Pirate's Swordsman

Sea surface.

It was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining warmly, and the Gale was riding the wind and waves at its maximum speed, heading northwest.

In the training room, Xia Nuo looked at the iron wall with mottled sword marks in front of him, and put a piece of Toyako back into its sheath, showing a hint of exhaustion.

"After more than half a month of training, I can now basically surround the sword blade with the overlord color perfectly."

As Xia Nuo turned and walked out the door, he silently summarized the progress of his domineering training after leaving the Principality of Sambia, "As for the step of hardening, I can basically harden both arms and legs now. , but the duration is still very short, and the timing needs to be precise in actual combat."

"In terms of the domineering power of the sight color, I have made some progress in the past few days, and I am gradually catching up with the mastery of the armed color."

Xia Nuo felt that he did have a pretty good talent in seeing things, and his role in actual combat was gradually reflected.

Just a few hours ago, he found the two brothers Kidd and Kira and tried it in the training room surrounded by steel walls. He was able to perfectly avoid the two brothers with his eyes closed. Raid from every angle.

Even Kira, who was known for his speed, was exhausted and sweating profusely after dozens of rounds, and still couldn't even touch the corner of Xia Nuo's clothes.

This is undoubtedly a huge improvement. You must know that although Xia Nuo's agility attribute has always been very abnormal and his reaction speed is extremely fast, in the melee, he still occasionally gets hit by some attacks from tricky angles because he has no time to take care of it. Injuries affect subsequent battles.

And after initially mastering the Haki of Seeing and Hearing, the probability of such a situation, not to mention completely avoiding it, is almost negligible.

While his thoughts were surging, he had already opened the door of the training room and came to the deck.

"Captain, here you go." Delump happened to be nearby directing the lookout on the mast to adjust the angle of the sail. After catching a glimpse of Xiano coming out of the cabin sweating profusely, he quickly took a bottle of water and handed it over.

"Ah, thanks."

Xia Nuo smiled, took the water bottle and drank it in one gulp. He had been exercising in the training room all morning, and he hadn't even eaten lunch yet. He was indeed a little thirsty.

"Is the voyage going well? How long does it take to reach the destination?" Putting down the water bottle, Xia Nuo came to the railing, looked at the horizon in the distance, and turned to ask.

"It went very smoothly. So far, we have a tailwind, the ocean currents are stable, and there are no signs of storms."

Delump replied without hesitation. He manages the cockpit of the ship and is well aware of the navigation status. "If this continues, we should be able to arrive earlier than expected, at most around 4:30 pm. You can see the Santa Pobla port.”

Santa Pobla is the name of the island on which the City of the Queen of Spring is located.

"That's good." Xia Nuo was very pleased with this, and turned to look at the direction of the second floor of the cabin, "Where's Mahabaisi?"

"It's very honest. I kept my head down and slept there. I ate when I was given food and drank when I was given water. I didn't say any nonsense." Delump scratched his head and replied, "Daz and Daniel were watching in the morning. As for now, Kira and Rose should have gone to change shifts.”

This was also Xia Nuo's request yesterday. At least one cadre must be watching Mahabais at all times to prevent this guy from doing anything wrong.

As for escaping, it's really difficult. Although the tons of fruits of this thing are very destructive, this is at sea after all. If you use the fruit power to break the bottom of the ship in order to escape, this landlubber will not live long.

"As long as someone is watching." Xia Nuo didn't take it too seriously. "When we get to the city and deal with Diamanti, we should find an opportunity to deal with this guy."

Xia Nuo has never been merciful to people from the enemy camp. If it weren't for the fact that Diamanti is really in the City of Spring Queen, he would have dealt with Mahabaisi last night.

After all, that's about a hundred experience points.

"clear."

Delamp nodded knowingly, and Xia Nuo had nothing more to ask, so he let him return to his post. He turned around and went to the restaurant, intending to eat something casually to replenish the energy consumed in the morning.

What surprised Xia Nuo was that at the door of the restaurant, he met Bi Qi, who had been waiting there for a long time.

This uncle, who was already in his fifties, usually talked, laughed, and mingled with the young people on the boat. But now his face was full of tiredness and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not slept well all night.

"Xia Nuo" After seeing Xia Nuo come in, Bi Qi finally regained some energy, forced herself to stand up, and said with a hoarse voice: "Let's return home."

"Return" Xia Nuo was startled for a moment, then seemed to understand something, smiled, and said softly, "Uncle Biqi, you don't have to worry."

"No, I'm really worried." Bi Qi interrupted Xia Nuo, and after a moment of silence, she said in a low tone, "After you made that decision last night, I thought about it all night, and the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it. I couldn’t sleep, and the more I thought about it, the more worried I became.”

"Shano."

He suddenly stretched out his arms and put them on Xia Nuo's shoulders. He stared into his eyes and said sincerely, "I know that you want to avenge me, Boss Tado and the others, but you have to know that the other party is King Seven. Wu Hai is a great pirate who can take both black and white in the new world."

"I know too." Before Xia Nuo could answer, he continued in a hoarse voice, "Your strength has been improving all the time. In the past few months, you have been training like you are risking your life. Even the Vice Admiral of the Navy's headquarters has I am defeated at your hands, I can see all this."

"But, this is really not enough." At this point, Biqi's attitude was almost like pleading, "Uncle, I am not looking down on you, Xia Nuo, Doflamingo's strength and the power of his men are really... It’s unfathomable and far more terrifying than what he shows.”

"It's true that I really want to take revenge. I also asked you to give an explanation to the Tado boss under the underworld one day."

"But, definitely not now"

"You still have a long way to go, and your future is still bright."

When Bi Qi said this, she stared into Xia Nuo's eyes, "Promise me, continue to endure it, and wait until you are absolutely sure before taking action. If you and the little brothers on the ship get involved because of us old guys, Name, how can I have the face to see Boss Zhepu in the future?"

Xia Nuo didn't answer.

The silent atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds. He finally slowly raised his head and showed a relaxed smile to Bi Qi who looked anxious:

"Don't worry, Uncle Peach."

"Just like you said, I won't attack Doflamingo unless I'm sure."

"And now, it's time."

Having said this, Xia Nuo looked at Bi Qi who was in a dazed state in front of him, and with his most sincere attitude in recent years, he spoke very seriously:

"I'm really super strong now."

The flight of several hours in the afternoon was as smooth as in the morning.

Around four o'clock, before dusk fell, Santa Pobla Island appeared in sight, a full two hours earlier than expected yesterday.

And when the outline of the City of Spring Queen was gradually revealed, everyone gathered on the deck couldn't help but let out a sound of exclamation.

The small town in front of us is unexpectedly beautiful. From a distance, there are rows of high-rise buildings and fountains and sculptures. It is several times more prosperous than Whiskey Mountain.

Xia Nuo was not surprised. Although he had never been here before, he still had some impression of the name City of Spring Queen.

In the small theater on the title page of the original comic, there was an exit from this small town. In the picture, after running away, several people from CP9 performed acrobatics here for a period of time in order to collect medical expenses for Rob Luqi's treatment of his injuries. , judging from the background alone, this small town is a place where commerce and trade are prosperous, and it definitely has nothing to do with the word remote.

After sailing into the port, Xia Nuo still followed the straightforward style of acting. As soon as he landed, he led everyone towards the north of the city without stopping.

Mahabais was naturally brought with him with his hands tied. According to this guy, there are a large number of manor villas built near the sea on the north side of the City of Spring Queen, and Diamante is living in one of them at the moment. .

This was quite satisfactory to Xia Nuo. It would be a better choice to be able to fight in the suburbs without having to go into the city and hurt innocent people.
