Chapter 395: Curtain call
(Cat flutter Chinese) After his direct subordinate General Akainu made such an almost protest move, Sengoku did not get angry but sighed deeply. Sengoku understands this sentiment, in the past, when he was in the navy, he used to think things so simple, but when the higher the position, he understands that the responsibility on his shoulders is heavier, and he needs to think more before doing anything.
Did he get it right? He didn't know about that. But he knew that he would not regret the decision.
"Fang Xing." Sengoku said.
This is a "greeting" after a long absence, Fang Xing heard the dissatisfaction full of resentment from this title of the Warring States, he raised his pale face, and said in a playful tone: "What's wrong?" Old man of the Warring States. ”
The resentment on Sengoku's face turned into anger, thanks to this kid being able to say such things when he did this series of things.
When Sengoku was about to vent out, the crane on the side pressed his arm, so that his anger did not vent.
"You're smart." Crane said to Fang Xing, her gaze shifted to Jack who had collapsed to the ground, "This is the source of your confidence?" ”
"Isn't that wrong?" Fang Xing said.
The crane saw Fang Xing's confidence from this sentence, this was Fang Xing's intention at the beginning? Or is it an idea that comes in the middle of the way? She couldn't tell, but it still gave her some palpitations.
Use the power of the navy to stabilize the dynamics of the Chambord Islands. Use Reilly to become a combat force. Using Blackbeard, he cut off the superfluous forces. At the same time, they were used to block Whitebeard so that the situation could develop step by step.
Sure enough, he grew up, Crane Heart said.
"Yes, that's right." Crane nodded, "Under all kinds of changes, the Navy has already had the idea of giving up this layout, and this person has become the key to making this idea a reality." ”
Tsuru didn't explain it too clearly, just said it ambiguously.
But the answer has long been revealed.
The relationship between the navy and the alliance was to cause a conflict between Kaido and Whitebeard, and at the same time, if there is a chance, to annihilate Whitebeard.
And Fang Xing's plan completed the process in disguise and achieved the goal. Neither Kaido nor Whitebeard are good-tempered people, and the two will inevitably have a war because of this matter, a war between the Four Emperors!
This is the situation that the Navy wants to see, not to mention that now is not the time for the Navy to care about other things, the Advance City has been declared destroyed, the situation of Kaido's attack on Wano Country is not yet known, and the intermittent fluctuations at sea are triggered, and the Navy has no chance to care about other things.
"What else is there to say, let Karp give this kid a good beating."
Even through the information, he knew that Karp was not here, but there was still a pain on the top of Fang Xing's head for no reason.
He had this feeling more than once, and whenever Karp was mentioned, the smell of pain from the "Iron Fist of Love" would come from the top of his head, which was the sequelae of being beaten by Karp for a long time.
"I think it's better to use him as a piece of clothing." Tsuru mentioned.
Fang Xing shuddered, compared to the violence of the Iron Fist of Love, the cold violence of the crane was much more terrifying, it was a feeling of cleansing the heart, and no one with bad intentions was willing to try it.
Fang Xing turned the topic away, and said in front of Marco and the others without any hesitation: "Anyway, this time it can be regarded as helping the navy to trap Whitebeard, and this is also my gift to you." ”
"You kid is embarrassed to say such things, your gift is not small, but you should solve the matter of imprisoning the Tianlong people in the naval base."
Fang Xing's face showed a little teasing, this smile crane was not unfamiliar, she knew that this kid was going to take advantage again.
"I'll take care of this matter myself."
"Your solution, I'm afraid, is to escape." Tsuru said angrily.
"Well, there's one more thing I need the Navy to help with." Fang Xing said.
……
Reilly sat alone in the intimate tavern, sipping his wine.
Fang walked over, sat down beside him without being invited by Reilly, picked up a cup along the way, and poured himself a glass of juice.
"Huh?" Reilly couldn't help but mutter.
"The wine doesn't taste good, but the juice is better to drink." Fang Xing replied. Alcohol could not intoxicate his body, and judging by the taste alone, it was obvious that the juice in the tavern tasted better.
After drinking the juice, Fang Xing's fair face softened slightly, he put down the cup, and paused for a while before slowly saying, "You are so leisurely." ”
Reilly had a wry smile on his lips, and the wine had become bitter, how could he be called leisurely after the battle, but what really made him feel bitter was the bleak memories that he had not recalled.
"Left?" He said that his voice was desolate, and the departure of his friend Roger's son gave him a sense of remembrance
"Left." Fang Xing replied softly, and put away the usual teasing in his tone.
There was no crying, no farewell, just a simple "goodbye", just as natural as simply sending a goodbye expression in the buckle.
Fang Xing's unexpected performance infected Reilly, and he sighed, "Why would I be willing to be a pirate in the first place? ”
"Who knows?" Fang Xing regained his previous expression and teased: "If the thief doesn't get on the thief ship, then where else can he go." Drinking wine from my tavern without my permission is really"
"Isn't that the pay?" Reilly's face twitched, subduing the Drought Jack under the Four Emperors Kaido, and the reward was only a few drinks in a tavern, no matter how you think about it, he suffers.
He asked rhetorically, "And you also robbed this tavern, you are sorry"
Without any hesitation, Fang Xing said generously: "Well, I'm sorry. ”
This shameless way of answering made Reilly deflated all of a sudden, and the slap had to be combined with the two to make it loud, which made him feel guilty.
He silently raised his glass, ready to drink alone.
At this time, Fang Xing said the purpose of his coming here, "I'm leaving too." ”
As if expected, Reilly's expression did not change at all, but had a slight arc of laughter.
