Pirate Love System

never mind.

It's better to wait here.

After all, I am an outsider visiting Shuoyue Village. Who knows if Koushiro is busy with some private matters now, so it would be a bit rude to rush over and disturb him.

Guessing that it would be a while before Koushiro came back, Nosha sat back on the wall, took out a stack of reward orders, and flipped through them casually to pass the time.

Sauron, on the other hand, took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the master and trotted into the house to boil water and make tea for Nuo Xia.

He obtained these reward orders from Bucky, and the information is quite detailed. Basically, all the pirate groups with names in the East China Sea are here.

Not surprisingly, Nuo Xia found many familiar faces inside.

"Crick Pirates, "Pirate Fleet Admiral" Crick, 34 years old, with a bounty of 9 million Baileys, well, this expression looks like he deserves a beating..."

"Chef Pirates, Zep, 57 years old, with a bounty of 12 million Baileys... Oh, the red-footed old man still looks very young and energetic..."

"Sniper Star Pirates, Van Oka, 17 years old, with a bounty of 18 million Baileys... He has the highest bounty in the East China Sea right now, right? He has become so famous when he has just grown up. No wonder he will be favored by Blackbeard in the future.

Become a captain under him..."

While Nuo Xia was flipping through the pages, Sauron also came back. He respectfully placed the tea cup next to Nuo Xia, then sat down next to him, curiously sticking his head out and reading along.

Don’t know, don’t know, still don’t know…

Shuangyue Village is really too isolated. Zoro has never heard of many of the big pirates who are famous in the East China Sea and can make children stop crying at night.

It wasn't until the last page of the wanted poster revealed a photo of a red-nosed clown that he couldn't help but scream:

"It's him!"

Huh? Noxia looked back at Zoro in surprise, "Do you know Bucky?"

In his impression, in the original timeline, Sauron had no interaction with Bucky before he boarded the ship. Could it be that the butterfly effect caused by him had changed?

"Seen it!"

Zoro looked at the photo, as if recalling some bad memories, with a somewhat fearful expression, "This guy brought his subordinates to the dojo half a year ago and said he was going to set up a dojo in our Shuangyue Village.

Is it a courier transfer point or a transfer station or something like that? I can’t remember clearly.”

"The teacher was not around at the time. Seeing how aggressive they were, we all thought they were pirates who came to rob us, so we all rushed out to fight them."

"In the end, that guy didn't take us seriously at all. He didn't even try to hide, and just let us kill him casually... Do you know what happened next?"

"what happens?"

Nuo Xia could probably guess it, but still pretended to be curious and cooperated.

"All to no avail!"

Zoro gritted his teeth, "Whether it was me or Kuina, everyone's slashes fell on him, but none of them had any effect. Even if he was cut into dozens of pieces, his body recovered as soon as he was slashed.

Not even a drop of blood was shed!"

"Later, the teacher came back, and after dealing with the guy away, he told us that this guy named Bucky is a very powerful Devil Fruit user. No matter how powerful the swordsman is, it is impossible to hurt him at all."

"The teacher also said that not only Bucky, there are many people with this kind of Devil Fruit ability in the sea. They can't be dealt with with swords. They must master other higher powers."

"I secretly asked the teacher what that kind of power was, but he didn't want to answer. He just told me that that kind of power is not something I can come into contact with now. I just need to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship and don't think too much, but..."

Zoro raised his head, with a look of reluctance and confusion on his dirty little face, "Uncle, I also know that as a swordsman, it is wrong to think this way, but many times when I practice, I will

I can’t help but think about it, if it’s like what the teacher said, no matter how powerful the swordsman is, he can’t hurt Bucky…”

"Then no matter how good you are at sword practice, what's the point?"

"I have always dreamed of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, but if I can't deal with those Devil Fruit users, wouldn't this title... be nothing special?"

As he said this, his tone became increasingly frustrated.

