Year 1122 of the Tianyuan calendar.

April 16,

It’s another Saturday morning.

At White Swan Harbor in Barton County, Kyoto Metropolitan Area, thick white fog enveloped the sea, and a civilian transport ship slowly approached the port.

A group of four or five casually dressed men jumped off the deck. One of them, a young man, looked particularly eye-catching with a huge rectangular wooden box on his back.

The man at the head of this group was tall and thin, with a young age but somewhat gray hair. He did not look like anything special. He had a black cloth tied on his face to cover his eyes. He seemed to be a blind man who had lost his sight.

It's just that the blind man occasionally twisted his eyebrows slightly, and it was like a heavenly sword being unsheathed. Even if an ordinary person looked through a piece of black cloth, he would feel an unreasonable tingling sensation.

As if it wasn't a person.

Rather, it is a supremely sharp sword that penetrates the sky and pierces the earth.

But today,

The reason why this man from the West Sea appeared in White Swan Harbor, Patton County, Kamikyoto City...

But it was because his sword was broken.

...

"Are you sure the person who can fix it is here?"

The man suddenly stopped and stared through the black cloth at the port where fishermen went out to fish in the morning and people came and went, and said to the man carrying a huge wooden box following behind him.

"That's right."

The young man carrying the huge wooden box behind him nodded and said, "Captain Udel, your sword is not an ordinary sword. It is the Tianyun Congjian, a thousand-year-old sword, Kyoto's supreme fast sword with twelve skills, which means there are only twelve in the world.

If you want to recast and restore it, you can only look for the descendants of Kamado Tsouji, a famous craftsman in Kyoto, Wano Country."

After hearing what the young man said, the middle-aged man holding a cigar in his mouth spat out his eyes and said lightly:

"'The Twelve Skills of the Supreme Sharp Sword'? Haha, what a big statement, but no matter how expensive the famous sword is, it is an honor for Captain Yoder to use it."

Hearing the middle-aged man's arrogant words, several people around him were slightly startled.

But the next second,

Even the young man who led the way to White Swan Harbor in Barton County with a huge wooden box on his back nodded approvingly.

Because this man with a handful of black cloth tied around his eyes is none other than the remaining "Four Kings of the West Sea" except "Dark Devil" Arthur Shelby and the newly promoted "Hoover Corleone"

Among the two positions, Hawke Udall is known as the "No. 1 Swordsman in the West Sea".

Unlike the "Sakamoto Lord" of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates in the East China Sea, you must know that the West Sea is the most powerful sea area among the four sea areas in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Cross Continent.

The honorable title of "The First Swordsman" above the Western Sea contains a sense of contempt for all swordsmen that is far more heroic than that of Sakamoto!

One of the Four Kings, Hawke Udel, is known as the "First Swordsman in the West Sea", but he has never relied on a supremely sharp sword, because his own sharpness is enough to break all weapons in the world.

But just a few days ago...

His knife was broken, and it was a famous knife that had just been given to him by a friend last year.

——Tian Cong Yun Sword.

At this moment, everyone in the Udel Pirates seemed to realize this while laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.

almost subconsciously,

They all looked at the man in front of them, whose face was covered with a dark veil. Some of them looked unnatural and thought about the scene that happened a few days ago when dark clouds were entrenched and it rained heavily in the evening...

...

that night,

As usual, the members of the Yodel Pirates were handing over goods to a local trading company in Baling County, more than 400 kilometers away from here, when a lazy young man suddenly walked out of a corner of the port container.

The young man was probably in his thirties, wearing a black raincoat and cloak that covered most of his face. He was holding a cigarette in his mouth, lowering his head to block the wind while lighting a fire.

At that time, they did not take it seriously. There were many young people like this in Baling County Port, and most of them were ordinary people lying flat.

During the day, you work hard in a port container. After work, you get paid and go gambling. After losing all your money, you return to the port and sleep in the container. This means that one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

Although everyone in the Yodel Pirates looked down upon such a young man, they did not ridicule him.

After all, they were wanted by the World Government on the Western Sea and it was rare for them to go ashore once, and they did not want to cause more trouble, not to mention that this time they went ashore with Captain Hawk Udall behind them.

