Fifty-Nine. Obfuscation: Swordsmanship to Deceive
In addition to Ulma and Drake at the wine table, there is also Barron, a nobleman of the kingdom, and Chitila, a reporter from the Beihai branch of the World Economic News.
After drinking several large glasses of wine, Drake couldn't help but ask Dawn, "Do you know who is the little old man who fought with me to the end today?"
"You know?" Dawn pretended to be puzzled, of course he had to pretend he didn't know.
"The cadre of the Doflamingo family, Rao G." Drake nodded, his impression of the cadres of the Doflamingo family was quite deep, "This is a group of lawless pirates, especially Dover After Brother Lang Ming became Qiwuhai, he became even more aggressive."
"Why, do you want to catch him?" Dawn asked with a smile, but he thought in his heart, that old guy is not weak, but regardless of how old Rao G is, Diweng Quan can be said to be the representative of the older and stronger .
The older he gets, the more demon he might be talking about, a little old man like Rao G.
"I'm a navy, why don't I catch a pirate..." Drake snorted.
"Yes... it's your navy's job to catch pirates..." Dawn just smiled and shook his head, picked up the glass and touched the glass with Chitila, the beautiful woman sitting next to him, and then drank it. After doing everything, he continued: "I'm just a businessman, and it has nothing to do with me."
Drake drank a glass of wine, looked at him and sneered: "You Reinhardt is not an ordinary businessman, I heard that even the battle captain of the North Sea Aubrey Pirates was cut to death by your sword. ."
"This is not something ordinary businessmen can do." Drake stared at him, hoping to see some flaws in his eyes.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, Ulma had a big head, and Drake was a navy recruit who was specially explained by the superior. Naturally, he couldn't treat him like an ordinary navy recruit, but he confronted Dawn directly when he came up, which not only made him confused What is the reason, and more importantly, he is vaguely worried that after this guy Drake arrives, will he understand a lot of his wealth-gathering activities on Kadan Island in the North Sea? If he finds out, will he? report to the top.
Dawn didn't understand why Drake was so hostile when he saw him for the first time, so he answered Drake's indifferent eyes: "If a businessman wants to do business, he always needs some pirates' awe-inspiring strength, otherwise Otherwise, the goods will be killed and robbed by the pirates before they go out to sea."
Derek paused, this guy's speech was impeccable, and he seemed to be very difficult to deal with.
He had just met Reinhardt for the first time, and he felt a sense of depression in his heart. Thinking that this guy had such a big foundation in just a few months, Drake felt that things must not be as simple as they appear. The businessman on the surface, the Polkayan civilian hero, has such a close relationship with Ulma that even the security of the wine club is helped by the navy.
"I'm the Navy, and I hope you can always be a businessman who obeys the rules." Drake had nothing to say, a warning.
"Sir, are all the current navy recruits so good?" Dawn smiled as if jokingly at Ulma, and Ulma smiled awkwardly to smooth things out: "Come on, come on, after this cup, everyone will have to cooperate well in the future. Woolen cloth."
"Cooperation for what?" Drake asked suddenly, watching Dawn and Ulma warily.
"Of course we are working together to fight against pirates. Did you know that Mr. Reinhardt aided the Kadan branch with a lot of funds to fight against pirates."
"I see." Drake couldn't help but glance at Dawn. Dawn didn't expect that Drake, who has become a naval admiral ten years later, has such a strong sense of justice at this young stage. What is it like? The accident caused him to betray the navy without hesitation...
"I hope to have a duel between swordsmen with Mr. Reinhardt." Drake paused, and said abruptly, he wanted to see the man who could defeat the swordsman Hiz, was he really like that? Rumors are so powerful.
Drake was serious, not joking.
"Yes, but there is no need for a duel. Let's play a little game, how about a duel?" Dawn laughed, looking at Drake and said.
"Small game?" Drake didn't understand, and saw Dawn bring a candle five centimeters thick and ten centimeters long from the other side, and then lit it.
"Who can cut the candle with a sword without letting the candle go out, even if he wins, so what?" Dawn took the lit candle to the empty table next to it.
Drake laughed: "So easy?"
As he spoke, he took out the long sword from his waist and walked to the candle.
"I haven't finished yet." Dawn added, "The point is not to let the candle light shake."
The light of the candle can't be shaken... Drake looked at him in a daze, "Are you joking? The sword wind alone is enough to extinguish the fire."
Dawn shook his head and smiled: "Can't you do it? Then you lose."
"Come on, let's keep drinking."
Chitila opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Dawn's cheerful expression, so she covered her mouth and laughed. He seemed to be teasing Drake, which was really interesting.
I have also known Dawn for a period of time, and always feel that Dawn will often say very strange but very interesting things. He once told himself that he is going to serialize a story called Monkey King on the Beihai section of Shijingbao. Although She didn't agree to him, but she was attracted by the story of the Great Sage Monkey King in Dawn's mouth.
The dawn now, like a mass of gravitational pull, drew Chitira.
"Wait," Drake gave Dawn an angry look, "I can't do it, but neither can you."
"Let's have a fair duel, don't play these clever tricks."
"Who said I couldn't do it." Dawn looked at him with wide eyes, seeing that all his eyes were full of doubts, so he smiled: "Boy, let you experience the peerless swordsmanship of the great Lord Reinhardt. "
Everyone at the wine table stared at the burning candle with wide eyes. Dawn gently walked to the front of the candle, his right hand tightened the jackdaw in his left waist, and then he pressed the tiger hat on his head, and then lightly Whistle softly, shhh...
As soon as the sound rang out, Dawn's right hand suddenly moved, and the light flashed, the jackdaw was inserted into the scabbard, and there was a rustling sound.
The speed of drawing the knife alone surprised everyone present. Drake kept staring at the candle, but from beginning to end, not only did the candle not move at all, but the flames burning on it did not shake at all.
But just now I clearly saw the subtle sound of the blade unsheathed, and the light flashed by the electric flint is the light and shadow reflected by the blade.
"What's this?" Drake couldn't help sneering, watching Dawn play tricks.
"Go and have a look, boy." Dawn said with her head held high.
Drake was stunned for a moment, looking at Dawn's confident expression, so he approached the candle and touched it lightly with his fingers. A smooth pattern appeared in the center of the candle, and then he squeezed the upper half of the candle with his fingers. The candle split in two from the middle.
This... Drake was surprised, everyone present was very surprised, how could this be done?
Dawn couldn't help but feel great joy in his heart. In fact, he didn't cut it off at all. Everything was just a trick. He cut the candle in advance and glued it on with a special method. However, Drake didn't check the candle carefully before. Shang Dawn's talent for acting was good, and he couldn't see any flaws at all, so he thought it was cut off with a sword just now.
Cutting the candle with a sword blade so that the flame does not go out is not difficult in Drake's view, but at the same time cutting the candle, the flame of the candle will not shake at all. This is not something that can be done with strong swordsmanship. The most important thing is that the control of the blade has reached an extremely subtle state.
He didn't believe that Dawn had this kind of swordsmanship ability, but what happened in front of him told him that this guy could really do it.
"You won." Derek returned to the table angrily, raised his glass and drank without saying a word.
