Chapter 098: A Transformation of Identity
With long and short hair, a scruffy beard, wearing a samurai kimono, and the appearance of being in his forties, it was actually a martial village who had not been separated from Xia Nuo for a long time, and when he saw Xia Nuo turn his head, the joy on his face could no longer be suppressed, and he laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's you!" Mr. Yasuo, I thought I was wrong! It's a coincidence that we met again so soon! ”
"Well, it's a coincidence."
Xia Nuo scratched his head, and just about to say something, Takemura on the boat shouted happily again: "How about it, Mr. Yasuo, do you want to come and sit down?" I haven't thanked you well before! ”
"This ......" Xia Nuo didn't mean it, but seeing that the other party had been there to greet him warmly, it was not easy to refuse, so after nodding to Takemura, he rowed his oars and leaned towards the side of the third boat.
In a blink of an eye, when Xia Nuo was waiting for something like a soft ladder rope to come down, the boat board in front of him suddenly made a buzzing sound, and a circular passage was immediately revealed, spacious and deep, six or seven meters wide, which was more than enough to accommodate a small boat like Xia Nuo to pass through.
"It feels a bit similar to the structure of the Sunshine Miles......"
This kind of boat setting is quite common in the pirate world, even in the Barati restaurant, and Xia no was not surprised except for being startled at first, so he put away the sails, paddled the oars, and drove the boat into the passage. However, Xiao Luo looked resistant, as if he didn't want to enter this narrow space, Xia Nuo was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly kicked it over and kicked it off the boat with the can of salted fish it was holding.
As the boat entered, the planks at the entrance to the passage slowly fell and closed again. And after docking the ship, it didn't take long for Xia no to follow the stairs at the bottom and all the way to the deck.
"Yasuo-sama, this way~~"
As soon as he stepped on the deck, the shout came from the left side, Xia Nuo turned around, but saw Takemura standing next to the railing leaning, waving his hand to himself with a smile on his face, Xia Nuo walked to him, only to find that Takemura's legs were in a thick cast, no wonder he was so enthusiastic before but he didn't move for a long time.
"Uncle Takemura!" As soon as he went to sea, he met the person he saved, and Xia Nuo was in a good mood, grinning and said, "I thought you would recuperate on GLP Island for a while, but I didn't expect to go to sea again so soon." ”
"Alas, the livelihood is forced, there is no way." Takemura smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Fortunately, the doctor said that the steel ball didn't hurt deep into the bones, as long as it didn't move vigorously, it would be fine in a few days, otherwise, I would have to get off the boat and return to Frost Moon Village in advance, where can I still be left here as a guard." ”
As soon as he was said this, Xia Nuo reacted, just now Wu Cun said that the dock passage under the boat would be opened, obviously with a lot of power, he suddenly became a little curious, and said while looking around: "Speaking of which, uncle, what is your position in the guard here, it seems that this caravan should be quite big, so many huge ships, it is estimated that they can be ranked in the entire East China Sea." ”
"The origin of the caravan is indeed not small, it belongs to the Drummond family, the top business family in the East China Sea, as for the following...... With the swordsmanship trained by his senior brother, he barely managed to get a position as a deputy captain in the escort team......" Speaking of this, he saw that Xia Nuo was a little surprised, and suddenly said with an embarrassed face: "Ahem, this is the general strength of the guards on the ship, and it is estimated that all of them are not enough for Mr. Yasuo to fight, otherwise, where can there be such a good thing." ”
"That's not what I meant." Xia Nuo coughed heavily, he was more embarrassed than Wu Cun at this moment, especially when he heard the latter sentence, it was rare for the old man to blush slightly, "Also, uncle, you don't need to call me Yasuo or anything, it sounds weird, just call me Xia Nuo." ”
"Xano?"
Wu Cun was stunned, and then said with a strange expression: "It's not Yasuo, what, is this your real name?" ”
"Well, my real name, Yasuo or something, it's just a code name used to kill pirates a few years ago." Xia Nuo nodded, he still trusted an uncle like Wucun with swordsman ethics, so he simply said it directly. Of course, this is also because he is confident enough in his own strength and is not afraid of causing any trouble.
At present, Xia Nuo's positioning is quite clear, taking the pirate bounty as an example, the tens of millions of pirates are basically a matter of one or two moves in his hands, and if it is converted to a naval rank, he estimates that he can fight with the rank of rear admiral of the headquarters with his physical skills alone.
Of course, because he hasn't comprehended domineering yet, there is basically no way to restrain the natural department, and he has to discount this kind of exception, but ...... The unlucky guy who has the ability of the natural department and has not yet reached the rank of general, it seems that he is only a smoking man when he rummages through the navy, right?
"Speaking of that Smoker, I don't know if he has come to Rogue Town to garrison now, it seems to be a little early, well, I guess he is still on the Great Voyage......"
Xia Nuo didn't realize that he had been drenched with Smoker's bird poop in the morning, and when he was secretly pondering, Wu Mura on the opposite side showed a trace of hesitation, pulled Xia Nuo aside, and asked in a low voice, "That...... After you left in the morning, do you know what happened at the port later? ”
"Huh?" Xia Nuo was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" ”
"The navy from Rogue Town arrived, took control of everyone in the port, asked everything before and after, and went to my clinic to interrogate me, but fortunately the leader was a young girl, and she didn't bother me much. Please be prepared for the next news......"
Takemura took a deep breath, looked directly into Xia Nuo's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from these circumstances, Xia Nuo, it is very likely that you are already wanted by the Navy......"
“……”
Xia Nuo was silent for a while, then yawned and laughed indifferently: "What did I think, uncle, you are talking about this, is this kind of thing a foregone conclusion soon after I killed the mouse guy?" No matter how reasonable it is, do you think they will let me go after slapping the Navy in the face? Don't worry, I expected it. ”
"That's right! Can...... But do you know that in this way, the name of justice that you have worked so hard to save in the past three years will be gone! ”
Seeing Xia Nuo's attitude, Wu Cun became more angry than him, and said excitedly: "And the navy will no longer default to you being the strongest pirate hunter in the East China Sea, and even for the sake of their own face, they will manipulate public opinion to discredit you!" Make you a real villain that everyone shouts and beats! ”
