Chapter 234: Meteorites Fall from the Sky to Fill the Sea
The power of domineering comes from the awakening of spiritual will, but the growth of domineering is achieved through repeated battles.

But the battle here is not about bullying, but about reaffirming one's own thoughts and ideas again and again between life and death.

The current blind swordsman Yixiao still has more than eleven years to become a navy admiral in the future.

But even with the time gap of eleven years, his use of fruit abilities and dual-color domineering are now almost the same as Borsalino and Kuzan.

However, with Kevin taking him, in just over a day, they traveled from Alabasta in the first half of the Grand Line to Tajira Wolf in the East China Sea, and then to Frevans in the North Sea.

What I saw and heard that day, combined with my own living example, and the fact that Trafalgar Law, at the age of ten, risked his life to save the survivors of his hometown...

All of the above caused his inner will to gradually collapse.

He is denying his former self.

Even if this denial would make him lose the power he once had.

There was not the slightest hesitation, nor did he look back to explain to himself how to retain this power.

"It is a blessing to be unable to see..."

"My vision is too short-sighted, sir."

"To escape the darkness of this world, I choose to sink into depravity. To avoid seeing, I destroy my eyes... If I were to do this, what else could I do but deceive myself?"

"Before this, I traveled around the seas. When faced with darkness, I just thought that this was how the world was. Although I have taken action before, I have never thought of changing the world like you did... relying on strength and risking my life."

Yixiao's hand was tightly holding the blind stick knife, and Kevin, who was standing next to him, could sense that the other party was weakening through his observation Haki.

"Mr. Yixiao."

Kevin looked at him and said, "Don't you want to know why I said before... your ability is related to the future of this world?"

Kevin stretched out his hand again, and the next moment he appeared in front of the old site of Freifans Hospital.

Kevin looked towards the alley next to the hospital. "Perbium disease is ravaging the entire Freifans. The surrounding countries have isolated this place because of rumors that perbium disease is contagious... and this rumor was arranged by the World Government."

"Because they don't want the inside story of Freifans to be spread out, and the dead are naturally the best at keeping secrets."

“At that time, everyone in this town placed their hopes on the doctors in this hospital and came here every day to ask questions.”

"But Perkin Elmer disease has already affected their genes, and it cannot be eradicated by conventional surgical methods. So at that time, in order not to affect the emotions of other doctors, even if they were heartbroken, they would come here to vent."

The blind swordsman used his observation Haki to sense the surrounding environment. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What do you want to say, sir?"

At this time, in Freifans, located in the North Sea, the sun is at its highest at noon.

"Sunlight drives out darkness. The Trafalgar Law kid stood up, but that doesn't mean others won't do anything."

"Faced with a world like this, everyone gets confused at times... The same is true for the other survivors of Freifans."

"After awakening their minds and being able to distinguish between good and evil, most of them joined the revolutionary army and made changing the world their own will and dream."

Kevin paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Mr. Yixiao is ashamed of his past escape now, so he will certainly be more ashamed of today in the future..."

For a moment, the blind swordsman stood there in a daze.

Being able to reach this level, he is naturally not a stupid person.

In addition to what Kevin said before that his strength would be needed in the future, he naturally understood the meaning of it.

People in the country of Freifans who have experienced despair are fighting for their ideals with all their might. So how foolish it would be to allow your will to collapse just to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Yixiao put his cane on the ground and said, "Sir, can you continue to take me around? There is no need to involve the secrets of the revolutionary army. I just want to understand the future that I will fight for at the cost of my life."

Kevin nodded and replied, "Of course."

……

For a whole week, Yixiao followed Kevin to various revolutionary army bases on the sea.

Without coordinates or detailed addresses, the teleportation of the Flying Thunder God Technique allowed the two to come and go in an instant.

During the emergency rescue, Yixiao saw ordinary people who used to be like zombies just trying to survive, now they were proud in the face of pain, and there was a color in their eyes that had never been seen anywhere else.

On the 25 islands of the East China Sea, in the newly built towns that are like paradise, the elderly have a place to rely on and the young are well cared for, and everyone is full of hope for the future.

