Chapter 131: Go Be a Marine

Chapter 131: Go Be a Marine

"That's right, it's disgust."

After speaking, Nicholas was about to turn around and leave, but Issho surprisingly tapped the Ground with his cane and followed Nicholas's footsteps.

"Didn't I already make myself clear? And also, you clearly have such strong Observation Haki, is it really necessary to keep pretending to be blind? Do you know how disrespectful that is to real blind people?"

However, Issho gently shook his head and said very seriously to Nicholas, "I have never pretended to be blind. As for Observation Haki, I have not used it."

Inner Demon?

Nicholas smiled noncommittally. After all, Issho at this time was not yet the Admiral Fujitora of later. At this time, he should have just blinded himself not long ago, and without experiencing the later hardships, he was still in a State trapped by his Inner Demon.

"Fine, if you want to follow, then follow."

After speaking, Nicholas continued to walk forward.

Soon, Nicholas and the others arrived at a luxurious Tavern in Flower Capital.

Nicholas even generously treated Issho to a meal, but to his surprise, after Issho picked up a piece of Sashimi, his brows furrowed tightly. Then, he used his blind eyes to look around at the Food on the table, a hesitant expression appearing on his face.

"What's wrong, blindy brother?" Katie, who was eating Lobster beside him, looked at him with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with the Cuisine?"

It shouldn't be, Katie glanced at the big Lobster in her hand. Although there are few other Delicacies in Wano Country, it must be said that they are still very skilled in handling various Seafood?

"It's a problem with the Cuisine, but it's not just a problem with the Cuisine."

Issho shook his head and said, but his face still had a hesitant expression. He lowered his head and thought silently for a while before solemnly speaking to Nicholas:

"Your Excellency, originally this kind of thing is not my business to interfere with, but if I don't say it, I feel like I have a bone in my throat and cannot sit peacefully. Therefore, please forgive my impolite words."

"Say what you want to say, the mouth is on your body, but whether I listen or not is my business."

"Although I live a somewhat poor life, if I am not mistaken, these Cuisine are all made with Top-Tier Ingredients, and even the cost of this one dish is enough for a family of four for a month's expenses, right?"

Speaking of this, Issho sighed and said, "Your Excellency, do you know how many poor Peasant people in this Wano Country are starving and unclothed?"

After hearing these words, Nicholas understood Issho's meaning.

"Oh, I know. But what does that have to do with me?"

Nicholas replied indifferently.

And Nicholas's answer also choked Issho for a moment.

"But..."

Issho wanted to say something more but was directly interrupted by Nicholas.

"I am not the ruler of this country, why should I care about how Ordinary People live? Moreover, since those people can't get enough to eat, why don't they go to those who have plundered their labor results and take back what rightfully belongs to them?"

"I am not a Holy Mother, I am not that benevolent."

"I was wrong."

Issho was silent for a while, then sighed, turned to look at Nicholas, and showed a wry smile:

"It's also somewhat ironic to say, these eyes were blinded by myself, precisely because I didn't want to see the various filth in this world again. I have always believed that compared to when I could still see, after blindness, I could see things more clearly and thoroughly, and not be blinded by external appearances."

"But now it seems, I was shallow and arrogant. Although my eyes are blind, it is only deceiving myself."

Issho sighed softly, and said slowly, leaning on his wooden staff, "It's a long story, I once went to see Kozuki Sukiyaki, the general of Wano Country, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even see his face and was driven out."

"Later, I still relied on Strength to force a meeting with him, hoping that he could make those Noble in Wano Country reduce the Tax on their Tenant Farmer, so that the lives of Ordinary People could be better. But unfortunately, Kozuki Sukiyaki directly rejected my proposal on the grounds that this was a tradition since ancient times. What a ridiculous and unbearable idea!"

"He should be clearer than I am about how those Noble's fields came to be, but he gave such an excuse, please forgive me for not being able to agree with it no matter what!"

Nicholas remained silent, continuing to listen silently, while Issho just continued to speak:

"I also calmed down and thought about whether I was too arbitrary. So in the following years, I traveled all over Wano Country, and also actively approached and observed those Noble. But these Noble, almost without exception, are all extravagant and licentious people. They ignore the lives and deaths of civilians, and everything is only for their own benefit. The lives and deaths of Ordinary People are even less valuable than their Hunting Dog in their eyes!"

"Even in some places, samurai actually use Peasant to test their Swords for fun."

"How disappointing!"

After speaking, he planned to get up and leave, after all, thinking of the children he had witnessed who died of hunger, these Delicacies were all sins to him.

"Wait."

After thinking for a while, Nicholas felt that he couldn't easily let the other party leave like this, and quickly called out to him.

When Issho turned his head, Nicholas opened his mouth and said, "Since you have said so much, have you ever thought about what Method to use to change the situation of Ordinary People in this world?"

"Of course I have."

Issho was a little surprised by Nicholas's question, but he still replied, "As I said before, I have also tried to find the general of Wano Country to make suggestions, but unfortunately, the other party did not pay attention."

"Since these don't work, have you ever thought that there is a problem with your Method?"

Nicholas said.

"Method?"

Issho's brows furrowed immediately.

"That's right, it's Method. Since soft methods don't work, why not try hard methods? Directly use Strength to tell that guy Kozuki Sukiyaki, whether you listen to my suggestion or not, if you don't listen, I will replace you with someone else to be this general."

"But since ancient times, the general of Wano Country has been the Kozuki family. If I do that, I will be against the entire Wano Country."

Issho looked embarrassed. The reason why he blinded himself in the first place was because of his powerlessness to change this situation.

"You want those Peasant who are Ox and Horse for the Noble masters to stand up, and you are still afraid of this kind of thing? You are really brainwashed by the Kozuki family."

Seeing Issho's appearance, Nicholas had to admire the brainwashing Strength of the Kozuki family.

"Why don't you go be a Marine? After becoming a Marine, you will see more evil in this world, and then you will realize that the problem of Wano Country is not a problem at all. Maybe after training in the Navy for a few years, your ideas will change. How about it, will you go or not? I have an Acquaintance in the Navy who can help you." Nicholas said, looking at Issho.

"Then that would be troublesome."

After some consideration, Issho agreed in a deep voice.
