Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"We can fight, but there is no need for both of us to fight."

Shanks blocked repeatedly, but had no intention of fighting back. Skyler frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

After saying that, Skyler also stopped and sheathed his sword. When Shanks saw this, he put on a smile and said: "Do you just want to drive out those of us who shouldn't be left in the world?

If you do it, it's better for me to do it. At least these two people won't have to get hurt or be stigmatized because of you. You can continue your trip, and I will take care of those people who shouldn't be in the world. "

Skyler thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Then what? What's the price?"

Although Shanks has always been a difficult person to understand, Skyler did not believe that Shanks only wanted Qingjiao and Huo Yi not to be injured. After all, Shanks was not a saint.

Hearing Skyler mention this, Shanks scratched his hair and leaned close to Skyler. This behavior almost made Skyler unable to suppress his instinct to draw the knife, but Shanks waved his hand quickly, with a look on his face. Fear.

Skyler calmed down his instinct, frowned, and listened to Shanks' whisper.

"Is the one with freckles my captain's child?"

Skyler twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you still not sure yet? I thought you were not a fool."

During the previous meeting at Windmill Village, Skyler mentioned it. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also hinted that he was the child of someone Shanks knew. With Shanks' feelings for Roger, it was impossible not to recognize him. out.

Shanks scratched his head and said: "Originally it was confirmed, but you brought him to Malinfando, and I'm not sure... However, when I think that it was your family who did it, I feel sorry for my dissatisfaction." I’m not sure anymore.”

Shanks was speaking like a tongue twister, but the general meaning was clearly expressed. Skyler suddenly felt something was wrong and said: "What is 'our family'? Is it possible that we are different from ordinary people?"

"Ahahaha~Ahahaha~that...that..."

Shanks smiled awkwardly and wanted to cover him up, but seeing the murderous look in Skyler's eyes getting stronger and stronger, he also got wise and said: "Informal! Unique! Unruly!"

Skyler's murderous aura slowly calmed down, and Shanks smiled again, moved closer, and said, "Is that freckle-faced child really the captain's child?"

"Yes, and then what?"

"Skyler, you don't need to look at me like a thief."

"Aren't you a thief? A pirate is not a thief?"

"It makes sense..." Shanks seemed to be led astray by Skyler, but he quickly recovered and said: "Just knowing that the captain's child is still alive, I feel enough, I thought. ..”

As he said that, Shanks shook his head, and Skyler's face also darkened slightly. After all, Ace was still alive, but when his mother was pregnant, the pregnant women on the island where she lived still had babies...

"Since you have no other ideas, please leave."

After Skyler finished speaking, he continued to look at Shanks with anti-thief eyes. Shanks continued to say shamelessly: "What's his name?"

"Portcas D. Ace, he took it himself after knowing the truth about everything."

Hearing this, Shanks nodded and said, "Ace... I miss his name so much. I'm leaving. Don't worry, I won't trick him into becoming a pirate. After all, I'm more optimistic about Luffy."

"Boom~"

The moment Shanks finished speaking, Skyler unsheathed two black knives. As a great swordsman who has practiced the art of sheathing swords for ten years, Skyler was the most terrifying when he hid the knives and then unsheathed them.

Even though Shanks had already started running, he was still knocked away by the aftermath of the slash.

However, during the flight, he still gave Luffy a big smile as Ace covered his mouth and restricted his movements.

Nurkic sighed helplessly, and then instantly appeared in the middle of Skyler's slash. His muscles bulged and his domineering flow flowed, and he resisted Skyler's slash.

"Sigh~"

After the blow dissipated, Nurkic shook his hands. He was not really injured, but the feeling was not pleasant.

Skyler also sheathed his sword at this time and looked at Shanks, who was looking in the air, Skyler on the ground, and Brooke, who were constantly going back and forth, as if they didn't know what to focus on.

Skyler looked at the two of them, coughed slightly, attracting their attention, and then said: "Mr. Qingjiao, Mr. Huo Yi, today is the pirate Shanks' invasion of the Flower Kingdom. The Flower Kingdom navy and navy Our Zhanye detachment will resist together."

