――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As Rogge's words reached the man's ears, he strode quickly in front of Rogge.

Judging by his size, the man was a strong man in his thirties, wearing a horned helmet and nearly two meters tall, just like the one painted on the wanted notices posted throughout Hokuriku.

His sturdy upper body was not armored, revealing a body of white muscles, and his lower body was wearing a pair of sharkskin trousers, a pair of sharkskin boots, a well-honed short knife hanging from the buckle of his belt, and two pairs of sharp throwing axes, and the most conspicuous thing was a golden step axe on his shoulder, which made the whole person look extremely powerful.

"I don't remember robbing you, why can't you get along with us......" The pirate leader took an axe from his waist and slapped it against his palm.

"I'm just a mercenary knight, and I'm on orders," Rogge asked. "Tell me your name, and I'm going to make a final confirmation, lest I catch the wrong person. ”

When the pirate leader heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said proudly: "Lao Tzu's name is well-known in the entire underworld! Remember this, I am a legendary pirate who has passed through storms, pierced thunder, and stepped on the sea!"

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it...... All I want to know is your name, and your identity, that's all. Unable to stand the other party's self-aggrandizement, Rogge yawned helplessly.

"Lonely noble boy, for the sake of your skill just now, Lao Tzu will tell you! I am the leader of the Tomahawk Regiment, the king of the marauders, Nabal, it is not so easy for you to crusade against me!"

When Nabal called out his name, Rog nodded in satisfaction, raised his sword in the air, and flew a secret arrow towards him, killing one of the pirates beside him.

At the same time, the bounty hunters hidden in the village took advantage of the cover of darkness to kill, and the pirates could not see how many people came, and they inevitably panicked and did not know how to meet the battle.

In the face of this ambush, Nabal threw the throwing axe in his hand at Rog in a fit of rage.

But Rog dodged with ease, and Nabal slashed the ground with his axe, sending out a shockwave of golden light.

This time, Rogge couldn't easily dodge, so he used his qi to make a move, and took it from the front, and the countless swords condensed by qi finally canceled out the powerful shockwave.

In the light of Nabar's shockwave, the pirates saw the enemy in the darkness clearly, and found that the enemy was far inferior to their own, so they rushed up to the bounty hunters and began a bloody melee.

As the soldiers were busy with the scuffle, the two leaders, Nabal and Rog, could not sit idle, and the two walked back and forth on the beach, but never took their eyes off each other.

Amid the shouts of the pirates and bounty hunters, the two began to confront each other......

"I thought the leader of the tomahawk would be a good opponent, but the move just now was just the effect of that strange axe!

The freelancer Rogge's eyes suddenly ignited with fire, and a sword pierced into the ground, only to see a giant gas condensation sword condensed by qi power fly out from under Nabal's feet.

Unfortunately, Rog miscalculated, and Nabal, who was tall and stout, also had a sharp skill, jumped back to avoid the rising sword shadow, and threw the flying axe in his hand at him far away.

Rog dodged the axe with the same ease, jumped sideways and swept over Nabal's head, drawing a beautiful arc under the moon, and slashing at the back of Nabal's head with a sword.

In the face of this inevitable sword, Nabal raised the handle of the axe at a very wonderful angle, and shook Rogge's sword away, and then swung the axe and turned around and slammed it up, when the blade of the axe touched the long sword in Rogge's hand, due to the excessive attack power, Rogge's sword actually broke directly.

The utterly unexpected attack put Rog at a disadvantage, but White was distracted by a timely shot that hit Nabal's axe from afar.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Rogge kicked Nabal away and jumped into the air to throw a throwing knife in response.

As Nabal dodged the throwing knife, Rog unleashed another aerial attack, sending Nabal's horned helmet flying with an upward kick and sending him to the ground with a high kick.

Nabal, who had been kicked by Rog's flying kicks, didn't have much trouble getting back to his feet, but the hatchet in his hand had already flown far away, and the expression of pain under his black mess was revealed, and he covered his injured mouth and coughed out two teeth from it.

"Ahh

At this time, Rogge was about to repeat his old trick of flying kicks to decide the winner, but unfortunately he was seen through, Nabal directly reached out and grabbed Rogge's right foot, and threw him to the sand with all his strength.

The pain of the wild fall caused Rog to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and before the pain could pass, Nabal picked him up from the ground and threw him out and fell on the sand.

"This ...... Your life is so hard...... He can still stand up...... "After fighting with all his strength for a long time, Nabal was also a little tired, and he was particularly surprised when he noticed that Rog, who had been knocked down by himself with all his strength, stood up again.

"Huhu...... You must be glad that I don't have a sword in my hand, otherwise with your two blows, I wouldn't have the qualifications to fight with you......"

Rog, on the other hand, his chest was stained with the blood he had spit out when he was injured, and his cloak had worn out a little as he rolled to the ground, and after wiping the blood from his mouth, he staggered towards Nabal from a distance.

At this point, the two seemed to still have the will to fight, staring into each other's eyes and rushing at each other with all their might, while delivering the final blow.

In the collision, Nabal punched Rog in the abdomen, and Rog kicked Nabar in the face, and when the aftermath of the attack wore off, the two fell in unison......

At this time, the victory or defeat of the melee was already obvious, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of numbers, far inferior to this group of pirates, after the defeat of the melee, the bounty hunters left a large number of corpses and fled.

The pirates, cheering for victory, found their leader lying to the ground, and immediately came to Nabal's side and lifted him up.

White also came to Delacro's side to rescue him, and the two sides were once again in a state of confrontation.

"Haha... Do you know how powerful Lao Tzu is... Let's go home and practice......"

"It's pure luck that you've been able to fight me to this point...... Now it seems that you are more embarrassed......"

The two sarcastically said to each other, but in this duel, Nabal cut off Rog's sword, and he was kicked off his helmet and lost two teeth, which was indeed Nabal's more miserable.

He thought that Nabal would let his men take such a bad breath on his behalf, but he said to the pirates, "Let's go...... Let this guy go this time, and get it back later......"

The pirates were incredulous, but Nabal's eyes were so determined that they could not discuss, and several pirates retrieved Nabal's axe and helmet, and helped him to the dinghy, rowing towards the pirate ship in the distance.

"Sir Rogge, are you alright, it looks like you're hurting a lot......" As soon as the pirates had left, White helped Rogge to sit down on the sand and inquired about his injuries.

Rogge shook his head, indicating that his injuries were not in the way, got up and walked to the corpses of the bounty hunters not far away, and sighed: "This time it was my mistake, I only cared about my own battle, and completely ignored these men, so I can only bury them first!"

As a last resort, while Rogge was resting to regain his strength, White and several cavalrymen carried the corpses of the pirates and bounty hunters killed in the melee to the center of the village.

They found some unburned grass from the hut, prayed for the dead, burned them, and left the fishing village with Rogge in the light of the fire......
