Chapter 331 My Great Swordsman Neighbor

Chapter 331 My Great Swordsman Neighbor

The Kingdom of Hitzkeal, the former site of the royal palace.

The corpses that were rotting into bones gave off a terrible stench. Even Mihawk, the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye, frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

Walking into the depths of the palace, the original luxurious decorations were smashed and dismantled by the rebels, and dry and wet garbage were scattered everywhere.

Swinging the sword lightly, a gust of sword wind blew them to the corner of the wall. Hawkeye went to the king's bedroom to observe and walked out again.

"You can live in it, but you need to clean it up first."

He thought for a while, and went out to find the baboons again.

...

Xiaochao Village, Ji Xing's house.

Ji Xing is counting the windfall gains from maintaining the law and order in Xiaochao Village this time. Doflamingo has always been a wholesaler of good products, and the devil fruits in his hands are always being robbed. Ji Xing never thought that he would be able to snatch one by simply maintaining law and order.

It was a pale yellow fruit in the shape of a peach, covered with spiral patterns like devil fruits, which let Ji Xing know that it was a superhuman fruit, but it was not clear what it was.

Ji Xing stared at it for a while, and felt a faint attraction, and the instinct to eat it came from his body, but this feeling was very weak, far less than that of brains to monsters!

"It seems that so many children eat it by mistake not all because of gluttony, this thing looks weird, except for someone like Lu Fei, who would eat it casually?" Ji Xing thought: "Oh no, again Forget that there are many mental illnesses in this world.”

Studying the genetic changes of the devil fruit on the human body is Ji Xing's biggest goal after invading the Pirate World, but there is no condition and time, so Ji Xing put it away first.

‘If you bring back a devil fruit when you choose income, what will it look like under the changes in the world’s rules? ’ Ji Xing seldom brings items for income, and he feels the most secure when all his abilities are his own.

But it seems that it is not impossible to consider supernatural items such as devil fruits?

In addition to the devil fruit, there are some jewelry, and the most important three knives.

There are no good knives in Xiaochao Village, and the dignified sheriff used the same ordinary saber as the guards, and now he can finally change the knives.

Two of them are similar to the knife he got when he was in Wan Guo, and the forging process is good.

And the remaining one...

Clang——Ji Xing drew his knife out of its sheath.

The half-clear, half-blue blade flashed a monstrous luster under the sunlight, and the pitch-black hilt was held in the hand, and there was a feeling of complete mastery. Ji Xing pulled out a hair and threw it away. The dangling hair was easily cut in half by the immobile blade.

You can break your hair without blowing it!

"Fifty Knife of Good Quick Knife?"

"Or the twenty-one job of the big fast knife?"

Except for the special Zanpakuto, even the forging process of the Sun Wheel Sword is far inferior to it. Ji Xing thinks that this should be one of the 71 famous swords.

The Twelve Crafts of the Supreme Quick Knife is unlikely.

"But I can raise it."

Like Ghost Slayer's He Dao, the swordsmen of One Piece World can use their armed domineering aura to cultivate black knives, so that the lethality of the knives increases exponentially. Ji Xing's arrogance is long enough to master the heat, but the previous Not to mention keeping that knife, he didn't even dare to try his best to wrap the weapon around.

No matter how powerful a swordsman is, he must have a good sword!

...

The pitch-black sharp blade is a chaotic blade with a heavy T-shaped pattern. It is one of the 12 supreme knives, and the strongest black sword night sends out powerful chopping waves in the hands of Hawkeye.

Amidst the earth-shaking roar, a hole tens of meters deep was cut out. Hawkeye put the knife back into its sheath, and the baboons behind them carried the corpse and garbage in fear and buried them in it.

Hawkeye supervised the work silently.

After a while, he suddenly reached out to stop one of the baboons and said, "Wait a minute."

The baboon was about to throw away a torn picture scroll full of footprints and mud, when Hawkeye took the picture scroll and looked at it.

There are four people in the painting, a king with beige hair and a crown, a young prince with beige hair who is eighteen or nineteen years old, a princess with a gentle smile in her black hair, and a cute girl princess who inherited her hair color.

"Occupy their home, don't erase their last traces."

Hawkeye patted the dirt on the scroll and handed it to the baboon: "Put it back in the palace hall."

...

"Brother Sheriff." Natalia faced Ji Xing, her eyes were red, she bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for saving me, thank you for my father...for my father , mother and elder brother revenge, I have caused trouble for the village."

The red strands in her hair are gone, and the pure black hair combined with ordinary fisherman's clothing is no longer so dazzling. Of course, her temperament and appearance are still a bit eye-catching compared with ordinary villagers.

Ji Xing shook his head: "You're welcome. As the village's security officer, every civilian who enters the village is under my protection. Why, has the little princess settled down in Xiaochao Village?"

Aunt Kirsty smiled and said, "Well, don't call her little princess, Hollow. Call her Nata, and she will be my daughter from now on."

Several people told him what happened after Ji Xing left that day.

