After the first pirate group that landed on the island, Wood's name completely spread on the island, and he became the guardian of Hongye Island.
Of course, to put it nicely, he is a guardian, but in reality he is just a security guard...the captain, the unpaid kind.
If possible, Wood really doesn't want to be famous. After all, we are in the era of great pirates, and some pirates will do anything to become famous.
Killing an entire island or something like that is already considered a basic operation. After all, a pirate's bounty is not necessarily directly linked to his strength.
As long as they do something heinous enough, they can also get a high bounty, and in the pirate circle, the bounty given by the navy is equivalent to their popularity.
There are many ways to become famous. In addition to doing all the evil things, defeating famous local strongmen is also a very fast way to increase your fame.
So if possible, Wood really doesn't want to be famous, because it will only lead to more trouble. What if one day a guy comes along that he can't afford to offend?
Now that his strength has been exposed, the islanders will definitely turn to him for help when facing pirates coming to the island in the future.
Even if the islanders don't ask him for help, the pirates who land on the island will definitely choose to target him if they know that he has a thorn in their side.
Considering the seriousness of the matter and the possible threats in the future, Wood went home and packed his luggage without saying a word, and planned to take Stia, Ain and the others to other islands for refuge.
If he had just traveled through time, going to sea would undoubtedly be a narrow escape, but with his current "iron-cutting" level swordsmanship, coupled with the high-intensity training of the past six months, as long as he did not deliberately seek death, Wood was still confident of taking Nina and the others with him.
Mother and daughter went to live on other islands.
"Ding, found a new mission.
Mission Name: Guardian of Red Leaf Island
Mission requirements: Within one year, repel or kill the vicious pirates who landed on Red Leaf Island.
Before this task is accomplished, the host is not allowed to leave the island in any way, otherwise it will lose the lifelong right to use this system.
Mission reward: a life simulation opportunity
(PS: The second-level benefits for newbies, the rewards are basically free. If you can’t deal with a group of miscellaneous fish that don’t deserve the name, such a time traveler might as well be killed by a block of tofu.)”
It still smelled familiar. The system spoke very rarely, but every time it seemed that the poisonous tongue attribute was at its maximum! And the timing was just right. He was just about to run away when the long-dormant mission was triggered.
Wood felt fucked up about the sudden task. The task was not mandatory, but it was basically the same as mandatory.
The system is his golden finger as a time traveler. Escape means losing the plug-in. What is the difference between a time traveler without a plug-in and a salted fish?
Wood doesn't think he is gifted. What the audience wants to read is cool writing. There are no cheats to improve his strength. How can he kick the Yonko and punch the Five Old Stars in the future?
At the age of fifteen, other time travelers have either single-handedly tortured generals, or used the heads of the Four Pirate Emperors as urinals. He is still cutting down trees in Novice Village, and he has obviously lost at the starting line.
So after some hesitation, Wood finally stayed on Hongye Island and took on the responsibility of guardian.
Now that the one-year period of guarding Hongye Island is approaching, Wood has gained nothing.
First of all, because of the close relationship between Wood and Ain, people on Hongye Island now respect Ain and Stea.
Most of the time when Stia goes shopping on the street, she doesn't need to spend money, because everyone knows that she adopted Wood.
You must know that before this, because Ain's father was killed by pirates, they were left alone with orphans and widows, and their life on the island was quite difficult.
And in addition to this aspect, another aspect is that Wood, who has been fighting with the pirates who landed on the island this year, has also accumulated a lot of combat experience in many battles.
What I have to say is that actual combat is indeed the fastest way for a person to grow.
The improvement Wood gained from practicing hard in the first half of the year was far less than the 30% he gained from fighting the pirates in the second half of the year.
Facing the sword strike of death all the time, and the boring exercise of wielding a sword are two completely different experiences.
Human beings are not stupid, they will fight back, and in desperate situations, they will fight back with all their might.
At the beginning, facing some ferocious pirates, although Wood was able to win in the end, he often ended up with a lot of injuries.
However, as the number of battles increased, Wood began to gradually master the rhythm of combat, and combat experience continued to accumulate.
From the beginning when he faced enemies who were not as strong as himself, he was injured, to later he was able to defeat opponents whose strength was almost the same as his without any injuries. This shows how much Wood has improved.
In the constant battles, Wood gradually used the sword skills that were directly engraved in his mind by the previous system one by one, and used the feeling of body memory to completely transform the things in his memory into his own things now.
"Aunt Stiya's cooking has improved again. It's much more delicious than the restaurants on the island."
Eating the food prepared by Stiya and looking at Ain who was happily eating and drinking with her hands on her chin, Wood's spirit, which had been tense due to his cultivation, couldn't help but relax a lot.
However, while Wood was enjoying a leisurely lunch, a pirate ship with a skull flag appeared in the sight of Wood and Ain from a distance, and slowly sailed towards the port.
"The damn pirates are here again, why are there so many sea worms!"
The people of Momiji Island are no longer strangers to the pirate ship, so when Ain and the others saw the pirate ship, the small towns on the island immediately rang warning bells.
"Ai Yin, please go home quickly. Aunt Stiya must be very anxious now."
Wood finished the contents of the meal basket in three strokes, then picked up the coat hanging aside and put it on, and pulled out the long knife stuck on the ground. After giving Ain a few instructions, he jumped up and down quickly.
Rushed towards the port.
At the port of Hongye Island, a medium-sized sailing-type pirate ship has occupied the entire port, and the crew on the ship has also dropped the anchor.
"Captain, this is Hongye Island. It is said that the mangroves here are one of the best materials for making ships.
After entering the Grand Line, the climate began to change, so replacing a strong and durable ship is indeed our top priority now."
Hearing the words of the vice-captain beside him, a tall man with a mohawk and armor on his hands walked out of the cabin with a fierce look on his face and looked at the red leaf forest on Red Leaf Island.
Give orders to the pirates on the ship.
“When we get to the island, we just take away the existing mangroves. If there are not enough, we force the islanders to go up the mountain and cut them down.
Then he found the mayor of the island town and asked him to arrange wine and food for the brothers if he didn't want to cause casualties.
I also arranged for some young girls from the town to come over and let the brothers get angry. After sailing on the sea for a few months, I now feel that I have a beautiful face even looking at a sow."
