A day later.

All the fishmen in the Arlong Imperial Square were cleaned up, tied together one by one, with several thick knots twisted from strong hemp rope, and were separated to wait for the Navy Seventy to come and hand over the escort.

As for Octopus Hachi, after all, he is Reilly's savior, and in the face of the "Hades", Bucky has done enough of his ideological work to make him repentantly leave Cocoa West Village with the sea beast Moo.

Within a day, the news of Ah Long's defeat spread to more than 20 villages that had been ruled by the West Village, centered on Cocoa West Village, and the villagers who flocked to the village all hid their faces and wept bitterly after seeing with their own eyes the fishmen who had been reduced to prisoners and the hideous pirate flags in Ah Long Square were replaced with white flags.

It's probably a tear called "happiness......

Although the rain was still falling, and the air was still very humid, the banquet to celebrate liberation was still in full swing under the canopy.

Everyone's faces were beaming, a variety of tables were lined with drinks, grilled meats, and fruit slices, and in the middle of the banquet was a two-meter-tall cream cake with the word "Freedom" engraved on it.

Ah Kin, Nagao, all those who can be named are happily rejoicing and celebrating in the banquet at the moment, laughing.

Kabaji and Mochi were rendered by the warm atmosphere around them, instigated by a few villagers who were in high spirits, you and I were fighting for a drink, not showing weakness to each other, the two of them were not a deep hatred, but in the early years, they often competed for merit on the Bucky boat and sought a cadre position, and after so many years, the antagonistic consciousness has long become a habit that cannot be broken.

Shuma took Niche to taste all kinds of delicately shaped and good-tasting food on the table, this lion foodie with a head full of food, finally got his wish today, and pounced on the table with only some sashimi sprinkled with cumin and peppercorns, and lifted the whole table to the ground, but the surrounding villagers only laughed, not annoyed.

Xiuma picks up a stone and throws a balloon into the air, and every time he hears the sound of a balloon bursting, he will always jump a few times with joy, which feels very novel.

Klya is also taking care of Nokigao and Calis's sister at the Orange Grove Cottage, and Calis is also helping, and as the patient's condition gradually improves, Kya's mood is also like a cloud, and her mood is much more relaxed.

On the high slope of Cocoa West Village, in front of the tomb with a cross, the grass is green, and the rain and sea breeze blow like endless waves, undulating outward layer by layer, which is beautiful.

If it weren't for this rain, the view from here would have been unforgettable......

Nami slowly poured the yellowish orange whiskey onto the cross, then collected the remaining half of the jug and placed it on the ground, "Bermel, you're in a good position, with a reckless view of the sea and the whole village back...... Don't think I'm here to chat today, I'm here to tell you the good news, the village has been liberated......"

"Well, liberate the ......" The sea breeze blew, and the orange hair was swept back of her head, she picked up half a pot of wine on the ground, unscrewed the wine cork, tilted her neck and took a sip of "grunt", then lowered her head, wiped the wine stains on the corner of her mouth with her arm, and buried her eyes in the shadows.

"But you know, what I hate the most is pirates, let me be a navigator of the pirates, in that kind of environment that makes people numb, a year, two years, five years, ten years, I will go crazy......"

Syllable...... Syllable......

It was the sound of footsteps on the muddy grass and bending the grass.

The red-nosed man in the captain's cloak walked down the slope, and instead of speaking immediately, he walked up to Nami's side, sat down cross-legged, and unceremoniously snatched the orange wine from Nami's hand, took a sip of it, and put the flask on the ground.

"If you're not in a hurry, listen to me tell a story."

Seeing that Nami didn't speak, Bucky said slowly:

"On the great voyage, there was a country covered with layers of snow all year round, and in the end street of the royal capital, there was a little boy in ragged clothes who huddled in the alley all the year round, and whenever someone came by, he would take the matchbox in the basket and come up to sell, 'Sir, sir, my match is a good match, and it only takes a few Baileys to make a fire and light a cigarette.'

Some of the passers-by would buy a few boxes, but most of them left in a hurry.

However, even so, the little boy never showed a disappointed expression, because he had already stolen the money bags of those people during the contact......

The money he stole was certainly not for himself, but for his sister, a six-year-old girl.

The little girl, who lived in an infirmary in a village outside the royal capital, had a strange illness that required a mixture of poisons to suppress the attack, but these poisons cost a lot of money, and the quacks at the infirmary often said to him, 'Your sister will only survive with me, and if you risk taking her out, she will die quickly, and if you can't afford it, I will throw her out in the same way.' ’

The little boy hated the doctor, and even all the doctors, and the doctors who were fraternity on the surface were worms that drilled into the money holes behind his back, but he had no choice, in order to delay his sister's life, he continued to steal, and he was also caught in the process of stealing, and he was also beaten, and in serious cases, even his entire arm was broken.

He kept feeding the insatiable quack doctor with the money, until one day a skilled doctor came to the village.

The doctor is a capable person, in many years of travel, learned all kinds of ways to cure the disease, even if it is a terminal illness in the eyes of outsiders, he still has a way to treat it, after learning that there is a little girl in the village who suffers from this disease, he has the idea of helping, he has rich experience, he has encountered this kind of case before, and the people in the village say that if it is him, he may be able to save the little girl.

But the little boy who hated all the doctors stopped him, and he preferred to believe in the quack doctor who used poison to support the girl's life than the doctor who had the prescription, because he lacked a 'trust' in his heart......"

Bucky took another sip and stopped talking.

"What happened later......"

Nami asked quietly on her face, but in her heart she also wanted to know the rest of the story.

"Without later, the ending doesn't matter......"

"What......" Nami looked at Bucky in surprise.

Bucky stood up and said calmly, "Would you rather believe that Aaron, who killed his stepmother, would abide by the agreement of money, than believe that a person who is desperate to help you defeat the enemy and liberate the entire village, labeled as a 'pirate', will put the other party into the same level of evil as Aaron regardless of right and wrong, and will only subjectively predict the development trajectory of things, but will not learn to accept and recognize, don't you think you are very similar to that little boy......"

Bucky looked up, and when the last drop of rain hit his face, the clouds began to dissipate, and the long-lost sun finally returned to the earth.

Looking at the pocket watch scavenged from the Aaron Empire, the time was about the same, and the kitten's guess was very accurate......

Bucky flicked his damp cloak and walked away, leaving Nami speechless.

"There is already a better alternative than you, you are not needed, after that, just do whatever you want......"