Only a few people and Abe knew the identity of Princess Natalia. The village chief kept it a secret for her, and only said that she was the daughter of a merchant who was robbed by those pirates. Both her parents were killed. Aunt Kirsty saw She had nowhere to go and adopted her.

As for Ji Xing, he was going to deal with another batch of pirates, earnestly avenging Nata, and preventing another batch of pirates from attacking Xiaochao Village again, fulfilling his duties as a sheriff. So when they knew that Ji Xing was back, they immediately came over to make a confession, so as not to be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Holo, those rebels are now..."

"I'll kill them all." Ji Xing said, "It's been dealt with from beginning to end. There will be no accidents. Don't take the initiative to make public. No one will be able to find Nata again."

Really kill them all? ! The rebel army that captured a country was completely wiped out by the sheriff of our village? Although there are not many rebels left, this feeling... How should I put it, it is as surprising and bewildering as the old man who played chess together every day suddenly turned into a monster.

But this is a good thing for Xiaochao Village.

In this kind of place where pirates are often encountered, there is a strong sheriff to protect them, and the happiness index of the villagers has gone up.

Aunt Kirsty gently hugged the agitated little princess, looked at Ji Xing, and wanted to praise him for being a good boy, but felt that it was inappropriate.

The village chief was surprised, but also worried: "By the way, Holo. The fact that you captured more than 40 people by yourself this time has spread, and the heads of several other villages and towns have sent people to inquire about the news. , even the navy knows, the G19 base asked you if you are interested in becoming a navy..."

Ji Xing smiled and said: "Xiaochao Village is my home. If the town wants to promote me to be the Chief Sheriff of Tidal Island, I will agree, but I will still stay in our village at ordinary times, but as a navy, in a short time I didn't intend to do that."

The village chief took a reassurance in an instant, and smiled: "In this era, everyone yearns for the sea. If you want to become a navy, we will not delay you. But as the village chief, I certainly hope that you can always Protect the village."

"By the way, there is one more thing." He looked at Nata and said, "I temporarily hid the property you seized from those rebel ships that day. Look at these things..."

"Give it to Nata. This is her country's wealth." Ji Xing said, "Don't refuse. I'll keep the other half of the rebel army's wealth."

Nata closed her little mouth that had just opened, thought for a while and said, "I don't need that much money, just a few pieces of jewelry from the queen mother are enough."

She forced a smile. "Aunt Kirsty will support me, won't she?"

"You girl." Aunt Kirsty couldn't help laughing: "You can't eat free food, starting tomorrow, you have to help me sell things."

"Yeah." Nata agreed, then hesitated and said, "Brother Sheriff, I have one more request, can you...can you teach me swordsmanship?"

Ji Xing didn't ask why. Suffering always makes people grow. He smiled and said, "No problem. You are actually a little late to learn at your age. It will be very hard. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Um!"

"What kind of swordsmanship does the little girl learn..." Aunt Kirsty muttered, but didn't say much, knowing that Nata was still fragile at this time.

Nata pursed her lips into a smile.

When she walked out of Ji Xing's house, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her face, and two more tears rolled down her eyes, and she quickly changed into a strong expression.

‘Thank you, village chief, Aunt Kirsty, and Brother Sheriff! '

The mountain that weighed on my heart was moved away.

She felt like she had been reborn.

...

Boom—boom—

Amidst the roar of the explosion, two powerful chopping waves smashed the two crooked buildings, leaving the front of the palace empty.

The baboons went to clean up the ruins in reverence, awe and frustration, while Hawkeye stood on the steps of the palace and watched the sunset, then swiped a knife casually to cut away the building that obstructed the view, and nodded slightly.

that's it.

Hawkeye, who always goes wherever the boat floats, this is the first time he has occupied a base, not because he is old and yearns for stability, but after constantly challenging the strong and becoming the world's number one swordsman, he is worthy of his challenge Running out.

The remaining few are powerful, and it is not easy to pull them out for one-on-one competition.

It's better to find a place to practice swords by yourself.

It wasn't the emptiness and foundation that pleased him most about the place, but the baboons.

With the efforts of the baboons, he had a simple dinner and moved into the empty palace.

Early the next morning, standing in the empty square in front of the palace, Hawkeye pulled out the black knife, held it with both hands, raised it, lowered it, and swung it again and again.

Without pouring any power, the swinging knife only brought up gusts of breeze, but if there is a strong person here, you will find that every time he swings the knife, the range is exactly the same, not differing by a millimeter, and even the direction of the wind is blown every time. All the same size!

Swordsmanship is the most unflattering practice, no matter how powerful a swordsman is, he has to go through accumulative training, even if he is the number one in the world, he never relaxes!

Not long after the practice, a group of baboons suddenly ran over, lined up behind Hawkeye, imitating his appearance and brandishing the knives they picked up from the battlefield.

The corner of Hawkeye's mouth curled into a slight smile.

...

"Swordsmanship is the most unflattering practice. If you want to become a strong swordsman, you must go through thousands of boring repetitions!"

Xiaochao Village, open space, Ji Xing said to the five men and two women who were training with knives in front of them: "Fedorenko, don't be lazy with your wrists, stand still! Rexidan, your chest doesn't have to be so straight!