There are nearly two hundred islands like this in the entire ocean.

And in a country in the North Sea, which was once a non-member country and was plundered by pirates and the navy, it has now been completely transformed.

On the surface, this has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army, but the formation of the National Guard was indeed organized by the Revolutionary Army.

There is no king here, but there is a group of people in charge, each of whom represents a group.

Yixiao and Kevin walked on the streets of this country. When they passed by a school, they heard laughter; when they passed by a market, they heard the hustle and bustle and tranquility of the downtown.

Soon it was time to go home from school. A smiling man passed by the school gate with a blind stick, and Kevin followed behind him.

Soon, five or six children came over. A little boy exhaled as if to encourage himself: "Uncle, do you need help?"

He smiled and was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly, revealing the hideous wounds on his eyes.

The children were obviously frightened, but they did not scatter. Instead, they whispered something.

"Uncle is really pitiful..."

"Was he stabbed by a pirate?"

"Uncle should be a guard, right?"

"If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to study here safely."

"Let's help the uncle get home!"

"Yeah, let's do it together!"

The children quickly reached a consensus.

It was still the little boy who took the lead, asking where Yixiao's home was, and they could hold hands and take him home.

A little girl next to him also said: "Uncle can wait for us here at this time every day, and we can help you go home after school."

For a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and all the wrinkles were squeezed together.

"I don't have a home, but thank you anyway."

He said with a smile and took out his pocket. A few candies he had hidden were lying in his palm: "Do you want some? They are very sweet."

However, unlike what he had imagined, no child reached for the candy.

"Because the uncle can't see, we want to help him. But we don't know whether he is a good person or a bad person."

"Bad people won't openly say they are bad people, so even if we are children, we must learn to protect ourselves."

"We will only send you to the street side when we send you back home."

"We must protect ourselves while maintaining our kind hearts. We are very smart!"

The children said a few words, but Yixiao was stunned.

Just like what was seen before in the East China Sea Taijila Wolf, what the revolutionary army handed over to the people of this country did not seem to be truth... but wisdom.

Everything he had seen and heard this week, many things he had sensed, were all connected at this moment.

Thought and wisdom, or perhaps enlightenment.

But in the mouths of the revolutionary army, this is an awakening of thought.

While helping those who are suffering, we are also teaching them to think, to distinguish right from wrong, and to learn how to gain a glimmer of light in this world.

Not far behind the crowd, Kevin was watching this scene. What he was thinking about was not the kindness of the children, but how long the country, which had been liberated in this way, could remain undiscovered.

It was different from the Olga Kingdom nearly ten years ago. It was too early to establish such a large base by stealth.

And now... spreading ideas and forming a base among the local people is the safest method.

The guards, school teachers, and administrators are all members who have been developed on the spot and have remained silent.

Vegapunk's research progress is still too slow.

"Amin!"

At this moment, a shout made the children stunned.

I saw a middle-aged man from the school running over and standing directly between the child and Yixiao.

"I've told you twice! An adult won't need a child's help unless he's planning on deceiving you!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stared and smiled, and his eyes quickly locked onto the blind stick knife.

“You are not from this country!”

Yixiao hid the blind stick awkwardly, but it was obviously of no use.

Just as the teacher was about to call for the guards, Kevin stepped forward and put his hand on Yixiao's shoulder, bowing slightly to the teacher: "I'm so sorry, I'll leave now."

The next moment, while the teacher turned around and called for people, Kevin and Yixiao disappeared from the spot.

……

A noodle shop in Alabasta.

The blind swordsman happily ate the soba in front of him, and his whole state was completely different from a week ago.

And according to Kevin's observation Haki, the aura of the blind swordsman in front of him was heavier than a week ago.

While abandoning his past will and denying his former self, he also welcomed new will, new ideals and goals.

"call……"

After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup, he let out a satisfied sigh with a smile.

Kevin smiled and said, "Mr. Yixiao really likes to eat this kind of noodles."

He smiled and replied, "Compared to you, how can someone like me be called sir? If it weren't for you, I would still be confused about the future."

Kevin: "I'm just a guide."

