Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

"What conditions?" Kurta asked cautiously.

"We'll talk about this later." Qiya noticed Saint Zachary walking towards the stage with a livid face, and said to Kurta with a smile.

After St. Zachary walked onto the stage, he neither lectured his grandson nor praised Ichiban Qiya politely. He simply announced the name of the new patriarch to the villagers.

Then he looked at Qi Ya with a complicated expression and said, "Follow me."

The young man Qi didn't doubt that he was there, and he wasn't worried that the other party would set him up to trick him. He just followed the old and strong patriarch.

The crowd automatically dispersed to both sides, making way for the old and new clan leaders.

April climbed down from the boulder and followed Qiya like a little tail as the two passed by.

"Grandpa Kali, where are you taking Qi Ya?" The little evil girl bravely asked, while leaning her body behind Qi Ya.

"The shrine behind the village," Saint Zachary said without looking back.

"Shrine?" The little evil girl blinked, frowned and asked, "Why are you going to the shrine?"

Saint Zachary stopped and trembled slightly, as if suppressing the anger in his chest.

When Apple saw this, she ran away quickly.Ever since she and her brother became orphans in the shipwreck a year ago, her grandfather, St. Zachary, had taken on two roles in one person, one being stern and the other kind.

The stern Grandpa Kali would really hit her when he got anxious. After weighing the situation, Ai Puli decided to hide first to avoid Qi Ya’s trouble.

St. Zachary turned around, his face still livid, and asked Qiya:

"If I had hit April just now, what would you have done?"

Qi Ya answered without thinking: "Take Apple and run away."

This was the best answer he could think of in the blink of an eye.

This question is similar to "Which one should be saved first when my wife and I fall into the water together?"

The other party probably wasn't really planning to hit someone just because the little evil girl asked a few more questions.

Saint Zachary turned back without comment and then led the way.

Qiya: "..."

Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.

In front of you is a single-story wooden building with a cloister, gray tiles, and cornices.The overall color is dark red and black, which is very different from the Japanese shrine in Qiya's impression, except that the one in front of him is much larger, and it is a building that can really accommodate people inside.

St. Zachary took the key and opened the door. After asking Qiya to follow, he walked into the shrine on his own.

When Qi Ya entered the building, the first thing he noticed was a table of fruits placed directly opposite the door, and behind the fruits... the fruits were supported on a silver tall tray.

It was a black devil fruit in the shape of a banana and covered with a "karang grass-like" spiral pattern.

Remember that the market price of this thing in the pirate world is at least [-] million beli, and now it is actually worshiped as a god by the people in the village?

Qi Ya looked at St. Zachary who had become solemn in a strange way, and then saw with his own eyes the aloof old man kneeling in front of this person, muttering some strange syllables piously.

The Saki boy turned his attention to the Devil Fruit and felt that he should take this thing away before going to sea to avoid further waste of natural resources.

"Come here, if you want to be the leader of the clan, you must also swear an oath to the Cat God."

After Saint Zachary finished reciting, he stood up and said this to Qiya.

"..." Qi Ya pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to do as he was told with a strange look on his face, thinking that it would be just like being forced by my mother to worship God and Buddha during the New Year and the holidays.

St. Zachary: "Just say what I say and follow it. Do you understand?"

Qi Ya nodded slightly, his expression becoming pious.

When the old patriarch saw the new patriarch being so polite, he smiled for the first time, but when he thought that this was not a member of the Emerson clan, the smile immediately disappeared.

"Zama Aliba is broken, Toyosko Maro is broken," said Saint Zachariah.

"..." Qi Ya pondered for a while and said, "You keep saying it again and I didn't hear it clearly."

"Zhama Aliba zhao, Tuoyu Kemaluo." St. Zachary repeated with a dark face.

……

When Qi Ya came out of the shrine again, he had a key in his hand. From this moment on, he was the new patriarch of Qi Shan Village.

The old patriarch, St. Zachary, will follow him for a while until the handover of village affairs is completed.

With the key to the shrine in hand, Qi Ya has no plans to urgently put the Devil Fruit into his storage space.

It's getting late today, and by the time the dinner is over, it will probably be late into the night.

Considering this, Qi Ya postponed his plan to mobilize some villagers to build ships, and instead proposed to the old clan leader to visit the location of the clan elders' meeting.

After Saint Zachary responded, he led the way forward in silence.

Qi Ya himself was not unfamiliar with the headquarters of the Clan Elders Association, but he did not plan to go to the rooms used to clean up the erring villagers. Instead, he wanted to see if there were any books he needed in the library here.

This can only be done by letting the old patriarch lead the way, while he follows and remembers the surrounding scenery in his mind.

If we were to talk about the most magnificent building in Qishan Village, then apart from the house of the patriarch Saint Zachary, the only thing Qiya could think of was the three-story stone building in front of him.

The architectural style of the stone building is very different from the other B&Bs and shops in Qishan Village. It is somewhat similar to the combination of a Japanese courtyard and a Western European castle.

There is something exotic in the weirdness.

After passing through the stone corridor and going up several flights of stairs, Qi Ya finally arrived at the library located on the east side of the third floor.

Saint Zachary took out the key, opened the door, and let the new patriarch in. He stood outside and looked at the movement below through the narrow window in the corridor.

As soon as he entered the room, the young man was suffocated by the overflowing smoke and dust.

The room was about thirty square meters, with bookshelves on all four walls. In the center were two long tables put together, with only books placed on them.

After adapting to the dim light environment in the room, Qi Ya covered her mouth and nose and began to search for what she needed in a book, and then threw it into her storage space without any psychological burden.

Judging from the current situation of the library being neglected, everyone pays close to no attention to it.

In fact, if his storage space was not limited, he would have collected them all instead of letting these books be abandoned here!

But now you still need to carefully choose what you need, such as navigation, medicine, weather, etc.

Now that I have made up my mind to challenge the blocked sea area alone, I should learn as much as possible about these things that are related to my wealth and life.

Similar to the original time and space, Luffy dared to go out to sea in a small boat without knowing anything. In the end, there was no danger along the way. This kind of thing... Qi Ya didn't dare to hope, nor did he hope that this would happen to him.

After sweeping around and filling the storage space to the brim, Ziya followed St. Zachary around the rest of the rooms and floors of the building.

When we returned to the village square, the sun was already setting in the west.

The huge torches all around were blazing with flames, and the long wooden tables were connected in a line, forming a square around the towering statue, with only four passages for people walking exposed at the four corners.

A huge amount of bread, ale and barbecued meats with sauce were placed on the table for the villagers to enjoy.

The entire square was crowded with people, and from time to time you could see young couples, or not-so-young couples hanging out together.

The little evil girl jumped in front of Qi Ya, made a face, then hugged his arm, looking at the surrounding couples with envious eyes.

Qi Ya smiled, touched the other person's head, and then pointed to his stomach.

"Eat! I'm hungry too!!" the little evil girl shouted with a smile on her face.

Otherwise, the surrounding bustle would be enough to silence any normal volume of speech.

This night is a carnival night for the entire Qishan Village.
