Pirate's Swordsman

The distance between the two ships was not too far. After about ten minutes, the ship finally arrived in front of the Gale.

"The benefactor opposite"

Before the boat was stable, a strong man behind the railing shouted towards this side: "Who is your captain? Can you come out and meet me?"

This attitude is quite good. Hearing this, Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, came to the railing in person, and said in a deep voice: "I am Xia Nuo, the captain of this ship, who are you?"

Schiano

The people on the opposite deck were stunned for a moment, and then they realized, isn't this the name of the gale swordsman in the Seven Seas of Martial Arts?

"No wonder he can kill the Sea King with two swords," someone murmured to himself.

The strong man who spoke earlier was also stunned, and then saw Xia Nuo's eyes falling on his face, and quickly replied:

"We are the caravan guard of the Roland family. I am the guard captain Mundo. Because the old family leader is seriously ill, this time we are escorting a group of doctors to the island. I didn't expect that we would be attacked by the sea kings. I can survive this time. Come down, thank you very much for your help."

Doctors

Xia Nuo glanced at the deck, and sure enough he found that in addition to a bunch of tough men who looked very capable of fighting, there were also more than a dozen figures in white coats. Seeing him looking at him, they all showed expressions of anger. A look of gratitude.

"Have you heard of this Roland family?"

Xia Nuo turned around and asked softly.

"No."

"I haven't heard of it at all."

The crew members around him shook their heads in confusion, even Boatswain Drump, who had the most experience in sailing.

"It seems a little strange."

Xia Nuo touched his chin and suddenly had an idea in his mind. The tall man named Mondo opposite who claimed to be the guard captain, after receiving no feedback for a long time, felt anxious and took the initiative to speak:

"Your Excellency Xia Nuo, the reason why we came here is that in addition to thanking you for your help, there is one more thing we need to ask of you."

As if he was afraid of being rejected, before Xia Nuo could answer, he poured out all the rest of what he wanted to say, "Our ship can't hold on for much longer, so we have no choice but to abandon the ship. I hope you can help me again." The last time I was busy, I took us to Bingtao Island. After we get to the island, our family will definitely pay you a lot of money to reward you."

"Bingtao Island" Xia Nuo did not agree immediately, but frowned at him and said, "Let's not talk about the location of that island. Do you think I waste so much time sending you to that island?"

The eyes of the rest of the crew on the Gale also became unkind. What does this mean? I just helped save your lives and it wasn't enough. I went so far as to make so many demands.

"You misunderstood." Seeing this, the strong man named Mondo hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "We are not that ignorant, but this Ice Peach Island is really close to here. According to the route, it is at most It only takes two days to arrive, and we also have permanent indicators, which will definitely not take up too much of your time.”

Just one day?

Xia Nuo was a little surprised. You must know that since they entered the new world, except for the small island where the G5 base is located, they have not officially arrived at an island. The island pointed by the pointer in the chosen route is still some distance away. I thought there was another island nearby.

If you think about it this way, there is no fixed route for adventure in the New World. You can go anywhere. It's better to take these people nearby and go to the Ice Peach Island.

And there is also a reward, no matter what, it is considered to be better than nothing.

"alright."

After pondering for a while, Xia Nuo nodded slightly, agreeing to the other party's request: "That's it, you guys pack your things and come over, but first things first, you have to follow our rules on my ship. If you If you are doing something secretly, don’t blame me for turning against you and driving you off the boat.”

"No problem, of course."

The strong man named Mondo was immediately surprised and nodded in agreement. When he informed the rest of the people on the ship, there was a burst of cheers throughout the ship.

"You can handle the rest and be careful. I'm going back to the training room to practice."

At this point, Xia Nuo was too lazy to care anymore. After giving instructions to Delump and others, he turned around and headed towards the interior of the cabin.

The officers who stayed on the deck looked at each other, and they naturally understood the other meaning of Xia Nuo's words, and immediately made up their mind to arrange manpower to monitor these guys 24 hours a day, as long as the other party dared to reveal a little bit. If you have any evil intentions, take action directly and nip the action in the bud.

About an hour later, the transfer and placement of personnel and materials was finally basically completed. After obtaining the permanent pointer from the Mondo Guard Captain, the Gale suddenly turned and sailed towards the Ice Peach Island.

The reason why it took so long is because there are too many things on this Roland family ship, and they are basically medicines and various medical equipment, which need to be handled with care, so even the Gale Pirates Some people were sent here to help, but it was still quite difficult to evacuate them all.

