"Damn bastard, we said it's black, and that blind man can't see it anyway, but you insist on causing trouble, huh? Then get lost!!" At this moment, the thugs were enraged by Phil's contemptuous attitude, drew their knives, shouted, and slashed at him.
"Oh... so you're going to resort to violence when reasoning fails? That's quite something, just what I wanted. Well then..." Seeing these thugs preparing to use force, Phil's lips curled into a smile, and he raised his hand to retaliate.
"Oh dear, this won't do! Young man, could you please move aside? You've been deceiving me, and you're even planning to use force to bully a blind man! I'll send you to hell!" Just as Phil was about to attack, Fujitora drew his bamboo sword, shook his head, and opened his unfocused white eyes to look at the thugs, saying...
"Bullying you?! Blind?! Hey, hey, uncle, don't joke around. You can see much better than most people. With your skills, you should have noticed their despicable behavior long ago!!" When he heard Fujitora say that these clueless thugs were bullying him because he was blind and weak, Phil couldn't help but laugh and retorted.
"Even so, it would be meaningless if used for gambling. I gamble not to win money, but simply to enjoy the process. Please don't say that out loud, young man..."
"Hey, you two are about to die and you still have so much to say? Do you really not take our Donquixote Family seriously?" At this moment, the blades of several thugs approached. The leader of the group saw that they didn't take his menacing group, who were charging at him with knives raised, seriously and were talking as if they were nothing. This made him furious. His hand holding the hilt of his knife trembled, and he shouted angrily.
"Shut up!!" Before they could get angry and rush over, Phil, disturbed by their interruption, couldn't help but turn around and shout at them.
"Huh??? You dare tell me to shut up? Are you out of your mind? Men, teach them a lesson they won't forget!!"
"Oh!!"
At the leader of the thugs' shout, all the Donquixote's peripheral members nearby rushed forward, raising their knives to slash at the two men.
"That's more like it!!" Seeing that they had finally become enraged and started attacking the two, Phil nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, I'll finish you off with one more move!!"
After saying that, Phil raised his hand, ignoring Fujitora's obstruction. Strands of Blue Light emanated from his fist. Just as his entire hand was covered in blue light and he was about to throw a punch, Fujitora immediately made his move. His figure One Flash past the thugs, and he sheathed his sword.
"Hey, old man, that's not right! I was about to make my move, how could you steal my prey?!" Seeing this, Phil, knowing that making a move was pointless, immediately withdrew his fist, the Blue Light on his hand dissipated, and he said to Fujitora with dissatisfaction.
"Oh dear, sorry, young man, I already said I was going to teach them a lesson, so I acted first!!" Fujitora, somewhat embarrassed by Phil's questioning, scratched his head and replied.
"Huh?! What happened?! Did he just do something?! I didn't feel anything at all?!" While the two were talking, the dozen or so thugs who had been slashed by Fujitora's sword but hadn't noticed a single strange mark on their bodies touched themselves and asked in confusion.
Not only Luffy, but also other guests stayed away from those people, covering their mouths and looking at them with confusion.
Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...
Just then, not long after the thugs finished their questioning, the effects of Fujitora's actions began to take hold. The floor beneath their feet started to crack, and their bodies felt as if dozens of people were pressing down on them, their bones trembling and cracking.
An immense Gravity pressed down on the group, and the floor, unable to withstand the Gravity, began to crack.
boom...
"Damn it, what... did you... do?!" The group was Gravity and couldn't get up. The leader struggled and asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with hatred.
Rumble...
The next second, they were all speechless, crushed by Gravity, and the entire floor collapsed, sinking them underground.
"Wow... Wow, amazing uncle! Is this your ability?! It's really incredible!!" Luffy and his Luffy, disguised, couldn't help but walk over, gazing down at the bottomless pit below, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Ah, this is just a small skill of mine. After all, one needs some skills to defend oneself when traveling at sea!" Fujitora replied calmly after sheathing his sword, seemingly unaware of the other party's identity.
"Traveling on the sea?! Uncle, your identity isn't simple either, is it?!" Upon hearing the word "sea," Luffy seemed to remember something and asked him again.
"Well, I think it's best for me to keep this a secret for now. After all, it's better for both of us, isn't it?!" This time, Fujitora didn't answer him, but smiled mysteriously and looked at them as he replied.
After saying this, Fujitora turned and walked straight towards the gate.
"It's good for everyone?! What did he mean by that?! Could it be that he's some notorious pirate?!" Sanji, Sanji, and the Zoro were pondering the meaning of Fujitora's last words, puzzled.
"Hehehe, of course not. His identity is beyond your imagination. However, if you're just here for sightseeing and a short stay, not knowing each other's true identities is indeed better for you, and for me, and for everyone else."
Alright, I originally came here to see the strength of you new generation guys who are on par with the captain, but I didn't expect to run into this. Seeing that guy's abilities is enough. I'm going to go have some more fun now. I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet again. Bye-bye!!" After saying that, Phil waved to them and walked towards the door, not wanting to linger with them any longer.
"This guy talks like that old man from before, so confusing and annoying. But he's not wrong. Even if we don't have a chance to meet again on this island, we'll meet again in the New World as long as we don't die, right, Luffy? Yeah, Luffy..." Sanji watched Phil's departing figure, lit a cigarette, put it in his lips, and said to his companion Luffy beside him.
"Huh?! What's wrong?!" Luffy, however, was staring intently in the direction the two had left, standing there motionless until Sanji called out to him, at which point he snapped out of his daze and asked in return.
Seeing his dazed expression, Sanji his anger. He blew out a puff of smoke and said helplessly, "Phew, so you didn't hear what I just said, huh? Seriously, I meant..."
"Huh?! What happened? My sword, Shusui, where did it go?!" Just as Sanji was repeating himself, Zoro turned around and suddenly realized that Shusui, which was placed next to their table, had disappeared for some reason, and he hurriedly shouted.
"Huh?! Shusui, is that the National Treasure Famous Sword Shusui from Wano Country?! How come it's still with you, Lord Zoro? And how could it suddenly disappear? You'll have to take responsibility for losing it, Lord Zoro!!" Upon hearing the name Shusui, the Kin'emon nearby remembered seeing it before and immediately questioned him in surprise.
"Shut up! I've already said it before, Shusui was a gift to me, it's my own knife, and how I deal with it is my business!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Shusui is National Treasure of Wano Country, it has always belonged to us, and one day I will defeat you and bring it back!!"
"Huh??? Before that, I'd like to cut off your head!!"
Click...
As the two were arguing, a commotion arose, drawing their attention to the area. They spotted Shusui stuck at the window and, without hesitation, immediately gave chase.
As the group chased the fairy, they gradually scattered and went their separate ways.
Back at Fujitora's place, his subordinates had found him after he left the bar. He then went to meet up with Momousagi, who had just arrived on the island, before heading towards the palace of Doflamingo, the host.
