Pirate's Swordsman

Isle of Winds.

On the top floor of the castle, in the solemn and silent hall, five stone tablets with historical texts are neatly lined up and leaning against the wall.

"All historical texts are here."

Xia Nuo stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands and said leisurely: "Including the rubbing from Alabasta, there are six pieces in total. They are all handed over to you. Don't let me down."

"clear."

Robin next to her looked up at these historical texts, and was a little distracted for a moment. After a while, she breathed out gently and nodded slightly:

"I will try my best to interpret it, but the workload is huge and it will take at least two or three months to make any progress."

"I can afford to wait for this little time."

After Xia Nuo made a rough estimate in his mind, he said casually, "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, just remember to report it to me in time."

"Yes."

After leaving these words, Xia Nuo turned and left. When he was about to enter the corridor, Robin's hesitant voice suddenly came from behind:

"Sir, since I am working under you now, do you want to give me another code name? The original name in Baroque Studio seems not suitable anymore..."

"Code name?"

Xia Nuo paused slightly and turned to look at Robin in surprise, "Why do you need that kind of thing?"

"After all, I am the only survivor of O'Hara, and my identity is sensitive."

Robin hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Not only the Navy Headquarters, but also the World Government has been searching for me. If the news of my surrender to you spreads, it will inevitably cause some trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble can there be?"

Xia Nuo's eyebrows moved slightly and he chuckled, "The days of hiding are over. From now on, you are you, Robin, the son of the devil. As for the Navy Headquarters and the World Government..."

"If they have the guts to come to my territory to cause trouble, just let them try."

After the low voice fell and a casual smile, Xia Nuo waved his hand and turned to leave.

Robin looked at his figure disappearing into the corridor and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

She raised her head and looked up again at the stone tablets engraved with obscure and mysterious ancient characters. Her eyes were as deep as the abyss, and unconsciously, the corners of her mouth also curved quietly.

…………

Just when Xia Nuo took Robin back to the new world.

As the Neferutari royal family regained control of the Kingdom of Alabasta, what happened on Sentin Island finally spread with the intentional spread of King Kobra, causing an uproar around the world.

If the Shichibukai Crocodile's conspiracy with Moonlight Moria to usurp the country was enough to shock people's attention and become a topic of conversation.

So after these two big men joined forces, they were still defeated by the Yonko Shano's sword. The news that they died on the spot was like dropping a huge boulder on the surface of the lake with shallow ripples, which shocked countless people. .

…………

"Moonlight Moria, Sand Crocodile Crocodile..."

In front of the bar of the tavern, the gluttonous girl Qiao Ellie Bonny who was eating and drinking couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the report from her subordinates. She put down the chicken drumstick in her hand and murmured in disbelief:

"Those are powerful men who made waves in the sea many years ago, and they are from the Shichibukai like Xiong. How can they be killed so easily? They can't even escape..."

…………

"The gap is too big."

A few months ago, a ship just entered the Great Route from the West Sea

On the pirate ship, Kapenbeki held a cigar in his mouth, put down the newspaper in his hand, and coldly snorted:

"Those two guys are not at the same level of combat power as the Four Emperors."

"Yes, Godfather."

The man in black suit at the dining table nodded in agreement and said with emotion:

"This shows how ridiculous it is for the people from the Navy Headquarters to try to use the people from the Shichibukai to restrain the Four Emperors."

"That's not entirely true."

Kapenbecki blew out a smoke ring, squinted his eyes and said quietly, "Everyone is willing to watch a good dog-eat-dog show, and the price is just to throw a few bones casually. If it were me who was playing Mary Joa, I would do the same thing."

"I didn't expect this. He is worthy of being a godfather."

The man in the black suit quickly flattered him, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, after defeating the Jackal Pirates this time, Godfather, your bounty has exceeded 100 million beli. If you continue to conquer, even the Shichibukai will not be able to match your popularity!"

"Ah……"

Kapenbeki smiled noncommittally. He put out the cigar in his hand and looked at the sea outside the porthole. After a moment, he said in a low voice:

"Shichibukai, it's almost time to choose one of them as a target from the remaining ones."

"A great pirate of this level is the most suitable as a stepping stone to gain fame before entering the new world..."

…………

"Put on hold your plans to go to the New World?"

On an uninhabited island, X. Drake, who defected from the navy and became the captain of the Drake Pirates, was sitting on the edge of the reef facing the waves and tide.

Listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, he suddenly frowned, "Why? Didn't you always want me to leave early and break into the Beasts Pirates?"

"This is what the marshal wants, just follow it."

The voice on the other end of the phone had a drawl, looking particularly lazy and unbeatable, "If you really want to explain, you must have heard about Alabasta in the past two days, right?"

"Well, I just saw it in the newspaper yesterday."

Derek's eyes flashed slightly, "Two members of the Shichibukai teamed up, but they couldn't last more than a few minutes in his hands. It seems that in the past two years, that guy's strength has become even more terrifying."

"That's just what you see on the surface."

The lazy voice on the other end of the microphone said slowly and authentically, "This department has much more to consider than this. That guy has been keeping a low profile in the New World for two full years, and this time he suddenly made such a big move. You know what it means. What?"

"Is the war finally going to break out..."

Derek whispered.

"It's a high probability thing."

The lazy voice said, "Last time, that guy kept a low profile for a year and a half, but as soon as it came out, he turned the new world upside down. I'm afraid it will be similar this time."

"The feud between the Hayate Pirates and the Beast Pirates has been building up for so long, but there has been no follow-up movement. Now it's time for this long-suppressed volcano to erupt."

"That's right..." Derek pondered for a while, "So what the headquarters means is that you want me to enter the new world after this war has passed and the situation in the new world has stabilized again?"

"That's it."

The person on the other end of the phone yawned and chuckled:

"It just so happens that your current strength and bounty are not enough, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to hone it for a few more months. Maybe by the time you enter the new world, the Beast Pirates will have been destroyed, and you won't have to go on the mission anymore. Did you do it?”
