6. Chapter VI
Boom-bang
Standing on the edge of the island's peak, Arka looked at the small island with wisps of smoke and the sound of shelling below, and she had been on this island for two years, which in her long years was only a short time, and the short was soon forgotten by her.
To save, or not to save?
Arka finally closed her eyes, she never put herself in the position of a human being, and even stood in the position of the inhabitants of this island to think about it, she is a void who does not understand human feelings, living in an imaginary circle, doesn't this picture happen often? But who will take a hand, no, you are already very good without a hand.
So why did she want to take a hand, isn't it normal for the law of the jungle to eat the strong? I can't protect it, I can't live, isn't it because I'm weak that I'm powerless?
So why should she save?
Arka stood on the edge of the peak with his eyes closed, listening to the sound of artillery bombardment and screaming below.
Shanks asked others in the evacuated crowd.
"Did you see Arka yet?"
And the answer is no.
In Shanks's eyes, no matter how strong Alka is, she is always a girl, and in his eyes, girls should be like uncles and daughters who buy sweet fruits, laughing, making trouble and crying, but these have never appeared in Alka's body, and even ...... No.
Shanks is not a fool, he is a smart man, a smart man who likes to look like a fool, two years is not a short time for a human being, enough for him to grope for a person, but in Alka, he experienced the taste of a fool.
If someone asks him what kind of girl Alka is, he will probably say: a girl who looks at the world with no emotion at all.
That's right, this is Arka, a girl with withdrawn, beautiful gray-blue eyes that match her, and she can't see the sun, she can't see death, it's so gloomy.
Alka, who had always thought she was hiding well, didn't know that she had been seen through by this red-haired sunny teenager.
But she will still admit that, yes, this is what she looks like, she will not care about anyone's death, nor will she care about anyone's life, as long as it does not threaten her existence, she will not care what he does.
This is the emptiness that is born from the wickedness of human beings.
In the end, Shanks did not find Arka, but he and Bucky met up, and in a panic, Shanks met his first partner, good friend, and good accomplice, even if they had different ideas, but they couldn't help but admit that it was still pleasant for the two to get along with each other, because they had a common goal, which was to be pirates.
"Shanks! You bastard, what are you running around at this time! Come with me to the dark compartment under the flask! Bucky looked flustered, he didn't seem to expect that the pirates from a year ago would come back to take revenge, if it were him, he would not be so careful......
This is a slap in the face to your future self, Bucky.
There is a hidden hidden compartment under the huge flask rock on the island, and the people who built this huge hidden compartment are their ancestors, in order to take refuge for the people on the island at that time, as for what is difficult, it will not be clear for a while, and this hidden compartment is enough to accommodate the women, children and elderly people on the island.
For the first time, Bucky sincerely thanked the old men who died too much to die anymore.
"Bucky, I can't go." Shanks recognized the thing, even ten cows couldn't pull it back, he pulled out his wrist, straight color, and said firmly: "Why did that guy come back to take revenge, everyone knows in their hearts, and ...... He ruined our home, how can he just say go! ”
Teapot Island has always valued peace, and now that this peace is destroyed in his hands, how can this make him swallow this breath.
"Go there, Bucky." Shanks exhaled deeply, raised his head, clenched his fists, and resolutely stepped forward, walking towards the most chaotic place, while Bucky behind him stared at his back, and finally gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and ran over, punching Shanks in the back, muttering, "Bastard boy! I won't let you steal the limelight alone! And don't forget, you beat him, and I robbed him of his money, whatever, I have a share of the fault, so you kid is less reckless here! ”
"I'll go with you, this is not your home alone." Bucky lowered his head, his funny red nose shrugged slightly, and his blue hair blocked his eyes.
Shanks looked at Bucky, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you want tissues?" ”
“…… You bastard! Don't keep demolishing my platform!! Bucky raised his head, tears and snot on his face, grabbed Shanks's clothes, and yelled very unconfidently: "Can't you kid make me handsome for three minutes?" Bastard! Do you know that labor and management get weak at the thought of killing people, and you fucking tear down my platform! Still not friends anymore! ”
"You should chop the cabbage." Shanks kindly said.
"Cabbage, you're big! Cabbage costs money, too......" As Bucky burst into tears, a cannonball flew over and hit a nearby balcony, causing Bucky to loosen Shanks' collar.
"Hey, Bucky, it's no joke, you've decided."
"Nonsense, are labor and management like people who retreat?"
