"Title Page Serial·Bellemere Chapter 1·The First Reunion of Mother and Daughter"
"Another war is over. The navy of the 16th branch of the East China Sea has won a great victory. The corpses of pirates are everywhere. Bellmere, who is a rust fruit ability user, takes the greatest credit. For this, the commander in charge of the warships
The school does not hesitate to praise itself.”
"Well done, Bellemere! The lieutenant colonel said with a smile. He said that by the end of this mission, Bellemere, who is already a second lieutenant, will be promoted to at least two levels in a row and become a captain."
"Doesn't that mean he has the same position as old Mr. Romanov? Bellemare was delighted, but he always felt a little weird."
"But she didn't have much time to think about it. After simply cleaning the battlefield, the warship set off again and headed towards the new target island at full speed. It was already occupied by pirates. It is said that the captain was quite powerful and a fierce battle was waiting for them...
"
————————-
Twenty days later.
Grand Line, G-8 branch.
The warship that Nosha and others were on carried out simple supplies here, and then was warmly seen off by the commander of the branch, Lieutenant General Bucky.
Continue on the journey to the headquarters.
Nuo Xia stood at the bow of the ship, smiling and waving goodbye to Vice Admiral Bucky on the dock, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
If he had come to the G-8 branch more than a year ago and met Lieutenant General Bucky, he would have only saluted solemnly.
But now, having been promoted to Lieutenant General of the headquarters, his status in the navy seems to be on an equal footing with these veteran commanders.
There was even a vague feeling that he was inspecting by a superior, half a head taller.
Quite subtle.
Fresh water, food and other supplies have been fully stocked. After Nuo Xia inquired for a while, he turned back to the closed training room and continued today's hell practice.
This journey has been quite smooth.
I didn't encounter any decent pirate groups, nor did I encounter bad weather or ocean storms.
Therefore, his practice these days has not been affected by the outside world and has been improved in an orderly manner.
…
A few hours later, in the training room.
In front of an iron wall that was several meters thick, Nuo Xia's eyes were deep. After exhaling softly, he suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist. The rich dark armed color instantly enveloped the entire arm.
In the next moment, Nuo Xia's right fist suddenly punched out and landed on the iron wall.
Boom!
A large crack first appeared on the iron wall, and then in just two or three seconds, it was completely torn into pieces amidst the explosion, and countless small pieces of iron flew across.
Even the entire warship was shaking slightly at this moment.
"The destructive power has improved again."
Seeing the iron wall collapse and shatter in front of him, Nuo Xia nodded with satisfaction.
In the past few months, he has spent a lot of energy on the weapon color, striving to improve the cohesion of the weapon color and its penetrating and destructive power against single points.
Now it seems that the hard work was not in vain.
When he first returned to Xihai, his punch could at best make a hole in the middle of the thick iron wall, and countless cracks appeared around it, but the broken wires still stood in place.
Compared with the current power, it is a whole level lower.
"It can defend and attack, and the armed color is really a good thing..."
Nuo Xia sighed, even though he majored in double sword swordsmanship, and after several battles, he was already a world-famous swordsman.
But no one would have thought that today, even without a sword, I could easily smash a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million into a pulp with my bare hands, right?
"After that, it's time to try more advanced skills in using armed colors, such as covering the whole body without blind spots, and then like Liu Ying..."
He held his chin and pondered, then suddenly thought of something and looked down between his legs.
If the weapon colors were used more flexibly, would it be possible...
Hmm.
Maybe when Taotu returns to the headquarters and the two meet again, they can try it out?
It's been a month since they were separated in the blink of an eye, and he still misses Little Rabbit.
Well, there are also Shia and Bellemere...
The former had been on the phone frequently on his way back to the West Sea from the New World. It seemed that her father's condition had gradually stabilized and improved, and there was no need to stay in the palace any longer.
Maybe before the end of the year, the blue-haired girl will be able to take the time to come to the headquarters and meet her again.
Speaking of which, that guy Xiao Luo is still staying in the Paja Kingdom. He will be able to return to him when the time comes. After not seeing each other for a few months, he doesn’t know how much he has gained weight...
As for the latter, I have been unable to contact him recently.
Nuo Xia is probably busy with tasks and traveling all the time, but Bellemere has already eaten the Rust Fruit and has become an esper.
In an area like the East China Sea, where a bounty of tens of millions is offered for even a big pirate, he really doesn't need to worry about the safety of his childhood sweetheart.
