Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

After taking care of Lafitte, Hughes also conveniently killed the culprit of the Orleans Massacre, the Leech-powered user.

Ed also began to deal with his injuries.

This time, in order to trap Lafitte, he used a large number of chains and made many holes on the body surface.

However, these wounds were all skin injuries, and more seriously, they bled a lot.

Coupled with the delicate manipulation of so many chains from a long distance, both the mind and the body are already quite exhausted.

Ultimately, he is still not strong enough, and his fruit abilities still need to be improved.

After expertly treating the injury, Ed sat on the stone to rest and looked at Hughes aside.

"Our next goal is to go to the Grand Line, right? Do you have any plans?"

"plan?"

Hearing this, Hughes started thinking with a headache.

Judging from the comics in the previous life, if pirates like them want to enter the Great Channel, they must safely pass through the turbulent sea currents that cross the Red Earth Continent.

And this step is enough to eliminate most of the pirates interested in that sea area.

To pass safely, strong ships, good navigators, and skilled operators are all indispensable.

Boats are easy to find, just go to the pier and borrow one which is enough for the time being.

There is no rush to find a way to get a better ship when you get to the Grand Line.

As for the operators...

His vision for the pirate group in the future should be a model that has both elites and numbers.

We can't be like the Straw Hats, who only have a few people. Every time there is bad weather, they are in a hurry and there are many dangers. From time to time, people fly out of the boat.

Of course, it cannot be made bloated and complicated if everyone wants it.

And forming such a pirate group cannot be completed in a short time.

As for the first batch of manpower...

With their current reputation, if they go to an island where pirates gather and raise their arms, a large number of people will come.

After some screening, the first batch of more reliable subordinates can be recruited.

The ships and manpower are okay for the time being, but the navigators are the most troublesome!

Whether it is crossing the turbulent sea currents leading to the Grand Line, or dealing with the complex environment and bad weather there, a reliable and excellent navigator is absolutely indispensable!

As for such a navigator, he could not find him now.

Hughes spoke out his thoughts and worries.

Ed also added some ideas and suggestions, but he also expressed his inability to deal with the key navigator.

For so many years, every time he went to sea, he always started in a small boat, leaving his life and death to fate.

I don’t know or heard of any professional navigators.

And so did Hughes.

moment...

Hughes stood up and walked towards the dock.

"No matter what, let's borrow a good boat first, and then recruit a group of sailors and handymen."

"Look for the navigator later..."

Ed nodded: "That's all it can do."

Then he got up and followed him.

......

Compared with the narrow and harsh environment of the great waterway, the vast four seas are the foundation for the rule of the world government.

In order to better maintain its rule, the World Government has established intelligence bases one after another all over the world.

These espionage strongholds are connected in series with each other, forming an intelligence network that spreads all over the world.

The main task of these espionage bases is to collect and investigate all information that is detrimental to the world government.

The scope includes various civilians, pirates, revolutionary troops, people from the underground world...

When necessary, they will even investigate and monitor the royal families and naval generals of the participating countries in the same camp.

The "Secret Garden" located in the Moro Islands is such an intelligence base.

It is also a vital node in the West China Sea espionage network.

Every day after nightfall.

A large amount of intelligence from various areas of the West China Sea will be collected in this bar for analysis and storage.

Secret Garden.

The proprietress sat lazily at the bar, resting her chin on one hand and looking in a certain direction with her eyes.

"Hey~ It's so boring..."

The proprietress stretched out her hands, half-lying on the countertop, and looked sideways at the bartender next to her.

"Is there anything new happening on the island, or interesting new faces landing?"

The bartender wiped the wine glass habitually and shook his head expressionlessly.

“boring...”

The landlady sat up again with determination, holding her chin and continuing to be in a daze, her pupils gradually dilated and lost in memories.

Fran Sonia, this is her original name.

She was born in O'Hara, which has disappeared from the map.

Her parents are both scholars of the Tree of Omniscient, and thanks to this, she can easily enter the Tree of Omniscient to read.

She likes to read all kinds of sailing travel notes and interesting amorous stories.

I also like to learn navigation knowledge, and dream of swimming around the sea when I grow up, experiencing and telling novel stories first-hand.

And she once thought about becoming an elegant scholar like her parents, but... alas~

She's definitely not stupid, she's just not interested in this aspect.

She thought so at first, until one day...

A little girl two years younger than her broke into her field of vision and became a scholar at a speed that made her feel staggering!

This little monster with dark skin, a fondness for boring history, and the ability to grow devilish arms like flowers...

Received praise from all scholars, including her parents.

Perhaps out of jealousy, she began to exclude and bully the little monster like other children.

She once pinched her face hard, threw small stones at her, and laughed at her skin like black coal...

During this period, she also saw the evil nature of this little monster.

When she was reading, eyes and mouths would pop up on the pages, making faces at her to scare her.

As she walked, arms would suddenly appear on the ground and trip her, causing her to fall.

When she complained to her parents, this nasty little monster would pretend to be pitiful and innocent!

Every time, her parents scolded her and warned her not to bully her peers.

Just when she thought she would always live in the shadow of this clever and sinister little monster...

This troubled and peaceful life was ruthlessly broken!

One time she went to sea with her parents and was attacked by a slave ship.

Unfortunately, she was captured by slave traders and completely separated from her parents, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

After many twists and turns, she was sent to the World Government's agent training center.

Since then, she has learned to hide herself and survive the elimination rounds.

One day, she heard the news of O'Hara's destruction, and for a moment she fell into a state of despair, not knowing what the meaning of continuing to live was.

Until she heard that the sinister little monster was still alive in the world and had become a thorn in the side of the world government, the son of the devil in the eyes of the world...

Her mood improved a little, because she was not alone, and she still had people she knew.

And compared to her, that little monster is O'Hara's true successor!

The more eager the World Government is to get rid of Nicole Robin, the greater the threat she poses!

She also saw a glimmer of hope for revenge against the executioner from Nicole Robin!

Years later, she became a member of CP9, the world government's espionage organization.

Then due to a certain opportunity, she came to Xihai and became the person in charge of an important node in the espionage network.

This stay lasted seven years.

During the past seven years, she secretly provided all kinds of help to Nicole Robin, allowing her to successfully escape capture.

She hopes that one day, Nicole Robin can transform into O'Hara's ghost and take revenge on that aloof and arrogant world government!

As the landlady reminisces about the past...

The bartender's ears suddenly moved and he said loudly: "Someone is coming towards us."

The landlady came back to her senses and responded: "Can you find out their purpose?"

The bartender shook his head: "I don't know, they didn't speak."

"But the footsteps were steady and strong. They must be some good players."

The landlady waved her hands casually.

"Maybe he's here to buy information..."

moment...

The door of the bar was pushed open, and three figures walked in, one in front and two behind.

The leading strong man looked directly at the bar, grinned and said, "Long time no see, Sonia."

When the proprietress saw these three people, her pupils shrank suddenly and her body instantly sat upright.