However, what they didn't expect was that,

The young man lowered his head to block the wind and rain. After lighting the fire several times without success, he shook the lighter with some curses and muttered something about "it was a waste of time".

The next second, the other party walked straight towards their group, not caring about their pirate costumes and weapons in their hands. He just walked up to one person and patted their companion on the shoulder, saying that he wanted to lend a hand.

Regarding this bold and lazy young homeless man, everyone showed a playful expression of interest. One of them actually took out a lighter and tried to help the other person light a fire.

The other party is really holding a cigarette,

He came forward with a nonchalant expression.

But just after lighting up the cigarette and taking a deep puff and exhaling the smoke, the young man's sight passed through the layers of rain and fell quietly on the young man among them who was carrying the [Tian Congyun Sword].

At that time, he held a cigarette butt and lit it,

His tone was full of scorn, and he said, "This sword is good. I want it. I will keep the sword and leave."

I have to say,

That night, everyone present couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard the words that were similar to what they said when they were young and encountered gangsters on the street after school.

The air is full of joy.

The people living in these port containers are not good people, there are some rogue people who want to rob them along the way.

They can understand it.

But what they couldn't understand at the time was where the other party's eyes were? It was actually blackmailing them, members of the Yodel Pirates, one of the Four Kings of the West Sea.

However, the next second,

Someone's laughter stopped abruptly.

At some point, there was a knife in the man's hand. It seemed to be the sailor's scimitar on the waist of the pirate who had just lit his cigarette.

The tip of the knife was stained with blood,

Mixed with rain, it slowly gathered towards the tip of the knife and fell to the ground.

The body of the leader of the Udel Pirates who just laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward was suddenly separated into two parts from the middle. The bones were evenly swollen at the incision, and a large amount of blood rushed out crazily!

At that time, almost in just an instant, everyone in the Yodel Pirates, one of the Four Kings of the West Sea, reacted.

Several cadres each deployed their abilities on the spot, and with gnashing teeth and red eyes, they killed the young man wearing a poncho and cloak who had sneaked up on them and killed him into pieces.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Captain Udall, who rarely came ashore, stopped everyone.

Then, I saw him pull out the big sharp knife from the young man who was carrying the Tiancong Yun Sword.

One person walked forward and faced the other person.

I still remember that at that time, the man wearing a black poncho and cloak, covering most of his face, had a mixture of madness and murderous intent on his lips, and said with a half-smile:

"Haha... I didn't expect that I didn't find anyone from the Dawn Rebels in Baling County, but I also encountered an unexpected harvest. The black cloth on your face won't change into a clown mask in the dead of night, right?"

Clown mask?

They did not understand this at the time.

But the next second, the most calm captain among the Yodel Pirates.

Known as the "Greatest Swordsman in the West Sea", he is undoubtedly the uncrowned "Greatest Swordsman in the World".

Facing this crazy young man they met on this rainy night.

He actually took the initiative to draw his sword!

At that moment, the sound of wind, rain and waves in the rainy night seemed to have disappeared.

There is a saying that "Spring and Autumn pass by at a glance".

Used to describe the scene on that rainy night,

I'm afraid it couldn't be more appropriate.

The Four Kings of the West Sea, Hawke Udel, known as the "Greatest Swordsman in the West Sea", struck out with a sword, and the lazy but crazy young man only struck out once.

Amidst the harsh blast of Jin Ge.

Immediately, there was a crisp sound of "stuck", and the [Tian Congyun Sword], one of the twelve skills of the supreme sharp sword in Hawk Udell's hand, was cut into two pieces from the middle.

——This is also the morning of this morning a few days later,

It is now in the rectangular sword box slung behind the young man's back.

But even though a few days have passed.

Even pirates in extremely dangerous waters like the West China Sea are used to a precarious life.

The pirate cadres of the Udel Pirates who survived the senseless disaster at the port that night, every time they think of the smile that mixed madness and murderous intent on the corners of their mouths when the other party kills people, their hearts tremble slightly involuntarily.
