Chapter 24

Seeing this,

Nami immediately understood,

and hurriedly walked behind Li Xiao to start kneading his shoulders and massaging him.

Feeling Nami's perfectly-timed massage,

Li Xiao couldn't help but close his eyes comfortably.

This technique,

would be no problem opening a blind massage parlor in his previous life!

While Nami was kneading Li Xiao's shoulders,

she began to talk about the situation after Li Xiao left.

After Li Xiao left with the Arlong Pirates,

after a reminder from the village chief Genzo,

Nami realized,

that the highest-ranking officer of the Navy G-16 branch that Li Xiao went to was that Colonel Nezumi who colluded with pirates!

Therefore,

out of worry,

Nami drove a ship alone to the Navy G-16 branch!

However,

when she arrived at the G-16 branch,

what she saw was a mess!

A large area at the entrance of the Navy base had trees fallen and walls collapsed,

and the entire ground had collapsed several meters deep!

And inside the Navy base,

some Navy soldiers who were clearly transferred from other places were organizing the aftermath.

After some questioning,

Nami learned that,

Li Xiao had actually killed Colonel Nezumi along with the others,

and then followed the Navy hero Garp to Windmill Village.

After confirming that Li Xiao was not in danger,

Nami returned to Cocoyasi Village.

As for why she ran out again this time,

Nami didn't say,

but Li Xiao had probably guessed it!

After all,

she's a Cat Burglar!

The desire for Beli would not change under any circumstances!

After helping Nojiko take care of the orange orchard for a few days,

she probably snuck out,

and encountered the Straw Hat crew under the influence of the world's correction force.

Besides that,

judging from Nami's current situation,

she clearly hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit either!

It seems his guess before was correct,

regarding the Devil Fruit in her hand,

between eating it herself and exchanging it for Beli,

Nami should have chosen the latter!

Regarding this,

Li Xiao had no opinion.

The things had already been given away,

so how to deal with them was Nami's own business.

What's more,

for the Devil Fruit, which was an ability with absolute flaws,

Li Xiao didn't look down on it at all!

Nami didn't eat a Devil Fruit,

this was the best thing!

In fact,

Li Xiao already had the idea of passing on cultivation techniques to Nami!

However,

whether the cultivation techniques rewarded by the system were useful to people in this world,

whether they were applicable,

or whether there were any differences or side effects,

Li Xiao didn't know yet!

Plus, besides the "Purple Cloud Cleansing True Art" he was currently cultivating,

Li Xiao didn't have any other cultivation techniques,

so,

this matter couldn't be rushed for now!

While pondering,

Li Xiao suddenly reacted,

and looked up at Nami behind him, asking suspiciously:

"You wouldn't have known that I ransacked Colonel Nezumi’s treasure vault and came here to scam money on purpose, would you?"

Facing Li Xiao’s sudden question,

Nami’s movements suddenly stiffened,

and then she slowly turned her gaze toward the window,

saying to herself:

"Hey, the weather is so nice today~ Look, there are even seagulls!"

Well, it really was!

What kind of thing is this?

Getting information in advance and committing a targeted crime?

Just as Li Xiao was speechless,

Mihawk actually walked into the restaurant,

and came straight to Li Xiao,

saying to Li Xiao with a serious face:

"Your swordsmanship is very interesting, let’s have a contest!"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao’s face immediately fell!

He hadn't wanted to make a move before,

and didn't even want to expose his existence,

just because he was afraid that Mihawk would set his sights on his Sword Control Art! ===== CHAPTER 81 =====

It was simply because he feared Hawk-Eye would set his sights on his sword-controlling technique!

As the currently recognized world's greatest swordsman,

Hawk-Eye was almost uninterested in everything,

otherwise he wouldn't have chased and slashed Krieg all the way just to pass the time!

But if it involved swordsmanship,

then he couldn't sit still!

For Hawk-Eye,

the rare entertainment activity was probably comparing swords with Red-Haired!

And if he saw Li Xiao's unique sword-flying technique,

with his personality,

he would most likely not miss the opportunity to spar with Li Xiao!

Sparring once would be fine,

but he was afraid that after sparring once,

Hawk-Eye would be even more interested!

And would come to him to practice swordsmanship whenever he had nothing to do,

that would be annoying to death!

More importantly,

sparring with him,

had no benefits for Li Xiao!

For the empty name of the world's greatest swordsman,

Li Xiao had no interest at all,

he just wanted to quietly cultivate his immortality,

and that was all!

Therefore,

facing Hawk-Eye's invitation,

Li Xiao shook his head and refused without hesitation!

"I am not a swordsman, there's nothing to compare!"

However,

Hawk-Eye was exceptionally persistent,

his eyes were fixed on Li Xiao,

and he continued:

"Even if you are not a swordsman, your sword path is absolutely extraordinary!"

"Not only your unique sword technique that can be controlled remotely, but from your sword, I felt a sharp sword intent!"

"Your sword technique is very strong, let's have a battle!"

Although Li Xiao wanted to refuse,

but looking at Hawk-Eye's posture,

if he didn't agree,

he would probably raise his hand and slash at him!

In the end,

Li Xiao rubbed his eyebrows,

and nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Sigh, fine, I can spar with you, but stop at the point, and as a reward, you have to do me a favor!"

"Good, no problem!"

"You don't even ask what favor I want you to do?"

"As long as you spar with me, any favor is fine!"

"............"

Li Xiao sighed lightly,

finished the last bite of rice in the bowl,

and stood up to walk outside first.

At this time,

the seriously injured Zoro had been brought back by Luffy,

and the chefs of the sea restaurant were helping him treat his wounds,

with circles of bandages wrapping his upper body tightly!

Speaking of which,

there didn't seem to be any healing medicine in the pirate world,

except for bandages and more bandages!

Bandages for sword wounds,

bandages for gunshot wounds,

and even bandages for internal injuries!

Bandages were simply omnipotent!

Are you playing Peace Elite or something!!!

At this time,

Li Xiao and Hawk-Eye walked one after another to the ruins scattered on the sea after the pirate ships were broken, and stood opposite each other.

Seeing this, Zoro was slightly stunned.

This is,

to compare swordsmanship?

Thinking of this,

Zoro immediately cheered up,

hurriedly sat up straight,

and looked at the two people in the distance with a serious face!

And Nami also followed out,

standing on the corridor to the side,

holding the railing and looking far away at Li Xiao's position,

a look of worry flashed in her eyes.

Although she didn't have a very clear concept of Hawk-Eye's title as a Shichibukai,

but "world's greatest swordsman" was enough to explain Hawk-Eye's strength!

Although she was very confident in Li Xiao,

but facing such an opponent,

she couldn't help but feel a little worried!

Unlike the previous battle with Zoro,

when facing Li Xiao,

Hawk-Eye did not have the slightest contempt,

and directly drew the black blade on his back—Yoru!

At the same time,

Li Xiao had a thought,

and the Qing Shuang Sword slowly appeared at his side,

bursts of clanging sounds accompanied by an extremely sharp sword intent scattered from the Qing Shuang Sword!

Under the influence of the Qing Shuang Sword,

the surrounding air seemed to become cold and sharp!
