One of the pirate swords splits the new world

Ryan was back on the boat, a little bored, so he went to strength train for a while. When Aslan and the other two came back, Sylvie cooked a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, everyone sat on the deck enjoying the breeze and eating while discussing several core issues of their stay on the island: first, where to recruit a navigator; second, how to judge whether the recruited navigator is good enough.

Several people had no clue. After all, navigation is a hidden skill and it is not written on the face. People who know navigation will not be as obvious as a swordsman who carries a knife on his body.

In the end, it was Ryan who made the decision.

Early the next morning, Ryan went to the dock to borrow a large wooden board, then wrote a recruitment notice in red paint and hung it on the side of the boat. Content removed:

Recruiting navigators

Requirements: 1. Never harm innocent people. Second, have excellent navigation knowledge and be able to ensure the safe navigation of ships on the Great Waterway. It is even better to have been to or be born in the Great Waterway. Third, those who can predict the weather based on climate change would be the best. Those selected will be treated favorably.

Others on the boat initially felt that Ryan's method was unreliable, but Ryan just said that any method is better than nothing, and that someone must come first to find out the outstanding navigators.

On the first day when the sign was put up, there was an endless stream of applicants, but after Ryan asked a few random questions based on the navigation books he bought, a group of guys who were just pretending to be a fake person left voluntarily.

The remaining guys have some knowledge of navigation, but some people don't even know that the Grand Line requires permanent pointers, so their assurance that ships can sail safely on the Grand Line is very unreliable.

As for those who met the third rule, some people wanted to hide it at first, but Ryan said casually: "When it comes to the Grand Line, if anyone predicts a mistake, I will cut him with a knife before the ship sinks." After that, no one did this Called himself.

Three days later, there was still no satisfactory navigator recruited. However, everyone is not in a hurry. They all know that the choice of a navigator must be cautious. After all, one's family and life are entrusted with it and cannot be careless.

On the fourth day, Ryan handed over the task of reviewing the applicants to Sylvie and Alya. They watched for three days and basically understood how to select. Ryan himself went to get a fast board and wrote a notice in red paint. The content is as follows:

arena

Take the challenge every day at 1000am and pm. The one who beats me will get a bonus of million Baileys. There is no limit to the identity of the challenger, but they need to answer a few questions from me.

As the throat of the same great shipping route in the South China Sea, Valentine Island gathers many people. There may be hidden masters among them, or strong men who have returned from the Grand Line. Ryan also wanted to take this opportunity to compete with various masters in order to perfect his sword skills.

Ryan walked to an open space on the dock and put the sign forward. A group of people immediately came forward to watch. Many people were excitedly discussing topics such as "How much is 10 million Baileys", "How long will it take", "Worrying about food and clothing for the rest of my life" and so on.

Ryan didn't rush him, he just found a stool and sat there waiting for someone to challenge him.

After a while, a 3-meter-tall man with a mace in his hand walked out of the crowd and said harshly: "Boy, do I really get million Baileys if I beat you?"

Ryan pointed to his boat and said: "My boat is right there. If you can promise me, are you afraid that someone will stop you from getting on the boat to get money? If I can't afford 10 million, the boat will be yours."

"That's easy to say, then I'll come and meet you."

Ryan stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute, you have to answer my question first. The rules are written on the sign."

"If you don't follow the rules, I'll beat you to death. Everything on the boat belongs to me." After saying that, the big man rushed up with a mace.

Ryan thought to himself, this man is probably a pirate, he is used to robbing things, he is very unreasonable. Ryan will not show mercy to this kind of pirate.

He drew his sword out of its sheath and cut off the mace in the big man's hand with one blow, while also making a deep wound on his chest that could see the bone.

Blood spurted out from the wound on the big man's chest, and he fell to the ground with a bang. He twitched for a while and then died. Ryan threw the blood on the knife to the ground and returned the knife to its sheath.

Then he pointed to the big man's body and shouted to the crowd around him: "If he is willing to answer my questions honestly and has not harmed innocent civilians, I can still spare his life. But he is unruly and attempts to kill people and rob others." Wealth, then I can only chop him with one knife."

Then, he said casually to the people around him: "This guy is either a pirate or a bully. Judging from his behavior, he has done a lot of bad things in the past. If any of you are interested, please take his head to the naval base to have a look. Look, maybe there is a reward?" After saying that, Ryan picked up the wooden board in front of him and walked to the boat.

Ryan’s plan was to complete the challenge in the morning, return to the ship to exercise strength, and meditate and practice sword swinging in the afternoon.

To wield a sword, or say to shake it, it uses half a barbell, an iron rod and a few pieces of iron. Inspired by Sauron.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ryan came to the open space of the dock again with the wooden sign. The body of the big man in the morning has disappeared. Someone probably took it to the naval base in exchange for a bounty.

Most of the crowd came to watch the excitement, and a few who wanted to challenge were also waiting to watch.

Finally, someone couldn't bear the loneliness and walked out of the crowd. This was a middle-aged man holding a rifle in his hand.

Many people in the crowd suddenly realized that this person was using a rifle against Ryan, who was wielding a knife, and using long-range combat against melee, in an attempt to steal the opportunity. But Ryan didn't comment much. Just ask as usual: "Are you a pirate?"

"No, I'm a pirate hunter."

"Have you ever killed an innocent civilian?"

"No?"

"Can you sail?" Yes, in order to speed up the recruitment of navigators, Ryan decided to add this question while accepting the challenge.

Unfortunately……

"will not."

Ryan nodded and was not discouraged. He drew his sword out of its sheath and said, "Let's get started."

"Bang", the middle-aged man fired the gun very quickly, and aimed at Ryan's shoulder without making a fatal blow. But Ryan used his excellent eyesight and intuition to detect the flight path of the bullet. He deflected the blade and knocked the bullet away.

"I give up," the middle-aged man said when he saw that Ryan had knocked away the bullet and was fully capable of rushing in and killing him with a knife before he loaded the next bullet, so he didn't try and gave in generously.

Ryan nodded and watched the middle-aged man turn and leave. Then, put away the sign and go back to the boat for dinner.

For seven consecutive days, no one who came to challenge could make Ryan give his best. During this period, many people realized that Ryan was rich, and thus had evil intentions towards other people on the ship, especially wanting to kidnap Sylvie and Arya. However, these people were eventually knocked unconscious by Aslan and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

At the same time, in the past seven days, the news that Ryan set up a challenge to accept the challenge spread further and further, and finally reached the naval base.

"Have you heard that the slave liberator, the swordsman Ryan, is setting up a competition at the dock. He invites masters to compete. If he wins, he will get 10 million Baileys?"

"Is something really wrong?"

Several sailors were whispering.

A rough voice came from behind, "What are you talking about?"

Several sailors turned their heads and saw a bearded man and a girl standing beside him.

Several sailors immediately stood up and saluted, "Colonel Wood."

Colonel Wood waved his hand and said, "Don't be so formal. Tell me what you just said."

"Yes, that's it..." The sailors put aside the matter of Ryan's challenge.

After Colonel Wood heard this, he rubbed it with his fingers and said, "Swordsman, um, interesting."
