Pirate's Swordsman

"Eh"

Harta was obviously taken aback and said in surprise, "How did you know?"

"It's very simple." Xia Nuo shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't the news of the war between your Whitebeard Pirates and the Beast Pirates have been circulating in the Grand Line some time ago? Now that the war is almost over, I happened to see it again. Everyone can guess that you are rushing to transport the reserve medical troops."

"Too"

Halta was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Actually, it's not just Dad. This time our first squad was attacked by Drought Jack halfway and suffered heavy damage. As a result, the brothers in the other squads were unable to get effective treatment after being injured. Treatment, that’s why dad issued an urgent order to call in reserve medical units from various places to gather at the headquarters.”

The first team he was talking about was the treatment team of the Whitebeard Pirates. The team leader "Phoenix" Marco, in addition to being the second in command of the Whitebeard Pirates, also served as the ship's doctor.

"So that's it." Xia Nuo thought for a while and then asked casually, "Then what will be the outcome of the final war? Father Whitebeard is seriously injured, so Kaido shouldn't be much better either."

"It can only be said that both sides suffer losses. To be honest, we really don't want to fight that guy Kaido. We can just replace it with any other opponent among the Yonko."

Halta rubbed his temples, feeling a little troubled, "This guy is thick-skinned and not afraid of death at all. This time, after Dad tried his best to capture him, we tried every method but couldn't kill him. In the end, we had no choice but to let him go, in exchange for the return of our captured brothers."

They're all locked up, but they can't be killed.

When the crew members of the Hayate Pirates heard this, they were stunned and a little doubtful. How could it be possible? Even for the four emperors, this description is too exaggerated.

Xia Nuo was not surprised at all. Kaido has always been known as the strongest creature in the sea, land and air. Let’s not talk about other aspects. In terms of physical strength and defense alone, no one in the world can match him. Even at his peak, The white beards are not as good as his.

In the past few decades, the Pirate King's biggest hobby, besides drinking, was suicide. He often traveled around the world to commit suicide alone, and even his subordinates were missing.

From being hanged, burned, and bombarded by guns by the navy, to landing on an island and leaping from a height of 10,000 feet, there are all kinds of strange things. It can be said that there is almost no suicide method that Kaido has not tried.

However, these are of no use. No one has ever been able to kill him, not even himself.

Now that this topic was brought up, Xia Nuo suddenly remembered a problem that had troubled him for a long time in his previous life. He couldn't hold it back and asked curiously: "Well, have you tried feeding him devil fruits?"

According to the rules of this world, if a Devil Fruit user forcefully swallows another fruit, he or she should be unable to bear it and die on the spot.

"Tried it."

Halta shook his head without even thinking about it and sighed, "And not only have we tried it, the Navy may have also tried it before. This guy just swallowed it as an ordinary fruit. Nothing happened at all. Then after a while , the consumed fruit will reappear in the sea."

Even Xia Nuo was shocked at this time. He originally thought that even if Kaido's enemies tried this trick, Kaido would at most use some special means to drain away the fruits. He didn't expect that the specific details would be like this.

How should we explain this? Is Kaido's fruit ability too special, or is his body just so overbearing and unreasonable?

"Okay, now that we've arrived successfully, let's not talk about this."

Seeing Xia Nuo's thoughtful expression, Harta said with some regret, "Originally, I wanted to compete with you in swordsmanship, Xia Nuo, but the matters explained by my father are more important and I have to bring someone with me immediately. I have left. If we have a chance to meet again next time, I will ask you for your advice."

"no problem."

Xia Nuo also felt a little pity about this, but he also knew that things were prioritized. Now was not the time for discussion, so he nodded and said, "Just call me Xia Nuo. You should seize the time to move things. If we don't have enough manpower, we will I can also spare some time to help you.”

"Thank you."

Halta agreed with a hearty smile, and then suddenly thought of something. He waved to a team member standing on the shore. After whispering a few words, he watched the other party hurriedly leave the dock.

Not long after, the subordinate returned to the shore out of breath, took out a delicate wooden box from his arms and handed it to Harta, who scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, then handed it to Xia. promise:

"That guy from Mundo said he promised to reward you with a lot of money as soon as you land, but he didn't think about whether I, the captain, can take it. I have no choice but to use this instead. I hope you won't dislike it, Xia Nuo."

"It's a blank check. He was helpless at that time. I can understand it."

Xia Nuo smiled nonchalantly, opened the wooden box, took a look, and was a little surprised that there were three record hands of different sizes inside.

"These are three permanent hands, corresponding to three different islands respectively." Halta explained from the side, "The one on the left is the Ice Peach Island, and the ones in the middle and right are Thunder God Island and Ironhide Island respectively. "

"Thunder Island" Xia Nuo was somewhat familiar with the name. He looked back at Delump and said, "If I remember correctly, this is one of the three islands I pointed to after coming out of Fishman Island."

"Yes, Captain." Delump nodded quickly, "Rumors say that this island is prone to thunder all year round and is extremely dangerous, and there is no place to replenish supplies, so when we discussed the route before, we directly excluded the direction of this island. .”

"That's right." Halta said with a smile beside him, "But those thunder and lightning are the kind that ordinary newcomers who have just arrived in the new world are afraid of. I think they are no threat to you."

"As for Ironpi Island, it's a bit far away."

Halta's expression became a little subtle when he said this, "It is Kaido's territory. This time we started a war with him and we stayed here during the war. If you want to go, be sure to be careful of the Beasts Pirates." , they have always been arrogant and domineering, and they like to take the initiative to stir up trouble, so if we bump into them, we will be in trouble."

"I see."

Xia Nuo nodded, he closed the wooden box, handed it to Delump to put it away, and then said to Harta seriously: "These are very helpful to us, thank you."

He was speaking from his heart. It is quite practical to know the location of these three islands, especially Thunder God Island. If you want to take the undersea route to return to the first half of the journey in the future, the permanent pointer of this island can save you a lot of detours. This gift of gratitude from Harta is much more valuable than the hundreds of millions of rewards for the Hayate Pirates who have not yet mastered the new world.

At this time, the transfer of medical supplies was almost completed. After the two chatted for a while, Halta jumped off the ship of the Gale and jumped to another large ship anchored in the port.

"Then, farewell. If you have the opportunity to come to dad's boat in the future, I will treat you to a drink again."

Halta stood on the deck, smiled and waved to Xia Nuo, and then, with Xia Nuo watching, he led his team members and drove the boat away gradually.

At this time, only one of his own people was finally left on the Gale.

"This guy has a good personality." Kidd looked at Fan Ying going away and clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect that as a cadre under the Four Emperors, he would be so easy to talk to."

"He is indeed a guy who can be a friend, but don't think too much about it. The other Yonko Pirates will not be so polite to you."

Xia Nuo ruffled the boy's hair. In the latter's dissatisfied and protesting eyes, he turned to look at the other crew members with a smile, "Okay, everything is settled. Let's go to the island first and have some fun here." It won’t be too late to replenish supplies before setting off in a few days.”

"Yes, Captain"
