Fruit of memory.

This is the most special type of Devil Fruit in Xia Nuo's memory.

Not only can the capable person easily read the memories of others, but even after a little development, they can also delete and modify the memory.

This is an ability to think carefully and be extremely frightened, in fact, Xia Nuo has always believed that all the fruits that involve the soul mind are quite terrifying, and can really correspond to the word "demon".

When used correctly, it can do an unimaginable role.

"I'm going to keep this one for now."

After thinking about it, he put the wooden box away first, and then swept his gaze over the rest of the Devil Fruits:

"As for the remaining seven, as well as the candle fruits sent by the Jerma Kingdom before, they can be distributed as rewards to the cadres who have performed well in these two wars."

Kira and the others naturally had no opinion.

Most of them were the first crew members to board the ship, and they were also the core high-level leaders of the Tempest Fleet, most of them were already Devil Fruit Abilities, and the rest of them would have already gotten them if they really wanted to become Capable Ones, so they didn't need to worry about the current ones at all.

Considering that the scale of the Tempest Fleet is getting bigger and bigger, and in order to control the Totland Sea in the future, there will be a wave of expansion, and these few Devil Fruits that are not too top-notch are used as rewards to cultivate a group of middle-level forces, which is quite a good choice.

"Let's look a little more and see if there are any other useful things besides these Devil Fruits."

After handing over the extra Devil Fruit to Kira for safekeeping, Xia no commanded.

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone responded and began to disperse, searching for this huge treasure house from different directions.

I have to say that the types of treasures stored in this treasure house are quite rich.

In addition to the Devil Fruits, the cadres of the Storm Pirates have found a lot of good things in the piles of gold and silver treasures, such as permanent pointers to a large number of New World islands, bio-electric wave emitters that can control slugs in the depths, and several swords with at least the quality of a good sword......

And the most valuable, without a doubt, are three huge stone tablets side by side.

"This should be the text of history."

Everyone gathered, looking at the dense ancient text on it, baby-5 said softly:

"According to the information collected on the dark web before, two of the three pieces in BIGMOM's hand are purely the text of a blank 100-year history, and the other piece is the text of the road sign pointing to the final island of Lovedrew."

"Road Signpost Body ......"

Xia Nuo groaned, according to the impression of his previous life, he vaguely remembered that there were a total of four road signs in the world, of which BIGMOM and Kaido were each in charge.

The remaining two pieces, one of Zou, are in the hands of the Kogetsu clan of Wano Country, while the other was originally on Fish-Man Island, but it disappeared many years ago and no one has seen it again.

"Strange ......"

He looked at these stone tablets covered with esoteric and unspeakable words, and suddenly frowned slightly.

It was obviously the first time he had seen these historical texts with his own eyes, but for some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had been exposed to these things many years ago......

This subtle feeling came and went quickly, and it was gone in an instant, and Xia Nuo's expression returned to normal, and his eyes narrowly glanced at the three stone tablets one last time.

"Let's stay here for the time being, anyway, no one in this world can decipher it."

After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and ordered, "But just in case, I will have two more copies printed later." ”

"Yes."

The cadres behind him nodded, and Xia Nuo, who turned to leave the treasure house, was in a state of mind for a while when he walked in the aisle of the castle in the moonlight.

Speaking of which, he didn't have much interest in what was recorded in the historical text or in collecting the four pieces of the road sign to Ralphdrew.

Rather than spend time studying these, he would rather practice more swords by himself and move towards a higher depth of kendo.

But now, everything is different.

Although the inexplicable familiarity seemed a little ethereal, as if it were an illusion, it successfully piqued Charno's interest, and he had to start thinking about cracking the historical text.

"It seems that apart from O'Hara's scholars, I have never heard of anyone else who can understand the text of history......

His eyes flickered slightly, and he fell into deep thought, "Are you really going to go to Alabastan and get Robin from the hands of that sand crocodile guy......"

Let's go back and see.

He couldn't help but shake his head at the thought of all the troubles that had arisen since the recent occupation of the Totland Seas, the new territory needed time to settle down, at least not in the near future.

…………

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of days later, the year 1517 of the Haiyuan calendar came to an end, entering the first month of 1518.

After these days of care, the waters of Totland are gradually back on track, and the situation has basically stabilized.

Especially when the tax collection day at the end of the month came, the Wind Pirates fulfilled their previous promise, and indeed only collected about forty percent of the tax during the Wanguo period.

The people on the thirty-four islands finally let go of the last bit of worry and vigilance in their hearts, and began to regard the current Four Emperors Xia Nuo as a rare master, and sincerely obeyed and became the subjects of his subordinates.

