“But it’s a hassle to let you stay on this ship. I hope you are good at swimming.”
The pressure on the people on the deck that was just pressed by the invisible force dissipated in an instant, but before they could come to their senses, their bodies flew up uncontrollably and then fell into the waves.
This place is not too far from the location of Huazaki Island. If the physical fitness is not bad, it is not a problem to swim back.
But before these people left far, warships appeared in the sea in the distance and fired at the ship where Tezoro and his friends were.
“This farewell firework… is not very friendly.”
Yixiao’s ears moved, and his white eyes looked in the direction of the artillery attack.
None of those shells could hit the target, and all of them sank into the sea inexplicably halfway.
After that, Yixiao thought for a moment and released an invisible wave towards his head.
It seemed that nothing happened, but a meteor floating in the starry sky was attracted by an unknown force and crashed into the blue planet.
Soon, a ray of light flashed in the sky, and the meteor dragged a long tail flame and accurately hit the warship.
This is the application of the ability of the Yixiao fruit. After eating the superhuman-type heavy fruit, he can control the intensity and direction of gravity, and can also make people float in an anti-gravity way.
There are some similarities with the floating fruit of the golden lion, but there is a big difference. Things touched by the golden lion do not need to consume much physical strength to stay suspended in the sky, but Yixiao has to spend physical strength to control gravity.
The heavy fruit does not require physical contact. Just like just now, even a meteorite far away in the starry sky can be pulled down directly by Yixiao. Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses.
“Okay, Mr. Tezoro, it’s safe now, but I’m afraid we have to rely on ourselves to sail the ship.”
Yixiao knocked the deck with the handle of the knife. This was not a rigid need to activate the ability, but just Yixiao’s habit. As the gravity changed, the ship also floated forward like the ghost ship.
Tezoro was still chatting and laughing with Yixiao. All this was within his expectations. If he didn’t have this ability, it wouldn’t be worth it for Yixiao to make this trip.
Bakara’s worldview was under attack. She was still young now. In an ordinary world, she would be a high school student.
The hidden power in this blind man who likes gambling was beyond Bakara’s imagination. Yixiao, who had such a powerful power, was willing to abide by the rules without any restrictions.
This is even more puzzling. Although Yixiao is really blind, from the situation he just took action, Bakara thinks that this blind man is pretending to be blind.
What makes Bakara even more curious is that the country that Yixiao defended was destroyed, and Yixiao became the final war criminal.
Although Bakara is not a combatant, she has also seen big scenes in Piltover and the battles of those strong men.
In addition to systematic learning, Bakara knows very well that these strong men are not achieved overnight.
To become such a strong man, the “shelf life” is very long. If the dream is not shattered by others, they can maintain their peak for decades.
In this case, even if they are old and weak, the peak combat power can still be “alive”.
Yixiao can’t be the kind of person who did nothing eleven years ago and worked as a bodyguard in the casino for a few years but his strength has changed qualitatively. There is no doubt that he became the army commander of the Kingdom Army because of this monster-like strength.
People who can pull meteorites down on the battlefield, like natural ability users, represent natural disasters.
Bakara didn’t ask Yixiao directly. When Tezoro and Yixiao talked about this issue before, Yixiao obviously avoided the previous things.
However, after Yixiao and Tezoro separated, she still asked Tezoro this question,
“What do you think was the reason for the fall of Cangguo?”
“Yes, what opponent made Mr. Yixiao unable to fight?”
“I don’t know very well, but Bakara, the most solid fortress is often breached from the inside. From some of the leaked information, this matter is related to the internal affairs of Cangguo and the large-scale conscription of the World Government.”
After the war on the top, the World Government carried out a large-scale conscription around the world in order to quickly replenish the missing soldiers of the Navy.
It was the largest-scale conscription, but it was not the first on the sea.
Basically, there will be a conscription every so often, and the scale will be slightly different depending on the situation of the sea.
This kind of conscription can strengthen the overall strength of the Navy, and make the factions within the Navy less tight, which is more conducive to the rule of the World Government.
While replenishing troops to fight pirates, it can also weaken the strength of member countries, making them more dependent on the navy and the world government, so that they can work harder to raise the sky gold and the navy’s attendance expenses.
The scope of world conscription is not just ordinary people, but also the armies of various countries. Some countries will even be drawn up in an organized manner.
Kaido was also abandoned by his country in the past, and he planned to use him as a bargaining chip in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the World Conference.
Tezoro used to be just a small gangster, thinking about how to make money. Now that he has a high status, he has seen more things.
Slowly, he found that the behavior of the world government is sometimes weird, but they all follow the same essence, keeping the sea in chaos and increasing the dependence of various countries on the world government.
Cang Country is just an example, a microcosm on the sea.
If your country is not strong enough, it may become the second Cang Country in the future. In order to make your country stronger,
Now that his life is more stable, Tezzolo is contributing to the construction of Piltover in his own way.
Although the ship returning from Hanazha Island often had deviations in its route, it turned around and finally returned to Firefly Island smoothly.
Mr. Laughter, here we are.
“Well, I can feel it. It is a very peaceful country… and also very special…:”
Yixiao’s sight range is very large, so large that it can capture the location of meteorites in the starry sky, turning the falling meteorites into precision-guided attacks.
People are still on the boat, but the sight of a smile has enveloped the entire dock, and countless vague movements are at work.
Although you can’t see their expressions, you can feel their expectations for the future from their movements and smiles.
When this sentiment is not an isolated case but exists in everyone, the country will have endless hope.
Take… take…
The blind cane made a regular sound when it hit the ground, but Baccarat had no intention of helping her.
