Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Man Who Thinks of Pirates as His Dreams
Rhodes, who was regarded as a pervert early in the morning, was walking depressedly on the road at the moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I was looking for you. Chloe walked out of the intersection on one side and came to Rhodes's side, "I was forced to stay at the villager's house last night, but you know, these people under us are all pirates, and it's okay to hold on all night, but it's hard to say after that." ”
"That's true, I'm afraid the villagers are aware of it, but for now it's just that it's the reason for the bounty hunters. Rhodes put that worry behind beforehand, "What then?"
Chloe pointed to the small clearing in the middle of the village: "Let's set up a tent in this clearing, we all sleep together, the weather is good anyway." ”
"That's fine. Rhodes agreed.
"Then I'll go get it and try to get it done in the afternoon. Chloe was about to leave.
Rhodes stopped him and said, "By the way, talk to the village chief." ”
"Got it, this little thing!" Chloe turned his head and smiled at Rhodes, "How could I forget?!"
"In that case, go ahead. Rhodes responded with a smile.
After Chloe left, he looked at the rather lively village, but he was a little overwhelmed, so he walked aimlessly on the road. On the way, he met the lovely Teton, and took a group of little girls to the river not far from the village to fish, while Sanji cooked, and Ah Jin did it, and the smell attracted many villagers to stop and watch. As for the others, they were called by Chloe to set up their tents.
"Hah...... This week, I'm going to be an idler. Rhodes shrugged, realizing that he had no intention of playing with Tyton or helping Sanji, and his heart was empty, and he was a little confused.
The three years on the desert island and the three years at the naval base were basically frantically cultivating and absorbing knowledge, and after going to sea, these days were also intoxicated by the passion of battle and the friendship of partners.
Finally having a chance to breathe and ponder, Rhodes's mind went blank.
"I don't know what's wrong with me...... Like a little girl, I don't know what I'm worried about. Rhodes sat on a wooden chair at the head of the village, and because the village was on a high ground with a distant view, he held his chin in his hands and stared at the misty mountains in the distance.
"What's wrong with the girl?" came a voice of astonishment.
Rhodes didn't look back and knew who it was, it must have been Nana who had been sneaking along the way.
"Nothing. Rhodes straightened up and waved his hand.
Nana strode to Rhodes's side with a wave of her hand, and followed his gaze into the distance: "Well...... Haven't you seen it?"
"I've never seen such a beautiful place. Rhodes moved to the side, then patted himself next to him, "Sit." ”
Nana was stunned for a moment, not expecting this strange-looking person to give her a seat, and then she sat down next to Rhodes.
Rhodes took a deep breath, and the air mixed with the girl's body fragrance and the fragrance of flowers and plants entered his chest, and he suddenly felt extremely comfortable.
"Rhodes. Nana spoke intermittently, as if she had just remembered Rhodes' name, "Are you from Marlenyate?"
"I'm from the East China Sea, to be exact. Rhodes replied.
"I haven't been to the East China Sea, but I've heard that it's the weakest sea, and there aren't a few famous pirates!"
Rhodes' pupils shrank at first, wanting to defend the East China Sea, but he suddenly realized that Nana seemed to have a good impression of pirates, so he changed the question: "Do you like pirates very much?"
"Hmm!" Nana said like a contented child, "because my dad is a pirate." ”
"Your father?" Rhodes pinched the bridge of his nose, "why would he be a pirate?"
He said that then he would be able to go to sea, meet strange sea beasts, and go to other islands and cities to play. Nana's eyes shone brightly, and she longed for that kind of life.
"That's right...... This is not a pirate. Rhodes shook his head and whispered a rejection of Nana's words.
Nana, who was still imagining the days after becoming a pirate, suddenly froze and subconsciously asked, "Why not?"
"Pirates are a bunch of guys who stake their lives on their own knives, kill people without blinking, and do everything for their own benefit. Rhodes' voice was heavy, causing the definition of a pirate in Nana's heart to begin to crumble, and after sensing the anomaly, Rhodes smiled again, "However, they are also a group of good brothers who can trust their backs to their partners, and they share blessings and hardships." ”
"It's completely different from what Dad said. Nana shook her head, her long black hair swaying back and forth behind her back, "The pirates are a group of people who dare to take risks and dare to challenge the rules of the world. There are some unparalleled friendships between partners, who can explore mysteries together or drink together. ”
Rhodes hesitated for a moment, did not refute, he paused and said, "Your father is also right, how is he?" Rhodes remembered what the village chief told him last night that Nana's father was dead, but he still wanted to know.
"He's dead. Nana's tone changed, becoming very light and fragile, "Seventeen years ago, the year I was born. ”
"What's going on?" Rhodes asked.
"I heard grandpa say that he returned to the village twenty-two years ago, and has been very low-key since then, one day seventeen years ago, he ......" The girl who had been very resolute when she said this, her eyes were red, "The navy surrounded the village, and asked grandpa to get my father back, otherwise he would kill the whole village, and finally my father came out and was taken away by the navy." Grandpa chased the navy overnight, and finally found that they had ...... dad when they reached a wilderness Killed......
My mother also left after giving birth to me, and my grandfather said that my mother was going to the navy to avenge my father, and he never came back. ”
After listening to Nana's words, Rhodes first felt sympathy for Nana's plight, and then he suddenly locked a few words. Twenty-two years ago, and seventeen years ago, the navy surrounded the village: "Your father...... Did you tell your grandfather...... Is he in any pirate group?"
"Yes!" Nana wiped her tears with her hand, "He's a crew member of One Piece Goldor Roger!"
As soon as Nana's voice fell, Rhodes's head was stunned, like five thunderbolts: "Gore...... Roger?!"
"Ahh......h
Seeing Nana's flustered look like a timid kitten, Rhodes put his hand on Nana's head to soothe her, then raised his head and exhaled: "Then your dad is great......! But a group of men who think pirates are their dreams!"
