Pirate's Swordsman

"I think everyone can guess the reason why I came back this time."

After returning to the topic, Xia Nuo glanced at the people at the table and said in a deep voice: "Moriya Moonlight, one of the Shichibukai under the King, was defeated by a newcomer named Ace from the East China Sea. The Navy Headquarters plans to hold a Shichibukai meeting. , to make up for the vacant Shichibukai position."

Everyone nodded. This incident has caused a sensation in the whole world recently, and newspapers are full of news. Naturally, they have heard about it.

"The Shichibukai Conference was held twice last year, but I was busy at that time and didn't have anything important to do, so I was too lazy to go there."

After a pause, Xia Nuo's eyes moved slightly and continued: "But I happen to be free this time, and I'm a little interested in Moria, so I'm going to accept the invitation from the navy and leave tomorrow morning. A trip to Marinephant."

"Sure enough..."

Hearing this, Ross Daniel and others looked at each other with regret and disappointment, while Cavendish sighed and couldn't help asking: "Sir, why are you leaving just after you come back? What will you get this time?" When can we come back?"

"It might be a while."

Xia Nuo pondered for a while and chuckled: "The distance is not that big. I will let Xiao Luo drive me. It won't take much time to go back and forth. It's just that my swordsmanship bottleneck has finally been loosened recently, so I plan to finish attending the Shichibukai Conference." Then, travel around for a while to see if I can find an opportunity for a breakthrough."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look startled, and then they all showed expressions of surprise.

As officers on the ship, they all knew more or less that their captain Xia Nuo had entered a bottleneck period in his kendo realm more than half a year ago which was extremely difficult to overcome.

At that time, everyone could see Xia Nuo sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, meditating and meditating all day long. At the same time, he also increased the intensity of his daily practice, but there was still no breakthrough in his swordsmanship for a long time.

After that, Xia Nuo frequently left the Gale and traveled around the New World for the same reason.

"A breakthrough is finally coming?" Ross chuckled, grinning widely, "Ha! I knew the captain would be able to overcome that hurdle, and I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

He is the swordsman with the highest level of swordsmanship on the ship besides Xia Nuo and Fujitora. He knows better than other cadres how difficult the bottleneck Xia Nuo faces is to overcome.

In Ross's view, Xia Nuo was already the world's top swordsman. With his terrifying swordsmanship, he could even compete head-on with the Four Emperors and Admirals. But in the final analysis, there were still disadvantages in other aspects. If you fight against time, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

The shocking battle with BIMOM on Cake Island a year and a half ago is the best example.

But if Xia Nuo can cross that threshold and elevate the realm of swordsmanship to a more mysterious and advanced level...

Ross believes that, let alone just one BIGMOM, even if he is facing off against any top player in the world, his own captain will definitely be worthy and can be evenly matched with the opponent without falling behind.

"Well, we are indeed about to break through."

Seeing everyone's excitement, Xia Nuo admitted it generously. Then he thought about it, turned to look at Fujitora, and said a little embarrassedly:

"If we go out this time, we probably won't be able to come back for at least a few months. There will be people on board to guard the ship. Uncle Yixiao, I need to trouble you a little more."

"Since I'm the deputy captain, this is my duty as well, so I can't talk about it."

Fujitora shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"Just go out and leave everything to me."

……

About an hour later, the long-awaited all-cadre meeting of the Gale Fleet ended successfully.

After explaining that he was going to Marineland, Xia Nuo also made some arrangements for the approximate route of the Gale and the future crew work coordination, and then directly let everyone disperse and go back to rest.

Ross, Daniel, Cavendish and others, although they were eagerly counting on Xiano to teach them their swordsmanship, they were more aware of the priorities of things. They saw that Xiano was still tired even after bathing and changing clothes. With a tired face, he immediately followed the other cadres out with a tacit understanding, leaving Xia Nuo, who had been running all the way, enough time to recuperate.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Nuo was the only one left in the entire spacious conference room.

"These guys are getting along well..."

He stretched out and walked to the porthole, looking at the people on the deck below who were dispersing with laughter and fun.

He hadn't been back for several months. Whether it was these familiar people and scenery, or the still relaxed and lively atmosphere on the ship, he missed it very much, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

What makes Xia Nuo even more gratified is that after this period of getting along with each other, the several pirate groups that joined behind the Gale Fleet have become more harmonious with each other. Cavendish and Luo are even more familiar with those who were the first to board the ship. The senior cadres have an excellent relationship with each other.

Although they occasionally quarrel and make noise, it does not affect the friendship after all. On the contrary, it adds a bit of fun to the boring life of wandering at sea.

Of course, there are always exceptions to everything...

Turning his eyes to a lonely and indifferent tall figure among the many cadres leaving on the deck, Xia Nuo narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.

The man had a beard and a black hat. He was about 20 years old. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyebrows were very distinctive. They were raised to the left and right, like two scythes of death.

As a time traveler, with the familiar face and appearance of the other person, he could recognize the other person's identity at first sight even if it was their first meeting.

"Rob Lucci..."

Xia Nuo whispered to himself.

Speaking of which, when the Heart Pirates arrived in the new world a year ago and went through all the trouble to find them and offered to join, Shano was very welcoming.

Firstly, it was because the Hayate Pirates at that time had a plan to expand their sphere of influence. Secondly, it was the sincerity and sincerity that Shano saw in the eyes of Telfa and Elga Law that made him know The latter did not come to seek refuge because of another agenda, but simply out of respect for him and gratitude for helping him avenge and kill Doflamingo.

Taking into account Luo's character and medical skills, as well as the potential and value of the surgical fruits, the Heart Pirates can be said to be the most reassuring partner options. After being included under their command, it has filled the gap in the previous overall strength of the Gale Pirates. Few vacancies.

However, what Xia Nuo never expected when he first met Luo Luo was that the other party would unexpectedly take Luo Bruqi, who was forced to leave CP9 and wanted by the World Government, on board the ship.

And after the entire Red Heart Pirates joined the Gale Fleet, this guy naturally became his subordinate inexplicably.
