Pirate's Swordsman

♂nbsp; "What's the matter, Captain?"

On the street under the dark night, Ross noticed Xia Nuo looking back thoughtfully in the direction of the pier, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing."

Withdrawing his sensory perception, Xia Nuo smiled slightly, "I just happened to see something interesting."

Seeing that he didn't intend to say anything clearly, although Ross was still a little curious, he couldn't ask any more questions. At the same time, Fujitora, who was following behind silently, turned his head and looked at each other in understanding with Xia Nuo.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, but people were still coming and going on the street, which was very lively. Occasionally, you could meet some short fur people with cute and cute looks, which reminded everyone of Gudong's story before and couldn't help but look at each other. A smile.

After crossing two streets and walking for about ten minutes, a pub with lights still on appeared in sight.

"arrive!"

After taking a look at the signboard above, everyone stopped. Kidd looked inside the shuttered door of the tavern and said strangely: "Is this the Duson Tavern that the guy mentioned? It doesn't look like a big place, right?"

"How big do you expect the pub to be in such a small town?" Delump next to him patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Besides, the reputation of a pub is not based on its territory. In my experience , those with good collections of fine wine are often found in humble taverns.”

"Yes." Kidd nodded.

Everyone joked and chatted for a few more times, but just when Xia Nuo was about to take people in, the shutter door of the Dusen Tavern in front of them was pushed open from the inside, and a dozen drunken drinkers looked at each other with expressions on their faces. They walked out one after another dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? We usually close at eleven or twelve in the middle of the night, but we have to close so early today..."

"That's right, I've only blown three bottles, and I'm not satisfied yet, so it's gone!"

"Hey, I have no choice but to go to another tavern to have a good time."

…………

Amidst the noisy complaints, a girl with light green wavy hair wearing a waiter's uniform stood at the door and bowed to the departing drinkers with an apologetic look on her face.

"Sorry to disappoint you, welcome to come again tomorrow."

Seeing this, everyone in the Gale Pirates looked at each other in shock. Kidd couldn't hold it in anymore. He took a few steps forward and came to the shutter door. He shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, sister, your tavern is closing so early. ?”

"Yes, it is."

The waitress with long light green hair immediately turned around, bowed slightly to Kidd, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, we usually don't close so early, but today the boss is a little unwell. I feel unwell and want to rest early, so I can only do this..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly noticed Xia Nuo standing not far away from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but look startled, and then opened her mouth in surprise: "You...are you the Gale Swordsman Xia Nuo?"

"Yes." Xia Nuo looked at the girl with long light green hair and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you recognize me?"

"Yes, yes, my lord!"

After getting the definite answer, the girl with long light green hair suddenly became excited and even started to speak incoherently: "How could I not recognize you? You... you are my and my sister's benefactor!"

"Eh?"

Everyone in the Gale Pirates were stunned. They looked at the emotionally unstable light green long-haired girl, and then turned to look at Xia Nuo who looked confused.

What kind of situation is this? How can I meet someone who my own captain helped in a small place like this that I have never been to before?

"Is such that."

Seeing that Xia Nuo was a little confused, the girl with long light green hair explained, "You should know the country Dressrosa, right?"

Dressrosa?

Everyone has some impression of this. Isn't this the New World country that has been shrouded in the shadow of Doflamingo's rule before?

Xia Nuo also nodded.

About four years ago, King Riku III of Dressrosa, who was deeply supported and loved by the people, suddenly demanded property from the people and then went crazy, killing his own people. As a result, overnight, The reputation of the Liku royal family has dropped to a freezing point in the country, causing public resentment.

Under this situation, King Shichibukai Doflamingo took over the palace and became a new generation of rulers. The people who were kept in the dark thought they had ushered in a wise new monarch. As a result, Afterwards, I gradually realized that I was actually trapped in hell.

This situation lasted for several years, until half a year ago, Doflamingo was killed by Xiano in the first half of the Grand Line, the big thieves occupied Dressrosa, and the Don Quixote family completely collapsed. This nightmare It's finally over.

Although today's Dressrosa needs to pay a large amount of desserts and delicacies to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms every month, the governance power has finally returned to the hands of the Riku royal family. There is no more bloody arena and evil toys. Home, countless residents can regain their memories and reunite with their families. Compared with the previous situation, it is already much better.

"So, are you from Dressrosa?" Xia Nuo looked at the girl with long light green hair in front of him and asked softly.

"Yes, my lord!"

Recalling the sad incident, the light green long-haired girl choked up and said sadly: "My name is Yukino. I was originally a maid in the palace. I was sent by His Majesty Riku to serve His Royal Highness Princess Violet. As a result, what happened a few years ago After that incident, Her Royal Highness Princess Violet was kidnapped by the Don Quixote family, and I was also injured in the chaos. Later, I managed to escape from the palace with my sister and went to sea to wander and escape. It was just my family Long ago..."

At this point, she couldn't talk anymore, lowered her head and started sobbing.

Poor girl...

Hearing this, everyone looked at her with some pity. This girl looked to be in her early twenties. I am afraid she was only a teenager a few years ago, right?

In such a catastrophic situation, you can still survive with your sister, escape, and go out to sea to this day. How strong must you be to do it...

"Ugh……"

Ivy was even more deeply touched. Her eyes were red, and she stepped forward to take the girl into her arms, patted her back gently, and whispered comforting words in her ears.

After a long time like this, Yukino finally recovered. After looking at Ivy gratefully, he sniffed and continued: "So a few months ago, we heard that Doflamingo was killed by Lord Xiano. , not to mention how happy I was, and from that time on, I brought my sister to this pub, planning to work hard to save money, and when I collected enough travel expenses, I would be able to return to our hometown."

After saying this, she suddenly broke away from Ivy's arms, took a few steps forward, came to Xia Nuo, knelt down directly, knocked her head to the ground with a "bang" sound, and whispered:

"Anyway, on behalf of my sister and my deceased relatives, I would like to thank you, Lord Xia Nuo! Thank you for avenging us and allowing us to return home!"

This sudden scene startled everyone, but Xia Nuo reacted immediately and quickly helped up the kneeling Yukino.

When the girl with long light green hair raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at the redness and swelling on her forehead, Xia Nuo rubbed her eyebrows and sighed helplessly:

"I came here because I had a grudge against that guy. He's not as generous as you think. There's no need for this."
