New World, Ice Peach Island, inside the castle lord's residence.

Outside the window, the night was dark and the stars were clear, and Xia Nuo sat cross-legged behind the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the shore in the distance, as if thinking about something.

He naturally didn't know anything about the sensation he had caused in the world after defeating Jones a few days ago, in fact, he had been concentrating on cultivation in this tall city lord's villa for the past few days.

After taking the oath in Theater Square that day, the crew of the Storm Pirates swept away the remnants of Jonst's forces and took possession of the mansion of the lord of Notda, where they found a mountain of treasures.

Most of these were the ill-gotten gains that Jones had forcibly looted when he occupied Ice Peach Island, and Xia Nuo did not pocket all of them, but let the residents of Ice Peach Island come to claim them on their own.

Of course, this claim is not without supervision measures, after all, among the ordinary people of any country, although there are few big traitors, but those who want to take advantage of small means are by no means a small number.

And the solution is quite simple - just let the Senate send someone to watch.

Speaking of which, before Jonst's arrival, Peach Island had always been a somewhat democratic commercial town, with a senatorial parliamentary system.

The members of the Senate were basically elders of great prestige among the people, who had led the people from poverty to prosperity, but after the Jonster dictatorship came to power, it gradually declined, and today it is completely empty.

Therefore, the first thing that Chano did after completing the sweep and reception of Jonster's forces was to reconvene the Senate, showing that he had no interest in taking over the so-called position of city lord, and putting power back in the hands of these locals.

This move made the local residents, who were still a little worried after the end of the conflict in the theater, suddenly relieved, and at the same time full of gratitude to Xia Nuo, and even took the initiative to send a representative after a private consultation, asking Xia Nuo to take Bing Peach Island under his banner.

This request actually meant something else - although Jonest's death meant the return of freedom, to a certain extent, it also represented the loss of a flag that could shelter them.

Therefore, it has become a top priority to find a force that can be relied on, and in this case, as one of the king's seven martial seas, and a person who is far more honest and reliable than Jones, Xia Nuo naturally became the best candidate.

Xia Nuo also understands the twists and turns, Mermaid Island is a similar example, but when the people's representatives proposed that they would pay 20% of their annual income as a tax, Xia Nuo decisively refused.

He has no interest in money.

As long as the basic daily needs can be met, then the rest is nothing more than waste paper, especially now that after extorting the navy several times in a row, the remaining wealth of the Wind Pirates is enough to use for several years, so no matter how much tax revenue on Peach Island is, it can only be the icing on the cake, and it is basically meaningless.

This attitude made the elders of the Senate sigh with emotion, you must know that during the previous reign of Jones, a full fifty percent of the tax had to be collected, which was not counting the harvest that he directly snatched when he saw it on weekdays, compared to it, Xia Nuo could not be described as a good man, just like a saint.

But the fact that they didn't take the money didn't mean they couldn't express their gratitude in other ways, not only did the best boatmen on the island come to refine the Tempest, but the growers also prepared a large number of fine ice peaches and sent them to the ship's storage room.

Even the shop owners in the shopping street also took action, and those who delivered clothes gave clothes, those who delivered bento boxes, and even some young half-sized men approached the cadres of the Wind Pirates with reverence and asked to become a member of the Wind Pirates.

Of course, the latter was politely rejected by Xia Nuo on the spot, a place like New World is really not something that can be broken through with a single youthful blood, and letting these little guys who are just stronger than ordinary people join is almost equivalent to sending them to death.

So.

In this atmosphere, Xia Nuo asked the Senate to help distribute the stolen goods in the Jonster Mansion, and the other party naturally could not refuse, and even some elders in their seventies and eighties personally ran to the scene to supervise, staring at it to see if any stinky boy dared to run to take advantage and lose face in front of Lord Xia Nuo.

The effect of this can be described as immediate, and in less than a day, all the stolen goods that Jones has looted over the years have basically returned to the original owner.

And there are still many unclaimed ones of unknown origin, Xia Nuo originally planned to transfer them to the Senate for safekeeping, but was sternly rejected by those stubborn old men, so he had no choice but to cash in and leave them as a reserve for the ship's expenses, and threw them into the ship's storage room.

After solving these problems, in the next few days, Xia no did not rush to leave with the crew, but took the group to live in Jonest's mansion manor, where they temporarily rested for a while.

Xia Nuo picked the largest room on the top floor of the main building, this is not that he chose bed fetish or something, but next door to this room, is a large training room covering an area of thousands of square meters, in which all kinds of hidden mechanisms are hidden, and countless hidden weapons fly in with a light press of the mechanism, which seems to be used by Jones in order to temper his speed.

