Pirate's Swordsman

The tall figure sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed is none other than Akainu, one of the three most powerful generals in the Navy Headquarters.

"What opinions can I have?"

After hearing Sengoku's question, Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly under his white peaked cap and said expressionlessly:

"Don't you always hope that this kid can shake up the inherent structure of the Four Emperors after entering the new world? Now he has achieved part of it. Isn't it a good thing to be happy about?"

"Don't say such things at this time, Sakaski."

Warring States sighed and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "I originally had this idea, but who would have thought that this guy would be able to do this just over a year ago?"

"It's really amazing that Big was able to do this by inflicting heavy losses on Big, destroying Cake Island into ruins, and inflicting heavy casualties on the Charlotte family."

After what Sengoku said, Akainu stopped talking nonsense and said slowly and in a deep voice: "This brat's strength has improved too fast. If this continues, even if he really messes up the new world, he will still have a headache first. Definitely not the Yonko, but our Navy Headquarters.”

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Warring States nodded slightly and sighed: "Although he still maintains his status as King Shichibukai, you and I actually know that this alliance is not so strong and reliable."

"So, pirates are still pirates after all."

There was a hint of sarcasm on Akainu's lips: "When they are not strong enough, they will be more eager for the establishment of this covenant than us, and when their strength grows enough to ignore the headquarters' pursuit, this covenant will become Waste paper that can be thrown away at any time.”

"of course."

Having said this, he paused and added calmly: "This is just a matter of fact. I have no objection to the Shichibukai system."

"I really like watching the show where the dog bites the dog and bites the dog."

"Then what do you think our headquarters should do with the Gale Swordsman Xia Nuo?"

Warring States was silent for a while, and then asked: "After all, as long as the other party does not tear up the alliance, he will always be one of the seven warriors under the king, and he will be on the side of our navy."

"It's very simple, just continue to treat it with the original attitude on the surface."

Akainu thought for a while and replied briefly and forcefully: "He will still be notified of the Shichibukai meeting, and he will be recruited when he needs to be recruited. And if he kills a pirate and asks for the bounty from us, we will continue to pay him in full. .”

"but"

At this point, his eyes suddenly became stern and his voice became colder: "On the other hand, we must also keep a close eye on him and pay attention to his big movements at all times. As long as he shows a little bit of disregard, If there are signs of an alliance, then our headquarters must take the first step and take action decisively."

Akainu raised his right hand and suddenly passed it through the air, making a beheading motion.

"We absolutely cannot tolerate the emergence of another powerful Yonko in the new world."

Shampoo Islands, somewhere on the dockside in the illegal zone.

A pirate ship docked on the shore, and several coaters were busy around it. On the far shore, a group of figures in white work clothes gathered together, taking turns reading two newspapers they had just bought.

They were the Heart Pirates who had just arrived in Shampoo Land after several months of sailing.

"Captain, I really didn't expect to see news about Boss Xia Nuo in the newspaper so soon."

A tall and thin man with hair like a sea urchin, after reading the report in his hand, passed it to his partner next to him and couldn't help but sigh:

"Obviously I just defeated Katakuri, but it hasn't even been half a year yet, and I've actually pushed Big to this level. It's simply amazing."

"yes"

White Bear Beibo, who was standing opposite, agreed deeply, "With this kind of strength, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can match it."

The remaining crew members of the Red Heart Pirates, who were also still in shock at this moment, nodded subconsciously after hearing this.

big charlotte ling ling.

Although they had spent most of their time in the North Sea and had not yet entered the second half of the Grand Line, they were not unfamiliar with this name at all.

That was one of the four emperors who ruled the new world like an emperor. He was a terrifying existence that truly stood at the top of this ocean. Apart from the other four emperors, there were only a handful of navy marshals and generals who could compare with him. Countless people.

Although the previous Katakuri was equally powerful and terrifying, with a bounty of more than one billion, in the final analysis, he was still far inferior to his mother Big in terms of popularity and strength.

And now.

Such a famous and powerful man actually had a head-on conflict with the benefactor of his own captain, Xia Nuo, whom he wanted to defect to. After a fierce battle for nearly ten hours, he was seriously injured.

Even if the reinforcements from the outer islands hadn't arrived, the dying big would most likely have died on the spot.

Although the battle between the two ended in Big's victory, there was no doubt that in their eyes, Xia Nuo, who was defeated, was already on the same level as his opponent.

"The head of Xiano is indeed worthy of admiration."

At this time, Luo finally spoke in a deep voice, with a strange light in his eyes, and the fingers holding the sword hilt trembled slightly. It was obvious that his heart was not as calm as on the surface:

"He is only nineteen years old now. Although it seems that he is still a little behind the level of the Four Emperors for the time being, but he will continue to develop at this rate."