“…… Let's wipe my nose and tears. ”
“…… You'd better die, Shanks! ”
The huge pirate ship stopped on the shore, and the crew of the ship ran over and said to the captain at the bow, "Captain, I didn't see the ship of the great villain Roger!" They may no longer be on the island. ”
"Oh? Not on this island? Then kill all the islands where Roger stayed! The man was fierce, frantically opened his arms, and shouted to the sky: "Little ones, kill everyone on this island!" Let them see the power of our most vicious pirates! ”
"Yes! Captain! ”
The man looked at the blue sky, and finally cracked the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and whispered coldly: "All die!" Bury with my past! It's a new beginning hahaha-"
Standing on the edge of the peak, Arka finally chose to use the probing loop, and here, the probing loop became a little strange, it was no longer the same as before, it could only feel the person with spiritual pressure, but even without spiritual pressure, it could still give direction, which is a good change, isn't it?
As soon as the probing circuit was opened, small flames appeared in her perception, with different locations and different breaths, which made Arka quickly lock on to the person she wanted to lock.
Shanks, beautiful red, like last night's flames, trembling, burning.
And beside him was a flame similar to his, only a little faint, this was his father, an amiable man.
Seems to be dying, so ...... Shanks is sad?
It's a strange emotion, a strange emotion.
Eventually, Arka made a decision that bound her to Shanks' line......
She disappeared in place, and suddenly appeared in front of Shanks, her feet on the gravel, and the sound made her hold Fanta's hand, and her eyes, which had been bright, were now covered with smoke, which was not the eyes that Arka liked, and this was not Shanks's eyes.
Arka tilted his head and asked, "Are you trying to get me to gouge out your eyes?" ”
"Arka ...... Old, dad is dying......" Shanks took his father's hand, trembling lightly, he didn't seem to hear Arca's cruel words, and said in a trembling voice, "Bucky is gone, this island is ...... Our home is ruined......"
"I know, so what? Squatting here crying, waiting to die, waiting to be killed? Well, Shanks, this doesn't look like you. Arka suddenly appeared in front of Shanks, bent over, face to face, eye to eye.
The gray-blue eyes didn't ripple at all.
Arka somewhat hated Shanks like this, and she asked, "Are you going to lose here?" Because of weakness? No, it's because you're weak that you should grab, earn, and grab, isn't this the basis for becoming stronger? So ......"
"- Shanks, are you going to give up? Dead here? ”
Gray-blue eyes burst out with a cold light, if that's the case, then she doesn't want to leave people to be killed!
"No...... No! ”
Shanks' eyes widened slightly, and the gloom in his pupils dissipated like a clear sky, and no one knew about the psychological struggle he had just had.
For others, it was just a second, but for the person concerned, it was like walking through a long, continuous tunnel and finally seeing the exit.
Then he saw the cold eyes, but in the next second, it was far away, Arka straightened up and took a step back, and the coldness in the pupils disappeared, as tepid as before.
"Ah, awake? Then hurry up and defend your homeland. Arka untied the long knife on his waist and threw it directly to Shanks, who was stunned, and said absently: "The knife will lend you once, remember not to swing it too hard." ”
Arka never heard the other party's voice, turned his head, and saw that the other party was still kneeling beside his father, his brows twitched, and his tone was rare with a hint of warm anger: "Don't go quickly!" Your father, I'll come and see! ”
"Thank you, Arka." Shanks clenched the cold scabbard in his hand, stood up, and as he walked past Arka, he said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
And Arka moved the corners of his mouth before finally saying, "Bucky is fine, he was just stunned by the wall." ”
That's right, the dizzy is so chic.
Shanks, who was walking in front, paused, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Ah." ”
Then she ran out with the knife, Shanks had played with Western swords, so Arka was not afraid that he wouldn't use it, on the contrary, she looked at Fanta lying on the ground, hooked the corners of her mouth, and laughed at Shanks for not having much medical knowledge, what a death, it's just too much blood loss, fainting, what a fool.
On Shanks's side, he resolutely pulled out his long knife, his white blade flashed with cold light, his eyes flashed with cold light, he inserted the scabbard into his belt, and then held the knife in both hands, rushed forward, and waved it unceremoniously towards the enemy......
'Boom-boom'
Not only the people in front of them fell, but also the houses behind them.
"......" Shanks suddenly understood why Arka told him not to swing too hard, this is simply a good knife that sharpens iron like clay, but how can he control his strength?