Faced with Skyler's move to put all the blame on Shanks alone, the two heroes Qingjiao and Huo Yi... laughed and agreed, after all, they didn't have to continue to be beaten.

Qingjiao cupped her hands and said, "Thank you Lieutenant General Skyler for drawing your sword and helping me!"

Then he looked at Huo Yi... After a moment of silence, Qingjiao said: "Huo Yi, thank you, your Yunhe... I will try to find the best swordsmith to see if I can repair or reforge it." Give it back to you.”

Hearing this, Huo Yi's eyes were a little moist. He threw the broken short sword Yunhe on the ground, hammered the green pepper, and said: "Old bastard. The sword is no longer needed. I plan to abdicate and stop fighting."

It is very painful to lose to one person all the time in the same circle. Huo Yi once hated Qingjiao, but they are both grandfathers now, so it is time to take it lightly.

After all, how do you say that? "My ears are smooth at sixty". I have been smooth for almost ten years, and I have known my destiny for almost 20 years. It's time to let go.

Qingjiao smiled and hit Huo Yi a few times with her backhand. Then she looked at Skyler and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, will the dinner continue?"

Skyler was noncommittal. After all, he hit someone and they invited him to dinner. Skyler really didn't know how to answer, so he just acquiesced.

Qingjiao did not wait for Skyler's answer, but said to Huo Yi: "I heard from Tiger that you want to marry your granddaughter to my grandson? Let's have a drink and talk in detail later?"

Huo Yi was silent, looking at Cai who was stunned by Shanks' domineering aura and still not waking up, and said: "To be honest, I regretted it, you grandson..."

"Why are you talking to labor and management, you idiot? What do you mean by 'your grandson'??"

Qingjiao suddenly became furious and pressed his flat head against Huo Yi. Huo Yi, who was also angry from his heart, also pressed Qingjiao's head and said, "What did the boss say about your grandson? Could it be that that's not your grandson?!"

At this time, Qingjiao finally responded to Ali, Huo Yi was talking about Cai... However, Qingjiao was not convinced and continued to use force, saying: "That's not what you can scream!!!"

"Because of you, labor and management ruined a good and sharp knife, and now I can't even call you grandson?"

"Didn't I tell you that I would find someone to compensate you?!"

"I don't want it, I just want to call him grandson, what's wrong?!"

The two disrespectful old men started arguing like they did when they were young. Skyler watched with interest. Nurkic walked up to her and asked:

"Sir, do you really want Shanks to help us deal with those people?"

"You want to stop someone from helping with work? Moreover, we still have to give some face to the countries that join the World Government. We found "evidence" in the Kingdom of Germa, but the Kingdom of Flowers did nothing wrong. "

After Skyler finished speaking, Nurkic nodded. He knew that it didn't matter whether the evidence was evidence or not. This time, he was using his power to bully others. As long as his superiors could find reason, he would not stop.

As the members of the Babao Navy kept waking up, preparations for the dinner were proceeding in an orderly manner. At the same time, the "confessions" were unified. Whether they were unconscious or injured, they were all the pirate named Shanks. made!

After the dinner, the Zhanye detachment set off again, with no destination, just leisure and relaxation.

Shanks also kept his promise and continued to clean up those mafia or pirate groups that were entrenched in the West Sea and were unwilling to leave. This was not only to help, but also to train his men, and to maintain a good environment in his hometown.

Skyler, on the other hand, led the Zhanye detachment and during the trip, arranged to reestablish order in the area after the pirate groups or mafia were eliminated or driven away.

Although order will not exist for long in the inherently chaotic land of the West Sea... But if it can be done, why not do it?

For three full months, apart from training, having fun and traveling, the Zhanye detachment also reestablished order in the West Sea. With the help of Skyler, the West Sea detachment also regained those "bad lands".

It was easier than Beihai, but the report was much more beautiful than those two months in Beihai.

Three months later, the Red-haired Pirates entered the Grand Waterway with high profile, and the Zhanye detachment took advantage of the Red Continent and headed directly to the South China Sea. The West Sea, which had just been calm for a while, became chaotic again.

In Xihai, when many veteran mafias had not yet recovered from the major blow, something happened in Chigarek that made a certain mafia family angry.