"Needless to say, you should explain these things, what do you mean by placing people in Xia Qi's bar in my name?"
After the battle, Reilly initially returned to Xia Qi's bar, but he found that he had taken the blame, and the result of the blame was obvious, and he was kicked out.
"What's the problem? It's safest there. Fang Xing replied indifferently.
"Big problem!" Reilly barely maintained an indifferent state, after all, the elder and the junior quarreled, it looked strange, "Xia Qi is not a shelter, the most important thing is that if you use my name and you leave, I will bear the anger instead of you." ”
"You can't bear me?" Fang Xing said suddenly.
"Huh?" Reilly resisted the desire to do it, "Don't be too narcissistic, I can't bear to do anything with a man?" I'm just blaming you. ”
"I see, I know." Fang Xing waved his hand.
A strange taste appeared on Reilly's face, although Fang Xing said something that seemed to be compromised, he always felt that the more he explained, the more vague it became.
"You kid, let's go quickly." In the end, he had no choice but to say. "Your original ship has been controlled, and I have prepared a ship for you at the other end, well, it's quite cool to beat the Tianlong people, but there are a lot of troubles."
Fang Xing smiled, he glanced at Reilly, and said, "Maybe when, I'll come back." After saying this, he slowly stood up and left the door.
After Fang Xing left, Reilly raised his wine glass alone, and his surroundings seemed a little lonely, he said, "Although it is a bit hateful, but when I think back to the life of the fleet in the past, I am really a little reluctant."
……
Emma cautiously took the few Baileys from Xia Qi's palm.
"This is"
Xia Qi smoked a cigarette and said indifferently: "Your salary." ”
Wages? What a distant word is this Emma hasn't heard the word for I don't know how long, a year? Two years? No, she doesn't have a salary conceptually, she's a slave, a slave who sells her body, and everything she has belongs to the master. It wasn't until the arrival of that seemingly weak man that everything about her changed drastically.
She did not refuse, and carefully carried this small amount of wages in her arms, which was a precious thing that reflected her value, even far greater than the value of the currency. Emma even decided to collect it, which represented a new step for her.
She turned and diligently searched for the stain, for a place where she could clean up. She can only use her work to reflect her own value.
Even though she is no longer a slave at this moment, she is worried about being thrown away again like a cargo, so she can only prove herself in this way, which is a habit she has developed for a long time.
"Go and get some rest, my tavern isn't so clean again." Xia Qi spat out the flue.
There were not many women like Emma, and everyone was looking for a place to show their worth, constantly cleaning the shiny tavern.
The women looked around left and right, but no one dared to really stop moving.
In the past, the owner of the tavern used to speak rhetorically, saying something to make them stop, but then punishing those who did stop.
Xia Qi scratched her head in some distress, and she instructed Emma, "You deal with it, remember to let them rest." ”
This group of women is headed by Emma, which is also due to Reggie, when the original boss died, Fang Xing didn't care about anything, Reggie became the real boss, and Emma is Reggie's woman, so she naturally became the backbone of the woman. In addition, Emma has a good temper and scheming, and gradually the others are also convinced.
Emma commanded her subordinates familiarly, and after neatly arranging the task, Xia Qi called her over.
"You're very nice, you helped me out of trouble."
Emma was a little flattered, with a panicked look on her face, and shook her head repeatedly, "No"
Before she could say anything, she was blocked back by Xia Qi, "Do you think that I will worry about you seizing power and thus harming you?" This kind of thing is troublesome to death, even more so than the guy who manages Raleigh. Really, that little ghost named Fang Xing threw the trouble in the name of Reilly, and he had to do it, and Reilly couldn't refute it. ”
Xia Qi laughed out loud and seemed to be in a good mood. Emma also relaxed a little in this state, and for some reason, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did the others go?" ”
When she asked, she regretted it.
Panicked, frightened, helpless and complicated emotions welled up, and she didn't know why she would ask such a question, such an extremely stupid act. Is it because life is too good? She couldn't help but think.
Xia Qi was not as complicated as she imagined, but she could see Emma's frightened emotions, and she replied in as gentle a tone as possible: "This answer, I have already said, choose to stay or leave." ”
"I mean, where did they go when they left?" Emma said, since she had already spoken, there was no point in covering up, so she could only continue to ask.
"Well, you're worried that I didn't give too many people a chance, so it's possible to harm them?" Xia Qi said the main point, and then smiled, "Don't worry, it's just that the tavern can't accommodate too many people, so I let them leave, and I also found connections on the island, making them civilians." ”
Emma had a hesitant look on her face.
"Don't believe me? But also, it's hard to believe words alone. Xia Qi said calmly, she rang the rattle in her hand, and a moment later, a figure walked in.
Emma is no stranger to this figure, it is Reggie, and it is also her man.
Xia Qi said, "Reggie is helping me now, let him explain it to you." ”
After Reggie's explanation, Emma chose to believe dispensably
Xia Qi didn't force anything to explain anymore, because she knew it was meaningless. At this moment, Emma is a fully armed woman, and only after integrating into life and accepting life may she be able to take off that layer of defense.
Emma's life went on and changed.
From the initial panic and vigilance, to the cautiousness afterward, to the ordinary nature at the end.
Step by step, she transformed, and at the last moment of her attitude, she rebelled against fate.
She broke up with Reggie. The relationship between Emma and Reggie originally happened because of self-preservation, and there was no love between them, only pure use. Without that vigilance, without danger, this outcome is doomed.
In her spare time at work, Emma looked up at the distant sky.
She blessed and blessed the young man who seemed to be weaker than a woman now, because he changed the miserable life that should have ended in the lawless zone.
She learned to look forward to tomorrow to be better.
