Chapter 416: Sacrifice
Smuji is right, if she is unkind to give up, she is also willing to make such a choice. Then the act of joining the Pirates of the Troubled Times can be regarded as complete treachery.
If they do, the Pirates will be a laughing stock for years to come.
At least for Smuji, if the price of living is to give up dignity, then it is better to die.
"Who said I'm going to let you join the Pirates of Troubled Times?" With a helpless expression on his face, Yang Bai wondered.
"Don't you mean that?" Smuji asked rhetorically.
"Of course, take you in? It's too much trouble to manage so many people and so many islands! Yang Bai shook his head and said.
"So you mean an alliance?" Smuji wondered.
"Even if you're still here, you're not qualified to unite with the Pirates of the Troubled Times." Yang Bai shook his finger and said.
"Then what do you mean?!" Smuji was in a hurry.
"Haha, don't worry, and listen to me slowly, mine is not to incorporate your pirate group, nor to form an alliance with you or make you my subordinates, but to cover you" Yang Bai put on a big brother posture.
"And what are you doing here?" Katakuri found that he couldn't keep up with Yang Bai's mental journey at all.
"It's very simple, I'm covering you, and I'll help you if you have any problems. I've helped you so much, and you're probably too embarrassed to look at me when I need you. Yang Bai explained.
"You want us to be your little brother?" Katakuri finally understood what Yang Bai said.
"You can understand that way, too." Yang Bai nodded.
"But what's the difference between this and us being co-opted by you?!" Smuji said angrily.
"Of course it's different! What a difference in nature! First of all, you still have your own territory and management, and secondly, we are at best a partnership, not a subordinate relationship. Yang Bai said it all right, this was all learned from him and some company executives in his previous life.
Seeing that Katakuri and the others were still silent, Yang Bai thought it was time to add another fire.
flashed to the side, still scolding there, shaking Yang Bai's ears buzzing.
Frowning and blocking her mouth with a ghost hand, Yang Bai put the knife on her neck, and then forced Katakuri to say: "I'll give you ten seconds at the end, if you don't speak, then I'll take it as your acquiescence!" ”
"10, 9, 8......" Yang Bai counted the seconds very quickly, all he had to do was to force Katakuri and the others to say what they really thought.
"7, 6, 5, 4......" countdown is about to enter the last three seconds, but Yang Bai seems very relaxed, because from the expressions of Katakuri and others, he has already seen the result.
And just as he was about to read out "3", Katakuri finally interrupted him.
"Please wait a minute......" Katakuri's tense body slackened as he said this, and his expression changed from solemn to relieved and flat.
"Mom, may I ask you one last question? In your eyes...... What are we? Look, Katakuri wanted a word, just one word, and he was willing to take the lead and sacrifice the lives of their entire group.
Smiling slightly, Yang Bai was very kind and temporarily lifted the seal.
"Katakuri! My son! Now is the time to prove your worth! Don't let me down! With a cold face, he said to Katakuri in a threatening tone.
"Value? Hahaha, value! Tearing off the scarf that covered his mouth and revealing his teeth, Katakuri said in a deep voice, "You're a monster, Charlotte. Lingling! ”
"How dare you call me by my name! I'll kill you! Said angrily.
Closing his eyes in pain, Katakuri's eyes flashed back to the scenes of his memory.
He will never forget that from the day he became sensible, he was faced with that emotionless gaze and that piercing cold childhood.
He couldn't forget that when he wanted to protect some of his younger siblings, the person who stood against him turned out to be his mother.
In the fake fairy tale world, everyone is just a doll, a doll who is manipulated to achieve her goals.
Everyone is depressed, and everyone's heart is very painful, and yet today...... The pain is coming to an end.
"I hope ...... All of us can survive! With a roar of rage, Katakuri rushed towards Yang Bai desperately, and this was his choice.
"I see." Looking at Katakuri rushing towards him, Yang Bai did not feel the killing intent in his body, but could only feel a sense of sadness and relief.
"Don't!" Tears welled up in his eyes, and Smuji could already see Katakuri's thoughts.
However, it was already too late, and from the moment Katakuri rushed out, no one could stop him.
The sharp blade pierced Katakuri's chest, blood flowing down the wound, but Katakuri's hideous mouth showed a smile of relief.
Katakuri knows better than anyone what the pirates are in right now.
The so-called choice and negotiation are just Yang Bai's thoughts, no matter how they choose, their death is a foregone conclusion.
And what Yang Bai said is not wrong, if they want to live well, the best choice is to become an affiliate of Yang Bai, this is the cruel reality.
But no matter what Yang Bai says, if they want to join Yang Bai's forces naturally, they are still one step away.
"If I don't die, the Pirates won't be truly leaderless, so no matter what...... I have to die! A line of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Katakuri looked at Yang Bai and smiled: "Take care of it...... Thank you, my brothers and sisters! ”
"I swear they'll be happier than ever." Yang Bai took a deep breath and said, "But you don't have to make such a choice. ”
"It's nothing, it's worth it." Smiling at the sky, Kataku muttered to himself, "Only then will they be able to truly look at the sky." ”
After placing the breathless Katakuri, Yang Bai lowered his head and flicked his fingers, and the ghost hands suddenly exerted their strength and pulled them into the dark abyss.
The atmosphere at the scene was sad, and as the souls of those who had been given life flew out one by one, losing their lives, almost all the cadres of the pirate group began to cry.
Maybe they're crying because of the collapse of the Pirates' empire, or maybe they're crying for Katakuri......