In a winery, a short man wearing a silk shirt, holding a submachine gun in one hand and unbranded spirits in the other, announced that this place would be his territory from now on!

Talented people emerge from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones. What about pirates and mafia whose average "career life" is extremely short?

When the incident occurred, the warships of the Zhanye detachment had already undergone multiple transfers and landed in the South China Sea. Skyler found Brooke playing the violin alone on the deck behind the hull.

After arriving at the Zhanye detachment, Brooke used the piano the most, followed by the rapier, and rarely used the violin. He would only play if there was a gathering of a few people, or if a person was thinking about something alone.

But at this moment, Brooke was obviously thinking about something, just because he had no face. Otherwise, he would have frowned, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes at this moment.

Because the sound of the piano is very sad, and even several consecutive notes are out of tune, which is so harsh that even a layman like Skyler can hear it, but Brooke, a skeleton who is extremely passionate about music, does not notice it.

When Skyler walked up to him, Brooke woke up, put down the violin on his shoulder, and asked: "Sir, Madam, what's the matter?"

"Aren't you going to pursue the mafia who destroyed the Dual Realm?"

Skyler asked, the mafia family that destroyed the Dual Kingdom experienced a short-lived glory, but after the short-lived glory, it quickly became lonely, so lonely that Shanks didn't bother to clean up.

After hearing Skyler's question, Brooke was silent for a moment and said: "Every remnant of the Dual Kingdom is qualified to seek revenge from them...

Only I didn't, because I was a betrayer. If I took action, I would only make the remnants hate someone they could never avenge for the rest of their lives. This is too tiring. "

Skyler was silent. She couldn't understand Brooke's thoughts. She shook her head and said, "Then can you play the Dual Kingdom piece for us tonight?"

"There is a piano piece called "Double Rhapsody", which was composed by my first teacher Franz, but I have only learned the first fifteen pieces, and the last four... He hasn't composed it yet, so I Just left the dual kingdom.

But on the way, I have collected the scores of the next four songs. If you want to listen, I can play them for you. "

After thinking about it, Brooke agreed. Skyler nodded and said, "Thank you."

After thanking him, Skyler turned around and left. Brooke was stunned for a long time and said, "Thank you."

During the dinner, Skyler summoned all the team members, crew members, and even the imprisoned Revolutionary Army and Yamato, and came to the deck. Together with the dining table, the entire deck became crowded.

There was only a circular space with a gap of more than ten meters. There was a grand piano in the center, and a brand-new sheet of music was placed on it, with "Dual Yuan Rhapsody" written on the cover.

When the food and drinks were served, Brooke sat on the piano stool, released the cover, and turned to the sheet music of the first piece. The upper right corner was also marked "Dual Rhapsody" No. 1.

"Boom~"

After tapping the first syllable, Brooke's fingers kept dancing on the black and white keys. He didn't even turn over the music score. He had obviously practiced it until he knew it by heart.

From the first to No. 15, Brooke played almost in one breath. It was not until the last few syllables of No. 15 were struck that Brooke opened the bookmarked No. 16. Spectrum.

The rhythm is also perfect, but Brooke seems a little timid. Moreover, the upper right corner of the score is no longer marked "Double Rhapsody", but simply "Rhapsody" no. 16.

The same was true for the subsequent songs. Brooke played carefully, and the "Double Rhapsody" on the score was also changed to "Rhapsody". I don't know why.

For two hours, the rhapsody came to an abrupt end after Brooke hit the keys hurriedly. The deck was silent for a while. When the sound of the piano disappeared, the applause started.

Brooke also looked like a pianist who had just finished playing in the Golden Hall. He stood up, bowed, and even waved to the "audience". The members of the Zhanye detachment also cooperated very well.

"Encore! Encore!"

"Encore" sounded, and Brooke did not leave the stage. Instead, he returned and sang several traditional ditties from the Dual Realm, making the place cool down again before he bowed again.

The Zhanye detachment reluctantly "let go" Brooke. Brooke returned to his seat with the music score. Skyler looked at him and asked: "Why are the last four pieces named after "Rhapsody"? "

Brooke took a sip of the wine and then said: "I heard someone say that the last four poems were discovered after the teacher's death. When they were published... the Dual Realm had been destroyed, and it was no longer suitable to be called "Double Elements". Yuan Rhapsody."

