Pirate's Swordsman

"..."

Dasqi, who was stopped, heard this familiar voice, stopped in silence for a moment, then raised his head slightly to look at the person, and said in a low voice:

"Colonel Tina, are you trying to stop me?"

The person who came was a tall and beautiful woman with sassy light pink hair parted in the middle. She was wearing a justice cloak with rose red epaulettes. She had a cigarette in the corner of her mouth. She was full of aura.

It was none other than the captain of the Navy Headquarters, Smoker's best friend at the same time, and a person with the power of the threshold fruit, Tina.

"Tina doesn't know."

Looking at the expressionless Dusqi, Tina's heart suddenly softened, and her originally cold tone softened, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said:

"But no matter what, Tina must remind you that this is not the time for your revenge. During the Shichibukai Conference, there must be no trouble in this department."

"why?"

Dasqi looked at her blankly: "Just because he became a Shichibukai, Mr. Smoker can only die in vain like this?"

"You could say that, but not just for that reason."

Tina sighed and lowered her voice a little: "It doesn't matter if it is another Shichibukai, but that man's combat power is enough to actively ignore the Shichibukai covenant. Now that the new world is in turmoil, this headquarters cannot do without it. With such a powerful ally, the relationship between the two parties must not have friction at this time..."

"Please don't tell me these big things."

Dasqi interrupted her and looked at Tina indifferently, "The strategic planning of this headquarters has nothing to do with me. Today, I just want to do what I should do."

The moment the words fell.

Swish!

She suddenly stepped on her toes, and activated one of the six moves, "Shaving", bypassing Tina and rushing towards Xia Nuo in the distance as fast as a cheetah.

"Tina is very disappointed."

Tina, who was thrown away, did not immediately pursue her. She seemed not surprised by this scene. She just shook her head slightly, then raised an arm from her cloak and murmured in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Dusky."

Chi Chi!

Accompanied by the sudden sound of breaking wind, iron branches like fences suddenly jumped out from her arms, extending towards the back at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

In just two or three breaths, Tiejian caught up with Dasqi, who was more than ten meters away, and entangled the latter.

"let me go!"

Dasqi, who was suddenly restrained, immediately fell into rage and struggled desperately.

however.

These iron sills imbued with armed domineering were extremely strong. No matter how much she drew her sword and slashed them, they were not damaged at all. On the contrary, the excessive movement attracted the attention of many naval soldiers around them.

Xia Nuo and Taotu, who were a hundred meters away, seemed to have noticed the situation here, stopped talking, and turned to look over.

"It seems that we can only do it ruthlessly."

Seeing this scene, Tina's heart tightened, and she immediately stopped holding back. The iron threshold she controlled suddenly shrank, instantly pulling Dasqi back into her embrace, and quickly slashed down with a hand knife, killing the latter. on the back of the head and knocked him unconscious.

As soon as Dasqi lost consciousness, Taotu came over and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on, Tina?"

"Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit."

Tina immediately raised her hands to salute, then glanced at Dasqi who was lying in her arms, and said with a chuckle: "It's nothing. The young man suffered a little injustice in the dojo and had a little temper with Tina. Tina will do it now Take her back."

"Is that so..."

Taotu raised her eyebrows slightly. She clearly saw something, but her face remained calm. She nodded and said: "Okay, you can solve it yourself. Pay attention to the impact. If you are free tomorrow, come to me to report the specific situation. "

"Yes, Lieutenant General."

Tina knows that there are some things that cannot be said clearly in front of Xia Nuo, and Taotu's way of handling it is the best.

She saluted another military salute, took a deep look at Xia Nuo in the distance, then hugged the unconscious Dasqi and strode away without looking back.

"The subordinates were having some conflicts."

After Tina left, Taotu returned to Xia Nuo. He smiled and covered up what happened just now, "It was just a little thing to make you laugh."

"is it?"

Xia Nuo glanced at her with a half-smile, and Taotu felt a little scared. Just when she was about to explain something, the latter raised her hand to stop her, "There's no need to explain to me, I didn't take it to heart."

Taotu was speechless and could only laugh bitterly. Sure enough, with the other party's terrifying appearance, how could he not detect the strange movement in the crowd even though he was hundreds of meters away?

I'm afraid that the big boss had already noticed the female major as soon as she had the intention to kill...

Her guess was not wrong.

After a year and a half of training, Xia Nuo's vision and appearance are not yet as terrifying as Katakuri's in sensing the future, but they are enough to lock onto Taschi in the vast sea of ​​people as soon as she appears. to the other party's position.

Xia Nuo was actually a little surprised by the appearance of this "old friend".

He originally thought that in the battle at the foot of the East China Sea upside down mountain, this guy had already died under his own sword energy. Unexpectedly, the other party not only survived by chance, but also returned to the headquarters to practice and exercise. He seemed to have great strength. Make progress.

