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 townspeople.

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

Qi Jianhao had no doubt that he was there, and was not worried that the other party would set him up to trick him. He just followed the old and strong clan leader.

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 town." 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 hesitation: "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.

Qia Ya: ""

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 fruits supported on a high silver tray behind the fruits.

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 town?

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.

Saki Kenhao 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 with a strange look on his face and followed the instructions, thinking that it would be just like being forced by my mother to worship gods and Buddhas during the New Year and festivals.

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

The old patriarch, St. Zachary, will follow him for a while until the handover of the town's 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 intend to go to the rooms used to clean up the townsfolk who had made mistakes. 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 say what was the most magnificent building in Qi Shan Town, then apart from the house of the patriarch Saint Zachary, the only thing Qi Ya 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 Town. 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, Qi Jianhao 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. Sakia did not dare to expect this kind of thing, 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 town 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 townspeople 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 Town.

After a night of carnival, many bachelors slept directly in the square, while those who had homes and company returned home halfway through the party.

After filling his stomach, Qi Ya walked around the town with the little evil girl for a while.

During this period, either the little evil girl was chattering about interesting things about herself, and Qi Ya listened patiently; or Qi Ya was talking about future arrangements, and the little evil girl listened carefully.

Early the next morning, Aipuli came over to wake Qi Ya up.

Instead of knocking with a metal stick like the first time, he just took out the key and opened the door, and walked into the room to make a fuss.

Qi Ya got up in a daze. While admiring April's energy, he began to make plans for shipbuilding.

There is no need to worry about manpower. What you need to worry about is the talents who really know how to build ships and can design good ships.

He couldn't trust this matter to the clan elders' association, so he had to let the little evil girl deal with the errands handed over by the clan leader, while he had to do it himself before the shipbuilding thing got on track.

The first step is to hire someone who knows how to build a ship and can design a good ship!

The difficulty of this point is quite high when the overall cultural level of the townspeople is not high.

Demand breeds talent. Now the shipbuilding industry on the island has been in a downturn for several years. When fishermen encounter broken boats, they mostly choose to repair them themselves.

Under such circumstances, even if there are talents he wants hidden on the island, most of them are difficult to discover.

At the same time, Qi Ya also has to bear the risk of the other party's skills being unfamiliar.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Qi Ya first took April to find the old patriarch and entrusted the little evil girl to temporarily take over his duties.

Saint Zachary did not express an opinion on Qiya's request, and even the clan elders' council controlled by Emerson's group did not dare to have an opinion.

Among a total of 1 clan elders, members of the Garcia, Silas, Evan, Moore and Joan family began to speculate like this:

Is Garcia Zakia just a political puppet promoted by the old patriarch?

Is it his granddaughter Emerson April who is really in charge?

Don't think about the intrigues in the clan elders' association.

After placing the little evil girl in the position she liked and the position that Qi Ya wanted, Qi Jianhao took the lead in going to the blacksmith shop by the dock and asked Senior Ma Long for information about the shipbuilder.

Then he had seafood fried rice made by Yukina for breakfast.

After saying goodbye and leaving, Qi Ya followed the vague information given by Senior Ma Long and found a low house at the other end of the town, built alone at the foot of the back mountain.

The low house looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, and it was hard to believe that there were still people living in such a house.

After knocking on the door three times, there was a burst of movement inside, and then a lean old man wearing a floral shirt, floral pants, and a pair of flip-flops appeared behind the door.

It's just that the outfit he wore was as old as the hut on the floor where he lived.

"Who are you?"

The other party's voice was a bit unkind, revealing the indifference of a strange old man who would reject others from thousands of miles away.

Obviously, the old man in front of me did not participate in the activities of all the townspeople yesterday.

"I am the new clan leader in the town, and I came to you to build a ship." Qi Yayan said concisely.

The old man looked at the young man in front of him up and down. He had no intention of exploring the truth or falsehood of the first half of the other person's sentence. Instead, he asked directly: "Why build a ship?"

Qi Ya pondered for a moment, quickly searching for the answer to this question in his mind.

According to the traditional rules of the pirate world, the old man's question must involve the other party's persistence for half his life and the source of the current embarrassment.

If you answer well, the other party will even rush to build a boat for you for free;

If you don't answer well, the other party may tell you that you have the wrong person.

"Because people shouldn't be trapped on this small island all their lives. The world is so big and I want to see it!" Qi Ya said solemnly.

Something seemed to flash in the old man's brown eyes, and his dry mouth began to murmur.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Qi Ya felt a little reassured, it should be done now!

Then I heard the other party say: "Give up! There's no way out!"

"Why do you say that?" Qiya asked with a frown, noticing the old man's lean body. He took out a piece of bread and a bottle of ale from the storage space like magic and handed them to him.

"Sit down and talk!" The old man happily took the things from Qi Ya's hands, and while speaking enthusiastically, he sat directly on the ground and ate the bread in his hands.

Qia Ya: ""

As you always say, sit down and say it, do you mean sitting on the ground through the door frame?

After the other party finished the bread in his hand, licked his fingers with unsatisfied content, and drank two sips of ale, Qi Ya squatted down and asked the old man the previous question.

"For the sake of this bread and strong wine, I will tell you the truth!" The old man touched his swollen belly and said with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, I still don't know your old name!" Qi Ya said.

"Just call me Silas. I have already thrown my name into the sea." The old man said.

Qi Ya looked at Silas and thought to himself: "You call yourself by your last name. Do you have any unbearable past? That's why you don't even want a name?"

The old man didn't know Qiya's psychological activities. After brewing his emotions for a while, he continued:

"Actually, it's not just you who wants to see the outside world. People like me, who have been outside before but are now trapped here and unable to fulfill their obligations, are more eager to return to the outside world than you are."

"44 years ago, I went out to sea for six years and finally settled on an island called the Seven Waters."

"At that time, I had just been married for a year and had a baby. I came back here happily and wanted to pick up my parents and live in the Capital of Seven Waters."

"Who knew, just as we were on our way back, that damn annular current appeared, and crazy winds began to blow in the sky."

"Since then, any ship that dares to approach and try to break through the blockade has been destroyed by the harsh environment up to [-] meters long."

"In 44 years, I have tried 43 times and used various methods, but none of them succeeded. Why do you think you can get out?"

After listening to Silas's words, Qi Ya thought carefully for a while, and then said:

"There are some things that you have to try, otherwise you may regret it for the rest of your life. Besides, if it really doesn't work, I can choose to swim out."

"Swimming?" Silas chuckled. "It's at least 100 meters to cross the circular current. There are strong winds above and sea kings below. Can you tell me how to swim?"

Qi Ya smiled noncommittally, and instead of arguing with the other party, asked directly:

"With a full stomach and a bottle of ale a day, you can help me build the ship without you having to do it yourself. Do you want to do it?"

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Silas put away his chuckle and turned to ask seriously: "Really plan to give it a try? Even if the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed?"

Qia Ya: "Even if the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed"

Silas: "Okay, it just so happens that my old bone has half of its foot in the coffin. Come with me to see if the half-built ship I built still suits your eyes."

"If you think it's appropriate and don't want to waste time, I can give you this semi-finished ship first."

With that said, the old man stood up and patted the dust on his butt, carrying the ale and walked towards the beach by the back mountain.Fupin Chinese
