Some people need a convincing reason to justify murder, they need to stand on the side of 'justice', and then they can take others' lives under the name of judgment.

But some people don't need these cumbersome steps and those troublesome explanations.

If you annoy me, I'll kill you!

It's that simple!

There is no need for any other reason to convince people.

How does that saying go?

I kill you, it's none of your concern.

Because this is the way 'villains' act!

That's why Abel said that he was a bad guy, who committed murder and arson, in answer to Issho's question.

As for the real reason to publicly judge that Navy colonel, it was merely to give Issho a reason not to stop him.

In fact, he didn't need it at all!

When that repulsive guy foolishly asked him for Baby-5, he had already sentenced him to death in his mind!

Issho had not expected such a response, and the polite smile on his face had long since disappeared.

"You're so young, yet so powerful. It's truly a pity."

Though Issho's tone was still calm and courteous, he no longer referred to him as a 'young friend', indicating his internal discontent.

"There's nothing to pity about," Abel responded, "If it weren't for the Donquixote Family, I, a homeless guy, might have starved to death by now."

"Why not try joining the Navy? While there are worms and cancerous elements like the one we just encountered, not everyone in the Navy is like that. I believe most of the Navy are righteous. If they see your situation, they certainly wouldn't refuse."

Issho was right. It's actually quite easy to join the Navy in this world, even very welcome!

Due to the need to combat the enormous number of pirates, the Navy's casualties have always been high, and manpower is lacking everywhere.

The annual recruitment issue is always a matter of great concern to the higher-ups in the Navy.

Therefore, every Navy branch has the right to recruit new soldiers at any time, and they seldom refuse anyone who wants to join.

They usually review one's family background, but most of the time, it's just a formality.

Perhaps only the Navy's headquarters recruits new soldiers through rigorous selection, and the audit standards are said to be strict.

But there's no need to consider such a situation. This is North Blue, not the Navy headquarters.

"Hehe, the Navy."

"Why are you laughing?"

"Mr. Issho, I suspect you've only recently arrived in North Blue. Since you're here, you might as well take a tour and enjoy the beautiful scenery of North Blue. Oh, there's a place called 'White Town'. It's as pristine as a snowy country in a fairy tale, beautiful as a terrestrial paradise. If you have the opportunity, you can go and see."

Abel didn't explain further. Some things, no matter how much he talked about them, could never compare to seeing them firsthand. That would help understand his choices better.

Then he picked up someone's head, left with Baby-5.

Honestly, although there were some minor regrets, he was very satisfied.

Issho was still the same Issho, unchanged by adding or shedding layers of righteousness.

His heart's ideals never changed.

This indeed made him admire Issho.

If he hadn't chosen this path, he might have been very willing to stay and continue the conversation.

But regrettably, there are no ifs.

So, there's nothing much to talk about. Words are excessive when ideas don't match.

"Mr. Issho, the day you join the Navy, we'll become enemies."

'I really want to know, when we meet again, whether you, with the entire Navy, would apologize on behalf of the World Government for the mistakes they've made, and for the innocent people in Dressrosa who lost their lives.'

'Perhaps you will, after all, you are Fujitora, Issho!'

Abel's thoughts didn't leave his lips; he seemed more like he was asking Issho, who might have become an Admiral of the Navy many years in the future.

Of course, Issho definitely couldn't hear him.

"White Town, huh? It seems that's my next destination. As for here... I can only wait for another chance to gamble," Issho muttered, shaking his head. He walked away, preparing to leave.

He didn't dwell on his words about the 'killing.' In his eyes, that kind of Navy worm deserved more than death!

If the Navy were to come after him just because he spoke 'fair words' that others didn't dare to say, trying to distort right and wrong, then they shouldn't blame him if he draws his sword in anger!

Indeed, it's terrifying when an ordinarily honest person loses their temper!

As Issho left the gambling city, all the hired hands around were pressed hard onto the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.

"This is a warning. Dare to obstruct again, and this will be your fate!" Issho lightly sheathed his sword, and suddenly, a large hole appeared in the ground where he had just walked.

Everyone was shocked, even showing signs of fear!

Who would have thought, besides that madman Abel, another master would emerge?!

No wonder this blind man dared to interfere with the conflict between the Navy and the Donquixote Family. He had his own confidence.

Doug, who had originally planned to capture Issho and hand him over to the Navy, looked worse after seeing this scene, as if he were about to grind his teeth to bits!

In just one day, three individuals had surfaced who refused to give him face; he was absolutely livid.

But just by seeing the slight display of power by that blind man, he knew he stood no chance against him in terms of force.

Since he couldn't afford to provoke him, he could only watch helplessly as he left.

Otherwise, the foolish Navy colonel who met his demise earlier would serve as a lesson.

So, he decided to leave the handling of this unpredictable force to the stubborn Navy; he didn't want to be involved anymore!

Soon, the Navy, upon receiving the news, sent people to collect the miserable colonel's corpse.

When they learned that the missing head was taken away directly by an executive of the Donquixote Family, the faces of the Navy present turned quite ugly.

But they couldn't act out their anger for now and had to swallow it.

As for the gambling city, they decided to close for a month and reassess the situation.

After all, even a Navy colonel died here, could they act as if nothing had happened?

The King of Usury's influence wasn't that powerful.

Then, in less than two days, the 88th Navy branch located in North Blue received a gift deliberately delivered by the Donquixote Family.

A head, with the words 'Navy' and 'Disgrace' carved on the left and right sides, respectively.

"This is no longer just a provocation, it's a blatant slap in the face of the Navy!"

What angered people even more was that Vice Admiral Tsuru forbade them to seek revenge?!
