Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

After following Silas for two or three minutes, Qi Ya saw the semi-finished ship that the other party mentioned.

There was no sail or mast. The thing was only about two meters high, four to five meters long, and about three meters wide. It had a pointed bottom structure and was overall black.

If the middle third of the ship is covered with wooden boards and the wooden oars on both sides of the hull are removed, Saki Kenhao would think this thing is more like a submarine.

The reason why the old man said it was a semi-finished product was because the conditions on the side shown in front of the two people and the side behind them were completely opposite.

Just like a prostitute, the left half has outstanding grace and smooth skin, and can arouse the most primitive impulses of the opposite sex with every frown and smile. However, the right half is a dense skeleton. Apart from the harmonious proportions, there is no trace of beauty.

"Senior Silas, how long will it take to complete it if we have enough manpower?" Qi Ya looked at the old man and asked.

Silas poured a sip of ale into his stomach, uttered a cheerful syllable, and then said in a sighing tone:

"It will take almost three months! After all, slow work makes the most of careful work. A ship that can allow people to travel safely on cruel seas cannot be built overnight."

"" Qi Ya stared at the other person's wrinkled old face for three seconds, then tentatively said:

"For the previous conditions, I will prepare three months' supply for you, and I will pay you 0 beli after the ship is completed."

"Senior, tell me the truth, how long will it take?"

When Silas heard this, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said angrily:

"Boy, do you think I am coveting your three-month rations and ale? You are insulting my professional ethics as a shipwright! You are trampling on my personality and corrupting my spirit!!"

Qi Ya had a dark face. Hearing the official tone the other party spoke, he suspected that the other party had also traveled through time. He was about to say:

"Forget it, just three months!"

Hearing Silas' sudden change of conversation, the whole person seemed to calm down. He sighed helplessly and said:

"I also know that little brother, you are in a hurry. Let's do this. You send me someone, I will work overtime, and I will give you the boat in a week!"

"A week?"

Qi Jianhao mentally estimated the time it would take for him to prepare to go to sea, nodded in agreement, and then without stopping, he took Silas to the town to select manpower.

The title of clan leader is much more useful than Qi Ya expected.

Almost as soon as he spoke, few of the young and middle-aged laborers who were favored by Silas showed resistance. Occasionally, those who showed concerns on their faces were dismissed after he promised to pay the reward.

As mentioned before, most of the townspeople in Qishan Town are easily satisfied. They just want not to be troubled by food and clothing. This seems to be the product of the deliberate guidance of the clan elders.

This approach reminded Qi Ya of his mother country during the feudal period.

For rulers, the policy of obscuring the people is the most labor-saving and most effective way of governance.

From an objective point of view, he hates and resists this approach, but now as the beneficiary, he only wants to say two words: "It smells so good!"

After using the property of the Clan Elders Association to settle Silas and his team of 23 people, Qiya went to Patricia's restaurant and learned a few simple dishes to satisfy himself when he sailed on the sea soon. appetite.

At noon, after eating a few dark dishes he had made at the restaurant, Qi Ya came to Silas and their shipbuilding site to inspect.

In one morning, six simple tents were set up on the beach, and several newly cut trees were piled beside the original hull.

Silas was writing and drawing on the paper in front of him in one of the tents. Qiya turned his head and took a look, and found that the hand-drawn picture on it was the semi-finished ship, but it was a little different.

The feminine name "Vera" is written on the lower right side of the paper.

Seeing his employer arriving, Silas put down the charcoal in his hand and said to Qiya with some nostalgia:

"This is probably the last ship I will build in my life! In fact, if I hadn't met you today, I don't know whether this ship would have been completed."

"The sea is cruel. In the past 44 years, I have gone to sea 43 times. Although I was lucky enough to come back alive every time, my body was already broken."

"The sea no longer allows me to sail No. 40 four times. I was considering whether to leave my tattered body in the sea or continue to suffer and wait for the moment when the circular current disappears."

When Qi Jianhao heard this, he said:

"Senior, what is your choice now? This ship should be enough to accommodate the two of us, and I don't mind challenging the ring current with an experienced old man like you."

"When necessary, I can also protect you. Ordinary offshore sea monsters should not be a problem."

Silas thought carefully for a while, and finally shook his head slowly but firmly and said:

"If you are so powerful, I will only become a drag on you in the end. After trying 43 times, I am still lucky enough to come back. It is a blessing from God."

"I plan to take good care of my body for the rest of my life, betting that this circular current will disappear before I die."

"Little brother, if you can really break through the blockade of the circular current, I ask you to go to the Capital of Seven Waters on my behalf to see if there are two people named Carina and Vera."

"Carina is my wife, and Vera is my unborn child. If you meet them, please tell them that I have been thinking of them."

""More than 40 years have passed, and it's never been that easy to find two people in the vast sea of ​​people.

The result of rational judgment was this, but after Qi Ya pondered for a while, he nodded and agreed to the other party, promising that if he could break through the blockade and meet the two of them by chance, he would definitely convey his meaning to them.

He had previously wondered why Silas named the ship "Villa" instead of more meaningful names such as "Victory", "Success", "Arrival", and "Lucky".

Now that I think about it, it must have been the product of the old man's extreme longing for his unborn heir.

But there is still a question here. Qi Ya asked Silas, who was now in tears and drinking ale:

"Senior, since your child was not born yet, why did you give him such a feminine name? If this is a boy, aren't you afraid of causing trouble to him in the future?"

