Staring at the pretty figure disappearing into the kitchen in front of her, Nolan pursed her lips.

He raised the glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

His status as a time traveler did not give him the idea of ​​being superior to others.

After all, I am just an ordinary person with better luck.

An ordinary, ordinary man.

When a member of the opposite sex with excellent personality, appearance, and body expresses his/her liking for him or her in a clear and enthusiastic way.

I believe that few people can resist it.

Of course Nolan can't either.

But reason finally prevailed and he restrained himself.

What if he was currently living in a civilized and harmonious society where the country was prosperous, the people were peaceful, and the people were peaceful before time travel.

Then why not stay in a tavern like this and spend the rest of your life with the person you like and love you?

It's just that I can't go back...

Perhaps it hasn't been a long time since he traveled through time, but Nuolan already has a certain understanding of this once imaginary world.

The initial conservative thoughts had long since dissipated in gunfire and blades.

He knew very well that what was hidden under the passionate plot of the original work, full of dreams and freedom, was endless darkness and chaos.

Even in this remote sea area where pirates are weak, and on a small island where a naval base is stationed, pirates can invade and plunder unscrupulously.

Let alone other places.

In this case, if you really stop moving forward, you will just settle down.

So when possible danger comes, what can he do to protect his family?

Is it this half-baked swordsmanship, or is it just a perceptual ability that only has auxiliary functions?

Nuo Lan shook his head slightly, his eyes full of determination.

Even if it's just for himself, he must become stronger, absolutely!

Take a spoonful of the broth and put it into your mouth, the salty and fresh taste is still spreading on your taste buds.

Nuolan's thoughts gradually flowed to more distant places.

As mentioned before, if you stay in Navy Branch 261, there will definitely be promotions, but very few.

The training in the base can only help Nuolan consolidate her foundation and improve her most basic abilities.

At present, it is almost impossible to obtain new trump cards and achieve a qualitative change in strength.

Now, in front of him, there is only one way to greatly and quickly improve his strength, apart from waiting for time to travel, which is not fixed -

Malinvando.

If he can enter the elite training camp at the Navy Headquarters, under the influence of supernatural powers, he might be able to climb to the position known as "General" one day in the future.

But according to his understanding, there is only one recommendation quota for remote branches like the 261 base every year.

The place to go to the elite training camp this year has been given to Roy.

If I want to get this opportunity, I have to wait for another year no matter what.

"One year..."

Nuo Lan murmured and frowned.

Although he could not remember many details in the original work clearly.

But through various news in newspapers during this period, he gradually clarified the plot line he was in.

Right now, there are still about two years until Luffy goes to sea and the plot really begins.

Assuming that he will definitely be able to get the recommended quota for the branch next year, he will still need to stay on this remote island with scarce resources for another whole year.

Wasteful, very wasteful.

Add to this the time spent training in elite training camps and the various things you may need to deal with after graduation.

When Nolan can truly stand alone and step into the wave of the One Piece world, I am afraid that the development of the plot has already entered an unknown territory.

What's more, although the current sea is extremely chaotic in his eyes.

But in fact, under the control and checks and balances of the major forces in the world, there is still a certain order.

But when "Luffy", the protagonist of the plot, enters the scene and disrupts everything, it's unclear whether this order can still exist.

It will be an unprecedented storm centered on "Luffy" and affecting the entire pirate world.

Nolan must gain the power to protect herself in the storm before that happens.

"well……"

He sighed silently, feeling a little annoyed.

"How can power be such an easy thing to obtain?"

As for the upward path in the world of pirates, there is nothing I can do in a short period of time.

All he can do is to express himself as much as possible in order to obtain the branch's recommendation quota for next year.

And, wait.

Waiting for the call from another world.

…

…

Half a month later.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Squeak...squeak..."

Dark and heavy cannonballs fell one after another from high altitude. The seemingly solid wooden ship planks were as fragile as paper and vulnerable to a single blow.

The ship with black paint on its surface was shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse and sink at the next moment.

The pirate flag hanging high on the mast was only a pitiful piece left by the cannon fire, hanging feebly.

It seems to reflect the tragic ending of this weak pirate group.

"Damn it!"

Angus's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the sea ahead. His eyes were full of hatred and he wanted to eat the other person alive.

Different from the shaky pirate ship, a rather large warship was parked quietly on the sea a little far ahead.

It's like a moving fortress.

The shells that almost destroyed them poured out from there.

In my ears, the crew's screams and calls for help never stopped since the first shell fell.

Come to think of it, it won't be long before they are all wiped out.

"This can't go on like this!"

A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and Angus had already made a decision in his heart.

Turning around, he kicked the helmsman away who was already panicking and was at a loss, and stood on the other side's position.

Full right rudder!

The pirate ship, which was originally heading away from the navy, turned around and rushed straight towards the warship.

Angus knew that with the speed of their pirate ship, there was no time to get out of the warship's cannonball range before the hull disintegrated.

Only by engaging in close combat can we gain a chance of survival.

No matter how bad it is, with his own strength, he can take away a few sailors to be buried with him before he dies!

Perhaps it was the blessing from the goddess of fate. Surprisingly, as the pirate ship gradually approached, the frequency of the warship's cannonballs gradually dropped.

In the end, it was even closer to nothing.

"You guys, come after me!"

Angus waved his long knife and shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, very few responded.

The members of his pirate group had long been discouraged by the artillery fire and had no intention of resisting anymore. They just wanted to surrender and save their lives.

Angus' face was ashen, and he just thought about killing the two who escaped from the battle to boost morale.

But I saw a black shadow leaping high and jumping off the warship in front.

"Boom."

The voice is very soft.

Although there was a distance of nearly three stories, the other party seemed to have landed on a soft cushion made of cotton.

Just by bending the legs slightly, the excess falling force is relieved.

Ease and dexterity.

Not to mention the collapse of the board, even the sound it made when it landed was extremely small.

Already in a desperate situation, Angus naturally had no time to consider how terrifying the opponent's body control was hidden under this situation.

Right now, his heart was already swallowed up by anger.

"You only want to send one down, and you want to capture me?"

Looking at the tall figure standing on the bow of the ship with black hair, black eyes, and a cold and calm face, Angus's face was full of ferocity.

"dream!"

"Die to me!!"

He held a sharp blade that was almost three meters long in front of his chest, strode forward, and jumped over a distance of more than ten meters.

Every inch is longer and every inch is stronger.

It was by virtue of his ability with the long sword that he gained a reputation in this sea.

How could the little sailor in front of him avoid the cold murderous intention that had come?

Presumably, with his speed and the length of the blade, the opponent might not even have time to take the sword out of its sheath before being stabbed to the core by him.

Angus thought so in his mind.

In front of him, there was a sharp "bang" sound suddenly.

Immediately, severe pain came from the chest and abdomen, and boundless weakness swept through the whole body.

He no longer had the strength to move, his vision went dark, and his whole body fell onto the deck.

Nor did she say anything, Nuo Lan looked calm.

He just turned the gun and blew away the smoke rising from the muzzle.
Chapter completed!