Obviously, the strange scene in the battle with Bucky half a year ago had a huge shock and impact on this little guy who has been obsessed with kendo since childhood.

Nuo Xia did not immediately respond, but frowned slightly.

What is Koushiro doing?

He's just a Baki. Although the split fruit can be immune to slashes to a certain extent, is it still a big deal for a great swordsman like him who is close to the Four Emperors?

Just a blow from the back of a knife or a fist can smash it into a pulp, right?

Why didn't he make it clear to his disciples? How could he let something like this affect his disciples' yearning for the highest place in the art of swordsmanship?

Do you think Zoro and the others are too young and have lived in a small place all their lives, so there is no need for this? Or do you think that even the most promising Kuina and Zoro will not be able to defeat a Devil Fruit user with their future swordsmanship achievements?

Degree?

There might also be other deep meanings and plans... But Nuo Xia looked at Zoro who was in a somewhat depressed mood, shook his head, and decided to ignore those things and decided to help him regain his confidence in the way of the sword now.

"There is no reason why swordsmanship cannot defeat those with Devil Fruit abilities."

He rubbed Zoro's hair and spoke softly, "Want to see how far a swordsman's slashing can be done?"

Eh?

Zoro raised his head in surprise, and suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes lit up.

Before he could speak, Nuo Xia smiled and patted his shoulder, put away the wanted poster and stood up:

"Come on, I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Shuangyue Village. Take me to a secluded coast and I'll show you."

…

Half an hour later.

The edge of the forest south of the village.

Nuo Xia stared silently at the gate of Yishin Dojo not far across the way, with three black lines appearing on his forehead.

"Eh? Eh? No! Why are you back again?"

Beside him, Zoro looked around in confusion, "That's not right. I remember that I was heading northeast all the time. How could it be..."

What on earth was I thinking that I would expect this kid to lead the way... Nuo Xia sighed sadly and looked to the north of the forest, "The northeast is the most secluded, right?"

"Yeah."

Zoro nodded, "There is a steep cliff over there, and the sea is at the bottom. Not to mention at night, almost no one goes there during the day..."

"That's fine."

Nuo Xia turned her head and suddenly stretched out a hand to grab Sauron's shoulder, "Close your eyes and open them again when I tell you to open them."

"ha?"

Zoro looked stunned, "Why, uncle, you...ah!!!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he screamed, because at that moment, the surrounding light and shadow suddenly changed, and he was actually carried a hundred meters into the sky, with the howling wind beside his ears, and the rapidly shrinking village houses and trees at his feet.

, the adrenaline stimulation brought by the weightlessness made Zoro subconsciously tighten his legs, and tears were about to burst out.

"Fly? I'm flying??"

"No! I was flying with my uncle!"

"No! Hey! Uncle! You can actually fly? Tell me I'm not dreaming...ah!!!!"

…

Two minutes later.

Zoro landed on the top of the cliff in a daze, with the waves crashing from the shore beneath his feet, and the all-too-familiar bright moon above his head.

But Green Algae Head still feels that everything around him is so unreal.

"Uncle, what are you..."

He looked at Nuo Xia's back in front of him and couldn't help but wanted to ask for more information when he saw Nuo Xia had already taken out the pure white wind sword and said calmly without looking back:

"Concentrate, I will only use one sword, watch carefully."

As soon as these words came out.

The curiosity that filled his stomach was swallowed back immediately. Zoro tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked ahead without daring to move, for fear that he would miss any details.

next moment.

Nuo Xia's figure suddenly moved.

With calm eyes, he drew his sword with the standard Iai hand gesture, and struck out towards the sea in front of the cliff!

Buzz!

The surrounding void suddenly shook violently, and Zoro felt a strong sense of suffocation approaching, as if all the air on the shore had been sucked out at this moment.

And as the sword fell.

A magnificent sword energy like a white giant python roared out in a mighty manner, swallowing up everything in its path!

boom!

boom!

boom!

