Chapter 314: Transaction

Water 7, an abandoned artificial dock.

"Shave."

A figure flashed by rapidly, the wind pressure brought by the figure blowing up a wisp of smoke and dust.

This figure was extremely fast, but the control over direction wasn't very good, rushing straight toward a giant rock.

With a *bang*, the figure slapped onto the giant rock like a pancake, staggered a few steps, and sat on the ground with a *plop*.

Su Xiao shook his head. The speed of Shave was too fast; he couldn't control this kind of speed.

After two days of practicing without eating or sleeping, he finally mastered Shave initially.

Mastering Shave initially wasn't difficult, but it was very difficult to use Shave in actual combat; that required long-term adaptation, good control of the distance, speed, angle, etc., of the forward rush.

After mastering Shave initially, Su Xiao had a certain degree of understanding of "Shave." This move was actually using the reaction force to rush toward the enemy. Used well, it was a god-tier move for killing; used poorly, it was a god-tier move for delivering one's head.

When using Shave, the most difficult thing is to see what is in front, and that fleeting perspective makes it very difficult for people to adapt.

Patting the dust off his body, Su Xiao checked the skill list, and there was now an extra skill.

Six Powers · Shave: Lv. 1 (Active Skill)

Skill effect: Move 5-18 meters forward in an extremely short time, during which the movement speed reaches the maximum value of the agility attribute.

Prompt: Each use of Shave will consume 20 points of stamina. Cooldown time 30 seconds (Because the Hunter mastered Shave through self-study, it can be forcibly used continuously, but continuous forced use will cause a certain degree of damage to the lower limbs).

Moving forward at high speed is the main function of Shave, but one thing made Su Xiao very confused: what is stamina? He only had HP and mana, and had never heard of stamina.

After inquiring with the Reincarnation Paradise, he learned that stamina is derived from the stamina attribute and is an invisible value, but he could feel it himself.

Everyone has stamina, and they consume it inadvertently in life. When stamina is very low, people will feel fatigue, and when stamina is below 2 points, people will become exhausted.

Su Xiao understood what stamina was—it was his endurance and physical fatigue.

It seemed that excessive use of Shave would lead to exhaustion, and because the level of Shave was too low, it couldn't be used continuously.

Su Xiao didn't care about these. In the Pirate World, he wouldn't easily use Shave. The level of Shave was too low, and using it in actual combat now was just looking for death.

If he wanted to integrate Shave into his combat system, he needed to return to the Reincarnation Paradise and raise the level of Shave to a certain degree, at least level 5, or even higher.

The training of Shave came to an end. Su Xiao flexed his somewhat sore lower legs.

He had entered the derived world for five days, and tomorrow was the day the Straw Hat Pirates arrived on the island. If he remembered correctly, the Straw Hat Pirates started causing trouble on the day they arrived on the island, and headed to Enies Lobby the next day.

Of course, this was just the intelligence from the original work. No one knew what would happen in the derived world. Under the interference of the contractors, the plot might have a different development.

However, one thing was certain: Nico Robin would definitely be taken away by the CP9 people.

The combat power of the CP9 members was very strong. Su Xiao had the confidence to deal with one. He could also fight when facing two CP9 members simultaneously, but he could only escape when facing three. If facing more, he might not even have the chance to escape.

The strength of the CP9 members was somewhat uneven; some were very strong, and some were very average, such as Fukurou and Rob Lucci.

Su Xiao estimated that Rob Lucci could kill Fukurou in two minutes, so Rob Lucci was the one Su Xiao feared most in CP9. That guy's strength was very strong. If Su Xiao faced him, he had a 30% chance of winning.

Although the winning rate was somewhat low, Su Xiao had the hope of killing Rob Lucci. His main combat style was sword art. As long as he seized the opportunity, it was very likely he could resolve the battle in a few slashes. Rob Lucci's Iron Body was indeed strong, but Su Xiao could cut through steel very easily.

While thinking, Su Xiao walked in front of the residential houses in Water 7. There were many civilians returning from a day's work around him. Although they were tired, happiness flowed between their brows. Being able to live in peace and contentment in the Pirate World was itself a kind of luck.

The sun on the horizon was level with the sea, and large patches of burning clouds appeared at the junction of the sky and the sea. Golden sunlight shone from behind the clouds, and the entire Water 7 was rendered into pale gold.

This warm color made one feel comfortable in body and mind. Su Xiao traveled through Water 7 and arrived at an abandoned warehouse.

Many empty wooden crates were piled up in the warehouse, and intricate routes were formed between the empty wooden crates.

Su Xiao jumped onto a pile of wooden crates. There were over a dozen wooden crates piled up here, and he could overlook the situation in the surroundings. Bubu Wang also jumped onto the wooden crates and sat behind Su Xiao.

Su Xiao sat on the wooden crates and lit a cigarette, seemingly waiting for something.

After about half an hour, footsteps came from outside the warehouse, and a female secretary with a slender figure walked into the warehouse.

Kalifa stopped her footsteps after walking into the warehouse. The pale golden sunset shone into the warehouse from the warehouse door. On the pile of wooden crates opposite the main entrance of the warehouse, a man was smoking.

In the dim warehouse, the man's face was somewhat unclear, but Kalifa could see those pitch-black eyes clearly.

"I brought what you wanted."

Kalifa raised the sword bag in her hand; there was clearly a long sword inside.

*Zzz—*.

The sound of the metal wire contracting came. A pulling force came from Kalifa's hand, and after her hand became empty, the sword bag flew up out of thin air.

Su Xiao grabbed the sword bag, untied it, and inside was a sheathed long sword. Confirming that this sword was a Skillful Grade sword, he put the long sword away.

"I have already done as agreed, remove the bomb immediately."

Kalifa's tone was urgent. She was very, very hungry now. She had relied on fruit juice and liquid food for the past few days, and she didn't dare to drink too much, fearing that a full stomach would trigger the bomb, in which case she would die too unjustly.

"No."

Su Xiao refused flatly. Kalifa's masseter muscles protruded, and her beautiful face appeared somewhat ferocious.

"You faithless guy, I'll fight you to the death."

Kalifa flashed, and when she appeared again, she was already below the pile of wooden crates. It was Shave.

"I faithless? It's you. Earlier, I told you to come alone."

Su Xiao didn't look at Kalifa. The alchemy bomb in Kalifa's body hadn't expired yet and could be triggered at any time. His gaze was fixed on the direction of the warehouse door.

"Kalifa, calm down."

A low man's voice came from outside the warehouse. A man at least two meters tall stood outside the warehouse door; it was Rob Lucci.

Su Xiao slowly stood up from the wooden crates and pressed his hand on the hilt of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

*Clang. *

The sword body and the scabbard rubbed against each other, emitting a sharp metallic sound. Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan shone with cold light in the dim warehouse.

Su Xiao looked sideways at Kalifa. What did she mean by this? She clearly brought the Skillful Grade sword, but she also brought others. With Kalifa's intelligence, she shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

That left only one possibility.

"So... you came with 'sincerity', not for a transaction."

In the afterglow of the sunset, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's mouth. ===== CHAPTER 315 =====
