Chapter 373 Pig Killer
Two days later, at noon, Vera Island.
At a certain restaurant, Ji Xing waved and said, "Boss, three more portions, please make them spicy."
“Hey—” the boss responded and informed the chef, looked at him and asked: “Guest, your chin is…”
"It's okay." Ji Xing said with a smile: "There was a storm two days ago. I was struck by lightning a few times by accident. I'm almost healed."
"Thunder and lightning? How many times?" The boss looked at the light black cross and said hesitantly: "Well, I have never seen such a big storm. Then you have to be careful...don't eat anything too spicy."
"It's okay." Ji Xing pondered for a moment: "Just five more, I have a friend here."
"Hey." The boss became more enthusiastic. He turned around and saw a man wearing a thick robe that covered his entire body walking in from the door. He blurted out: "Your friend was also struck by lightning?! Didn't you hide?"
Long's steps were a little slow, Ji Xing smiled and waved his hand: "He's fine, he just likes this kind of clothes."
So the boss mumbled something unknown and smiled apologetically.
Long sat across from Ji Xing and said, "It seems that your injury is recovering well."
"It's okay." Ji Xing nodded: "It seems that you are worried that you are not conspicuous enough. Why did you suddenly come to me after not seeing me for two days? It is better for the two of us to meet less often. I am afraid that the navy will misunderstand me."
Long was silent for a moment, then said: "The navy's **** warship is about to arrive, and some people I don't want to see are also there, so we have to leave. Before leaving, I want to see you again."
“Oh, Lieutenant General Garp is here in person?”
Long was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Xing in surprise, and said, "Your information is quite good."
Ji Xing smiled and asked, "I've always been curious about something. Was the mark on your face made by Mr. Garp with his slippers?"
The dragon with the weird pattern on his right cheek was stunned for a longer time this time. Why...did he say this?
“Hahaha, just kidding.”
Long Wuyan shook his head and said, "I carved this pattern myself, and it's on this island. Do you want to hear my story about it?"
They are actually father and son. Ji Xing thought of the scars that Luffy carved on his eyelids to show his ferocity, and asked curiously: "Tell me about it?"
This is a very long story, and the revolutionary army organization was still in its infancy at that time.
Probably after witnessing the execution of the Pirate King Roger, and seeing the terrible deeds of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government due to his previous adventures in the sea, Long had the idea of establishing a revolutionary army twenty years ago.
Before the establishment of the Revolutionary Army, there were actually several revolutionary organizations on the sea, and even now, they are just not as famous as him, so they were all attributed to him.
When the revolutionary army was first established, it was naturally not like this. Dragons wandered around the sea, recruiting troops, and their targets were loose revolutionary organizations.
On Vera Island, he met Charlotte, a female revolutionary. The two hit it off, got to know each other, fell in love, got married, and gave birth to a child.
Hearing this, Long saw Ji Xing showing a strange look, and sighed: "I got many of my ideas from Charlotte. Her suggestions are crucial in the development of the revolutionary army."
Ji Xing heard this name from Aramaki, but he didn't expect that she was Luffy's mother.
Aramaki’s evaluation had no reference value, but he could probably guess what happened next.
Sure enough, Long continued: "She has traveled like me, seen slave ships, seen the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons, and seen the incompetent naval branch colluding with pirates, so she wanted to join the World Government in Vera , raised objections when he paid heavenly money and obtained naval asylum.
Do you know what the gold in the sky is? "
Ji Xing nodded. The countries that join the World Government need to provide huge amounts of wealth to the Tianlong people every year. It will basically account for more than 70% of the kingdom's annual revenue. As a result, many countries are starving and many people who cannot afford to eat have to go to sea. Pirates.
Then raise a navy to capture them.
This is considered an inner loop.
So even if Roger hadn't started the Age of Discovery, pirates would still have emerged in endlessly, but not as many as now.
Long nodded and said: "Since you know, you should also know why Charlotte objected, and that's how the civil strife in Vera started. However... she didn't agree with me at that time stepping in to help her."
"That's what she said back then," an invisible breeze blew up, blowing away the words and falling only in Ji Xing's ears: "If I want to build a revolutionary army to overthrow the world government, I must not do everything myself. Our strength It's never enough.
In many places, we can only provide a kind of fire, and let people liberate themselves wherever they are. Vera has the power of self-liberation and does not need our help. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the world government. "
Long said, lightly clenching his fists: "I agreed to her insistence. It happened that something happened on other islands. I saw that Vera was stable and the revolutionary forces were advancing step by step, so I left for seven days..."
Obviously something happened when he left.
Charlotte fell into the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Vera, was arrested, and was later tortured. The kingdom wanted her to extinguish the flames of the revolution in Vera herself.
The result was naturally not agreed upon.
By the time the dragon rescued her, she was already dying, and her beautiful face was even engraved with the same pattern as the dragon at this time. In the end, she still told the dragon that the issue on Vera Island should be resolved by Vera Island!
