Pirate's Swordsman

Xia Nuo nodded slightly, he was not surprised by this.

Although Cracker has strong control over the fruit's abilities, it does not affect his ability to control the Cookie Soldier even though he is thousands of kilometers away.

But on the battlefield, various accidents may happen. For example, if Cracker becomes unconscious during the war, then all the cookie soldiers may stop functioning and become motionless sculptures.

And this will inevitably cause turmoil in the Totland Sea area. In addition, it is necessary to guard against the prying eyes of the other four emperors. It is foreseeable that Kelijia will stay behind the Wanguo army and not go out with the army.

"One of the three generals is missing."

Luo leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly, "Without Cracker and his cookie soldiers, the pressure we face on the battlefield will be much less."

"This war will be less difficult than the Tundra War."

Fujitora propped his chin on his elbow and spoke in a deep voice, "But we can't take it too lightly. I still remember the last time we were at the cake, the other party had an old man wearing a chef's uniform. He was as strong as a general. "

“Long bread?”

Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've heard of this name. It seems that the reason why Bi embarked on the path of pirates was inseparable from him. Moreover, this old man was also a member of the Rocks Pirates."

The moment the words fell, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.

Rocks Pirates.

This was a name that was once well-known on the sea. Although it gradually became less known as time went by and the World Government deliberately concealed it, it was still no stranger to pirates who could come to the new world.

Decades ago, the Rocks Pirates once dominated the world and were recognized as the strongest pirate group at that time. The captain Rocks D. Jibek was extremely powerful, and among his crew members, there were even more powerful men.

Whitebeard, Kaido and Bi among the four emperors, as well as Shiki, the golden lion who was as famous as Roger the Pirate King, were all once members of Rocks.

"It's a tough battle after all."

Everyone was filled with emotion, but more than anything, they were still looking forward to it, especially the newcomers headed by Bator who had just joined the Gale Fleet.

They were not able to participate in the last battle in the tundra sea, but just hearing the old people talk about the specific battle afterwards was enough to make people's blood boil.

But this time, they finally realized their dream. They had the opportunity to stand behind their idol and fight against the Four Emperors in the name of Hayate. Just thinking about it made them excited and excited.

After the meeting.

Xia Nuo stopped Ivy who was about to leave and took her to his bedroom.

"Take this."

Xia Nuo took out a wooden box from the drawer of the bedside table, smiled slightly, and handed it to Ivy.

"This is"

Ivy opened the box in confusion, and a strange-looking fruit came into view. She was startled, then shook her head, handed it back to Xia Nuo, and said softly

"I do not want."

Her tone was calm, as if what was in the box was just ordinary fruit bought from a street stall.

Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said, "This is a natural smoke fruit. It can be sold for at least 560 million beli on the black market. It has a price but no market."

"I know."

Ivy raised her head slightly, looked up at Xia Nuo, who was a whole head taller than herself, and said softly, "That's why I can't have it."

"You have to give a reason."

"It's very simple." Ivy pointed her fingers carefully and counted them one by one for Xia Nuo. "First, I am very weak. Even if I eat the fruit, I won't be able to play a big role."

"Secondly, there are more and more people on the ship now. Many people should want the fruit. You have to fight several Yonko now. The pressure is so great. Of course, you should give the fruit to the strongest person. Give it to me. What a waste."

Her pretty little face was full of determination, as if she thought that after she understood these truths, Xia Nuo would never do such a wasteful thing again.

however.

What Ivy didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Xia Nuo just shook his head and stuffed the Devil Fruit back into his hand.

"What you said is too rational."

Xia Nuo looked at Ivy, who looked dull, and suddenly stretched out a hand, rubbed her hair, and showed a gentle smile.

"People are emotional creatures after all, and I am no exception. Rather than using a fruit to create a strong man, I hope you can rely on it to survive in future battlefields."

"Devil fruits are available everywhere in the world. I don't lack them now and I will never lack them in the future, but you can't. There is no other Ivy in the world."

After saying these words, he waved his hand and strode out of the bedroom without looking back.

Ivy was left holding the box containing the Devil Fruit, standing there in a daze, watching his back gradually go away.

""

She bit her teeth, and a faint blush quickly appeared on the sides of her slightly hot face.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.

The Gale Fleet, which had already gathered on the plains north of Dressrosa, finally waited for the arrival of the bi pirate group in the early morning of this day after several days of running together.

It was a huge fleet that could be described as terrifying. There were hundreds of cake boats, sailing majestically from the horizon, covering the sky and the sun with an astonishing momentum.

At the forefront of the fleet is the huge ship "Queen Mother Singer", which is hundreds of meters high. On the deck, a fat and tall figure can be seen faintly, standing on the bow of the ship.

"Is it finally here?"

In front of the northern harbor of Dressrosa Island, Xiano stood on a reef several meters high, looking at the approaching fleet with a faint look.

slam

Huge waves kept crashing towards the reef, but the strange thing was that once those waves approached Xia Nuo's side, they would be dispersed by an invisible force of wind, turning into water mist and disappearing quietly.

From beginning to end, Xia Nuo, who was standing on the top of the reef, was spotlessly clean, not even a drop of water on her body.

And behind his back.

Under the command of the Gale Fleet, the entire combat power of the nine major pirate groups gathered silently on the vast plains. The darkness was so dense that it looked spectacular from a distance.

"Ready to fight."

Seeing the Bi Pirates' fleet getting closer and closer, Xia Nuo on the rocks finally spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, Captain"

Thousands of subordinates behind him immediately roared in response. The voices gathered together and rolled like thunder, echoing far above the coast.

Haiyuan calendar, the end of November 1517.

With the bi pirate group, after crossing a long distance of thousands of kilometers, they arrived at Dressrosa and took the lead in launching an offensive.

After the Tundra War, another war between the four emperors faced by the Hayate Fleet has officially begun.
