Pirate's Swordsman

"It's nothing. Tadoko told me everything about the fight between you and Crowe and the others at the banquet just now."

Zhepu obviously hesitated for a while, then he stroked his beard and grinned: "It's amazing, you brat, you can actually defeat a million-level pirate. That's something that even your father, Coster, can't do!"

"I thought what was I going to ask? Well, it was just a fluke that Uncle Tado was helping me. If it had been me alone, it might have been a different outcome." Xia Nuo scratched his head.

"No matter what, you little guy really exceeded my expectations."

After pondering for a while, Zhepu still stared into Xia Nuo's eyes and said with a serious face: "So, little guy, tell me what kind of wishes you have in the future. Is it possible that you are not like Tado and the others?" Same thing, do you want to become a pirate?"

"Pirates?"

Xia Nuo was stunned and looked at Zhepu's serious expression. After hesitating for a while, he still chose to shake his head: "As for this... I don't know either."

"Oh? Why, do you, little guy, plan to stay with me and not go to sea, but to be a chef for the rest of your life?" Zhepu smiled, turned his head and looked at Sanji, and said, "Speaking of which, you and I Sanji, the little brat, is really very different in comparison. One obviously knows nothing but wants to secretly learn cooking skills every day, while the other one obviously has pretty good cooking skills, but has no intention of focusing on this at all. It’s really a bit of a mockery above.”

"Hey, hey, stinky old man, what are you talking about? Why can't I know anything?"

Before Xia Nuo could react, Xiao Sanji next to him suddenly became furious. He threw the wooden oar into the boat with a "pop" sound and glared at Zhepu angrily: "Don't forget, I am a member of the aristocracy. I have been a trainee chef on a passenger ship, so ordinary dishes and so on are not difficult for me at all!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhepu glared at him angrily, "In that case, don't expect me to teach you how to cook in the future. I want to see if any guests will be willing to eat what you make by yourself!"

"Who are you looking down on, stinky old man!" Sanji yelled again, but Zhepu had already turned his eyes back to Xia Nuo, couldn't help but puffed up his mouth, and muttered: "What's the big deal? Yeah, we'll see when the time comes, bastard..."

"I will definitely go to sea, but I haven't made any plans about my identity yet." Xia Nuo thought for a while, and his expression gradually became serious, "Whether it's a navy, a pirate, or a bounty hunter. No matter what, these identities of wandering in the sea are not that important to me. If I really have to make a choice in the future, then maybe I will choose the freest one among them."

"The freest one..." Zhepu narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when he saw Xia Nuo in front of him gently put his free right hand on the ridiculous-looking wooden sword, and then She raised her face slightly, smiled at him and said:

"But no matter which path I choose, uncle, my goal will not change..."

Then, under the setting sun, the young man with black hair and black eyes held the wooden sword tightly in his hand and said almost word by word: "That is, to become the world's number one - big! sword! powerful!! !”

Great swordsman! !

Swordsman!

How! !

.........

The sound of the oath resounded across the vast sea, startling the nearby seagulls. They flew away with fluttering wings. Zhepu looked at the seascape in the twilight and was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand. He patted Xia Nuo on the head hard and rubbed his black hair: "You are really arrogant, you brat. However, I just like this kind of words that don't know the heights of the world. Young people should have some dreams. Fight hard!”

"Hey, hey, you bastard old man, please stop rubbing me!"

Xia Nuo was feeling ashamed in his heart for the declaration of being a middle school student that he had just shouted out. After being rubbed like this, his hair instantly exploded. After giving him a fierce look, he pushed him away.

The big hand covered with calluses.

What a shame. If you are so shameful, it seems that only Luffy's bold words can shout it out. What the hell did you do just now? You accidentally exposed your ambition, damn it!

Just when he was thinking this, Sanji who was next to him suddenly cheered and shouted: "In that case, then I am the man who wants to become the best chef in the world. Sooner or later, I will make the smelly old man Zhepu kneel down." , beg me to teach him how to cook!”

What a terrible line. Sure enough, the world of pirates is a strange place that automatically makes people become passionate...

Xia Nuo looked away unbearably, and sure enough, the next moment, Sanji was rewarded with a stir-fried chestnut by Zhepu, and he screamed in pain.

"Ahem, both brats have such bad tempers..."

Zhepu looked at Xia Nuo with some embarrassment. After coughing slightly, he smiled and said, "No matter what, since I have stated my ambition, I can feel relieved."

At this point, his eyes fell leisurely on the sea restaurant in the distance, and he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "At least, I won't feel lonely anymore until you become adults... "

........................

The twilight became darker and darker, and when the sun was about to set in front of the sea, the three-person boat finally stopped in front of the Barati restaurant.

The entire restaurant is based on a huge, wide ship, with cyan as the main tone, and fish-shaped bows on both ends. The location where Xiano and the others landed is a large circular wooden board that spreads out, which looks like a movable Floating platform.

"Is this the 'fin' mentioned in the original book?"

After carefully stepping on the wooden board and seeing no signs of shaking, Xia Nuo got off the boat with confidence, and followed Zhepu with Sanji to the center of the movable floating platform.

A close-up view of the restaurant with a three-story cabin and gorgeous decoration appeared in front of them.

"Wow, it's so big!"

Luckily for Xia Nuo, he had read the original work and was no stranger to the exterior scene in front of him. However, Xiao Sanji was different. As soon as he stepped onto the floating platform, he excitedly looked around the outer wall. If he saw anything special, he would Hui cheered, and finally ran back to the place excitedly, shouting to Zhepu:

"Smelly old man, is this a restaurant on the sea?"

"Hmph, of course."

Zhepu looked at the huge sail at the top of the Barati restaurant from a distance, with a proud smile in his eyes. He felt like a child who got a new important toy and was happily showing it to his companions: "For example, Sanji."

"What?" Sanji looked back at him suspiciously.

Zhepu's eyes were deep and distant, as if he was remembering something, "No matter what kind of villain he is or a prison escapee, as long as someone comes to this store hungry, we will be able to fight in this store." Does it make sense?"

Kosanji was startled at first, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth. Finally, he nodded heavily, with a bright smile on his whole face:

"Ok!"

"It will be very busy from now on."

"No problem, I'm here."

Sanji chuckled, then rolled his eyes, as if he suddenly remembered something, looked at Xia Nuo, raised his little fist excitedly and said: "Besides, our restaurant also has brother Xia Nuo. here I am!"

"I finally changed my name, kid..."

Xia Nuo was watching this familiar scene quietly, but Sanji's words were like a sharp blade tearing through the softness, suddenly piercing the warmth in his heart. He reached out and squeezed Sanji's slightly... With a baby-fat face, he withdrew his hand amidst the disgusted expression on the other person's face, raised his head and looked at Zhepu, and said with a brilliant smile:

"I heard I'm not a bad old man, and I'm still here. You don't have to worry about trivial matters like whether you're busy or not, right?"
