Chapter 006: Freedom
The news that Saitama was going to become a navy soon spread in the small bandit den.
The reactions of the crowd were also different.
When he knew that it was Karp who personally invited the bald head, Dadan took advantage of Saitama's time to go out for a walk and quietly found Karp in private.
"Hey, Mr. Karp......"
Dadan pulled Karp, who was teaching the three little children a lesson, and asked sneakily, "About that guy named Saitama...... I'll admit he looks strong, but speaking of which, we've only known him for a few days, so what if he's a spy sent by the pirates to lurk in the navy? ”
Karp was stunned: "Alas? You, a bandit, would think about these issues for the Navy? ”
"After all, he stayed with me for a few days......"
Dadan held a cigarette and said worriedly: "If he finds out that he has a problem in the future, maybe it will also affect me......"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Dadan!"
Karp clasped his hands in front of his chest and grinned, "Preventing Ace and Sabo from eating the Overlord meal may indeed be deliberately disguised in order to get close to me, but it is definitely not something that a vicious bad guy would do, especially if he is as powerful......"
Dardan was about to say something, but Karp immediately interrupted her.
"Righteous people, no matter where they are, are as dazzling as the sun, and the old man will not look away!"
With that, Karp stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance: "Look, that guy has returned!" ”
Dadan subconsciously looked in the direction of Karp's finger.
There, a shiny bald head refracted a blinding glare in the sun!
Dadan immediately opened his mouth wide in shock: "Ah! Worthy of Mr. Karp, that guy...... It's as dazzling as the sun! ”
Karp smirked: "Hahaha...... The old man is right, right? ”
In the distance, Saitama greeted Karp.
"Yo, Mr. Karp."
Karp nodded as if admiring a perfect junior: "Welcome back, private!" ”
Looking at Saitama's figure getting closer and closer, Karp thought of his son Ryu again...... The smile on his face faded away, and he sighed sadly.
Really......
That stinky boy was supposed to be a Navy ......
and Luffy, who was also taken a crooked path by Shanks, and must be corrected in time!
……
Saitama returns to the bandits' den and prepares to enter the room.
But two small figures suddenly stood in front of him, it was Sabo and Ace, and Luffy behind him saw it, and immediately ran over, standing side by side with them, stinky farts looking up at Saitama.
Saitama scratched his head inexplicably: "...... What do you do? ”
"You're going to be in the navy, is it true!?"
Ace snorted fiercely, his eyes full of disdain: "You actually go to be a lackey of the world government, I really look down on you!" ”
Saab was also very incomprehensible: "You are so strong, why don't you go to the sea and pursue freedom?" ”
Luffy chimed in: "Why don't you be a pirate?" ”
"Pirates......"
Saitama tilted his head and thought, "I've read a lot of newspapers these days, and I learned that people in this world face the threat of pirates every day, and the righteous navy is stationed in the four seas, protecting people's lives and property......"
"Hey, that's all a lie!"
Ace took a step back dissatisfied, waved his hand violently, and said, "The pirates are free sea warriors and men recognized by the world!" ”
Luffy next to him hurriedly applauded: "Well said, Ace!" ”
It's a pity that the three of them didn't notice that there was already an old man behind him who was ready to roll up his sleeves and come over to give them a fat beating.
……
"But why pirates?"
Ace was stunned: "What?" ”
Saitama asked, somewhat puzzled, "If you want to be a man, why do you have to be a pirate?" ”
"Do you need an explanation!?"
Ace shouted confidently: "Of course, because the sea is a man's romance, and the pirates are the most free and unrestrained sea warriors!" ”
"That's ......"
Saitama thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually...... I've seen a person who is similar to you, and this world is very similar to mine, strange people do whatever they want in the name of "freedom", and the heroes of the association are fighting desperately every day to protect people, although there are some characters in the heroes who are not so agreeable, but there are still countless real heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the belief in justice worthy of my recognition......"
Ace was dissatisfied, and said angrily: "What did you say!? Do you say that we are acting in the name of freedom!? ”
"Calling yourself a pirate is the same as calling yourself a weirdo."
In his mind, he remembered the guy who went on a hero hunt and called himself a weirdo: "Although you have done some good deeds, it is true that you have hindered and harmed the hero, in fact, you two have indeed been doing nonsense before, just like when we first met, you ate the overlord meal, and you enjoyed your freedom, but should those who were hurt by you accept their fate?" That's not right, right? ”
"I don't deny that you're not that bad."
Saitama looked at the two little children seriously, and said slowly: "But many things, what's not right is wrong, no matter what you're pursuing, it's not a reason to hurt others." ”
After a few words
Karp's eyes immediately lit up: "Well said, superior soldier!" ”
And Ace covered his ears but didn't listen, and Luffy next to him also blinked stupidly, unaware of it.
But Sabo, who was standing with them, gradually widened his eyes.
In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in my mind!
"Right...... That's it! ”
Sabo's young heart was like a river overturning: "This is the freedom I seek, I hate this ruthless country, but those who live in the kingdom are innocent, and what I want to destroy is the ignorance and greed imprinted in the bones of the aristocracy, who rule the world but are indifferent and emotionless...... No matter how Ace and I mess around, we can't change anything, and the freedom I want is to bring everyone the freedom to control their own destiny! ”
"Saitama Mr."
Sabo suddenly stood up, and said with a very serious face: "Thank you for your teaching!" But in order to pursue that freedom, I am not strong enough...... It's not enough! Please take me as an apprentice and teach me how to become a strong person like you, teacher. ”
"Sabo, ...... you?"
Ace looked at Sabo, and suddenly had a feeling of betrayal, and said angrily: "Don't you want to go to sea?" We've already said it......"
"I'll still go to sea!"
On Sabo's small face, his eyes were unprecedentedly determined: "But instead of becoming a pirate, I want to change the world so that all people can pursue their own freedom!" ”