After hearing this, Silas looked around and whispered in Qiya's ear:

"At that time, a respected old nun made her own calculations and said that Carina was pregnant with a daughter."

Qi Ya curiously asked: "Has she accepted your Pele?"

"No." Silas affirmed, paused, and then added: "She asked us if we wanted a son. She said that for 10 Baileys, she spent her life praying to the gods to bring Carina into her belly. The child will be a boy.”

"We had just bought a house at the time, and we couldn't afford that much money, so we refused. Besides, I think my daughter is pretty good too."

Qi Ya smiled and said, "Senior is really an enlightened father."

If this matter were placed in the previous life, it would have been 100% done by liars, but this is the world of pirates, and all kinds of devil fruits emerge in an endless stream. Maybe the old nun has the ability to change the gender of a baby through the belly of a pregnant woman?

Considering this, Qi Jianhao did not express too many opinions on this, but asked Silas if he had encountered any problems in shipbuilding.

Silas answered in the negative.

Previously, the reason why the "Vera" was not completed was simply due to human and financial constraints.

Now, these two things have been solved by the new patriarch. The old man just feels like a fish in water and has no idea of ​​​​advancing. There is no need for his employer to worry about it.

Seeing that the shipbuilding matter was on track, Qi Ya did not stay longer at the scene, but went straight home to read the navigation books he bought from the clan elders' association.

The geography of the world of One Piece is rather peculiar. The Grand Route intersects vertically with the Red Continent, dividing the four oceans in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

Based on the various books he had read over the past three months and the memories of the elders in the town, he could roughly determine that beyond the circular current was the South China Sea among the four seas.

As for the South China Sea, Saki's limited impression was that the only original characters related to it were Ace, Kidd, Bonnie and Franky.

These four people were all born in the South China Sea, but there are very few plots involving the South China Sea in the original work, and the relevant information in the town was from 44 years ago. The specific situation still needs to be explored by himself.

Dinner was at Patricia's restaurant.

Since his personal wealth has bottomed out due to his increasing appetite, all future expenses will be recorded in the accounts of the clan elders association, which is also one of the clan leader's rights.

At first, Qi Ya felt a little guilty.

But after seeing the luxurious life of the Emerson family, he truly understood that poverty did limit his imagination, and that little entanglement disappeared.

He only had to wait for Silas and the others to build the boat in a week before he would go out to sea for adventure.

As Silas said, "The sea is cruel." Qi Ya is not completely sure that he can break through the ring current, let alone that he can come back alive after failure.

Therefore, the idea of ​​​​reforming the island's system was only fleeting.

To him, this thing was meaningless; to the townspeople, there was also a question mark as to whether changes were really needed.

No longer thinking about these things, after returning home with a full stomach, Qi Ya went to the backyard and drew out his sword "Garcia", gradually improving his proficiency.

The current proficiency of intermediate swordsmanship is 35100/1000000. It will become increasingly difficult to advance in the future, and as the number of tasks increases, he no longer has a long period of time to improve his proficiency.

After working for 3 hours and raising it to 1300 points, Saki Kenhao passed by and went back to the house to sleep.

Early the next morning, just as Qiya was getting dressed and about to walk out of the room, the wooden door was opened first, and April walked in from behind the door.

The other party was wearing a clean, retro, red and white miko uniform today. Her long, smooth black hair was tied into a ponytail. The bangs on her forehead were a little messy. The black hair on her temples stuck to her white, sweaty cheeks. superior.

As soon as she entered the room, Qi Ya smelled the familiar scent of "canary" flowers.

Their eyes met, and Aipuli said "good morning" generously.

"Good morning"

Qi Ya responded, then thought for a moment, and then said:

"April, do you still remember what I said when I first met you? At that time, I said, 'This small town can no longer carry my dreams.' It has been more than three months now, and I plan to go to sea."

Her eyebrows furrowed, and the little evil girl said, "Didn't you say stupid things like asking me to marry you when you first met me?"

Qia Ya: ""

Seeing that the other party didn't look like he was joking, the 14-year-old April imitated an adult and sighed:

"Seeing as you haven't mentioned it for so long, I thought you had forgotten it. Didn't the old man in the town tell you? You can't get out. Besides, wouldn't it be good to be a patriarch here?"

Qi Ya thought seriously for a while, and finally shook his head, "If you have a choice, who would want to live a life where you can see the end at a glance?"

After hearing this, Aipuli took a step back, looked Qiya up and down, frowned and said solemnly:

"Sorry, Qi Ya, I don't want to live a precarious life on the sea, so I won't go to sea with you."

"But if you are unfortunately driven back by the sea, I will still be willing to marry you as long as you are not paralyzed in bed."

"" Qi Ya didn't know whether he should feel relieved or helpless at the moment. After pondering for a moment, he said matter-of-factly:

"That's really a pity, April. In fact, I have already guessed the outcome. Before leaving, I will try to hand over the position of clan leader to you."

After the little evil girl lowered her head and was silent for a while, her tone became calmer and she said, "I'd rather give my elder brother the position of clan leader. He will be treated as the same as I am, and it will save less trouble."

"I will wait until you are 4 years old. If you don't come back by then, I will find someone else."

When she said this, Aipuli's tender face with a little baby fat was full of seriousness.