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "At first, I thought about joining the navy, because at least they represent justice on the surface. Later, I saw some of the evil deeds of the navy, and the O'Hara incident published in the New Times, which also made me lose confidence in the navy."

"And pasta... it was the only food we had at that time."

(Note: Sorry, I am really distracted by Yixiao all the time, so let’s call him Fujitora. I know his name is Yixiao and Fujitora is a code name, but Yixiao really distracts me a bit.)
...At this point Fujitora paused, then changed the subject: "Sir, you haven't told me the relationship between my ability and the future... I'm just curious, so."

After the words fell, Kevin thought for a moment and replied: "You are the only one who can use the observation Haki to attach power to meteorites outside the planet. Eight hundred years ago, this world once had several continents..."

Just one sentence made Fujitora's heart tighten.

Eight hundred years ago...

The O'Hara incident published in the New Era stated that the reason why the World Government destroyed O'Hara was because of that blank 100-year history.

Kevin continued, "The hole in the sea area of ​​Judicial Island is basically certain to be man-made. The same is true for the submergence of the mainland."

Suddenly, Fujitora realized the usefulness of his ability.

But being able to form a hollow force like Judicial Island... How is it possible? !
Although the fourth issue of the New Age newspaper had a report on the truth of the world, such a thing was really unimaginable.

Kevin smiled and brought Fujitora back to his senses.

"The enemy is strong, but we will not give up the resistance just because it is strong, right? Dawn will eventually come, and darkness will pass. We are prepared."

Kevin then stood up and sent Fujitora to a base of the Revolutionary Army where they were studying on the Grand Line.

This is what Kevin mentioned two days ago.

In the revolutionary army, no matter how strong their fighting ability is, anyone who fails to pass the ideological assessment cannot become an official member.

What the revolutionary army has always attached importance to is firmness of thought.

……

Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

After sending Fujitora to the base to study, Kevin returned again and came to the royal palace of this country.

In the palace, Kevin's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared. The black spell moved on the ground, allowing him to walk into the palace easily without anyone noticing.

In the meeting hall, unlike Kevin, an ordinary little boy rushed in here alone from outside the palace.

Obviously, they were able to remain safe and sound because of King Cobra's suggestion.

"Our...our village has dried up!"

"Why? Why don't you come and help us!"

The little boy in the headscarf clenched his fists, tears welling up in his eyes.

However, a fat uncle rushed in soon after, pressed the boy's head down and asked Cobra for forgiveness.

Cobra then praised the boy's courage and suggested that the people of the village come to Albana first, but opposed the use of dancing powder to cause rain, saying that it would bring disaster to the country's climate.

Kevin sighed as he watched all this.

So sometimes monarchs like Cobra and King Riku can be the biggest obstacle to liberation and change.

Soon, the little boy was taken away by his father.

Cobra looked at Ikalem and said, "Send the Royal Army to that village and bring enough food and water. We must ensure that no casualties occur among the people."

Ikalem agreed, then sighed: "The rain has been getting less and less recently. Albana has had plenty of rain, but other places..."

Cobra looked serious and said, "We can't use dancing powder. It will bring disaster to the whole country."

At this time, a figure walked out.

"Dancing powder will change the rainfall, but the rainfall in Alabasta is actually limited. So if dancing powder is used, the rainfall in other places will decrease accordingly."

As Kevin looked at Cobra, Ikalem, whose hair was as white as instant noodles, and the young man with ink all over his face blocked their king.

At the same time, two rows of guards raised their spears and surrounded Kevin.

【Note: The one who made the agreement is King Riku.】

Cobra did not panic, but asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is...?"

Kevin did not answer, but turned to look at the guards surrounding him.

"I'm really sorry, but before I reveal my identity, you should all get some sleep."

For a moment, a red halo formed by the domineering aura appeared, and the sense of oppression fluctuated around it.

"Om..."

"Boom."

In just a few seconds, all the guards in the meeting hall fainted except Kevin and the three people at the top.

Then a black spell moved on the ground, Kevin disappeared instantly, and when he appeared again he was already behind the three people.

"Shh!"

A long sword was swung, but Kevin caught it with one hand.

