Grab the dark fruit right in front of Blackbeard

Issho.

Admiral Marine two years after the war.

With terrifying strength, he went through the world conscription and came to the Marine headquarters, defeating Momousagi and Tokikake.

In the end, he was successfully promoted and became one of the most powerful Marines worthy of the name.

Issho has also established a lot of prestige among Marine because of his integrity, gentleness, attention to the people, and setting an example.

He has even seen the corruption in Dressrosa. This also solidified his opposition to the Shichibukai system. The Shichibukai system must be abolished from their Marines!

The failure of the war allowed the Five Elders to put pressure on Sengoku, throwing all the pressure on Sengoku.

Sengoku was also forced to abdicate and gave up the position of Marine Fleet Admiral.

This position was also competed for by Akainu and Aokiji. The final result was that Akainu used his absolute strength to take the position of Fleet Admiral at the cost of one leg of the other side.

But Aokiji left Marine because of this, stayed quiet for a long time, and finally revealed that he had joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

As for the positions of the two vacant generals, one was taken by Issho, codenamed Fujitora, and the other fell to Ryokugyu!

(Tl: Fujitora means Wisteria Tiger, and Ryokugyu means Green Bull. So in the future I will most likely alternate their code names like this.

Hmm... I just realized that I've heard many times how Aramaki was called in fanfiction or various social networks as the "Green Bull", but I've never heard Issho called "Wisteria Tiger". 🤨

Although it doesn't matter.)

And Issho now, not the world-famous Marine admiral codenamed Fujitora. At this moment, he is just a rogue swordsman. He has traveled far and wide and is at home everywhere. He is just a simple spectator!

Ravan was extremely serious: "So you just Issho! I have long admired your name!"

"Well?"

Issho was naturally confused.

What does it mean to admire a great name for a long time? Am I famous? And why does Ravan look like he's known me for a long time?

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "You...you know my name?"

Hahaha.....

Ravan smiled in his heart.

The long-term admiration for the famous name is just a courtesy. How could he know Issho's identity? At best, you can just guess it through the other person's appearance!

Now that we have met.

If he just allowed Issho to develop freely, he would join Marine in the future, become his enemy, become the puppet of the Five Elders, and create countless troubles for himself.

It's better to make a decisive decision now. Let's first invite Issho in! The combat power of a admiral!

Firstly, it weakens Marine's strength, and secondly, it also enhances the overall combat power of his own pirate group.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not?

With the most basic courtesy, Ravan said very politely: "It's natural. When I was sailing around here, I heard about a blind wanderer wandering around in a lone boat.. He hated evil and stood up for the people... Go out without hesitation and move forward courageously on your own moral principles. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity to see you in person!"

Nami paused.

Haven't you been recovering from your injuries these days? When did you get off the ship? And didn't we just come from the Sabaody? When did you hear that? How come I don't know?

Of course, Nami's thoughts are just thoughts.

She knew Ravan's character and would never do anything she wasn't sure about. Or choose to wait and see what happens!

Issho was still a little confused. Although he didn't do anything big along the way, he did do some trivial things and helped many villagers solve some difficulties.

But this is so called difficult. Not impressive at all. Unexpectedly, this was known to Ravan in front of him!

This is something that feels incredible. But Ravan said so. I guess he has heard of similar things.

"You praise me too much...."

Issho shook his head, seemingly not caring.

But the slightly raised corners of his mouth still betrayed the joy in his heart.

After all, who doesn't want what they do to be known to others?

"What are your names?"

After some courtesy exchanges, Issho became quite curious about Ravan's identity.

"This is my crewmate, Nami!"

Ravan pointed at Nami and said.

Nami bowed slightly to show respect.

"You are right, we are indeed a pirate ship. The pirate group has just been established. To be honest, we haven't even thought of a name for the pirate group yet..."

(Tl: At this point the author asks for help in naming the pirate crew. However, I don't think it will be necessary because... You will understand this after about chapter 50.)

"As for my name..."

