Pirate's Swordsman

After breakfast, Xia Nuo summoned the cadres and held a simple meeting in the conference room.

There was only one topic at the meeting, and that was the issue of how to replenish the current shortage of supplies on the Gale.

Speaking of which, this problem existed more than half a month ago. At that time, I was planning to go to the Rapeseed Flower Port in the Kingdom of Alabasta for purchasing. The business there was prosperous and it was a good place to purchase supplies.

However, in those few days, the Flame Pirates sent people to keep an eye on the ship, causing the Hayate to be forced to dock in the Principality of Sambia. As a result, the necessities on the ship have been stretched to the point where it has been delayed until now.

"There are only more than 100 kilograms of flour left. There is no shortage of various seasonings except sugar for the time being. The rice bags have basically bottomed out."

When Delump, who was in charge of the report, said this, he couldn't help but spread his hands, "Captain, if you don't add anything else, we will probably have to live on dried fish in half a month."

"Has it reached this point?"

Xia Nuo also had a headache about this. Now that the ship is far away from Alabasta, it is basically impossible to turn around and turn to Rapeseed Port. "According to the record pointer Hill gave us, the number of ships on our route is What’s the name of the next island and how far away is it?”

"If I remember correctly, it should be called Wolf Island." Ivy, who had memorized the route chart, immediately replied, "But the island seems very small, and it is quite far away, at least twenty years away. It looks like many days.”

more than twenty days

The cadres present were speechless for a while. If it really came to that, everyone would probably be killed by the dried salted fish, even if they didn't starve to death.

"" Xia Nuo was also at a loss. Just when he was wondering whether he should let Xiao Luo check if there were any other islands nearby, there was a sudden exclamation from outside:

"Look, what's over there?"

"It looks like a train? Why is there a train on the sea?"

"Wow, it's so fast and there are so many people inside."

The cadres in the conference room suddenly started whispering, and they all looked curious. It was Xia Nuo who stood up first, his eyes flashing slightly and said: "Let's go out and take a look together."

Naturally, everyone thought so, and quickly followed Xia Nuo and exited the cabin together.

When they came to the deck, they saw a dozen crew members gathered at the railing, pointing excitedly at the sea in the distance and shouting and talking. Xia Nuo walked over and looked up in the direction they pointed, and found that there There does seem to be a train passing by.

The red-skinned and green-roofed train has a steam locomotive, and its appearance is similar to the old-fashioned trains that first appeared during the Industrial Revolution in Schiano's impression. It clanked and emitted black smoke all the way towards the distant horizon.

"It's a sea train"

Ross's surprised voice came from beside him, "Why did it appear here?"

"Hey, Rose, do you know this kind of thing?" Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Of course, I am from the Capital of Seven Waters." Ross came back to his senses, saw everyone looking at him, and hurriedly explained, "This kind of train is a great boatman from our Capital of Seven Waters. It was developed and opened a few years ago, and it is very convenient to travel back and forth between islands quickly.”

"But" he said here, scratched the back of his head, showing a bit of confusion, and murmured, "I remember when I went to sea, these trains were only available on the two or three small islands next to it. This place is seven kilometers away. The Water City is still far away, why can’t we see it here?”

When Xia Nuo heard this, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

As a time-traveler, he naturally recognized the origin of the sea train at the first glance after leaving the cabin, and he had the impression that when Luffy and the others went to sea, the scale of the sea train had spread to the capital of the Seven Waters. There are more than ten islands in the center. Ross has obviously not been back to his hometown for a long time and does not know that the sea train is in a state of rapid expansion in the past two years.

"Follow."

After pondering for a while, Xia Nuo suddenly turned his head and ordered to De Trump, "Since Wolf Island is still far away, let's change our goal and follow this sea train. It will lead us to another place worth visiting. An island to go to.”

Oh, yes

The eyes of the cadres present suddenly brightened, and they all realized that the routes of the sea trains are fixed, with islands at both ends. As long as you follow its route, you can travel without recording pointers to other islands. , arrived at the terminal smoothly

Delamp responded excitedly and hurried straight to the cockpit, while the other sailors on shift also quickly returned to their respective posts.

After a while, the bow of the ship turned, the sails were fully loaded, and the Gale chased the sea train in the direction where it had gone before at its maximum speed.

Soon, everyone saw the tail of the sea train again, but in order to avoid unnecessary panic after the other party noticed the pirate flag, the Hayate did not get too close, but slowed down a little, and then Keep your distance like that, hang far behind.

In this way, the journey was uneventful. After four full days and nights, the sea train finally arrived at the terminal. And everyone on the Hayate behind them, who were about to run out of food reserves, finally saw what they had not seen for a long time. Traces of the island.

What's even more surprising is that although the island in front of you is not as big as the previous Principality of Sambia, the towns on it are quite prosperous and lively. The ports and docks are busy with ships, and the streets along the coast are crowded. It seems that the business is quite developed.

“It’s saved now”

After seeing this scene, the crew members cheered excitedly, and many people even started to gather together in twos and threes to discuss what to eat after landing.

Xia Nuo also touched his belly and showed a smile. Due to the lack of various condiments, the food on the Gale has not been very good these days. Now that he has finally arrived in such a prosperous place, it is really time to open his belly. Had a great meal.

"Anchor and stop the ship, everyone prepare to go ashore."

When the Gale slowly sailed into the port, Xia Nuo laughed and shouted, and the others responded one after another. Some of them couldn't wait to gather in front of the ladder, preparing to queue up as soon as the ship was stable.

However, at this moment, a huge pirate ship suddenly came from the other direction, and with an extremely arrogant and domineering attitude, it squeezed towards the space that the Gale was about to occupy.

"Captain, they seem to want us to move away and move a place for them."

The sailor on duty on the watchtower saw the semaphore on the opposite side and hurriedly shouted down.

The people on the deck naturally noticed this. In an instant, all the officers, including Xia Nuo, looked down and turned to look at the approaching pirate ship with unkind expressions. .
