Chapter 275 Gambling
On the streets, people were bustling about and noisy discussions were heard one after another.

With surprise and curiosity on their faces, people gathered in groups of two or three, enthusiastically discussing the extraordinary and shocking event that had occurred before.

"Have you heard? It seems that the previous explosions were caused by artillery shells, and they were fired by the navy."

"What?! Is this true? Why did the navy fire artillery shells? And what about the strange flashes in the sky I saw earlier?"

These words intertwined in the air, forming a buzzing sound.

In the crowd, Yixiao was leaning on a staff and a sword, his figure was straight yet revealing a bit of loneliness, he walked straight ahead slowly and at a leisurely pace.

Although he could not see the surrounding scenery with his eyes, his steps were extremely steady, without any hesitation or stagger.

The pedestrians around were discussing enthusiastically, but they had no idea that the blind man walking by was the benefactor who saved them from the bombardment.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yixiao arrived at the outskirts of the capital of Saint Martin. The streets here were less bustling and more quiet.

A large courtyard stands quietly on the side of the street. Its grey walls are slightly mottled, and the tops of the walls are covered with green vines. Occasionally, a few unknown small flowers poke their heads out and sway gently in the breeze.

Yixiao walked to the gate of the courtyard and suddenly stopped here.

At the door, a young man sitting in the guard room poked his head out suspiciously, looked at him carefully, and then asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

It's no wonder he was suspicious. After all, Yixiao looked like a blind man, but he was able to accurately stop in front of the door. Those who didn't know much about Observation Haki would feel that something was wrong.

"Hello, I'm here to see His Excellency Sun Wukong."

He smiled and nodded slightly, then said politely, "Excuse me, may I come in?"

The young man's face changed when he heard his answer.

This is the secret base of their revolutionary army. No one knows that Mr. Wukong is here except the people of their revolutionary army. How could this blind man know?!
Who is he? !
In an instant, he became highly alert, and his right hand reached into his arms, grasping a pistol hidden inside, ready to fight immediately.

"who are you!"

His voice rose a few notches.

While focusing his main attention on Yixiao, he also scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision, trying to find anything unusual.

Yixiao naturally sensed his small movements and vigilance, so she shook her head, still with a gentle smile on her face: "I have no ill intentions, you don't have to be too nervous."

"My name is Yixiao. I can be considered a friend of Your Excellency Sun who has met you twice."

"Just tell him my name."

He paused, then smiled and said, "Besides, with Your Excellency Sun's strength, even if I come here with malicious intent, Your Excellency should not worry."

The young man was originally very wary of him, and when he heard his last sentence, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Ha, that seems to be what the blind man said. How could he have forgotten this?

A man who can capture a navy admiral alive can run around in this world without any worries. Even if the blind man in front of him wants to harm him, he can't do it at all!
His guard was mostly gone, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then wait a moment."

After saying that, he took out a Den Den Mushi that had been ready to go, canceled the emergency call on it, and made a normal call instead.

"Hello, I'm Jinpura. Please tell Mr. Wukong that there's a man named Yixiao at the door. He claims to be Mr. Wukong's friend and wants to meet with Mr. Wukong."

Shortly after.

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

Jinpura hung up the phone, quickly opened the door, and put on an apologetic smile: "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Yixiao, I was a little fussy just now, please forgive me."

Just now he learned from his companions that this blind man was really Mr. Wukong's friend.

Who is Mr. Wukong?

He was a hero who punched the Celestial Dragons and kicked the Marine Admirals, and who was admired by the Revolutionary Army soldiers!
So, Mr. Wukong’s friends are their friends!

"No, I am sorry for interrupting you."

Yixiao smiled, and seeing Jinpula's attitude change so quickly, he couldn't help but sigh at Sun Wukong's status in the revolutionary army.

He declined Kimpura's offer to lead the way and walked alone towards the black house in the yard.

The yard was very quiet. The ground was paved with bluestone slabs, some of which were covered with light moss.

There are several slightly bare big trees planted around, and the corner of the yard is filled with leaves still with emerald green, as if telling what happened here before.

Not long after, Yixiao arrived at the door of the house. Dongli, who had been waiting here for a long time, walked down the steps quickly with a warm smile on his face and reached out to support him.

"Mr. Yixiao, we meet again. My name is Dongli. Do you still remember me?"

Yixiao answered without hesitation: "Of course I remember. That day, it was thanks to the little girl next to you who led the way for me."

