Chapter 35: Firmness
Chapter 35 Firm
Becker stared at the book and the two newspapers in his hand over and over again, and the scattered and fragmented memories in his memory seemed to be automatically connected because of clues, a little unfamiliar, like a layer of separation, but these memories finally became images with a beginning and an end in his mind.

Some of the mysteries that this body could not explain have also been solved.
In the year 1498 of the Sea Circle Calendar, One Piece said a sentence that shocked the world in the East China Sea, setting off the era of pirates.
In the same year, eight-year-old Morgan. Becker's merchant ship was attacked by pirates, his father was killed by pirates, and his mother committed suicide. Luckily Becker survived, the pirates sold the good-eyed little Becker to slavers, and eventually after several turns, he was bought by the Draconians, who branded the infamous "Dragon's Hoof" behind his back.
The following year, nine-year-old Morgan. Becker is arranged to fight a peer in a show of the Draconians, and Toldos, who is Becker's master, says that he likes the show, and Becker wins, but at a young age, he has a great fear of his bleak future.
Subsequently, as a child who was only nine years old, little Becker showed the scheming and forbearance that this imposter Becker admires today, on the one hand, he showed an extremely obedient and well-behaved attitude in front of the master of the Celestial Dragons, Toldos Sheng, in order to gain trust and affection, and obtained permission to learn literacy on the grounds that he hoped to read the newspaper aloud for Toldos and help summarize the latest information on the slave market, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity of Toldos Sheng's frequent asking him to perform "shows" with his peers, like the guards of the Holy Land, to learn swordsmanship, and exercise, He also secretly learned the knowledge of navigation, honed his water nature, and prepared for escape.
In the first few years, Morgan. Becker never ran away and wanted to wait for the best opportunity, but he was obedient and never showed an attitude of wanting to escape, but he gained more trust from Toldos St. to the point that in some situations where Tordos St. thought it was safer, he no longer monitored Beckerdo, especially by putting a collar. On more than one occasion, the Saint of Toldos proudly told the other Draconians that Becker had been "tamed" by him.
It was not until 1502 that St. Toldos, as a representative of the world's aristocracy, visited the East China Sea, where the pirates were the weakest among the four seas, to show his affirmation of the work of the navy.
Becker, who was taken by Toldos St. Steward, saw an opportunity to escape, and because he was on the boat, Toldos St. thought that Becker could not escape, and did not bring him a collar.
Becker has been looking for an opportunity to escape on the boat, but he didn't expect to wait for a large storm, Becker took advantage of the chaos to drag Toldos Saint into the sea, and Becker who had endured it for many years killed Saint Tordos in the sea with a crazy attitude recklessly, and then climbed into a small boat that he had secretly untied before and fell into the sea.
The little lonely boat was lucky not to be capsized by the waves at Becker's prayers, and landed on an uninhabited island.
Becker, a free twelve-year-old boy, cried and laughed on the island, running around and screaming like a madman, and one night, with hatred for the past and fear of being found out as a slave of the Draconians, he whipped the "Dragon's Hoof" on his back like a mad man, with a stick still warm from the flames, hoping to cover up the imprint of his hard work with other burns.
Recalling this, the traverser Becker couldn't help but touch his back shoulder, glanced at Koshiro again, thinking of the situation when Koshiro asked to see his back burns, and smiled bitterly, but it was a pity for the hard work of the original owner of the body.
Little Becker was impulsive when he regained his freedom, and he couldn't see the imprint on his back, so he beat him with a fire stick several times, and the new wound he created could not completely cover the imprint, and he could still see a trace of the original imprint.
As for being occupied by himself, it was really because little Becker was too unlucky, he was injured, and before he had time to recuperate on the island, he found that a group of pirates had landed on the island, and he could only take advantage of the fact that the pirates did not find themselves, and hurriedly left the island in a small boat, but the good luck was lost, and the small wooden boat could no longer withstand the strong wind and waves, fell into the sea, was occupied by Sun Bo, and drifted to Black Reef Village.
The deeper the memories of Becker who was sitting in the chair now, the deeper his heart sank, not because of the tragic experience of the original owner of his body, the memories of the original owner of these bodies are not fundamentally different from the tragic experiences of others he hears about other people, what makes Becker uneasy is the death of the Celestial Dragon Man Tordos Saint in his memory.
Becker lowered his eyelids slightly, trying to calm down his chaotic thoughts and comfort himself, Koshiro should also be because of the news in the newspaper, plus he is a caring person, so that he can think of him as a slave of the Tenryu.
Becker was glad that the world, including Koshiro, who saw his identity as a Tenryu, did not know that he had killed the Draconian, and the book he was holding in his hand had an open page that happened to write about the privileges of the Tenryu people as a world noble, in which the words "Admiral" pierced Becker's eyes.
As for why Koshiro saw Becker's status as a slave of the Tenryu people many years ago, but he didn't think about reporting to the world government or the navy, and even took the initiative to teach Becker a small stove to teach him swordsmanship.
"You said you can't remember what happened before," Koshiro sighed when he saw that Becker didn't speak for a long time, "I don't know if you're lying, but I'm willing to believe that you're telling the truth, and it's good to forget about this experience, but now that you want to go to sea, I have to tell you the truth of the matter, so as not to expose your flaws in front of people without preparation in the future." ”
The people Koshiro said were naturally the people of the World Government and the Navy.
Becker was in a state of confusion, he knew that his path to becoming a navy was basically cut off, even if there was no political trial in this world, he didn't believe that the world government could let a runaway Draco slave become a high-ranking general of the army without knowing it, at most he could be a middle- and low-level officer, hoping not to attract the attention of the higher-ups.
If he didn't know that his body had been a slave of the Draconians, and that he had the audacity to kill a Draconian, Becker might have been satisfied with this, but the reality was always so dramatic.
Becker didn't remember how he had left his study, and when he got to his room in the ashram, Becker threw himself on the bed, thinking about his future.
Becker stared at the ceiling with stunned eyes, all kinds of thoughts rolling back and forth in his mind, the pirates, the navy, Edmund's last words .......
Gradually, his gaze became firm again:
"Looks like I'm going to get your revenge, Edmund."
