His face was filled with resentment, both towards the original Qing Kingdom family and towards this cruel world.
"Here, please allow me to apologize to this young lady for what happened in the Qing Kingdom!"
He casually placed his cane on the ground, then knelt down and sincerely bowed his proud head to Nolan.
"Get up, Security Officer! The problems in the Qing Kingdom are not your fault; it's the royal family that's too incompetent."
"And we were very lucky to meet Captain Cifer. Many people in Rona Town were rescued by the captain, and now they are all living very well!"
Nolan accepted the adoration he had received throughout his life without blaming him, and instead helped him up.
It is not the fault of a virtuous person to stand in a country of petty people.
"But in the end, you can only not see the dirty faces of those people, but you are powerless to do anything about the endless stream of despicable people."
Can I think of it that way?
After getting the answer she wanted, Nolan slowly returned to Cifer's side, but the latter would hurl insults at her throughout her life.
Cifer admired his character, but felt only regret for his act of blinding himself.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."
From Nolan's words, I learned that Ulquiorra was the man who saved the residents of Rona Town.
He could no longer put on a stern face and treat the other party as a vicious pirate.
Even if Ulquiorra is truly a walking evil, as people say, he is also a benefactor who saved the common people he could not save in his lifetime.
"Then join me!"
Cifer stood up and extended his right hand. Even though he had been blind all his life, he could still sense his movements with his Observation Haki.
"I feel guilty about what happened in the Qing Kingdom; I am also very grateful to you for saving the residents of Rona Town."
"Please forgive me, I do not wish to become a pirate who makes children stop crying and who commits all kinds of evil."
Instead of directly refusing, he hesitated for a moment, seemingly pondering what words to use to respond to his invitation.
"Then you have even less to worry about. We are not pirates. We are just people who have a bounty on our heads by the World Government and are therefore considered pirates by the general public."
Nolan smiled and answered casually.
"Then what is your purpose?"
Yisheng didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he slightly opened his eyes, staring intently at Cifer with the whites of his eyes.
Although he was blind, he was not truly blind; in fact, he could see many things more clearly than before.
"Overthrow the World Government, straighten this distorted world, destroy the so-called 'descendants of God,' and end the ridiculous 'Great Pirate Era'!"
Cifer responded.
There are enough travelers and adventurers on the high seas; pirates shouldn't exist in the first place, and the Great Pirate Era should come to an end.
"This... this..."
The casino owner and his subordinates couldn't help but swallow hard. Hearing Ulquiorra utter such treasonous words, they were all afraid that they would be silenced.
He wanted to run away, but his trembling legs wouldn't cooperate, and he dared not take a step in front of them.
"That's quite an ambitious ideal. Although I don't think it will succeed, I'm willing to give it a try with you."
He finally got the answer he wanted, and his palm clasped with Cifer's outstretched right hand.
Since the Qing Kingdom incident, he had been living a confused and aimless life, though he had considered making a difference in the world.
But what can he change?
An ordinary person who is slightly stronger but has no power cannot cause a ripple in this Great Pirate Era.
He had considered joining the navy, believing that with his abilities, he might be able to climb to a high position and perhaps then have the power to change things.
But I'm already quite old, and I don't know anyone in higher positions. I'm not one to flatter or fawn over anyone, so becoming a high-ranking official seems like a distant dream.
The harsh reality dampened his lifelong passion, leaving him with no choice but to immerse himself in gambling.
Even if he only sees a glimmer of light now, as long as that light shines on him, he is willing to risk his life for it.
"In that case, deduct the amount this guy owes from the money he owes me!"
Having achieved the purpose of this trip and even made some extra money, Cifer has no intention of staying in this place any longer.
"Clear!"
The casino manager wore an expression worse than death, but he had no choice but to order his subordinates to carry it out.
Originally, he thought he could preserve his reputation without offending this man, but unexpectedly, he lost both his wife and his army.
Fortunately, it seems they survived.
"This is really troublesome, Ulquiorra."
Throughout my life, I have never been pretentious; I have only offered a quiet thank you.
"Since we're companions, you can call me Cifer."
"Let's go, Uncle Yisheng! This time, follow behind us and carry out your justice!"
Cifer strode out of the casino, Nolan beckoned with her small hand, causing six suitcases that the casino owner had been carrying to float in the air and follow her as the captain sailed away.
"I have no intention of dwelling on the past. You'd better take care of yourselves!"
Yisheng paused for a moment, said something in the direction of the casino manager, and then followed the two in his wooden clogs.
"Boss... what should we do now?"
One of the dealers spoke up and asked the manager, who was watching them leave in a daze.
"What should we do? We should find someone to renovate the casino!"
The person in charge slapped him across the face. Now that all the experts have left, he has to find a place to vent his anger.
After this incident, the casino's finances may be in trouble, and without the "Life" brand, its security will undoubtedly suffer.
It's uncertain whether it can retain its title as the largest casino.
The person in charge is currently very angry.
He slowly walked toward the cheating dealer, who knew he was doomed and could only watch helplessly as the manager approached.
"A new companion? Interesting!"
Little Ul.
This island, filled with gambling and some unspeakable elements, made Robin and the others feel very bored, and Kuma didn't want to take Bonney to such a place either.
So after they finished shopping and buying food, they returned to the ship to wait, and Enel heard the news of his life joining them.
"A new companion? Looks like the Security Officer Nolan was looking for!"
Robin guessed it right away.
After all, Nolan's descriptions of them as benevolent, powerful yet not abusive, all resonated with Cifer.
"When the new recruit arrives, he must be made to serve under General Chopper!"
Chopper struck a heroic pose, imagining the impressive scene of having a little brother following him when he went out in the future.
"Is your name General Chopper? I am Isamu, nice to meet you!"
As everyone was talking, Cifer and the others appeared behind them, and Yisheng politely introduced himself to them.
"Hey~ Hello! I'm Tony Tony Chopper, nice to meet you!"
Seeing this, Chopper quickly bent down and introduced himself, completely forgetting the boastful words he had just uttered.
