Chapter 457: A Year and a Half Later
Today's Storm Pirates, as one of the few top forces in the New World, are undoubtedly the target of many pirates who have broken through here.
Ben has been looking forward to it because of the news circulating on the island, and after getting a negative answer at this moment, the loss and regret in the hearts of these people in the tavern can be imagined.
In a sigh, Cavendish shook his head slightly, and did not speak again.
He drank the wine from his glass intently, and after settling the bill, he left the tavern with his men.
……
After passing through several alleys, Cavendish and his party came to the dock to the southeast.
Inside the harbor, three pirate ships are moored.
The largest of them was the Tempest, which was in the middle.
On the left and right sides, one is the main ship of their handsome pirate group, and the other is a little strange, not only is it shaped like a deep-sea submarine, but there is no skeleton pattern on the pirate flag, instead it is a round toothy smiley face.
A white bear in orange overalls, holding his chin with his hands, was lying on the railing of the submarine in a daze, and behind the white bear, there were several people also wearing orange overalls, lazily basking in the sun on the deck.
"Hey, Bebo!"
Cavendish looked up and greeted the white bear with a smile: "What about that guy, why didn't you see him?" ”
"Captain, he's gone to the big conference room on the Tempest."
The white bear Beibo came back to his senses from his daze, and after seeing the group below, he hurriedly replied: "Lord Xia Nuo has gathered all the cadres over there, as if he is going to say something later, Captain Cavendish, since you are back, hurry over." ”
"Mistress Xano has returned?"
Cavendish was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes, nodded hurriedly, and said excitedly: "Got it, I'll go right away!" ”
After saying this, he said a few words to a few subordinates behind him, and then hurried straight to the cabin of the Tempest.
Looking at Cavendish hurriedly moving away, the white bear Bebo smashed his mouth and said with some emotion:
"I really can't see it, Captain Cavendish, who is usually cold and indifferent, will be so excited when he hears the news that Lord Xia has returned."
"Hahaha, needless to say, Captain is one of Lord Xano's most loyal admirers!"
Several handsome young crew members of the pirate group looked at each other and grinned, and one of the young men with a sword at his waist interjected:
"Besides, Lord Xia Nuo hasn't been back to the ship for three or four months when he went out this time, right? Not to mention Captain Cavendis, we've all been thinking about it! ”
"Yes, I'm finally back, and I must have three ships together to hold a grand banquet tonight!"
"Haha, of course!"
"It's just a pity that the people of the Giant Corps are temporarily separated, otherwise, with those uncles here, the atmosphere will be even more enthusiastic, right?"
"Hehe, even if that's the case, it's actually not without benefits, at least drink tonight, and I'm not afraid of losing face because I can't fight them."
"That's right, those uncles of the Giant Corps, when it comes to drinking, they are all monster-level existences......
The few people in orange overalls on the submarine also joined the topic and talked about it with the young men of the handsome pirates.
Apparently.
After more than a year of continuous getting along with each other, the relationship between these pirate groups under the Swift Wind Fleet is now quite harmonious and familiar, whether it is a cadre or an ordinary crew.
…………
Tempest, first floor of the cabin.
Excited, Cavendish pushed open the door to the large conference room. At this moment, there are already many cadres sitting at the conference table inside, and the crowd is full of voices, and the chaos is quite lively.
"Yo, I'm back, brother, come and sit here!"
A loud voice rang out, and Cavendish followed the sound to find that it was Boatswain Rummp who greeted him, and he smiled and nodded, pulling away the empty chair beside Rummp and sitting down.
"It's just in time!"
Sitting opposite was Ross, the captain of the Ichiban team of the Wind Pirates, who was originally chatting with Daniel next to him, but after seeing Cavendish sit down, he grinned and said:
"I heard that you went to the town to find a drink to drink, and the phone bug couldn't be contacted, and I was going to send someone to call you, but I didn't expect you to come back first."
"It's just a coincidence, I just heard what Bai Bo said about Lord Xia Nuo's return."
Cavendish looked left and right, but didn't see the familiar figure that had been lost for a long time, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Hey, where is Lord Xano?" ”
"I just went up to change my clothes, and I should be there right away."
Rose explained, and then he didn't know what he thought, and said with some emotion: "I haven't seen the captain for several months, and I don't know where he has been in the past few months, and whether his swordsmanship has improved." ”
Hearing this, the nearby Swift Wind Pirates cadres all nodded subconsciously, obviously having similar thoughts.
Compared with a year and a half ago, a fairly obvious difference between today's Wind Pirates is that Xia Nuo, as the captain of the ship, gradually turned more energy to his swordsmanship cultivation after taking over and forming the Wind Fleet, and left the management of the ship's affairs to Fuji Tiger and others, and became the shopkeeper himself.
Speaking of which, Fuji Tiger smiled, who was originally temporarily staying on the ship as a consultant, has already truly integrated into the Wind Pirates in the day-to-day relationship, and after the shocking battle on Cake Island, he officially accepted the position of deputy captain awarded by Xia Nuo, with his gentle and honest personality and strong personal strength, he has a very high prestige in the entire Wind Fleet, second only to Xia Nuo himself.
For these chores thrown by Xia Nuo, Fuji Hu is not too troublesome, plus with the help of these old people who were the first to get on the ship such as Derump Ivy, it can be said that they are handled in an orderly manner, even if Xia Nuo temporarily takes the initiative to ride Xiao Luo to leave the Wind for a while, and travel around for a while, he can still sit firmly in the town without a little fork.
And this time, it is precisely because of such a reliable uncle that Xia Nuo can leave directly for three or four months with confidence.
"It's a pity that the captain will only be able to stay on the ship for one day when he comes back this time, and he will leave for Marin Fanduo tomorrow morning."
Daniel, who was on the side, said with some regret: "Originally, I had some doubts about kendo recently, and no one could answer them, and I plan to take this opportunity to ask the captain for advice." ”
"Who isn't?"
Rose shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and sighed: "I have more problems, not only in the way of the sword, but also in terms of seeing and hearing, although last week Uncle Yixiao gave some pointers, but I am stupid and have not been able to figure it out, so I expect the captain to come back and personally guide it." ”
Hearing this, Fuji Hu on the right side of the main seat couldn't help scratching his head, revealing an embarrassed honest smile.
He is very happy to help these young people on the ship to progress and grow, but unfortunately he is not the kind of big swordsman who only walks to see after all, and ordinary swordsmen can usually instruct him, but Ross and Daniel are already swordsmen, and now the swordsmanship realm has improved a lot, and he really doesn't have much to do about the problems encountered in the cultivation of these two people.