"Hahaha, you're talking about Meiyue, right? She is indeed a very warm-hearted person, but she's not here this time, so you won't be able to see her."

Dong Li was joking with him while looking at this ugly blind man.

Just now, they learned from Wukong that the person who saved the country from artillery bombing was actually this blind middle-aged uncle.

Because of this, he had great respect for him in his heart and subconsciously used respectful terms in his words.

After helping Yixiao into the room.

"Mr. Wukong is having dinner now. He asked me to bring you over. Do you mind?"

He looked at them and smiled a little embarrassedly. After all, it was a bit impolite to meet guests while eating. But they couldn't say anything. Mr. Goku had a fight with Kizaru and he was hungry after a fight. Wasn't it normal to eat something?
"It's okay. I'm a little hungry too. If possible, can you let me eat something with you?"

Yixiao was not surprised at all because he had already "seen" Goku eating through his Observation Haki.

"Of course! Please follow me!"

In the cafeteria, Wukong was holding a bowl as big as a washbasin, and the chopsticks in his hand were dancing so vigorously that afterimages were left.

I saw him shoveling rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls, his cheeks bulging, just like a greedy hamster.

Next to him, there was a pile of plates. These plates were originally filled with various delicacies, but now they were empty.

"No matter how many times, I am always amazed by Goku's appetite."

Opposite him, Kerla held up her cheek with a smile in her eyes, looking at Wukong's horrible appetite, feeling deeply moved.

"Yeah~ Me too."

Robin's eyebrows curved, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he let out a lazy and sexy laugh.

At this time, the door opened and two figures walked in.

"Mr. Wukong! I brought Mr. Yixiao here!"

Dongli opened the door wide to allow Yixiao to enter unhindered, and said in a lively tone.

"Ugh! Mud howl! A smile!"

Wukong stopped eating rice quickly and spoke incoherently.

There was a grain of rice on the corner of his mouth, which made him look a little funny.

"Mr. Wukong, and everyone else, I apologize for bothering you."

Although Yixiao couldn't see anything, he knew that there were several people sitting here, so he nodded slightly to greet them.

"Don't bother me! Mr. Yixiao, I want to see you too."

Kerla left her chair and came to him with a smile on her face.

As early as when she was watching the battle, she was very curious about this third person who appeared near Goku and Kizaru.

If she hadn't forgotten to ask Wukong later, she wouldn't have known that the other party was the great benefactor who protected the Kingdom of Norras. She would have sent someone to find him long ago.

"you are?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kerla, and I'm a cadre of the Revolutionary Army."

Kerla introduced it openly. Yixiao was not surprised at all that he was a member of the Revolutionary Army, because he had already guessed that this was the base of the Revolutionary Army.

"Please take a seat. Mr. Yixiao, if you need anything to eat, I'll arrange for the chef to make it for you."

"Do you have noodles? I like mustard and wheat noodles."

"Mustard noodles? Of course we have them. I'll ask the chef to make them right away."

As Kella said this, she wanted to go to the kitchen, but Dongli volunteered to take on this task: "I'll go! Sister Kella, you guys chat here!"

“Huff, huff, huff! Huff, huff!”

After greeting Yixiao, Wukong continued to eat with relish.

Yixiao had the experience of having dinner with the other party last time, so he didn't want to disturb her. He turned to Kela and said, "Miss Kela, I want to thank you, the Revolutionary Army."

Ok?
After these words were spoken, not only Kerla looked puzzled, but Robin and Puyol also attracted attention.

"Thank us? Have we ever had any interactions with you, Mr. Yixiao, before?"

Kerla asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

Their revolutionary army had been established for about twenty years, and considering Yixiao's age, it was possible that they had met before, so she was not surprised.

Unexpectedly, Yixiao shook his head and said, "No."

Ok?
At this moment, Kerla was stunned.

Without any intersection, there would be no gratitude.

He just smiled and continued, "I want to thank you because you saved this country and made it full of vitality."

While traveling these days, he relied on his powerful observation Haki to capture the dark history that once existed in this country and had not yet been completely erased.

This could not help but shock him. It turned out that such a peaceful and happy country today had suffered so many painful experiences that made people sad and cry.

The reason why this country has everything it has today is because of the help of the revolutionary army.

Kerla was stunned again.

“Are you from this country?”

"No."

Yixiao shook his head again.

"I am just a traveler, and this is my first time in this country."

"and you."

Kerla didn't know what to say.