"Lieutenant General!"
I opened the door and left the training room, and when I was about to go to the restaurant to have dinner, the sentry's scream suddenly came from the watchtower:
"Look! At three o'clock, over there... there seems to be a ship coming!"
"Yes, yes." Nuo Xia laughed a little, "What does it seem to mean?"
"Well……"
The young sentry scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Because I'm not sure whether it's a ship or not... It feels more like a wooden board, like a coffin, but there seems to be a human figure on it..."
coffin?
Nuo Xia raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly became interested. He turned around and hurried to the bow of the ship. He took the monocular telescope handed over by his subordinates and looked over there carefully——
As expected.
From the foggy place in the dusk, you can see a small black shadow floating with the waves. Its size is not even that of a speedboat.
And when the distance between the two parties narrowed, the appearance of the black shadow finally became clearer.
On a small wooden boat shaped like a coffin, there sat a man with his legs crossed, wearing a burgundy patterned shirt, and carrying an extremely heavy black sword behind him, like a standing cross...
What a dangerous place the Grand Line was?
There are countless pirates who have prospered all over the world. As soon as they stepped into this place, their ambitions were destroyed and buried by the ruthless sea.
And that man actually dared to sit on a small wooden board all by himself, wandering around in a carefree manner?
"How on earth did he do it?"
A few sailors couldn't help but exclaimed, "There was nothing in that little boat. There was not a single sail, rudder, or oar in sight. What did this guy use to row the boat?"
Of course, it is one of the twelve skills of the Supreme Speed Oar, Black Sword Night.
Nuo Xia put down the telescope and stared at the small wooden boat drifting closer and closer, with a slightly strange look on his face.
Did you actually meet this guy at this time?
Life is full of surprises.
……………
Mihawk on the boat actually noticed the warship from a distance.
He is not a pirate, nor does he have a bounty on his back.
Therefore, he had no intention of avoiding it. He just silently put Heidaoye back behind his back, sat down with his legs crossed, and let the boat continue to drift forward, intending to pass by the warship...
"Um?"
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that on the deck of the warship, there was a vaguely familiar figure from a distance, which looked very much like the man he had been looking for.
Mihawk's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"...I've searched all over the world but couldn't find it. I didn't expect to find it here..."
He pressed the brim of his hat and whispered to himself.
This opportunity cannot be missed.
The young swordsman who didn't know that there is a saying that goes, "You can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." immediately stood up without hesitation.
Tiptoe slightly, he rose and fell a few times on the waves, relaxed and carefree, and landed on the deck of the warship.
…………
"Are you the Mihawk known as Hawkeye?"
As soon as I stood firm on the deck, a leisurely voice came from ahead.
Mihawk looked up in surprise and saw the tall figure wearing a white cloak of justice, looking at him with interest.
At the same time, he raised his hand slightly to stop the sailors from surrounding him with their guns.
"It's down there."
Mihawk ignored the vigilant sailors and couldn't help but be curious when looking at Nuo Xia, "Your Excellency Nuo Xia... you have actually heard of my name?"
"Are you surprised?"
Nuo Xia smiled slightly and said, "I have even seen your photo in the newspaper. You have only been at sea for two years, and you have defeated many famous swordsmen. Considering your age, this is an amazing thing."
His words seemed a bit exaggerated. After all, in terms of age, the twenty-three-year-old Hawkeye was three years older than him.
But at this moment, no one on the warship, including Mihawk himself, felt anything was wrong.
After all, compared to Mihawk, who has some nicknames, the name Romanov Nosha has become famous many times in the past two years, and is an idol admired and respected by countless people.
In front of such a top powerhouse with all the prestige and status, the eagle-eyed redhead is nothing more than a latecomer and a nobody.
"...It's a great honor, Your Excellency."
Mihawk couldn't help but take off his top hat, and leaned over to give a brief salute to hide the slight smile that couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.
"I thought you were going to go around it, right?"
Nuo Xia saw this subtle change in his eyes and couldn't help but laugh. "Now it suddenly comes up again. Why, did you see me and want to compete with me in swordsmanship?"
"I do have this idea, Your Excellency."
When I raised my head again.
Mihawk has returned to his usual indifferent and calm look, as if nothing can shake his expression.
"Maybe you don't know it clearly, but in fact, I have had this idea since a year ago."
