Fighters in Pirate World

"What? There's a bounty!?"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "That's a good feeling, I'm going to fight these big pirates with bounties on them."

"Damn it, you kid, don't be too arrogant..."

Seeing the look on Luo Chen's face when he discovered the humanoid Bailey, the pirate captain Morgan was so angry that he was about to shout with an angry look on his face.

As a result, Luo Chen suddenly disappeared from his sight the next second.

What followed was a heavy blow to his face, and his sight dropped rapidly as if falling from a high altitude, landing directly on the floor of the tavern.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and pirate captain Morgan felt a sharp pain instantly hit his body, and then his vision went black and he lost all consciousness.

After just one encounter, pirate captain Morgan was punched to the ground by Luo Chen and fainted.

"Gudong..." Everyone present couldn't help but swallow.

"He actually killed Captain Morgan with one punch...What kind of monster is he..."

All the pirates could not help but shudder.

"I remembered, he...he is the super bounty hunter star 'Fighter Luochen' who has recently emerged in the East China Sea!"

At this time, one of the pirates seemed to recognize Luo Chen. His face instantly turned pale and his voice trembled as he shouted.

"bingo."

Hearing the fearful shouts of the pirate minions, Luo Chen snapped his fingers and nodded, "As a reward, I'll give you a one-day trip to Impel City!"

"Run!"

"I don't want to enter Impel Down!"

Hearing Luo Chen's devil-like voice, the remaining pirates didn't have the courage to stay here and fled in different directions quickly.

It's a pity that Luochen has a bug-like training ground like the martial arts system. After a year of training, he has learned the Sixth Form of the Navy, especially the Sixth Form of the Navy, which has an almost teleportation speed. It is almost impossible for these pirates to escape. wishful thinking.

Bang bang bang...

Just like how he killed Morgan instantly, Luo Chen used the Sixth Style of the Navy Shave, and his figure turned into a dozen afterimages, appearing in front of the pirate gang members one after another, knocking them away one by one with punches and kicks.

In the end, the Morgan Pirates, which consisted of about 50 people, were knocked unconscious by Luo Chen one by one, and were thrown into a small pile outside the tavern.

"Okay, today's meal money has been settled, Cosette, now you don't have to worry about it, right?" Luo Chen dusted off his body and looked at Cosette who was happily 'touching the corpse' not far away. said.

"Of course, if we don't make some money, we will have to drink the northwest wind." Cosette said while searching for the pirate's wallet, "Also, don't forget that our ship was damaged by you. "

Then, Cosette took out a sack from nowhere and excitedly pocketed all the peleries on the pirate's body. "Well, the money I just carried was 26 peleries."

"Luochen, let's go to other docks to find their boat later. There will definitely be a lot of Baileys on the boat." Cosette tied the sack filled with Baileys and sealed it, then turned to Luochen and said.

"Okay, but before that, I have to do one more thing. Maybe we will have new partners joining us from today."

Luochen looked with interest at Raphael, who was sitting on the ground staring blankly at the wooden knife broken into two pieces.

Luo Chen also saw Raphael's performance before. He didn't expect that there was someone in the East China Sea who could slash with the sword energy of a swordsman, and that person was a 15-year-old boy who was two years younger than himself.

You must know that at this age, even Zoro cannot attack like a swordsman.

Although it is only one blow, it is enough. As long as you practice this kind of talent frequently, you will definitely become a great swordsman in the future.

"Your name is Raphael, right? Join us..." Luo Chen walked up to the dazed Raphael, stretched out his hand and invited.

Before Luochen could finish speaking, Raphael picked up the wooden knife that was broken into two parts on the ground, lowered his head and walked out of the tavern in silence.

"This..."

Raphael's sudden departure left Luo Chen stunned.

Just when Luochen was speechless, Cosette, who was cleaning up Bailey, slowly walked up behind Luochen and said softly: "Maybe that child has something to hide? I can feel that he is very sad."

Hearing Cosette's words, the tavern owner also sighed, "Well, that wooden knife was a relic left to him by Raphael's master. Now that it's broken, he must feel bad."

"Actually, that kid Raphael is having a hard time."

"Raphael lost his parents due to the pirate invasion when he was a child, and was later adopted by his master."

"Until 6 years ago, his master passed away and left him only a wooden sword, which was the wooden sword in Raphael's hand."

"After that, he was a 9-year-old child struggling to make a living in the village. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I made him a waiter in the store..."

Listening to the tavern owner's narration, Luochen learned about Raphael's tragic life experience and why Raphael walked out of the tavern without saying a word.

