"Tick!"

The sound of blood dripping into Donn's ears made his body tremble, but he couldn't muster up the courage to look.

This arm was cut off by the other party's own hands, and the body soaked in the sea, coupled with the huge wound, the wound that could not be treated, this pain will make the whole body numb as long as you think about it.

It is hard to imagine how powerful the pain this old man is enduring at this moment!

Even he himself, because of the fine opening on his body soaked in seawater, was constantly baring his teeth in pain.

"Now, we're both in a desperate situation."

Muttered, the old man whispered.

Don En shuddered, then looked at the unfluctuating sea in front of him, and calmed down again.

Yes, this is a windless zone, and sea kings are everywhere, and it is not certain whether they can survive or not, so what's the use of thinking so much?

The two fell silent, and when they were quiet, they didn't know how time had passed.

They only felt more and more tired, and the hunger in their bellies was getting stronger.

"Boy, don't go to sleep!"

Just when Don's eyelids were heavy and he was about to close his eyes, the old man suddenly shouted.

Don was agitated, trying to open his eyes.

"If you go to sleep, one of Lao Tzu's arms will be thrown away in vain!"

The old man said in a deep voice.

Raising his head and looking at the blackened blood, the shocking severance, Tang En's pupils contracted, and he was a little more sober.

"I saved you, but I didn't make you wait to die!"

Don moved his mouth and didn't speak.

He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Tell me your story, boy, how to be in the navy, what the family does."

After saying that, Rhodes seemed to remember something.

"Don't give up hope, as long as humanity doesn't give up hope, it will never be defeated and won't die!"

"No one can defeat a man who insists on his beliefs, and even death cannot defeat him!"

As he spoke, he raised his remaining left hand, a thumbs up.

Don moved his chapped lips: "You, you really look like a madman." ”

Grinning, Rod smiled: "Those seven boys, they all say the same thing about me, you are very similar to them." ”

"I don't know what you've been through, but the more you face a desperate situation, the more you have to be calm, the more you have to persevere, boy!"

"At the end of the darkness is the light!"

Don raised his head and looked at the deep night sky at the moment, full of stars, and the full moon hanging overhead.

The time, before you know it, has come to night.

This is the most painful moment he has ever experienced, the exhaustion of his body and the impact of his spirit made him have a lot of thoughts for a while, but his body energy could not support his brain to imagine, and he became sluggish and confused.

"Come, say, boy, your story!"

Rod grinned and said.

Don let out a breath, he knew that the other party was grinning, just to relieve the pain in his body.

"Before I was ten years old, I was born into a wealthy family with arguably the best status in the world."

"My father is sunny and kind, my mother is gentle and beautiful, I live a very happy life, and I am also full of longing for the future, fantasizing about what I can do in the future."

"For other people, for the world, and for your own dreams."

In the night breeze, Don spoke slowly, and Rod kept grinning, listening carefully.

This is the only way for two people to spend time in hunger and sleepiness.

He listened to the other party talk little by little about the little things in the family, the warm and romantic time, and slowly recalled the interesting things between himself and the seven children, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a smile.

There may be quarrels in life, but the sweetest and unforgettable thing is always the time with your loved ones, even if it is just the most casual greeting, it can be unforgettable.

Gradually, Don's tone suddenly became heavy.

"But, just five years ago, everything changed."

Rod's eyes also flashed at this moment, he looked at Don, and noticed that the other party's expression was unusually gloomy, painful, mixed with a shadow.

No rushing, no inquiry, Rod waited slowly.

After a long time, Tang En slowly spoke.

"My father, let me, with a golden revolver, kill someone!"

Rhodes' pupils constricted.

"The one who wants to be killed is my mother!"

The last sentence made Rod's eyes widen.

"To this moment, I still remember vividly every expression on their faces, ruthlessness and despair, madness and calm."

At this point in the story, Don no longer wants to say any more.

He fell silent, as if he was tired from talking too much.

Then, unwilling to let him fall asleep, Rhodes began to tell everything about him.

Tang En listened silently, and he gradually discovered that this old guy, who was already old, had a personality like the standard middle two comic protagonist in his previous life, simple, hard-working, hot-blooded, and always had hope in his heart, but the only pity was that he did not have the luck and ability of the protagonist.

Rhodes was mediocre and ordinary, and although he had the opportunity to learn domineering and obtain a devil fruit like the vine fruit, it took him a long time to master the fur and he was unable to develop a more powerful fruit.

And in the world, there are more people like him.

The only difference is that his spirit, his will, is stronger than too many people.

The mantra on the lips of the old guy is, respect the old and love the young, the destiny of man!

This is also the reason why he took in seven orphans and made his originally rich family impoverished. It was he who gave up an arm to save his persistence!

You can't sit back and see the hope of the future fall in front of you.

Because of this, during the battle, the old guy did not use all his strength.

But everything, by this time, was already too late.

Endless exhaustion, hunger, and weakness surged up his spirit, drowning his body, making Don En really feel that this time he was dead.

Day and night, day and night rotated, time had lost its meaning in his mind, he didn't know how long it had been, his eyes had long been blurred, and he was able to persist without falling asleep, completely because the old man was constantly swaying himself and shouting loudly to him.

"Why? Will he be able to hold on? ”

Don couldn't understand it, but he stiffened up.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Don felt a large drop of water fall on top of his head, wetting his robe and making him feel slightly awake.

"Boy, we have to find a way, otherwise, we are really going to become food this time!"

A solemn, yet frail voice came to his ears.

Don struggled to keep his eyes open and looked up.

The hideous, house-like head of a sea king appeared across from him, two cold eyes the size of a millstone staring at them.

A sea king, emerging from the sea, is coming face to face with them.

Then, the sea king's mouth opened, and the sea swelled and let out a loud roar.

"It's greeting us, boy."

Rod's eyes were solemn, and he was still optimistic at the moment of life and death.
