Pirate's Swordsman

At 5:30 in the morning of the next day, before the white fish belly appeared in the east, Xia Nuo, who had already formed the inertia of his biological clock, got up early and came to the training room to start morning exercises.

It wasn't until early seven o'clock that Xia Nuo stopped and went to the restaurant to have breakfast. At this time, except for the crew members who had just slept on the night shift, most people had just gotten up. Seeing Xia Nuo covered in sweat, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Obviously, he had just defeated the King's Shichibukai a few days ago, and the bounty had been raised to 6 million beli. His own captain could still maintain such high-intensity training. On the other hand, it doesn't matter that his strength is far inferior, and he is not as diligent as he is. So much difference

This made many crew members immediately vow in their hearts that they plan to get up early every day during the next voyage, follow the captain's footsteps, and try not to be a drag bottle on the ship.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, the Kidd Kira brothers and people like Dazros have already started a hard training schedule, and have already achieved some results.

Especially Daz, as the second strongest person on the ship after Xia Nuo, of course, this ranking may be questionable after baby5 comes on board. Two days ago, he became the first person after Xia Nuo to realize the armed domineering force.

Although it is still in the initial stage of encirclement, in any case, it can be regarded as opening up a brand new skill tree. In the future, on the road to improving strength, it will undoubtedly be one step faster than others.

As for the rest of the cadres, although no one has yet mastered the armed haki, many of them have begun to understand under Xia Nuo's guidance, and are no longer as confused as they were at the beginning, and are as confused as headless flies. Hit.

This is naturally a gratifying thing for Xia Nuo. After all, as a captain, there is no reason why he does not want the overall strength of the pirate group under his name to increase.

After breakfast, Xia Nuo originally planned to continue practicing Armed Color Haki in the training room, but just in time, Delump came over to report that the next island had appeared outside the horizon and was expected to arrive in less than an hour. .

So Xia Nuo simply gave up the idea for the time being, and instead took a rest on the deck with the sea breeze blowing. He also fed Xiao Luo and Dabai something for a long time, and enjoyed a rare pleasant morning.

About forty minutes later, the Gale successfully arrived at the island, and when he saw the name displayed on the chart, Xia Nuo couldn't help but be stunned.

Some fragments of the memory of "Wolf Island" flashed through his mind, and he frowned and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Delump next to him noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong with this island?"

"No, it's just an ordinary commercial town up there." Xia Nuo shook his head, his eyes wandering around the upper half of the chart, and said thoughtfully, "But I remember that the old man mentioned in his navigation notes that this island To the northwest of , there is a very small island, so small that it is not marked on any charts."

"Hey, what happens next?" Now it wasn't just De Trump, the other cadres were also interested and came over one after another.

After getting along for so long, everyone present knew the relationship between Xia Nuo and old man Zhepu. They also knew that their captain had been given a navigation note by the other party before.

Seeing Xia Nuo suddenly mention this, everyone immediately realized that there must be something special about that island, otherwise their captain would not remember it so clearly.

"The name of that island is Kraikana."

Xia Nuo had nothing to hide from his companions present. After answering this concisely and briefly, he paused for a while, then slowly continued:

"This is the territory of King Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. They never expected that after just settling their grievances with a king, Shichibukai, just a few days later, they would hear another Shichibukai approaching. information.

And it’s Hawkeye Mihawk, who is the greatest swordsman in the world.

Although all the Shichibukai were famous pirates in the world, generally speaking, there is still a ranking in people's minds, and Mihawk, who is known as the world's number one swordsman, There is no doubt that he is one of the strongest Shichibukai in most people's minds.

When they thought that their captain was also a swordsman, everyone's hearts suddenly trembled, and they had a bad premonition.

"Um, Captain" Finally, Delump asked bravely, "Are you planning to go to Kraikana Island to compete with Hawkeye Mihawk?"

"I have this idea."

Xia Nuo smiled and admitted it frankly. He recalled the vows he and Sanji Zhepu made when they first arrived at Barati Restaurant, echoing in the sunset, and couldn't help but say with emotion:

"Speaking of which, he is also the goal that I have always strived to surpass. Now that he is so close, it really makes no sense not to visit him."

"But" Delump got stuck mid-sentence, looking at Xia Nuo and not knowing how to persuade him.

"Don't worry, that's all."

Xia Nuo saw their worries, put away the chart, waved his hand and said with a smile, "As a swordsman, I know that there is basically no possibility of defeating him at this time, but the opportunity is rare, so I have to give it a try. Only then did I know where the gap was.”

Seeing that everyone was still a little uneasy, Xia Nuo thought for a while and added: "Hawkeye and Doflamingo are two different people. He and I have no grudges. Let's talk about it and nothing will happen."

Everyone was right. Although Hawkeye Mihawk is a pirate, it is more of a hobby. He does not have the same bad reputation as Doflamingo. There are countless admirers.

If such a person said that he would do something to take advantage of others because of Xia Nuo's defeat and injury, no one would believe it.

After the discussion, everyone finally unanimously decided to land on Wolf Island in front of us first, find a famous place to have a good meal, and then set off to Krai Kana Island not far to the northwest.

However, what no one, including Xiano, expected was that when they stepped onto the port of Wolf Island and passed a tavern along the street, they happened to bump into a man who opened the shutter door and walked out of it. of drinkers.

He has short black hair, a slight beard, and is wearing a burgundy patterned shirt. The most eye-catching thing is his sharp yellow eyes like an eagle. Just looking at each other unintentionally can make people feel a terrifying oppression. The power contained in it makes people look away subconsciously.