The relics left by the people closest to and respected by him were damaged by him. No matter who it was, he would not be able to accept it for a while.

"Well, in that case, Cosette, let's go see him together." Luochen sighed and walked out of the tavern with Cosette.

......

Outside the tavern, Raphael sat in the corner, staring blankly at the wooden knife that had been broken into two sections.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the wooden knife. The rough texture was like holding the master's hand when he was a child.

The wind gently blew over his face, and the leaves in the distance rustled. In a trance, he seemed to be back to his childhood, back to that summer...

"Master, what is a swordsman?" A child sitting under a big tree curiously asked the white-haired old man not far away who was constantly wiping a broken sword.

"Hahaha, a swordsman? A swordsman is a swordsman who helps the strong and the weak and protects the things he wants to protect..." The old man raised his head, looked at the child and laughed.

"Is this a swordsman? He's so handsome! Master, I want to be a swordsman too!" The child stood up and circled excitedly around the old man.

"Being a swordsman is very hard, you have to be prepared." The old man picked up the wine gourd he was carrying, took a sip, and laughed.

......

After a few years, the little boy grew up a bit. He held a broken cane in his hand and lowered his head in frustration.

"Master, do I have no talent? After all this time, I have only learned the first move of the 'Shenmengju Convergence' swordsmanship you taught me..." The boy was frustrated. said.

"Hahaha, you are actually very good and very talented, but the next four moves are still too early for you..."

The old man was lying on the bed, stroking the little boy's head, and handed a wooden knife to the little boy, looking a little weak.

"Actually, sword moves are not as important as you think. What matters is your swordsman's heart..."

.......

Raphael stroked the broken wooden knife, and a hint of sadness emerged in his eyes, "Master, am I really stupid? After so many years, I still only know one move."

"In the end...I couldn't even hold on to the wooden sword you left...I'm not even a swordsman."

Raphael held the broken wooden knife tightly, and the sharp wooden thorns at the break pierced deeply into his flesh and blood.

At this time, a steel knife in a scabbard appeared in front of Raphael's eyes.

"No, you are a true swordsman. At least you followed what your master told you, hoe the strong and the weak, and protect the things you want to protect."

"Who is it?" Raphael looked up and saw a man with bandaged hands holding a steel knife and handed it to him.

That person was Luo Chen, who had just wiped out the Morgan Pirates in the tavern.

After taking care of things in the tavern, Luochen first took Cosette to the knife shop in Murakami to buy knives, and unexpectedly found a good and sharp knife 'Tianxue'.

After some haggling, I finally bought it for 35 beli, and returned to the tavern to give it to Raphael.

Although there is no money for ship repairs or food now, these are nothing compared to gaining a partner.

Moreover, the Morgan Pirates should still have their pirate ships parked at other docks, so just grab their ships.

In addition, there will definitely be a lot of baileys stored on their ship, and those should be enough to support Luochen to the next island.

"If you only know one move, then practice it to the extreme. Practice it until you are unparalleled in the world and reach the top." Luo Chen put the steel knife in Raphael's hand, walked to him and sat down, "I will I have seen many strong men become the strongest with just one move."

This was not a lie simply to comfort Raphael. There were indeed people who could become strong with just one move.

For example, Zenitsu in Demon Slayer only relied on one move, Thunderbolt Flash, to achieve a combat power comparable to pillar level.

Another example is the tyrant in Fengyun, who almost dominated the martial arts world with just one move, "Three Points to Return Vitality".

So what if you only know one move?As long as you practice to the point of being unparalleled in the world, you can still become a strong person.

"Really?" Raphael looked at Luo Chen, who was sitting next to him, and said with some doubts.

"It's true, and you can only do it if you believe it first, right?" Luo Chen turned to look at Raphael and said.

"My name is Luochen." Luochen extended his hand to Raphael again and invited, "Become my partner, Raphael."

"I think your master doesn't want to see you continue to blame yourself like this, right? With your swordsman's heart, work hard to become stronger, and then hoe the strong, support the weak, and save more people. Wouldn't it be better?"

"..."

Raphael didn't answer, and sat in the corner with his head lowered, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Seeing the tangled expression on Raphael's face, Luo Chen understood that he was now confused. He could only rely on himself in this matter, and no one else could help him much.

Luochen put Raphael's broken wooden knife in a cloth and handed it to Cosette, and then placed the good and sharp knife 'Tianxue' in front of Raphael.

After a long time, Raphael seemed to have made up his mind. He stretched out his hand and took the good sword 'Tianxue' in his hand. He stood up from the corner and turned to Luochen and said.

"Okay, I'm willing to be your partner."
