One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

The sunshine of the Chabaoti Archipelago is hot and dazzling, pouring down unreservedly on this prosperous and bustling land.

The golden light was like a layer of hot gauze, covering every corner and making the air seem to be heated to boiling point.

The sea breeze blows in every corner with a salty scent, which is mixed with the vastness and mystery of the sea, as well as the unique warmth and unrestrainedness of this island.

Ling Tian walked hurriedly through the busy streets. His steps were quick and powerful, and every step he took seemed to be filled with an impatient determination.

The streets are crowded with people, and all kinds of noise interweave together to form a unique city symphony.

The shouts of vendors, the laughter of passers-by, and the whistles of ships rose and fell, but Ling Tian turned a deaf ear to them. His eyes were firm, staring straight ahead with a clear target, which was Xia Qi's tavern.

There was a flame burning in his eyes, a light of eagerness and desire. Every step he took was filled with eagerness, as if there was a burning flame in his heart, urging him to speed up.

The fire burned fiercely in his heart, constantly giving him strength and courage. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which sparkled in the sunlight, but he didn't bother to wipe them off, and just ran towards the tavern.

His clothes fluttered with his steps, and the corners of his clothes rustled in the wind. People on the street looked sideways, casting curious glances at this hurried figure, but Ling Tian didn't care at all.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to reach Xia Qi's tavern as soon as possible, as if there was an extremely important mission waiting for him to complete there.

Along the way, he nimbly avoided the pedestrians coming and going, dodged carts full of goods, and never stopped for a moment. Even when he encountered a narrow and crowded road, he squeezed through without hesitation.

His breathing became rapid and his chest heaved violently, but his pace did not slow down at all.

Finally, after a long journey, Ling Tian arrived at Xia Qi's tavern.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fresh sea breeze around him into his lungs, and tried to calm his slightly rapid breathing.

He straightened his body, and the expression on his face gradually changed from anxious to calm. Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, which was trembling slightly from the hurry, and gently pushed open the slightly old wooden door.

With a creaky sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and a hot air mixed with the smell of alcohol and people's noises rushed in. The moment Ling Tian stepped into the tavern, his sharp eyes immediately caught the familiar figures of Luffy and the others.

They sat around a large table in the corner, each with an expression of anticipation and anxiety on their face.

It turned out that Luffy and the others had been waiting here for a long time.

Luffy's hat was casually placed on the table, Zoro's three swords were leaning against the side, Nami's nautical chart was rolled up and placed at hand, and Sanji's cigarette was still emitting wisps of smoke. From time to time, they looked towards the door, looking forward to Ling Tian's arrival.

As soon as Luffy saw Lingtian, his eyes lit up instantly and he shouted excitedly: "Lingtian! You are finally here!" As he said that, he rushed over like a gust of wind.

His face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun, full of joy and excitement. Luffy's footsteps were so fast that he brought up a breeze, and he was in front of Ling Tian in an instant.

"I'm getting impatient waiting!" Luffy said loudly while panting.

He grasped Ling Tian's arm tightly with both hands and shook it vigorously, as if he wanted to convey all his inner impatience and excitement to Ling Tian.

"Haha, Luffy, I'm here." Ling Tian responded with a smile. Looking at Luffy's energetic appearance, he felt warm in his heart.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji and others also stood up, smiling, and quickly surrounded Ling Tian.

Nami walked lightly, her long orange hair swaying slightly with her movements, her eyes full of joy; Zoro took steady and powerful steps, the three swords at his waist making slight collision sounds; Sanji walked elegantly, still holding the unfinished cigarette in his hand.

"Lingtian, I've been waiting for you!" Nami said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with joy, like stars shining in the night sky.

She reached out to tidy up her hair and continued, "We've been waiting for your news."

Zoro folded his hands in front of his chest and nodded slightly. An imperceptible relaxation flashed across his stern face: "It's just in time." Zoro's eyes were still sharp, but there was a little more recognition of Ling Tian in them.

Sanji handed over a glass of wine, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Drink some drink first to quench your thirst. This is specially prepared for you." Sanji flicked the ash lightly, his eyes full of concern.

Ling Tian also greeted the crew members enthusiastically, with a warm smile on his face. That smile was like the sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely comfortable: "Sorry for waiting for a long time! I'm sorry to have worried you."

His eyes swept over the faces of each of his companions in turn, full of apology and gratitude.

At this moment, a skeleton slowly walked out from behind Luffy and the others.

His long and thin skeleton looked particularly strange in the light and shadow. Every step he took seemed a little funny. The bones collided with each other, making a crisp "cracking" sound, as if they were playing a unique piece of music.

Brook took off his iconic hat, bent down slightly, and introduced himself to Ling Tian in an elegant and gentlemanly manner: "Hello, Vice Captain Ling Tian, ​​I am Brook, a new member of the Straw Hat Pirates. I am a musician, and I am good at playing soul songs."

His voice had a unique tone, as if it came from a distant netherworld, with a hint of emptiness and mystery. Curious light flashed in his hollow eye sockets, like two twinkling stars embedded in the darkness.

When Ling Tian heard Brooke's words, he smiled warmly and nodded, his eyes full of friendliness and welcome. That look was like a warm spring breeze that brushed through Brooke's soul.

He extended his hand, which was firm and powerful, and said, "I am the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Hayatenki Lingtian. I am glad that you can join our team. I believe that your arrival will add more excitement to our adventure."

His voice is calm and magnetic, making people feel extremely at ease.

After the introduction, the two shook hands tightly. Ling Tian could feel the hardness and unique touch of Brooke's bone palm. It was a cold and solid feeling, as if holding a piece of ancient history.
