Phoenix Reborn In One Piece-Chapter 308 – Aokiji and Issho!

In the Kingdom of Prodence, inside a large casino.

The casino owner was gambling with a blind man who held a cane-sword, along with a group of gambling experts.

But now, the owner looked panicked, wiping the sweat from his forehead over and over with a handkerchief.

All of his gambling pros had already lost to this blind man. The worst part was—if he lost this round too, he might lose everything he owned.

"This round... y-y-you want to bet big or small?" the owner stuttered, staring at the pile of Berries the blind man had already won.

If their best gambler hadn’t already been beaten by this blind guy, the owner would’ve never kept betting. But now, it looked like he was going to lose even his last penny.

At the bar, Aokiji sat back in casual clothes, sipping on a glass of chilled wine, quietly watching the blind man.

The blind man was Issho.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Prodence, Aokiji followed the directions given by the Dream Exploration Group and quickly found Issho, who had been wandering from one casino to another.

The moment Aokiji laid eyes on him, he knew Issho wasn’t just some ordinary man.

He could feel that Issho gave off the aura of a top-level fighter. And with that cane-sword of his, Aokiji finally understood why the Dream Exploration Group believed this man had what it took to become a Marine Admiral.

The only thing still unclear was what kind of justice this blind gambler believed in.

That’s why Aokiji had been watching him closely ever since they met. And now, he was quite satisfied with what he had seen. freēwēbnovel.com

He saw Issho use the money he won to help a lot of poor people.

Aokiji was sure that once Issho joined the Marines, they’d have plenty to talk about. Their views on justice would probably line up pretty well, too.

"This round..."

"I’ll go with big again," Issho said without a hint of hesitation.

Instantly, the casino owner’s face turned even paler.

With trembling hands, he lifted the dice cup. Everyone watching saw the dice—big again!

The owner looked like he could already see what was coming: the casino going bankrupt, him losing everything, his dozen beautiful wives walking away, and his rich, comfortable life coming to an end...

A cold chill ran down his spine. His whole body shook.

He couldn’t accept it. His world was falling apart. His eyes went dull and empty, as if his soul had left him.

The casino went completely silent. Everyone was staring in shock.

They couldn’t believe what they just saw—this blind man had guessed right eight times in a row! Did he really have some kind of special power? Or was his luck just insane?

But to the casino owner, none of that mattered anymore.

All he knew was that his fate was sealed. He was about to lose everything. He dropped into a chair, buried his head in his hands, and sank into despair.

Then the whole place exploded with noise.

Everyone knew the truth—this last round, the owner had bet everything he had.

And now, he lost.

"Hehehe~"

"Judging from everyone’s reaction, I made the right bet again..."

"According to our deal, everything in this casino is now mine," Fujitora said with a relaxed smile.

"That’s right... you won. You took everything I had..." the casino boss muttered.

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage and despair. He stared at Fujitora like a wild animal that had lost everything.

Suddenly, the casino boss pulled out a golden pistol from inside his coat. His face twisted with madness as he burst into wild laughter. "Hahaha! Damn blind fool, go to hell!!!"

Right after shouting, the casino boss pulled the trigger without hesitation.

*Bang!*

The sound of a gunshot shattered the silence in the casino.

Then came several more shots. *Bang bang bang...* The boss fired wildly at Fujitora.

As soon as the people around heard the gunshots, their faces turned pale with fear. Everyone started to panic and tried to run.

But just as they were about to reach the exit, they stopped in shock.

All the bullets fired at Fujitora dropped to the ground before hitting him!

*Clink clink clink~~~*

The sound of bullets hitting the floor echoed through the casino.

Everyone inside stood frozen, mouths wide open, eyes filled with disbelief at what they were seeing.

Only Aokiji noticed — Fujitora had slightly drawn the sword from his cane.

"You bastard!"

"Everyone, get him! Take him down!!" the casino boss roared.

"Ahhh!!"

In a flash, all the hired thugs in the casino screamed and rushed at Fujitora.

But none of them could even touch the edge of his coat. Fujitora dodged every strike with a few simple moves.

Then—

He finally drew his sword.

*Slash~*

*Slash slash~~~*

The sound of a blade cutting through flesh filled the room.

"Ugh!"

"Help me!!"

...

Fujitora struck with fierce precision, taking down every thug. In the end, only the casino boss was left, shaking in fear.

Everyone else had already fled the casino.

Cries of pain echoed across the room.

Fujitora slowly slid his spotless sword back into its sheath.

"So heavy..."

"Ahhh!"

"My bones... they’re going to break..."

The casino boss and the injured thugs suddenly screamed in terror.

Behind the bar, the bartender had hidden himself, trembling. Aokiji was still holding his glass of wine, but now he looked at Fujitora with a serious expression.

It really was gravity.

*Crack crack crack~~~*

Fujitora kept applying pressure. The floor in the middle of the casino finally gave way, splitting open to reveal a deep, dark pit. The boss and all the thugs fell straight into it!

"Out of sight, out of mind."

"There are too many dirty people in this world that are hard to look at," Fujitora muttered as he opened his white eyes and stared into the abyss.

...

"Alala~"

"In that case... would you be interested in helping me change this world a little?" Aokiji walked over and invited Fujitora directly.

"Hehehe~"

"You’re pretty strong too. Are you a pirate... or a Marine?" Fujitora asked calmly, looking at Aokiji.

"Marine Headquarters Admiral, Aokiji."

Aokiji didn’t hide anything and told him who he was right away.
