One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 104 A Lifetime of Answers
"Of course it's because the people are here."

After hearing Yisheng's answer, everyone was slightly stunned.

Tesoro was originally an ordinary person at the bottom of society, and was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons. In the first half of his life, he had never experienced the feeling of being protected.

And after gaining power, he became a typical villain.

Although Rhode and his two companions did not think they were unforgivable villains, they were definitely not the kind of people who would stand up for justice.

People like Issei are extremely rare, let alone among pirates, even in the navy.

"What about you guys? Why did you become pirates?"

After answering Rhodes' question, Yisheng also asked them.

Although he could not see, he could see more clearly than anyone else.

The three young pirates in front of him were also kind-hearted people.

"Of course it's because there are too few navy officers who can do what you do!"

Rod's words made Yisheng silent for a moment.

He was deeply touched by the inaction of the World Government and the corruption of the Navy. It was because he had seen so much of this filth that he chose to destroy his own eyes.

However, I didn’t expect that even such a young person has already realized this.

“It’s time for this world to change.”

After a moment's silence, Yisheng whispered this.

"Uncle!"

Rhodes looked at the blind swordsman in front of him and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Although they admired each other's "righteousness", they were not the same kind of people.

"What's wrong, Brother Rhodes?"

"nothing."

Rhodes sneered.

"I just hope you can stick to your own consciousness."

“I was encouraged by my juniors.”

Yisheng burst out laughing when he heard this.

"My persistence will not be easily shaken!"

Looking at the determination on Yisheng's face, an idea flashed through Rhodes' mind.

If the navy and the world government of this world were all people like him, perhaps he would choose a different life trajectory.

"that···"

An expectant expression suddenly appeared on Issei's face, and he turned his head towards Tesoro.

"There are other casinos on this island."

"I heard about the reputation of this place and came here specially."

He rubbed his hands all his life, looking like a gambler.

The Grand Casino here is the largest and most luxurious casino in Lavis, and I had a lot of fun playing here a lifetime ago.

However, the entire casino, including several nearby blocks, had been destroyed in the previous battle.

"This is the entertainment capital, and there are many casinos on the island."

Tezulo pointed in the direction where Pekin and the others had left.

"Just walk in this direction and you'll find it soon. - This is for you!"

Yisheng took the pure gold card thrown by Tezulo.

“This is a gold card that is only given to the highest-end customers.”

Tezulo looked at Yisheng and explained.

"As long as you hold this gold card, you can enjoy the highest level of treatment in my place. Although the grand casino here has been destroyed, my Grand Tesoro will be officially unveiled soon. When the time comes, you can come and experience it. It will definitely satisfy you!"

Since he had decided to bet his future on Rod, Tesoro consciously put himself on the side of the Rod Pirates.

Judging from his performance just now, Rhode was very concerned about this blind swordsman. Moreover, the strength of this blind swordsman was indeed not to be underestimated and was worthy of attention.

In this case, it might be a good idea to make friends with the other party.

"Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."

Upon hearing that it was a VIP card for the huge entertainment city that was about to open, Yisheng immediately took the gold card thrown by Tesoro, put it in his arms, then greeted Rhodes and the others, and walked away with his staff and sword.

"How are your injuries?"

After Yisheng left, Rhodes looked at Nelu and asked.

"It should be OK after a few days of rest."

Nelu's expression remained unchanged.

The injury on his leg has improved a lot after Luo's treatment.

I should be able to recover after a few more days of rest.

However, after obtaining the Black Gun, he became too dependent on gun combat, and his physical skills fell behind.

Although I had learned the Six Styles before and made up for some of the deficiencies, it was still not enough.

This time the enemy was like this. If Rhodes hadn't defeated Tezoro first, causing Dais to lose consciousness for a moment and be caught by him, the outcome of the battle on his side would definitely not be optimistic.

If he was defeated first, Rhode would not only have to worry about his own safety, but also have to face multiple enemies.

You have to become stronger!

Neilu remained expressionless, but secretly made up his mind to grow at a faster pace from now on.

At least, I can't be a burden to Rhodes!

Southeast of Lavis Island.

Compared to the northwest where Grand in Tezoro is located, this place is a bit more secluded.

Lavis Island is known as the entertainment capital and is well-known throughout the Grand Line. Even nobles from various countries and officials from the World Government often visit this place.

As an entertainment capital, it is impossible for all the islands to be filled with entertainment venues. There are also some relatively high-end hotels located in the leisure area in the southeast of the island, which are separated from the entertainment area in the northwest by the commercial street in the center of the island.

The Lavis Hotel, a hotel named after the island, is the most high-end hotel on the island. It has always only received nobles from various countries and high-ranking officials of the world government.

"The battle is over."

In a suite on the top floor of the hotel, several people sat in a circle. A man with short purple hair looked through the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the calm northwest direction.

"It's so noisy and annoying!"

Turning his gaze away from there, the man with short purple hair fixed his eyes on the people in front of him.

"So, do you understand the task I just told you about?"

"I suspect that the blueprint of the ancient weapon [Pluto] is in the hands of Tom's apprentice, Iceberg."

"What you have to do is to lurk beside him and find the blueprint!"

"You'll get the job done, Rob Lucci!"

The purple-haired man looked at the leader of the group.

He was a man wearing a black suit and had a stern face.

"After all, you are the strongest person in CP9 in the past 800 years!"

"All we have to do is find the blueprints, right?"

Rob Lucci didn't say anything, but a white dove standing on his shoulder opened its mouth and the sound reached everyone's ears.

"Can we just arrest him and torture him to find out the whereabouts of the blueprint? Spandam."

"Can't!"

Spandam immediately stopped Rob Lucci's idea.

"Also, call me sir!"

"Iceberg has integrated the shipyards of Water 7. Now Carrera is the shipbuilding company of the World Government. Moreover, he has been nominated as the next mayor of Water 7. You cannot torture him easily."

"Also, although I hate him, he's not the kind of person who can be brought to his knees by torture."
