South of the South China Sea.

Clear snow-white beach,

The sea and the sky are indistinguishable blue.

The endless sea water extends from the beach into the distance, all the way to the horizon. When viewed from above, the green islands below are like dazzling pearls embedded in the blue sea.

This is the Santa Bama Islands in the South China Sea, which consists of a total of 1,190 islands. It has the most beautiful sunsets, the most magnificent sea views, and the most free environment in the world.

Under the historical conditions of continuous struggle for thousands of years, the World Government gave up assigning tribunals to station and manage the islands in the South China Sea even though it was included in the jurisdiction.

no country,

no law,

There is no world government yet.

Today, the Santa Bama Islands in the South China Sea are a paradise for countless pirates, revolutionary soldiers and adventurers in the four sea areas. The islands are full of bars, casinos, life and death arenas and various thrilling holiday rides. Every year, thousands of

Pirates and fugitives from all over the world come here to vacation. Of course, there are also dignitaries from various countries who dress up in disguise to seek excitement, and even the descendants of gods who go to the Kyoto metropolitan area.

Here, no one cares about your identity, and you don't need to abide by any laws. You only need to abide by a few simple rules that have been established for thousands of years, and you can let yourself go as you please.

On the beach near a certain port, the blue water kisses the silver gravel.

Ryunosuke Kamiya, the captain of the second division of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates, wore a loose floral shirt on his upper body, exposing his bronzed chest, and beach pants below. He lay on the soft beach with his hands behind his head and squinted lazily in the sun.

Sunbathing.

The cool water swayed over his ankles and occasionally rose to his knees. The scabbards of the three sharp knives he casually placed at hand were also immersed in the water from time to time.

On the Santa Barbara Islands, if you have weapons, you must show them openly like this. The word restrained and low-key may apply to anywhere in the world.

But it just doesn't fit here.

Kamiya Ryunosuke listened to the laughter of his companions on the boat in the bar not far behind him, and his mood gradually became quieter. He squinted and looked at the clear blue sky.

I couldn’t help but sigh:

It's such a good weather to sleep in.

Just when he thought like this,

Just when I was planning to do this.

A pair of braided sandals suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, followed by a pair of white and tender calves. A girl wearing a sunhat and slightly wheat-colored skin walked up to him, and her eyes fell on

Ryunosuke Kamiya placed the three knives on the beach.

"What a child with a lingering spirit."

Kamiya Ryunosuke muttered something, turned over, and turned his back to the other person.

The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl standing on the beach next to him is called Ai Lei, and she is the granddaughter of the fat old man in the beach tavern behind him.

Ever since the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates' ship stopped at the port here a week ago, and he and his friends on the ship came to this tavern, this little girl named Airei has appeared in front of him from time to time, her eyes fixed on her.

Staring at the three knives in his hand.

Staring while eating

Staring while drinking

Even he's staring now during his nap

Finally, Kamiya Ryunosuke, who had been asleep for a long time with his eyes closed, couldn't stand it anymore.

He turned back helplessly and said, "I'm really scared of you. What do you want, little brat? Let's make a deal first! I don't have any money, and I can't give you a knife."

"Teach me swordsmanship."

The little girl said crisply.

"That's even more impossible."

Kamiya Ryunosuke simply refused and turned over to continue sleeping.

So the little girl named Airei didn't say much, and still stood on the beach in the sun, standing next to Ryunosuke Kamiya like a small sculpture.

I don't know how much time has passed.

A dark cloud floated above the head, leaving a shadow on the face of Kamiya Ryunosuke lying on his side. Kamiya Ryunosuke suddenly asked:

"Why do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

"revenge."

said the little girl.

Kamiya Ryunosuke did not continue to ask.

The little girl on the island lives with her grandfather who owns a tavern, so it is obvious who will take revenge.

But at this moment, a little girl named Ai Lei suddenly asked:

"Why do you have three knives?"

Kamiya Ryunosuke did not expect that the first time his daughter would ask him a question would be this question. He said casually without thinking:

"Because the person I want to kill also has three knives."

"Have you killed him?"

"No. That guy is not that easy to kill." Kamiya Ryunosuke narrowed his eyes slightly, with some complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

For a moment, some messy thoughts in his mind seemed to drift back to the time when he was at the First National University of the Grand Duchy of Shayash more than ten years ago. The kind-hearted teacher and classmates appeared in the memory.

The cold face that always has a cold face and pursed lips.

Time is really a knife.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

"Why do you want to kill that person who also has three knives?" the little girl Ai Lei asked again.

"He killed my teacher."

Unexpectedly, Ryunosuke Kamiya blurted out the secret that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years so naturally today to a little girl he had known for less than a week.

"I also want to kill those pirates who killed my parents."

The little girl Ailei said calmly, then asked seriously, "Is your enemy with three knives difficult to kill?"

"Um."

Kamiya Ryunosuke nodded silently.

The peak powerhouse of Stage 8 and Stage 5!

A man who can be revered as the "Sword Emperor" by swordsmen all over the world. What kind of towering and daunting peak is that?

There are countless swordsmen in this world who have worked hard all their lives, but they may not be able to survive a move under the opponent's sword. Even a conceited genius swordsman like Kamiya Ryunosuke has no pride or self-esteem in front of that man's name.

"must work hard!"

Suddenly, the little girl Ailei clenched her fists and said.

"Um?"

Kamiya Ryunosuke was stunned.

"Come on! Let's work together for revenge!" Ai Lei said with a very serious tone, a sunny and innocent smile on her pretty little face.

Kamiya Ryunosuke subconsciously said "Hmm", and suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to have been tricked by that kid, and he felt like he was being encouraged by a child.

But when he turned his head, the little girl Ailei had already ran back quickly amidst the irritable shouts of the fat old man in the tavern, her little figure like a wave dancing on the sea.

At this time, under an umbrella outside the tavern not far away, a man with short chestnut hair and an extremely frail figure was lying quietly on a chair, with a brown sunhat covering his face.

As if he heard the movement on the beach, the man picked up the hat with some difficulty and glanced sideways, then put the hat back on and closed his eyes again.

Three-sword style. Sword Emperor. Crow sword?

Thinking of the man with eyes as sharp as an eagle, Kamiya Ryunosuke suddenly jumped up on the beach, and the three knives that were previously immersed in the sea fell into his hands and mouth, and his heart was rekindled.

The strong motivation to climb to the top!

The teacher's knife

one day,

I will take it back myself!

Same sky, different place.

Cross Continent, the central and eastern region, starting from the capital of the Yaman Free Federation in the west.

When Lake, the black-robed captain of the local Judgment Division's enforcement team, walked out of the villa, his face was as pale as rice paper, and the strong smell of blood surrounded him from behind.

He unconsciously quickened his steps, as if he wanted to escape from some hell on earth, and was even more afraid of the scary woman who was following him with a half-smiling smile. The Sixth Judgment made Adeline unable to hold back the urge to vomit in her stomach.

He lost his composure on the spot, which in turn affected his reputation among the big shots above.

Captain Lake thought he would be able to breathe a breath of fresh air when he walked out of that hellish villa. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the villa, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a gust of wind above the head of the scorching sun outside. He opened his eyes and looked at the hazy air everywhere.