Hearing this, Skyler stopped continuing the topic and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Brooke just nodded without replying and continued to eat.After a while, Skyler suddenly said: "When you return to the Great Channel from the East China Sea, take the Upside Down Mountain. You should also know that there is a whale waiting for you there."

Hearing Skyler's words, Brooke raised his skull head, lowered it deeply, and said: "The original agreement, now I am the only one left who cannot be identified, and... what we said before is Come back to pick it up after circling the Grand Line.”

"Now do you think you still have a chance to circumnavigate the Grand Line?"

Skyler smiled and reached out to pat the epaulette on Brooke's cloak of justice. Brooke was stunned. After a while, he said:

"Then... let's just pass by. If it still recognizes me, I will take it away. If it doesn't recognize me..."

"Row."

After Skyler finished speaking, she stood up and left. She started eating two hours earlier than Brooke. As a person who is not very musically literate, Skyler is not like Nurkic or Hamilton who is immersed in music and forgets to eat. realm.

During the journey to the West Sea, Skyler did not meet the revolutionary army. He was not able to meet the "Yordles" from the pirate world, which made Skyler a little disappointed.

Compared with the North Sea and the West Sea, in the remaining South China Sea and the East China Sea, there are almost no pirate groups that are qualified to go to the Great Channel. In the current South China Sea, there are almost no accomplished pirates.

It is difficult to even find a pirate ship that can pass through the Upside Down Mountain. Therefore, if the Zhanye detachment does not encounter it, it has no intention of actively going to the pirate group to enforce justice. After all, the Zhanye detachment has cleared them all, then the Nanhai branch will be next. Life has been difficult for a few years.

It can't be that the other maritime branches have submitted reports one after another, and the South China Sea branch has handed over a piece of paper that says, "There will be no turmoil in the South China Sea this year," right?Then it is estimated that the navy will hardly survive.

After all, the navy's basic military salary is not high. Without meritorious service and rewards, it is no problem to live alone. After all, except for a very few branches, most branches have canteens and provide accommodation.

But the Navy also has families and social needs, and basic military pay... In Skyler's naval career, the lowest rank, except for the recruit training period, was 15 Baileys...

The military rank of the Sihai branch is three levels lower than that of the same level in the headquarters. In other words, a lieutenant in the branch will probably have to pay a month's military pay if he goes out for a meal.

During service, military pay is actually equivalent to pocket money, and rewards are wages. However, when the Navy retires, the security benefits are very generous, and the longer the service period, the greater the security benefits.

The money that the Navy can receive from the Navy system, except for the rewards approved by the World Government, is quite generous. There are only two amounts of money, one is retirement security payment, and the other... is pension.

Therefore, pirates are actually very valuable to the branch, which does not receive generous benefits. Even when Skyler first led the team and when he returned to the East China Sea to clean up the navy, the captured pirates would be handed over to the branch.

Although most of the rewards will still be given to the Zhanye detachment, each detachment can work together for a bit, including Garp, who is also very conscious. Although he often returns to the East China Sea to suppress pirates, he will always cooperate with the detachment.

Even just handing over and docking pirates can make colleagues in the branch drink soup.

This is why the elites of the branch strive to get into the main branch or the Grand Channel Branch, because even as a soldier there, the treatment may be better than as an official in the Sihai Branch.

Of course, there are also some branches of the navy that have fallen into depravity and chosen to associate with pirates, but the situation has improved in recent years. After all, because of the previous period of purging the world, the branch officers were rotated, making it difficult for darkness to breed.

The Zhanye detachment stayed in the South China Sea for two months, and took Pony home on the way. However, she was stubborn and told her uncle, who was the king, that he would not escape if he was not stronger than her father.

We also went to Patrila Island, which is the birthplace of Ace and the place where his mother was born and died. It is also a...dead city.

In fact, when Ace was born, there was almost no one on Patrila Island. Some of the islanders were afraid of the coming of the World Government again, and some wanted to leave this sad place.

Over the years, Patrila Island has become completely deserted. Skyler took Ace to the house where his mother gave birth to him, stayed for a few hours, and then left.