You are not a citizen of this country, but you express gratitude to others on behalf of the people of this country. What kind of broad mind is this?

She looked at the blind man in front of her seriously, her heart filled with waves.

Thinking of the other party's previous righteous act of silently saving the country, he was suddenly shocked:
Isn't it suitable for a person who cares about ordinary civilians like him to join their revolutionary army?

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but at this moment, Dong Li came over with a bowl of hot mustard noodles: "Mr. Yixiao, your mustard noodles are here!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Looking at Yixiao who was already holding the chopsticks to taste the food carefully, she thought for a moment and held back what she wanted to say.

Why rush? Yixiao is still here anyway. Let's wait for Long to arrive in two days and invite him personally. Wouldn't it show that their revolutionary army values ​​him more?

For a moment, the cafeteria fell silent, leaving only the ping-pong sound of Wukong putting down his empty plate as he ate, and the rustling sound of Yixiao slurping noodles.

After an unknown amount of time, when Wukong finished his last bowl of rice and wiped the corners of his mouth with a satisfied look on his face, he stood up and said solemnly, "Sir Sun, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Seeing this, although Kerla and Robin were a little curious and wanted to say something to Goku, out of politeness, they did not ask more questions, but took the initiative to leave here, leaving the two a space to talk.

After throwing away the tissue he used to wipe the corner of his mouth, Wukong blinked and asked curiously, "Yixiao, what do you want to tell me?"

Yixiao's face was very serious. He pondered for a few seconds, frowned slightly, and then slowly said: "Sir Sun, you are very powerful. I admire you for being able to defeat Kizaru."

"But I have a question, why did you want to capture him back?"

His eyelids opened slightly, and his white eyeballs seemed to be looking at Wukong.

You have to know that repelling a navy admiral and capturing a navy admiral are two completely different things.

The former will make the World Government and the Navy fearful, and they will no longer send people to capture Goku; while the latter will completely anger both of them, and will also cause huge waves in the entire world, and many innocent people may lose their lives.

Just like the Kingdom of Norras where they are, after he and Goku leave here, will the angry World Government want to raze it to the ground again?
As a person who cares about the safety of innocent people, he could not sit idly by and watch this happen.

“Well, because I want to.”

Wukong answered with a smile.

Then he told her that he was going to the Red Earth Continent in three days.

After hearing all this, Yixiao's eyes were fully open and his expression was full of shock.

He asked in disbelief: "Sir Sun, do you know what you are doing? No matter how strong you are, you can't do all this by yourself!"

He really couldn't imagine where this man got the confidence to do such a feat.

However, Wukong was heard to say with a grin, "Don't worry, Yixiao, I am still a little confident in my own strength."

He smiled and remained silent.

About half a minute later, he suddenly took out a dice cup from his arms, and the two dice in the dice cup hit back and forth, making crisp sounds.

"How about a bet? If the dice shows an odd number, you tell me the true strength of your confidence."

He placed the dice cup on the table and shook it a few times. A wave of gravity seeped in from his fingertips and silently changed the total number of the two dice to an odd number.

Then he raised his head and asked again: "How is it, Mr. Sun?"

Wukong blinked his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. A force was transmitted along the table to the dice, causing one of the dice to turn over, and the total number instantly became an even number.

"Yixiao, you destroyed your eyes more to escape."

Before, after Yixiao finished his meal, he chatted with Kerla and the others and mentioned that he became blind because he destroyed his own eyes because he didn't want to see the filth and evil in the world. Although he was busy eating at that time, he still heard what they said.

"I feel that you are in a state of confusion, smile."

Goku continued, a serious look on his face.

"You probably want to change the world, but maybe because you are powerless to do so, you choose to escape."

"I accept your bet. If the number is not odd, you can join the Revolutionary Army and help them change the world. How about that?"

Yixiao's hand holding the dice cup suddenly tightened.

Somehow, the image of the self-destructive double eyes and the horrific scene of a field filled with blood suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Soon after, the sounds full of joy and happiness that I heard when I was walking in the Kingdom of Norrath rang in my ears again.

The laughter of children, the conversations of people, the gentle voices expressing kindness, these sounds were like a warm force that impacted his heart.

After a long silence, he suddenly sighed and said, "You are right, Lord Sun. I have been shamefully escaping all these years."

"And now, with someone like you, Lord Sun, who dares to make a huge determination to change the world, how can I escape any longer?"

"I lost this round."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dice cup opened, revealing two dice, both of which were even numbers.
