Pirate's Swordsman

Just as the bald major was muttering to himself in confusion, Aoki Pheasant rode his bicycle to the shore.

He took a step with his long legs, stepped out of the car, put his car on his shoulders with his backhand, and jumped from the frozen sea to the shore with a slight jump.

"General Kuzan!"

The bald major reacted now. He rushed forward and greeted him enthusiastically: "Welcome back, how about I help you push the car?"

"unnecessary."

Aoki shook his head. He glanced at Xia Nuo in the distance and asked curiously: "Isn't the Shichibukai Conference over yet?"

"Not long after it ended, the rest of the Shichibukai left, and only this one remained."

The bald major glanced secretly at Xia Nuo, lowered his voice and said, "He said he wanted to see General Sakaski for something, and he asked me how I got into the family area. General, this is a bit weird."

"……I see."

Aoki's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything. Then he continued to carry the bicycle with one hand and put the coat he had taken off on his elbow with the other, walking towards Xia Nuo.

"Long time no see, Swift Wind Swordsman Xia Nuo."

He lazily raised an arm, slightly blocking the sunlight, and said hello, "The last time I met you was at the G-5 branch in the New World. Three years have passed in a flash, and time has passed by. It’s so fast.”

"It's been a long time indeed, General Kuzan."

Xia Nuo smiled politely. He had a good impression of Aokiji. At least among the three current generals of the navy, he was the easiest to deal with.

"Chirp..."

During the conversation between the two parties, a faint bird call with a hint of grievance suddenly came from the backpack behind Qing Pheasant.

"This is..." Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows and focused his eyes on it.

"Ah, I almost forgot, it's time to let it out for some air."

Qingzhi patted his head and took off his backpack from behind. After opening it, a furry little head eagerly came out of it, looking around with curious little eyes.

"penguin?"

Looking at the little guy who looked like a Galapagos penguin in front of him, Xiano was slightly startled. He vaguely remembered that in the original timeline, after Aoki resigned and left the navy, he traveled everywhere with a penguin. Could it be that Is this the one in front of you?

"It's called Camel. I accidentally rescued it yesterday. It's a bit of a fate, so I might as well keep it by my side as a pet."

Aoki pheasant smiled, took out a few pieces of dried fish and fed them to them. The little penguin immediately raised his neck in excitement, swallowed all the dried fish in one gulp, and burped with satisfaction.

"It's quite cute." Xia Nuo was amused and praised with a smile.

Tweet!

Unexpectedly, these words attracted an angry glare from the little penguin. It flapped its ungrown wings and stretched its neck, trying to come over and peck the back of Xia Nuo's hand.

"The camel is a cold-blooded penguin. If you want to praise it, you should praise it for being handsome and cold. It doesn't like to hear the word cute."

Aoki pheasant laughed, stopped the angry little penguin, put it back into the open backpack, looked at Xia Nuo, and got back to the topic.

"I heard that you have something to do with Sakaski?" Qingzhi asked, "Can you reveal the specific situation? If time permits, maybe I can help a little bit."

"Eh, yes."

The second half of this sentence was meant to be a casual polite comment, but it just reminded Xia Nuo.

His eyes brightened slightly, he snapped his fingers and laughed:

"That's just right. Since you, General Kuzan, are willing to help, I don't have to go to Akainu. It's almost the same anyway."

"..."

Qing Zhi frowned, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "What... do you mean?"

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter."

Xia Nuo took a step back with a smile, and then, under Qing Zhi's stunned gaze, he suddenly... pulled out Arashiri.

…………

After a few minutes.

"Hey, hey, hey, when you said I could do you a little favor, is this what you meant?"

On the large crescent-shaped harbor, glaciers spread wantonly. Qing Pheasant asked angrily while evading the violent air currents with ease.

In the blink of an eye, he had dodged dozens or hundreds of sword attacks. Xia Nuo on the opposite side was not surprised when he saw that these ordinary attacks had no effect. He just smiled:

"Of course. Otherwise, do you think that I can do anything else if I look for that Akainu guy everywhere?"

"Then you should continue to look for him."

With a casual move, Qingzhi formed a thick ice wall in front of him, blocking Xia Nuo's sword strikes again. However, he was also shaken by the aftermath of the sword energy and took several steps back, "I didn't do that." I agreed to this kind of thing, but now it’s me who blocks the knife for him out of nowhere. Isn’t this not good?”

"Besides, even if we really have to fight, can't we change the place and start the fight here in the Fortress Square? If I lose to you, I will lose all my face..."

"Hahaha, then you can't blame me. Who told you to have more leisure time?"

Xia Nuo grinned and laughed. He clutched the hilt of Lanqi's sword tightly, and the fighting spirit in his body gradually burned, as hot as the scorching sun in the dog days of summer:

"Okay, there is no need for this level of testing between the two of us. Don't waste time, General Kuzan, it's time to get serious!"

hum!

The moment the words fell, the energy in his body suddenly condensed into one, and he drew his sword with his right hand. A magnificent sword energy that was as bright as a white horse suddenly slashed out and swept towards Qing Pheasant in a mighty manner.

"Ah la la, as expected, those who practice swordsmanship are probably crazy."

Seeing the terrifying sword energy coming towards him, Qingzhi sighed as if he was resigned to his fate, and pushed the green eye mask to the top of his forehead helplessly, "I have been so aggressive since I first came here, I really didn't think about the consequences of destruction at all... …”

Complaints were complaints, but he still activated his abilities immediately.

Click!Click!

Dozens of thick and sharp ice spears took shape in front of him almost instantly, and immediately circled in mid-air, carrying a thick aura of extreme cold, and headed towards the sword energy.

boom!

The next moment, a fierce collision resounded throughout the harbor, and the seawater surged and rolled wantonly. Even the ground in the nearby square began to vibrate slightly.

By this time.

Not only the soldiers patrolling outside, but also the senior naval officers in the fortress noticed the movement outside. They came to the railings on their floors and stuck their heads out to look towards the harbor.

As soon as I saw it, the small half of the harbor near the square had turned into a sheet of ice, and the white mist was steaming and spreading, causing the senior officials of the headquarters to suddenly show their eyes full of astonishment.