After so many days on the ship, she had already determined that the reason why Yixiao used a blind stick to explore the way was entirely to fit in with the character of a blind person, and there was no need for external assistance at all.
“Meow~”
Along with a cat meow, Yixiao noticed that a cat wrapped its tail around his blind stick, as if it wanted to lead him the way.
“This is.
“It’s the police cat of Piltover, a type of cat that is unique to the local area. It is very intelligent and serves as an assistant to the police force. If you have any difficulties, you can ask the police force for help. If you have a small matter, you can also ask these cats for help.
It should feel that… you are unique. “
Tezzolo knelt down and gestured with the kitten for a while, and then the cat left. In fact, disabled people are quite rare in Piltover.
Most of the disabled people here have undergone prosthetic surgery, and the remaining few are seeking medical treatment from outside and are still scheduling surgery.
Although prosthetic eye surgery is more difficult and the prosthesis is more expensive, it is not impossible.
“Speaking of which, Mr. Yixiao, do you have any thoughts about seeing the light again? This is a joining benefit. With King Oran’s technical level, it is not difficult.”
“No, this is my own choice. Right now, I’m not ready to see the world again.”
Yixiao’s eyes kept looking at the direction in which the police cat left earlier, as if he was regretting something.
“Let’s go, Mr. Yixiao. There are still many cats on the island. If you like cats, you can go to the cat cafe later. Now it’s time to meet King Oran.”
There is naturally no such process for ordinary employees to join the company. For example, Monet has never met Olan, and Olan has no intention to care about such trivial matters.
But for people with special talents like Tom, Olan would still talk to them alone.
Moreover, Yixiao also told Tezzolo after signing the employment letter that he wanted to chat with the future king.
“Well, it’s indeed time to pass. His Majesty the King must have been waiting for a long time.”
With a smile, he could feel the different atmosphere in the air. From the moment he landed on the island, he noticed the atmosphere emanating from the palace as the center.
The looming sight and sound.
“Your Majesty Oran, this is Yixiao. As I reported to you before, I have invited him back from Hanazha Island. From now on, he will also be a member of our kingdom’s army.
I still have work over there, so I won’t disturb you. ‘
Tezzolo bowed and bowed before exiting the palace hall. On the surface, only Olan and Yixiao remained there.
It’s true that Yixiao signed the employment letter, but people of this level have always had a two-way choice.
The casino can let Yixiao act as a bodyguard if he volunteers, but there is no way to make Yixiao work for them. Until the critical moment, Yixiao will not take action at all.
When someone “wins” Yixiao through gambling, Yixiao will no longer have to worry about anything.
This kind of situation of listening to the tune but not the announcement is undoubtedly not good. Whether it is openly rebelling, covertly rebelling, or rebelling at any time, it is a torturous thing to appear under the subordinates.
Therefore, some things must be said after all.
“Your Excellency Yixiao, let’s call you that for now. Do you have anything to ask?”
“I already had the answers to most of the questions on the way here. The lives of the people are the best answer. But I still have some questions.
I had heard about Piltover back then and knew how special it was. So, what do you think of the system of the King’s Shichibukai? “
“The world government is a system derived from a balanced system, in which members all act for their own interests, and Piltover is no exception.
This system only came into being because of the situation at that time. When the situation changes, this system will be eliminated sooner or later. “
Yixiao nodded. If he could ask these questions, he would naturally have his own answers. Now he was just comparing the relative properties.
“Then another question, and the final question, King Oran, where do you think justice exists now? Can the navy, which takes justice as its banner, be able to bear the name of justice now?”
Yixiao’s eyes were still pale, but now he looked at Oran quite seriously. After the Cang Kingdom was destroyed and he was labeled as a war criminal, this was what Yixiao was thinking about.
“Justice exists, but every group has its own stains. There are people in the navy who deserve the name of justice, but the entire navy is not.
Justice is the banner of the navy, but the essence of the navy is a violent agency, a violent agency that maintains the world government.
Their justice stance does not represent the majority of people on the sea, but represents the order and stability of the world government, so they need a change.”
“Order…stability…”
The order may not be correct, but people in the navy will not feel that they are unjust. In a sense, the world government is the most powerful pirate group on this sea.
They are essentially the same as the current Four Emperors. They protect the residents under the flag by collecting protection fees, and everything outside the sphere of influence can be eliminated.
“Different positions lead to different definitions of justice. Your question lacks practical significance, Lord Yixiao. History is written by the victors, and no matter what, the victors must be just.
If you want to practice your ideals, you must become a victor.”
“Then King Oran, what do you think the future will be like here?”
“That is the answer that only time can give, but I don’t think it will disappoint. You asked me so many questions, and I also have a question for you.
Tezoro said that you “closed” your eyes by yourself, because there are too many dirty and vulgar people in the world that are unbearable to look at, but even so, they still exist. You have avoided them for so long, have you achieved your goal?”

Yixiao did not speak. His behavior was not a kind of escape from a corner, but Oran told another story.
“I have a friend who lived in a peaceful land until a group of invaders came to their homeland.
And his time also showed a different direction at this moment.
My friend is a special monk. In one of the timelines, he protested the invasion of the enemy by self-immolation. If his companions had not helped him put out the fire in time, his life would have ended.
But even so, he was still blinded by the fire. However, it was a blessing in disguise. He also gained another power. After realizing that the protest was ineffective, he embarked on the road of armed resistance.
In another timeline, he did not self-immolate, but awakened the powerful power in his body to attack the enemy in order to protect everything he cherished. The backlash of this power also made him lose his eyesight.
Although the ending is the same, the process is completely opposite. So which one do you think he did more right?”
