Pirate's Swordsman

boom boom boom

Dozens of shells poured towards the Gale in an instant. If viewed from the side, the firepower completely suppressed the Gale for a moment.

But this is normal. Although the Hayate is much larger than the ships of the Gray Pirates, it has just set sail and has not been modified yet. Therefore, in terms of the number of turrets, it is actually a few fewer, let alone The Gray Pirates' two ships fired at the same time.

"Continue to fight back and prepare for a boarding battle."

On the deck of the Gale, facing the overwhelming group of shells attacking, Xia Nuo showed no trace of panic on his face. While giving these instructions, he tiptoed to the front of the collision angle.

"Just in time to try out a new sword move."

Staring at the artillery shells getting closer and closer, Xia Nuo breathed out softly and talked to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

The artillery fire finally arrived.

He jumped up, drew his sword, and unsheathed it.

"Iai Storm Cross Slash"

A low shout suddenly sounded, and after the standard Iai action, Lake Toya slashed out decisively. All sword moves were completed within a few seconds, like flowing clouds and flowing water. The speed was so fast that everyone around him was stunned.

They only saw a few cold lights passing by in the air. Before they could realize what happened, Xia Nuo had already landed from the air again and sheathed the sword again with a calm expression.

"It's over"

Kidd looked at Xia Nuo in astonishment. He raised his eyes and looked at the cannonball floating strangely in the air not far above his head. He always felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Is this really not going to fall again?"

His eyes widened suddenly, because at the moment when he finished speaking, except for those that had already escaped into the sea due to being too far away, all the cannonballs still suspended in front of the bow of the Gale suddenly cracked at the same time and turned into Countless powders scattered in the sea breeze

"Oh my God"

"It's all blocked"

"How can you achieve this kind of swordsmanship?"

Like Kidd who was in shock, almost all the crew members on the deck were shocked by Shano's hand.

In their impression, except for those with natural devil fruit abilities, the shells bombarded by them are still a great threat to the strong ones, and the dozens of shells fired by the opponent actually hit them in just one or two seconds. In the meantime, he was disintegrated by his own captain's understatement.

What a terrifying swordsmanship this is

Of course, this is just the perception of ordinary crew members. Cadres like Drump, Kidd and Daniel can realize more.

The scene in front of them can be completely compared with when they escaped from the Mermaid Empire a few months ago and were chased by Stoloberg's warships. At that time, Shanno was unable to kill them when they were bombarded by several naval warships. With such a destructive sword move, every time he made a slash, he could only block two or three cannonballs at most. If it hadn't been for the big guy like Bone Ox who could block it with a huge shield, their ship would have been blocked. It might have been sunk on the spot.

In other words, during the more than a month of staying in the small garden, Xia Nuo's swordsmanship has once again improved horribly.

After understanding this, at this moment, when all of them looked at Xia Nuo, their awe and admiration instantly increased a lot, and they were deeply grateful that fortunately, such a terrifying swordsman was not opposite him, but own captain

On the other hand, almost everyone on Gray Pirate Tu's ship was stunned for a moment after seeing their first round of bombardment being disintegrated so easily.

Because they were far away, they did not see the scene of Xia Nuo unsheathing his sword. In their opinion, those shells were about to hit the opponent's deck, but the result was that they froze in mid-air inexplicably, and then Suddenly disappeared.

Such a weird scene made many pirates immediately think that only the ability of the Devil Fruit could do it.

"There is a person with devil fruit ability on the opposite ship"

As the captain, Gray also thought so. He frowned, but soon relaxed and snorted coldly: "So what if you are a fruit ability user? This is the Grand Line, and the most indispensable thing is ability users."

"Most people with devil fruit abilities have good and bad abilities. Since they can block such dense shells, it seems that there is no need to think about long-range attacks." After thinking about this, Gray immediately made a decision, waved his hand suddenly, and pointed at the person next to him. The first mate ordered, "Give the order to the gunners to stop attacking, load everyone's bullets, lift anchor and move forward at full speed, get close to the opponent as soon as possible, and have a boarding battle."

“No problem Captain”

Seeing that the first mate, who was also about forty years old, was a strong man nearly three meters tall, he chuckled and licked the corner of his mouth ferociously, "I'll let the young ones prepare now. Don't worry, it's been more than ten years." , we have fought many boarding battles, this time we must let the rookies on the opposite side know what the pirate's fighting style is."

"Well, go quickly"

Gray nodded slightly, and after the vice-captain turned and left, he also pulled out his weapons from his waist. They were two heavy broad swords with slightly curled blades. Although they were wiped clean, they were not clean. There was still a strong smell of blood wafting out from the sheath.

Gently stroking the old man's sword blade, Gray raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of cold murderous intent at the corner of his mouth:

"It just so happens that my hands are itchy. It's been a long time since I've been able to stretch my muscles in person."

The Gray Pirates stopped their bombardment and began to move forward at full speed, as if they were eager to start a boarding battle immediately.

However, they didn't know that Xia Nuo thought the same way. Seeing that the hit rate of the artillery bombardment was not very high and could not effectively inflict heavy damage on the enemy who numbered at least three to four hundred people, he simply gave the order to stop the artillery bombardment and approach at full speed. .

Killing someone with a cannon will never compare to the pleasure of swiping a sword across the enemy's throat with your own hands.

Soon, after a brief consensus was reached between the two sides, the three ships quickly moved closer together. Obviously, in order to prevent the Hayate from escaping, the Gray Pirates chose to flank the two ships belonging to them, one on the left and one on the left. Right, just sandwiching the Gale in the center.

"Young boys, come on for me."

Gray pointed his sword sharply at the Gale, and countless pirates responded with a ferocious roar.

In an instant, the ladder and the hook were used together, and there were many ways to board the ship between the two pirate ships and the Hayate. The pirates who were aroused to murder were like ants attacking a city, lining up. They formed a dense queue and charged towards the Gale in a frantic manner.

"Follow the queue and attack"

On the Hayate, all the crew members who could fight had arrived at both ends of the deck. Facing the pirates who far outnumbered them, no one had the desire to retreat. At the call of Delump, the boatswain, they They formed a meeting formation in an orderly manner, and collided heavily with the torrent of pirates on both sides of the ship.
