Pirate's Swordsman

Hawkeye eventually returns.

Not for drinking, but because his little broken boat was still at the port of Wind Island and he had to go and pick it up.

After watching Hawkeye leave, Xia Nuo reached the highest point of Wind Island alone, sat quietly on the boulder, and stared at the flying snow in the sky, lost in thought.

Although the snow was tight, there was a colorless and invisible breeze surrounding him, causing the snowflakes to turn into mist and disperse quietly before they fell on his shoulders.

"Eleven years"

I don't know how long it took before Xia Nuo rubbed the hilt of Lanqi's sword and murmured in a low voice.

This is the eleventh year since he came to this world and started to practice swordsmanship. All the events of that year are still reflected in his mind. It seems that in just a thought, these years flew by quietly without leaving any trace.

That year.

A handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, led by an old man with a broken leg, left his hometown of Xiangcheng Town and embarked on a journey to an unknown world.

That day.

In the dusk, the drunken boy held his wooden sword tightly in the vast sea and swore to the sunset one by one that one day he would become the greatest swordsman in the world.

The sound was so loud that it resounded across the vast sea. The white seagulls were frightened and flew away.

Thereafter.

The sunset never remembered his words, but the boy never dared to forget the sunset of that day.

He has been running desperately towards the dream that seems to be out of reach, as if there is a beast chasing behind him.

From the sweating profusely during Su Zhen, to the painstaking meditation during meditation, from the nervousness and apprehension when killing people for the first time, to the awe-inspiring fearlessness when facing the four emperors.

The hellish training and torture never changed the young man's original ambition, and the ferocious and powerful enemies from all walks of life failed to block the young man's rise.

until today.

Eight years later, in this blizzard of snow, the handsome black-haired boy finally got his wish.

The so-called way of a swordsman is like falling into the hell of evil spirits, suffering all kinds of hardships without getting tired of it.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind, which woke up Xia Nuo, whose thoughts were racing. He looked back, but it was Xiao Luo who had touched the cliff at some point and was approaching this side cunningly.

"come on."

Xia Nuo waved, and when Xiao Luo arrived, he stroked its furry head and was lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "You have been with me for almost eight years. When you were the little one who came out of the egg, As picky as you want to be with your food, who knew it would grow to be this big one day.”

He sighed slightly.

"Come on, show me around."

Xiao Luo let out an excited eagle cry, and Xia Nuo turned over, one person and one eagle, turning into a black stream of light, rising into the sky like a startling rainbow.

"Hahahahaha"

Above the sky, afterimages fluttered, and among the flying snow, suddenly, there was a wanton laughter that Xia Nuo had not experienced in a long time.

Heroic and surging, shouting and flowing clouds

When Xiao Luo took him to fly in the sky for the first time, he was a young brat who had just grown up. He killed the captain of the branch in front of everyone, and drifted away with laughter in the midst of the furious pursuit of the navy.

And now.

He is the greatest swordsman in the world. He is patrolling the vast territory under his command, which covers thirty-four islands. The name of the Four Emperors has become powerful in the world and is famous all over the world.

Baiyun Canggou, years are long, everything has long been changed.

Only the original intention remains unchanged and the laughter remains.

One month, two months, six months, two years passed in a blink of an eye.

After the Four Emperors Hayate Swordsman Shano defeated Hawkeye Mihawk and became the world's recognized greatest swordsman, he did not continue to make much noise, but focused his energy on managing the territory under his rule. superior.

This disappointed many pirates who were worried about the world being in chaos. They originally thought that with the grievances they had accumulated with the Beasts Pirates, the new world would definitely create a bigger storm because of Shano's ascension to the throne of the Four Emperors. So everything turned upside down.

however.

The Navy Headquarters, which has been closely monitoring the trends in the new world, has a completely different state of mind.

The Gale Pirates they wanted to see did not appear due to their over-expansion and making enemies everywhere. Instead, what they saw was an incredibly low profile, keeping a low profile and playing steadily. The more this happened, the darker the faces of the navy's top brass became. The hair is solemn.

For two whole years.

The situation in the Totland Sea has gradually stabilized. The restraint and management of subordinate pirates and appropriate and reasonable tax policies have made the hearts and minds of the people of the thirty-four islands return to Shano. This is a sharp change from the previous rule of the Charlotte family. contrast contrast.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and the entire territory of the Four Emperors is a prosperous and prosperous scene.

The size of the Gale Fleet is also constantly expanding. The number of defectors who come here to join, and the young people who voluntarily join in the territory under its command, even though most of them have been screened out during the inspection period, are still not enough to match the huge base.

The headquarters of the Hayate Pirates still has the same thirty-seven people, and has not changed at all, but the number of subordinate pirate groups has increased from the original nine to a full forty-five.

There are more than 50,000 peripheral troops, thousands of elite combat forces, and hundreds of middle-level cadres who can take charge of their own affairs.

If we look at the Gale Fleet two years ago, there is a clear gap in scale and quality between Xia Nuo and the forces under the command of the other established Yonko just because Xia Nuo had just become the Yonko.

So after the development of the past two years, the Imperial Group under Xia Nuo has become one of the most terrifying top forces in the world, even compared to any other Imperial Group in the New World.

As for Schiano himself.

Very few people are lucky enough to see this powerful Four Emperors attack with all his strength, but whether it is the cadres of the Hayate Pirates or the ordinary residents of the island, he can often be seen practicing hard in the past two years. .

Or sitting in meditation and enlightenment in the vast snow, or riding the waves in the pouring rain, or wielding the most simple and unpretentious basic swordsmanship under the afterglow of the setting sun.

No one knows how much stronger his level of strength is compared to two years ago, and no one dares to guess what it will be like on the other side of the sword after becoming the world's greatest swordsman.

This year is 1520 in the Hainan calendar, and it is also the nd year of the Great Pirate Era that began after the death of the previous generation Pirate King Gol Roger.

The pattern of the new world was re-established, but the first half of the Grand Line was turbulent, with a large number of extremely vicious newcomers emerging, each of them carving out a strong reputation.

In such a turbulent era, few people would notice.

A boy with short black hair and a straw hat who likes to wear a red waistcoat finally waited for the day when he came of age. He set sail from the East China Sea, the hometown of Shano, one of the four emperors, and embarked on the first step in pursuing his dream of becoming the Pirate King.
