Pirate's Swordsman

♂nbsp; Finally agreed?

Hearing Xia Nuo's words, Paco's face flashed with joy as he lowered his head. Just as he was about to raise his head, he heard another slow voice coming from his ears:

"But...it's not that simple to become a cadre as soon as you come in."

Paco looked at Xia Nuo in astonishment. He hadn't reacted for a while - he was a big pirate with a bounty of more than 400 million beli. Even if he joined the Yonko's banner, he was at least a middle-level cadre. How could he enter the Gale Sea? Are the thieves just ordinary crew members?

"you misunderstood."

Seeing Peko's expression, Xia Nuo guessed his general thoughts, patted him on the shoulder with relief and said: "With your strength and bounty, you are naturally a cadre-level combat power. You just want to officially become As a cadre, you need to pass the test of other cadres to prove your strength."

"In other words," Xia Nuo pointed at the cadres behind him, "As long as you pick one of them today, if you tie, you will be considered a pass, and you can officially become a cadre. If you can easily crush and win, you can still It’s not like we can’t consider the vacant deputy captain position…”

"I understand!"

Peco's face was filled with excitement, and he clenched his fists and said, "This is just a condition. I am confident that I will not let you down!"

But he sneered in his heart, asking himself to choose a cadre to challenge, as long as the result is a tie?

Are you looking down on yourself too much?

He remembered that in the entire Hayate Pirates Group, except for the captain Xia Nuo himself, other cadres had not had any amazing achievements or reputations before, and even most of the bounties were even 100 million Baileys. Not yet, don't talk about yourself, I'm afraid even his subordinates Warsock and the others are no match for them.

If you take guys of this level as a challenge, it should take less than five minutes to solve them, right?

"It's good to have confidence."

Just when Peco felt a burst of disdain, Xia Nuo nodded happily towards him, smiled slightly and said, "In that case, then choose someone to challenge."

"Ok."

Peko nodded, then turned his eyes and glanced at the many cadres behind Xia Nuo.

The person standing at the front was Kidd. Seeing him looking at him, he pushed up his goggles and showed an arrogant smile, looking full of provocation and wanting you to challenge me.

"Childish red-haired kid..."

Paco sneered in his heart and looked away - he had seen the wanted posters of everyone in the Gale Pirates in advance, and he was not at all interested in this brat with a bounty of only 20 to 30 million beli.

As for the rest of the cadres...

A young man with yellow hair, two swordsmen with similar temperaments, a blind, fat old man, and a graceful and graceful maid...

Gee, the more I look at them, the more they look like a bunch of rabble.

The only person who was somewhat worthy of fear was the taciturn, short-haired man behind the crowd.

Peko remembered that this guy's name was Daz Bones. He had offered a bounty of over 100 million in a year and a half. He was the one with the highest bounty among the cadres of the Hayate Pirates, except for Princess Ivy, who had little fighting ability. It had been so long now, and if it happened again If he becomes stronger, he will really have no confidence in trying to stabilize the opponent.

In this case, let's eliminate this guy first and choose one from the rest of the rotten fish and shrimps.

However, although they are all rotten fish and shrimps, there are still differences. After thinking about it, Paiko thought that most of the cadres here followed Xia Nuo in the early days and had a deep affection for each other. In public, Defeating them easily might make Xia Nuo lose face and affect his progress in joining the gang and gaining trust.

In contrast, there is no such problem for the cadres who did not appear on the previous wanted posters and who have obviously recently joined the Hayate Pirates. They are the best targets for the challenge.

Oh, no, there is no "we", Paike sneered in his heart, isn't there only one unlucky guy across from the cadre who meets this condition?

Then, it's you...

"I've chosen!"

Under the focus of countless eyes, Peco suddenly stretched out his right hand, pointed at the unlucky guy, and said decisively:

"Sir Xia Nuo, the cadre I want to challenge is him!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction he pointed, only to see Fujitora standing there with a confused look on his face. When everyone looked at him, he realized what he was doing, scratched his head, and showed an honest smile to Peko. .

Shano: "..."

Kidd: "..."

All cadres: "..."

…………

At the same time, in a small manor in the west of Frost Island.

"The Water Ghost Pirates?"

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Bista, who had just woken up, wiped his face with a towel and asked strangely: "Why are they looking for Xiano this early in the morning?"

Last night, he was depressed because of his defeat at the hands of Xia Nuo, so he was taken to drink by his subordinates. After he came back, he fell into a deep sleep, so he got up much later than usual. Before he got enough sleep, he was beaten by his subordinates who came to report. Wake up.

"It seems that he has announced that he will join the Hayate Pirates."

The subordinate who reported the report was the slender red-haired beauty outside the training ground before. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "But these guys are so aggressive. There are five to six hundred people there at once. Will they cause any trouble?"

"stir up trouble?"

Bista was carefully twirling the water drops on his beard, and snorted coldly when he heard this, "This is the territory of our Whitebeard Pirates, and those idiots don't even dare to do it with the courage of two of them."

"But..." At this point, a look of suspicion flashed in Bista's eyes. He touched his chin and muttered, "It sounds a bit strange to join the Gale Pirates. That water ghost Paiko, isn't it? He looks like a guy who is willing to be inferior to others..."

"Let's go, call a few people and come with me."

Thinking of this, Bista put down the towel in his hand and made a decision, "If you dare to target our friends from the Whitebeard Pirates, I want to see what those guys want to do!"

…………

five minutes later.

Near the Aix Hotel, in front of a cleared open space, Paiko and Fujitora each stood at one end, while the surroundings were surrounded by crowds of spectators.

In the corner, several cadres of the Water Ghost Pirates were watching the situation on the field, putting their heads together and discussing in low voices that only they could hear.

"I really didn't expect that the captain was so courageous this time. In order to gain the trust of Xia Nuo, he even temporarily gave up his position as captain."

"I can't help it. The kids are so ignorant that they actually started scolding each other in person. That guy has a good temper. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of executing just a dozen people..."

"Yes."

Thinking of his captain's cruel methods on weekdays, even the vice-captain Worsock couldn't help but nodded in agreement. After chatting for a few more words along the topic, he turned his head and looked at Fujitora who was standing there with his eyes closed, and suddenly hehe He laughed: "But speaking of it, the captain is really good at choosing..."

"Yes, although this old guy is a cadre, he seems to have only joined the Hayate Pirates in the past few months. Judging from his blindness, he is probably not very strong. As long as the captain uses a little more real skills, he should be able to do it quickly. Will the battle end?"

"It only takes a few minutes to survive. In fact, no matter how long it takes, this old guy will probably lose his face after being defeated. It is very embarrassing to be easily defeated by a new cadre."

"Hahahaha, after you said that, I really feel more and more that he is an unlucky guy. I'm starting to sympathize with him a little bit."
