Pirate's Swordsman

"To be precise, it should be seventeen."

b5 thought for a moment and corrected, "But most of you rejected them without any interest at all. Only three of them are still in the investigation period and have not officially joined yet."

"That's natural."

Xia Nuo chuckled, "Basically, ninety percent of those guys are just speculators who follow the trend. They have impure thoughts. Even if they are quite strong, recruiting them is just a burden."

As for the three pirate groups who are still in the inspection period, he has a pretty good impression on him. Several captains have also initially passed his test. After all, with his knowledge and perception, it is difficult for anyone to be able to do so without blushing. Lie successfully.

Whether the person coming is a speculator with crooked ideas or a fan who sincerely respects him, he can easily tell it with a little bit of tricks.

And these three pirate groups have their own characteristics.

Among them, the largest one is the "Bird of Prey Pirates", which has a huge scale of three thousand people.

Most of them come from a destroyed country in the New World, and the elite members are basically the guards of this country. Captain "Raptor" Sachs is the leader of this guard.

After the country perished due to force majeure, Sachs led this pirate group composed of guardsmen to sea in order to feed the surviving people. They have been wandering in the new world for a year and a half, and the bounty has slowly accumulated to 400 million. Bailey.

Xia Nuo has a good impression of this pirate group. The crew members are usually more disciplined and not as casual as ordinary pirates. Instead, they retain a bit of the iron-blooded temperament of the army. If they can be cultivated in the future and get along for a long time, they will undoubtedly Will become the mainstay of his combat force.

The other two pirate groups are all following the elite route. Although their numbers are far smaller than that of the Birds of Prey Pirates, their overall strength is not weak enough to fill the weaknesses of the middle-level cadres of the Gale Fleet.

The group with the smallest number of people is called the "Explosion Pirates". As the name suggests, Captain Bess is a user with explosive fruit abilities and has a bounty of 270 million beli. He is a supernova who has traveled all the way from the North Sea to the New World. There are only ten people on board. Several people, more than half of them have a bounty of more than 50 million.

Speaking of which, this is also an interesting thing. Xia Nuo remembered that the previous explosive fruit user was the one he killed with his own hands at Whiskey Mountain more than four years ago.

He originally thought that according to historical inertia, the next owner of the fruit would be the good-for-nothing booger man No. 5. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of another person, and in the end he became his alternate subordinate.

As for the last pirate group under observation, it is called the "Flute Pirates". There are about a hundred people on the ship, all of whom are from the Flower Country in the New World.

The captain's name was also quite strange. It was exactly the opposite of the name of the pirate group, called Piccolo Asso. Xiano's first reaction when he saw him was to see if this guy's skin was green and if he had any hair on his head. with two tentacles

However, although the name is a bit weird, Piccolo Asso's strength is still good. At the age of ten, he once defeated the Navy's Vice Admiral, with a bounty of up to 300 million beli.

What's even more valuable is that this piccolo Asso is also a natural musical genius, proficient in various wind instruments, which immediately made Xia Nuo think about it.

Well, I’ve been practicing shakuhachi for several years and still can’t make sense of it. If I want to continue studying in the future, I finally have the answer.

"What do you mean about this Bartow club?"

At this time, b5 asked tentatively, "If these guys are not needed, how about I contact Sister Monet now so that she doesn't have to arrange for someone to send them here."

"No, just let them come over and try."

Xia Nuo had finished wiping his sweat. As soon as he took off the towel, b5, who was wearing a black maid outfit, immediately took it over and helped Xia Nuo all the way to the wicker chair on the second floor balcony to sit down.

At this time, eight days have passed since the end of the Tundra War. Xia Nuo's physical recovery has progressed faster than expected. He has been able to do some basic rehabilitation training in the training room. However, the injury has not fully healed after all, and his body is weak. , still needs recuperation and care.

Therefore, Xia Nuo did not specifically refuse b5's service. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be happy to be taken care of like this.

"Bartolomeo"

Half lying on the wicker chair, Xia Nuo's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the memories related to this name in his mind.

In the impression, in the original timeline, this guy admired Luffy because he witnessed Luffy's courage to face death calmly on the execution platform, and the scene where lightning struck the execution platform where Luffy was and escaped death. Since then, he has become Luffy's number one fan.

But now, the situation is obviously different.

I don't know if he was affected by the butterfly storm he set off, but this guy actually went to sea four full years earlier, traveled all the way to the new world, and inexplicably became his fanatical admirer.

"Shouldn't"

Xia Nuo touched the stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought. He couldn't remember where he had seen him. After all, he left Donghai more than four years ago, and he had never been to this guy's hometown of Luo. Ge town.

Without meeting each other, it stands to reason that you shouldn't have such a fanatical admiration for yourself like you do for Luffy.

Even Cavendish and Luo, who have joined the Gale Fleet, respect him extremely, but in real terms, they all have their own reasons.

The former had met him in the Chambord Islands three years ago and had received swordsmanship instruction from him, while the latter had simply killed Doflamingo with him and repaid Ke in disguise for Luo. It is related to Lasson's hatred.

At this moment, he has naturally forgotten unconsciously how his three years of experience as a pirate hunter at the Barati Restaurant left an indelible impression on the people of the East China Sea.

Not to mention that when he beheaded Colonel Mouse in front of everyone, there was a young man with a grass-green comb hair who was still a gangster, looking at him from a distance with a look of reverence and admiration the whole time.

"captain."

Just as Schiano was meditating, Delumpe's voice suddenly came from the watchtower. He looked up and saw the latter holding a monocular, frowning and looking into the distance, and reported:

"Look at the seven o'clock direction. There are some strange ships about fifty nautical miles away, and they seem to be approaching us."
