Pirates: I, the Dragon Man

"Mr. Yixiao, it's almost time. You can leave."

Looking at the watch in his hand, the assistant in a neat suit knocked on the door and reminded him respectfully. At this time, Fujitora, who had been leaning on the chair behind the desk with his eyes closed, opened his eyes——

crunch~

"Well, sorry, I took a short break. Is the time already up?"

"Yes, Mr. Yixiao, the World Government ships have arrived at the port, and now they are waiting for you at the door."

"Is that so? Then let's go."

In the usually busy city hall, it was extremely quiet at the moment. There was only the "beep" sound of the rattan knotweed knife on the ground, and even the footsteps of the two people were so gentle~

There was no one in the city hall. At this moment, all the staff were standing at their door, staring at this blind man who seemed to have never left here in the past few years.

From initial doubt to later recognition and now respect, sometimes all it takes is one term.

Fujitora walked quietly in front, his assistant followed behind him, and the others stood at their respective posts and watched silently——

"Mr. Yixiao. We are members of CP6, and we have been ordered to take you to the Holy Land of Mariejoia to attend the World Government Administrative Conference and report to the Celestial Dragons, Five Old Stars and the top leaders of the World Government.

If you have nothing else, please follow me. "

Just as Fujitora raised his staff and sword a little, he suddenly paused, his expression hesitant.

"Huh? Mr. Yixiao? What's the matter?"

"Um, can you wait a moment? I want to meet an old friend."

……

"Huh? Uncle?!

Hello! Uncle! It's dangerous to stand there! "

The northeastern corner of Elpita Island, where the terrain is relatively high, is a cliff. Fujitora, the first island governor, is standing on the cliff at this time, facing the sea, enjoying the fresh sea breeze with sadness——

Then a young boy's voice interrupted his thoughts.

A young man who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old stood far away in the tree, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea view with great satisfaction. Then he saw Fujitora. After a brief doubt, he immediately screamed in horror——

I saw the "crutch" in Fujitora's hand.

Then, he walked through the rocks as gracefully as an ape walking through the woods, and came to Fujitora's side.

"Young man, what's wrong? I'm just here to enjoy the scenery. I didn't do anything dangerous."

Fujitora turned his head and looked at the boy in confusion. The boy was stunned when he saw the latter's closed eyes. He swallowed, looked around, and kept a distance from Fujitora without leaving any trace. At the same time, he laughed dryly. :

"Haha, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that you might fall suddenly. The drop of more than ten meters is quite high."

Although he couldn't see it, the boy's movements could not hide Fujitora's perception at all. He frowned inwardly:

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about this height - are you a local?"

The young man became more and more alert. He knelt down and picked up a stone, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Yes, I am indeed a local. How about you, uncle?"

“I’m not a local, but I will probably be staying on the island for a long time.

Also, brother, why did you pick up the stone? Do you want to bring harm to me? "

The young man's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but his tone still pretended to be relaxed:

"Haha, uncle, you must be a pirate, right?"

Fujitora:(?????)?????

"Well, why do you think I'm a pirate?"

Fujitora scratched his head in confusion, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"ha?

Uncle, stop pretending!

You must be a pirate! You are still a pirate abandoned by your companions. The captain left you here. Otherwise, how could you be here as a blind man? "

Fujitora was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin:

"What you said makes sense, but I'm really not a pirate. I am an archon sent by the World Government to build this island."

"Huh? Uncle, are you kidding me? Can a blind man be a consul?"

The boy's surprised tone made Fujitora a little embarrassed and said:

"Actually, I am also thinking about this issue, but I was indeed sent to be the consul."

"Haha, uncle, you really know how to joke. If you are really the consul, then I will help you read the documents from now on, right?

It just so happens that I am also familiar with this island. "

"Then it's settled."

"???"

Before the boy could react, a big hand suddenly grabbed him, and then, the rocks under his feet floated into the air and flew towards the town.

……

"Since it is construction, the first priority is food, clothing, housing and transportation, right? Cassius, what is the main source of food on this island?"

"Thirty percent is from farming, and 70% comes from going to sea, but building ships is very troublesome because pirates infest and destroy it from time to time, so everyone lives in poverty."

"Is that so? Then let's cut down the trees to build ships first. Abbas, please go catch a sea king to make food."

……

"Well, Mr. Tezzolo, happy to work with you."

"Haha, don't worry, this island still has potential. If developed, it can be used as a small transfer station."

"We also consider this. The positioning of this island is business and tourism."

"Then, let's do this next time. If you need anything in the future, Mr. Yixiao, you can contact me at any time. Mary Joa's auction is about to be held. I need to go back to the Holy Land."

"Well, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. Say hello to the young master for me."

"Will do."

……

"Is that Mr. Tezzolo, the Minister of Commerce? How amazing! I heard that his talents are very outstanding. From the time he took over the Ministry of Commerce to its development to the present, he has made great efforts. Moreover, I heard that he himself is also very strong. .”

"Haha, you're so excited, why don't you go get an autograph?"

"Hmph! When you retire, I will also run for consulship. Then we can see you often."

"Oh? I didn't expect that your ambitions are quite big. Then, come on. As long as you are recognized by the people on the island, the world government will usually agree."

"Don't worry! Oh, by the way, you are going to inspect the construction of the school on the island next."

"Let's go..."

……

"Gravity Knife·Tiger!"

"Hiss, you destroyed these pirate ships with one sword? Uncle, you are so strong!"

"You have a good talent. You will master this level of strength in the future."

"Um, but I haven't mastered Haki yet..."

"You have just mastered Haki after just one year of training. Do you think you are also that kind of monster?"

……

"The hospital has successfully opened today. Because of the subsidies from the world government and the island, residents do not have to spend much money for medical treatment. In the past two months since the sea train has been in operation, the island's trade volume has increased by 30% every month.

Moreover, thanks to the hot spring industry on the island, more and more people are traveling. "

"Really, that's really good news. How is the implementation of the health regulations going?"

"Currently, on the island..."

……

"Uncle! Our island's GDP has doubled this year compared to last year!"

……

"Uncle! While ensuring medical education and people's livelihood, our taxes have finally been raised! Great! The World Government has subsidized funds for two years, and this year we finally don't have to ask for money from the Holy Land!"

……

"Oh, I don't know why, but I always feel a little unwell recently."

……

"I'm sorry, uncle, I've been absent from work for more than a month, really. When I get better, I must make up for it! I want to be the next consul!"

……

"Uncle, I'm embarrassing you. It's obviously just a pirate group. Even though I've been learning from Mr. Abbas for so long, I still haven't mastered the armed haki.

Their shells are very powerful and they want to destroy our harbor - how can this be done? It took a long time to rebuild the port after it was destroyed.

Moreover, there are so many people at the port!

It took a lot of effort to build Erpita to the level it is today. How could I let them destroy it? I have always demanded myself as the next consul! "

……

"Uncle, I'm a little sleepy."

……

"Uncle, let me talk to my family, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have a chance..."
