People are full of pirates

Chapter 226 Under Mihawk

"Title page serialization · Bermel chapter 1 · "The beginning of mother and daughter reunion""

"Another war ended. The 16th branch of the East China Sea Navy won a complete victory, and the corpses of pirates were everywhere. Bermel, who is a rusty fruit capable person, has made great contributions to this. For this, the center responsible for commanding the warship The school does not hesitate to praise itself.”

"Good job, Bermer! The lieutenant colonel said with a smile. He said that Bermel, who is already a second lieutenant, can at least be promoted two ranks to become a captain after this mission is over."

"Wouldn't that be the same position as the old Mr. Romanov? Beermer was overjoyed, but always felt a little weird."

"But she didn't have much time to think about it. After simply cleaning the battlefield, the warship set off again and headed towards the new target island at full speed. The place was already occupied by pirates. It is said that the captain is quite powerful. A fierce battle is waiting for them... "

————————
Twenty days later.

Great Route, G-8 Branch.

The warship on which Nuo Xia and others were on board had a simple supply here, and then was sent off warmly by the commander of the branch, Lieutenant General Baki.

Continue on your journey to the headquarters.

Nuo Xia stood at the bow of the boat, smiled and waved goodbye to Lieutenant General Bucky on the pier, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If he had come to the G-8 branch more than a year ago and met Lieutenant General Bucky, he would have only paid a respectful salute.

But now, he has been promoted to lieutenant general of the headquarters, and his status in the navy seems to be on an equal footing with these veteran commanders.

Even faintly, there is a feeling that he is inspected by a superior and is half his head taller.

It's subtle.

Fresh water, food and other supplies had been fully stocked. After a little questioning, Nuo Xia turned around and returned to the closed training room to continue today's training in hell.

This journey has been quite smooth.

I didn't meet any decent pirates, nor did I encounter bad weather or ocean storms.

Therefore, his practice these days has not been affected by the outside world, and has been improving in an orderly manner.

……

A few hours later, in the training room.

In front of an iron wall that was several meters thick, Nuo Xia's eyes were dark. After exhaling lightly, he suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist. The dark and rich armed color instantly wrapped his entire arm.

And the next moment, Nuo Xia's right fist was thrown out suddenly, and the fist landed on the iron wall.

Boom!
A thick crack first appeared on the iron wall, and within two to three seconds, it was completely torn apart amidst the sound of explosions, and countless fine pieces of iron flew across.

Even the entire warship shook slightly at this moment.

"The destructive power has improved again."

Seeing the iron wall crumbling and shattering in front of her, Nuo Xia nodded in satisfaction.

In the past few months, he has spent a lot of energy on the armed color, trying to improve the cohesion of the armed color and the penetrating and destructive power of a single point.

Now it seems that the penance was not in vain.

When he first returned to the West Sea, his punch at most pierced the middle of the thick iron wall, and there were countless cracks around it, but the ties still stood in place.

Compared with the current power, it is a notch lower.

"Able to defend and attack, armed color is really a good thing..."

Nuo Xia sighed, even though he majored in double-sword kendo, and after several battles, he was already a world-renowned swordsman.

But probably no one would have thought that the current self, even without a sword, could easily smash a pirate with a reward of over [-] million into a pulp, right?
"Afterwards, it's time to try more advanced techniques of using armed colors, such as covering the whole body without dead ends, or Liuying..."

He pinched his chin and pondered, suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked down between his legs.

If you use the armed colors more flexibly, can you...

Well.

Maybe when Taotu also returns to the headquarters and the two meet again, they can try it out?
It's been a month since we parted in a blink of an eye, and he really misses the little rabbit.

Well, there are also Shia and Belmer...

The former, on the way back to the West Sea from the New World, made many phone calls. It seems that her father's condition has gradually stabilized and improved, and there is no need to stay in the palace any longer.

Maybe before the end of the year, the blue-haired girl will be able to find time to come to the headquarters and meet her again.

Speaking of which, Little Luo has been staying in the Paja Kingdom, and he will be able to return to his side at that time. I haven't seen him for a few months, and I don't know how much he has been fed...

As for the latter, I have been unable to contact them recently.

Nuo Xia guessed it was due to her busy schedule and being on the go all the time, but Bermel had already eaten the Rust Fruit and became a capable person.

In the East China Sea, where a reward of tens of millions is considered a big pirate, he really doesn't need to worry about the safety of his childhood sweetheart.

