Chapter 6: Wings, Years, and Generations (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"On January 21, 1506 (Note), the original bounty of 320 million Bailey, the sea pirate 'Moonlight Moria' and his pirates disappeared mysteriously in the New World, and their whereabouts are still unknown, but the possibility of encountering a serious natural disaster cannot be ruled out. As we all know, the seas of the New World are strange and very recognizable, and there are many areas ......"
Aine read the 'World News' she had just gotten in her hands in a tone without any emotion and at a constant pace, and the major news that the 'big man' like the Seven Martial Seas of the King was suspected of being killed did not cause any waves in her.
Originally, it didn't matter who drowned someone who was irrelevant to her, such as Qiubai......... Qiubai still counts, although he owes a lot, but it is better if he is still alive.
Qiubai has also become accustomed to extracting the information he wants from Ain's voice...... Although this habit has only been born for less than three days.
It was also the third day he had followed Ryoma to learn swordsmanship and the third day he had come to the island, and although there was a lot more to learn, he didn't give up on his practice.
At this time, he was swinging his sword, and his mind was thinking quickly.
"The time of the sword hero Ryoma is running out, and he is about to return to his hometown 'Wano Country' because of the local concept similar to 'falling leaves returning to their roots'......"
"As for Moonlight Moria, probably for the sake of the face of a 'legal pirate', the World Government or the Navy Headquarters whitewashed his defeat. Shipwreck? Disaster? No, the Moria Pirates should have been killed by Kaido cleanly, I remember that after this battle, it seems that only Moria survived, and Kaido's psychological shadow on him made him from a 'young talent' and 'star of hope' in the pirate world to a standard dead fat house after more than ten years...... Tomb robber. ”
"So things seem to be connected, so ...... Moriah dug up Ryoma's grave? ”
"Although Wano Country has always implemented a policy of locking down the country, it ...... Moria, 'Moonlight' Moria, has any connection to the Kogetsu clan of Nono Country? Is the reversal of surnames just a coincidence? It's like there are many people in the world who collectively call shredded meat, but after all, there is only one that can jump. ”
Before Akibaku came to this world, One Piece was still a "progressive" story after all, and it was no longer a story, but a vast world. Originally, what the story showed was a part, and what Qiubai knew was a part of the part, and compared to the amount of information contained in the whole world, what he knew was necessarily small.
So in many cases, he can only guess and deduce based on what he knows, but in fact, it is not known if the truth is like that.
But rightly or wrongly, it doesn't really matter. For the current Qiubai, don't talk about Kaido, even things at the level of Moria are too far away for him, in the final analysis, this is all determined by strength.
Therefore, his family knows his own affairs, and his main purpose of going to sea now is not to break into the new world, but just to leave the high-play area and go to the rest of the four seas to level up.
"Why don't you read it?" When Qiubai came back to his senses, he realized that Ain's voice had stopped.
"The rest of the news, it doesn't make sense." She replied.
In fact, it's just because Qiubai's distraction ignores her "work", so she is a little emotional.
As she spoke, she was about to fold the stack of newspapers aside, but at this moment a wanted notice leaked out and floated to Qiubai's feet.
The newspapers that come with Newsbird often come with the latest wanted pirate warrants for bounties for the most vicious pirates, but there are exceptions, and there are many wanted warrants for people who are judged to be an "SSS" danger to the World Government, such as the one at the foot of Autumn White.
"A bounty of 79 million Bailey, son of the devil, Nicole Robin."
Akibaku remembers that O'Hara's "Demon Slaying Order" destroyed by the Navy seems to have been five years ago, and it is precisely because of this benchmark event and the death of One Piece Roger that he has made a mutual determination of the story and the chronology.
The only survivor of O'Hara was Nicole Robin, who was 8 years old at the time...... At the age of 8, the bounty is 79 million, and there is probably no more delicious "fat" for bounty hunters...... Her experience and circumstances are too easy to imagine.
The most ironic thing is that the people who are judged to be the first priority danger people or professions in this world are not mad scientists, or even pirates, but archaeologists.
"Blank 100 Years ......"
Qiu Bai's thinking began to diverge a little again, and he quickly pulled his consciousness back and focused on the sword swinging practice in front of him.
His movements are monotonous and repeated, taking a step forward from an upright position, then swinging the knife completely, then retracting the leg and retracting the knife, then stepping again and swinging the knife, and so on.
Qiu Bai's body is clean and neat, and once he swings the knife, it just gets stuck for a second, and there will be no problem even using his movement count for timekeeping.
This kind of exercise doesn't seem to be difficult, but there are two key points. First of all, every day he had to swing his sword continuously for three hours, that is, ten thousand and eight hundred times; Secondly, the props he uses are not swords in the ordinary sense, but super heavy swords...... Twin knives and hammers.
Almost as he swung his sword, the sweat that flowed from his arm to the sword body was thrown out in a straight line.
In addition to this, he also has a more pure physical training, which is an important reason why his physical fitness is much higher than the average level - many things cannot be determined by nature and must be obtained by cultivation.
This kind of boring practice is difficult to persevere, but Qiubai persevered, because he really had what he wanted, so he could endure it all for it.
"It's time."
"Yes."
When his last sword fell, Aine also spoke to remind...... She counted them all at once.
Just as the practice of swinging a sword itself was boring, this kind of counting was not much better, but she enjoyed it and took it as a rule.
When he was with Qiubai, Ain's sense of presence was not strong, but even if he pretended to be fresh, he always felt that there was a sour smell between the two who grew up together, and people couldn't help but curse.
According to Qiubai, this is a world where personal strength is enough to affect the balance of power, so "force" is particularly important, but individuals always have things that they can't do, so they need the existence of companions, which is an extension of each other's siblings and can even be directly said to be a "mutual sibling" relationship.
But the gender surprise of men and women made his words not a dime convincing.
After the end of the independent practice, it was followed by Ryoma-sensei's swordsmanship class, and Ain followed Qiubai and was also qualified to learn......
She's also a swordsman, and she's used to using dual-wielding short weapons, which can also be counted as melee dual-blade flows.
Note: That is, at this time, Roger has been dead for eight years, and Luffy is about three years old.
