"But she ...... Why didn't you co-opt those people? Wouldn't that be a more perfect result? Although Gentleness had basically explained the whole thing, White was still determined to find a more perfect solution, "Wouldn't it be better to bring him and his men together, so that we can leave quietly, and gain a loyal subordinate?" ”

"Your proposal is indeed very good, but I think you may have inadvertently overlooked one of the most important things." Gently said, the smile on his face suddenly slowly receded, "That is, although you know that Yi Qunda has infinite admiration and admiration for Jacos, it is very likely that Jacos does not know that as the most powerful pirate lord on Skull Island, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that she will not notice these things." ”

"But I always feel ......"

"And there's another thing you may not know about, and that's that Jacos herself also hides some secrets that can't be known to the pirates on Skull Island." Wen Wen let out a long breath and whispered, "For leaders, the unexpected means the unexpected mouth, and the unexpected mouth often means the unexpected change...... Take Jacos as an example, if those unexpected situations really happen to her, it is very likely that she will be killed by the same disaster as Yi Qunda, if you were given a choice, what choice would you make? ”

"Me?" White looked a little hesitant, "I...... I might have made the same decision as her, but I always felt like I was betraying someone else. ”

"The world is like this, people will always be selfish, although as a leader, you should try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, but fate is such a nasty thing sometimes so helpless, the sacrifice that should be made...... There are many times when there is no way to avoid it, and when you have your own troops, you will understand what I said today. ”

"Indeed...... I still don't quite understand. White shook his head as if he didn't understand, "Sacrifice or betrayal, these things are too complicated. ”

Hearing White's words, he couldn't help but smile gently: "Actually, it's not that complicated, let me put it this way, if one day, there is something that makes it difficult for you to choose, there are only two choices, choose one and I die, and choose two and you die by yourself...... What choice will you make? ”

"Gentle Lord...... You don't have to test my loyalty, I was just a little pirate before I met you, and I survived tonight, and I don't know if I'll ever see the sun tomorrow morning. A helpless smile appeared on White's face, "It was you and Admiral Cuenca who gave me a new lease of life, if the situation you said really happened, and I had to make such a cruel choice, I am willing to dedicate my life to you, to the Iron Sail Country, to the Iron Sail Navy." ”

"It's not a test, because I'm sure you're going to make a choice like you say you would make at that point, but." Gently smiled and reached out and patted White's shoulder gently, "I won't let you make that choice, you, including everyone in this Iron Sail Navy, are the property of the Iron Sail Country, the revival of the Iron Sail Country...... It's up to you. ”

"Gentle Adult ......"

Although the gentle words were very light, but listening to White's ears, he was extremely moved, the times make heroes, he was originally just an ordinary little pirate, how could he have enjoyed this feeling of being entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and now he has joined the Iron Sail Navy, even he has become a national hero.

"Okay, let's go back and rest, although we are not far from our destination, we still have to be vigilant...... The Sea Clans in this area are not as friendly as those around the Iron Sail Country, and we managed to crawl out of the pirate's den, but don't accidentally crash into it again. Wen Wen reached out again and patted White's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Although night fishing is also unique, but I thought about it, and I still forget it." ”

In the following voyage, the Beach Shell set sail again did not encounter any unimaginable difficulties and dangers, and the calm sea surface was like a wheat field after the autumn harvest, and not even a single wave was almost visible.

Following the monsoon all the way to the east, early in the morning of the third day, the Beach Shell came to the southern sea near the country of shadows, and along the long coastline, Wen Wen suddenly found a familiar cape in his memory, and when he saw the ships moored on the side of the cape, the familiar wooden docks and the seaside buildings full of memories, his head was filled with emotion.

"I'm going to be good...... Actually came back here? Ha ha...... Now that I think about it, I really miss it! ”

Siris, who was following the boat, heard Wen Wen's emotion at the bow of the boat, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at him suspiciously: "Lord Wenwen...... Have you been to this place before? ”

"I used to be a wandering knight in this country, and although I can't talk about going to all the lands, I have actually been here in the southwest...... Oops, pull over, I'm going down and buy something. ”

"It's not very far from my hometown, I seem to have heard of this place when I was a kid...... This island seems to be called Keane Island, and the people on it are all Keane people. White glanced at the promontory not far away, "But I can't remember more memories." ”

"That's right, it's called Keane Island, and that tavern is the Sailor's Tavern with its coconut rum! Uncle Cuenca's idea for orange-flavored rum was inspired after drinking it here! A shallow smile appeared on his gentle face, "This is also the place where my dream began, this is where I met Uncle Cuenca, and then went back to the Iron Sail Country with him, just in time to meet the red-bearded pirate who surrounded the island and you guys!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Gentle, it's been so long, don't mention it. White smiled sheepishly, "If we had known that Admiral Cuenca was still alive at that time, we wouldn't have dared to trouble the Iron Sail Country!" ”

"Is that guy that famous?" Hearing White's words, a feeling of curiosity couldn't help but rise in Wen Wen's heart, "But it doesn't matter...... Now that you're here, how can you not bring some souvenirs back! Hehehe, although I don't drink much, the coconut-flavored rum here is indeed a fairy brew in the world! It's so much better than those sour orange juices brewed by Uncle Cuenca! ”