"Lieutenant General!"

Pushing the door to leave the training room, just as he was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, a sentry screamed from the watchtower:

"Look quickly! From the direction of three o'clock, there, there seems to be a boat coming!"

"Yes, yes." Nuo Xia laughed a little, "What does it seem to mean?"

"Uh……"

The young sentinel scratched his head, his tone hesitant, "Because I'm not sure if it's a ship... It feels more like a wooden board, like a coffin, but there seems to be a figure on it..."

coffin?

Nuo Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, suddenly became interested, turned around and quickly walked to the bow, took the monocular binoculars handed over by her subordinates, and took a closer look over there——

as predicted.

From the foggy place in the twilight, I can see a small black shadow floating with the waves, and its scale is not even considered to be a speedboat.

And when the distance between the two sides narrowed, the appearance of the black shadow finally gradually became clear.

On a small wooden boat shaped like a coffin, sat a man with cross-legged legs, wearing a wine-red patterned shirt, and carrying an extremely thick black sword behind his back, like a standing cross...

What a dangerous place is the Great Route?

I don't know how many pirates who are roaming around the world, just stepped here, and their ambitions were destroyed and buried by the ruthless sea.

And that man, how dare he just sit on a small wooden board like this, floating around in a cool and unrestrained manner?

"How on earth did he do it?"

Several sailors couldn't help but marvel, "There is nothing on the boat, no sails, rudder, or oars. What is this guy using to row the boat?"

Of course it is one of the twelve craftsmen of the Supreme Paddle, Heidaoye.

Nuo Xia put down the binoculars and stared at the small wooden boat that drifted closer and closer, with a slightly strange expression.

Did you meet this guy at this time?
Life is full of surprises.

...............

Mihawk on the small boat actually noticed the warship from a long distance away.

He is not a pirate, nor does he carry a bounty on his body.

Therefore, he had no intention of avoiding it, but silently inserted Hei Daoye back behind his back, sat down with his legs crossed, and let the boat continue to drift forward, intending to pass by the warship...

"Ok?"

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that on the deck of the warship, there was a vaguely familiar figure from a distance, very much like the man he had been looking for.

Mihawk's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"...I searched all over the world and couldn't find it, I didn't expect to meet here by chance..."

He pressed down on the brim of his hat and murmured to himself.

Such an opportunity cannot be missed.

Not knowing that there is a saying that goes, "If you break through iron shoes, you can find nothing, and you can get it without any effort", the young swordsman stood up without hesitation.

With a little tiptoe, he rose and fell on the top of the waves a few times, relaxed and freehand, and floated on the deck of the warship.

…………

"Are you the Mihawk known as Hawkeye?"

As soon as he stood firmly on the deck, a leisurely voice came from ahead.

Mihawk looked up in surprise, and saw the tall figure in the white cloak of justice, looking at him with interest.

By the way, he raised his hand slightly to stop the sailors from raising their guns to surround them.

"It's down."

Mihawk ignored the vigilant sea soldiers, and couldn't help being curious when he looked at Nuo Xia, "Your Excellency Nuo Xia...has heard of my name?"

"Are you surprised?"

Nuo Xia smiled slightly, "I've even seen your picture in the newspapers. It's only been two years since I went to sea, and I've defeated many famous swordsmen. Considering your age, it's a remarkable thing."

What he said seems to be exaggerating. After all, in terms of age, the [-]-year-old Hawkeye is three years older than him.

But at this moment, the entire warship, including Mihawk himself, did not feel that there was anything wrong.

After all, compared to Mihawk, who has a nickname, the name Romanov Nuoxia has been famous many times in the past two years, and he is an idol admired and respected by countless people.

In front of such a top powerhouse with all prestige and status, what eagle-eyed and red-haired person is nothing more than an underachiever and a nobody.

"...It is a great honor, Your Excellency."

Mihawk couldn't help but took off his top hat, and leaned over to give a slight salute to cover up the slight smile that couldn't help but rise from the corner of his mouth.

"I thought you were planning to go around?"

Seeing this subtle change, Nuo Xia couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Now it's coming up again suddenly, why, did you see me and want to compete with me in swordsmanship?"

"It is indeed an idea, Your Excellency."

When he raised his head again.

Mihawk has recovered his usual indifference and calmness, as if nothing could shake his expression.

"Maybe your Excellency is not clear, but in fact, since a year ago, I have had this idea."

