One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 57 Nokigo's Determination
The total accumulated amount was 7650, bringing the remaining points to 46150.

It's not surprising that Garp's dog-head hat is worth four thousand.

But the counterfeit straw hat that he bought for 500 berries and swapped it out could actually contribute 3,000, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the original one. It was a pleasant surprise.

Shanuo hadn't expected much.

It seems that as long as Luffy never realizes that it is the real thing, he will naturally pour a lot of emotion into it and regard it as the most precious item.

Before entering the Grand Line, I will be able to attract a large number of leeks every year.

comfortable.

Xia Nuo withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and prepared to have a good sleep. The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that a new skill had appeared at the end of his skill bar panel.

——Stealing (small success).

This is really unreasonable.

Isn't this all about earning points and protecting my hometown and family? Can a martial artist's actions be called stealing?
……

The next morning.

Shano and others left the Korpo Mountains, bid farewell to the enthusiastic Dadan family, the reluctant Luffy, and the stern-faced Ace, and embarked on the journey back home.

After driving for a few days.

On the Orangery, Shanuo was lying on a wicker chair, holding a newspaper and reading it with great interest.

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a piece of news that interested him - the latest Asakurajima Kendo Tournament officially ended yesterday. A dark horse girl named Kuina amazed everyone and easily won the championship.

"Winning with a perfect record? This training progress is really impressive."

Kuina really wants to improve.

Not only does she want to catch up with someone who is her idol, but she also wants to prove herself to Koshiro, who has always been prejudiced against her and even said hurtful words to her face.

After they met last year, Xia Nuo felt that beneath the girl's seemingly sensible and polite appearance, she clearly had a stubborn heart that longed to stand at the top.

"By the time I officially set sail and you board the ship, how far will your strength have progressed?"

Xia Nuo looked towards the end of the sky with a leisurely gaze.

With Zhepu's guidance, the various physical skills manuals she provided, and most importantly, her exceptional talent in swordsmanship, she crossed the line between life and death that had no subsequent consequences...

He was looking forward to this partner whom he had already designated as the second official crew member.

"Damn it, are we going back so soon?"

Nami's angry muttering came from behind.

Just as Xia Nuo came back to his senses, he felt a chill on his neck. It was the little guy lying on his back, strangling his neck and shaking him hard, "Brother! Why don't you play with me for a while longer? Otherwise, when we pass by Shuangyue Village, you can put me down."

"Going home in a straight line is a shortcut, and you don't have to go through Shimotsuki Village. Besides, what can you do there?"

Xia Nuo was too lazy to pay attention and picked up the newspaper again. As for his neck? He had long ago trained his body to resemble a crane. If Nami could really strangle her, she must be quite capable.

"Well..." Nami rolled her eyes and started to act coquettishly, "I actually really want to be like you, become a powerful swordsman, defend my hometown, and protect Bell-mère and Nokiko! And since Kuina-sama is about to go back, I...I'll go and learn swordsmanship from her!"

"Ah……"

Shanuo sneered. Who would believe such a reason except the adult version of Sanji?

"Nami!"

Nokigo's voice suddenly rang out from behind. She angrily grabbed Nami's ear and forcibly pulled her off from behind Shanuo.

"How shameless! I told you my true feelings last night, and you actually learned it and used it to deceive your brother!"

"It hurts! Oooooh, I didn't mean to do that, Nokiko."

"Then tell the truth! What on earth do you want to do in Shimotsuki Village?!"

"I want to eat Uncle Zhepu's cooking, don't you, Nokiko? Those dishes taste hundreds of times better than Bell-mère's! I'm drooling just thinking about it..."

"I will tell Belle-Mère these words exactly as they are."

"Eh?!!! Help, no!"

……

Listening to the scolding coming from behind, Xia Nuo happily crossed his legs and continued reading the newspaper.

This is probably the case of "there is always someone stronger than you". Nami is fearless in front of him, but as soon as Nokiko appears, she immediately becomes a marshmallow that can be easily kneaded.

In the past, the two little guys were not convinced by each other and often fought.

But as Nojiko entered puberty, the height difference between the two gradually widened, and this problem no longer existed.

Now the twelve-year-old Noki is already 1.6 meters tall, but Nami is only 1.4 meters tall and is still a little kid. The difference in combat power is too great, and the elder sister's authority has gradually been established.

But, just now Nojigo said that Nami copied her thoughts?
"Don't lecture her yet." Xia Nuo turned around and asked curiously, "Is what Nami said true? Do you really want to practice swordsmanship to become stronger and protect our hometown in my place in the future?"

"I want to become stronger, and I also want to protect my hometown."

Nojiko nodded at first, then poked Nami's forehead in anger. "You can learn anything to become stronger. The sword skills were just something this little naughty kid made up!"

