"That's true." He nodded gently, and said with a smile, "But at least you're on the right path now, don't you plan to go home and have a look?" ”

"Gentle sir, my home...... It was a long, long time ago that it disappeared into this blue sea. White's expression looked a little painful, "My home was originally located in the shallow sea in the south of the Continent of Life, it is a small sea country called 'Pell Country', there are no transportation arteries around us, our islands are not rich in minerals, and our people are not at all easy to stand ...... In general, our country of Pell is too ordinary to be ordinary sea country, nothing more. ”

"How can that be...... Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. ”

Wen Wen seemed a little speechless, he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to ask this, even if the other party was just an ordinary Iron Sail Fleet soldier, he would still respect the other party one hundred percent.

Those who respect others will always respect them.

"It's okay, Lord Gentle." Touched by the gentle respect, and after a long sigh, the young man whispered, "Although we have nothing in the eyes of the mainlanders and the people of the other sea nations, in the eyes of those pirates in the shallow southern seas, we still have a lot of things that can be called 'wealth', and these so-called 'wealth' attract these fierce pirates who are predators. ”

"Wealth? Could it be that your country of Pell is actually a place where there is a hidden treasure? Wen Wen asked in a puzzled voice.

A bitter smile appeared on White's face, he shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Where is there any wealth in our country of Pell, let alone a place of hidden treasure, in the eyes of those murderous pirates at that time, women and children were incomparable 'wealth'!" ”

White's words silenced Wen Wen for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Ignoring the gentleness in a daze, White continued to himself as if recalling the past: "I was only seven or eight years old at that time, and I only remember that dark night, with countless torches, and the shouts of the people, and in just one night, my hometown ———— Peer Island became a hell full of corpses and devastation, and the reason why I was able to survive that disaster was only because my mother hid me in the basement, and I was able to escape. ”

"This is an unimaginable atrocity!" Wen Wen shook his head and whispered, "But I still have a question, since it was the pirates who ruined your hometown, why did you ...... And be a pirate? ”

"Lord Wenwen, you must know that when the island of Peer was destroyed, I was just a child, and in such a chaotic world, without your strong strength, I would not have survived, let alone a child." There was no emotion in White's voice, "My hometown was attacked by a pirate force that called itself the 'Red Sea Fighter Regiment'. The organization of the South China Sea Federation, the meaning of the existence of this organization is to help those sea countries in the south resist the murderous pirates or terrible sea beasts, maintain regional stability, and coordinate the development of the region, although I don't know who founded this South China Sea Federation, but in my memory, every time the South China Sea Federation arrives at the harvest season, it will come to our Pell Island to collect taxes...... When I was younger, I naively thought they were trading with us, buying our catch, and only later did I find out that they were just here to collect money, just to collect what they call 'conservation money' from our Perl. ”

"If the South China Sea Federation really plays its role, it doesn't seem wrong to collect taxes from these small countries that are protected by itself." He nodded gently, "After all, if there is no income, this federation will not be able to run forever, right?" ”

"But herein lies the problem, Lord Gentle." A mocking smile appeared on White's face, "The Red Sea Fighter Regiment arrived in the waters near our Perl Country before the sun disappeared, and as soon as they appeared, our domestic patrols began to let the people take refuge, although our Perl Country is not close to the coast, but from us to the nearest garrison point of the South China Sea Federation, it is only a dozen nautical miles!" But the Red Sea Fighters have been wreaking havoc in our country of Perl all night, and we have not landed on the island's 'protection force' of the South China Sea Federation! ”

"At that time...... That's all you know? Wen Wen asked in a puzzled voice.

"Of course I didn't know it at that time, and at that time I was stupid enough to go to the South China Sea Federation to ask for their help." The self-deprecation on White's face suddenly turned into a monstrous hatred, "But they slandered me as a potential spy of the Red Sea Gladiator Regiment, and they said that if I wasn't a spy, how could I survive such a dangerous night...... Then they threw me on death row, not only did they not help us to avenge the Peer Kingdom, but they also used their own connections to suppress this whole thing, and after the Peer Kingdom was destroyed, the whole thing was so casually sunk into the sea. ”

"Later." Wen Wen thought about it, not knowing what to say, so he could only continue to ask about the progress of the matter as a loyal listener, "What happened later?" ”

"There were pirates on death row like me, and the idiot jailers were of no use, and the pirates banded together to kill the jailers and escape from their cells." White let out a long sigh, "At that time...... The pirates next door to me asked me if I wanted to escape with them and take revenge on the hateful Confederacy, or if I was going to stay in prison and wait for a humiliating death...... I chose the former without any hesitation. ”

"It's not your fault, anyone, even if it were me, would make the same decision as you." Gently nodded, "It's not your fault. ”

But then ...... I found that I had changed without even knowing it. "I hated those murderous pirates so much, and I became one of them; I thought about revenge on the Red Sea Fighters, but I found myself so weak that I couldn't even touch the edge of the Red Sea; I originally wanted to make the South China Sea Federation go up in smoke, but it turned out to be ...... Nothing has changed, except for myself, who has lived in a state of confusion for so many years, and has been the pirate I hate the most for so many years! ”
