Pirate's Swordsman

"I see."

After listening to Mundo's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Xia Nuo, on the other hand, had thought about it and planned to go to the fruit stall on the island later. If the price of this thing is not too outrageous, he would buy a batch and keep it in the storage room.

After all, if you are sailing on the sea for a long time, fruits containing vitamin C are absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, unless your physique is as strong as his own, you will easily suffer from scurvy.

Since this fruit called ice peach has its own refrigeration effect and can be stored for a long time, it is naturally a better choice than oranges for the Gale Pirates who currently have sufficient funds.

Once the conversation started, it was difficult to stop. After Bingtao, Mondo introduced some other customs and customs of the island. Everyone basically listened with interest, and before they knew it, the Gale had already entered. port, docking towards the shore.

At this time, someone finally began to discover something was wrong.

The first one to notice was Kira. He was a special case. He was not very interested in what Mondo introduced. He was still thinking about the way of seeing, hearing, and color that Xia Nuo taught him yesterday.

After the boat slowed down, he subconsciously looked up at the shore. As a result, he suddenly discovered that a large number of pirates were converging towards the dock from the streets of distant towns.

"Brother Xia Nuo."

After watching for a while, he finally couldn't sit still anymore after seeing more and more pirates gathering together. He quietly came to Xia Nuo's side and said solemnly, "Something is wrong. We seem to be surrounded."

"Um"

His voice was not loud, but several people around him, including Xia Nuo, heard it and looked at the shore, and then their expressions suddenly darkened.

"What does it mean"

Xia Nuo looked at Mondo coldly. The latter was stunned and let out a sigh. Just as he was about to say something, Kidd from behind suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted it. He almost rolled to the ground in pain and shouted hurriedly. Said: "Misunderstanding, purely misunderstanding."

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the group of pirates on the shore. Immediately, a figure suddenly stepped out, and in a flash he came to the railing of the Gale. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and shouted in a low voice. He slashed down at Kidd below.

嗤

Before the sword blade reached him, a bit of cold sword energy had already dispersed. Kidd's face turned pale, and just as he was about to dodge, another sound of breaking wind suddenly came from beside him. The next moment, a slender and slender sword appeared. The sword blade suddenly appeared above Kidd's head and stopped the sword strike.

boom

The sword energy collided, and the aftermath instantly shook the people around them several meters away. When they finally stood still, they found that Xia Nuo had drawn his sword in his hand and was quietly blocking in front of them.

"Emergency situation," Kidd immediately turned his head and yelled toward the cabin, "An enemy is coming, everyone is ready to fight."

"clear"

The crew responded very quickly. Almost as soon as they finished speaking, everyone on the deck gathered beside the railing with weapons in hand, and the gun ports on the ship's side also opened one after another, aiming at the pirates on the shore.

Seeing the muzzle of the gun pointed at them, these pirates not only did not run away in panic, but immediately dispersed. After keeping a certain distance from each other, they turned around and pointed their weapons at the Hayate, showing that they were quite well-trained. Plain look.

But at this tense moment, Xia Nuo did not make any move. He and the guy opposite who suddenly rushed to attack the ship were looking at each other with strange eyes.

The reason why Xia Nuo felt weird was simple. The guy opposite looked familiar. He was very short, only about 1.6 meters tall, with short brown hair. He was wearing a white and green uniform in a medieval classic style. He had a delicate and cute appearance. It was a bit unclear whether he was a man. It's female.

But that's just familiarity. There are too many characters in the original One Piece. Unless they are more important or appear earlier, it's really hard for Xia Nuo to remember them.

The guy opposite seemed to recognize Xia Nuo. After sizing him up for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back. He put away the sword first and frowned: "You are Xia Nuo, the powerful swordsman of the Qibuhai King."

"it's me."

Seeing this, Xia Nuo also took back the Lanqi in his hand, stared at the other party and said: "Who are you and why do you want to attack my crew?"

"I am Harta, captain of the twelfth division of the Whitebeard Pirates." The guy said calmly. After a pause, he looked at Mondo, who was being pinned to the ground by Kidd, and said in a deep voice, " I was just trying to save my team members, and it seems like there was some misunderstanding."

Whitebeard Pirates

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the Gale suddenly took a breath and looked at each other, feeling a little unbelievable that these guys on the opposite shore were actually the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Who is Whitebeard?

That was a legendary pirate of the same generation as Roger, the leader of the Four Emperors, and known as the strongest man in the world.

