Pirate's Swordsman

Ace was feeling very sad and angry now.

He simply could not accept that after leaving the East China Sea, he had been invincible and smooth sailing all the way, but after entering the new world, he could actually encounter such a huge setback.

Thirty times, forty times, fifty times

As the number of challenges continued to increase, he used almost all his thoughts, not only developed many new skills, but also tried various different fighting methods to attack Xia Nuo.

however.

No matter how much energy he spent and what methods he used, Xia Nuo had only one way to deal with him from the beginning to the end, which was to use a sword to blast him out of the boat and fall into the sea.

After so many days, the minions of the Spade Pirates have become more and more proficient in the process of fishing out the captain, and Ace has drank countless amounts of sea water. Every time he returns to the embrace of the sea, it is like returning home. Familiar and warm.

There was even an illusion telling him that if he continued like this, he might be able to create a miracle that violated the rules of the world and become a swimming Devil Fruit user.

of course.

Illusions are illusions after all. Ace's fate of drinking a lot of water every time he fails has not changed. Xia Nuo seems to have completely adapted to his existence. He has almost never spoken to him, but still uses simple words again and again. A simple sword sent him home to see.

that's it.

Time passed day by day, and finally, on the ninth day, Ace, who was blasted into the sea for the 78th time, was picked up by his men and rescued on the boat. He heard Xiano's voice for the first time in a long time.

"You only have three days."

He looked up and saw that Xia Nuo was leaning on the railing and looking at him, smiling slightly and speaking.

"We will arrive at our destination in three days. By then, I won't have time to play this kind of game with you, so I advise you to give up early, lest it be difficult to escape and get involved in this vortex that you shouldn't participate in. among.”

"How is that possible, bastard?"

Ace was unwilling to give up, and regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates around him, he held his neck and roared at Xia Nuo.

"Do you think it's impossible with only three days left? I'm telling you, I have to use my true strength to defeat you in the remaining three days and make you convinced."

"Yeah"

Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows and said, "But you have to eat so much every day. This is also a problem for the chefs on our ship. How about I just let you stay, but how about you figure out how to solve the three meals yourself from tomorrow?"

Ace's expression suddenly froze, and then he stamped his feet, and said with some embarrassment, "You are taking advantage of others' danger. You clearly know that there is not much food storage on our ship, and my friends have been giving food to them these days." You guys come here to do various chores.”

"I didn't say we were going to cut off their food supply."

Xia Nuo shrugged, "Their appetite is not as exaggerated as yours. You can't feed one of them, but you can still feed two, three or four of them."

"I"

Ace's face suddenly turned red. He gritted his teeth and wanted to argue a few words, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the subordinates around him nodding in agreement, and then he held back his anger. He was speechless for a long time.

"Forget it, I won't make you happy anymore."

Seeing Ace's furious look, Xia Nuo estimated that it was almost time to polish it, and said in a deep voice.

"It's fine if you want me to continue giving you food, but we have to make a bet first. What do you think?"

"Bet"

Ace was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Tell me, what's the bet?"

"It's very simple, I don't need you to defeat me. As long as you can withstand more than three minutes once in the next three days, I will recognize your strength and let you leave with all your friends. "

Xia Nuo smiled slightly, his eyes falling on Ace's face, "Correspondingly, if you can't even do this, you will have to obey my orders and do things according to my requirements in the future."

“Three minutes is no problem”

Ace agreed without thinking, snorted, and said eagerly, "Don't underestimate me, my goal is not just as simple as three minutes, wait a minute."

Only then did he react. He looked at Xia Nuo with wide eyes and said, "What you're saying is that if I don't do it, I have to get on your ship and become your subordinate."

"That's understandable."

Xia Nuo held his chin with his hand, looked at Ace with a smile and said, "But if you are really unwilling, I won't force you to do anything. When the time comes, you can just take the people away. But when we meet again in the future, I I can only pretend that I have never met you, and I won’t be merciful anymore.”

""

Ace gritted his teeth tightly and stared into Xia Nuo's eyes without saying a word. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly made up his mind and shouted angrily.

"Okay, no problem, I promise you"

"captain"

The subordinates nearby suddenly panicked and gathered around to try to dissuade him.

"You should think more carefully and don't be deceived by that guy."

"That's right, didn't you agree that you are the man who will become the Pirate King? How can you be inferior to others?"

"Let's go, captain. In the worst case, when we become stronger in the future, it won't be too late to challenge the opponent again."

“No need to say more”

Ace shouted loudly, interrupting everyone's words. He looked resolutely, looked around, and after scanning the faces of each of his partners, he said coldly.

"Of course I know what will happen if I lose this bet."

"But, it's been so many days, but I haven't made any progress at all. I haven't been able to hold on to this guy for more than a minute."

He quietly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "This is a shame. Do you understand? Shame. If I can't overcome this hurdle and just give up and leave, how can I be willing to do so? What qualifications do I have to say that I want to leave?" Being the Pirate King is such a silly thing"

咚

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly stepped on the ship's board, and his whole body flew up like a thunderous giant again, with flames all over his body, like an immortal firebird after Nirvana, and flew towards Xiano on the deck of the Wind.

"Come and try my move, Storm Swordsman Xiano"

His hoarse roar came from the flames, and a huge fire ball like the rising sun rose from behind him:

"Yan Emperor"

boom

The fire ball continued to expand, like the blazing sun in the sky, exuding endless heat to the surroundings. Even the light was slightly distorted, reflecting a burning sensation.

"That's a move the captain has never used before."

The subordinates of the Spade Pirates couldn't help but be shocked. A tall and thin pirate couldn't help but murmured, "Did you gain new understanding in a desperate situation?"

"As expected of the captain."

Another pirate swallowed and looked at the dazzling huge flames, "How could such a powerful potential be unleashed under such circumstances?"

"This move is terrifyingly powerful at first glance."

"Even if it's that man standing opposite, I'm afraid I have to avoid the edge for a while."

"Three minutes, maybe I can really hold on this time."

With this thought in mind, the members of the Spade Pirates, who had been completely desperate, once again ignited hope in their hearts, and looked expectantly at Ace's back as he rushed away.

however.

At the next moment, an unpretentious sword energy suddenly struck from the opposite side, and the mighty Emperor Yan was extinguished instantly. In the aftermath of the spreading sword energy, Ace screamed, and his body flew out, and fell back again with a "pop" Into the water.

""

Everyone in the Spade Pirates looked up at the familiar parabola, and they all fell into a strange silence.

"Just pretend that I didn't say anything before."

After a moment, the tall and thin pirate sighed and tightened his grip on the wooden oar in his hand. "What are you still doing? Row over and continue fishing for the captain."
