Pirate: The Wandering Swordsman

Chapter 248 Breakthrough
The new Marin Vanduo.

Akainu pondered for a long time in his marshal's office.

"Don't pay attention to Roy, let him go head-to-head with Kaido. If two tigers fight, one will be injured. This is not harmful to the navy."

As he spoke, he paused and asked, "How is the progress of the world's conscription? Are there any candidates worth noting?"

"The progress is very good. There are a lot of powerful people in the primary election. According to our investigation, they all have the idea of ​​joining the navy." The soldier said, "Among them, there is one named Yixiao who performed particularly well and is already our focus. object."

"A smile?"

Akainu nodded, and after understanding the situation, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Notify me until the final step of the conscription. Remember, we must investigate the identities and origins of these people clearly." He said, "It is related to the vacant position of general in the headquarters, and no omissions are allowed."

"Understood, Marshal, please rest assured!" The soldier responded solemnly.

……

Whoosh!

In the sea where the wind is howling, huge waves are churning.

A small sailboat undulates slowly on the boundless sea like the cosmic starry sky.

On the deck of the sailboat, a young man with flying eyebrows sat cross-legged.

He was staring at the sea in ecstasy, but actually he was staring at the screen in front of him, which only he could see.

Basic Swordsmanship Lv.6 (599/600)

This person is Roy.

What he is focusing on right now is nothing else, of course, his swordsmanship level that is just a little bit close to making a qualitative leap.

The excited heart calmed down as early as yesterday.

This gap, since the shocking battle on that unknown island, beheading the plague of fire and plague, began to gradually arise.

After that, Roy's experience value for more than half a year skyrocketed, all the way up to a bizarre 599, as if he had encountered a bottleneck again, and he stopped moving at all.

No matter what Roy tried, it seemed that something was missing.

"How could this be?"

After Roy calmed down, he sat cross-legged on the deck, facing the wind and waves at sea, racking his brains and thinking for a whole day and night.

He had a hunch that as long as he could figure out why, he would be able to cross this boundary and raise the level of basic swordsmanship to an unprecedented Lv.7 for him.

At that time, his combat power level will show explosive growth again.

And according to his estimation, if he can upgrade from level 7 to level 8, defeating Hawkeye is no longer a dream.

……

Speaking of Hawkeye.

At this time, Kraigana Island is the site of the Kingdom of Sizkear.

In the only town here, those who met Roy all sighed amazingly.

"Master Roy actually met Kaido, the Four Emperors, and the fire and plague died just like that! It's incredible! It's incredible!"

"I just said, the first time I met Mr. Roy, I knew he was extraordinary!"

"It's certainly not ordinary to get advice from Mr. Hawkeye!"

People talk about it.

But at this moment, in the only castle on the island, Hawkeye was drinking coffee leisurely, and outside the window beside him, Sauron was sweating profusely.

"Wow, it's amazing that Roy actually killed the plague and plague."

Beside Sauron, Perona was floating in the air, swimming around like a fish, quite at ease, her face full of surprise and excitement.

Although Roy didn't stay in Kraigana Island for a long time, he and she were considered friends.

Today, friends have made such a huge name, of course they deserve to be happy.

"Humph!"

Sauron couldn't hold back anymore, and snorted coldly.

"Oh, are you envious?"

Perona circled around Sauron, happily, and said with a smile: "Sauron, you debuted at the same time as Roy, but now you are thrown far away by him, can't you control the envy and hatred in your heart? "

"I will definitely catch up with him!"

Sauron gritted his teeth.

The firm voice seemed to pass through the walls of the castle and reached Hawkeye's ears.

"call!"

While drinking coffee, he spread out the newspaper in his hand, and he let out a long breath when he saw the huge headline that revealed Roy's feat.

"Horrifying progress, amazing talent."

A thought emerged in Hawkeye's mind. At this moment, the blood in his body began to heat up and boil, which was rare.

He has lost opponents, and has been for many years.

But now,
He seemed to have seen a swordsman who was qualified to be his opponent, rising like a newborn sun.

"At this speed, it's fast!"

The corner of Hawkeye's lips twitched.

"...Come and defeat me!"

……

Boom! !
On the sea, the turbulent waves came, setting off waves about tens of meters high, and a hole was pierced by a terrifying knife aura.

Swish!

The sailboat calmly sailed away from the stormy sea.

on the deck.

The young swordsman's expression remained unchanged.

On the swordsman's face, the eyes were a little dazed, as if he was unaware of all changes in the external environment.

But if someone is here, they can detect the terrifying aura emanating from the young swordsman.

This aura is like a peerless sword, so sharp that it goes straight into the sky, stirring up the vicissitudes of this world.

"almost!"

The swordsman is Roy.

Suddenly, his complexion changed, he restrained the indifference and calmness on his face, and was slightly moved.

It seems to be amazed by the changes in the world.

Whizzing!

The two knives in his hand began to exude a power not inferior to his own.

The meaning of cold air and dry heat.

Both condensed.

Indescribably astonishing power gathered in mid-air.

boom!
A terrifying knife aura suddenly turned into lightning, fell from the sky, and flew into the sea in front of Roy's sailboat.

Whoa!
The bloody water instantly gushed out like a spring, spreading across the sea area.

Taking a closer look, a huge Neptune corpse floated to the surface, and countless ferocious fish suddenly sprang out from all around. They swarmed after smelling the smell of blood.

However, unexpectedly, no fish dared to get close to the sailboat where Roy was.

The indescribable sense of danger pervading the sea made these fishes hide far away, afraid of getting close to this ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated sailboat.

As animals in the sea, their intuition is much more accurate than that of humans, and the fear from the heart is definitely not what you will feel when facing ordinary creatures.

The same is true.

"call!"

Roy looked at the virtual screen that only he could see.

Basic Swordsmanship Lv.7 (1/700)

He has broken through the shackles, and his swordsmanship level has been substantially improved, reaching level 7, which is unprecedented for him.

"Next, after a period of precipitation, you can officially challenge Hawkeye and take over the title of world's number one swordsman!"

Roy thought to himself.

His eyes were firm.

At this moment, the goal that was once out of reach is now only half a step away, as if it is within reach.
