Chapter 37: Chapter 37. The blind vagabond
The reason for heading to Alabasta, because Ravan's target was Nico Robin.
Nami has been recruited on board, so how could Ravan miss Robin?
Not to mention that among the tasks issued by the system. The first step is to recruit five crew members, including himself, and the influence of each crew member must reach at least A level!
It just so happens that now that everything on my side has been settled, it's time to recruit the next newcomer!
"Eh? Ravan, look, there's a ship in front of you!"
On the way out, Nami suddenly noticed a small boat appearing on the distant sea level.
"The sea doesn't belong to us. Isn't it normal for there to be other ships?"
Ravan replied.
On the Grand Line, whether it is a pirate ship, other passenger ships, merchant ships, or even Marine warships, etc. There is a constant stream of people coming and going, some are running for a living, some are patrolling the sea, and some are preparing to pass through Fishman Island and reach the New World.
The sea area in the first half of the Grand Line is just this size of land. It's totally normal!
"You'd better come over and take a look!"
Nami insisted. Ravan looked in the direction Nami pointed.
After reading it, Ravan also paused.
It was a one-leaf boat. The boat is pitifully small. At best, it can only accommodate one person.
This reminded Ravan of the time when he betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates. He also traveled alone in a lone boat to avoid the search of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Just the extreme weather on the Grand Line, Ravan's boat was almost capsized several times!
In other words. He can really understand that without a reliable ship, it is simply a dream to gain a foothold on this sea.
The thing is that on the boat was a middle-aged man with a cane and a black scarf covering his eyes.
Wearing a black scarf on eyes? There is no doubt about it. The middle-aged man in front of me is blind.
"Blind?"
Stepping on a lonely boat?
"This....."
He all feel incredible. No wonder Nami was so surprised.
After a short period of excitement, Ravan frowned again! Where is this place? This is the Grand Line!
A blind man. Driving a lone boat means you have the courage to face the rough sea. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no full strength.
Ravan looked at the other party carefully. Just such a startling glimpse.
An image condensed in Ravan's heart.
'This guy is...'
Ravan narrowed his eyes slightly at first, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
The light in his eyes was very hot, as if he had seen someone of the opposite sex on a deserted island.
The blind man now. You're not a member of Marine yet!
Put it this way....
...........
When Nami found the blind man.
The blind man raised his head and "looked" towards their ship.
The blind man asked: "Boat in front, are you going to the Sabaody Archipelago? Can you give me a ride?"
Sabaody?
Nami and Ravan had just left the Sabaody Islands and were now preparing to head to the desert kingdom at the mouth of the Grand Line.
They were not along the way.
Nami explained: "Unfortunately, we are coming from the Sabaody Islands.... Hmm..."
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
Nami's little mouth was blocked by Ravan.
"You can get on my boat! Helping people in trouble is my calling! How can I not help a person on the open sea!?!"
Ravan covered Nami's mouth with one hand and answered at the same time.
"Thank you!"
The blind man nodded. He jumped lightly and climbed up the ladder step by step very skillfully!
At first glance, no different from ordinary people.
Only then did Nami see the blind man holding a cane with his hands in the dark.
"You...are you really a blind person?"
Seeing the black scarf wrapped around the blind man's eyes, Nami thought it was just a decoration. But when she saw a blind man using crutches to find his way around and kept groping around.
She suddenly came back to her senses. Is this eye patch really not a decoration? That's impossible.
As a navigator, Nami is well aware of the dangers on the Grand Line! What's the result? The blind man in front of me just went straight out to sea! If this is not careful. What should he do if he falls into the sea? There is no one around, not even anyone to rescue him! Even if he died, no one would know.
Hearing Nami's question, the blind man was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and always had a kind smile on his face.
He said: "I'm really ashamed. I have experienced the injustice of this world in my early years. It is a blessing to be blind. There are really too many dirty and dirty people that people can't bear to look at, so I decided to blind myself!"
Although it was just a few words, but Nami could still learn from the other party's tone.
She can hear the other party's insistence on the belief in his heart! Such people can be respected no matter where they are. The same goes for Nami.
She did not insist on this topic, but asked in a different way: "Then you...why do you go out to sea alone? The climate on this sea is very extreme. If you are not careful...if you fall What should you do if the sea breaks out?"
The blind man nodded: "Thank you for your concern, but I don't think I have any worries in this regard. After all...I won't fall into the sea so easily!"
No worries? Won't fall into the sea? This is no longer visible. Do you know how dangerous this sea is?
Nami felt very strange: "You...you can't even see the road clearly...how do you get to the Sabaody?"
The blind man said: "Although I can't see, it doesn't affect my perception of the surroundings."
Nami still doesn't believe it.
She originally thought that Ravan was invincible by betraying the Whitebeard Pirates, attacking the Celestial Dragons, and angering Marines and Pirates factions. She did not expect that the blind man in front of her was more desperate than Ravan.
The blind man raised his head, looked at Nami, and then at Ravan. He also asked his doubts: "You two, you are not ordinary people...are you pirates? I can't feel the breath of pirates on yours body!"
Ravan said: "Can you still feel this thing?"
The blind man nodded: "I am blind in both eyes, but my other abilities are still intact, and I am even a little stronger than before because of this."
Loss of visual judgment. As an alternative, the five senses will also be significantly improved.
After a little understanding.
Ravan felt more and more that the blind man in front of him was the one in his mind: "It seems like our meeting was destined by fate itself! How about getting to know each other better!?"
Dressed like a vagabond, the blind man replied: "Issho! This is my name!!"
