Pirate's Swordsman

After Mote's death, the war in the Principality of Sambia ended quickly.

Without the organizer, the church became a mess in less than a day. Surrenders surrendered and fled. The rebels took over the royal capital again the next evening and rescued the Grand Duke of Sambia who was under house arrest in the palace. come out.

The old ruler, who was nearly sixty years old, had become gray-haired and old after years of hard work. When he met the Hill father and daughter, they held each other's arms and cried, while Sir Venus and Tower There were also Lesock and others who were choked up on the spot.

Six years, it has been six years in the blink of an eye.

They persisted for so long and went through untold hardships, and finally took their country back from the hands of the villains.

After everyone's emotions had almost calmed down, Xia Nuo and even the entire Hayate Pirates became the focus of the royal capital. Amidst countless admiring and grateful eyes, the Grand Duke of Sambia personally received them with the highest standards. , and held a grand banquet in the palace to express his gratitude.

In fact, the people in the Gale Pirates felt quite confused about this. They knew that their captain had gone to support the battlefield alone, but it had just been two days. In the blink of an eye, the Principality of Sambia The regime was overturned and returned, and then he became a guest of this country inexplicably.

Single-handedly change the war situation of a country

Captain, this is a bit too fierce.

For a moment, all the crew members couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, especially the young boys who usually admired Xia Nuo the most. They puffed up their chests with pride, as if they had done it themselves.

Xia Nuo didn't have much feeling about this. He always adhered to the principle of following his heart when doing things. He didn't like that bullshit church. In addition, he had the habit of helping friends and old friends when he could, so he didn't care about it at all. It doesn't matter how much one's own merits are taken, and being arrogant and arrogant is the stupidest mentality in his opinion.

So he had a great time eating and drinking at the banquet, and he was always toasted by everyone. When he got drunk in the end, it was Daz who carried him back to his room to rest.

So, when he woke up the next day and looked at the mountains of money bags piled on the dining table, his brain immediately went into a shutdown state.

"Are you saying?" Xia Nuo rubbed his forehead, which was a little painful due to a hangover, and said with a bit of pain: "To express his gratitude, the Grand Duke of Sambia sent a total of 500 million beli gold coins."

"Yes"

There were many crew members sitting around the dining table. After hearing this, someone immediately replied excitedly: "There are 520 million beli. The Grand Duke of Sambia said that this is all the private property accumulated by his family over the years."

"You also know that this is someone's inheritance over the years."

The person who replied was Kidd. Xia Nuo glared at the kid angrily, "I took action because of Hill's sake, not for reward. Well, I was drunk last night and didn't know what happened. You can’t refuse.”

"We tried it, Captain." Delump next to him said helplessly, "But the Grand Duke of Sambia insisted that we accept it. If we didn't accept it, he would personally send it to the ship. His Royal Highness Hill was also there. I tried to persuade them for a long time, but I really couldn’t win over them.”

"That's right, Captain, you don't know how determined the other party's attitude was at that time."

"Besides, this is also my wish."

There was a burst of agreement around the dining table. Apparently, everyone felt that based on Xia Nuo's contribution this time, it was natural to accept these rewards.

Although 520 million Baileys is indeed a very scary number, and the visual impact stacked on the table is also shocking, but my captain saved a country, so 500 million is nothing in comparison.

"alright."

After hearing the descriptions of his companions, Xia Nuo knew that it would be a bit pretentious for him to refuse any more, so he stood up and patted the money bag on the table, "In that case, Delump, you can collect these for me later." Go to the warehouse, these are the reserve funds on the ship. If you need to spend anything in the future, just take it from here and leave a bill record."

"Eh"

Delamp was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became anxious, "How is this possible, Captain, these are your personal rewards and cannot be mixed with the funds on the ship."

"Nothing, just follow this."

Xia Nuo waved his hand, "I remember there isn't much money left on the ship right now. We usually have to spend money on food and clothing. It's not a good idea to replenish it now."

"There isn't much left. There are more than 10 million Baileys left after buying the ship last time. But" Delump showed a trace of tangle on his face. He wanted to persuade him to say something, but Xia Nuo had already changed the subject and began to give instructions. Everyone is getting ready to leave.

Although Xia Nuo used decapitation tactics this time and quickly helped Hill deal with the Vulcan Church, the landing in the Principality of Sambia was unplanned. The total delay was a full week, which was not enough. It was almost time to set sail and head out to sea.

"Hey"

Seeing that everyone had been taken away from the topic, Delump couldn't persuade him any more. When he looked at Xia Nuo again, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. This is the captain who is truly thoughtful and generous.

He is not a rookie who has just set foot on the Grand Line. As an old pirate who once served as the deputy bosun in the Second Treasure Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers, Delump has also met many captains of pirate ships, but those people Basically, they put satisfying their own greed first. They try to get as much loot as they can. Not to mention using their own private property to subsidize the flow of funds on board like Xia Nuo. They even distribute it fairly. It simply can't be done.

In comparison, Delump once again realized how wise his decision to follow Shano and become a member of the Gale Pirates was.

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

At the natural port of the southern seaport, the members of the Hayate Pirates who had just had lunch, were greeted by the crowd headed by the Grand Duke of Sambia, boarded the Hayate, and slowly sailed away from this land that had just been baptized by war.

Among the crowd, Hill's eyes were filled with the strongest feeling of reluctance. When she was still working in Arrita's caravan as Evele, her relationship with Xia Nuo was just an ordinary friend, and there was no relationship at all. Intimacy and familiarity.

But after this incident, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two has become much closer, and even because of their similar age, they still have a good impression of each other that belongs to the opposite sex.

but

In the vast sea, the shadow of the sail gradually faded away, and the people gathered by the harbor dispersed one after another. The beautiful girl with silver hair, after standing alone for a long time and looking at it, finally turned around and left here silently.

What should be separated must be separated after all. Xia Nuo has the dream of becoming the world's best swordsman and needs to go on a long voyage to fight. And she must stay to help her old and frail father and manage this country that is riddled with holes. Let the people live a happy, stable and prosperous life as soon as possible.
