Volume 2 The Flame of Youth Chapter 58 I Went Crazy
Until nearly noon, the lively flow of people washed away the silence of the early morning, and the town of Rogue, which can already be comparable to the city level, finally revealed what a big town should look like, the central street was full of people, stepping on the last step of the steps, it seemed that it had been carefully calculated, and the distance had been kept at a constant value of Lassis and Luo, with the execution table as the goal, one after the other submerged into the noisy flow of people, Evita had no interest in the place where Roger died in the end, and ran to the commercial street to sweep the goods, and the bitter Bebo was captured by her as a coolie, Originally, the white bear wanted to go to the town square with Lasis and the others.
He hadn't taken two steps before Lasis stopped, leaned down, and stretched out his right hand to gently caress the spotless blue and white stone road.
"What's wrong?" Luo asked, who didn't know why behind him.
Lassis said softly, "You know what, Luo? Although I disdain the false name of 'One Piece', I still respect the man Roger from the bottom of my heart, this man, for the sake of his companions, chose to go to war with a country without hesitation, for the sake of obsession, he did not bow his head under the almost one-sided armed siege of the 'Golden Lion', on the contrary, the heroic counterattack, single-handedly contributed to the process and the ending full of dramatic unbelievable, and then the world-famous 'Battle of Adward', not to mention that he was the only one, the only one who could be in the ' Whitebeard', the old monster known as the 'strongest' on the sea today, left a fatal scar on his chest, and even the 'red-haired' Shanks, who was already on a par with 'Whitebeard' in status and was also known as the 'Four Emperors', was just an inconspicuous intern on his ship. ”
"Roger, the strongest man of the last era, came here from that side at the end of his life." Lasis, who stood up, pointed in the direction of the dock behind him, took two steps forward, and then pointed to the square, the direction of the execution table, "And then walk there, his end, tell me, walking on the last part of his life, what kind of expression is that man?" ”
Luo shook his head and said softly: "I don't know what kind of expression that man used to walk the road under our feet, but I know that when the executioners stabbed his body with knives, he used an unbeatable kingly smile to interpret the final ending, which was a wonderful ending." ”
Lasis sighed: "Yes, it is indeed a wonderful ending to exchange his death for this magnificent era." ”
Luo Shen said: "The will passed down from generation to generation, the tide of the times and people's dreams, as long as people pursue the solution of freedom, all this will never stop." ”
Lasis smiled narrowly: "I didn't expect that the black-bellied guy with a gloomy face also has the potential to become a philosopher." ”
Luo laughed at Lacis's ridicule and said sincerely: "It was said by the old people in my hometown." ”
"Hometown, ......" Lassis fell into his own thoughts, the term "hometown" was indeed a little too far away for him.
It happened to be a holiday day, an open day for the commercial opening of the square allowed by the town hall, and countless licensed operators gathered in the town square, the street vendors hissed and shouted as hard as they could, and they would hurry up to sell their goods to every pedestrian who stayed, and the clowns dressed in funny and exaggerated costumes stepped on a wheel, stood on a ball painted with abstract patterns, made funny expressions, and occasionally ran into a small fire, which made the children sitting on the shoulders of adults happy. Esmeranda's false beauty and Quasimodo's humanity are diligently portrayed on the improvised stage by the humble little actors, and the jeep girls dancing the folk dance are swaying wild and free, casual and fickle with their hot and moving figures.
But none of these eye-catching things piqued Lacis's interest.
Under the execution table, Lasis narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and smiled, "It seems that some little hairy children have different hearts!" ”
On the inside of one of the legs of the execution table, a glass and a half filled with water was placed upright, and inside was a beautiful bouquet of white dendrobium orchids, which meant "father".
Lasis directly ignored the wooden board next to the execution table, marked with a notice "no climbing", and climbed up with his own words, even if it was also in the square, the operators would rather crowd the stalls together than get close to the execution table, Lacis's reckless behavior did not attract the attention of others, the local residents of Rogue Town have quite complex feelings for Roger, the blind worship of young people, and the vicious curse of those who have a stable income for family affairs, the most special is the elderly, In the eyes of their older generation, no matter what status Roger obtains, he is still just the stubborn companion who made the backstreets a mess together in his childhood.
Just like 19 years ago, Roger faced death with calmness on the execution table.
