Hawkeye eventually returned.

Not for drinking, but because his little broken ship was still in the harbor of the Isle of Winds, and he had to go over and get it.

After seeing Hawkeye leave, Xia no went to the highest point of the Isle of Winds alone, sat quietly on the boulder, looking at the snow, stunned.

Although the snow was tight, there was a colorless and invisible breeze around him, so that before the snowflakes could fall on his shoulders, they turned into a vast mist and quietly dispersed.

"Eleven years ......"

I don't know how long it took for Xia Nuo to rub the hilt of Arashi's sword and muttered in a low voice.

This is the eleventh year since he came to this world and began to practice kendo, and all the things of that year are still reflected in his heart, as if it was a thought, this is like the years of water, and it will fly away quietly, leaving no trace.

That year.

A handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, led by an old man with a broken leg, left his hometown of Xiangcheng Town and embarked on a journey to the unknown world.

That day.

In the twilight, the slightly drunk boy held his wooden sword tightly in the vast sea, and swore to the sunset word by word that one day, he would become the number one swordsman in the world.

The sound was very loud, resounding on the vast sea, and the white seagulls were alarmed and flew away.

Thereafter.

The sunset never remembered his words, but the boy never dared to forget the sunset of that day.

He had been desperately running towards the dream that seemed out of reach, as if a beast was chasing him behind him.

From Su Zhen's sweat like rain, to the penance and enlightenment during zazen, from the nervousness when he killed for the first time, to the awe-inspiring fearlessness when he faced the Four Emperors later.

The hellish training and torture have not changed the ambition of the young man, and the hideous and terrifying strong enemies from all walks of life have not cut off the path of the boy's rise.

Until today.

After eight years, in this snowstorm, the handsome black-haired boy finally got his wish.

The so-called way of the sword hero, when he is willing to fall into the hell of evil ghosts, suffer a lot, and never get tired.

There was a sudden sound of rustling in the rear, which woke up Xia Nuo, who was surging in his thoughts, and he looked back, but it was Xiao Luo who touched the cliff at some point, and the thief was approaching this side.

"Come here."

Xia Nuo beckoned, waited until Xiao Luo arrived, stroked its furry head, was quiet for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "You have been with me for almost eight years, when you came out of the egg, how picky you are, who knows that one day you will grow so big." ”

He sighed slightly.

"Let's go, show me around."

Xiao Luo let out an excited eagle chirp, Xia Nuo turned over, one person and one eagle, turned into a black streamer, like a frightened rainbow, rising into the sky.

"Hahahaha!"

Above the sky, the afterimage flickered, and in the snow, suddenly, there was a wanton laugh that Xia Nuo hadn't had for a long time.

Heroic and surging, loud and shouting!

When Xiao Luo first took him to the sky, he was a hairy little ghost who had just come of age, killed the colonel of the branch in public, and laughed and drifted away in the angry pursuit of the navy.

And now.

He is the world's number one swordsman, patrolling the huge territory of 34 islands under his command, and the name of the Four Emperors is already powerful in the world, and the sound is shaking all over the world!

The white clouds and dogs, the years are long, and everything has long been different.

Only the original intention has not changed, and the laughter is still the same.

…………

One month, two months, six months...... In the blink of an eye, two years passed suddenly.

After defeating Hawkeye Mihawk and becoming recognized as the world's number one swordsman, the Four Emperors Wind Sword Hao Xia Nuo did not continue to make much trouble, but focused on taking care of the territory under his rule.

This made many pirates who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic a little disappointed, they originally thought that with the accumulation of grievances with the Hundred Beast Pirates, the new world would definitely be turned upside down because of Xia Nuo's accession to the throne of the Four Emperors, setting off a bigger storm.

However.

The Navy Headquarters, which has been closely monitoring the movements of the new world, is in a completely different state of mind.

The situation they wanted to see was not due to the over-expansion of the Wind Pirates and the situation of making enemies everywhere, but instead they saw an incredibly low-key, low-key, steady and steady fight, and the more this happened, the more solemn the faces of the navy's top brass became.

For two whole years.

The situation in the waters of Totland gradually stabilized as a rock, and the restraint and management of the pirates under his subordinates, as well as the appropriate and reasonable tax policy, made all the people of the 34 islands return to Xano, which is in stark contrast to the past rule of the Charlotte family.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and the entire territory of the Four Emperors is a prosperous and thriving scene.

And the scale of the Tempest Fleet is also constantly expanding, and the defectors who come here, and the teenagers who have volunteered to join the territory under their command, even if most of them have been screened out during the inspection period, they still can't withstand the huge base.

The headquarters of the Wind Pirates is still the thirty-seven people, and there has been no change in the slightest, but the number of subordinate pirates has changed from the original nine to a full forty-five.

There are more than 50,000 peripheral troops, thousands of elite combat forces, and hundreds of middle-level cadres who can take charge on their own......

If it is said that two years ago, because Xia Nuo had just ascended the throne of the Four Emperors, there was an obvious gap in scale and quality between Xia Nuo and the other forces under the command of the old Four Emperors.

Then after two years of development, the Imperial Order under Xia Nuo has become one of the most terrifying top forces in this world, even compared to any other Imperial Order in the New World, it is not far behind!

As for Xia no himself.

Few people are fortunate enough to see this Four Emperors powerhouse go all out, but whether it is the headquarters cadres of the Storm Pirates or the ordinary residents of the island, they can often see him practicing hard in the past two years.

Or sit in meditation and enlightenment in the vast snow, or tread the waves in the pouring rain, or wield the most simple and unpretentious basic swordsmanship in the afterglow of the sunset......

No one knows how much stronger his strength realm is compared to two years ago, and no one dares to guess what it looks like on the other side of the kendo after becoming the world's number one swordsman.

This year is the year 1520 of the Sea Yuan calendar, and it is also the year since the previous generation of One Piece King Gor. After the death of D. Roger, the twenty-second year of the era of pirates began.

The pattern of the new world was re-fixed, but the first half of the great voyage was turbulent, and a large number of vicious newcomers emerged, each of whom made a name for himself.

And in such a turbulent era, few people will notice.

A straw hat boy with short black hair and a penchant for wearing red shoulders finally waited for the day of adulthood and set sail from the East China Sea, the hometown of Xia Nuo, one of the Four Emperors, and embarked on the first step on his road to pursue his dream of One Piece.