With sharp eyes, he looked at Nuo Xia and said in a deep voice, "However, fate was not at the right time, and I missed it several times. Today, it is a rare fate and finally we meet each other. No matter whether you are free or not, I will not miss this opportunity."

While speaking, Mihawk slowly pulled out the black knife Ye behind him, and held it tightly in his right hand.

"Please draw your sword, Your Excellency Nuo Xia."

He said in a low voice.

It's just a matter of wearing a green turban on the top of the head...

Mihawk's dignified and serious appearance made Nuo Xia's eyes move slightly, as if he saw Sauron outside Barati's restaurant twenty years later in a trance.

The only difference is that at that point in time, Hawkeye Mihawk, who was known as the world's number one swordsman and aloof, now looks like a low-level challenger in front of him.

"It's all about this, and I don't seem to be able to refuse..."

Nuo Xia waved her hand, motioning the subordinates around to back away, then looked at Mihawk, chuckled and said, "In that case, then I will do as you wish."

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, and everything around them seemed to fall into silence at this moment.

Immediately.

hum!
Amidst the sudden clear sound, the sword blade came out of its sheath, and at the same time cut out a majestic sword aura towards the figure on the other side!
boom!
The two sword qi collided with each other, exploding a group of dazzling cyan brilliance, approaching the sea surface of the warship, immediately set off huge waves, and blasted several water columns more than ten meters high.

laugh!
Before the aftermath of the clash of sword qi dissipated, two bursts of piercing sound suddenly exploded in the air, and the figures of the two shot out at the same time, interlacing together.

Snapped!
The ground under the two people's feet was shaken into huge cracks at the same time, and then spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, endless cracks in the form of spider webs appeared on most of the deck.

"Well, it seems that I miscalculated..."

When the blades collided, through the gap, Nuo Xia looked at Mihawk who was close at hand, smiled and said:
"It's my boat anyway, even if it doesn't hurt my people, it's not good if it damages the flowers and plants. How about changing to a quieter place?"

"I'm being rude, as it should be."

From the corner of his eye, Mihawk glanced at the cracks on the deck, nodded apologetically, and responded directly without much hesitation.

Just when the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and the moonlight fell, the two stepped out at the same time in the faint light, heading towards a remote island not far away.

The sailors on board were left behind, all staring anxiously, unable to see the process of the two swordsmen fighting, and tickling their hearts like a cat scratching.

-------
Clang!
Above the boundless sea, the sound of metal and iron clashing suddenly resounded through the sky, and the three sword blades clashed fiercely at a terrifying speed unimaginable by ordinary people, sparks splashed little by little.

In the moonlight, the surface of the blade shrouded in cold light reflected the outlines of the faces of the two young sword masters.

"The speed is faster than me, and the strength is much more than me..."

Eagle eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "As expected of Your Excellency Nuo Xia, it seems that this battle is more difficult than I expected, so I can only go all out from the beginning, please be careful."

"Just let the horses come."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly and chuckled.

next moment.

With an extremely serious face, Hawkeye clenched Hei Daoya's hilt with both hands, then raised it high above his head, and suddenly slashed forward with a sword.

Nuo Xia still looked indifferent, and the Yazakana sword and the wind sword came out together, and they slashed down together.

There are no fancy sword skills, nor any special abilities attached.

As a great swordsman who has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, the sword he slashed at this moment seemed unpretentious and simple.

But the terrifying power contained in it has already brought its own swordsmanship and domineering to the extreme!

hum!
The moment the two sword blades staggered and swung down, the sea suddenly set off a stormy sea!
The sword qi whizzed past, as if all the air had been pulled away from where it passed, and the sea water was crazily rewinding back and forth towards the sides.

Rumble!
Among the tumbling waves, a sea king happened to pass by this sea area.

Sensing the violent fluctuations from above, it roared angrily, poking its head out of the sea, wanting to see who disturbed its peace.

then.

In the next moment, two gushing sword qi passed through its huge head in an instant, and collided fiercely in that hard skull.

boom!
Above the surface of the sea, a terrifying storm suddenly set off, as if the end of the world had come.

This sea king with a body size of four to five hundred meters long did not even hold on for a few seconds, but with a whine, it completely cracked from the head.

Blood rained all over the sky, and the entire huge body was cut into countless pieces of meat by the aftermath of the collision and diffusion of sword energy.

In the horrified eyes of the many sea soldiers watching from a distance, they fell into the sea with a bang!
