Chapter 174
“Ron… The name is somewhat familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere. ”
Thinking with a smile.
Ron took a sip of noodle soup and said, “Traveler Ron, do you have an impression of this name?” ”
A smile condensed slightly.
“Remember, it seems that being famous is not entirely a bad thing.”
Ron laughed.
“What is the big criminal wanted by the world government and the navy doing when he comes to the old man, a nameless blind man?”
He smiled and ate a bite of noodles.
“It’s always blind, even I feel offended.”
The young man said helplessly.
He smiled at the hand holding the chopsticks and raised his head with a puzzled expression.
“What do you mean by that?”
At this time, a person in a position next to him whispered: “Look over there, the old and the young are all blind.” ”
“Really, it’s funny enough for two blind people to eat noodles together.”
“Can the two of them really pay the bill? You’re going to be slaughtered. ”
“Let’s see.”
……
The conversation that the two thought they whispered could be heard by Ron and Yixiao extremely clearly.
“Why did Ron, the famous traveler, become a blind man like his old man?”
Smiled at Ron and asked.
“It’s not a problem for me, and I’ll be able to open my eyes after a while.”
“I would like to ask what is going on with your eyes?”
Ron took a bite and said, “Did someone else get it or did you make it yourself?” ”
After a smile and silence for a moment, he said sadly, “Myself.” ”
“Why?”
“There are too many dirty and vulgar people in the world, and it is a blessing not to look at things.”
“Is this your benevolence? Or is it just an escape? ”
Ron smiled.
Yixiao did not speak again, buried his head in the noodles, and quickly finished the bowl of noodles.
“There you have it.”
After smiling and putting down the bowl, he stood up, picked up the cane knife next to him and walked out.
Ron smiled, dropped a gold coin on the table, and followed him out of the noodle shop.
On the street.
Ron, dressed in black, walked leisurely behind Yixiao.
“How long will Your Excellency follow me?”
“I don’t have much to do right now, it’s better to be with you than to make any big deals.”
“……。”
“And I also have something I want to talk to you about.”
……………………
June 1520 of the Maritime Calendar.
Luffy and Solon arrive in Orange Town, where they clash with Bucky, who occupies the town, and run into Nami, who is temporarily staying in the Bucky Pirates.
After Luffy hits Bucky with a rubber rocket, Nami asks Luffy, “Are you planning to go to the Great Route?” ”
“Of course, I’m going to be One Piece’s man.”
“That… If I give you a chart of the great voyage, can you take me with you on the great voyage? ”
Nami pulls out the chart she stole from Bucky and says to Luffy and Solon.
“Okay.”
Luffy said without the slightest hesitation.
After Nami gets on board and shows her extensive knowledge of navigation, Luffy proposes to let her join their pirate group as a navigator and become his second partner.
“I’ll have to think about it.”
When Nami answered Luffy, she leaned against the edge of the boat, looking into the distance, her short orange hair was blown by the sea breeze, and her eyes were full of anticipation and nostalgia: “I promised someone to find the best sailing partner, to become a navigator who impressed him, and then meet them on the sea.” ”
Nami said, turning to Luffy and Solon and smiling, “So I can’t just be your partner.” ”
“In other words, you have to see if we are worth being your partner before you consider joining us as navigators, right?”
Solon, who was standing by with his arms folded, looked at her.
“Good.”
Nami nodded to him, “Until then, I just worked with you. ”
“Hey, hey! Is it right? ”
Luffy, who was sitting on the ground, held the straw hat on his head with one hand, grinned at Nami and showed a mouthful of white teeth, his smile was extremely cheerful and confident, “Don’t worry, we will definitely become the most suitable partner for you!” ”
……
Mid-June.
The Straw Hat Pirates, who already had three members, came to the Sea Restaurant, where they accidentally met Hawkeye, the world’s strongest swordsman who came to the East China Sea to relax, one of the seven martial seas of His Majesty.
Solon would have missed this opportunity to challenge him.
As in the original, he was easily defeated by Hawkeye holding a knife, and was seriously injured by a sword.
This battle also made Sauron, who had always been confident in his strength and swordsmanship, fully see his weakness.
How far away is it from the world.
“Roronoa Solon, I remember your name, keep getting stronger, young swordsman.”
Hawkeye withdrew the black knife night that cut off the three long knives in Solon’s hand, and Eagle glanced at Solon who was lying in a pool of blood with his chest slit, “You said you wanted to find the man named Ron, and if you see him, tell him that I am waiting for him, waiting to fight him with all my might.” ”
After saying this to Solon, Hawkeye took a coffin-like boat and left alone.
“In his eyes, is Ron already an opponent worthy of his all-out fight?”
Solon lay in a pool of blood, his consciousness was a little blurred, and in front of his eyes seemed to appear in front of him in a white Taoist costume and a bamboo knife in one hand.
In the eyes of the unconscious Sauron, the little Ron in the memory gradually turned into a young man dressed in black, with a calm expression, holding a black knife, and sharp eyes.
He was still the same as before, standing in front of the fallen Solon, his eyes glancing at him like a mountain that made Solon insurmountable.
Is that so…
Ron has also grown since leaving the hall, and now he has reached the same level as this person…
How far am I from them now…
This thought came to the mind of the severely injured Solon, making him feel powerless like never before.
“Solon!”
Extremely worried, Luffy yelled at him and ran towards him.
And just as he was about to rush to Solon, who was lying in a pool of blood.
In front of Solon, a tall and slender figure in black clothes suddenly appeared, with a black knife hanging from his waist.
Coinciding with the phantom of the man that Solon imagined when he was confused.
“Oh, it’s really miserable, Sauron.”
That somewhat familiar chuckle sounded in Solon’s ears, just as it had been then.
“Hallucinations…”
Solon tried to open his eyes and see, but he couldn’t, and gradually fainted.