The Whitebeard Pirates have 16 divisions with a total of 1600 elite pirates. In addition, they also have 43 New World Pirates, with a total of tens of thousands of people. The undisputed number one pirate group in the world today

The guy opposite who looks like a teenager is actually one of the sixteen captains under Whitebeard.

"Harta" Xia Nuo's eyes flickered slightly at this moment, and his heart was also full of surprises.

After the other party reported his family name, he finally registered it with the few impressions in his mind. If he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be a swordsman who majored in swordsmanship. No wonder the sword exploded just now. Even he was a little frightened by the sword energy coming out.

At this time, Mondo, who was pinned to the ground by Kidd, finally struggled to get up with a bruised face and a bruised face. He looked a little aggrieved, but Harta opposite him frowned, stared at him and asked:

"Mundo, didn't you say on the phone the day before yesterday that you were in danger, but the signal was cut off before you finished speaking, and now you are here fine, and you even took a ship on the Shichibukai. What is going on?"

"You can't blame me, Captain."

Mondo was scolded, and he immediately felt even more aggrieved, "I already shouted in advance that this was a misunderstanding. Who knew you two would strike faster than the other?"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he saw Harta and Xia Nuo staring at him with unkind eyes at the same time. He immediately and wisely gave up the accusation and started talking about the key points from the beginning.

It turns out that Mondo's ship is not actually a merchant ship of the Roland family at all, but a transport ship temporarily deployed by the Whitebeard Pirates. The guards on board, such as Mondo, are all members of the 12th Division.

Although those people in white coats on the ship are indeed real doctors, they are also peripheral medical troops affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates.

According to the orders from above, these medical troops were supposed to arrive at Hingtao Island under the escort of Mondo and others, and meet up with Captain Halta of the 12th Division who was temporarily stationed here.

Unexpectedly, I was unlucky and was attacked by Neptunes on the way. In a panic, I used a phone bug to call for help, but the huge waves set off by Neptunes interfered with the magnetic field signal, so that Halta could not hear clearly what was going on here. If there was any danger, the call would be hung up.

What happened next was what Xia Nuo knew. In order to return to Hyoutao Island without causing any surprises, Mondo lied about being a guard of the Roland family and asked the Gale Pirates to bring them over.

On the Harta side, after being confused, they sent out ships to inquire about the situation and set up surveillance eyes at the Ice Tao Island Pier. That's why they immediately got the news when Mondo and the others entered the port. After learning the news, he led his people over and mistakenly thought that Kidd was going to harm his team members, so he took the lead in attacking.

The matter was clarified at once, and both sides felt a little embarrassed. Xia Nuo patted Kidd, who was looking ashamed, on the shoulder, and waved his hand to indicate to his subordinates to lift the fighting status, while Halta glared angrily. His eyes were hooded, then he turned his head, bowed solemnly to Xia Nuo, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Sir Xia Nuo, we just repaid a favor with a grudge. I didn't expect that there would be such a big misunderstanding."

Xia Nuo was indeed a little angry at first. Although he had saved Mondo and the others just casually, mainly for trial and experience, no matter what, no one would be happy if they encountered such a situation where good intentions were not rewarded.

However, seeing that Halta's attitude was so upright at this moment, he couldn't say anything more. He sighed softly and said: "Don't feel too guilty. It's really not your fault. It's just unlucky that you have a slow-tongued attribute." Come on, I also have an impatient boy here."

As soon as these words came out, Kidd and Mondo blushed in shame at the same time. When the others saw their embarrassment, they all laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere at the dock suddenly completely dissipated.

Halta also shook his head and laughed. When he looked at Xia Nuo, he suddenly felt a lot closer to him. This guy became a Shichibukai at a young age. Even his father had heard of his name. He originally thought he would be a domineering and ignorant person. But now it seems that he is quite easy to get along with.

After thinking about it, Halta felt that it was better to talk about some things openly and be more frank with each other. It would make him look petty to let the other party know the whole story.

"Your Excellency Xia Nuo, maybe you don't know yet, but you really helped us a lot this time."

He glanced at the medical troops brought over on the ship, sighed softly, and said to Xia Nuo:

"If these medical troops are really killed at the hands of the Sea Kings, then not only Mundo, but also I will have to apologize to the rest of the brothers on the ship, and will be in shame and uneasiness for a long time from now on, and it will be difficult to raise my head."

"Eh"

Hearing what he said was so serious, the crew members of the Hayate Pirates next to him were stunned, while Xia Nuo looked at the faces of the other members of the 12th Division that became heavy at the same time, and suddenly figured out something, and whispered softly asked:

"Is it related to Whitebeard's injury?"