Skyler had already told him about Ace's mother, so the two were very silent on the island. Until the end, Ace just said "I won't let this happen again."

Two months later, the Zhanye detachment finally arrived at the East China Sea, the only one in the world that had not been "inspected".

But this time, Skyler didn't go to Windmill Village first, but... Frostmoon Village.

After becoming a so-called naval hero, Skyler felt that the biggest change was that the people never understood the Zhanye detachment, but became "aware" and aware of it.

For some people, this is a kind of enjoyment. Of course, some people are disgusted with this feeling. For Skyler...she doesn't care, she neither enjoys it nor hates it.

After all, if you are surrounded by people, you will not lose arms or legs, nor will you have more arms and legs.

The same arrangement as the last time he came to Frost Moon Village, others were free to move around, and Skyler came to the Issin Dojo amid the welcome of many villagers.

Koushiro, who was teaching swordsmanship to his students, was a little confused when he heard the commotion outside. After all, Shuoyue Village rarely had lively scenes.

This may also be the reason why the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dorag, likes to come here, because no one will disturb him here. As long as he does not disturb others, this is simply the most suitable place for the Revolutionary Army.

While Koushiro was puzzled, Skyler slowly walked in from outside. Perhaps out of respect for Isshin Dojo, the villagers did not come in. After all, if it were not for the founder of Isshin Dojo, their parents might have been killed by pirates. .

Although that person has passed away, although the current successor, Koushiro, has not done anything to save the whole village, he has prevented the children in the village from running around all day long, and the parents have a stable place to work. Therefore, The villagers also have respect for Koushiro.

After all, Koushiro not only teaches swordsmanship, but also teaches writing, culture, dealing with people, and how to behave. Koshiro will teach his students during their sword training, which undoubtedly helped the villagers solve a lot of troubles.

After Skyler entered the Isshin Gym, the gym became a little quieter. Everyone looked at Skyler in silence, not knowing how to greet him, especially since Koushiro hadn't said he could move around freely.

However, there were two children who were still concentrating on their training. It was Kuina and Zoro. They seemed not to hear the surroundings become quiet, and they did not know that anyone was coming.

After all, the two of them were still in the early stages of kendo training and had no idea how dangerous it was to be completely focused on the sea. After all, the enemies on the sea were not just the wooden stakes in front of them.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing that his daughter and the most talented disciple did not stop, Koushiro was a little embarrassed and coughed slightly, but the two of them still showed no reaction.

"Zoron, Kuina."

Koushiro had no choice but to speak out, and the sound was much louder than the cough just now. The two finally stopped, turned their heads at the same time, and looked at Koushiro with dissatisfied eyes.

How can you stop training when your body is obviously not too tired to move? !

However, what they saw was Koushiro's rare serious and even stern gaze. Both of them realized that something was wrong, but their reaction was to point the bamboo swords in their hands at the gate opposite Koushiro.

"It's a good remedial response. I'll probably praise you like this after your companions die."

Skyler opened his mouth to comment, and Koushiro nodded. He had not experienced any fierce fighting, but the only thing he couldn't teach was tension, and he was not the kind of education method that used the edge of the sword and the strength of the sword to sharpen his disciples.

Therefore, after the students who come to the venue reach a certain level in terms of skill and body, he will agree to let the students go out to sea. After all, not everyone is like him and can become a great swordsman by communicating with swords.

At this time, the nervous teenagers and girls, after experiencing anger that was too brief to stay in their brains, became uneasy because they recognized Skyler's identity.

Guina was afraid that Skyler would be disappointed with her because of her performance today, and Zoro... just before training, he was still in front of Guina, deliberately hurting Skyler and praising Miho. gram.

There is a saying that "If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." But Zoro was... wrong at this moment.

Koushiro looked at the performance of the two children, but in the end he couldn't harden his heart and took the initiative to come to the rescue: "It's just two apprentices, Lieutenant General Skyler, long time no see."

"Well, we haven't seen each other for some years, and I understand how overestimated I was at that time."

Skyler smiled and nodded, recalling the first time he came to Frosty Moon Village... Skyler at that time was probably far from the kind-hearted person in front of him.

