Pirate's Swordsman

After resting in the luxurious manor for two days, the Gale Pirates finally set off again and left Wolf Island.

Before going to the dock, Xia Nuo and Mihawk had another duel in the open garden. This sparring lasted for half an hour. During this period, Xia Nuo used almost all kinds of methods and showed his swordsmanship to the fullest. However, in the end It was still a pity that he was defeated.

Mihawk is worthy of the name of the world's greatest swordsman. Whether it is the mastery of sword moves or simply the destructive power of sword energy, he can do it with ease and is far more powerful than Xia Nuo.

This is a gap in hard power, which makes people unable to take any chances at all. They think that if they try again, they may have a chance to come back, and they are the kind of people who are convinced that they will lose even if they lose.

Of course, this does not mean that Xia Nuo will be discouraged by this. On the contrary, he is very open-minded about it.

After all, he is still less than twenty years old, and he has only been studying kendo for ten years, and Hawkeye is almost forty years old. As long as he continues to practice hard, he will always have a chance to defeat the opponent head-on.

When you meet a truly strong person, you should have this kind of mentality. If you lose confidence just because of one defeat and are unable to recover, that is not his style.

When the Gale set sail, Mihawk also came to the port in person to say goodbye.

After getting along with him for a few days, he became more and more appreciative of Xia Nuo, not only in terms of swordsmanship, but also in the way he handled things and talked about things, as well as his heart of pursuing the most original and sincere pursuit of swordsmanship.

If when he saw it in the newspaper some time ago, he just thought this was an opponent he could pass the time with, then now, in his eyes, Xia Nuo is already a kendo junior with unlimited potential and worthy of attention.

At only seventeen years old, he had to go all out in the duel. Although he was temporarily defeated, who knows how far the opponent's swordsmanship will increase when they meet again next time.

That's good. Mihawk was quite happy in his heart. When he came back, he drank two more glasses of wine in the tavern and let out a long sigh of relief. With such a swordsman in the future, he wouldn't feel that this sea is too big. boring.

On the boundless blue sea, the warm sunshine shines on the deck, driving away the last chill of late spring.

It was already noon the next day, and Wolf Island had long disappeared from sight. According to the guidance of the record pointer, the Swift Wind was continuing to sail forward along the edge of the Devil's Triangle.

And if nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to successfully reach the next island, the Shampoo Islands, in about half a month.

This is an island that is quite famous all over the world, and this is especially true for pirates. Since it is impossible to cross the red continent from land, all pirate groups need to be coated here, and then dive through the deep seabed. Only by visiting the Fish-Man Island can one go to the second half of the Grand Line, which is the New World.

The Hayate Pirates naturally wanted to take this path, and besides, this was originally part of Xia Nuo's plan. Nowadays, there are not many opponents worthy of his attention in the first half of the Grand Line, even the otaku who plays zombies in the Devil's Triangle is no exception. It is time to venture into a wider world.

The sun was shining on his shoulders. Xia Nuo sat cross-legged on the mast and looked at the people gathered in a circle on the deck below with interest.

In the circle, Kira was holding his rotating scythe solemnly, panting slightly, while opposite him was Daz, who was standing with his arms crossed and an indifferent expression.

This is a daily discussion among the cadres on the ship, which Xiano calls a team-building activity.

Since the official establishment of the Hayate Pirates, this has almost become a routine once every ten days and a half. The benefits are quite obvious. Firstly, it allows the crew to have a clearer understanding of their own strength and progress. Secondly, it can also kill time. Have some fun for the guys.

Speaking of which, in these several competitions, without Xia Nuo's participation, the final winner was Daz. This guy's fruit ability has been developed more and more perfectly, and now he has gradually gained experience in domineering. Satoru, few of the other officers on the ship could even last ten minutes in his hands.

The situation on the field is almost the same now. Kira has tried his best to take advantage of his speed and shot repeatedly. However, after a few minutes, he was unable to break through the defense. Instead, his physical strength gradually drained away and became Out of breath.

"Forget it, I give up."

After another round of fighting, Kira finally put the rotating scythe back into his wrist guard, rubbed his nose angrily, and sighed: "I haven't even been able to touch you this time. How can you see and smell it?" His domineering strength has grown again.”

"Yes." Daz nodded candidly, "I asked Master Xia Nuo for advice the day before yesterday, and I feel that I have understood a lot of things, and I was able to make a breakthrough."

"That's great." Kira was a little envious. He had not yet been able to get started with the Haki of Seeing, Hearing, and He was quite covetous of this ability that could effectively help avoid damage.

However, there are blessings and misfortune. In terms of armed domineering, he has made great progress because of his hard training. He is second only to Xia Nuo on the ship. If he takes a step further and can surround his whole body, he will have a headache against Daz. It should be the other person.

keep it up

Kira muttered silently in his heart, then nodded to Daz and retreated outside the battle circle. As soon as he stepped out, Kidd couldn't wait to come on the stage and jumped in. He bumped his fists excitedly and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it." It’s finally my turn”

Daz's expression became a little strange, and everyone watching nearby also burst into laughter.

"No, Kidd, I clearly remember that you were the fastest one beaten by Daz last time."

"Yeah, it seemed like two minutes or a minute and a half, I can't remember clearly."

"Nonsense, one minute and nine seconds, not a minute and a half, I remember it clearly."

Several people, including Daniel Ross and other cadres, were talking to each other, winking and teasing, which made Kidd's cheeks turn red with anger, and he scratched his neck and snorted:

"That was before. Now that I have just started to use dual-color domineering, my armed-color domineering has almost hardened. Even this bald man can't bully me as casually as before, okay?"

Daniel, Rose and others were all stunned, and the voices of the cheers suddenly became much quieter. Xia Nuo on the mast also cast a somewhat surprised look.

The two-color domineering has already started, and the weapon color is about to harden.

Yes, at this speed, he was clearly lagging behind the main force before. It seems that Kira said some time ago that he started practicing diligently as if he had become a different person, and it really had an effect.

But after thinking about it, it seems normal. Kidd has the qualifications of a domineering king. No matter how talented he is in domineering, he cannot be far behind. But if he can continue to maintain such high-intensity training in the future, this kid will definitely be able to do it again. A bit more powerful than the same age in the original timeline.

While he was thinking this, the battle below had already begun. Xia Nuo quickly retracted his thoughts and prepared to see Kidd's actual combat effect for a while.

But just at this moment, a high-pitched and cheerful bird song suddenly sounded from a distance, causing everyone to subconsciously raise their heads and follow the sound.

The next moment, a slightly larger white news bird flew over in a circle. After looking around, it stopped steadily opposite Xia Nuo, took a letter out of the mail bag, and put it down gently. On the mast.
