King Snake General of Pirates

While Hal and Anan were practicing on the rocks, a navy soldier hurried over.

"Colonel, are you here?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Hal's voice came from the other side of the reef.

"Someone outside the base came to visit and said they were invited by you."

Hal's voice paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Ask him to come here."

The soldiers respectfully left.

On the other side of the reef, Anan looked at Hal curiously.

As far as he knew, the Naval Branch was built at the junction of the Western Military District and the Southern Military District. He had never seen anyone other than the Navy come here for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder who the colonel invited here.

"Don't worry, you'll know later." Hal pretended to be mysterious and patted his little head.

Caressing his greasy body, Hal couldn't help but shook his head. These things were too troublesome. Fortunately, he had the foresight to take off all his shirts in advance.

He had no choice but to lie in the shallows and wash his body with sea water.

The small amount of seawater in the shoal still restrained his ability and physical strength to a certain extent, but it was not to the extent that he could lose his ability to move.

after awhile.

A man walked out from the rock.

A man wearing a white round hat, white clothes, and gold-rimmed round glasses.

Matthew likes white very much. According to him, white represents purity and light. On the contrary, Hal prefers black. Black does not represent evil. It can swallow up everything dirty and ugly.

"It is very impolite to invite someone over but not go out to greet them personally and just play in the water by yourself."

"Hahaha, don't be so stingy. I'll treat you to a big dinner later."

Hal stood up from the sea water, scraped off the few oil stains on his body, and said helplessly: "I have to take a good bath before that. You can stay here for the next few days."

With the collapse of Balk and Montgomerin, most of their belongings were collected by Matthew, which not only helped him tide over the difficulties, but also spent all his efforts to build a huge city that had been completed four months ago.

The completion of the market not only gave birth to a large number of civilian businessmen with some capital to do business, accelerating the speed of economic development, but also gave nearly a thousand poor people the opportunity to work and support themselves.

Fang City has been operating for more than four months. Although the current Western Military Region cannot be said to have been completely changed, at least the living conditions of the civilians living around Fang City will not be worse than those in the Eastern Military Region or the Northern Military Region.

With Silena, Bunit and others continuing to implement decisions and provide safety protection for the city, everything is developing slowly and in an orderly manner.

Matthew looked away from Hal and noticed Anan standing next to him.

"Is this the kid with natural devil fruit abilities that you told me about?"

"Yes."

Hal said to Anan, who kept looking at Matthew out of curiosity: "He is the swordsman I specially invited to take you to practice swordsmanship. By the way, I asked him to teach you how to combine swordsmanship with Devil Fruit abilities to exert stronger power." the power of."

Anan raised his head and looked at Matthew. He had always believed Hal's words, but when he saw Matthew's elegant appearance, he was surprised by the identity of the opponent's sword master.

In his fantasy, the image of a swordsman master should be cold and cool, with a strong aura. At least people can tell that the other person is a swordsman at a glance.

But in his eyes, Matthew not only had no relevant temperament at all, but he didn't even see the sword he carried with him.

"Go and call all the soldiers who choose swordsmanship to gather in the swordsmanship room."

Anan came back to his senses from the scrutiny, nodded heavily, and trotted away from here.

"Natural system, incredible ability." Ma Xiu looked at Anan's leaving figure and suddenly laughed and said: "But I saw doubts in his eyes."

"If you don't use your famous sword, even I won't think you are a swordsman. Your appearance is too deceiving." Hal also laughed.

Regardless of the Western Military Region or the Southern Military Region, there were not many things that required Matthew to deal with, so he had more free time. Hal thought of setting up a swordsmanship training class, so he asked him to come over and impart some experience.

Matthew had gone to other sea areas to learn swordsmanship for two years and had certain attainments in it.

And now that the entire 53rd branch is under his own control, Hal is no longer as cautious in his actions as before. Allowing Matthew to have more contact with the Navy will be of great help in what he will do in the future.

Now the goal of the three of them is just to liberate the entire slum area and get rid of the gangsters entrenched in the Kingdom of Androser. After completing these two points, Hal does not intend to stay here forever.

Regardless of whether he goes to the headquarters or the branch located on the Grand Line, he will not give up on this team, so the strength of the soldiers in the team cannot be too weak.

"Not bad kid. It seems that he will definitely provide you with a lot of help in the future. Do you plan to cultivate the soldiers here into your own force?"

"Why not?"

Hal said: "The Kingdom of Androser is just a temporary place to stay. We will leave here one day and go to a larger world. After all, the three of us have never been out of the West Sea until now. If we stay here, it will inevitably... I will feel sorry.”

"So you plan to stay in the Navy?" Matthew asked.

"That's the way it is now. No matter what, the Navy is still the overlord of the sea. No matter where I go in the future, it will be a rare backer. I will not be so stupid and arrogant that I think I am invincible, and I will burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil like a pirate." I can’t bear to think that we have to rely on the navy to deal with them.”

……

The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, Hal took Matthew to the swordsmanship room and went back to the room to clean himself.

When he returned to the swordsmanship room again, he saw Matthew and less than twenty soldiers sitting opposite each other, with a row of wooden pillars placed between them.

These wooden piers were originally placed on the training ground for tired soldiers to rest after training. Matthew had people bring them in.

The first time they saw Matthew, some soldiers recognized him as the tavern owner and the owner of Fangshi in the Western Military Region. They also heard Anan say that he was the swordsman invited by the colonel to teach everyone's swordsmanship, and the soldiers became serious. stand up.

Ten wooden blocks were arranged in a row in front of him. Matthew glanced at the respectful-looking soldiers' faces one by one, raised his hand to the strongest soldier sitting at the back and said softly: "Please come up here. .”

The soldier opened his eyes wide and pointed at himself again. When he asked Matthew, he saw the other person nodding. He was very surprised when he got up and walked to the front, stood in front of Matthew and bowed.

Matthew handed him a sharp knife, pointed at one of the wooden pillars and said, "Use your knife to cut it in half."

After taking the knife and hearing Matthew's words, the strongest soldier was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and glanced at the wooden pier pointed by Matthew, and then looked at Matthew with some doubts.

To be honest, not to mention him, even Anan, who is the youngest and the skinniest in the swordsmanship room, can easily cut the wooden block in half. Their swordsmanship is not good, but their strength works wonders, and with the sharpness of the knife, It's not difficult to cut it in half.

Other soldiers, including Anan, thought so too.

Considering that the opponent was a swordsman brought by the colonel, the soldier standing in front of Matthew had no doubts. He took out the sword from the scabbard, clasped it with both hands, put his legs in the most stable standing posture one behind the other, and then raised his hands He raised the knife above his head with his arms and slashed hard at the wooden pile.

After a crisp sound.

As expected, the wooden pile was easily cut in half by the soldiers and split apart. The soldiers sitting cross-legged and watching applauded one after another, and the applause suddenly became one.

Although the soldier holding the knife didn't know the significance of this, looking at the wooden pile that he had cut in half, he still felt a little complacent that he had completed the task.

He picked up the scabbard, inserted the knife back, bowed and handed the knife back to Matthew.