So the dragon carved this pattern on his face to remind himself that the Valar people have also been in civil strife to this day.
The persistence of the past is actually almost gone. Now Vera, who exists in name only, cannot join the World Government. The two parties seem to prove that they are right and start fighting from time to time.
He couldn't understand it, but he could also imagine that her tenacity was considered a heroine. No matter who she was, it was remarkable that she could withstand torture.
In his view, the current revolution of the Revolutionary Army is just a group of rogue parties, causing chaos to the world government all over the world, regardless of the casualties of civilians. But in fact, they have a point. This is no worse than doing nothing and accumulating strength. If the revolutionary army does nothing, it will not have the power to overthrow the world government in the next life.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Long said: "Now that Vera's situation has finally changed, I felt a little emotional for a moment. Did you notice the purple-haired girl from two days ago? He was rescued by the Blasphemer from the Celestial Dragons. A slave who is also the granddaughter of the Minister of Defense of the Kingdom of Vera. Her experience made the stubborn old man relax a little.
Our army lacks strong men like the Blasphemer, so I hope... you who are stronger can seriously consider joining us. Let's work together to overthrow the rule of the world government! "
While speaking, Ji Xing had already eaten all the food on the table, thought for two seconds, smiled and said, "Pay the bill for me?"
Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded and went to do it.
When he came back, Ji Xing said again: "Take me to see the little girl with purple hair."
Long was delighted: "Okay."
…
On the other side, Sabo and Kella were saying goodbye to Yulia.
Kerla said with tears in her eyes: "We will come back to see you often, Yulia. You are still too young now. Wait until, wait in a few years, when you are 18 years old, if you still want to join If we do, we will definitely come back to pick you up... It’s a promise!”
Yulia didn’t know that this was an attempt to evade comfort. She hugged Kerla and sobbed softly, and her words became coherent: “Yes! It’s agreed!”
At this time, the defense minister who was waiting for his lost granddaughter seemed to ask a few words, and Long and Ji Xing walked in side by side.
Saab and Kerra were surprised: "Mr. the world's greatest swordsman?!"
After these two days, they found out what feat Ji Xing had just done, and they were surprised and looking forward to it: "Chief, is this..."
Long shook his head slightly: "No, he just said he wanted to come and see Yulia."
Look at Yulia...what are you doing?
The two of them were surprised. The purple-haired girl shrank back nervously. Ji Xing smiled very gently at her, which made her relax slightly.
Then she felt a big warm hand fall on the top of her head. The temperature was so familiar that she raised her head blankly.
Their eyes met, and Ji Xing smiled again: "I'm relieved that you are healthy and safe, little girl."
Why? Sabo and Kella were stunned, and even Long looked surprised. His tone sounded like... recognition?
The next moment, the purple-haired girl's eyes were quickly filled with tears. She looked at Ji Xing's eyes carefully as if confirming, and rushed into his arms.
“Uncle, uncle? Is that you?!”
Ji Xing smiled and hugged her gently, patting the little girl's shoulder comfortingly.
The little girl burst into tears, thinking of the man she saw on that night of the fire.
While he was lying on the ground in fear and licking the soup from the plate, the man opened his cage and gently touched his head with his big hands to comfort himself like he did today!
Although the appearance is different, Yulia will never forget this warm feeling!
Beside them, Sabo and Kella said with astonishment on their faces: "Yuliya, you...he..."
Long's expression changed even more rapidly. He felt that what was happening in front of him was beyond his knowledge, and even his speech became a little stumbling.
“You, you are... a blasphemer?!”
“…Huh?!” Sabokela exclaimed.
Ji Xing turned his head slightly, raised his finger, and made a shushing gesture to them: "Keep it secret."
“…Really, really? How is it possible?”
Long's normally calm expression was distorted: "That one doesn't use fists..."
“Can’t a swordsman fight with his fists?”
"but…"
It’s not surprising that the swordsman has no sword and his combat power is only one-tenth. You are so young, how can you do both swordsmanship and boxing? !
Ji Xing looked at the petrified boy and girl and the dragon with a slightly funny expression, and said with a smile: "This matter comes from my mouth, and it stops at the mouths of the four of you. I didn't plan to expose it for the time being, but after thinking about it, I should do it in the future. Make some preparations. Although it is not a good choice for you, it is the only choice."
"…future?"
“There’s no rush.” Ji Xing said, “Let’s talk about it in a few years. I’m not strong enough yet. I just want to explain some things to you in advance.”
You...are not strong enough? ! Long felt like he was speechless more times today than last year. You just defeated two Yonko!
Ji Xing takes it for granted. Of course he is not strong enough. It’s so hard to fight two. If he wants to live broadcast in Mariejoia, he has to fight four, right?
He said: "First of all, I don't like the name blasphemer. Call me... pig-killer!"
3200, that’s it for this chapter, don’t wait until early in the morning... Brothers, I feel like a sheep, I feel so uncomfortable... My mother has been like a sheep these past two days. Are you tired from taking care of her? Impressed.
