Chapter 43: Handsome

"You, where are your arms?"

With wide eyes, Don asked weakly.

He clearly remembered that when he fought with himself, this old man was whole!

Immediately after, in the next second, Don heard a passage that he would never forget in his life.

I saw this thin old man, turn his head, look at him, show a miserable white face, and then squeeze out a smile.

"Oh? You're awake! ”

"As for the arm, there was a sea king who was eyeing you kid just now."

"I gave it away as food!"

Gave his arm to the Sea King?!

Don's pupils contracted, his heart vibrating, and his eyes widened.

He struggled to his feet, his face full of disbelief. Looking at the scars and scorched black at this moment, the spirit was obviously not as strong as before, and the old man standing in front of him, a complex feeling that could not be described in words surged in his heart.

It's shocking, or it's hard to believe!

"What are you talking about?"

The old man did not reply, but sat cross-legged on the deck with a pout, his eyes looking at the sea ahead.

Tang En pursed his lips, puzzled and shocked, struggled to walk to the old man's side, and then followed the other party's line of sight.

"That's?!"

The sea bubbled out, and a black trail crept into the water, leaving only the red of the surface stained with blood.

This old guy is telling the truth!!

"When the sea hits, you are washed into a break and almost fall off."

"The blood on your body attracts its attention."

"I've pulled you up, but I don't want to go."

Next, the old man's words made Don clench his fists and jerk his head back.

He stared at the old man sitting cross-legged on the deck with a calm expression, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end it only turned into three words.

"Why?"

Oh, yes! Why!

He is obviously a navy, an enemy, and an opponent who fights to the death! Why save him?

"You're still young after all, let a child die in front of me."

"I Rod can't do it!"

The old man's words came softly.

Tang En was shocked by this sentence, and suddenly felt weak, he sat down on the ground softly, and sat next to the old man.

The two sat side by side, looking at the huge black shadows that sometimes swam under the calm sea in front of them. In this dangerous situation, their mood is unwavering.

After a long time, Don suddenly spoke.

"In the battle just now, you kept your hand, right?"

The old man grinned: "Aren't you kid also useless with all your strength?" ”

Don was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

Man has the ability to discern good from evil, and he has it. Where there is true love, people's hearts must not be bad.

"Rumor has it that you never have a living mouth in your hands."

Rod asked.

"That's right, none of the pirates I met survived."

Don nodded, paused, and thought of the seven crew members.

"The exception is the seven."

He looked sideways at the old man beside him, this guy who was already a handful of years old, would think of dying with him and dying in this sea together, what a crazy guy.

"So, I'm worried about my seven children, although they are very naughty, they are all kind-hearted people, and they are my most precious treasures!"

Rhodes looked at the sea, a smile on his lips.

"You're very strong, and you can tell from the power of your cannonballs that you can use them."

"My shallow domineering can only protect my hands, or somewhere on my body, from being affected by your attacks, but I still can't stop you!"

Exhaling a breath, Rode's tone became serious.

"If you make a move on them, I can't stop you, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Then, he turned his head and stared at Donn.

"Therefore, I would rather use my life to drag you into the water and be buried on this sea together!"

Don's face was shaken, and his heart was even more shocked by the old man's words, and he was speechless for a long time, not knowing how to answer the other party.

"But, navy, your subsequent battles made me realize that you are not a rigid navy that does not distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil!"

"You're different from some people who have gone mad for the justice of your navy."

"You still have a conscience and righteousness!"

"You may be a great threat to the pirates, but to the world, you are a seed!"

"A seed of kindness!"

The old man's words made Don En move his mouth.

"You also showed me a different side of pirates."

Rod smiled: "It seems that in some ways, your child has something in common with me, an old man. ”

Donn was silent.

Next, both fell into silence.

The previous battle, the impact afterward, had exhausted them to the extreme.

They need to rest.

And Don also needs to think about it, he was saved by a pirate, and the other party also paid an arm for it, which made his heart tremble, like in a dream.

This kind of contradiction is shocking to the soul, and the impact on people is far from being told in words.

When he feels that he cannot defeat himself, he would rather pay with his life than drag the enemy to the end, leaving his crew a way to survive. When he realized that he was not completely indistinguishable between good and evil, he stretched out another arm and saved his life.

What kind of man is this old man?

In the past, Don felt that every soldier in the Setro branch who gave his life was a hero, and he felt that the old Lawson, Abro and others who fell in front of him not long ago were also heroes. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he was sitting cross-legged next to him, looking unusually quiet, and the pirate covered in bruises was also a hero worthy of admiration.

For the first time, Don realized that there were so many amazing people in his world!

"Let a child die in front of me."

"I Rod can't do it!"

"I gave it away as food!"

These simple, calm and abnormal words kept echoing in Don's mind, shaking his soul and transforming his concept of facing life and the world.

The sea breeze blew silently, and the two sat cross-legged, beside them, several huge shadows under the surface of the sea were either resting or swimming.

This is a windless zone, a desperate situation of life and death!

"I'm actually a very incompetent person."

Rod suddenly spoke, and Don En shook his body and listened carefully.

His eyes were filled with tears as he lowered his head. He didn't know why he was crying, but as long as he saw the shoulder of the man next to him out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't control himself.

"Since I was a child, compared with other junior brothers, I am the tail of the crane, I can't learn anything, and I learn very slowly!"

"It wasn't until I was in my forties that I could learn a little fur, and then I couldn't hold back my throbbing heart and became a pirate!"

"I led the seven children in my family, used decades of savings, exchanged for a dilapidated boat, and went to sea with passion."

"Well, unlike me, the kids are very talented, kind, and learn quickly."

After a pause, Rod suddenly felt a little depressed.

"They don't actually want to be pirates, and they are not suitable to be pirates, I let them come to this sea for my own selfishness, it was my mistake."

"For so many years, I have been letting them live a life of not having enough food and clothing, and I am really a failure."

"Still."

As he spoke, he laughed again, his expression turning proud.

"I've always been teaching them how to be a brave man, how to be a heroic man."

"This time, I finally have the opportunity to pretend to be cool in front of them."

Rod suddenly laughed, and he turned to look at Don.

"At that moment, I must be very handsome in the hearts of the children, right?"

Don lowered his head, covered his forehead with his right hand, blocked his eyes, took a few breaths, and then spit.

"Handsome! Stay! ”

What kind of man is this man?!

Just, what a jerk!

He scolded in his heart, but the tears in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
