Nuo Xia smiled toothily. What level of lethality was it?
It was a true killing of men and women, regardless of camp, and even the enemy pirate captain might take the lead in defecting.
At least at this moment, the entire noodle shop and the surrounding tables of customers were all in a daze. They stared at Nuo Xia in a daze for a long time without regaining consciousness. They didn't even notice that the noodles held between the chopsticks fell to the bottom of the table.
But for a blind uncle who can't see anything, it's obviously of no use.
"Navy..."
Fujitora refused without even thinking about it, "I'm sorry, although I admire Mr. Nosha's strength and character, I apologize that I will not consider this proposal."
"Why?"
Bellemeier on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Yixiao, you have outstanding strength and great ambitions. Wouldn't it be better to expand your ambitions in the navy than to just be a small knight-errant swordsman? That way you can save more people, and..."
"And after I get a higher status, I won't be like today, being ridden in the face by that kind of clown and having to endure it." Taotu finished the second half of the sentence for her with a smile.
"I'm used to being alone, wandering around freely, like a wandering cloud and a crane."
Fujitora shook his head slightly, "After joining the navy, I have been subject to various constraints that are unbearable for me. What's more, I really can't agree with some of the decisions made by the navy in the past few years..."
"Brother Yixiao, are you referring to the Shichibukai system?"
Nuo Xia's eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke.
"There are other aspects as well."
Fujitora was slightly startled, obviously not expecting what Nosha meant, but he still nodded and admitted frankly:
"But those are just side effects. What I despise the most is indeed the introduction of the Shichibukai system."
"In order to strengthen their power and maintain the balance of the so-called Great Line, they drew in dissidents and allowed pirates to plunder legally. I don't know how many civilians were killed by the Shichibukai. However, the world government and navy have no way to complain.
Civilians, turn a blind eye..."
"How is this behavior any different from those pirates!"
Fujitora sighed, looked up at Nosha again, and said with emotion:
"Two years ago, when you had a conflict with William Shichibukai, I happened to be traveling in a small city near the Kingdom of Alabasta."
"Maybe you don't know how many civilians in that city cried with joy after William was killed by you. At the bonfire party in the evening, they cried and sang around the fire, and celebrated until dawn..."
Not everyone has the courage to disobey military orders and attack the Shichibukai.
What's more, the other party is also a descendant of the Tianlong people and has the noble blood of the royal families of the two countries.
Taotu and others looked at Nuo Xia with a little pride in their eyes.
"Your Excellency Nosha, having you in the Navy is a blessing for civilians and a blessing for the Navy, but having only one Romanov Nosha is far from enough..."
Nuo Xia fell silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head after a moment and said seriously:
"The Shichibukai system will definitely be ended in my hands. The order of the world and the justice of the navy do not need a group of pirates to help maintain it."
These words were said so loudly that Fujitora was stunned. Before he could recover, he saw Nosha suddenly laughing:
"Brother Yixiao, how about we make a bet and make an agreement?"
"oh?"
Fujitora raised his eyebrows, his interest aroused, "I would like to hear the details."
"Within ten years!"
Nuo Xia raised a finger, "Right now, many things in the navy cannot be decided by me as a lieutenant general, but within ten years, I bet that I can become an admiral, hold great power, and eradicate all the ills of the navy bit by bit.
, and by then, abolishing the Shichibukai will be the first step!"
"If I can't do this in ten years, then I will lose this bet."
"But if within ten years, one day Mr. Fujitora suddenly sees on the newspaper headlines that the bounty for the seven pirates has been put out again, then it will be the opposite, and it means that I have won the bet."
Nuo Xia smiled slightly:
"And by that time, I hope you don't need me to invite you again. Brother Yixiao, you have already boarded the ship to Marineland by yourself."
This seems to be a gamble where there is no punishment for both parties, no matter whether they win or lose... A few people nearby were thoughtful. No wonder Nuo Xia said that it was actually an agreement made in the form of a bet...
Within ten years?
Fujitora looked at Nosha quietly with the whites of his pupilless eyes. After a moment of silence, he put his hand on his sword and smiled: "Of course, no problem."
"When the time comes, Your Excellency Nuo Xia, please don't dislike me for being old and useless."
Old and useless?
Nosha laughed loudly. Fujitora would be less than fifty years old by then. He was in his prime, so how could he be considered old?
There are several old men at the headquarters who have gray hair, are still energetic, eat delicious food, and burp so loudly that it can shake the whole of Marineland!

port.
The white-haired old man got on the boat with the money box in his arms, and gratefully waved goodbye to Fujitora, Nosha and others who came to see him off.
The village is in urgent need of the life-saving money of more than 80 million beli, but letting the old blind man send it back alone naturally makes people feel uneasy, so at this moment, the man who is also the escort and guide on the ship...
That's right, it's Dingchun.
The big white dog was lying on the bow of the boat, wagging its tail, happily hugging the meat bones that Nuo Xia had brought back, and chewing them deliciously, which was regarded as a reward for its lonely day guarding the boat.
After smiling and waving, and watching the blind man and the dog go away, Nuo Xia left Xiao Luo behind and continued to take on the important task of watching the ship, and then returned to the city with the rest of the people.
It was already late at night, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
But the real life of the Queen of Spring, a city that never sleeps, has just begun.
Fireworks bloom in the night sky, dazzling and dazzling. Various enthusiastic music and dance performances are everywhere in the city. The streets are crowded with people, and the excitement is several times higher than during the day.
"It's so beautiful."
Several girls stopped to watch, looking at the fireworks blooming in the sky and admiring them. Mootu glanced at Fujitora who was watching the sky quietly next to him, with a somewhat regretful expression.
And just then.
A trembling voice suddenly came from the side:
"Okay, okay, adults, I...I haven't eaten for two days..."
Everyone turned to look around and saw a little boy who looked about ten years old at the street corner, holding up a broken bowl and looking at them pitifully.
With his ragged clothes and skinny body, he looks pitiful.
