Mo Jing sat cross-legged on the rocks by the sea, holding his long knife horizontally and looking at the sea quietly.

The waves hit the shore and wet his trouser legs.

But he seemed unaware.

He has complicated feelings for this ocean - he once almost felt worse than death on it, but now because of his sword skills, he feels the surging side of her life.

Life and death seem to be contained in this boundless ocean.

Everything about him seems as small as a drop of water.

Ace's prophecy seems to be coming true little by little.

Nearly two years of peaceful life were full and happy, but he always felt that something was missing.

There seems to be a hole in my heart, no matter how much happiness is put in, it will quietly escape.

Perhaps as Ace said, his heart longs for fighting and fighting.

His swordsmanship is stuck at Level 14, and there has been no progress for a long time.

No amount of "mysterious water" can improve the swordsmanship in the slightest.

He knows that what he lacks is not understanding, but accumulation!

Every five levels of swordsmanship is a hurdle,

If he wants to successfully break through to Level 15, he needs a lot of battles to confirm what he has learned and thought!

So, it’s time to set sail,

He has been thinking about it this month,

Now, there is only a suitable opportunity...

"Mo Jing! Where are you?!"

A childish voice sounded in panic in the distance.

"Help, Mo Jing, the pirates are coming!"

Mo Jing's fingers paused slightly,

Perhaps, the time has come!

This is a beach on the edge of the forest. Because it is too dangerous, most people will not come here.

This is especially true for the little brats in town.

Now that a little guy came here in a panic, Mo Jing immediately believed most of her words.

He jumped onto the shore in a few steps and picked up a little girl with braided hair:

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly!"

After the little girl's confusing description, he quickly figured out what happened.

It turns out that a few hours ago, a pirate ship disguised as a merchant ship docked and entered the town of Imro.

They killed the phone bug in the mayor's house,

As a result, the town suddenly lost the ability to connect to the nearby naval branch.

Now these vicious guys are searching for money from every house.

The reason why the little girl knows that Mo Jing is here is because today happens to be the day when merchant ships arrive in Imro to purchase milk.

Darta and Albus Ken are both helping out at the docks.

It was Albus Ken who asked her to come to Mo Jing quickly.

After hearing this, Mo Jing patted her little head gently and asked her to go to the dairy farm to take refuge first.

Then he whistled,

A golden thread came out of the forest and fell on his shoulder.

The palm-sized golden-browed swift (a species unique to the One Piece world) sometimes lowers its head to peck twice, sometimes tilts its head to look at Mo Jing.

"It's time to go to sea, Zoe!"

Zhuoyi is a pet that Mo Jing unexpectedly adopted two months ago. He usually keeps it in the forest, but now Mo Jing plans to take it out to sea with him.

"But before that, I have to clean up the garbage at home first!"

Zhuoyi seemed to understand what Mo Jing meant and flew into the sky.

Behind the fleeting figure, there seemed to be a few sparks scurrying around in the chaotic airflow.

……

Imro Town,

The main road, which has gradually become more prosperous in recent years, is now occupied by a group of vicious pirates.

The panicked townspeople hid on both sides of the street.

There was only a thin figure standing in the middle of the road like a stone.

——Albus Ken!

Just like when he was in the Navy, he stood up immediately, even though he only had a temporary pitchfork in his hand.

"Old man, do you want to die if you dare to block the way of my "poisonous dolphin" Luo Siben?"

The short, stocky man laughed wildly from a distance.

Under his spiked afro, there are a pair of vicious little eyes, a long pointed nose, and lips as thick as sausages.

Once he gets angry, his expression is as terrifying as if some aquatic creature has climbed onto the shore!

Full of deterrence!

Behind him, a group of pirate cadres in strange clothes and grinning faces were lined up in a V-shape, and they were all crooked and unlike human beings!

They were like low-quality shaking electric fans that they bought from nowhere. They all tilted their heads, drooled, and scanned the street 180 degrees 24/7 with their ferocious eyes.

The townspeople on both sides were so frightened that they trembled.

Abi from a few days ago was among them.

Ken didn't get out of the way,

When a navy decides to stand up, the consideration is never life or death, losing or winning... but justice!

At least that's what he thinks.

He clenched the pitchfork in his hand and whispered to his granddaughter who was shaking like a frightened deer behind him:

"Let's go, Dada, go find Mo Jing and don't come back!"

But Dada held on to the wooden stick in her hand, unwilling to leave.

She knows what leaving means, and more than one person has already gone to find Mo Jing.

Everyone in the town knows that Mo Jing’s sword skills are good.

After all, everyone has seen him perform,

In the hearts of the people of Imro Town,

Those fish killers who can handle even big fish should be the most capable people in town.

Mo Jing is the most powerful one among them!

However...

Chi!!

Blood spilled on the ground.

Without warning, Yabi raised the hacksaw in his hand and knocked a man hiding on the roadside to the ground.

Judging from his outfit, he is a fish killer!

"You were glaring at me just now!" He said fiercely.

The man's neck was almost split in half. His eyes widened and he was about to say something.

But he heard a weird laugh from Yabi, and the big knife was smashed down like a giant stick again!

"Go to hell!"

This time it’s just the back of the knife!

Bang!!

The long street is in chaos!

The townspeople who had remained calm before were screaming and were at a loss!

"Asshole!!"

At the same time, several strong men stood up from the crowd angrily, drew out their sharp fish-killing knives and rushed towards the pirates!
To be continued...