"Who can predict what the future will be like?"

Having said this, he raised his head, held his leopard print hat with one hand, and looked at the distant sky. After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled:

"It's a new world. It's really exciting."

Meanwhile, not far away.

Among the several coaters who were coating the ship, a white-haired old man wearing round glasses suddenly turned his head and glanced at the Heart Pirates with interest.

"Are they actually the followers of that boy? This world is really small."

He retracted his observation and curled up the corner of his mouth, "But speaking of it, it's really a bit exaggerated. Even Big almost fell into his hands. Tsk, I haven't paid attention to the newspaper for a few days, and yet such an explosive news suddenly popped up again. information."

"Well, once Kailar finds out, I'll probably be able to treat him to a few drinks for free."

The principality of Sambia, the royal capital.

"Your Highness Princess, Your Highness Princess"

A sudden hurried shout came from the corridor of the palace, and on the balcony on the second floor, the silver-haired girl who was concentrating on flipping through documents couldn't help but turn around when she heard the sound, looked at the visitor and smiled:

"What's wrong, Lesock, you're in such a hurry? Could it be that you did something bad again? Your wife found out and was chased all the way to my refuge."

"what"

Leisock, who finally ran all the way to the balcony, was panting. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to glance guiltily. When he saw no one behind him, he realized what he was doing, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile. :

"Your Highness Hill, please stop looking for my happiness. This time I am really not hiding from her. I have something serious to report to you."

The silver-haired girl is Hill. Compared to two years ago, she looks more mature and steady now, but her temperament is still the same as before, with a hint of perseverance in her purity.

In the past two years, as the Grand Duke of Sambia grew older, she, as the only royal bloodline, had assumed most of the responsibilities for political affairs. After spending a lot of time and energy, she finally with difficulty transferred her from the royal family. The Principality of Sambia, which had emerged from the pain of the Vulcan Cult, gradually got back on the right track of development and won the support of all the people.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Grand Duke of Sambia abdicates in a few years, she will take over the power and become the first female Grand Duke in the history of the Principality of Sambia.

now.

After hearing Lesock's words, she finally closed the document in her hand and showed an interested expression: "Oh, this is such a big deal."

"yes"

Lesock nodded hurriedly and handed over a newspaper with excitement: "This is the latest report that has come out recently. You will understand after reading it."

Hilda raised her eyebrows slightly, but without saying anything, she reached out and took the newspaper.

Immediately, after just a glance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, revealing a look of disbelief on her face.

"The battle with the Four Emperors was actually inextricable, and both of them were injured in the end."

After reading it carefully again, her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

After a while.

"Is there any follow-up news?"

Under Lesok's uneasy gaze, she suddenly said: "He was so big that his injuries shouldn't be life-threatening."

"It's mentioned later in the second edition."

Rysock hurriedly pointed to the newspaper and replied: "It seems that the Giant Soldier Pirates have very high-level doctors, so they were rescued in the end. It will take a lot of time to recover at most, so it shouldn't be a serious problem."

"That's good."

Hill was obviously relieved. She put down the newspaper in her hand, walked to the railing, felt the breeze blowing in her face, and suddenly showed a peaceful smile.

"That's great, Xiano."

In a voice that only she could hear, she murmured in a low voice: "I've gotten to where I am today step by step. My dream of being the world's greatest swordsman is already very, very close."

"It's amazing."

"By the way, my dream is about to come true. The Principality of Sambia is about to return to its original prosperity."

"only"

At this point, her expression suddenly dimmed a bit, and her voice became silent.

just.

Although the dream has come true, the distance between us is also getting farther and farther.

If this continues, the future

Is there still a chance to meet you?

Frost Island, where the fifth division of the Whitebeard Pirates is stationed.

Bista, who had just had lunch, walked out of his home humming a tune and walked along the cobblestone path towards the training ground.

He has been in a good mood recently. After this period of hard training, he clearly feels that his swordsmanship bottleneck is showing signs of loosening. If this continues, he will soon be able to take a further step in his swordsmanship.

And by that time

"hey-hey."

Recalling his experience of a disastrous defeat at the hands of Xia Nuo about half a year ago, Bista couldn't help but grin. He was now looking forward to the scene where they would compete again the next time the two met again.

Although he may not win, as long as that guy fails to predict his progress, he will definitely be surprised after the fight.

Even if you are lucky enough, it is not impossible to tie.

"what"

Just as he was thinking happily, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that several of his subordinates were gathering at the door of the training ground, concentrating on reading a newspaper with their heads bent, and making exclamations from time to time.

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong?"

He became somewhat interested, walked up to them, patted them on the back, and asked with a smile: "It's just a newspaper, why is it crowded like this? Is there any big news recently?"