"Don't be so nervous, Captain of the Alabasta Guard."

Kevin's voice was gentle: "The display of my ability is just to show my identity. Let those guards get some sleep... You don't want the World Government to know that I'm here, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin put down the long knife.

Cobra immediately stopped the young Bell and said, "Sir, your fame and power are known all over the world. We are no match for you."

Kevin sighed, "I've already apologized, although it's still rude. And this time I came to Alabasta, I also wanted to give it a try."

try?

Hearing this, Cobra's eyes narrowed slightly: "Alabasta is one of the member states of the World Government. If you want to try something, you shouldn't come here."

After their eyes met, Kevin shook his head slightly: "Although you don't know many secrets, just based on the fragments you know, you shouldn't put yourself or the country of Alabasta on the side of the World Government."

After the words fell, Ikalem and Bell were unclear, but Cobra's body was shaking slightly.

Kevin continued, "Neither the captain of the guard nor the lieutenant fell asleep. This is my respect for a kind king. What follows is related to the secrets of the royal family, so..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but all three of them could understand them.

Bell was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, if the other party said this intentionally..."

"You guys should leave first."

Cobra frowned.

Bell was about to say something when Ikalem grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "It doesn't matter whether we are here or not to do what that person wants to do. Besides, it's not our place to pry into the secrets of the royal family."

Ten minutes later, Kevin and Cobra were the only ones left in the meeting room, and the guard who had been unconscious was also carried out.

However, when Ikalem and the other man left, Cobra did not forget to remind them about the drying-up problem of Kosa village and asked them to send the guards to help them as soon as possible.

This scene made Kevin feel emotional again.

After the door of the meeting hall was closed, Kevin spoke up, "The Nefertari clan of Alabasta have actually inherited that hidden name since eight hundred years ago, right? How can you, with that kind of people, be on the same side as the World Government?"

Just the opening sentence made Cobra's whole body tremble.

"Sir... How could you..."

Kevin replied: "Among the twenty kings who founded the World Government, only the Queen of Alabasta and her family did not move to Marijoa. After that, the Queen's surname became a hidden name..."

"So Alabasta is naturally on the opposite side of the World Government... Cobra."

Hearing this, Cobra sat back on the throne, his hands clenched into fists and trembling slightly: "So, Your Excellency is using this secret as a threat? Then you succeeded!"

"Not really."

Kevin's voice interrupted him.

Cobra looked up suddenly, but found that the other party did not have any intention of joking.

Kevin continued: "Alabasta is different from Dressrosa, so I want to give it a try. After all, if we continue to wait, it will only increase casualties."

"Of course, this is just an attempt. You can refuse, and I will not reveal the secrets of Alabasta to anyone."

Cobra frowned, pondering the meaning of these words and the other party's expression which did not seem to be false.

If they wanted to force Alabasta to join the Revolutionary Army and openly fight against the World Government, they should not have stunned the Guards just now, nor should they have let Ikareem and Bell leave.

The best solution to the other party's goal is to naturally determine Alabasta's position.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Kevin then said: "Put the revolutionary army into the education, military, and people's livelihood management of Alabasta to cooperate in the formation of ideological changes."

A change of mind?
Cobra was a little unable to understand, but such an approach would inevitably make Alabasta a part of the Revolutionary Army.

As a member who was able to attend the World Conference, Cobra had some understanding of Marijoa.

A monarch who can even eliminate natural disasters...

[Note: These words come from King Riku, who is also one of the kings qualified for the World Conference]

With such power, Alabasta's change of position would bring disaster to the country.

"I reject."

After getting the expected answer, Kevin sighed.

"Cobra."

There was no anger in his tone after being rejected, just a hint of sigh.

"Sometimes weakness is the original sin. Even as a king, if you are powerless to resist, you will be schemed against. The disaster of this country is about to begin. If you change your mind one day, you can contact me."

After leaving behind a small communication device, Kevin also left behind an instruction manual.

"I need to tell you in advance...if you agree, there will be no king in Alabasta in the future."

Give up your royal status?
Cobra looked at the small intercom in front of him, and when he looked up again, he found that the cloaked man who was just in front of him had disappeared.
