Chapter 52: A Conversation with Tiger
"Don't think that scares me!"
Ah Long behind Ye Qiong roared angrily, his sharp hands formed a claw shape, sprinting at great speed, and his huge body leaned forward to pounce. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Aaron, stop!" exclaimed the Fishman's men.
Ye Qiong frowned slightly, still ignoring it and slowly walked forward, seeing that Ah Long was about to rush behind him, he raised his finger, and the spatial ability was about to be released.
"Huh?"
He seemed to sense something, and the finger quietly dropped again.
"I'm going to tear you apart!"
Aaron opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and his sharp claws gleamed faintly.
As the claw landed behind him, a drop of water swept across Ye Qiong's head at a rapid speed like a bullet, and exploded on the thick palm.
Ah Long fell unguardedly and suffered a dark loss, and his body couldn't stop falling backwards.
It is hard to imagine that the weak water droplet has such a powerful power.
"Rubbish, are you going to make a move on Big Tiger's guests?"
A fish-man, also a shark man, appeared from the mouth of the alley in front of Ye Qiong, he stepped on clogs, his wide but not bloated waist was wearing a strange loose bathrobe, black hair, eyebrows and sideburns resembled a strong wind, and sharp fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth on both sides.
He was holding a pipe, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was hard and powerful, which made the arrogant and murderous Aaron change slightly, and at the same time relieved the fishman next to him.
Ye Qiong looked at the shark-man who blocked the attack for him with great interest, and his first feeling was that this was a fish-man character who could calm the scene and get on the stage.
"Brother Jinping, I don't mean anything else, I just want to have a discussion with this guest. Ah Long hurriedly explained, looking a little timid.
"Hmph, you waste is now a guard soldier of the Fishman Palace, you should obey the rules, and you are still embarrassed here, are you very free? Why don't you get out of Lao Tzu quickly!" said Shi Ping coldly, not saving a trace of face.
Ah Long was silent, and after glancing at Ye Qiong coldly unwillingly, he turned around and left.
Jinping stepped forward, bowed his head slightly and apologized to Ye Qiong, "Ah Long has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he is not sensible, so please don't be surprised by Your Excellency Ye Qiong." ”
Ye Qiong looked at the shark man who was only about thirty years old and liked to call himself "old man", and couldn't help but feel interesting, Haixia was very peaceful, this was the second future Seven Martial Seas he had encountered.
"It's okay, I don't care. ”
The corners of Ye Qiong's mouth slightly hooked a meaningful arc, and he stepped to keep up with the fishman's men.
Jinping stood still, and only after passing shoulders with Ye Qiong did he turn around, his eyes kept looking at his back solemnly, his eyes were unprecedentedly cautious, and he couldn't see the depth of the strength of the young man in front of him at all, but just now, for some reason, he had a terrifying intuition, if he didn't make a move to block Ah Long's attack, Ah Long would probably be gone now.
"This human teenager...... It's dangerous!"
In the end, Jinping could only come to this conclusion by feeling.
The fish-man men took Ye Qiong to Tiger's residence and left, leaving Ye Qiong alone in front of the house, he knocked on the wooden door, and the door quickly opened, and it was the burly Tiger.
When Tiger saw that it was Ye Qiong, he grinned and welcomed him in.
"You sit down at will, and I'll fetch the wine. Tiger said cheerfully, and went up the wooden staircase to the second floor.
Ye Qiong looked left and right at Tiger's residence, the two-story house was very spacious, light came in through the window, the interior was bright and open, a large wooden table and six chairs were simply placed in the hall, and there were some wooden shelves and furniture next to it, all of which were very neat.
Although it looks relatively simple on the whole, it gives people a very simple and comfortable intuitiveness.
Ye Qiong was not polite, and sat down directly on the chair, with bright multicolored shells on the table, which was cold and had a strong deep-sea atmosphere.
