Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

The edge of the hall.

Como, who had lost the breath of life, lay on the messy ground, with a line of blood spreading from his forehead to his chest.

His eyes widened, and a deep sense of unwillingness remained on his face.

"It's over..." Hughes whispered to himself.

The old guy had begged desperately for mercy before, but when he lowered his head to show his surrender, he brazenly pulled out his gun.

Of course he wouldn't be fooled by this little trick.

The revolver was cut in half by him as soon as he raised it, and Como's little life disappeared with it.

"what is this?"

Hughes looked to the ground beside him.

A letter with an ornate cover lay quietly there, presumably shaken off by Como when he fled in a panic.

Hughes picked it up and opened it and found a piece of paper and a small manual inside.

"Is this...an invitation to Moro's auction?"

He is no stranger to the Moro auction. He went there once with his family two years ago.

The Moro Auction is a large annual auction held in the Moro Islands.

At this time of year, all kinds of pirates, bounty hunters, underground killers and other desperadoes flock to the Moro Islands.

It can be said to be a gathering of experts!

Hughes gave the brochure with the auction items a cursory glance.

In the column of final items, a Devil Fruit with a strange pattern is listed!

"Do you even have devil fruits this time..."

Hughes had already anticipated that this auction would be crazier than the one he participated in.

and many more...

Hughes seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"This auction..."

"For me now, it is an excellent hunting place!"

When he attended the auction with his family two years ago, he was already salivating over those pirates with high bounties.

It's a pity that he was still too weak at that time, so he could only give away food when he bumped into those strong men.

But now, he is confident that he is strong enough to gain a foothold in the West Sea, and even run rampant!

Those high-level bounty criminals that he had to carefully avoid in the past are now precious resources for him to become stronger!

“I definitely can’t miss the auction in one month!”

With a clear goal in mind, Hughes was no longer willing to waste time on this gang.

He immediately returned to his residence and prepared to go to the Moro Islands.

the next day.

port terminal.

Hughes, who put on casual clothes, threw the two packages onto a small boat and jumped onto the bow.

Then he cut the fixed rope with a knife and officially set sail.

......

Four days later.

Hughes looked at the chart and compass in his hands from time to time to ensure that the course would not deviate.

During the past three years, he learned some navigation knowledge, but he was limited to reading charts and identifying navigation. He was not even a navigator.

Putting down the chart, Hughes looked at the sea in the distance and sighed.

The heroic spirit when setting sail has long since disappeared, replaced by boredom and dullness.

The unchanging sea and the boundless sky locked the small boat like a huge cage.

Puchi~

A splash of water suddenly hit Hughes in the face.

He turned around and saw that the single sword scabbard was constantly drilling in and out of the sea on the side of the boat, having a great time playing with the fish.

Hughes' mood became even more depressed.

"Ugh..."

"Let me chop up a pirate ship. If you don't have a pirate ship, a Poseidon-type one will do..."

Neither the pirate ship nor the Neptune class showed up, so Hughes could only pass the time by summarizing his situation.

Needless to say, his swordsmanship is on the verge of "cutting iron".

And after the battle with Bard, the shackles have been loosened.

The road ahead is no longer foggy. I believe that after several fierce battles, promotion will only come naturally.

He is very satisfied with what he has achieved in just a few years.

Here, the single scabbard is indispensable!

After all, at the beginning of the journey, a swordsman can connect with his own sword and wield the sword like an arm. This is already ahead of most swordsmen.

And he integrated the elf skills of the single scabbard into his own swordsmanship, creating a unique set of swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship has progressed rapidly, but the physical strength is slightly lacking, and the domineering power linked to the physical strength is far away.

This body has no domineering power, but hunting the villains of this world and absorbing the essence of life to transform the body gives him hope of mastering domineering power.

It's just that most of the fish they hunted before were miscellaneous fish, and even though their bodies had hidden domineering energy, they were still extremely weak.

This also led to the fact that even if his transformed body had domineering presence, it was extremely mixed and sparse, and it was only a delusion to guide and use it.

If you want to master domineering power, you can only absorb the life essence of the strong and continuously increase the quality and quantity of your own hidden domineering power.

Although it is difficult, there is hope.

Ok?

When he came to his senses, Hughes realized something was wrong.

The sky was getting darker, the clouds were changing rapidly, and the breeze was becoming increasingly manic.

The waves on the sea surface are constantly surging, slapping the boat at your feet back and forth.

"Hiss...it's not going to be a storm, right?"

Hughes immediately brightened up.

“It’s not boring now, it’s just that the fun is a bit too much!!”

all of a sudden...

The clouds are rolling and the thunder snakes are churning.

The showers hit the sea like a blanket!

Under the huge waves, a wooden boat struggled tenaciously...

......

I do not know how long it has been.

The sky became brighter and the sea became calm.

somewhere in the sea.

A medium-sized double-track sailboat sailed slowly.

The hull of the sailboat was somewhat cracked, and the flag on the main pole was fragmented, but it was vaguely identifiable as a skull and crossbones flag.

On the wide deck, a large number of big men wearing coarse linen clothes lay down, all looking extremely tired.

a long time.

A man wearing a captain's uniform and with sinister features climbed up from the deck.

This man's name is Billy, and he is the captain of this pirate ship.

Billy stood up and looked around quickly, touching his body carefully.

After confirming that he was not short of weight, he suddenly cursed:

"Fuck the storm, you made it through!!"

"..."

After some cursing, Billy looked at the crew lying on the deck and started yelling again.

"Get up, get up quickly!"

"Let me sail the boat!!"

While Billy scolded, he kept stamping on the floor with his big feet.

Even though the pirates were exhausted and reluctant, the captain's Silver Wei still got up quickly.

"Quick, let me sail the boat!"

Under Billy's urging, the pirate ship suddenly sailed faster.

moment.

A pirate who was observing the situation on the sea suddenly said: "Captain, there's something going on over there!"

When Billy heard this, his expression became a little panicked.

Just came out of the storm, don't let anything happen again!

"Go away!"

Billy immediately came to the side of the boat, grabbed his men's binoculars, and started observing.

"This is..."

Billy thought he was hallucinating, wiped his eyes and leaned towards the telescope again.

"It's not an illusion..."

Billy's expression gradually became strange.

"Is there someone flying towards us quickly?"

far away.

Hughes, who was still recovering from the disaster, still felt a little scared when he recalled the storm.

After the boat capsized, he stepped on the scabbard of his single sword and flew out of the range of the storm, experiencing the feeling of flying with a sword.

Although the shipwreck and loss of lives were avoided, it also lost its direction.

"Um...ship?"

Hughes's expression immediately became excited when he saw the silhouette of a ship appearing in front of him.

“Finally saw the boat!!”

At this time, the single scabbard was also extremely tired, and he saw the ship speeding up in an instant.

huh~

One person and one sword quickly rushed towards the pirate ship!
