One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

"Please, Mr. Yixiao, save me! I will repay you by serving you like a slave from now on!"

Baldy seized his last chance to plead. Without blond hair and missing a leg, he was indeed in a sorry state.

Yi Xiao sighed helplessly, "Aren't you worried that I won't be able to pay you back?"

"How could that be? It's less than 20 million Berries... There's a 'distinguished guest' who came specifically for Mr. Yixiao."

"Oh? May I ask who this distinguished guest is?"

Yi Xiao was a little stunned. The problem was that this was his first time in Beihai, so how could anyone know him?

And judging from what the other person said, the person who recognized him must be someone important.

This further piqued his curiosity.

The secretary smiled gently, "I can't say any more, otherwise I'll be punished if the boss finds out after the betting game."

"In that case, I'll lend you the money."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, he smiled and did not force the issue.

It's the same as going to find that person after the gambling game is over.

This time, he meddled because he felt the gambling was too cruel, but he couldn't intervene due to the rules, so he could only resort to this most 'stupid' method.

Hopefully, this lesson will help them get back on the right track.

He smiled helplessly and signed the document.

"Thank you, thank you so much! I'm so grateful! I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money!"

Seeing that this blind man seemed to be someone important, not only could he get the casino staff to change the rules for him, but he also offered to lend him money. The bald man kept thanking him, his expression as obsequious as could be.

Unfortunately, the other person was truly blind and couldn't see anything at all.

That expression was all for nothing.

Realizing this, he quickly struggled to his feet and said to the secretary, "Now that someone has paid my debt, can we start over?"

"Start over?"

"Yeah, didn't you just say you'd give me another chance? I'm sure I can beat you this time, I just made a mistake!"

This sentence stunned everyone present. Yi Xiao, who had just saved the other party, gave a bitter smile, shook his head and stopped talking, clearly falling into a state of self-isolation.

The secretary was taken aback at first, then gave a meaningful smile. "Are you sure you want to do it again? You might not be so lucky this time."

"I'm sure! Enough talk, let's get started!"

The bald man, unwilling to give up, chose to reopen the business, and the secretary actually gave him this chance.

The same opening move, the secretary took the first shot, but failed to score.

Despite missing a leg, the bald man unleashed his inner power, seizing the opportunity to pot the white ball in succession.

Soon it came to the last ball, and the situation was strikingly similar to the last time: a black ball was positioned near the pocket, the easiest spot to pot.

Is history repeating itself?

Or should we take a gamble?

The bald man decided to give it his all! He absolutely couldn't repeat the same mistake he made before!

He has already paid such a heavy price. If he still can't leave here with a huge sum of money, he will have no way to survive when he gets home, because he stole all of his family's savings before he left.

"Go in!"

boom!

The last white ball is in the pocket!

But the black ball that represents 'death' was also pocketed!

"Do not!!!"

"Save me, Mr. Yixiao, please save me again!"

"I won! I've potted the white ball!"

"Honey, why aren't you saying a word?"

"You can't do this to me, you can't!"

The secretary coldly waved her hand, ordering someone to take the shouting bald man away.

As for what awaits the other party next, everyone knows perfectly well.

This time, however, no one stepped forward to try to save the life.

He smiled but didn't say anything more.

But some people still weren't willing to let him off the hook so easily.

"Why doesn't Mr. Yixiao speak? If you do, we would be happy to provide another 20 million in loans."

If the first time someone offered to lend money was a test, then this time it carries a hint of mockery.

'What kind of thing did you save?!'

Yi Xiao replied, "It is fortunate that I cannot see anything. There are too many filthy and despicable people in the world that are unbearable to look at. I cannot see through people's hearts, but I only ask to have a clear conscience."

He said this with a calm and composed smile.

His decision to save people was a spontaneous act.

No more saving, that's my choice.

Chapter 164 Corrupt and Malignant Tumors in the Navy

"Not being able to see anything is a blessing in itself."

Abel ate his food while pondering these words.

He vaguely remembered that the other person had blinded himself because he no longer wanted to see the filth and depravity of the world.

Unfortunately, some things cannot be blinded simply by destroying one's own eyes.

He could sense the other person's helplessness; they were trying to change something, but they couldn't change anything on their own.

All I can do is wander around, waiting for a vague opportunity that may never come in my lifetime.

In his previous life, Abel observed that among all the naval admirals, the one who impressed him the most was Fujitora Issho.

Of course, at this time the other party was not yet known as Fujitora; he was just a blind gambler.

In Abel's memory, after Ikko became a naval admiral, he valued the safety of the people and hated unjust acts.

He was able to frankly admit the World Government's mistakes and lead the entire Navy to kneel down and apologize to King Riku.

He was also able to argue with Akainu, who had become the Fleet Admiral, without backing down an inch.

Willing to follow the rules, but not so rigid as to be inflexible.

This was the 'justice' that Abel truly recognized at the time!

That's why he paid so much attention when he recognized that this person was just an ordinary citizen through those features.

He even went so far as to change his original plan and reveal his identity to enter.

Of course, Abel had no intention of recruiting the other party.

Because doing so would only bring shame upon oneself.

Let's put aside the issue of ability.

The path he chose was destined to carry a lifetime of infamy.

He might not care, but Yixiao would definitely not agree with his ideas.

As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Abel will not change for anyone, and Yixiao is probably the same.

So if you have to say something, Abel was just influenced by his memories of his past life and wanted to make up for his small regrets before they turned against each other.

Isn't this too much?

“Abel, that navy guy over there wearing a hat keeps looking this way. Does he recognize us?”

At this moment, Baby-5 quietly tugged at Abel's sleeve from below, looking a little nervous.

Abel glanced over there without a care in the world, and their eyes met.

He was Captain Fox-Eagle of the 88th Naval Division. This guy had the look of an eagle and the gaze of a wolf, and his cunning was tinged with ruthlessness. He didn't look like a good person at all.

To be able to become a naval branch colonel with such a face shows just how extraordinary his methods must be.

Just now, he saw ill intentions in the other person's eyes!

"Ignore it, we'll leave in a bit."

"If this guy dares to cause trouble, that's exactly what I want."

Abel didn't take the other man seriously, because there are big differences between colonels.

Some of the most powerful naval captains are located at Marine Headquarters, such as Captain Shuen, the user of the Rust-Rust Fruit, who is practically the bane of swordsmen.

And the truly rubbish ones are genuinely rubbish, such as the shameless naval scum Captain Rat, who colludes with Ah Long's gang to oppress the people.

This kind of scum, this parasite in the Navy, has absolutely no ability whatsoever.

Furthermore, cases like Captain Rat are quite common in various naval branches.

Even when Lieutenant General Crane arrived in Beihai, he was still helpless.

Because a single move can affect the whole situation, if you want to remove the tumor, you have to use strong medicine and a swift knife.

Who knows what kind of turmoil might occur then?

Therefore, no previous admiral had ever made such a ruthless decision.

Abel suspected that this fox colonel was just another rat colonel, and that if they really started fighting, it would just give him a good excuse.

The gambling game is still going on in VIP room 444...

Colonel Fox also glanced at it, but he wasn't interested in such things, so he didn't place any bets on who would be the final winner.
