Pirate's Swordsman

♂nbsp; As a veteran crew member of the Beast Pirates, the big man with a mohawk was quite reliable in handling matters. He lived up to Jhin's trust and completed the order ahead of schedule at dusk the next day.

For a time, many busy people in the newspaper office jumped on their feet and rushed to add this breaking news to the front page of the next morning's newspaper.

So, when day and night rotated again and dawn quietly arrived, the news that Katakuri was defeated at the hands of the wind swordsman Shano quickly spread to all parts of the world.

…………

Chambord Islands, Area 13.

In a bar called "Shaqi's rip-off bar", Reilly was sitting at the bar, drinking wine while laughing and chatting with the owner of the bar, Shaqi.

Suddenly, the shutter door behind was pushed open violently, and a bold voice came from far away:

"Hahahaha, Miss Xia Qi! Please bring me three barrels of beer. I will treat everyone in the pub today!"

"No problem." Xia Qi responded with a smile while holding a cigarette in her mouth, then turned back to get the wine.

And Rayleigh knew who was coming from behind without turning around. He couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Why, are there any happy events? The last time I saw you making such a big move was when Brother Xia Nuo defeated Drought Jack. Son."

"Ha! You guessed it right, Lao Lei!"

The person who came was none other than Kailar, who was also a coater. He sat down at the bar and slapped the money bag in his pocket on the table. Then he took out a newspaper from his arms and threw it on the table. In front of profit:

"Here, the fresh newspaper just came out this morning. You will understand after you read it yourself!"

"Oh?"

Reilly put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the newspaper with great interest, glanced at the front page, and found a bold headline written on it:

[The battle against King Shichibukai Shano was defeated, and the undefeated myth of Katakuri, the leader of the four generals, was shattered! 】

Below is a rather long text report, from the approximate time and place of the fight between the two, to the detailed process of the fight, and the final ending of Shano letting Katakuri go without killing him. And, quite detailed.

However, I did not see any photos of the scene. I only used the wanted photos of Katakuri and Shano, which were put together for comparison and considered as substitutes.

"Have you even defeated a guy like Katakuri...?"

After quickly browsing the report, Rao, who was as calm as Rayleigh, couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes, "It's really amazing. It seems that this little brother Xia Nuo has grown a lot in strength compared to a few months ago. .”

Unlike Drought Jack, who is relatively young, Katakuri is already over fifty years old and belongs to a veteran strongman who became famous decades ago. Before Rayleigh completely retired, he had no defeat against this man. The monster descendants were quite impressed.

I didn't expect that this guy's undefeated legend would be shattered today at the hands of a little guy who had only entered the new world for just a year...

"How about it, you were shocked!"

Looking at Rayleigh who was lost in thought, Kailar grinned and said, "I have expected it a long time ago. Xia Nuo, I knew it when we parted ways in the East China Sea. This must be a future meeting." He is a monster who has great potential, and may even become the world's greatest swordsman one day!"

"You..."

Looking at Kailar who looked excited and proud, Rayleigh couldn't help but smile and pointed.

However, this feeling is understandable. After all, he had this experience when he was young. Seeing a partner with whom he has a deep relationship achieve success is a feeling that is more joyful and exciting than being successful himself.

As for the title of the world's greatest swordsman.

Rayleigh took a sip of wine and smiled at the corner of his mouth - anyone else, he would have thought this idea was too much after comparing it with the current world's greatest swordsman who was used to being a loner. It’s unrealistic, but if it were this guy Xia Nuo…

After remembering the impression the other party left on him when they met a year ago, and the terrifying growth rate of strength since entering the new world, he suddenly drank the remaining wine in the glass, and then laughed:

"You're right, Kailar! That day is not far away!"

Then, taking advantage of Kailar's grin, he glanced at Xia Qi, who was returning from getting a drink, quickly put down the glass in his hand, and trotted out of the tavern.

"Eh?"

Kailar was stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, Xia Qi had already placed the beer bucket heavily in front of him, then took out a long puff of smoke and said sympathetically: "Hey, Kailar , you just said that you will settle the accounts of everyone in the tavern, right?"

"Uh……"

A bad premonition flashed through Kailar's heart, "That's it, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Xia Qi took another puff of cigarette, looked towards the direction where Lei Li's back disappeared outside the shutter door, and said leisurely, "Lao Lei hasn't settled the bill yet. In this case, you should pay his share as well."

"Three special hand-made cocktails, five glasses of North Sea Boer red wine, and ten glasses of premium craft beer, a total of 860,000 Baileys, no credit required, please."

After quietly quoting the price, Xia Qi hummed a little tune and turned around to clean up the wine cabinet, leaving Kailar, who was in a petrified state, sitting there with a dull look on his face.

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

On the broad boulevard, a tall and strong figure was walking leisurely in the evening breeze and the setting sun.

This is a muscular middle-aged man, wearing a lilac striped suit, sunglasses, a black beard, and a healthy wheat color. His black hair is tied into a wild ponytail, fluttering in the wind behind his head. Behind him was a white cloak embroidered with the word "Justice".

Judging from his attire, he is obviously a naval officer.

"What an incredible sight..."

The middle-aged man looked at the particularly majestic Navy Headquarters Fortress in the distance under the setting sun, stretched his body, and let out a sigh of satisfaction:

"I finally completed my mission and returned to my headquarters. I can enjoy a good rest during the next month's vacation..."

As he spoke, he habitually took out a cigar from his arms. As soon as it started to get hot, and before he could take a puff, a hurried shout suddenly came from behind:

"Lieutenant General Maynard! Lieutenant General Maynard!"

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man turned around and saw a young navy captain running towards him from the other end of the boulevard. He finally reached him, panted for a long time and then said anxiously:

"Mr. Lieutenant General, I finally found you! Come with me quickly, Marshal Warring States has something urgent to summon you!"

"Marshal wants to see me?"

Maynard frowned and cursed in his heart, guessing that there was a mission showdown, and it seemed that the vacation he finally got was about to be reimbursed again.

However, he didn't show it on his face. After nodding, he followed the navy captain towards the fortress.

.........

Five minutes later, on the top floor of the fortress, there was the marshal's office.

Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the door. Seng Guo, who was sitting behind his desk, was buried in a pile of documents. When he heard the sound, he didn't even have time to look up. He just said simply:

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Maynard's figure appeared. He came to the opposite side of the desk and gave a standard military salute: "Marshal, what do you want from me?"

"Ah."

Warring States nodded slightly, without saying anything else, he directly pushed the newspaper in front of him and said, "Read this report yourself first."