The title of [Wanguo] has also been canceled, and the original name of the Totland Sea has been restored, and Cake Island, which is the core area, has also been determined to become the base camp of the Wind Pirates, and officially renamed [Wind Island].

This name was taken casually by Xia Nuo, although the old crew members felt that it was a little too ordinary to highlight the domineering of the Four Emperors, but everyone was named and wasted, and they thought about it for a long time with a bitter face, and they couldn't come up with a better name, so they could only acquiesce.

And the next morning after the name was decided.

On the island of the Wind, where it snowed heavily overnight, there was snow everywhere, and it was a scene covered in snow.

The sea was even more foggy, and the chill enveloped the harbor, making Beibo, who was fishing on the pier, shiver violently.

"Ahh

It sneezed, wiped the tip of its nose that was a little red from the cold with its furry bear paws, and muttered:

"Fortunately, I'm a fur clan, and I can resist the cold without adding clothes, but I'm so sleepy, if the fish doesn't come up yet, I'll have to go back to make up for sleep......"

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a lonely figure faintly appeared on the sea in the distance.

"Huh?"

Bebo looked up blankly, looking at the figure coming from the thick fog, and when the distance was much closer, it noticed that the other party was actually standing on the small boat like a coffin board, and let the current push it towards the shore.

"Good...... It's amazing......"

Its dark bear eyes lit up, and it was full of surprise: "You don't need to carry oars to sail on the sea with such a small boat......

As he spoke, the boat had already reached the front, and a middle-aged man in a burgundy shirt and top hat jumped up from the boat and landed firmly on the pier.

"This little brother...... Bear. ”

After seeing the face of Bei Bo, who was fishing at the dock, the corner of Hawkeye Mihawk's eyes twitched without a trace, and he held back the salutation, and said directly in a low voice:

"Excuse me, can you help me call your captain?"

…………

"Hawkeye is here?"

In the castle, Xia Nuo, who had just finished breakfast, was slightly stunned after listening to the report of Luo who was standing in front of him.

"Yes, the master."

Luo's spirit was a little sluggish, and he didn't seem to have slept well, so he said weakly:

"It was the guy Bebo who found him, this guy was fishing at the docks, and Hawkeye told him to tell you, and the stupid bear ran to my house and carried me from the bed to the port."

“……”

Everyone around the table was silent for a few seconds, and Xia Nuo glanced at Luo sympathetically, "Then you will go back to sleep later, what about Hawkeye?" ”

"I'm still waiting at the port, it's snowing outside, and I didn't respond when I asked him to meet inside the castle, saying that I just wanted to see you alone."

After saying this, Luo turned around and walked towards the door, waved his hand and said, "Then the master, I'll go back to make up for sleep first." ”

"Go ahead."

Xia Nuo nodded, and after seeing Luo leave, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the sword leaning against the table, and slowly stood up.

"Do you want us to come along, Captain?"

At the dining table, the crew members of the Wind Pirates who were eating together all cast inquiring glances.

"No, you don't."

He smiled and shook his head, "I can probably guess what Hawkeye meant, since that guy only wants to see me by name, then I'll go alone." ”

With that, he left the table and, under the gaze of everyone, took Ranche in his hand and stepped into the snowy sky outside the castle.

"Hawkeye must be looking for the captain to learn swordsmanship......"

Looking at the wind and snow outside, Daniel was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and counted with his fingers, "It seems that the last time was in the first half of the Great Voyage, and they haven't seen each other for four years." ”

"This battle should be the battle that will determine the attribution of the world's number one swordsman."

Rose, who was sitting opposite, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and suddenly got up and said, "No, such a meaningful battle, as a swordsman, how can you not witness it with your own eyes!" ”

"Huh?"

Daniel was stunned and said, "But the captain said that we don't need to go with him." ”

"That's not necessary, and it's not allowed!"

Rose glared at him, and said hatefully: "Don't talk nonsense, you just say whether you want to see it or not, do you want to go?" ”

How could it be that you don't want to go?

Daniel's mind didn't turn for a while, in fact, as a swordsman, he was as full of anticipation and curiosity about this battle as Rose, so he immediately put down the utensils and hurriedly chased after Rose.

"These two guys, I know ......"

Looking at the long-term backs of the two swordsmen on the ship, Boatswain Dramp shook his head helplessly, then looked at his companions around him, and asked with a smile:

"Well, the captain is not sure, should we go over and have a look, just keep our distance and don't disturb them."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of tables and chairs dragging had already sounded, and in a blink of an eye, he was the only one left next to the big dining table.

“……”

Rump watched in amazement as the crowd scrambled to run out, and after a few seconds he came to his senses, got up and left the table, and ran out of the castle:

"Hey, you're waiting for me, little bastards!"
