In the clearing, Alex stood there, holding two wide-blade short swords, looking alert.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Suddenly, countless cards shot towards this side, surrounding Alex and spinning toward his body.

"Sharp fast."

The next moment, Alex's hands seemed to disappear, and bright silk threads appeared in the open space, connecting each card. After a moment of stagnation, the cards were divided into two and slowly fell to the ground.

puff.

A bloody mouth appeared on Alex's cheek, his body stagnated, showing a discouraged look, "Failed again."

“It’s already very good.”

Peijin walked over from a distance and said, "Twenty cards, you can cut nineteen cards, which is a big improvement."

"But it's not enough, so it's not the match for that woman."

When Alex thought of the battle at that time, he could not compare with that woman with speed. He eliminated the movement speed, whether it was fighting skills or shooting speed, he was far from her.

At this time, Alex also discovered his weakness and began to conduct special training.

"Let's practice with me for a while."

Alex said to Pekin.

"good."

Pekin raised his hands and shot cards towards Alex one by one. Some rotated horizontally, some rotated vertically, some shot straight, some circled and attacked from behind, and some fell from above.

“Poker Storm.”

Alex looked at the attacking playing cards, took a deep breath, and his eyes captured each card, judging the order of their arrival, and then set off his sword again with both hands.

Whoosh.

In just a moment, two playing cards were cut open, but at the moment of cutting, a fire suddenly appeared.

"Um?"

Alex was shocked and beat down, and a card was struck by his waist, and then the other cards stopped and slowly flew back.

"What happened to that move just now?" Alex asked curiously: "Why are there flames?"

"white phosphorus."

Pekin said proudly, "Some cards are filled with white phosphorus inside, and the local temperature reaches forty degrees can burn."

“Very awesome moves.”

Alex recalled the scene of the battle just now, "It can have unexpected effects when fighting."

"But the power is still too small against real strong people."

Pekin said: "I was thinking about how to develop stronger moves, but I'm going to attack later."

"good."

Alex and Peggin practiced for a while, with tiny wounds on their bodies. They stopped until the sun sets.

"Go back."

Alex and Pekin returned to the stone house together. Xia Qi and Hailei were cooking. Pekin immediately leaned over and asked, "Let me see what food is there."

“Beef stewed with potatoes.”

Pei Jin had an unknown premonition, opened the pot next to him and said dissatisfiedly: "It's curry again today."

"There is no ingredients, you can only do this."

Xia Qi glared at him and said, "Some of them are good to eat, so many things."

"yes."

Hailei said: "If you don't like it, don't eat it later."

“Eat, eat.”

Peijin said, but muttered, "It's amazing to cook, and the husband and wife are still following."

"What did you say?"

Hailei and Xia Qi both stared at Pei Jin, scaring him to shrink his head.

"Are we just allowed to stay in this desolate place?"

Pei Jin stood at the door of the stone house, looked around in disgust, and said, "I'm tired of staying here.

“We have only two or three islands to live in.”

Alex said: "If you leave rashly, you will easily be discovered by the enemy."

"When will it be the head?"

Pei Jin said dissatisfiedly: "I dare not show my head here. I can only hide like a mouse. I occasionally go out to harass you. It's really boring."

"Feel sorry."

"If it weren't for my hatred, everyone wouldn't have to do this."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Pekin quickly said, "I just think we should fight them head-on."

"But they are too strong."

Alex said: "We are not our opponents. But just stick with it. In half a year, Allen will be back. By that time, we will not have to cover up our trails and go to the great route."

"It's half a year left."

Peijin sighed and looked into the distance, where there were two figures, with fur hats in front and a white bear behind, which was Luo and Bebo.

Bebo walked closer with a bucket in his hand. Peijin saw the stuff in the bucket, "Fish, have you gone fishing?"

"Catched a few fish."

Luo said: "Grill fish in a while and improve the food."

"I'll go and make a fire."

Pekin licked his lips and went to work immediately, and Alex made a move.

When the sun sets, they sit around the stove, holding a tray with the served potato, beef, curry rice.

"beer."

Alex gave the beer to the others, who were drinking and eating grilled fish, but were silent on each other.

This kind of life has lasted almost a year, and it is even more boring than being on Feiyan Island. I hide from each other and don’t know when it will end.

"What kind of person is the one you mentioned called Allen?"

Hailei suddenly asked, "I think you all trust him very much."

"He saved my life." Luo paused and said, "I would have died without him."

"Me too."

"He is my friend and my life savior," Alex said.

"My devil fruit was also obtained by the boss," Peggin said. "Of course, I would like to thank Rod and Alex for it."

"Then he is strong, right?" Hailei asked, holding his chin.

“Very strong.”

Luo said, "Better than me."

"I've beat him."

"But we haven't had a chance to compete for nearly five years. To be honest, I'm not sure about winning now."

"You guys admire him very much."

Hailei nodded and said, "I really want to meet this man named Allen."

"There will be a chance." Alex said with a smile, "I'm waiting for about half a year..."

“It’s snowing.”

Bebo suddenly spoke, and saw the fluttering snowflakes falling.

"It's still August, why is it snowing?"

Alex was a little confused, Luo raised his head and looked up, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Hurry up and avoid it."

Luo's voice sounded, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky and smashed downwards.

Whoosh.

Alex instantly soared into the air, jumped for several meters, pulled out the short sword from his waist, and ran into the figure.

Ding, ding, ding.
