spot. Although everyone had heard the sound of cannons before, no one really thought that the other party would be so cruel and directly destroy the ship.

This was a big blow. After all, the group of people came to the small garden to deliver the bones of the cow. There was only such a boat, and the island was an uninhabited virgin forest. Now that the boats were gone, what could they use to go out to sea?

Therefore, after reacting, everyone turned around with gritted teeth and began to search the island. Xia Nuo, on the other hand, was a little worried about Pinky Ivy and others who stayed behind, so he simply called Xiao Luo and rode an eagle first. He flew back to the bonfire camp, and happened to encounter the scene where Dazbonis easily defeated Kid Kira, with an overwhelming aura.

Speaking of which, when he was in the air, he hadn't seen the guy's appearance clearly, but he was a little surprised by Kid Kira's defeat. He knew that a powerful character was coming. It wasn't until he was about to land that he noticed the outfit and the With a hairstyle that is only half a step away from baldness, isn’t he Crocodile’s number one confidant, a user with quick-cutting fruit abilities?1

Xia Nuo had a pretty deep impression of this guy. In the original book, when the plot advanced to Alabasta, Zoro was brutally tortured by the opponent, understood the way to cut iron and entered the realm of swordsman, and then managed to make a comeback. Winning, this terrifying fruit ability, can be said to be a boss-level existence for many newcomers who have just entered the Grand Line.

Of course, although he is also a newcomer, to Xia Nuo, who has been able to cut through steel as early as the Barati restaurant days, this so-called swordsman nemesis is naturally just a joke.

Return to the present.

Seemingly confused by Xia Nuo's series of questions, Dazbonis stayed there for a long time, then raised his head and said with a confused look: "What do you mean by Crocodile's words? It's from the Shichibukai. I’ve heard of that famous pirate’s name, but what is Baroque Studio?”

""

This time it was Xia Nuo's turn to be confused. He stared at the short-haired man in front of him and felt that with this guy's straightforward character, it didn't look like he was acting, but rather he looked like he really had nothing to do with the Baroque Studio.

What the hell is going on?

After thinking for a while, Xia Nuo vaguely remembered that Crocodile should have started planning for the Kingdom of Alabasta in the past two years. Although he had no way of knowing exactly when Baroque Studio was established, according to what he said when he read the comics. In memory, Robin will not enter the Grand Line from the Western Sea until next year, and reaching a cooperative relationship with Crocodile and joining Baroque Studio will only happen the year after that.

Judging from this, the other party's reaction is most likely true. In other words, Crocodile and Dazbonis, a typical pair of master and servant in the current timeline, have not yet interacted.

This time, his question seemed abrupt. Xia Nuo coughed and covered up his previous spoiler behavior. Then he glared at Daz angrily and said, "Then what are you doing here, you're so crazy?" They destroyed our ship as soon as they came up. I provoked you before."

"Because it's a pirate ship."

Dazbonis answered simply this time. He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he glanced at the others and snorted coldly: "Whether it's a bounty or something else, as a pirate hunter, , isn’t it only natural to take action against you bugs on the sea?”

"Pirate Hunter"

Xia Nuo was startled, and then looked at the distance with some surprise. In the grass there, the fat man and the tall and thin man were secretly crawling down the slope while no one was paying attention. "You mean, you guys They are all bounty hunters, they only took action because they saw our ship while passing by."

He really didn't expect this. Although he had the impression that some members of Baroque Studio were indeed acting under the guise of bounty hunters, he didn't expect that Dazbonis was actually a pirate before he joined. Hunter.

"Yes."

Daz noticed Xia Nuo's gaze and looked over. Then he fell into silence. After a second or two, he said with an ugly face: "But I don't know those two guys."

"what ever."

Xia Nuo pouted, it would be easier to handle once the situation was clarified. Glancing behind him, Kidd was bandaging the wound with the help of Ivy. He had pretended to be a harmless little kid before, but now he was grinning in pain, but when he turned his head, this guy was there again. He straightened his face and assumed a calm posture as if he was scraping bones to cure poison.

Ignoring this guy with some pain, Xia Nuo turned his eyes, fell on Kira's face, and then winked towards the lawn down the slope.

Kira immediately understood, nodded, and went down the slope in a few steps. He immediately picked up one in each hand, and with two screams, easily caught the fat and thin duo back, and threw them in front of Xia Nuo. on the ground.

"Very good. Now that everyone is here, it's time to talk about business."

Looking at the fat man and the lanky man who were frightened out of their wits and begging for mercy while crying, Xia Nuo stood up straight with a smile, and then asked kindly:

"So first of all, can you answer me honestly, who among the three of you fired the cannon that destroyed my ship?"
