"By the way, what about Daz?"

Noticing the embarrassed look of Fuji Hu, Daniel scratched his head and hurriedly opened the topic: "It's strange, I saw him come back a few days ago, why didn't he come to the meeting now?" ”

"The task assigned to him by the captain has not been completed, and it is estimated that he has gone out again, and he has to drift outside for a while, and he can't come back for the time being." Facing the Fuji Tiger, the boatswain Drampuhaha, who was sitting on the left hand side of the main seat, said with a smile: "Hey, this is a troublesome job after all, and you have to think about it in the long run, and you can't finish it for a while." ”

"No wonder."

Daniel reacted to being mentioned like this, and the rest of the people present also remembered this stubble and showed a sudden look.

Today's Xia Nuo, in addition to the Wind Pirates, there are also three major pirate groups under the Wind Fleet.

In chronological order of joining, they are the Giant Pirates who joined a year and a half ago, the Red Heart Pirates who joined a year ago, and the Handsome Pirates who joined more than seven months ago, which can be said to be quite strong.

But these are only superficial strengths after all, as for the backdrop, as for the back, as for the back, as early as a few months ago, Daz, who was most trusted by Xia Nuo, had already begun to form an underground intelligence force hidden in the shadows under the latter's instructions.

And this is what Rump just said about the "troublesome work".

This is undoubtedly a rather difficult task, but as the Wind Pirates are getting deeper and deeper in the New World, and their status and fame are rising, the construction of intelligence networks has become more and more important, and has even become an indispensable event.

This is common to any major force in the world, not to mention the world government with a large number of spy agencies, even the Navy Headquarters has its own independent intelligence force, and the Four Emperor Pirates of the New World have also put a lot of effort into this.

It is precisely because of this, out of consideration of the difficulty of the mission, in addition to Daz, Monet, the Snow Girl of the Wind Pirates, and Baby-5 are also involved in the construction of this intelligence network, and they are also busy running around at the moment, and they are also not on the ship.

As for the specific progress so far...... This was always reported by Daz Bonis to Xia Nuo himself, who was in charge of the real-time situation, and even the rest of the Tempest Fleet did not know much about it.

……

Squeak.

While everyone was chatting, the wooden door of the large conference room was suddenly pushed open again.

The dim light came through, and a majestic and slender figure appeared in the doorway.

The sound in the conference room suddenly stopped, and everyone looked up at the sound and saw the familiar figure at the door, their eyes suddenly widened, and they subconsciously stood up:

"Captain!"

"Lord Xano!"

"Your Excellency, you're finally here!"

……

Different titles sounded at the same time, but no matter what they were called, these voices were full of surprise and full of admiration and trust.

And in the entire Tempest Fleet, there is only one person who can make all the cadres lose their temper like this.

"Long time no see, guys."

The visitor at the door closed the door casually, turned around, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he couldn't help but smile.

He was wearing a black sweatshirt, a hood, and an antique long sword pinned to his waist, which was none other than Xia Nuo.

Compared with a year and a half ago, his appearance has changed quite significantly, his face has completely faded from the remnants of the youth, and there is a beard on his chin that has not been shaved for a long time, which makes his already delicate and handsome appearance add a bit of mature charm.

And his figure has also changed over the years, his height has increased from the original 1.95 meters to about 2.08 meters, and Lan Che, who was originally difficult to wear because the blade was too long, looks quite good when hanging on his waist at the moment.

However, the most obvious change is the temperament on the body.

At the beginning, Xia Nuo, after stepping into the new world, has experienced many battles of life and death, and has initially awakened the domineering spirit of the overlord, the sword intent on his body can be said to be sharp and sharp, even inadvertently, the sense of oppression of the big swordsman will faintly break out of the body, which is enough to suffocate ordinary people.

And a year and a half has passed, and now Xia Nuo, although the strength realm has gone further, the terrifying sense of oppression on his body has disappeared without a trace.

If it weren't for the fact that his appearance was really outstanding, and even better than Cavendish who was known as Prince Charming, he would be ordinary from every angle, almost no different from those young swordsmen who could be seen everywhere on the sea, and would not attract the attention of others at all.

Some of the more attentive crew members gradually noticed this change, although they didn't really understand the specific meaning behind this change, but no matter who it was, they were quite clear in their hearts.

Captain, he's a lot stronger......

…………

"What's wrong?"

He took off Lan Che and put it on the table casually, then pulled out the chair on the main seat and sat down, Xia Nuo looked up and swept the excited faces of his companions in the circle, and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Hey, I said, I've only been gone for three or four months, you guys one by one, don't be excited like this, right?"

"Uh......"

As soon as he said this, all the cadres were speechless, you look at me, I look at you, and their expressions are a little embarrassed - after all, Xia Nuo's departure this time, although it is longer than the previous times, it is really not too long.

"It's because it's you, Lord Xiano, that everyone is like this."

Luo pushed the brim of his leopard-spotted fluff hat up, and took over the conversation with a smile: "Like the gang on my boat, it is estimated that if I go out for a year or two, they will not rush me back." ”

Xia Nuo smiled, shook his head and didn't say anything, while Cavendish on the side twitched his eyebrows and teased:

"Ha, I can't see Ah Luo, I usually look like you are always deep and cold, but when it comes to sycophancy, you are still the best at shooting."

"Really?"

Law glanced at Cavendish with his arms behind his head, and said lazily:

"I don't know who was still on the deck yesterday, blowing Lord Xiano's swordsmanship to his swordsmen, so excited, I don't know and think you're talking about yourself, I still remember those words, why don't I repeat them to Lord Xiano now?"

"You ......"

Cavendish was flustered for a while, a flush rose on his handsome and immaculate face, and he was about to defend something, but was interrupted by Xia Nuo laughing and waving his hand:

"Okay, why do you two like to choke each other when they meet now, and it's the same as the two of them at the beginning, and the toss is not over. Now, let's get down to business. ”

"Hmm."

Cavendish and Law glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and nodded obediently.
