Pirate's Swordsman

In his familiar bed, Xia Nuo fell asleep quickly, and woke up more than three hours later.

Feeling much better, he returned to the deck and looked around. He found that the landscape outside the coated bubble was becoming more and more bizarre. Many huge sea beasts that were hard to see before appeared frequently. The Swift Wind had to slow down and carefully navigate among them. Walking through it looks extremely dangerous.

"About where we are?" Xia Nuo came to the cockpit and asked the helmsman who was steering inside, "How far is it from the Fish-Man Island?"

Fish-Man Island is located in the deep sea 10,000 meters below the Shampoo Islands. It is the only place to reach the new world. Naturally, the Gale Pirates are no exception and need to stop there for a while to reorganize.

This is common sense to all pirates who have traveled the Grand Line. In addition, the crew members of the Gale Pirates have also known for a long time that although Fish-Man Island occupies a large area, it has only one entrance. for entry.

This was designed for safety and order considerations. This island, located 10,000 meters under the sea, is surrounded by a huge double-layered semicircular bubble shield with an air layer in the middle.

If those ships that have been coated on the Chambord Islands follow an incorrect path and break into Fish-Man Island, the coating will automatically peel off and merge with the shield on the island. Some ships will also fall to the ground in the middle air layer. Even if they barely manage to break through the shield, the invading ships will be washed away by the seawater in the shield.

Therefore, no matter how powerful a pirate is, unless he has the ability to levitate the entire pirate ship, he can only enter through the only entrance according to the rules of Fish-Man Island.

"Report to the captain, we are now about 9,000 meters under the sea." The helmsman in charge of the shift was an experienced old sailor. Hearing this, he immediately loudly replied: "If nothing happens, it will probably take about an hour." By sailing, you can reach the entrance of Fish-Man Island."

"Very good, keep it up."

Xia Nuo nodded and returned to the bow of the ship. He squinted his eyes and looked far down, trying to see if he could see the outline of Fish-Man Island. Unfortunately, the visibility in the deep sea was too low. He struggled to find it for a long time. Didn't do it either.

On the other hand, Dabai, this stupid shark, was swimming happily behind the butt of the boat. Suddenly seeing Xia Nuo like this, he thought he was looking for him, so he hurriedly swam to the sight of his owner, but he didn't get it. Xia Nuo responded, whined aggrievedly and returned to the stern of the boat in frustration.

Xia Nuo, who was tired of looking at the deep sea scenery and felt a little bored, didn't notice this scene at all. He thought about it and felt that there was no need to exercise if there was only this hour left, so he simply returned to his room. , took out his Shakuhachi from the backpack column.

The whole body is light yellow, shaped like a polygonatum, with rounded edges and five holes, and is about one foot and eight inches long. After all these years, Shakuhachi's appearance remains unchanged.

Xia Nuo couldn't help but scratch his hair. Speaking of which, it has been seven or eight years since he got this Yasuo instrument, but apart from trying it out randomly at the beginning, he really hasn't studied it much. Almost all of that free time was used by him to practice.

Now that he was in the 10,000-meter-deep sea, he felt a rare interest. He should have some hobbies.

Taking out the "Shakuhachi Playing Experience" that was found in Yasuo's silver treasure chest last time, Xia Nuo unfolded it and began to read it carefully.

Overall, the length is not very long, only about two to three thousand words, but the content is very thorough, from basic techniques to deep understanding of artistic conception.

After Xia Nuo thought about it for a while, he picked up the shakuhachi. According to what he said in his experience, the first knuckle line of the middle finger in the lower hand position should be aligned with the center line of the finger hole. He gently pressed it up with his thumb, keeping the mouth flat and slowly. He slowly brought it to his mouth.

woo woo

The piercing and shrill sound exploded instantly, shaking Xia Nuo, who was very close to him, and almost threw the shakuhachi out of his hand. He quickly calmed down, adjusted the way he blew, and started again.

The tone sounded much better the second time. Xia Nuo seemed to have found a suitable rhythm and played all the notes in one breath. After half an hour, after continuous practice, he was even able to follow the instructions given in his experience. Several simple introductory music scores have been played in a decent manner.

This made Xia Nuo a little proud, feeling that he still had some musical talent. As soon as his mentality expanded, he simply pushed the door out of the cabin, jumped up and reached the top of the mast, overlooking the deck below and the surrounding deep sea. He started playing again comfortably.

Unfortunately, it soon proved that this was because he felt too good about himself. The moment the shakuhachi sounded again, all the crew members on the deck shivered subconsciously, covered their ears and looked up in horror. .

Oh my God, what the hell is that sound?

How can it be so difficult to hear this?

At this moment, all the crew members almost seemed to hear the wails of the souls from hell, and the eardrums were constantly assaulted by the shrill tones, which even made people have the urge to jump off the ship.

But the captain didn't seem to care about the sound of the flute he played. He even looked like he was quite intoxicated. What's going on?

"Be patient."

Looking at the entrance to Fish-Man Island that was clearly visible below, Delump took a deep breath and expressed his feelings on behalf of the crew with a sad face, "In a few minutes at most, when we enter Fish-Man Island, Everything will be fine once we get ashore.”

After everyone looked at each other, they could only reluctantly accept this reality. They nodded resolutely and took their positions, trying to speed up the Gale and enter the Fish-Man Island as soon as possible.

So, in the next period of time, the Hayate rushed towards Fishman Island at the highest speed it had ever seen in the past few hours. As the distance got closer, the cold and biting shakuhachi sound , also gradually spread near the entrance of Fish-Man Island.

Hundreds of ships waiting in line at the entrance heard the tragic music at the same time, and most of them had similar reactions to the crew of the Hayate Pirates. Almost subconsciously, he covered his ears.

In addition, among the ships queuing up, there is no shortage of pirate groups that have conquered all the way from the first half of the Grand Line. They usually think very highly of themselves. They can tolerate this kind of noise pollution, and there are two of them immediately. The offended pirate captain commanded his ship to climb higher, turned around and rushed towards the Gale, wanting to teach the blind bastard above him a lesson.
