Pirate's Swordsman

"Hey, uncle, don't be so excited..."

Dodging the spittle flying towards him, Xia Nuoxu looked at Wu Cun for a long time, then spread his hands as if admitting defeat, and said helplessly, "Even if you say that, I can't help it, I don't have a general in the navy." Grandpa or something..."

"Besides..." Xia Nuo lazily raised his head and looked into the depths of the sky, where a black eagle with a can of salted fish in its mouth had just taken off, "In this sea, it doesn't matter what your identity is. It’s not important, what’s important is to stick to your position. For example, will Uncle Takemura be afraid of me robbing and massacring me because I have become a pirate with a bounty on my head?”

"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't let you get on the boat." Takemura shook his head subconsciously at first, but then frowned and said, "But..."

"It's nothing, Uncle Wucun. There is no regret in taking medicine, not to mention that I don't regret it either." Xia Nuo interrupted him, then looked back from the sky, looked at him and smiled slightly: "Besides, I don't regret it either. This is the first time I’ve been put on a bounty, I’ve long been used to it…”

"Eh?"

Wu Cun was a little confused, and seemed to want to ask clearly, but after seeing that Xia Nuo didn't really want to answer such a question, he hesitated for a while and had to change the topic, "Then what are you going to do in the future? If you continue to be here If you are floating on the sea, I can guarantee that a stronger navy will come here specifically to capture you."

"In the future...of course I won't stay in the East China Sea anymore." Xia Nuo looked toward the northeast in the distance and said with a smile, "Now that I'm going to sea, I will definitely go to the Grand Line to try it out, even though it's more dangerous there. It’s much higher than the East China Sea, but it’s better than staying here and letting people catch turtles in a jar, right?”

"The Great Route?"

The moment he heard these four words, Wu Cun was stunned for a moment, and immediately became energetic. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's such a coincidence! Our caravan is going to the Great Route. ! In this way, we can just be together!"

"Eh?" Xia Nuo was stunned for a while and said in disbelief, "No... isn't it, uncle? Your caravan... only has such a small number of people, how dare you go to the Grand Route?"

"Why not?" Wu Cun glanced at him doubtfully, and then as if he understood something, he patiently explained: "Although there are not many caravans going to the Grand Route in the East China Sea every year, it is definitely not impossible. As long as you have experience, With a rich old captain leading the way, and equipped with some weapons and artillery, there is a high chance that we can successfully climb Overturned Mountain. On the contrary, those pirates who are blindly confident in their own strength are often prone to accidents midway."

"You seem to be talking about me..." Xia Nuo winced and complained in his heart, "But having said that, I really didn't study the matter of climbing the Upside Down Mountain in detail before..."

At this time, he also realized that his thinking just now was simply in a blind spot.

For pirates all over the world, the Grand Route is a very noble and dangerous route. Those who can escape from that place are all great pirates, but this is related to their own profession and purpose. Taking the initiative to plunder, risking their lives with their colleagues, and having to evade the navy coming to hunt them down. In addition, the sailing experience may not be rich, so the chance of annihilation for a group of fish who have just left the novice village is naturally very high.

On the contrary, it is an ordinary large caravan. There are not so many enemies, and they dare not take the initiative to cause trouble. As long as they do not encounter natural disasters or some large pirate groups, they can successfully travel back and forth.

The probability is much greater.

"How about it? If you are willing to go to the Grand Route with us, I can do my best to report a place as a guard." Takemura looked at Xia Nuo with some worry and persuaded, "In that case, not only can you be honest If you stay on the ship and wait until you reach your destination, you can get a handsome reward."

Xia Nuo was a little moved when he heard this. Of course, it was not because of the reward, but for the safety when climbing the upside down mountain. However, after thinking about it, he still expressed his only worry at the moment: "What about the identity? What if I let him go?" The rest of the caravan knows my identity, what if someone wants the bounty and wants to go to the navy? Although they can't catch me, it wouldn't be good to implicate your caravan, right?"

"Identity? Hmm... It seems to be a problem." Takemura frowned at first, but then shook his head and said: "But it's not a big problem. The caravan had already resupplied at Pulos Island last night and entered the Grand Route. It will not dock again until now. Even if someone wants to go to the navy, there is no chance. If it doesn't work, you can just stay on this No. 3 ship. The guards on the ship are all friends I know. There are many people inside. You are a pirate hunter, I have always regarded you as an idol, you are absolutely trustworthy."

"Is that so..."

Hearing these words, Xia Nuo felt a slight qualm again. Sure enough, no matter what, Yasuo's name is the embodiment of justice and perfection in the East China Sea. Even if the Navy wants to discredit him in the future, it will probably cost a lot of money. With strength and time, at least for the time being, Xia Nuo can accomplish many things with it, which is simply a blessing...

"Okay." Looking at Wucun who looked at him expectantly, Xia Nuo smiled and nodded: "Uncle Wucun, just do as you say~"

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

After negotiating with Wu Cun, the subsequent progress was completely beyond Xia Nuo's expectation. The owner of the caravan seemed to be an owner who was not short of money at all. When Wu Cun went to the main ship headed by him to discuss, he almost did not hesitate. He agreed to the request to add another guard, and the reward given was no more than the other guards who had boarded the ship from the beginning, which was more than 200,000 beli.

Of course, this is also related to Takemura's reputation on the ship. As the deputy captain, Takemura is not only senior, but also powerful. The only person on the ship who is obviously stronger than him is the captain of the escort team, a middle-aged aunt named Evele. Yes, this aunt Xia Nuo has only seen her from a distance once. She looks pretty good, but she has a cold face all day long and looks unsmiling.

According to Takemura, this was the personal bodyguard of the hostess of the Drumon family. He once single-handedly killed a pirate who had a bounty of 8 million beli. One of the team’s biggest trump cards.

Due to Takemura's previous reminder, Xia Nuo had indeed stayed on the No. 3 ship and not wandered around. The only people who noticed him were some guards on the same ship, and they did not recognize Xia Nuo's identity, so throughout the afternoon, he They all lived quite comfortably and peacefully. After dinner, Xia Nuo, who was not on duty, moved into a small room at the end of the second floor of the cabin with the help of Wu Cun.

Strangely enough, Xia Nuo, who has severe bed-choosing syndrome, didn't know if it was because he had done too much today and was too tired. He fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. Even Xiao Luo, who was tired from flying in the sky, fell into a deep sleep. He sneaked into the room through the window without even noticing.

After a night of silence, the caravan sailed nearly a hundred nautical miles in the sea breeze. As the moonlight gradually faded, the white fish belly appeared in the east without knowing when, and a ray of morning light broke the silence of the night. r