Since you want to practice swords with me, you must have perseverance and determination. If you can't persist, it doesn't matter if you quit. Your level is enough to be the guard of Xiaochao Village. "

"Boss Hollow! We can do it!"

"drink--"

The seven of them did not let up, they were all persevering.

The five men and one woman here are guards under Ji Xing's command. Because they knew that Ji Xing was powerful, and heard that Abe pestered Ji Xing to learn knives, they also expressed their desire to learn, so they appeared here.

Ji Xing now has only these six guards left under his command. The original seventh person is 42 years old. Before Ji Xing suddenly emerged, he was the first candidate to take over as the magistrate. Young took the position and was very dissatisfied.

Ji Xing was very active during the half month he was away, and even said something that should not be said. Last night, Abe hacked him out of the village with a knife and moved away. Ji Xing only got the news this morning.

He doesn't care, he is not Pele, and he cannot be liked by everyone. And the seventh person in front of him was naturally Nata, who said yesterday that she was going to learn swordsmanship, and made up the number to seven.

This little girl also has some basics. She has at least learned etiquette swordsmanship before, but she is young and lacks physical strength. After swinging the knife repeatedly less than a hundred times, her forehead is covered with sweat, and her hands are obviously sore. Gritting his teeth stiffly.

Practicing like this would hurt herself, but Ji Xing didn't stop her. Seeing her getting weaker and crumbling, he didn't call to stop. Instead, it put pressure on the other six well-built guards.

The youngest, Nata, didn't stop, and Ji Xing didn't call to stop, and kept correcting the non-standard movements. Who would dare to give up first, and who would dare to stop first?

It wasn't until Nata, whose face was stained with sweat, threw the knife she couldn't hold on the ground with a clatter, and was supported by Ji Xing, and the others vented their strength, but they heard Ji Xing say: "Rexidan, come here. You guys Five, 100 more times!"

"ah--"

"Boss Hollow..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just swing the knife 100 times more than the 15-year-old Nata, that's a lot?" Ji Xing asked.

"Not much!" Abe gritted his teeth and replied.

"I can hold on too, boss." Rexidan was the only woman among the guards, 25 years old, with short hair and very firm chest muscles.

"I asked you to come here so that you can learn something else." Ji Xing helped the exhausted Nata sit on the ground, and said, "Look, from now on, you and Nata will do this to each other to relax your muscles and reduce soreness."

As he spoke, he clasped Nata's shoulders with his two big hands and twisted them counterclockwise. Nata's sweaty face also twisted, but he found that his arms seemed to be able to lift a little.

"Hmm...Brother Sheriff..."

"I see your determination, Nata, but don't worry." Ji Xing smiled and said, "You will become stronger, but becoming stronger is a process that accumulates over time. Come on, Rexidan, let me teach you how to press it .”

After saying that, he squinted at the five male guards: "What are you looking at? Wrists! Shoulders! Is anyone tired and wants to quit?"

The five quickly waved their knives squarely.

Abe's heart was pounding, the boss became so strict, so...cool

...

The next development was somewhat beyond Ji Xing's expectations. He thought that these guys would be hot for three minutes, and they would probably walk away after two days of practice. In the end, it would be good if there were four of them practicing with him.

But maybe it was because of Nata's stimulation that they didn't want to be the first to be ashamed, or maybe it was because everyone in One Piece World had the ambition to become a strong man, and all seven of them persisted.

As a result, Ji Xing, the sheriff, sometimes had to take over some patrol duties.

But that was nothing to him.

The process of instructing Mengxin is also the process of Ji Xing checking for omissions and making up for vacancies. He has some new experiences who have basically never taught a few apprentices, and the time spent is well worth it.

In the blink of an eye, another month of peaceful time passed, and a small boat arrived at the east port of Tidal Island.

The black cloth cross candlelight seems to come from the netherworld, it is Hawkeye's unique wooden boat!

Walking on such a dangerous sea area as the Great Route, Hawkeye has always been one person and one boat. His powerful swordsmanship has helped him defeat the celestial phenomena. Flying and slashing are the driving force of his wooden boat. Maybe when no one is watching, he will also use the black knife to row. Up and down.

He got along well with the baboons during this period of time, and he didn't plan to move, he was here for supplies.

There are a lot of supplies in the ruins of a country, but it is impossible for Hawkeye to pick up junk everywhere.

Especially salt and other things are almost used up, and they always go to inhabited cities to buy them, and Lindao Tidal Island, which is two days away from Gloomy Island, naturally became his first choice.

Because he has no money with him, and there are always walking wallets on this island.

Sure enough, it didn't take him much time to find a group of pirates. He was very satisfied with the pirate captain's 32 million Bailey bounty and seeing his rude attitude as he walked over, so the world's number one swordsman He rewarded the other party with the decorative knife hanging on his chest, and in a burst of panic, he carried the corpse to a nearby place to change some money, went shopping, and soon came to a bustling small fishing village.

"Xiaochao Village... seems to be the largest of the five fishing villages on this island."

It's a bit cramped, written and deleted, sorry, 4600 words are short and powerless.
