Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

A small courtyard.

Hu~hu~

Hughes was shirtless, lifting a barbell half the size of a man with one hand, and sweat streaked through his lean muscle lines.

While he was exercising, he was thinking about his plan of action for participating in the auction.

After every auction, chaos inevitably breaks out outside the venue.

Those who snatch bid items, those who settle grievances, those who fish in troubled waters, those who take action at the slightest disagreement...

Especially this time there is Devil Fruit, a treasure of the sea.

It's okay if the successful bidder eats it immediately, but if he takes it away from the auction venue, there will definitely be a bloody storm outside the auction venue!

In addition, there are people like him and Lafitte who have ulterior motives.

He had some guesses as to why Lafitte landed on the Moro Islands.

For a devil like Lafitte who advocates violence and enjoys killing, this extremely chaotic scene is a feast!

And he also regards the auction as an excellent hunting ground.

Besides hunting, he had another purpose for attending the auction.

He wants to buy one of the auction items.

One of the fifty fine swords, the famous sword "Xia Chan".

Judging from the information in the auction brochure, "Xia Chan" is a one-handed sword, similar in style to a single scabbard.

Because of the special forging material, the sword will make a sound similar to the chirping of cicadas when wielded.

The name of the sword "Xia Chan" also comes from this.

There are two reasons why he wants to acquire this famous sword.

First, the energy and physical strength of a single scabbard are limited.

When he is in a tough fight or a close fight, if he continues to use the single sword scabbard after all its energy and stamina are exhausted...

It is likely to cause irreversible damage to the scabbard!

This is something he never wants to see, so a spare knife that suits his swordsmanship is crucial.

Secondly, the single scabbard has reached the edge of evolution.

Once the single scabbard evolves into a double scabbard, his fighting style will inevitably change from the one-sword style to the two-sword style.

The change during this period is by no means as simple as adding another weapon.

Whether it is the concept of swordsmanship or the fusion of sword moves, it requires some adjustment and changes.

There is no way to fuse the sword moves. You can only wait for the single sword scabbard to evolve before they can run into each other.

But he can start preparing for the fighting style and philosophy of the Dual Sword style now.

As for why he wanted to buy a famous sword, it was because his appetite had been whetted by the single scabbard.

The single scabbard absorbs the essence of life, not only delivering it to him, but also absorbing and digesting part of it itself.

Now he feels that in terms of the quality of the blade alone, the single scabbard is no worse than the big sword.

So he no longer bothered to use ordinary swords, at least they had to be famous swords.

As for the "Xia Chan" that is about to be auctioned, he is very satisfied with it in terms of style and quality, and is determined to win it!

He borrowed the treasures from the pirate ships in the port to prepare for the bidding for "Xia Chan".

As Hughes thought about it, he thought of Ed again.

In the early days when he formed the hunter team with Ed, he survived the weak period by secretly absorbing the pirates that Ed killed.

Not to mention that Ed also reversed his descent into the dark side.

Now that I meet Ed again, the situation seems to have reversed.

He wanted to help Ed, just like Ed had helped him.

But he didn't know what to do for a moment, just kill Lafitte?

Probably not.

Let’s not talk about whether we can kill or not. The important thing is...

Lafitte has become Ed's inner demon. Without taking revenge personally, Ed's paranoid mentality will be difficult to reverse.

Although Ed's strength has improved greatly, it is probably still not enough to face Lafitte.

"Forget it, let's see how the situation develops..."

At this auction, Ed will probably run into Lafitte. I hope he won't be too reckless.

Hu~hu~

boom!

Hughes dropped the barbell and headed indoors.

He planned to take a bath and then set off for the island where the auction was held.

......

in a blink...

The auction will come as scheduled.

On both sides of the main road leading to the auction, there were many thugs standing either openly or covertly watching the fun, or trying to fish in troubled waters.

tata tao~

A large group of people suddenly appeared from a distance.

"Look!"

"It's the Sickle Pirates!"

"That strong man with the huge scythe on his back is Gordon?"

"Yes, he is the great pirate with a bounty of 3700 million, 'Crazy Scythe' Gordon!"

After Gordon and his men walked away, another group of people came from a distance.

I saw more than ten people in black suits wearing sunglasses, surrounding a short and stocky man.

The man wore a top hat, a cigar in his mouth, and walked in a very arrogant manner.

"That's the old gangster "Capone Family"! "

"The one in the middle is 'gangster' Capone Becky, right?"

"Tsk tsk...Capone Becky just wiped out the "Como Family" a few days ago, and now they are in full swing! "

"What do you know, what Capone and Becky destroyed was just an empty shell!"

"The effective forces of the Como family, including the family patriarch, have long been slaughtered by the "Blood Sword"! "

"Then you know a lot about it?"

"That's when the Blood Sword rebelled against the Como family, I was there!"

The strong man who was refuted was a little angry at first, but when he saw the handsome face of the voice owner, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's go, I'll buy you a drink, and you can tell me about the blood sword in detail."

"Okay, what do you call me brother?"

"Just call me Jack."

"Brother Jack, let me tell you..."

The two of them drifted away, and the handsome man was completely unaware of the pity looks around him.

Not long after, a strong young man with a chain hammer wrapped around his body appeared from a distance.

The young man had a ferocious scar on his face and exuded a gloomy aura.

"That's... Ed with a bounty of 3100 million!"

"Is he the madman who failed in his attempt to be a hero and became so angry that he slashed the butcher's knife at the person asking for help?"

Next, the participants walked through the main road one after another, and some big pirates also caused a lot of discussion.

suddenly...

A figure came from a distance, and the discussions on both sides disappeared instantly.

The person who came was dressed like a dramatic character, wearing a top hat and playing with a cane in his hand.

There was a smile on his face, but this smile made everyone who saw it feel cold all over.

tata tao~

After the person walked away, sporadic sounds could be heard from both sides, but the sounds were as thin as mosquitoes and ants.

"Devil Sheriff...Lafitte, is he here too?"

"I heard that the Blood Sword is also on the island..."

"Coupled with the dead Bennett, the three demons have all come to the Moro Islands."

"There are really monsters and monsters here. Is the Devil Fruit so attractive?"

"Nonsense, if I was qualified to participate, why would I waste my time here with you trash!"

"What did you say?"

"You don't agree?"

boom!boom!

Even before the auction started, confusion had already begun to spread.

......

Inside the auction house.

Hughes arrived at the venue early and found an inconspicuous seat to sit with a wide view.

He leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, observing the venue covertly, looking for and marking suitable prey.

after a while...

The door to the venue closed with a bang, and the big screen in the center suddenly lit up.

Then a goateeed host who was dressed extremely slutty came onto the stage.

The auction has officially started!