"I've been out on adventures for a few years and the house is much older and only recently cleaned. Tiger came down with the wine glass and wine bottle, looked at the shell that Ye Qiong picked up, was slightly surprised, and couldn't help laughing, "It was given to me by the orphans nearby." ”
"You're so popular here. Ye Qiong smiled.
"Look at your bounty, you're the best person in the world. Tiger shook his head, pulling out a bounty slip from the cabinet and handing it to him.
Ye Qiong picked up the bounty list, and under his avatar was a "1", followed by a full nine zeros, and the bounty amount was a long mess.
"Oh, billion?" Ye Qiong smiled, but he didn't care about throwing the bounty on the table and said, "The navy really looks up to me." ”
The bounty was 500 million before, and 1 billion was only double this number, which didn't make him react much, but in this way, his position with the navy was almost absolutely opposite.
"After all, you've made too much trouble on the Holy Land. Tiger pondered, he himself also had a bounty of more than 200 million, but compared with Ye Qiong, it was very small.
"Hmph, those Celestial Dragons who annihilate human nature and consider themselves noble should be killed. Ye Qiong sneered.
Tiger was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, the Draconians should indeed be killed!" Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already a little scarlet.
Ye Qiong had some guesses in his heart, and poured the wine glass full of wine for him.
"This wine deserves to be my toast to you. Tiger said earnestly, raising his glass respectfully.
Ye Qiong also clinked glasses with him obediently, and drank the wine in one gulp, the wine was spicy and warm, sliding down his throat and stomach, and the whole person became smoothly hot.
Tiger's face twitched a little, hesitated, and finally sighed, "Actually, I won't hide it from you, before I chose to climb the Red Earth Continent to rescue the slaves, I myself was caught by human traffickers and branded with the mark of the dragon's hoof. ”
He pulled the clothes off his upper body, and a crimson brand was clearly imprinted on his chest, round with three triangles, somewhat like the hooves of some kind of creature.
Everyone who becomes a slave of the Celestial Dragons will be forcibly branded with this Celestial Dragon Seal, accompanied by a lifetime of shame that cannot be shaken off.
"I know all too well the pain of being a slave to live rather than die. ”
That's why I'm risking death to save them from their misery. Tiger said with a pained face, clasping the seal of the dragon on his chest with his hand.
"It's all gone. Ye Qiong sighed secretly and patted Tiger's arm.
"Yes, this time we won. Tiger nodded, looked up at Ye Qiong, who was drinking, and said with emotion, "Actually, that night, I never thought that someone would fight side by side with me, and it was a human being. ”
"Celestial Dragons, how many people are so frightened by their identities that they don't even dare to resist. Ye Qiong shook his head, looked at Tiger and smiled, "You hate humans very much." ”
Tiger was not afraid of Ye Qiong, and said directly, "Indeed, I do dislike human beings. ”
"I grew up living in an orphanage in Fish-Man Street, and I saw so many ugly faces of humans, whether they were navy, pirates, or human traffickers. They are all trying to kidnap our people in every possible way!"
"Although the princess has always advocated peace with humans, I don't think so. ”
"As long as human nature does not change, it is impossible for Fish-Man Island and the outside world to coexist peacefully. ”
At this point, Tiger clenched his fists and spoke in a strong and powerful tone.
For many years, the mermaids on Fish-Man Island have been known for their beauty, and the mermaids with superior strength are excellent coolies, so they have been deeply welcomed and favored by the world's nobles as slaves, and the prices have remained high in the auction room.
There is a market for trading, and the chaos caused by the advent of the era of pirates has made human traffickers more unscrupulous, and Fish-Man Island has become more and more victimized.
Therefore, the attitude towards human beings is simply divided into two factions.
One faction is the princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island, and the main peace faction that strives to maintain the peaceful coexistence of fish-people and humans.
The other faction is the main battle faction led by Tiger Tiger, the former leader of Fishman Street.
