Pirate's Swordsman

When Xia Nuo woke up from his coma, the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling and the porthole window next to him. The sea outside the window was floating white, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning was softly shining on the room.

He immediately realized that he was already lying on the bed in the bedroom.

"Cough cough..."

Still feeling a little dizzy, Xia Nuo struggled to sit up. Unexpectedly, he pulled the wound on his chest, causing him to cough violently.

When he lowered his head, he saw that his upper body was naked and covered with bandages. There were traces of medicine being applied to many places. Even several large, nearly fatal wounds were sewn up with needles and threads.

"Ok?"

After noticing this, Xia Nuo frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

He was not surprised by the bandages and potions on his body, because since he was still alive, his injuries would naturally be bandaged and treated by his partners, just like what he had experienced after escaping from death several times before.

But who performed the suturing of these wounds? The movement of the needle and thread was as perfect as a work of art. Xia Nuo couldn't remember anyone on the ship being able to do such exquisite clinical surgical techniques.

After all, Ivy, who is usually responsible for treating the wounded and bandaging them to stop bleeding, although she has some experience in medical skills, is not a professional doctor after all.

Squeak.

At this moment, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and Ivy's figure appeared at the door. She was holding a basin of hot water in her hand and a medical kit under her arm. She was obviously ready to change Xia Nuo's bandage.

"Eh?"

Seeing Xia Nuo who had woken up, she was slightly startled, then showed a look of surprise: "You finally woke up!"

"yes……"

Xia Nuo also smiled. He moved his body back and leaned against the wall. After Ivy came to the bed, he asked in a low tone: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's not that long. From yesterday noon to now, it's probably only a dozen hours."

Ivy skillfully untied Xia Nuo's bandage, and while wiping his body with hot water, she replied softly: "Now that we have left the Totland sea area, everyone has evacuated safely, you don't have to worry."

As if feeling Xia Nuo's puzzled gaze, she smiled and took the initiative to explain: "It's our old friend who has come to support. Here, look over there."

As she spoke, she pointed out the window. Xia Nuo looked in the direction she was pointing and discovered that there was an extremely large pirate ship a few hundred meters to the southeast, sailing side by side with the Gale. .

"That is……"

After vaguely seeing some tall figures on the deck of the pirate ship, he couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of astonishment: "Giant Pirates?"

"That's right."

Ivy has finished wiping his body and is bending down to take out a new bandage from the medical box: "You were picked up by Xiao Luo just after you passed out at noon yesterday. They arrived at the battlefield. When they saw Big, they even pulled her out of the way. The sky forced me to come down."

"and after?"

Xia Nuo couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "You were seriously injured by me when you were a big guy, were you killed in the end?"

In his opinion, the strength of Brockie and Dongli together should be similar to his current self, and compared with the uninjured Big, it is only slightly inferior.

In this case, there should be a good chance to take advantage of the situation and directly kill the big field.

"No."

Ivy shook her head with some regret, "Uncle Brockie and Uncle Dongli are both very strong, but the big guy is simply a monster. The more serious the injury, the crazier he fights. In the end, he fought to a draw with the two uncles, cake." The island is almost flattened, but we still can’t tell the final winner.”

"Is that so..."

Xia Nuo's originally tense body relaxed, and he leaned back against the wall with a slightly regretful expression. But after thinking about it for a while, he figured it out.

The terrifying existences of the level of the Four Emperors all have monster-level bodies. Even if they only have one breath left, the energy they erupt in the end cannot be underestimated. In the original timeline, four years later, it is the war period. Whitebeard is the best example.

Expecting Big to be directly defeated and killed in this situation is still too much for granted.

"Actually, although the draw lasted for a long time and there was no winner, I feel that if the fight continues, the big side will definitely be exhausted first."

While Ivy put a brand new bandage on Xia Nuo, she explained softly: "It's just that without Xiao Luo's restraint, the reinforcements from the outer islands finally arrived. There were too many of them. Tens of thousands of people came, and many of them were cadres."

"In this case, even if the giant warriors brought by the two uncles were able to fight one against ten, they could not resist in the end, so they had to change their strategy and follow Uncle Yixiao's suggestion, and fight with us While reuniting, we fought and retreated, and began to gradually evacuate to the outside of the island."

"It's the right thing to do."

Xia Nuo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Even if I were commanding over there, I would choose this way. After all, the numerical disadvantage is too great, and the opponent is a fresh force. In this case, we are not even qualified to completely defeat the enemy. .”