"Lieutenant General Schuyler is joking. Please tell me a little while, and have a casual dinner together in the evening."

After Koushiro finished speaking, he saw Skyler nodding in agreement, turned around and picked up a small bag next to the seat just now, and said to Kuina: "Guina, go buy some meat."

Guina took the money bag and asked with some excitement in her tone: "Father, how much do you want to buy?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept drifting towards Skyler, who was already standing next to him. Seeing his daughter's appearance, Koushiro smiled and said, "Just buy as much meat as you have left, Zoro, you too Please help me."

Zoro lowered his head, only daring to raise it a little, and lowered it again, nodding in agreement. If it were an enemy or a target on the sword path, Zoro would not be so scared.

But... he had "slandered" Skyler too many times. He had already imagined that he had slandered her in terms of swordsmanship. He also imagined that he had slandered her as a person, so this made Zoro feel guilty.

It's a guilty conscience for having done bad things, but it's not out of fear of strength or status.

Kuina squeezed the money bag, which was a little thick and a little doubtful, but Koushiro had already urged her with his eyes, so she had no choice but to put aside her doubts and lead Zoro away from the dojo.

After walking out of the dojo and some distance away, Zoro asked: "Do you know Lieutenant General Skyler?!"

Guina shook her head and said, "I don't know her, but I heard from my father that she came once when I was a child."

"Then what? Then what? Has Master already fought her? Who won?!"

"We didn't fight, we just chatted. But I heard from my father that Lieutenant General Skyler was already a great swordsman by that time!"

Kuina said proudly, while Zoro was a little disappointed. Seeing Zoro's appearance, Kuina suddenly smiled and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler said he would accept me as a student!"

"When? Why haven't you said it before?"

Zoro was a little shocked, and inexplicably a little scared. It might be because he was afraid of losing Kuina as his "rival", or it might be for other reasons.

Zoro didn't know that Skyler had said that he would accept Kuina as his disciple. Even when the two had a heated argument about the world's greatest swordsman, Kuina never mentioned it.

Because Kuina was not confident in her heart, because Koushiro told her about Skyler's past deeds. He joined the navy at the age of 15 and graduated with the first grade in his class a year later. Moreover, he was already a swordsman at that time.

Two years later, Skyler was not enough. In the year he came to Shuangyue Village, he had already become a great swordsman in terms of his understanding of swordsmanship.

According to what Kuina learned from Koushiro, a swordsman... is a strong man who can cut through iron with just one hand. A great swordsman is a strong man who can cut anything as long as he wants to, and can cut anything as long as he doesn't want to. By.

This is also the reason why Guina regained her confidence after hearing Skyler's story and believed that girls are not necessarily worse than boys. It is also the reason why Guina became less confident after thinking about Skyler.

After all, according to her father, her body has not yet reached the minimum requirements for cutting iron, and her kendo has not even crossed the threshold, let alone the ability to enter a palace.

Because of this, Guina has always been afraid that Skyler would not appreciate her talent and choose to regret it.

The reason why I say it now is because...she has witnessed Sauron's rapid growth with her own eyes, and Sauron's talent is something her father said she had never seen before.

Kuina, who was unconvinced, made the same progress as Zoro in the same period of time. Coupled with thousands of duel victories, her confidence was once again cultivated.

Although Skyler's words just now almost caused her to lose her power, as long as Zoro is by her side, Kuina has enough confidence.

Therefore, she said with a smile: "Because until now, I feel that I am qualified to be her student!"

Looking at Kuina with a bright smile facing the setting sun, Zoro was a little envious, but soon...a sense of dissatisfaction grew in his heart and swelled rapidly, and he shouted:

"Kuina, I will find a swordsman who is more powerful than your teacher, and then I will learn stronger swordsmanship and defeat all swordsmen!"

Kuina looked at Sauron. For some reason, he felt that Sauron's words were very powerful. Her smile remained unchanged, she raised her fist and said, "Then I will only need to defeat you to become the world's number one." A great swordsman!"

"That time, I will never lose!"

Zoro said, also raising his fist, and their fists collided.

Under the setting sun, on the street, among the gazes of countless people, these two people were perhaps the only ones who did not regard these words as a child's joke.