"Uncle Tiger, do you know why fish and humans can't live in peace?" Ye Qiong took a deep breath and asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Tiger was stunned and fell silent.
Ye Qiong said meaningfully, "There is a saying in my kingdom: 'If you fall behind, you will be beaten.'" ’”
The meaning of this sentence can basically be understood as the country's own development and strength are too weak, and they will be beaten and attacked by others. Isn't it? Fish-Man Island is too weak, has no foundation, and has something that others covet, so it is inevitable that it will suffer. ”
"Uncle Tiger, I'm here to ask you, what would you want to do if you left Fish-Man Island this time?"
Tiger said without hesitation, "Since the navy has already offered me a bounty, and everything is irreparable, then I will simply not do anything, create a pirate group, and go to fight against it......"
"The courage of the horseman!"
Ye Qiong put the wine glass on the table fiercely, and the wine in the glass splashed everywhere.
Tiger stopped talking, not knowing why Ye Qiong had such a big temper.
"Why don't you want to think about it, you founded the Pirate Group to take revenge on human beings, and why did you ever think that those people also have families and children, you are a fish-man standing on the position of that evil person, which undoubtedly makes the world have more prejudices about Fish-Man Island, and also gives those human traffickers a chance. ”
"You founded the Pirate Group, the world is so big, you can indeed be free, and you can also take revenge on humans randomly, but Fish-Man Island is still in a predicament and can't extricate yourself, and even you left with some Fishman elites who are willing to follow you, and you have hollowed out the strength foundation of Fish-Man Island in disguise. Ye Qiong sighed, but what he said was not a general empty talk, but a heartfelt statement based on what he knew so far and the ending of the Sun Pirates founded by Tiger in his memory.
"If I don't create a pirate group, where will I go?" Tiger said blankly, picking up a bottle of wine and drinking it directly on his head, which made Ye Qiong stunned.
Yes, the truth is understood, and it is obvious, but what if you don't become a pirate?
Incognito?
The corners of Ye Qiong's mouth were a little bitter, and he suddenly realized a little that why so many people chose to be pirates may not be who is right or wrong, but because of this world.
The world either drives the unruly to be pirates, or forces the free people to become pirates, or oppresses those who want to keep to themselves to become pirates.
If the world government is to be a fully controlled, orderly, and deeply entrenched servile world, they will justify their positions and completely erase their insidious methods and history that is not conducive to domination.
And the group of people who are not satisfied with the status quo and have the courage to take risks, whether out of dreams or ideals, or survival and life, as long as they go against the rule of the world government, are considered pirates, which is the root of everything.
The revolutionary army is just an organization that boldly proposes to resist the rule of the world government, and its strength is very weak compared to the navy.
"If there's no choice, we'll create one. Ye Qiong's eyes gradually lit up, and he said seriously, "If there really can be such a place that is peaceful, painless, standless, and independent of the world, let us create it!"
"What did you say?" Tiger looked at him in shock.
"I want to create an organization that is independent of the world, named 'Xiao', Uncle Tiger, are you interested?" Ye Qiong smiled, raising his glass towards Tiger, the corners of his mouth hooked a confident arc, and there was also a belief called firm in his eyes.
The Akatsuki organization first proposed in the bar of the Chambord Islands that it did not have the so-called ambition, the blood of ONEPIECE, and the idea of fighting for power. It's just that he wants to take root in this pirate world peacefully, live here freely, do what he wants to do, and love the people he wants to love, which is a small and humble idea of a young man.
Later, despite the destruction of O'Hara Island, the imprisonment of Advance City, and the separation of life and death several times, hatred still did not blind his eyes.
Although the enemies, such as Magellan and Sakasky, had a deep hatred with him, they met each other in battle.
But Ye Qiong will not be angry with all the navies, or the world, at will.
He still retains the idea that seems insignificant and weak in the eyes of others, and moves forward step by step, step by step to reach the strongest.
