Chapter 397: Foil Bista
"It's not a question of whether to rush or not!"
After listening to Xia Nuo's words, Alan hurriedly explained: "It's really our attitude is wrong, you are a benefactor who has helped our Whitebeard Pirates a lot, even Dad has specially instructed you to treat you politely if you meet, but I ...... just now"
"Huh?"
Xia Nuo only realized now, looking at Alan with a guilty face in front of him, he was a little surprised in his heart - the fact that he had rescued the reserve medical team of the Whitebeard Pirates three months ago had spread throughout the Whitebeard Pirates now?
"Alan, the captain is here!"
Just as he was thinking of this, a shout suddenly came from the city gate not far away, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the team member who had been sent to report the news just now had turned back, and behind him, there was a tall figure of more than three meters, who was squinting slightly.
The man, who looked to be in his early forties, was already the age of an uncle, with a striking curved beard, a top hat, a large blue-purple cloak behind him, and two broad swords hanging from his waist.
It is the captain of the fifth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the great sword hero Bista, known as the "foil".
After noticing Xia Nuo in the middle of the crowd, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then he hurriedly strode over to this side, and enthusiastically stretched out a big hand towards Xia Nuo:
"Hahaha, you're Your Excellency Xia Nuo, the Wind Sword, right? I'm Bista, the captain of the fifth team, so please take care of me when we meet for the first time! ”
Xia Nuo stretched out his hand and shook him heavily, and after parting, he looked at the familiar appearance in front of him, and chuckled:
"You're welcome, Lord Bista, let you make a trip yourself."
"Where, Your Excellency is a person who has been kind to our pirates, and since he has come to our territory, he naturally has to treat him well."
Bista laughed heartily: "It's not very convenient to talk here, you shouldn't have lunch yet, why don't you have a treat from me, go to a restaurant in the city, and have a good drink?" ”
"It's okay, then I'll bother Your Excellency." Xia Nuo thought for a moment, and quickly smiled and agreed.
The Wind Pirates didn't have anything to do with coming to Frost Island this time, and there was no need to rush to purchase supplies, so Xia Nuo didn't hesitate much about this invitation, and he was also quite interested in Bista, a great swordsman who had been famous for a long time.
After all, the other party is one of the most famous captains of Whitebeard's swordsmanship, and in the top war of the original timeline, Hawkeye Mihawk, who is the world's number one swordsman, also fought against him, and his evaluation is not low.
Accompanied by Bista, the group entered the city gate unimpeded, and after passing through several busy streets, they came to a barbecue restaurant with several floors high.
The owner of this restaurant is an old friend of Bista, and instead of the slightest fear of this large group of pirates swarming into the store, he took the initiative to come up to prepare tea, and easily and naturally talked to Bistasiano and others, and after a while he determined all the dishes needed, and after feeling the amount of food that everyone ate, he turned back to the back kitchen with a smile and told the chef to prepare.
Xia Nuo noticed this subtle scene, remembering that when he was walking through the street just now, passers-by, men, women, and children, all saw Bista greeted him warmly, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his eyes thoughtful.
Sure enough, as pirates, at the level of the Four Emperors, they are not so much raiders who roam the sea, but rather the ruling class that has stepped into the world, and in the face of the islands under their rule, the methods they adopt are by no means comparable to ordinary pirates.
The BIGMOM Pirates chose to take family blood as the core, establish all countries, and rule all their territories with a strict hierarchy, while the Hundred Beast Pirates were more simple and rude, using absolute strength to suppress the people below, and in contrast, the Whitebeard Pirates, as the head of the Four Emperors, were obviously much more clever in this regard.
Pay attention to public opinion, create a bold and amiable self-image, treat the people warmly, and charge high royalties to the rest of the pirates......
This may just be because the style has always been like this, or it may have other purpose considerations, but there is no doubt that all this makes the Whitebeard Pirates have a reputation far better than that of the other Four Emperors among many people in the New World, and it also makes the management of such a vast territory easier and simpler.
And this is also one of the reasons why the Whitebeard Pirates are regarded as the biggest threat to the sea by the Navy Headquarters and even the entire world government, in addition to the strength factor.
Of course.
Putting these aside, many cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates are still worth socializing with in terms of personality, and the captain of the fifth team in front of him, Foil Bista, is obviously one of them, just like Harta.
Bista gave Xia Nuo a bit like Jinping, thick and fine, very appetizing, and the former also had a certain feeling of sympathy for each other between swordsmen, so the two chatted while eating barbecue, and soon became acquainted.
From Bista's mouth, Xia Nuo was somewhat surprised to learn that the group of reserve medical troops he had saved had played a huge role in rushing to the frontal battlefield, allowing at least hundreds of wounded on the Whitebeard Pirates' side to receive timely treatment and avoid further deterioration of their injuries.
Even when Marco personally treated Whitebeard's injuries after the war, these rescued medical personnel also played a certain auxiliary role.
And the words that Whitebeard said when all the crew members of the headquarters gathered finally reached Xia Nuo's ears at this moment.
"I said that after I defeated Drought Jack, there was no movement on Kaido's side......"
Xia Nuo put down the wine glass in his hand and chuckled at Bista: "It turns out that there is such a thing, next time you go back to the headquarters, remember to help me thank your father, I understand his protection." ”
"Okay, I'll bring it by all means." Bista touched his mustache and said with a slightly drunken smile: "But seriously, Lord Xiano, don't you really consider Daddy's invitation, the captain of our second team, but it's still vacant." ”
"Well...... this"
Xia Nuo shook his head slightly, it was impossible for him to leave the Wind Pirates he had founded, and he had no idea of being a son to others, so he smiled apologetically, "My companions need me, and I need them, so I don't have any thoughts about this matter for the time being." ”
"Ah, that's a shame......"
Bista was a little regretful, but the other party had already made it clear that he couldn't persuade him to say anything, so he could only raise his glass and make a toast with Xia Nuo.
Let Xia Nuo become the captain of the second team, many people in other teams may feel unconvinced, but if Xia Nuo agrees, they can only accept it silently for the sake of his father's face.
And Bista is different, he really thinks that Xia Nuo can be worthy of this position, the intuition between swordsmen is often the most sensitive, after close contact now, he can vaguely perceive that the other party's swordsmanship realm is probably even higher than he imagined, and he is definitely the top swordsman in the world today.
If such a strong man can be allowed to join his father's command, then the strength of their Whitebeard Pirates will undoubtedly increase a lot, and the loss of high-level combat power caused by the previous wars can also be compensated to a certain extent.
