Chapter 68: Departure
The desolation of the elderly, until this moment, to experience this feeling, is incomprehensible.
Seeing life passing day by day, the mood is very complicated, which is the helplessness and fear of facing the end of fate. From fear, fear, to habituation, numbness, and finally relief. It's like everything is blooming and withering.
Don never thought that he would step into this stage, and little by little he felt that his peak strength was leaving, and his life was passing.
This chronic loss of vitality is heartbreaking.
If it weren't for the Immortal Seed Project to see hope, he didn't know what kind of state he would be in at this moment.
Unwilling or relieved? Quietly waiting for that day to come.
"No matter what, we're still alive now!"
Rosius sighed.
Andessa shook his head and smiled wryly.
The two of them may still have time, but he can already clearly perceive his death, and it is approaching step by step.
Eventually, the three of Don stayed on the island to accompany Andersa.
He was once ambitious, ambitious, and second to none. When he met Donn for the first time, he also made no secret of his ambitions, wanting to escape from Advance City and make his reputation resound all over the world and reach the top.
But this time, this old man has already put everything down and is quietly waiting for his death.
In the days that followed, he taught the boy earnestly, with a serious and serious expression.
"Bruce was rescued from a group of pirates after I left you, and he begged me to teach him to be stronger, and I agreed!"
Andessa said to the two.
"His talent is very good, he will not be inferior to me who used to be, and when he understands what I taught him, he will not be weak."
Donn, Rocius, and Bard watched Andessa teach with relish.
During this time, inevitably some secrets of its genre were revealed, but the old man did not care. He had returned to his hometown, where things had long since become observant, and the people he once knew had died or moved away. As for the original dojo, only ruins remained.
In the world, there are not many things that he cares about, and he can leave the inheritance, and for him, it is what he has to do in the rest of the time.
Bruce was a thin, brown-haired, thin-looking teenager who smiled shyly and could cook very good dishes, which Rosius loved to eat.
"I learned from the head chef of the previous pirate group, and he was very good at cooking. I've always been the chef of that pirate group. ”
"Until I met Grandpa Andessa, I was rescued by him."
During the meal, a few people were chatting, and Bard asked Bruce about his past, and the latter replied with a smile.
"Grandpa Andessa is so powerful, he single-handedly defeated a pirate group, I have never seen a strong man like him."
Speaking of Andessa, Bruce's eyes are full of stars, and he is very worshipful.
Andessa's face was expressionless, he ate very little, only picked up a few dishes and put down his chopsticks.
When people are old, there are problems with the digestion of the stomach and intestines, and Andessa still wants to work hard to live a few more days and pay attention to his maintenance.
Now he has gray hair, wrinkled skin, and age spots all over his face, looking a little terrifying, and even his body is only skinny and flesh, which looks a little oozing.
The three old men gathered together, and their days were very leisurely, often going to the beach to fish, and chatting with each other.
Andersa is old and nearing the end of his life, and he is very fond of reminiscing, telling Don and his wife about the glory of his youth.
"You know what? When I was younger, I was also famous in the world, and after I left the school, I played in gyms everywhere, traveled all over the world, and no dojo could beat me. ”
"By the time I am thirty years old, my strength has reached its peak, and when I comprehend the mystery, I will be even stronger, and you navy generals of the era can't do anything about me."
"If it weren't for that incident, I probably wouldn't have fallen into the city."
Don asked curiously, "How did you get in?" ”
"I'm not a good person in the first place, killing the navy, killing pirates, killing the master of the dojo, I never leave a living mouth."
"It's just that one day when I arrived in the Chambord Islands, I had an argument with a Draconian, and he insisted that I kneel, but I didn't, and I blew his head out."
Andessa sighed.
Tang En shook his head helplessly: "You are also a lover!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
Andessa burst out laughing.
The three of them gathered together and chatted every day, sometimes talking about their past, sometimes discussing the theory of martial arts, and involving domineering, martial arts, devil fruits, and kendo. The three of them are completely idle chatter, imaginative, and can talk about anything.
Gradually, time passed slowly, and Andessa's body stepped into the day by day.
By the third month, his legs were paralyzed and he could no longer walk.
Bud made a wheelchair and pushed him every day.
Andessa didn't change his mood, but he continued to teach Bruce harshly day by day.
"I taught him everything I could, and he learned very quickly and was a good apprentice."
"But in the future, if he goes out to wander, if there is a chance, you two will help me take care of him."
Don and Rosius nodded.
"Don't let him go the wrong way."
Finally, Andessa sighed.
Man is about to be gone, he no longer longs for any ambitions, what desires, in the face of life and death, these things are insignificant.
"Then let him be a navy."
Donn said.
Andessa turned his head to look at him, then said, "Whatever you want." ”
"Actually, it's not bad to open a dojo, at least you can promote your genre."
Bard has a suggestion.
Andessa's eyes lit up: "Not bad! ”
From this day on, Andessa became very fond of chatting with Bruce, and he constantly instilled in the boy the steps to open the dojo, how to do it, and what to look out for.
"This old fellow really took your advice."
Don looked at Bard.
"I have a point."
Bard said rightly.
After another two months, Andessa was lying on the hospital bed, motionless, his breathing was weak, his consciousness was blurred, and Don kept calling, but he couldn't wake up.
"Andessa may not be able to."
Rosius sighed.
Bruce's eyes glistened with tears, he had already regarded the old man as his own relative, maybe the other party had done all kinds of evil and committed many crimes, but he was sincere to him.
"Grandpa Andessa, wake up, you still have to watch me open the dojo."
"I will teach many excellent disciples."
He wiped his face with snot and tears from his crying, and Don and the others were silent.
It's a sad scene with mixed feelings.
After a while, Andessa woke up, and he suddenly became very energetic, conscious, and his eyes were very powerful.
"Work hard, Bruce, you must be an excellent dojo master in the future, and teach many excellent juniors!"
Bruce had a hunch of something, and he kept choking and nodding.
"Don, you're actually still young, and although Bigu Mam's Devil Fruit ability has made you like this, there must still be a way."
"Don't give up!"
Andessa said to Donn again.
"I will definitely return to the top, don't worry!"
Don En Dao.
Finally, Andessa looked at Rosius, and he grinned.
"Rocius, I'll wait for you below, and we'll continue to face off."
With tears in his eyes, Rosius scolded: "Lao Tzu is immortal!" ”
Everything became quiet, and Andessa closed his eyes forever.