This made many of the crew members who helped complain. Fortunately, Mondo was very good at being a good person. After the placement was completed, he brought a few guards to the cabin to thank them one by one, which made everyone have a better impression of him.

At the same time, inside the training room.

Xia Nuo was standing in front of the iron wall with his upper body naked and breathing heavily, staring at a bottomless pit in front of him.

“There has been some progress”

He whispered to himself, and then with a thought, the dark color wrapped around the tip of his right index finger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The iron walls in the training room were originally badly damaged. Later, when they were on Fish-Man Island, Xia Nuo entrusted Neptune to bring in a new batch of iron plates and expanded them. In the current training room, the iron walls on both sides The walls are all seven or eight meters deep, and the sides are about four meters, which is twice as deep as before.

At this moment, the dent on the wall that almost penetrates the entire iron wall was what Xia Nuo had just made with one finger.

Compared with a month ago when he first mastered the hardening of the whole body's armed colors, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement. It means that Xia Nuo has been able to concentrate all the armed colors in an area as small as the fingertips, thus bursting out with unimaginable power. of penetration.

The finger gun in Marine Type 6 is somewhat similar to this, but it is more like a subordinate existence. After the weapon color is hardened and compressed to such an extent, the power it can produce is far beyond the former.

but

Xia Nuo's eyes quickly moved away from his fingertips and fell on the Arashiri worn around his waist, his eyes flickering slightly.

After all, he is still a swordsman. Compared with the power that the body can burst out, the way of the sword is his true destination. Therefore, being able to condense the entire body of armor into such a small area as his fingertips seems to be amazing, but there is still a long way to go. Not nearly enough.

Only when the control of Armed Color Haki can be improved to a higher level, and the moment the sword is drawn, the whole body's Haki can be condensed at the tip of the sword, and the sword energy is far more powerful than what it is now, for me, this will be considered a great achievement. .

You have to work harder

After retracting his thoughts, Xia Nuo took a breath, concentrated, and threw all the distracting thoughts out of his mind. He soon entered a state of concentration and selflessness again, and continued to practice hard in the training room.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.

In the afternoon of this day, Xia Nuo, who was exercising his domineering power in the training room, received a report from De Trump, saying that he had arrived at Bingtao Island and would enter the port in at most ten minutes.

"It's been exactly two days. It seems that those people really didn't lie."

Xia Nuo wiped his sweat with a towel while walking towards the bow deck, "How about it, those people haven't done anything in the past two days, right?"

"No." Delump, who was following behind him, shook his head. "In the past two days, we have been staying in the room we arranged. We only went to the restaurant together during meals. It was more peaceful than we expected. point."

"That's good."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the bow of the ship. At this moment, many people had gathered on the deck. Looking ahead, they could see the outline of an island appearing outside the horizon.

This is a medium-sized island that is not too big. It is only about five or six times the size of the island of the G5 branch. However, it is vaguely visible that there are many ships coming and going at the pier, and the streets along the coast are crowded with people, making it quite bustling and lively.

"finally reached"

The strong man named Mondo also appeared on the deck at this time, with a somewhat excited look on his face. He rubbed his hands and turned to Xia Nuo and said happily: "Your Excellency Xia Nuo, this is Ice Peach Island. Don't worry, we will be here soon." As soon as we land, we will contact our family companions on the island and cash in the promised reward."

"The remuneration doesn't matter, just do whatever you want."

Xia Nuo shrugged, then looked at this bustling island, suddenly curious: "By the way, why is this island called Ice Peach Island? Is it because it looks like a peach?"

The crew members nearby also looked over, and they were also very interested in this issue.

"Hahaha, that's not the case, Your Excellency."

Probably because he was finally able to complete the escort mission, Mondo's demeanor and tone became much more relaxed. He grinned and said, "This island was actually called Valsta Island a long time ago. It is called this name now because the island It produces a precious fruit called ice peach.”

"This fruit has a sweet and fresh taste, and also has a chill. It can be stored and transported for a long time even in the hot sun. It is very popular in many countries in the New World."

Having said this, Mondo paused and continued to explain with a smile, "This island has been mainly cultivating and selling ice peaches since hundreds of years ago. It has grown bigger and bigger over the years, so over time, for the sake of convenience, it also It was changed to the name Ice Tao Island.”