The sound of explosions was continuous, and it was the sea surface illuminated by the moonlight, exploding countless thick water columns, rising into the sky, almost covering all sight.

When these water columns fell back to their original point and the surrounding area gradually returned to calm, a terrifying gully hundreds of meters wide suddenly appeared in the sea that had been slashed by the sword energy, stretching to the far end of the sea level.

It was as if the entire sea had been cut in half by this sword, and the end could not be seen at a glance!

"This this……"

Zoro opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a basket of eggs. His face was full of disbelief. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but at this moment he seemed to have lost his ability to organize language. He was unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.

etc!

Suddenly, Zoro seemed to notice something again. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. His eyes suddenly widened and he was even more horrified.

I saw a gap in the sky under the night sky, spreading from directly above the cliff to the skyline, vaguely connected to the end of the horizon that was cut in half...

The bright moon is in the sky, the sea and the sky are aligned...

Zoro felt his scalp numb, his throat rolled, and he swallowed hard.

Is this scene in front of me really not a dream?

Cut open the sea, cut through the sky... Swordsman, swordsmanship, can actually achieve this level?!

"Now."

At this time, Nuo Xia finally returned to her sheath, turned around and smiled gently, "Do you still think that no matter how good you are in swordsmanship, it is meaningless?"

Zoro's consciousness was already a little blurry. He nodded subconsciously, then reacted suddenly and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

"Then do you think a Devil Fruit user, such as that clown Bucky, can take this sword?"

Zoro was now completely awake and shook his head decisively.

Take this sword?

What a joke!

With such a sword strike, let alone one Bucky, even ten, a hundred, or thousands of them, wouldn't they be crushed into minced meat in an instant and wiped out in ashes?

Zoro looked at the cut sea in the distance, and then looked at Noxia who was smiling slightly, his eyes shining brightly.

No wonder...

No wonder the uncle had to let him find a secluded beach for him to demonstrate his swordsmanship, instead of staying in the open space of the training ground.

If we really want to cut this sword there, let alone the Isshin Dojo, I am afraid Shuoyue Village... no! The entire island will be split in two like the sea in front of me, right?

If I was full of gratitude for Nuo Xia's careful guidance in the courtyard of Yixin Dojo.

So at this moment, Zoro only has awe and admiration for the mysterious swordsman uncle in front of him! Admiration from the bottom of his heart!

…………

"Uncle, who are you?"

"No Xia? I haven't heard of it. I have remembered your name! But you can't tell me your identity directly. Forget it, let me guess. Are you the world's greatest swordsman now?

"

"And judging from the fact that you carry so many wanted posters with you, I'm afraid you must be the most powerful bounty hunter in the world!"

"Hey, hey, uncle! Don't just smile and say nothing, at least nod!"

…

Along the way, Sauron's childish nature was fully exposed. He was like a little sparrow, chirping and asking questions here and there.

Nuo Xia answered them one by one at first, but then the questions became more and more weird, and he just smiled and stopped talking.

The two of them walked through the country roads. Since Nuo Xia was in the lead this time, they finally didn't get lost again and soon returned to Shuangyue Village.

The Yixin Dojo is faintly visible, brightly lit.

"It seems that the teacher is finally back!"

Zoro's excited voice came from the side.

"Um."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly. Even if he didn't deliberately use the observation color to detect, he could faintly sense that there was a rather powerful aura in the Yishin Dojo.

Finally I can practice swordsmanship and get addicted to it.

Just when I was thinking this, a "Bulu Bulu" ringtone suddenly came from my arms.

"Hello?"

Nuo Xia casually answered the phone.

He originally thought that Bucky had almost completed the progress and was reporting to him.

But suddenly I noticed that the little phone bug gradually turned into an old man with white hair, and very suddenly, he began to pick his nose skillfully.

as expected.

The next moment, a familiar loud voice came from the microphone:

"Hey, hey, hey? Hello? It's Nuo Xia, right? Are you in the East China Sea now?"
