Pirate Shadow Guardian

"Yangye, those pirates killed all the guards and left."

Jasmine also reported the situation to Xiangyang.

She has recently been guarding the only way from the garbage mountain to Yang Ye's residence, using her ability to live in shadows to monitor the movements of all parties.

As the war was approaching, Zoro and his men were camping near the garbage mountain. The two sides did not meet up, and Yang was currently an open target, making it easy for him to be targeted.

He himself could escape effortlessly, but Zoro and the others couldn't.

When the big fish arrive, the yang will turn from bright to dark.

only…

"Has the Goya Kingdom also fallen? It seems that the pirates are putting a lot of pressure on them! But these greedy pirates don't have any stance, they only care about profit!"

Yang also smiled sarcastically, with a hint of coldness in his smile.

"Since the Goya Kingdom attacked me first, I should definitely give them something in return!"

After Jasmine ate the Animal-Type Bird-Bird Fruit, Shadow Crow Form, Yangye's mobility and safety were greatly improved, and he was no longer afraid of the Shadow Fruit being exposed.

But he is not like Luffy, who tells everyone: I am a rubber man who ate the rubber fruit...

It was still the same principle. Once it was used in front of others, he would try to silence them. As for what others would think afterwards, he was not worried.

There are so many strange and bizarre fruit abilities in this world, let them guess.

I didn't dare to expose myself at first because I was weak and afraid of trouble.

I am showing off my strength now because I am afraid of trouble. If I don't show off my strength, it will be like now, and anyone can come and catch me for a bounty.

Especially after having Jasmine, who could fly and hide underground, Yang felt a little more secure and was no longer as cautious as before.

The most important thing is that a secret only needs to be guarded closely when no one knows about it.

Now that Garp knows my background, and he invites me to join the navy on behalf of Sengoku, that means the navy already knows it.

Then there is no need for Yang to be so entangled.

After finishing things here, I will ask Xingye’s opinion, and then decide whether to bring Xingye to Windmill Town or to Frost Moon Village.

After that, I will just practice in seclusion and see the attitude of the Navy and the World Government.

Thinking of this, Yang also told Jasmine to continue watching, and he disappeared into the night.

.........

Kingdom of Goya.

Royal city, guard station.

This is the headquarters of the Royal City's security force - the Guards.

The guard consisted of only a few hundred men, mostly militiamen, and the leadership was made up of minor nobles.

Similar to the guards, there is also a palace guard. It is composed of nobles, who are not only strong, but also have luxurious equipment and good combat power.

Yang naturally had no intention of breaking into the palace guards. He did not have the ability to fight a member country of the World Government head-on.

However, it would be nice to kill a few nobles from the guards to vent your anger.

Due to the recent unrest, a curfew was imposed in the royal city. It was very quiet at night and the guards squatting at the city gate were yawning in boredom.

They didn't know that a team of their colleagues who had just left the city to carry out a mission had already died. At this moment, they only wanted to change shifts quickly so that they could go back and have a good sleep.

Even though things have not been peaceful recently, they have been doing nothing for a long time and just driving away some untouchables. This lazy work attitude has been ingrained in their bones.

So, after Yang passed through the city gate, he was surprised to find that there was no one patrolling the street! This gave him an illusion that he could walk to the guard post without using his fruit ability?

Of course, Yang still chose to move in the shadows for the sake of caution. This was also faster, so he could finish earlier and go back to sleep earlier.

The guard post was not far from the city gate, only two kilometers away. Yang Ye traveled a few hundred meters, which was just a few seconds, and he arrived in front of a building.

Normally, a military camp-like building like this would be divided into several parts, such as dormitories, training grounds, canteens, offices, meeting rooms, etc.

However, since land in the royal city is extremely valuable and the militia has little status, the guard station is located in a solitary building with all facilities crammed inside.

Standing on the top of the building, the observation Haki with a range of nearly 300 meters easily covered the entire guard.

After finding a target with a stronger energy aura, Yang Ye appeared beside the other person's bed the next moment.

The invisible sword in his hand swept across, making the sleeping person fall into a deep sleep. Yang then changed his target again and repeated the same sleep-aiding service.

Maybe the guards are not taken seriously. There are only fifteen of them with energy fluctuations comparable to the Sita, and there is only one who is stronger...

Yang felt a little regretful, it seemed that these fifteen were cadres like team leaders, real captains and commanders, but none of them were in the dormitory!

I don’t know whether leaders all have their own homes outside, or whether leaders have a more colorful nightlife.

Even if there was a curfew outside, Yang Ye would not doubt that there were definitely places open for business. There, only the noble people were open.

Yang, somewhat disappointed, sighed and was about to leave. But at this moment, his observation Haki sensed a powerful energy fluctuation.

There are experts!

This is a master whose energy fluctuations are no less than the previous captain of the seventh squad of the Creek Pirates!

Yang also quietly stayed in the shadows, not revealing any breath, and at the same time, silently sensing the other party's current position.

He didn't want to carry out the assassination outside the guard post. When people are outside, no matter how relaxed they are, they will always remain vigilant, especially experts.

However, if you are in your own territory, or even your own room, your sense of security will be greatly enhanced, and you will relax your vigilance.

Yang was waiting for this moment!

five meters.

Four meters.

three meters.

two meters.

one…

Just as the other party pushed open the door of the guardhouse and turned around to close the door, Yang also appeared behind him!

The shadowless sword in his hand seemed to be non-existent, stabbing straight towards the opponent's neck, the whole process was silent...

Everything seems to be going very smoothly.

But a master is a master. His instincts in the face of danger and his sensitivity to smell are beyond the reach of those small fry.

He didn't notice Yang Ye's appearance, but he smelled a strong smell of blood! His intuition was warning him frantically!

Dodge!

Get out of the way!

If you can't dodge, you will die!

He was originally drunk, but he sobered up in an instant, and suddenly threw himself to the side, trying to create distance between himself and the enemy.

This pounce did allow him to dodge the sword, but the sense of crisis he felt intuitively did not disappear, but became even stronger!

When he was still in the air and had not yet touched the ground, he felt a slight stinging sensation on the top of his head, and then he lost consciousness.

The ninja sword is really useful!

By sensing the flow of qi and combining it with the human body structure and force-generating techniques, one can predict the opponent's next move, which is equivalent to a copycat version of "predicting the future."

The difference between predicting the future and ninja swordsmanship is that predicting the future is seeing, while ninja swordsmanship is the conclusion drawn through intelligence collection and analysis.

That's what happened to this person just now. The flow of qi in his body was captured by Yang Ye, and then he immediately figured out the other party's next move and directly shuttled through the shadows.

After that, just wait for the opponent's head to hit Wuying directly.

This magical scene also made Yang more determined to practice ninja swordsmanship.

He was just a beginner now, and calculations and judgments took time, so he didn't calculate the opponent's movement trajectory until the opponent pounced out.

If you become proficient in it in the future and turn calculation and judgment into a physical instinct, then you can pretend that you can foresee the future!