He looked at Nuo Xia with sharp eyes and said solemnly, "But I was lucky at the wrong time. I missed it several times. Today is a rare chance to meet again. No matter whether you are free or not, I will not let go of this opportunity."
While speaking, Mihawk slowly pulled out the black sword behind him and held it tightly in his right hand.
"Please draw your sword, Lord Nosha."
He said in a low voice.
All I have to do is tie a green scarf on my head...
Mihawk's solemn and serious look made Nosha's eyes move slightly, and he seemed to see Sauron outside the Barati restaurant twenty years later.
The only difference is that at that time, the aloof Hawk-Eye Mihawk, who was known as the world's greatest swordsman, now acted like a low-ranking challenger in front of him.
"Now that we've talked about it, it seems like it's hard for me to put it down..."
Nuo Xia waved his hand to signal the subordinates around him to move away. Then he looked at Mihawk and said with a chuckle: "In that case, I will do as you wish."
The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, and everything around them seemed to fall into silence at this moment.
Immediately.
Buzz!
In the sudden clear sound, the sword blade was unsheathed and directed towards the figure on the other side, simultaneously slashing out a magnificent sword energy!
boom!
The two sword energy collided with each other, exploding into a dazzling blue brilliance. The sea surface approaching the warship immediately set off huge waves and exploded several water columns more than ten meters high.
laugh!
The aftermath of the sword energy collision had not yet dissipated, when two piercing sounds suddenly erupted in the air, and the figures of the two shot out at the same time, intertwining together.
Snap!
The ground beneath the two people was shaken at the same time, creating huge cracks, which spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, endless spider web-like cracks appeared on most of the deck.
"Well, it seems I miscalculated..."
Through the gap between the sword blades, Nuo Xia looked at Mihawk who was close at hand, smiled slightly and said:
"This is my boat after all. Even if it doesn't hurt my people, it's not good if it damages the flowers and plants. How about moving to a more secluded place?"
"I am being rude, as I should be."
The eagle-eyed Mihawk glanced at the cracks on the deck with his peripheral vision, and immediately nodded apologetically, and directly agreed without any further hesitation.
Just as the dark clouds in the sky dispersed and the moonlight shone, the two of them stepped out of the air at the same time in the faint light and shot towards a remote island not far away.
The whole ship was left with a sea of sailors, all staring and anxious, unable to see the battle between the two swordsmen, and feeling itchy like a cat scratching their hearts.
——————-
Clang!
Above the boundless sea, the sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly resounded through the sky, and the three sword blades clashed fiercely at a terrifying speed that ordinary people could not imagine, causing little sparks to fly.
In the moonlight, the surface of the sword shrouded in cold light reflected the outlines of the faces of the two young swordsmen.
"The speed is faster than me, and the strength is much stronger than me..."
Hawkeye's eyes flashed and he said in a low voice, "As expected of Your Excellency Nuo Xia, this battle seems to be more difficult than I expected. I can only go all out from the beginning. Please be careful."
"Feel free to come over here."
Nuo Xia nodded slightly and chuckled.
The next moment.
With an extremely solemn expression, Eagle Eye grasped the hilt of Hei Daoye's sword tightly with both hands, then raised it high above his head, and suddenly slashed forward with the sword.
Nuo Xia still looked indifferent, and Azakana's sword and the wind sword came out at the same time, staggering and slashing down together.
There are no fancy sword skills or any special abilities attached.
As a great swordsman who has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, the sword he struck at this moment seemed to be unpretentious and simple.
But the terrifying power contained in it has already brought its own swordsmanship and domineering power to the extreme!
Buzz!
The moment the two sword blades swung down across each other, the sea surface suddenly rose into turbulent waves!
The sword energy whizzed past, as if all the air had been sucked out of the place it passed, and the sea water rolled back crazily towards both sides.
Boom!
Amidst the rolling waves, a sea king happened to be passing by this sea area.
Feeling the violent fluctuations coming from above, it roared angrily and angrily stuck its head out of the sea to see who had disturbed its peace.
then.
The next moment, two surging sword energies instantly passed through its huge head and collided violently in the hard skull.
boom!
Above the sea, a terrifying storm suddenly arose, as if the end of the world was coming.
This sea king, which was four to five hundred meters long, barely lasted a few seconds before it let out a cry and completely collapsed from its head.
Blood rain flew all over the sky, and the entire huge body was cut into countless pieces of flesh by the aftermath of the sword energy collision.
In the horrified eyes of many sailors watching from a distance, he fell into the sea with a crash!