For Xia Nuo, this is naturally perfect for cultivating the domineering spirit, and he is overjoyed to see that he has been immersed in this large cultivation room for almost all the time in the past few days.

From entering at five o'clock in the morning every morning to ending at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, except for a brief meal time, Xia Nuo really did not go out of the door, this style is faint, but it is similar to some dead fat houses in the previous life who held their mobile phones and smirked every day.

However, it was a little different from when he was on the ship before, this time Xia Nuo clearly felt that except for himself, the rest of the crew was also looking at him, desperately trying to practice, and several training rooms in the manor were almost all occupied, and even the early morning garden could see the figure of people who got up early to exercise.

For example, now, tomorrow and tomorrow will be dark like this, and in the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window, you can still see two figures fighting there, and from time to time there is a sound of explosion and breaking wind, obviously fighting quite seriously.

One of them had a red exploding head and large goggles, the other with a messy yellow hair, and two scythes attached to their wrists, which were quite recognizable even from this distance.

It was Kidd and Kira.

"These two boys ......"

After watching for a while, Xia Nuo saw that the two of them had not stopped interested, shook his head slightly with a smile, and didn't bother to watch anymore, jumped off the windowsill, and returned to the bed to prepare to rest.

Speaking of which, since he fainted on the spot that day when he was punched and hammered by Jones in a rage because of his sarcastic remarks, Kidd woke up like a different person.

Not only is he no longer a slugger and a broken mouth, but he has become a little taciturn, and has been practicing quietly from morning to night for a few days, and from time to time he will pull the rest of the cadres in the regiment for sparring, even if he is full of bags by Daz Hammer, he has never given up halfway.

This appearance of being obviously stimulated and wanting to be angry made Xia Nuo feel relieved and a little worried...... Kidd, the little ghost, had a miserable childhood, and learned to kill and take revenge with his own hands at a young age, and his anger was amazing, until he met Xia Nuo and got along for so long.

Therefore, Xia Nuo would rather this little guy always maintain his usual somewhat funny appearance, rather than his psychology distorted again and develop into the murderous monster supernova in the original timeline.

But......

Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly, with his own care and protection, this kid should not become so extreme, as long as his momentum slows down, or his strength advances to the point where he is strong enough to take charge of himself, his personality will naturally slowly return to his previous normal state.

Shaking his head again, driving away the rest of the distractions in his heart, Xia Nuo took off his shoes and went to bed with a tired face, and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly turned over and sat up, turned his head to look out the window, and a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he obviously didn't deliberately investigate, but he could clearly sense the traces of the two people in the garden outside, and even their every move, including the angle and direction of the move, and the timing of the dodge, could be felt clearly, as if it was happening in front of him!

"Seeing and Hearing ......"

After coming back to his senses, Xia Nuo subconsciously whispered, and a ray of surprise appeared in his eyes - could it be that after these days of special training and penance, his own knowledge and knowledge finally broke through a key bottleneck and came to a higher realm?

In order to test this suspicion, he closed his eyes slightly, and tried his best to probe the situation around him with what he saw and heard, and continued to extend farther away.

After such an investigation, Xia Nuo found that his perception range had been able to spread to the entire manor, and he could ignore the walls, and even a little black dog outside the manor could "hear" it clearly.

It seems that it is really a breakthrough!

Xia Nuo couldn't help but clench his fists, and his face showed excitement for the first time in a long time - this breakthrough is too critical, especially in terms of seeing and hearing, which undoubtedly means that he can take out another killer weapon in actual combat in the future!

After calming down, Xia Nuo thought about it, opened the attribute panel, directly skipped the data in front of him, and looked towards the final skill bar, and sure enough, he found that the column of seeing and hearing inside had changed, from "advanced control" to "perfect control".

"Most of the strong people in this world should be inferior to me now......"

After turning off the attribute panel, Xia Nuo lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking darkly.

This thought was not a presumptuous remark by which he was momentarily overwhelmed by excitement, but a conclusion he had judged based on an ideal analysis.

After all, unlike the armed color domineering that requires Xia Nuo to work hard to improve slowly, he has been immersed in kendo since he was a child, and he has shown an extremely amazing talent as soon as he sees and hears the color when he practices.

In the past, his knowledge was already not weaker than enemies of the level of Doflamingo and Saint White Wolf Jones, so now after breaking through to the perfect realm, he is naturally no less than the top powerhouse at the level of the Four Emperors of the Great General.

And the few who are stronger than him are only specialized perverts like Katakuri, who can predict the future to the extent that they can briefly predict the future...... Xia Nuo thinks that he is far inferior, but the current perfect control is not actually his limit in his opinion.

As long as you continue to maintain your training and cultivation, accumulate and improve, and break through again in the future, you may not be able to have the ability to predict the future, which is almost perverted......
