Pirate's Swordsman

Can that be counted...

Xia Nuo clearly remembered that he had just asked Baby-5 to call Diamanti out. The matter had been settled long ago, so how could it continue until now?

"Anyway, what you say must count!"

baby-5 snorted and said firmly: "No matter what, I want to help Sir Xia Nuo!"

"..." Xia Nuo temporarily ignored this guy's unusual logic, then coughed lightly and said with relief: "You have already helped a lot. You must know that if not, Ivy..."

"This is not the kind of help I'm talking about!"

baby-5 was furious, and just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head and sat back down, clutching the hem of his skirt and hesitantly saying: "People, I mean, I want to become stronger, Being able to help Lord Xia Nuo in battle..."

Your true nature has been exposed...

Xia Nuoxu raised his eyes and complained in his mind, but with a frown on his face he asked: "In that case, why didn't you come to me earlier?"

"Because...because..." Baby-5 hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and whispered: "I have been practicing swordsmanship recently, and I want to wait until I become a swordsman to come to you. It will surprise you..."

"Swordsmanship? Swordsman?"

Xia Nuo was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "No, what's the point of this? How can a swordsman be so easy to practice? You are a devil fruit power user, you don't study your own abilities, and you become a monk halfway to practice swordsmanship. Well?"

baby-5 bit her lower lip and didn't answer.

"How about this."

Sighing slightly, Xia Nuo suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "I will tie my hands. No matter what method you use, as long as you can hurt me in close combat, then I will satisfy you." I request that I personally teach you swordsmanship."

"Hey, is it true?" baby-5 suddenly raised his head and asked with excitement on his face.

"Of course." Xia Nuo smiled slightly, "When did I ever go back on something I promised?"

"No!" A hint of joy flashed across baby-5's little face, and then it suddenly wrinkled. "What if you use the weapon color to harden it? Then even if I get hit, I won't be able to leave any scars at all!"

"Don't worry, it won't be needed." Xia Nuo laughed, "You just have to be bold and do it."

"Okay, that's it!"

Baby-5 jumped up from the ground without hesitation, spread his tall legs slightly, raised his arms, and assumed a posture ready for battle: "Please be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her right arm suddenly blurred with light and shadow, turning into an extremely sharp blade. Then with a low cry, she stabbed straight towards Xia Nuo's waist and abdomen.

laugh!

The speed of this sword is quite fast, which shows that Baby-5 planned to attack with all her strength from the beginning. However, before her sword blade touched Xia Nuo's clothes, the latter suddenly flashed and appeared a few meters away. corner.

"So fast!"

This was the first time Baby-5 experienced Xia Nuo's speed up close - she felt her eyes blurred and couldn't see clearly Xia Nuo's movement trajectory, and her sword blade had completely missed.

But after all, he had been a middle-level cadre in the Don Quixote family for several years. Baby-5 had no shortage of combat experience. He did not hesitate to turn his left arm into a huge scythe and slashed towards Xiano in the corner!

The area of ​​the training room is not very large, only more than 100 square meters. This huge sickle is five or six meters long. Cutting it at this angle almost blocks all the ways out.

However, Xia Nuo's expression did not change at all, but when the sickle blade came to his head only half a meter away, he suddenly took a step to the left, and at the same time bent his body slightly down, and found the thing between the lightning and flint. The only gap was able to easily escape the slash.

"Yes, damn..."

Several consecutive blows were easily dodged. Baby-5 started to panic a little, but the stubbornness in her heart made her quickly focus on the game in front of her. She gritted her teeth and spoke again. Stabbing close to the body, both arms turned into sword blades at the same time, slashing at Xia Nuo's shoulders and legs from different directions.

I have to say that it can really be seen that Baby-5 said that he has been practicing swordsmanship secretly these days.

Compared with when she first got on the ship, Xia Nuo obviously found that her approach to close combat was somewhat different from usual. Not only was the timing of her attacks more reasonable and appropriate, but she was also able to use two sword blades to create continuous attacks. There is a whole set of sword moves. If you are not careful and get entangled by a sword, it will probably be difficult to escape for a while.

But unfortunately, in terms of close combat, if we use the rank system as an analogy, no matter whether Baby-5 is promoted from silver to gold, in the eyes of Xia Nuo, who started at least in the diamond rank, there is no difference.

Absolute speed suppression and perfect control of sight and color allowed Xia Nuo to easily dodge any attack from Baby-5 without even moving much from beginning to end.

On the contrary, as time went by, baby-5's physical strength was close to being exhausted, and the attack rhythm began to become slower and slower. After more than ten minutes, he was already covered in sweat, and his maid uniform was soaked, as if he had just Like fished out of water.

"Isn't it time to give up?"

After avoiding another horizontal slash from his ear without changing his expression, Xia Nuo looked at the exhausted baby-5 and chuckled, "With the speed you're slowing down now, I'm afraid you won't be on land before Dabai." You climbed up so fast, do you still think there is hope of getting close to me..."

"Dabai..."

The timing of this stab was perfect. Baby-5's little face suddenly turned red. After standing there holding it in for a long time, he restored his arm to its original shape, panted and sat down on the floor, and said angrily: " I lost!"

This child's angry temper made Xia Nuo laugh and shake his head. He took a few steps forward and sat down cross-legged in front of Baby-5, and asked softly: "Now do you know why I don't want to teach you swordsmanship?" ?”

Baby-5 is now feeling sore and tired all over. After working hard for a long time, he still didn't get the results he wanted. Hearing this, he felt aggrieved and angry, and he didn't want to give a good answer at all:

"Because you are stingy, so stingy!"

"This has nothing to do with being stingy." Xia Nuo took a clean towel from the nearby wooden rack and handed it to baby-5. Then he looked at the angry black-haired maid girl and said with a smile. :

"Since you don't want to be a drag, you should first face yourself and recognize your strengths and weaknesses. You must know that human energy and talent are limited after all. Only by choosing the right route can you change. Be stronger and help me in the war."

"Obviously, your talent has never been focused on close combat. In other words, swordsmanship is not suitable for you."
