Chapter 29

Seems like an Admiral!

A wave of doubt rose in Ezekiel's heart concerning Cobra's description.

An Admiral is not some run-of-the-mill figure. If any Admiral became a pirate, their bounty would be no less than 2 billion Berries.

Releasing an Admiral into the sea means the World Government would become weaker than the Four Emperors. It can't be said for certain that the three Admirals working together could defeat the Four Emperors. But there is no doubt that the level of an Admiral is a true superior combat power in these seas.

Ezekiel possesses the mobile phone fruit, which can give his subordinates abilities, but if the potential of his subordinates is low, there's nothing he can do. So far, the highest potential he's encountered in Alabasta is Pell, whose upper limit is only 60 GB.

He estimated that the true power of any Admiral should be at least 150-200 GB.

Who is this strong person that his father has called an Admiral?

......…

In April 1518 on the original calendar, it was two years before Luffy would set out to sea.

The capital of Alabasta, Alubarna.

Crowds of citizens gathered on the rebuilt main street, Kings Avenue. This is the day their supreme King embarks on his procession. Only on this day each month do they have the opportunity to meet the King.

Even though compared to the kind and benevolent former King Cobra, the new King now maintains more distance and rarely communicates directly with the people, the citizens clearly value the current King more and follow him, because he was the first to truly show them what it means to be King.

A King is a solitary person, a person who bears everything, a god who walks the earth, and in some sense, he is omnipotent! He was able to crush the Warlords, form hundreds of thousands of troops, and use countless manpower to create the "River of Life."

Will waved his hands, greeting his people. Over several months, he has gained unprecedented authority in Alabasta, especially in the capital, Alubarna. It can be said that he is a true god.

The blind warrior has learned a lot about the King during this time, not just about the "River of Life," but also about mobile phones, banks, new currencies, handling rebels, and restructuring the country. Everything is so well-organized. A country that once seemed so impoverished has become prosperous under this King's hands.

"For what reason? I truly want to meet this King soon."

"Mr. Samurai, you can simply wait in the palace," Cobra personally escorted Fujitora to the palace just in time for the King's procession. "It might take an hour."

"Don't worry," said the samurai with a gentle smile in his blind eyes. "It's enough to see someone from a distance."

The kindness in the King's heart was so great that Fujitora wanted to communicate with him personally.

He was astonished, and as soon as he finished speaking, his blind eyes narrowed. With his advanced Observation Haki, he could see it from a distance. This great existence, like a huge burning flame, was surrounded by people. With one glance, he understood that the kindness in the King's heart was completely different from the kindness of anyone else in this world.

It was like a blazing sun rising from a patch of multicolored stars.

"What exactly is this?" he kept asking himself.

Such a complex and unfathomable immense world cannot be grasped even with the mind, but the concept of order and goodness in it is far beyond the understanding of any sage in this world.

The blind warrior desperately wanted to see the incomparable golden treasure hidden in the King's heart—fire, sun, kindness, order, strength, glory, harmony...

"What an incredible heart!" The blind samurai couldn't help but mutter. "Never before have I seen anything like this! And a heart that could never have been formed in this world, how was it... created?!" Thinking about this, the blind warrior looked at the old King Cobra. "And what an amazing father."

He felt like Ezekiel had no connection to Cobra; he seemed like a teenager, existing by himself in this world. He was absolutely unique in this world.

After all, there is no such power in the world of Pirates.

Such was the ability of the blind samurai. Because he was blind, he possessed a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts.

For decades, he sought faith and a chance to save the world. He met Roger. He fought against the most vicious thugs in the world, had dialogues with the leader of the Revolutionary Army trying to save the world, and also met the kind-hearted Mermaid Princess.

But their beliefs and ideas remain within a realm comprehensible to the blind samurai, and he knows it's not quite right.

But this King is different...

There is no doubt that he has found a King who is willing to give his life for a cause.

This is the samurai's conviction, as well as his faith.

"Your Majesty, the old King Cobra is waiting for you," - Pell reminded Ezekiel .

Ezekiel looked into the distance and saw a blind man watching him from afar. He was stunned and finally understood who his father was talking about, someone who resembled an Admiral...

Fujitora smiled!

Ezekiel thought that, after all, Fujitora could see through people's hearts, but even a talent like Luffy had barely earned his approval.

"Why did I earn his respect?" - pondering this, Ezekiel was astonished.

As the King approached, this seemingly ordinary yet most extraordinary blind warrior unexpectedly pulled a knife from his staff with his right hand, blade down, stuck it into the ground, slightly bowed, and knelt!

This is a sign of samurai loyalty in this world!

Fujitora bowed his head! What had moved this powerful man in the end?

Ezekiel 's expression became serious, he raised his hand, all noise and shouting ceased, and people watched as he walked step by step towards someone.

"That's King Cobra! "- someone traced the direction he was moving in and thought he was going towards Cobra.

Cobra looked at Fujitora with satisfaction and sighed:

"My son, I did not fail you."

The presumed combat power of an Admiral level!

Fujitora didn't say a word, he calmly awaited Ezekiel .

Ezekiel finally approached him. It seemed that this powerful blind warrior couldn't wait for Ezekiel 's arrival, and for Ezekiel , it directly resolved one of his most difficult problems at present.

"What do you think of Alabasta, Fujitora?" - He placed his hand on the samurai's shoulder and asked with heartfelt excitement.

Fujitora was taken aback and simply replied:

"Magnificent."

Then he stood up and slightly bowed.

Fujitora smiled, determined to do everything within his power!
