The Pirate Garen

The small boat galloped across the sea like a flying fish, the white waves were surging in the whistling wind, and a straight silver line was drawn on the calm sea like blue amber.

The strong wind and the splashing water made the powerful Cavendish feel a little overwhelmed.

And the Pluto Rayleigh who was walking with him was relaxed and comfortable, and he was not moved by the storm in front of him at all.

He always had a gentle smile on his face, and he looked like a harmless retired old man.

But Cavendish naturally would not think that this senior Raleigh is really a mediocre old man. In addition to Raleigh's own famous reputation and the aggressive aura he showed before, Raleigh's current performance also makes Cavendish Xu was in awe:

Now the speed of the boat they were riding was as fast as lightning, more than ten times faster than when Cavendish was on the boat alone, and the power of the waves was almost comparable to that of murloc karate.

And all this, only because the rower was replaced by Rayleigh.

Cavendish, who has always regarded himself as a genius, and never paid attention to Qi Wuhai even after all the setbacks, finally realized what is beyond others and beyond the sky. clean and dry.

but

Unexpectedly, the famous Pluto senior also used a sword to row a boat

Looking at the black knife Qiushui in Rayleigh's hand that was used as an oar, Cavendish's expression became weird involuntarily.

"Hahaha"

Lei Li noticed the somewhat complicated eyes of the young man beside him, and couldn't help laughing freely:

"What? Have you ever seen someone row a boat with a sword?"

"no no no"

Cavendish blushed, and hurriedly said:

"I usually row like this when I'm alone!"

"only."

Cavendish's face became more and more red: "I always feel that doing this is against the morality of a swordsman."

"Ha ha."

Rayleigh chuckled twice, shook his head again and said:

"Why do you bother with this? Quite the opposite."

Lei Li paused for a moment, but he took the trouble to mention this junior who had a good impression:

"Using a sword as an oar has three advantages for a swordsman!"

"oh?"

Cavendish's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that he might have encountered a great opportunity to be taught the secrets of the sword by an expert from outside the world.

Regardless of the oncoming wind and waves, Cavendish immediately put on a serious posture of sitting upright and listening attentively.

"First"

Lei Li stopped the movement of paddling water, and showed the black blade of Hei Dao Qiushui in front of Cavendish:

"This is the cultivation of 'Qi'."

"The blade of a sword is only an inch wide, but a ship weighs a thousand pounds."

"How to propel the entire ship with a narrow blade, and how to make the sword energy exert the strongest thrust?"

As he spoke, Lei Li lightly moved his sword-holding wrist:

The narrow blade of the sword suddenly crashed into the water, and in an instant, a monstrous white wave with a width of more than ten meters surged backwards.

After seeing this scene, Cavendish suddenly realized, and felt that Lei Li's words were like Huang Zhongda Lu, thought-provoking:

His sword, Durandal, is a western light sword with a light and slender body, and the blade alone is not enough power to propel the ship forward;

So every time he rowed a boat with his sword, he was unknowingly tempering his sword spirit.

It's just that when I was rowing the boat before, I didn't pay attention to comprehend it carefully, and wasted so many precious opportunities to improve my swordsmanship.

"second."

Lei Li hid the blade of Heidao Qiushui in the water, and said, "This is also the practice of 'strength'."

"How to use the smallest force to tilt the fastest water flow?"

"And how to control the current so that the fragile wooden boat remains stable while galloping and is not destroyed by the waves?"

The black knife in Lei Li's hand stirred the water again, but this time the blade of the sword was like a swimming fish, swift, alert and silent.

Obviously, no waves were stirred up, but Cavendish could feel the drastic change in the undercurrent at the bottom of the boat, which made the boat speed up a bit.

"sharp!"

Cavendish only felt a sudden enlightenment, as if he had learned the same swordsmanship as he had learned from Bai:

"I didn't expect such a simple rowing action to contain such a profound meaning of swordsmanship!"

"Ha ha."

"It's nothing great, it's just familiarity."

Raleigh smiled lightly, then said in a deep voice:

"And this third point is the most important point, and it is also the fundamental reason for rowing a boat with a sword."

Cavendish was completely immersed in his understanding of kendo, so he couldn't wait to ask: "What is it?"

Lei Li suddenly stopped explaining, then pointed to the sea not far away and said:

"We caught up!"