"What nonsense? This is just a reasonable guess, okay?"

Nami touched her red ears, aggrieved, "You told me last night that Kuina, the girl from Koshiro's family, is the same age as you, but she's qualified to compete for the Kendo Tournament Championship and was even invited by her brother to go on an adventure on the ship together."

"And you couldn't even beat the village goose. You must have been so irritated. I naturally assumed you wanted to learn swordsmanship, too..."

She snorted and pointed at Shano.

"But if you ask me, why would you go to Mr. Koshiro to learn swordsmanship? You should let your brother teach you. He is the strongest swordsman in the East Sea... No, he is the strongest swordsman in the world. He is much more powerful than Koshiro!"

"It's getting more and more exaggerated."

Shanuo pinched Nami's nose in annoyance. He pondered for a moment, then looked at Nojiko. "I can't teach you swordsmanship, but you have plenty of other physical skills to learn. In the early stages of building your foundation, I can tailor a training plan that's most suitable for you. Later, if there are any secret manuals that suit you, I'll find a way to get them for you."

"But Nojigo, think about it carefully. Are you really sure you can endure this hardship?"

"can!"

Nuo Qigao clenched his fists and nodded earnestly, "Don't underestimate my determination, brother!"

Of course she knew how tiring it was to practice to become a strong person. In the past few years, Xia Nuo had been practicing hard every day, and she was the one who delivered the most water and food. She would never forget the self-abuse and desperate look of him.

But this is all to protect Kokoasi Village, and more importantly, to protect them, isn't it?

Especially in the past few months, her brother was so nervous and a little crazy that she was a little scared watching him from afar.

Fortunately, after defeating the invading pirate group, my brother obviously relaxed and returned to his original state.

But no matter what, she didn't want to go on like this and be a useless burden forever, and she didn't want her brother to be distracted and worry about their safety.

Now that my brother is at home, no one dares to disturb the tranquility of Kekoyasi Village, but what about the future?
My brother is a man with great ambitions. He will definitely leave and explore the world in the future.

At that time, it would be up to her, as the eldest daughter, to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of protecting her younger sister and mother!

Xia Nuo stared at the blue-haired girl quietly, and the girl raised her head stubbornly and looked at him.

"I haven't noticed you've grown up so much, Nojigo."

Xia Nuo suddenly felt a little emotional, and rubbed her little head with a smile, "Since you have this awareness, then well, when we return to the village, we will officially start training. I still have the training ground in the orange orchard, so it's just right to give it to you now."

"Ok!"

Nuo Qigao nodded vigorously. She didn't expect to get Xia Nuo's support so easily, and she felt very happy.

"What about me, brother?"

Nami pulled out an orange from somewhere and started eating it, then asked vaguely, "I was just joking before! I just want to study navigation, read books, draw pictures, and draw nautical charts. I don't want to be forced to run dozens of kilometers every day..."

"None of your business, go play."

Xia Nuo lay down again and shook the newspaper, raising the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, "If even a little guy like you has to be forced to practice physical skills, then all the sweat we tall guys have worked up front will be wasted, right?"

Tall guy? All that sweat in vain?

What does that mean? Nami was confused and put a slice of orange into her mouth with a bewildered look on her face.

Nuo Qigao beside her chuckled and imitated Xia Nuo to gently rub her little head.

……

Ten days later.

The Orange Garden returned to Cocoyasi Village and resumed its mission as a cargo ship.

After waking up from a good sleep, it was time for the trading market to refresh. Xia Nuo started flipping through the pages while brushing his teeth.

The first two items had too low a price-performance ratio, so he was not interested and simply skipped them. But when he got to the third item, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Have you finally waited for your life to be returned?

Shanuo's right hand, which was brushing his teeth, suddenly became eager and forceful.

He has been looking forward to this thing for a long time. In this year, the values ​​of his physical body have increased too quickly, and his micro-control ability can't keep up for a while.

The reason why I accidentally twisted the steel frame of the birthday cake cart into a knot and why I was afraid to move around too much when sitting on the dining chair was because of this.

Click...

The toothbrush in his hand was suddenly broken, and Xia Nuo was speechless. Well, there was one more piece of evidence.

He had no choice but to stop early and start rinsing his mouth, his eyes fixed on the lines of description.

"Do I need to learn how to make iron blocks and paper paintings first?"

Xia Nuo frowned. He had already mastered the Iron Block, but what about the Paper Drawing? He hadn't mastered the remaining two Six Forms in the past few months.

I hate the pre-requisites the most. When can I learn them?

He added it to the shopping cart somewhat angrily, then slid to the next item.

Ok?
Xia Nuo stared at the new product in front of him, and his brows, which had been knotted just now, relaxed instantly.
