Pirate's Swordsman

"So when did you return to China?" Xia Nuo heard this and asked, "After we parted ways on Dulu Island that day?"

"Absolutely." Hill nodded slightly and said softly, "It's been almost half a year since I came back. After meeting Rethock, I have been lobbying for the Anti-Church Army."

"That's it."

Xia Nuo understood immediately. Although what Hill said was plain, it was obvious that the anti-church army's power could expand to such an extent in just a few months, connecting it from north to south. She was definitely a flower. A lot of effort went into it.

When we think of this silver-haired girl who is clearly only a teenager, running around in anonymity in the past few years, it is difficult not to feel a complex emotion of pity and admiration in our hearts.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Nuo said sincerely. He has always respected such people.

"This is what I should do." Hill's weak face was still smiling, "This is my hometown, my motherland. No matter what, I can't sit back and watch a group of pirates who have done all kinds of evil succeed in stealing the country here. "

The chat reached noon in a blink of an eye, and the conversation between the two gradually deepened. Hill asked about Xia Nuo's current situation, and Xia Nuo naturally responded to this one by one, and introduced the crew members next to her, and everyone I had just been listening for a long time, and I also had a good impression of this girl with a strong personality, and her responses were quite enthusiastic.

Unknowingly, it was past twelve o'clock at noon, and a sumptuous lunch was served. Everyone in the Hayate Pirates group sat around the long table and started to eat lively.

I have to say that Ivy's cooking skills are really good, and she is also very adaptable. Even with limited ingredients in the church, she was able to cook such a large table of delicacies in various ways, which made everyone couldn't help but Amazed again and again.

Even Xia Nuo felt that he was not as good as him. Although he had stayed at the Barati restaurant for several years, at that time, he mainly focused on physical training and swordsmanship practice, and did not pay much attention to cooking skills. Therefore, he was not as good as a real professional. In comparison, it is indeed quite a bit behind.

The little girls who were rescued were also on the list. After a night of comfort, the emotions of these children have stabilized a lot. They are also very close to Xia Nuo. They are also eating very happily at this time, with a long-lost look on their little faces. smile.

However, the peaceful days are short-lived after all.

After another night, in the early morning of the next day, news came from Resoke that they had successfully captured the city of Puton. The main force of the anti-church army had begun to gather. The decisive battle with the Holy See was coming soon. I hope Princess Hill went over early to meet up.

Naturally, Hill would not shirk this. She had chosen to stay in the church in this small town just to catch up with Shano. At the same time, she had sufficient confidence in whether Resoke could capture the city of Puton. The domestic situation has reached this point. In the first step, as a princess, it was time for her to step onto the stage and serve as a banner to coordinate the various anti-church armies to take back her own homeland.

But before leaving, this girl with a heroic temperament looked at Xia Nuo and hesitated to speak. In the end, she just smiled and waved, and then rode a horse, accompanied by several entourages, and disappeared into the small town. End of town.

After watching Hill leave, the members of the Gale Pirates returned to the church. Kidd followed Xia Nuo. He hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking, "I said, Xia Nuo, that girl is your friend after all." Well, you really don’t want to help me.”

However, Xia Nuo ignored him and just turned his eyes to Kira, who immediately understood and took out a thick stack of wanted posters from the backpack behind him and handed it to Xia Nuo's hand.

"what is this"

Kidd looked over strangely and found that these wanted posters were yellowed and old, and most of the pirates in the photos were a little older, or at least middle-aged.

"This is the wanted poster that Brother Xia Nuo asked me to find last night."

Seeing that her brother was confused, Kira kindly explained a few words beside him, "I found it based on what Miss Hill said. If there is no coincidence, the names in these wanted posters are Thieves, nine out of ten are the same people who are pretending to be gods and ghosts in the church now."

So that's what happened. Kidd immediately understood. He knew that Kira had been in the habit of collecting bounty orders in the past few years. It was also because of this reason that he was able to recognize Xia Nuo. Unexpectedly, he sent him again at this time. use.

"Golden Right Fist Dio, boatswain of the Flame Pirates, with a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"Ghost Sword Hunter Jikara, deputy captain of the Flame Pirates, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

""Flame" Mort, captain of the Flame Pirates, has a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

Kidd looked at these wanted notices from the side. After reading them out subconsciously, he couldn't help but gasped, "How can the Flame Pirates with so many bounties worth over 100 million be so powerful?"

"If you are not strong, you will not be able to return to the original place with a full harvest after making a name for yourself on the Grand Line."

Xia Nuo, who was looking through the wanted poster, said lightly that the facts are indeed as Kidd said. The overall strength of the Flame Pirates, which was founded more than ten years ago, is really scary. The general bounty for the cadres is tens of millions. The above-mentioned ones, headed by a few, are worth more than 100 million. In the first half of the great route, it can be called an unparalleled luxury lineup.

If these guys hadn't gotten older and had the desire to return home, they might have gone to the New World for a few more years, and then been directly ordered by the World Government to become the King of the Shichibukai.

However, for Xia Nuo now, these pirate bounties are high, but he still ignores most of them. The only thing worthy of attention is that the bounty is as high as 29 billion, which is a head higher than what he has now. Captain "Flame" Morte.

The reason why I say this is because Hill mentioned that the reason why the Vulcan Cult has achieved such great development in just a few years is inseparable from the pirate captain who now plays the role of the Pope.

This man always claims to be the spokesperson of the God of Fire in the world in front of the people, and he has indeed demonstrated a few seemingly miraculous operations, such as conjuring flames out of thin air, igniting flames on his body, and walking through raging fires. Being unscathed and the like, when this happens in front of their eyes, it is undoubtedly quite incredible for the residents of a relatively closed country like the Principality of Sambia.

Of course, it is impossible for Xia Nuo to believe these tricks. In his opinion, the most likely reason for this behavior is that this guy is a Devil Fruit user, and it is most likely a natural Devil Fruit similar to the Burning Fruit. Considering In the timeline where Ace is still hanging out with Luffy and the others in Goa Kingdom, and will not go to sea for at least two years, even if this guy named Mort is really a user with the ability to burn the burning fruit, it doesn't seem to be surprising.
