"Whewâ"
West Blue, Korni Sea.
In the high sky, a colossal warship hovered, its powerful air currents roaring endlessly.
"Hahahaha, is a blind man worth you being so cautious?" Shiki said, somewhat disapprovingly of this operation, laughing wildly. "Isn't it enough for me and Douglas Bullet to make a move?"
In his opinion, Ichiji was far too careful and cautious. For a mere blind man, he didn't hesitate to halt his cultivation and personally make a move. Moreover, he even called that monster, Edward Weevil.
"The key is that this blind man is not simple!"
Sitting on a large chair at the bow of the ship, with his legs crossed, Ichiji intertwined his fingers and shook his head slightly: "If it were just me, I wouldn't even be sure if I could defeat him. Even if I won, it would probably be a narrow victory..."
He wouldn't naively think that after defeating a mere Edward Weevil, he could truly become invincible.
"Another monster?" Shiki was somewhat disbelieving.
"So strong, even though he's blind?"
Douglas Bullet's eyes widened, a little dumbfounded andč. "Really? Is that true?"
Those who had once witnessed Ichiji and Weevil clash, knew deeply of Ichiji's true strength.
For him to say such a thing was enough to prove that blind man named Fujitora was another monster of terrifying strength!
"Don't underestimate him just because he's blind. If things go wrong, this operation might directly fail. He's a Paramecia-type Gravity-Gravity Fruit user..."
Ichiji turned his head, swept a glance at the two, and directly warned: "His Observation Haki has reached an unimaginable level. He can directly 'hear' the movements of flowing clouds and lightning in the sky, and even precisely lock onto meteors in space, directly pulling them down with gravity waves to attack targets..."
"Space? Sounds very far away?" Edward Weevil, who was sitting directly on the floor like a fat sphere beside him, scratched his head, clearly unable to comprehend the meaning of space.
"Meteors in space..."
"That's a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? Can he really hit them?"
But Shiki and Bullet were different. They were directly startled and found it a bit hard to believe.
Just the range of his Observation Haki alone, being able to directly lock onto meteors in spaceâthis is not just an exaggeration; it's simply terrifying!
"When you truly see it, you'll know the terrifying aspects of that monster. The main reason for you, Shiki, and Douglas Bullet coming along is to end the battle as quickly as possible, to avoid exposing ourselves and drawing the attention of the World Government..."
Standing up and looking down at the clouds rushing past below, Ichiji knew that the two didn't quite believe him. After all, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes before. It was indeed hard to imagine such an exaggerated fellow, even though he himself hadn't seen the opponent either: "When we get close to that island, try not to speak anymore. I'm actually a little worried that fellow's exaggerated Observation Haki might directly eavesdrop on our conversation, stirring up trouble..."
Although Shiki's true strength was still insufficient, with the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, he could remotely control the enemy.
After all, the development level of the Float-Float Fruit's ability directly inherited from Golden Lion Shiki's original height. Even if it was slightly inferior in application, the gap was not as large as in swordsmanship.
He had never thought of fighting the opponent one-on-one, taking several days and nights to determine a winner.
...
Three hours later.
A small island, standing silently.
The entire warship mysteriously disappeared into thin air.
"Big or small wager..."
"Act faster, hurry up and place your bets!"
"Buy and let go, buy and let go..."
In a somewhat ordinary small town, in a certain gambling house.
A large group of gamblers crowded together, continuously placing bets on the gambling table in front of them, appearing somewhat noisy.
Among the gamblers, a slightly old man with black short hair, wearing a light purple yukata, with a ring of beard around his mouth, and clutching a bamboo staff in his right hand, somewhat leisurely placed all the money in his hand on "small": "For this round, this old man is still betting on small."
What was shocking was that he had an "X"-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead, which had directly cut across both his eyes, and he was still blind.
"Old blind man, you're betting on small, hahaha..."
"It's already been small three times in a row, and you still dare to bet on it. How annoying!"
"You're just giving this old man money, so I'll gladly accept it..."
A group of gamblers couldn't help but burst into laughter, because it had already been small several times in a row, and they felt it couldn't possibly be so coincidental this time.
"Thank you for your concern, this old man's luck has always been good!" Ignoring the mockery of those gamblers and the gambling house, the old man sat there with his eyes tightly closed, smiling slightly, unmoved.
Suddenly, he raised his head, his face towards the coastline.
"Strange..." He opened his pale, somewhat frightening, blind eyes, as if sensing something, and whispered with undetectable suspicion.
Above the coastline east of the small island.
Three figures appeared out of thin air, descending from high altitude.
Both Ichiji and Edward Weevil were directly equipped with Germa technology shoes, and landed directly on the coastline.
"Are you sure he's on this island?" Ichiji held the Den Den Mushi and directly asked Perona, who was far away in the Grand Line: "Did I leave any traces? I don't want to be targeted by the World Government after this..."
"Don't worry, I won't easily leave any traces. Those who know have already been dealt with..."
Perona didn't know why Ichiji wanted to find that blind man, and kept reminding her not to leave any traces. She was somewhat puzzled: "But he's just a blind man. Is he worth such a big fuss?"
"His true strength is not simple; he's a potential great enemy for Germa!" He casually dropped a sentence, then directly hung up the phone.
"Then, let's begin!"
Ichiji glanced around at the surrounding jungle and the small town in front, then gestured to Shiki beside him.
Golden Lion Shiki was already suspected by the World Government, so it was better to be even more brazen and push everything onto the other party.
He also didn't need Shiki to expose himself publicly in a short time. Even if he went a little overboard, it didn't matter.
"Hahahaha, I'm looking forward to seeing how strong that fellow you mentioned truly is, Your Excellency Ichiji..." Shiki laughed wildly, stomping his feet on the ground.
"RUMBLE!!!"
The entire small island suddenly trembled violently.
As Shiki's fists clenched tightly, the ground beneath a few people's feet cracked open.
The entire island's surface began to furiously churn, transforming into vortices... only then...
