Pirate's Swordsman

"Hey, uncle, are you back?"

In the kitchen, Xia Nuo also noticed the movement at the door. Seeing that breakfast was set, he took off his apron and walked over. "You got up early enough, uncle. Did you go to the newspaper to publish the recruitment notice?"

"Well, the notice has indeed been published, and there was a little twist when I went to the newspaper office."

Zhepu closed the door, his face still a little gloomy. After glancing at Xia Nuo, he threw away the roll of newspapers in his arms and snorted, "But compared with a certain trouble, this little thing is nothing. what."

"trouble?"

Xia Nuo took the newspaper and looked at Zhepu strangely.

"You can open it and see for yourself." Zhepu sighed, found a dining table closest to the door, pulled out a chair and sat down. After Xia Nuo scratched his head, he simply sat down opposite him and put his hands The newspaper inside was placed on the table, spread out flat.

As a result, as soon as it was unfolded, a thick pile of dark yellow cardboard leaked out from inside and fell to the floor. Xia Nuo hurriedly bent down and was about to pick it up, but his eyes were suddenly caught directly below. I was attracted by the photos on the paper and couldn't help but be stunned.

Under the dark yellow background, a short and fat old man was crossing his arms and looking into the distance with an indifferent expression. Although it was taken from a profile angle, Xia Nuo still recognized it at a glance. This was the man who had just parted with him. It didn’t take long for Tado to arrive.

In addition, there is a series of numbers at the bottom of the photo, but the front is blocked and the specific amount cannot be seen clearly.

"Wanted order?"

Xia Nuo frowned, picked up all the wanted posters scattered on the ground and put them on the table. He took out the Tado one first, and then he saw the numbers at the bottom clearly, and couldn't help but mutter, "Not bad." , Uncle Tado’s reward has changed from 10 million to 13 million..."

"Thirteen million? Kid, please see clearly before you speak." Zhepu said with a sneer.

"Isn't there just that much..."

He heard this sentence just as he looked away. Xia Nuo curled his lips and glanced again. After counting the digits of the long series of numbers, his eyes almost popped out and his mouth opened wide. : "Eight...eight zeros?! One hundred and thirty million Baileys?"

"Hmph, what do you think?"

Zhepu took the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He snorted and said, "After all, that guy ate a natural devil fruit and went to the Grand Line. The navy doesn't care whether he takes it seriously or not." It's possible, but this number is indeed a bit exaggerated. Hey, he's already a lot older, but he didn't expect this old guy to enjoy the treatment of a supernova, which is really unpleasant."

The corner of Xia Nuo's mouth twitched, ignoring the old man's obviously jealous complaint. After looking at Tado's wanted poster for a while, he put it aside, took the rest of the wanted posters, and began to look at them one by one. .

At this moment, the shock in his heart has gradually subsided. After all, as Zhepu mentioned, due to the rarity of natural devil fruits, the Navy has always paid more attention to people with this type of ability when announcing bounty amounts, so Tado's bounty Such a terrifying increase is normal, and there is nothing unacceptable.

His eyes scanned the next dozens of wanted posters one by one. Xia Nuo followed the text introduction and low-end bounty amount on them and subconsciously read them in a low voice:

"The captain of the first team, the ghost sword 'Kailal', has a bounty of 15 million beli."

"The captain of the second division, the fierce man 'Biqi', has a bounty of 12 million Baileys."

"Bossun Raku, the bounty is nine million beli."

…………

"what?"

In the blink of an eye, he quickly read all the wanted posters. Xia Nuo was shocked to find that most of them were crew members of the Tado Pirates, and the reward amounts had also been increased to varying degrees. Among them, Kailar and Bi Strangely, he has directly entered the ranks of the tens of millions of great pirates.

"A rising tide really lifts all boats..."

& nb

sp;After muttering with some emotion, Xia Nuo's fingers on the edge of the wanted poster habitually turned to the next one, and then...

Boom!

With the sound of the chair falling to the ground, Xia Nuo suddenly stood up, holding the wanted poster tightly in his hands, staring at the photo in the middle, his eyes full of disbelief:

"How...how could..."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Xia Nuo stayed there for a long time before slowly letting go of his hand and letting the wanted notice fall on the table. He swallowed, looked at Zhepu, and said with a confused look on his face: "This... …what is happening?"

"How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Zhepu glared at him angrily: "Now you understand what the big trouble I'm talking about is. You said you kid, you didn't know how to hold back the limelight on the boat before. Now, okay? You're being beaten by reporters and Not only did the navy misunderstand you as a pirate, but they actually regarded you as Tado's valued subordinate. If you stay in the restaurant, it's okay. If you go to sea or land in the future, there will inevitably be bounty hunters looking for you."

"...How did I know that there are reporters stationed next to the port? And even if I don't have a good brain, I can run as fast as the Hong Kong reporters when I want to inquire about the news..." Xia Nuo rubbed his forehead with a headache on his face and said After saying something that made Zhepu a little confused, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said with some dissatisfaction:

"That's not right, old man. You were praising me last night, so why are you lecturing me now? Your tone has changed like this, right?"

"Huh, that's because I didn't expect such a thing. Otherwise, would I be willing to let you take this risk?" Zhepu snorted coldly, picked up the newspaper on the table, and said, "Speaking of which, this The efficiency of a newspaper office has never been higher. Come on, listen up, I will read to you how the newspaper describes you."

"Well, I can probably guess it." Xia Nuo said, holding his forehead speechlessly.

"...According to what this newspaper learned, in addition to captain Bi Qi and others who have already been rewarded, an extremely powerful newcomer has emerged in the Tado Pirates this time. This young pirate named Shano, He is extremely skilled in swordsmanship, and with the assistance of Captain Tado, he defeated the great pirate 'Hundred Strategies' Crow, who had a bounty of 16 million, thus attracting the attention of the navy and being rewarded. It is worth mentioning that these The photos were all taken independently by our newspaper's ace reporter Sika under great risks, which can be said to be a model for this newspaper..."

After reading this, Tado frowned and said, "Well, why are all the reporters praising this reporter later?"

Then he lowered his gaze and glanced directly at the end of the article. He instantly understood, "Oh, signed editor Sika, who dares to do this with editors and reporters..."

"Prosper Northwest News? It's a local small newspaper in Donghai, that's normal." Xia Nuo glanced at the name on the front page of the newspaper, shook his head speechlessly, and said with some displeasure, "Although I know that the reporter named Sika is not wrong, But now, I still want to chop him to death..."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, please tell me more clearly. What's going on?"

Sanji was listening with confusion on his face, but now he finally felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Brother Xia Nuo was regarded as a pirate and put on a wanted order?"

"Ah, congratulations, you got the answer right, but there's no prize."

Xia Nuo responded feebly and tossed the wanted notice to Sanji, "See for yourself and you'll know."

Sanji immediately became energetic, stood on tiptoes, took the wanted notice, and looked at it intently.

In the photo, it is a side photo taken from a distance. On the deck, a handsome black-haired boy is staring at the sea ahead. There, you can vaguely see a tornado roaring up, making the entire photo It seemed to add a bit of shock.

After moving his eyes downward and seeing clearly the words at the bottom of the wanted order, Sanji was stunned. He looked at Xia Nuo who had an unhappy look on his face, couldn't help but swallowed, and murmured:

"Hay...Hayate, Shano, combat crew member of the Tado Pirates. Bounty..."

"Ten... ten million Baileys!"
