Vol 4 Chapter 39: Can't make a sword

Looking up into the distance, the outline of the Red Earth Continent has appeared, and Xuan didn't consider other speeding up his own speed.
Amidst the gentle pace, the waves are surging, and a figure slowly walks out of the waves.
In the Red Earth Continent, cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the guard responsible for protecting the Tianlongren. Behind him, hundreds of hardcover warriors waited solemnly.
They are the first wave of people sent by the Five Old Stars to stop Xuan, and they are also the first group of forces to guard Mary Joa.
Basically, the holy place of Mary Gioia is in the very center of the great waterway, not far from the naval headquarters. The security issue here should be the responsibility of the naval headquarters, and it has been the case for so many years.
But this does not mean that Mary Joa does not have her own power to guard.
Although the Pirate World is dominated by the sea, and the land area is far less than the sea, the world government, as the legal power of the entire world, is still the largest authority.
In this case, its own security will not be fully handed over to the navy, and there are indeed many land-based countries in the world who are also under the orders of the world government.
Although the army did not perform in the Pirate World, its strength is not as powerful as the navy, but it does exist.
"He's here... Does it mean that Marshal Kong and the others have failed?" The guard's adjutant whispered, his tone trembling.
He didn't have any confidence in defending Mary Joa next. Even the strongest combat power of the naval headquarters had failed. What could they do?
The captain of the guard took a deep breath, "Focus, anyway, behind us is Mary Joa, we can't let him go up."
He waved his hand at the same time, "Attack!"
With an order, the heavy artillery that had already been equipped on the shore blasted out, and the gunpowder-loaded artillery blasted towards the figures in the sea with a roar, deafening for a while.
Xuan still walked towards the shore calmly, his gaze lifted, and the world was silent for a moment... The surface of the waves was calm and solidified, and every spray was clearly visible. The whirlpool and the tsunami were stagnated in the moment, making Mary Gioia’s guards alive. An unforgettable scene was presented before their eyes.
The shells stopped at the moment they approached Xuan, and the space completely stopped. One shell after another approached, one after another solidified, and panic appeared on the faces of the people on the shore. They did not expect this to happen.
The technology of Pirate World is roughly equivalent to that of the earth in the eighteenth century, and their warships and artillery are roughly the same.
The power of the "technical side" is not less than that of the "mysterious side", and it is even stronger in terms of popularity.
However, the Pirate World should be counted as the "mysterious side", which means that it is difficult for the Pirate World to make a big development in terms of technology.
It seems to pose a threat to a master of Xuan's level. Even the 21st century earth has nothing to do. Even nuclear bombs called the ultimate weapon can't hurt him at all, let alone such primitive shells.
Of course, this does not mean that Xuan Neng is invincible on the "technology side" plane. In fact, in the entire multiverse, there are many planes that simply develop technology, and their strength even makes the gods jealous.
The weapons brought about by the development of technology have also surpassed the limits of most planes. Even Xuan now, let him face something like "Two Xiang Foil" will have a headache.
The people who are thinking about the Pirate World in Xuan Min will naturally not know, even if they do, they cannot understand, they are worried about their situation at this time.
Stepping onto the red earth continent, there was a bang, and the space behind him returned to normal. The roaring sound of the waves surging into the sky, accompanied by the explosion of shells and the sound of falling water, the entire sea was chaotic.
Xuan smiled and looked at the 300 or so guards in front of him, "Are you the ones who are here to greet me? It looks like the lineup is not good. Five old stars sent you to die?"
The captain of the guard took a deep breath, and then he forced himself to calm down, and the sword was drawn out, "Sorry, your sir, Mary Joa does not welcome you... If you can, please leave."
A sardonic smile appeared at the corner of Xuan's mouth, "What if I refuse?"
"Then there is only one battle." The captain of the guard said coldly, waving the long sword in his hand.
Soldiers have their own vocations, and even if they know they can't do anything, they must rush to fight. This guard captain is obviously a qualified soldier.
And the guards are not weak, or to put it more accurately, they are very strong, very strong.
As the guards of Mary Joa, most of the three-hundred guards have the strength of majors, and as their captains and deputy captains, they have combat power that surpasses that of a lieutenant admiral.
But all of this was meaningless in front of Xuan at this time, especially when they knew what Xuan was here.
However, the lieutenant admiral's combat power is too broad, just like Smogg is a lieutenant general in the original book, and Karp is also a lieutenant general. There are too many characters in this level, and the combat power varies greatly.
In fact, Xuan has always felt that the navy should have a rank of admiral, so that the strength of the people can be more accurately distinguished.
But in the world of One Piece, the ranks of generals and generals are merged, and there are only three generals, and the rest can only become lieutenants aggrieved.
In fact, after the formation of Qiwuhai, most of Qiwuhai's strength was superior to the lieutenant general, but weaker than the general. Of course, the existence of Hawkeye is another matter. The name of the world's number one swordsman is too loud. Here it refers to most Qiwuhai.
And the captain of the guard in front of him, even if he was placed in the sea of ​​Qiwu later, would probably not be ranked lower than the top three.
"A battle, haha!" Xuan chuckled lightly, "Are you really sure that you are qualified to fight me?"
Cold sweat dripped, looking at the captain Xuan who had nothing special in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "We have our own responsibilities, and Mary Joa can't let you in."
Xuan's smile grew stronger, and he began to step forward slowly, "Interesting, then let me see your will to your duties, if you can swing a sword in your hand."
The black robe lifted lightly, and Xuan walked towards him without any intention of doing anything. It seemed that he was going to bypass him and go directly to Mary Joa.
"This guy..." The captain of the guard stared wide, holding the sword in both hands. But in the face of the figure getting closer, his hands seemed to be impregnated, and he couldn't swish this sword. ..