"Uncle Yixiao also stressed that at the time." Ivy added, "He spent a lot of effort to persuade Uncle Brocky and the others. It seems that these giant warriors came here with the belief that they must die for revenge. , I have no intention of going back alive at all.”

"That's understandable."

Xia Nuo recalled the history of Elbaf and sighed, "The hatred between them and Big is really too deep. It is related to the glory of the giant family, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand their beliefs."

At this point, he suddenly fell silent, and Ivy seemed to realize something, bit her lip and said no more.

"Just tell me directly..."

After a moment, Xia Nuo finally spoke in a low voice, "There is no point in hiding it. What are the casualties on our ship in this war?"

"This one……"

Ivy hesitated for a while, and then under Xia Nuo's gaze, she whispered sadly: "Twenty-five people were slightly injured, 12 people were seriously injured, and... there were four other crew members that we couldn't save. Died in battle on Cake Island..."

"..."

Xia Nuo pursed her lower lip, closed her eyes, and did not respond for a long time.

"In addition, six giants from the Giant Pirates also died in the battle, and basically everyone else was injured."

Ivy was silent for a while, and then continued softly: "But fortunately this time, they brought the two best doctors in Elbaf Village, so the seriously injured people on our two ships, Your basic life is fine, and they also performed the surgery on your wounds."

"What about the big thieves? Besides the destroyed Cake Island, what price did they pay?" Xia Nuo's voice was hoarse.

"Their casualties were also huge." Ivy said, "Not to mention ordinary soldiers, we killed quite a few cadres with bounties on their heads. There were also a few big boys among them, including Snag, one of the four generals. In the end, he died at the hands of Uncle Fujitora."

"Is it……"

Xia Nuo murmured, but still felt a blockage in his heart. Compared with the departure of his partner, these news did not make him feel much better.

After a while, he finally opened his eyes and sighed softly: "Help me up. I'm going to go for a walk on the ship to see how everyone's injuries are recovering."

"In addition, let Drump make preparations and hold a funeral on the deck in the evening, as a farewell to our lost friends..."

Ivy's eyes were slightly red, and she finally held back the tears in her eyes, and nodded vigorously:

"Ok!"

…………

When the Hayate Pirates were still licking their unhealed wounds, the entire ship was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

The battle that took place on Cake Island was finally fermented overnight. From the dawn of the next day, it spread to all parts of the world through the newsbirds of major newspapers.

The speed at which the news appeared in the newspapers this time can be said to be the fastest in history, and the reason for this is precisely because Morgens, the biggest giant in the newspaper industry, was acting as a temporary reporter at the scene of Cake Island at that time.

It is precisely because of this that the relevant reports are extremely detailed, not only spending a lot of space to explain the causes and consequences of the entire war as well as the final outcome, but also accompanied by a large number of high-definition photos taken by Morgans himself.

There is so much shocking information in these photos, not only the scene of the great swordsman Shano falling from the sky after a hard battle, but also the scene of Big, one of the four emperors, being seriously injured and dying, plus the last hundred years before The legend, the appearance of the Giant Pirates...

for a while.

The whole world was completely shocked by it!

…………

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

"Did so many things happen after that?"

In the office at the top of the fortress, Warring States finished flipping through the newspaper in his hand and threw it back on the desk in front of him, his expression became extremely ugly:

"That guy Maynard only reported a small part of the previous report. He was obviously at the scene, but in the end our headquarters got the news one step later than the newspaper office. What does he do for a living?!"

"no way."

Sitting opposite him was Vice Admiral Dauberman of the Navy Headquarters. At this moment, he also had a headache. He rubbed his temples and said:

"The scale of the battle that broke out on Cake Island was really astonishing. Maynard couldn't run fast enough and was affected by the aftermath of the fight between the two men. He passed out on the spot and the phone signal was cut off. In the end, he was able to retrieve a If he is ordered to withdraw, he is already destined to be lucky."

"That can't cover up his incompetence!"

Warring States lost his usual gentleness, slammed the table, and roared angrily, "Notify him immediately and ask him to come here on his own initiative after he returns to the headquarters. Let's see how I deal with him then!"

"Yes." Dauberman saw that Warring States was angry and did not dare to persuade him, so he nodded.

"marshal."

At this moment, another tall figure who had been sitting cross-legged on the sofa silently, finally spoke slowly and in a low tone: "Although Maynard has neglected his duty, it doesn't matter after all. Let's put it aside and discuss business matters." Better."

"Well, it's true that business is more important."

Warring States nodded slightly. After he got angry, his anger also dissipated a lot. After pushing up his glasses, he turned to look at the person who spoke and asked in a deep voice:

"Sakaski, what do you think of this sudden war?"