Cavendish looked quickly, and there were two ships docking with each other, drifting on the sea together.

The mast and sail of a ship were shattered, but Cavendish could still recognize it as the ship that Moria had taken from him.

And the other ship turned out to be a naval warship. Judging from its huge size, one could tell that the specifications of this warship were not low.

Cavendish's expression immediately became solemn: "Why is there a navy here?"

Take a closer look with superhuman eyesight:

I saw Moria's conspicuous body sitting on the deck of the ship, and in front of him was an admiral wearing a cloak of justice and a handsome knight in gorgeous armor.

Because Moriah was facing Cavendish sideways, Cavendish couldn't see clearly the hideous scars and gray expression on Moria's face.

Cavendish could only see the vague smiles on the faces of the admiral and the strange knight, as if they were chatting happily with Moriah.

And Moriah's muscular body, which could not be cut with a sword, trembled in front of these two people.

Cavendish's pupils shrank, and he immediately guessed the current situation:

It seems that the jokes that the knight told were very funny, and even made Moriah, the vicious big pirate, laugh so hard that he was trembling from laughing.

"hateful!"

Cavendish clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth:

"Damn King Shichibukai!"

"Moria, he got mixed up with the navy!"

And Lei Li also focused his eyes, and looked in the direction of the ship with some surprise.

But his attention was not on Moria and the vice admiral, but he focused on Galen standing beside the vice admiral.

"Isn't this the young man that Kulocas wants to thank?"

"How could he mix with scum like Moria?"

Raleigh came to Alabasta for this trip to present the Black Sword Autumn Water to Galen as a thank you gift. Naturally, he had paid attention to Galen's information and photos in advance.

Raleigh immediately thought of the images of "law-abiding citizen", "friend of the navy", and "supporter of the world government" created by Galen in the newspaper, and couldn't help frowning slightly:

"Could it be that the young man that Kulokas is optimistic about has fallen to this point now?"

"well"

After a soft sigh, Raleigh turned to Cavendish and said:

"It's not just as simple as the navy. I know the admiral."

"He is the well-known Admiral Ghost Spider of the Navy Headquarters."

"In terms of strength, the ghost spider should be regarded as one of the most ruthless characters among the vice admirals."

After hearing this, Cavendish couldn't help but shuddered, and his hand on the hilt of the sword was quietly clenched a little.

Raleigh told Cavendish a worse situation with a solemn expression:

"And the knight standing next to him is the supernova Galen who recently killed Crocodile."

"Although he is a new star, according to an old friend of mine."

"His strength is probably not inferior to that of the captain when he was young."

"What?"

Cavendish's expression froze, and a look of surprise burst out of his eyes.

The "captain" in Raleigh's mouth, needless to say the name, Cavendish knew who he was referring to.

Well, the knight turned out to be...

As good as the young One Piece?

Cavendish couldn't close his mouth in horror.

Lei Li gently stroked his neatly trimmed short silver-white beard, and asked with some amusement: "Why are you afraid?"

"Afraid."

Cavendish nodded, but replied word by word:

"but."

"That child hasn't been rescued yet!"

"Don't say a vice admiral and a supernova"

Cavendish's handsome eyebrows condensed incomparable determination, and the few unhealed scars on his face made his creamy little fresh meat figure instantly evolve into a masculine real man:

"Even if Admiral and One Piece come, I will never back down!"

"very good."

Lei Li moved his lean and strong muscles and bones a little, and there was a crisp explosion of muscles and bones all over his body.

There was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and his gentle demeanor turned into a soaring spirit:

"Then I, an old man, will accompany you to do some activities."

"yes!"

Cavendish also pulled out the famous sword Durandal from his waist, and his whole person became calm and calm.

But just when the two were about to jump up and attack the enemy ship, Cavin did stop suddenly.

"how?"

Riley was puzzled.

"Senior Raleigh."

Cavendish asked with some concern: "Before the fight, can you tell me what is the most important third benefit that you didn't finish just now?"

"Forehead"

Raleigh couldn't help chuckling, and asked back, "How long would it take you to complete the voyage we just sailed if you only relied on sails and currents?"

"At least one day."

Cavendish answered seriously, trying his best to comprehend the deep meaning of Senior Rayleigh's question.

"So, the biggest benefit of rowing a boat with a sword is naturally"

Rayleigh explained with a serious expression:

"Go fast."