Lasis sat cross-legged, breathing steadily, looking out at the sun-shimmering sea in the distance, the last thing the king had ever seen.
Do you miss the blue sea of freedom and adventure at the far end at the last minute?
Do you still miss your wife and children at the last minute?
Do you miss your companions at the last minute?
At the last minute, did you still miss your wealth, fame, and power, that great treasure OnePiece?
The man who stood at the apex, did he miss it at the last moment?
These are bound to be questions that will always haunt the mind and go unanswered.
Rarely, Lasis took off the black ring that had been hanging on his chest, engraved with the letter "D", slapped it vigorously on the execution table, and then took out the last Holy City special from "Mary Joa" on his body, but did not smoke it, but threw it next to the ring in great luxury, Lasis said to himself: "I don't know if you have a habit of smoking, the old man never tells your story in front of us, and he is very taboo, but the old man still agreed to your entrustment back then and adopted your only son, If you weren't in different camps, with the personalities of the two of you, you would definitely become a good pair of friends, right? I've known your son since he was 6 years old, and although the relationship is a bit not very harmonious, and sometimes we fight and kill each other, heh, it is said that the guys with 'D' in their names are related to the forgotten history of 800 years ago, and you see I was born with this strange ring. Maybe because of the sun's exposure, the cigarette spontaneously combusted, but Lasis didn't care and left it to fend for itself, Lasis laughed, "Maybe we were still in our own family 800 years ago!" I know! For those shitty things, the government's 'arrest talk' is complete bullshit! Although I don't know the reason, I still know that you turned yourself in, is it a broken love? I can't figure it out at all! But none of that matters, I just want to say that you have an amazing son! ”
Next, Lasis babbled on and on a lot of trivial things that happened on Mount Colber when they were children.
The cigarette was finally gone.
Lassis finally had nothing to say and fell silent.
Sitting alone for a while, as if thinking of something, Lasis suddenly opened his arms and shouted to the sea in the distance with all his strength: "Lao Tzu's treasure!? ”
The inexplicable shouts instantly focused the eyes of the audience on the execution table, puzzled, surprised, watching the play, mocking, and so on, only one thing was common, the crowd gradually fell silent, silent, no matter when and where, everything about Roger always attracts attention, people are just curious, which actor actually blatantly played a play that was banned by the government, Roger's play, can only be staged in a hidden small theater.
To the crowd below, looking at them, like bystanders from the execution of Roger 19 years ago, Lasis ignored and continued to shout: "If there is a kind, go find it, Great Voyage!" I put everything in the world there! ”
Silent silence.
Silence erupted.
Instead of responding to Roger's cheers, Lasis was responded to with fresh eggs and vegetables, apparently not prepared underneath, and there were also coin tosses, but they were all told to buy a ferry ticket and go back to his hometown.
"Hahahaha, there really isn't a little bit of the domineering charm that 'One Piece' should have!" Letting the debris fly past him or hit him, the self-amusing Lacis laughed nervously, stretched out his head and called down, "Luo! Gauze! ”
"How?" Luo, who had been waiting for a long time below, and didn't expect Lacis to make such a farce, stopped his pen, put away the notebook dedicated to Lacis's condition, and looked up and asked.
"I really don't understand Roger's thoughts!" Lasis leaned down and put on a hideous expression full of murderous intent: "As a man whose force value is almost equal to that of invincibility, he should kill all the teasers who came in front of him with a posture of watching the show!" ”
At this time, an egg happened to hit the top of his head accurately, and the egg stink.
"Who knows." Law pointed in the direction of Central Street, "But I think before we can figure out the psychology of One Piece, we should get rid of those sheriffs first." ”
In Lacis's strange logic, the so-called sheriff is the chengguan in his previous life, Lasis laughed and said: "It makes sense, in my hometown, the chengguan are all called the 'strongest special forces', isn't it domineering enough?" ”
In the memoirs published decades later, Luo's evaluation of Lasis is the most summarizing: suspicious and capricious, uncertain, difficult to get along with, the organization of handling affairs seems to be clueless, but it seems to have systematic steps, whether it is the early naval career or the later pirate career, it has nothing to do with good and evil, as if there is no concept of justice or evil in the heart, and let it do what it likes. I don't care about other people's opinions at all, in other words, there is no discipline at all, and if I want to sum it up a little more simply, it is four words - "I am crazy".
