In early summer, the temperature in the East China Sea is not very high, so even at noon, the slight heat of the sun is dispelled by the sea breeze and the waves that sometimes stir up.

Flutter flutter flutter ~ In the sky, a black shadow suddenly flew by, and in the distance, it was a strange-looking seagull, with a wide wingspan, a sailor's hat on its head, and a green cloth bag full of newspapers hanging around its neck.

One of the creatures unique to the world of pirates, the News Bird.

After flying over a vast and uninhabited sea, the seagull flapped its wings, slowly swooped down, landed on the stern of the Barati restaurant, pecked hard at the railing next to it, then gathered its wings and waited silently.

It's so skillful that it's like a ...... It's the same every day.

And it was true, almost the moment the news bird landed, with a soft "squeak" sound, a little boy with blond hair and curly eyebrows walked out of the back door, threw a coin in his hand to it, and then pulled out a newspaper from the green cloth bag, opened it and walked back to the road.

"Ahh......h

The little guy with blonde hair and curly eyebrows was naturally Sanji, and after a cursory glance at the front page of the newspaper, he showed an expression that was not surprising, shook his head, and closed the newspaper with a bored face.

Since the opening of Bharati Restaurant, Zhepu ordered the newspaper for the first time, and in the past six months, Newsbird has delivered the newspaper on time every day, rain or shine, but most of the time, it is Sanji who takes the place of help, and after reading it himself, he gives it to Xia No or Zhepu.

Of course, Sanji is basically not very interested in the news in the newspaper, and the reason why he rushes to get the newspaper every time is just to see the serial comic published at the end of the GLP Northwest newspaper that he subscribed to earlier.

But since last week, with the end of a serialized manga that Sanji has been obsessed with, his enthusiasm for newspapers has been greatly reduced, and every time he buys a newspaper, he usually just browses the catalog to see if there is a new serialized manga to take over, and as a result, every time he gets an answer these days, it is disappointing.

Tread, tread, tread......

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor, coming from far and near from the depths, Sanji just looked up at the person, and handed over the newspaper with a mutter: "Oh, today's newspaper, the news bird just sent it, I took it for you." ”

"Well, okay, thanks."

The gentle and diluted voice sounded, and immediately I saw a figure in a dark blue sweatshirt gradually approaching in the corridor, from dark to light, facing the warm sun, the slender and powerful hands gently tugged, and the hood on the top of the head slipped silently, revealing a delicate face with black hair and black eyes.

It's Xano.

Compared with half a year ago, his body is obviously much stronger at this moment, and his height has risen by more than ten centimeters.

And the most eye-catching change is the back of his head, the long hair tied into a strand of light blue cloth, flicking his fingers for half a year, this bundle of black hair is close to the shoulder, whenever the sea breeze blows, a green silk is slightly swaying, adding a bit of elegance and maturity to Xia Nuo.

"Looks like something big is happening......"

After taking the newspaper handed by Sanji and glancing at the headline, Xia Nuo frowned slightly, but in the face of Sanji's curious gaze, he didn't say anything, but put away the newspaper first, and said lightly: "You go in first, the old man called you everywhere just now, it is estimated that there is something urgent, don't delay." ”

"Cut, Brother Xano, you're lying to me again."

Sanji glanced at him, pouted, and said, "If you don't want me to watch you practice swords, just say it, and you have to find a reason to find a better one." It's noon, it's just after dinner, and the dead old man should have gone to his room to sleep at this time, okay, how could there be something to find me? ”

"Are you sure?"

Xia Nuo squinted, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, today you were hiding from smoking on the third floor, and when you threw cigarette butts downstairs, it seemed that you just threw them on the old man's hat......"

“……”

Sanji immediately stayed where he was, and only after a long time did he raise his head in a daze, and said with a face full of disbelief: "You...... Have you seen them all? ”

"Ah, I did."

Xia Nuo stretched his waist and said casually, "Speaking of which, I only noticed yesterday that you little ghost actually began to learn to hide and smoke secretly, and I wanted to find a time to talk to you this morning, but it just happened to be such a thing, well, anyway, I guess the old man must be cleaning you up, and the effect is much better than my persuasion to die and persuade life, so I don't bother to look for you, just worry." ”

The expression on Sanji's face became stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched all the time, as if he wanted to squeeze out a difficult smile, but in the end it ended in failure, and after gritting his teeth, he raised his head suddenly, and a pair of pitiful eyes suddenly fell on Xia Nuo:

"Summer ...... Brother Xano, you'll help me, right? ”

"Fuck off, don't bother me, do you have any reason to learn to smoke at a young age? Besides, it just so happens that the old man is a little unhappy to see that I have spent a lot of money these days, and I don't want to go over and scold me. ”

After Xia Nuo waved his hand angrily, he directly ignored Sanji, who was in a petrified state, passed by, and lazily stepped on the sun, and came to the railing opposite.

"Don't put it off, you can have a good time if you go early, otherwise, I guess it won't be as simple as being beaten up by fat like the last time you burned down the kitchen."

didn't look back, before opening the newspaper, Xia Nuo lazily dropped such a sentence, and suddenly stabbed it in the desperate Shanzhi's heart......

……………………

The sunlight was slightly harsh, making the font on the newspaper look a little blurry. However, for Xia Nuo, who has been practicing kendo all year round and has made his eyesight extremely outstanding, this is nothing at all, he just chose to turn his back like an ordinary person, and used the shadow of the railing to block the sun, and he solved all this perfectly.

Fingers on the edge of the newspaper, with the slight flip of the fingertips, news and reports quickly flew by Xia Nuo's gaze:

"The Four Emperors Kaido went to the Whitebeard Pirates station alone, and after three days and three nights of fighting, he retreated......"

"The Navy warship renovation plan is advancing, and the ...... of sea-floor stone-bottomed warships may be promoted in the future"

"The robbery of Heavenly Gold surfaced two years ago, or it may be related to a certain current king, Qiwu Hai......"

………………

"Well, there's really a lot of big things going on......"

Xia Nuo's brows furrowed slightly, especially after seeing some familiar words between the lines, a trace of speculation and groaning appeared on his face.

But in general, the expression on his face did not fluctuate, after all, even if the news in these reports was related to some of the events in his impression and represented some important significance, it did not have much to do with him now. The big names mentioned here, and he who is still a nameless swordsman in the East China Sea, basically live in two different dimensional worlds.

At least, for the time being.

Then, when his eyes fell on the bottom of the fifth edition and saw the title clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and he saw his pupils shrink, his five fingers holding the newspaper tightened slightly, and a strange color appeared in his eyes:

"This guy finally came to the East China Sea......
