Pirate's Swordsman

"That's what happened."

After thinking about his words, Xia Nuo turned to Fujitora and smiled: "Uncle Yixiao, there is no need to be too polite. The reason why I attacked Jonst was just because he attacked my crew first and did it casually. "

However, Fujitora shook his head slightly and said seriously to Xia Nuo: "Although you did it casually, what you did still lives up to the name of justice, and you deserve this gift."

Does it live up to justice?

Shano smiled noncommittally. Perhaps when he was still at Barati Restaurant, he was the one who made it his mission to hunt pirates for free, and he could still be worthy of Fujitora's praise.

But now, after so many ups and downs, he has changed a lot from his mentality to his behavior. At best, he can only stick to his heart.

Compared to such boring topics, Xia Nuo actually cared more about Fujitora himself.

It would be fine if they didn't meet him, but now that he happened to meet him and the other party was grateful to him, even if Xia Nuo didn't mean to repay the favor, it would be hard not to be tempted by this uncle.

Of course, the temptation here has no other meaning, it's just that he simply wants to recruit this uncle to the ship before Fujitora has anything to do with the navy.

Although the overall strength of today's Hayate Pirates is pretty good and there is no shortage of middle-level cadres, if they want to go further in the new world, people will inevitably realize the lack of top combat power.

Among the cadres on the ship, those who have not yet grown up, such as Kidd and Kira, are not included. Even Daz, who has mastered the two-color Haki, can only deal with pirates with a bounty of 200 million to 300 million, which is not the same as the strength that Xia Nuo expected. The realm is very different.

In this case, if next time we encounter a more intense conflict than the Jonest incident, Xia Nuo is entangled by the enemy's strong men, and the opponent has other top combat forces, so there is a lack of corresponding strong men. The Hayate Pirates can easily fall into an unfavorable situation.

In addition, in the future voyage adventures in the new world, it will be difficult for the crew to temporarily separate and act separately, and the Hayate, which has lost Shano, must have a strong person who can take charge of it. Just fine.

Therefore, at this moment, one can imagine how intense Xia Nuo's idea of ​​recruiting Fujitora on board is. It has even replaced the daily swordsmanship training he originally planned to do, and has become the to-do list he most wants to complete. .

However, this idea should not be too obvious. Xia Nuo first invited the two of them into the living room of the villa, intending to have a chat while drinking tea and then slowly find an opportunity to speak.

But what he didn't expect was that Fujitora frowned tightly after taking a sip of tea. Then he stood up and looked around with his blind eyes, with a hesitant look on his face.

"What's wrong, Uncle Yixiao?" Xia Nuo looked at him with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with the tea?"

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Xia Nuo took a look at the black tea in his cup. This was a fine roasted tea sent by the owner of the tea shop in Shopping Street to express his gratitude. He couldn't find anything wrong with it when he tasted it himself. ah

"It's a tea problem, but it's not just a tea problem."

Fujitora shook his head and sat down, but there was still a hesitant look on his face. He lowered his head and thought silently for a while before speaking solemnly to Xia Nuo:

"Your Excellency Xia Nuo took action to deal with Jonst. He was kind to me and treated me so politely. I am not a person who doesn't know etiquette. Logically speaking, I should keep my mouth shut, but if I don't say it, I feel like I have something stuck in my throat. I can't find it. Sit still."

"Therefore, please forgive me for Haihan's rude remarks."

Fujitora's way of speaking was somewhat similar to Jinbe's, with an ancient style that was rare in the pirate world. Xia Nuo felt a little dizzy when he heard it, and waved his hands helplessly:

"It's okay. Uncle, just tell me what you have to say. I'm not so glass-hearted."

Although he didn't understand what the glass heart meant, Fujitora still understood Xia Nuo's attitude. He nodded immediately, first pointed to the tea cup on the table and said:

"Although I live a somewhat poor life, I have accumulated some experience through my continuous travels over the years. If I guess correctly, these black teas are the world's top treasures. The price of a small bag is tens of thousands of beli, or even More than 100,000 Baileys.”

Then he closed his eyes and looked at the surrounding walls, and continued, "And the manor here is even more extravagant. I just followed the next step, and it took nearly ten minutes to get to the living room here. There are all kinds of decorations in the corridors along the way. It is magnificent and resplendent. This hall alone covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters, and the exaggeration is simply appalling."

Having said this, Fujitora turned his eyes to Xia Nuo again and sighed: "Your Excellency Xia Nuo, do you know how many poor people there are in this world, and their families live in snail-paced homes that are not as big as your living room?" one"

After listening to these words, Xia Nuo still didn't understand what Fujitora meant, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. No wonder the uncle looked like he wanted to speak but was embarrassed before. It turned out that he felt that his life was too corrupt and corrupt, and he couldn't stand it. verbal advice

This is indeed Fujitora's character and style. He follows his own inner philosophy in everything and speaks out if he doesn't like it, no matter who did the wrong thing or what situation he is in.

A few years later, he dared to argue on the phone with his immediate boss, Akainu, who had become a marshal, because the order did not conform to his own philosophy. This was probably due to this personality.

But I was really wronged

Before he spoke, Gelson could not sit still. He knew the inside story, and he immediately regretted why he had not stopped Fujitora when he opened his mouth.

At this time, he stood up, first bowed his head to Xia Nuo in shame, then grabbed Fujitora, pulled him back to his seat, and then smiled bitterly and explained to him in a low voice the origin of tea and the mansion.
