Chapter 563: Happy Encounter [First Update]
"Hahahaha, that's definitely not as good as him."
Hearing Lakilu's words, the redhead was not angry, but laughed:
"This kid is only twenty years old, and when I was his age, I was still a midshipman on Roger Boss's ship!"
"Oh, yes, Captain."
After chatting about Xia Nuo, Rakilu suddenly remembered something, scratched his hair and said:
"Among the slaves rescued this time, there are many who want to thank you in person and ask to leave with us, what are you going to do?"
"The ship of the Shanghai thief, it's really big-hearted."
The redhead shook his head with a smile, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Bring them over, as long as there are not too many people, it doesn't matter if you bring some." ”
"Yes, Captain."
Rakiru turned to leave, and a moment later he came to the bow deck with a group of men dressed as slaves in black and white striped prison uniforms.
There were about twenty or thirty of them, men and women, but most of them were young men, and when they saw the red hair sitting on the bumper, they fell to their knees and expressed their gratitude excitedly.
"My lord! Thank you for saving us! ”
A teenager who had one ear cut off kowtowed to his red hair several times in a row, crying bitterly:
"If it weren't for you, maybe I would have to be a slave to the Tianlong people for the rest of my life, and I would be living a life that is worse than death!"
"Just do it, you don't have to."
The redhead hurriedly got up, picked up the one-eared boy, and said with relief, "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the future." ”
He was about to support the rest of the group when he suddenly noticed that one of the slaves in the middle of the group did not kneel, but stood in place, looking at him dumbfounded.
It was a red-nosed clown wearing a tattered orange captain's hat and long blue hair, and I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, and the two lines of clear snot were dripping down and were about to drag to the ground......
“……”
The redhead was stunned for a moment, and the newspaper in his arm fell to the ground with a "click".
The two stared wide-eyed, you look at me, I look at you, and after a long and strange silence, they let out an exclamation of disbelief at the same time:
"Eh?????"
Redhead Shanks, Bucky the Clown.
These two trainee crew members, who were both on the One Piece Roger's ship, finally ushered in this long-lost reunion outside the Draco Manor, as the Four Emperors and prisoners respectively, outside the Draco Manor.
…………
Great shipping routes, a foggy remote sea.
Six huge pirate ships, cut into several pieces by unknown attacks, floated on the surface of the sea in pieces, and the pirates struggled with each other, and the sound of wailing and screaming could be heard everywhere.
"Is this the Seven Martial Seas?"
"Who's slashing sword qi?"
"What about the ship? Why are there no one? ”
……
On the tattered bow deck, an orangutan man with a moxican head and a shaggy hair shuddered, took off the captain's hat from his head and made his way to the cabin.
However, at this very moment.
"What are you...... Where are you going? ”
A low and calm voice sounded at this time, and the mohican orangutan man's pupils shrank, and he turned his head tremblingly, as if looking at a demon, looking up at the figure walking step by step.
It was a man in a burgundy patterned shirt, bearded, black top hat, and a broad cross-sword.
And the most eye-catching thing is his eagle-like sharp yellow eyes, just looking at each other unintentionally, can make people palpitate for a while, and feel an invisible sense of oppression.
"The world's No. 1 swordsman, Eagle ...... Hawkeye Mihawk! ”
The moxican-headed orangutan man trembled, gritted his teeth, and said angrily:
"It's been two years since I, the 'giant ape' Vegeta, came to the Great Voyage from the West Sea, and I have made a bounty of 100 million Baileys all the way, but I have never offended you, why do you want to kill me!"
It's something he hasn't figured out until now.
Half an hour ago, he was still happily eating barbecue and singing songs with his subordinates, and from a distance he saw a fool rowing hard with his sword in the fog, and laughing and making up ballads and clapping his hands to make fun of him.
But in a blink of an eye, when he was drunk, the six pirate ships under his command were suddenly cut in half at the same time.
The next moment, before he could wake up, he was horrified to find that the famous Hawkeye Mihawk had already boarded his ship and looked at him with a gaze like a dead man.
Does that make sense?
The Mohican orangutan man, who was in a half-drunk state, obviously didn't connect the big swordsman in front of him with the rowing figure before for a while.
“……”
Looking at the orangutan man lying on the ground with a sad and angry face, Mihawk was silent for a while, and only after a moment did he whisper:
"You don't need to know, just be a fool and go on the road with peace of mind."
Next moment.
The black knife swung and a streak of blood rose from the thick fog, and the corpse on the ground was cut in two.
After retracting the knife and sheathing it, Mihawk glanced at the pirates struggling and screaming in the sea, and shook his head slightly, he had no intention of killing, but jumped off the bow of the ship and returned to his coffin-like boat.
"Is the world's No. 1 swordsman......"
Mihawk sat on the ship, remembering the pirate captain he had just killed, and before he died, he called his own name, and his eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
He had been carrying this title for a long time, and for so many years, he had been quietly waiting for a junior swordsman to successfully take it away, but unfortunately he never succeeded.
It wasn't until the past few months, as Xano's movements in the New World became bigger and bigger, and after defeating the general Pheasant and the Beast Kaido, that the opportunity for transformation appeared.
Around the world, there have begun to be a lot of public opinion that the current world's number one swordsman should be the wind swordsman Xia Nuo.
There are even many swordsmen who have stepped into the great voyage, and the first goal they dream of challenging is no longer him, but Xia Nuo, who is now one of the Four Emperors.
That's normal.
After all, in the past few days, even the other Four Emperors BIGMOM has died at the hands of Xia Nuo.
And in the eyes of the outside world, although he is the undisputed number one in strength among the current king's Seven Martial Seas, there is still some gap between him and the four emperors.
Gossip, and so on.
However, when this kind of thing that would make ordinary people extremely annoyed befell him, Mihawk felt a little relieved instead of angry.
"That guy, I haven't seen him for a few years, is he already strong to this extent......"
Mihawk looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see through the thick dark clouds to see the new world on the other side of the Red Continent.
"It's time to meet him."
The title of the world's number one swordsman must have a recognized home after all.
Even if the record of defeating the two Four Emperors in a row was indeed a bit too appalling, but as a swordsman, it was naturally impossible for him to directly give up his name before the duel.
I haven't fought for nearly four years, and Mihawk is looking forward to Xia Nuo's kendo attainments now, while sighing slightly.
"Let's hope for a good showdown......
He muttered under his breath.
Pushed by the waves, the boat drifted away and sailed deeper into the fog.
