The Black Duke of the Pirate

In addition to Ulma and Drake, there were also Barron, a nobleman of the kingdom, and Chitila, a reporter from the Beihai Branch of the World Economic News.

After drinking several large glasses of wine, Derek couldn't help but ask Dawn: "Do you know who the little old man was who fought with me to the end today?"

"You know?" Liming pretended to be confused. Of course he had to pretend not to know.

"Leaders of the Doflamingo family, Rao G." Drake nodded. He was deeply impressed by the cadres of the Doflamingo family. "This is a group of lawless pirates, especially Doflamingo."

After Brother Ming became a Shichibukai, he became even more serious."

"What, you want to catch him?" Mingxiao asked with a smile, but thinking in his heart, that old guy is not weak, but even though Lao G is so old, Di Wengquan can be said to be the symbol of getting stronger with age.

The older you get, the more you become more demonic. Maybe you are talking about little old men like Rao G.

"I'm a navy, why don't I catch pirates when I encounter them..." Drake snorted.

"Yes...catching pirates is your navy's job..." Mingxiao just smiled and shook his head, picked up the glass and clinked it with the beautiful girl Chitila sitting next to him, and then took a sip.

Jin continued: "I'm just a businessman, it has nothing to do with me."

Derek drank a glass of wine, looked at him and sneered: "You Reinhardt are not an ordinary businessman. I heard that even the battle captain of the North Sea Aubrey Pirates was chopped half to death by your sword.

.”

"This is not something that ordinary businessmen can do." Derek stared at him, hoping to see some flaws in his eyes.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and Ulma's head was pounding. Drake was a navy recruit who had been specifically told by his superiors. Naturally, he couldn't be treated like an ordinary navy recruit. However, when he came up, he directly confronted Mingxiao, which not only made him unable to do anything.

He knew what the reason was, and more importantly, he was vaguely worried that after Drake came, he would know something about his massive wealth-making activities on the island of Gadan in the North Sea. If he found out, would he

It will be reported to the top.

Dawn didn't understand why Drake was so hostile to her when he saw her for the first time, so he responded to Derek's cold gaze: "A businessman who wants to do business always needs some strength that pirates fear, otherwise

Otherwise, the pirates would have killed and robbed the goods before they even left the sea."

Derek paused. This guy spoke impeccably and seemed to be very difficult to deal with.

He had just met Reinhardt for the first time, and he felt a sense of depression in his heart. Thinking that this guy had built such a big business in just a few months, Drake felt that things must not be as simple as they appear.

On the surface, he is a businessman and a civilian hero of Polkaia, but he has such a close relationship with Ulma. Even the security work of the bartender club is provided by the navy.

"I am a navy man. I hope you can always be a businessman who abides by the rules." Drake had nothing to say, just a warning.

"Sir, are all the current navy recruits so good?" Mingxiao smiled at Ulma as if joking. Ulma smiled awkwardly and smoothed things over: "Come on, come on, let's have a drink, everyone will work together well in the future."

Woolen cloth."

"What cooperation?" Drake suddenly asked, looking at Dawn and Ulma warily.

"Of course we are working together to fight against pirates. You don't know that Mr. Reinhardt assisted the Katan branch with a lot of funds to fight against pirates."

"That's it." Drake couldn't help but take another look at Mingxiao. Mingxiao didn't expect that Drake, who had become a naval judge ten years later, would have such a strong sense of justice at such a young age. What was it like?

An unexpected incident made him betray the navy without hesitation...

"I hope to have a duel between swordsmen with Mr. Reinhardt." Drake paused and said abruptly. He wanted to see if the man who could defeat the swordsman Heath was as good as

Rumor has it that it's so powerful. Drake is serious and not joking.

"Okay, but there's no need for a duel. How about we play a little game and treat it like a duel?" Mingxiao laughed and looked at Drake and said.

"Little game?" Drake didn't understand. He saw Dawn taking a five centimeter thick and ten centimeter long candle from the other side, and then lit it.

"Whoever can cut off the candle with a sword without letting the candle go out will win, so what?" Dawn took the lit candle to the empty table next to him.

Derek smiled and said: "So easy?"

As he spoke, he took out the long sword from his waist and walked to the candle.

"I'm not done yet." Mingxiao added, "The key point is not to let the candle's flame sway."

The flame of the candle cannot waver...Drake was a little dazed and looked at him, "Are you kidding? The sword wind alone is enough to extinguish the flame."

Dawn shook her head and smiled: "Can't do it? Then you lose."

"Come on, let's continue drinking."

Chitila opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Mingxiao's cheerful expression, so she covered her mouth and laughed. He seemed to be teasing this guy Drake, which was really interesting.

I have known Mingxiao for a while, and I always felt that Mingxiao often said strange but interesting things. He once told himself that he was going to serialize a story about the Great Sage Qitian in the Beihai section of the World Economic News.

She didn't agree to him, but she was attracted by the story of Monkey King Monkey King told by Mingxiao.

The current dawn is like a gravitational force, attracting Kitiara.

"Wait a minute," Derek glanced at Dawn angrily, "I can't do it, but you can't do it either."

"Let's have an honest duel and stop playing tricks."

"Who said I can't do it." Mingxia looked at him with wide eyes, seeing doubts in his eyes, so he chuckled: "Boy, let me show you the peerless swordsmanship of the great Lord Reinhardt."

"

Everyone at the wine table stared at the burning candle with wide eyes. Dawn walked gently in front of the candle, tightened the jackdaw on his left waist with his right hand, then pressed the tiger head hat on his head, and then lightly

Whistle softly, shush...

As soon as the sound sounded, Mingxiao's right hand immediately started to move. In a flash of light, the jackdaw was inserted into the scabbard, and a rustling sound was heard.

The speed of drawing the sword alone surprised everyone present. Drake kept staring at the candle, but from beginning to end, not only did the candle not move at all, but the flames burning on it did not move at all.

But just now I clearly saw the subtle sound of the blade being unsheathed, and the flash of light and flint was exactly the light and shadow reflected by the blade.

"What's this?" Derek couldn't help but sneered, watching Mingxiao playing tricks.

"Go and have a look, boy." Dawn said with her head held high.

Drake was stunned for a moment, looking at Mingxiao's confident expression, so he approached the candle and touched it lightly with his fingers. A smooth line appeared in the center of the candle. Then he pinched the upper part of the candle with his fingers.

The candle suddenly split into two pieces from the middle.

This...Drake was shocked. Everyone present was also very surprised. How could this be done?

Mingxia couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, he didn't cut it off at all. Everything was just a cover-up. He cut the candle in advance and glued it on using a special method. However, Derek didn't check the candle carefully before adding it.

Shang Mingxiao's acting talent is very good, and there is no flaw at all, so everyone thought he had just cut it off with his sword.

It is not difficult to cut off the candle with the blade of the sword so that the flame will not go out. This is not difficult in Drake's opinion. You can cut off the candle without causing the candle's flame to shake at all. This does not require strong swordsmanship.

What's more, the control of the sword blade has reached an extremely subtle level.

He didn't believe that Mingxiao had this kind of swordsmanship ability, but everything that happened before him told him that this guy could really do it.

"You win." Derek returned to the table angrily, picked up the wine glass and drank without saying a word.