Ravan thought for a while, and then he said softly: "Ravan, I wonder if you have heard of it!?"

Logically speaking, walking on the sea with a smile. He is blind, so he shouldn't be able to "read" the so-called newspapers!

Ravan revealed his identity.

However, he still guessed wrong. The moment he gave his name.

Issho that originally had a smile on his lips suddenly turned cold. Then his brows furrowed, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

The expression he looked at Ravan began to gradually change.

He smiled and said: "Are you the Ravan who attacked the Tenryubito and betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Ravan was surprised: "You know me?"

Issho smiled and nodded: "Who in the entire Grand Line doesn't know your name now?"

Ravan smiled, but he didn't expect it. Even Issho actually knew about this kind of thing.

"I have a question!"

Although he was surprised by Ravan's name and identity, after getting acquainted with him this time, Issho could not tell that Ravan had the fearless and vicious image in the rumors.

I saw that he was elegant and easy-going, like a spring breeze. Even when talking, he was polite and well-controlled.

Is it really that scary?

"What's the problem?"

Ravan looked over and smiled.

"You...."

"Why do you want to attack the Celestial Dragons?"

You know, what is the goal of Issho?

Regardless of whether he wants to join the Marine or not, and whether he wants to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system in the future.

Issho truly hopes that the world can be peaceful and peaceful, so that every citizen can enjoy relatively equal treatment. Where there is injustice, there is a way, and the unjust can be eradicated.

An absolutely perfect world, Issho knew that was impossible. But he also hopes to use his own modest efforts to create a happy future for the world.

This is what Issho has wanted all his life, and what he wants to accomplish for the rest of his life.

"Celestial Dragons?"

Ravan smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that you would actually complain for the Tenryubito?"

Issho denied: "No, I'm just curious. You should know what kind of trouble and price it will bring to you and your pirate group after touching them!"

Tenryubito. No one in Marine has a good impression.

Issho hasn't joined Marine yet, so naturally he won't get close to them. It's not like he hasn't heard of it!

"Yeah, I know!"

Ravan was thinking rapidly in his mind, and soon he had the answer.

It goes without saying how notorious the Celestial Dragons are.

Any crime you name can be linked to them.

Ravan continued: "Everything you do has a motive. My idea is very simple. You don't know something. When I was young, my hometown was attacked by the Tenryubito. Almost all my fellow villagers were caught. Even my parents..."

What? You said you didn't have this experience?

Of course it was Ravan who made this nonsense!

It was nothing more than trying to comfort him.

People like Issho. Naturally, he has no interest in pirates. And what Ravan has to do now?

Ravan continued to explain to the blind man

For example, my hometown was looted. All relatives were arrested. He barely survived by hiding in the cellar and so on!

In short, I can't describe how miserable it is.

After some words.

Even Nami was moved. She covered her little mouth, her heart trembled, and she looked at Ravan blankly!

Never expected it. Ravan actually had such a life experience. If she hadn't met Issho today, she would have never heard of it from Ravan!

"I see....."

If you want to deceive others, of course you have to deceive yourself as well. This is the case with Nami, and the same is true with Issho.

He looked enlightened. If something like this happened to him, I guess I wouldn't be able to calm down easily.

It's no wonder that Ravan regards the Celestial Dragons as targets.

"Well...."

He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude!"

Looking at the apology with a smile, Ravan felt happy.

Since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts.

It worked.

But Ravan shook his head in dejection, with a look of revenge, and said:

"If I could, I would also like to do something good for the people of the world and let people all over the world live an equal life. Unfortunately, I know this is impossible."

"Shichibukai, the pirates of the New World are certainly hateful, but how strong is the Marine? As the top brass of the Marine, do they dare to disobey the orders of the Celestial Dragons?"

"In the final analysis, the Tenryubito are the masters of this world, and there is a long way to go to dismantle it all!"

"This is a reason!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Especially when he heard the words "bringing benefit to the people".

This made Issho's originally calm heart gradually begin to float.

"Do you think so too?"