Of course, the so-called great progress is only based on the opponent's already weak and pitiful combat power. Even Tina's threshold fruit cannot be cracked. In Xia Nuo's view, this level is not as good as when he just left Bara. When I went to sea at the Ti Restaurant, I was just a pirate with a bounty of 40 to 50 million.

Having just practiced to this level, he wanted to avenge Smoker and assassinate him. Xia Nuo really doubted whether this confused woman's brain was filled with water. From beginning to end, he had no other idea except that he found it funny, and even He didn't even have the thought of taking action against the other party.

The level gap between the two sides is really too big, as if one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. Under such a gap, putting the idea of ​​revenge into action is not something that can be done with a rush of blood in the brain.

But.

In the end, the fact that the situation did not escalate is still related to the timely action of that "Black Throne" Tina to stop this stupid woman. If she really kills him, Xia Nuo doesn't mind doing it in front of these gang of marines. Take action and teach the other party an unforgettable lesson.

"Okay, it's getting late. We've almost finished what we should talk about, right?"

Xia Nuo glanced at Tina's leaving figure, stretched, yawned and said:

"I'm a little tired after playing all afternoon, so I won't go to the dinner party to join in the fun. I'm going back to my room to rest. Let your people prepare some snacks and send them over. See you at the meeting tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Taotu didn't say anything more, smiled and waved goodbye, watching Xia Nuo's back go away.

"That, that..."

Seeing the two separated, Tea Dolphin, who had been watching eagerly beside him, boldly stepped forward, looked at Peach Rabbit's arm wrapped in bandages, and asked cautiously:

"Gion, your wound hasn't healed yet. You must be careful these two days. Drink more hot water and rest more. Otherwise, I will help you attend the meeting tomorrow..."

"No need, stop pretending to me here!"

Peach Rabbit glared at him, sneered, flicked his cloak and left.

"Uh……"

The tea dolphin who was left on the spot was dumbfounded. He looked at Peach Rabbit's back in confusion. After a while, he scratched his head and muttered in confusion:

"I didn't hurt her, so why is she so angry..."

Recalling the painful experience of being rejected 78 times before, Cha Dou lit up a cigarette melancholy and let out a long sigh:

"I really don't understand these women..."

…………

Silent all night.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the second day. Xia Nuo got up early, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, meditated facing the magnificent crescent-shaped harbor below, and soon entered a state of emptiness and selflessness.

This state is conducive to tempering his state of mind, and sometimes he can gain a new understanding of the secrets of wind. It can be said to be an indispensable part of sword practice.

Time flies.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the Navy sent someone to knock on the door, brought breakfast and refreshments, and informed him that the Shichibukai Conference was about to be officially held, and asked him to arrive at the conference hall at half past nine.

"At half past nine...there was no delay and it was held on time."

Staring at the naval lieutenant colonel who was delivering the news, Xia Nuo frowned, "Hawkeye Mihawk hasn't arrived yet, right? Why, can't you wait for him?"

"Going... the higher-up means that we won't wait for him."

This naval lieutenant colonel is about in his early thirties and is already considered an old navy man.

But under Xia Nuo's gaze, he felt as if he was being stared at by some wild beast in the jungle. His nervous forehead was sweating all the time, and he even stuttered when he spoke:

"Your Excellency... don't worry, your Excellency. This kind of absence is normal. In the past few meetings of the Shichibukai, there were not even half as many people as this time. Also, they were held on time..."

"pity."

Although he had expected it, Xia Nuo still felt a little regretful when he heard this.

He has been waiting for the arrival of Hawkeye for the past two days. His whereabouts have always been mysterious. If he fails to spar this time, he doesn't know when he will have to wait until the next time he meets him.

"You go down first, I will rush over when the time comes."

After taking the meal from the naval lieutenant colonel, Xia Nuo waved his hand and returned to sit down at the coffee table next to the floor-to-ceiling window. "Remember to close the door when you go out."

"Yes, Sir Xiano."

After finally hearing these words, the Navy Lieutenant Colonel was visibly relieved. With an expression as if he had been granted amnesty, he bowed and saluted before carefully closing the door and exiting.

Even through the door, you can feel the sound of his retreating footsteps in the corridor, which is countless times easier than when he came in.

"These marines."

Xia Nuo was picking up the cheese bread on the plate, smearing it with butter sauce and stuffing it into his mouth. After sensing the difference in the footsteps, he shook his head speechlessly.

There is no shortage of weirdos in the Shichibukai. Compared with the taciturn Bartholomew Bear, and the cool-looking Sand Crocodile who has idol baggage all the time, he is obviously the most gentle and amiable among them, and he is also the most amiable in appearance. There are definitely bonus options.

Why did he become the most terrifying guy in the eyes of these naval captains?

Hey, it’s really puzzling...
