Pirate's Swordsman

"Haha, I did learn some sword moves."

Bi Qi grinned, then stretched out her hand unceremoniously, grabbed the cigarette case from Kailar's hand, and lit one herself, "To be honest, I didn't feel much at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized , Brother Xia Nuo’s swordsmanship is indeed quite incredible.”

Slowly blowing out a smoke ring, Bi Qi stared at Kailar and said cheerfully, "In fact, I think if it weren't for Xia Nuo who is still young, and with his swordsmanship, even you would be no match for him."

Kailar smiled noncommittally and said nothing in reply.

After finishing a cigarette, Bi Qi put out the cigarette butt, glanced at Xia Nuo not far away, and suddenly said with some confusion: "By the way, speaking of which, Brother Xia Nuo just jumped from the second floor, right? Isn’t it just to practice swordsmanship, why is it so urgent?”

"Who knows."

Kailar glanced meaningfully at the second floor of the cabin, where the commotion from the storage room could still be faintly heard. He chuckled and shook his head indifferently, "Let's go, it's getting late. Let’s catch up on some sleep first, we’ll be on duty at night, so refresh yourself early.”

"Oh."

Bi Qi nodded subconsciously at first, but as soon as she raised her feet, she realized: "Hey, that's not right, we haven't had dinner yet, why don't we wait first?"

"Dinner? Take it down."

Kailar sighed softly and said, "Have you forgotten what we had for lunch?"

"noon?"

Bi Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a look of pain in her balls, "You mean, Captain Tado will cook in person at night?"

Kailar twitched his eyes with a melancholy look on his face, "What do you think?"

Just in the morning, because of Xiano's praise, Tado's self-confidence greatly increased, and he cooked a large table full of dishes at noon, preparing to surprise his crew members. As a result, in the afternoon, all the toilets on the ship were full of people. Except for Xia Nuo, who escaped from exhaustion and fell asleep, the others experienced what it means to be truly dark and desperate.

On the other side, when he saw Kailar and Bi Qi leaving the deck with constipated expressions on their faces and entering the cabin, Xia Nuo also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the virtual chopping action in his hand did not stop, the corner of his eye was He glanced upstairs unconsciously.

"I'm sorry, little Sanji..."

Thinking of Zhepu's roar just now, Xia Nuo couldn't help but blush, and silently mourned for Sanji in his heart.

After all, although this kid did eat secretly, to a greater extent, he also took the blame for himself...

"Well, anyway, Uncle Tado has already gone up, so this kid shouldn't be scolded anymore. It's better to practice some more swordsmanship before dinner, and then go to bed and rest."

Silently looking away, Xia Nuo took a deep breath and focused his attention on the wooden sword in front of him.

The continuous virtual chops were accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, and the breeze on his face could be heard. As time passed, the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated, and his whole body and mind began to be immersed in the changes of the sword in his hand. among.

………………

Before I knew it, five days had passed.

Morning light and dusk, dim light changes, everything passes quietly in peace. During this period of time, the pirate ship moved farther and farther away from Andric Island, riding the wind and waves all the way to the northeast.

In the past few days, Xia Nuo devoted almost all his time to the practice of wind control swordsmanship, except for sleeping and resting and eating three meals a day.

Often when the morning light rises, his figure has already appeared on the deck, and when dusk falls, the distant figure

The small island is faintly visible. When the fishing fires are extinguishing, you can still see the path of Lake Toya waving in the sea breeze from the blurry scene.

From watching with interest at the beginning, to gradually getting used to it, within a few days, even the busy crew members all knew that the black-haired boy who was brought aboard by Red-footed Zhepu was basically the same person. A sword fanatic spends his time with wooden swords and doesn't care about others.

Many people express their sincere admiration for Xia Nuo's perseverance, but there is nothing else. After all, Xia Nuo's age is there. Except for Kai Laer and Bi Qi, these people have not seriously observed Xia Nuo. Sword fighting among pirates is basically just a game played by children on a whim.

At most, during daily chats, he would compliment Xia Nuo by the way and say something like "This kid will definitely be promising in the future, maybe he will be a swordsman" to liven up the atmosphere.

That's it.

Compared with this, what everyone pays more attention to and cares about is the food issue on the ship.

After their captain Tado was in charge for two full days, Redfoot, who was famous for his cooking skills, finally couldn't hold himself back. In the name of not being able to accept the waste of food, after Fatty beat Tado, he forced himself to have sex with the cook Lika. Taken over the kitchen together.

As a result, the days when the pirates could eat until they burst into tears were finally over. In order to show their excitement and joy, they even held a grand bonfire dinner that night and celebrated with joy.

During the days spent with the sea, except that Tado began to become melancholy and often squatted on the deck during meals without saying a word, everything was so ordinary and uneventful.

However, starting from the fifth day, things seemed to start to undergo some interesting changes.

………………

pat!

A crisp sound of wood breaking suddenly sounded at the remote stern of the ship, and as half of the wooden sword fell to the ground, the shadow of the sword flashed past. The man holding the hilt of the sword in his hand felt that his chest was firmly pressed by the tip of the sword. Standing still, unable to move at all, he was suddenly stunned.

"How... how is it possible..."

In front of him was a black-haired boy wearing blue short-sleeves. The wooden sword against his chest was tightly held in his hand. Due to the height difference, the boy's right arm was always high. Lifting and leaning forward may seem a bit difficult.

But even the seemingly huge height difference did not give him any advantage. In fact, as a pirate who had been rewarded more than ten years ago, Ludd felt that the most ridiculous thing he had ever encountered in his life was It was during the sparring just now that he was defeated by the young man in front of him with a sword.

Yes, a sword.

Just at the moment when the sparring officially started, the boy opposite made a gesture of drawing out a sword. Before he could react, he was horrified to realize that the wooden sword in his hand had been cut into two pieces at an incredibly fast speed. In an instant, he was already defeated.

If it were a life and death fight, I'm afraid he would have become a corpse without knowing it.

"I lost."

After being silent for a while, he slowly raised his head, showing a helpless look towards the black-haired boy in front of him, and then dropped the broken sword in his hand to the ground.

"Well, Uncle Raku, you lose."

Xia Nuo chuckled, flicked his wrist, and the wooden sword was retracted, and he inserted it accurately into the side of his waist, "Well, after all, it's the sixteenth place."

"Sixteen? So, the rumor on the ship is indeed true..."

The tall man known as Raku seemed to have understood something. He smiled bitterly and sighed, and said something that surprised Xia Nuo: "You little guy, it turns out that you really have grown up in this week." , defeated all the combat members on the ship."
