Chapter 82: The Son of Hope
The grief of life and death is not taken to heart by the deceased, but the memory of the living is also a consolation to the victim.
Red Lotus Island, a large archipelago that flourished fifty years ago, finally came to naught under the power of the "Yan Emperor", and the eight scattered islands that were originally composed of tectonic plates could no longer be restored to their original state, so they became a large-scale archipelago from afar.
With the death of Camus, the mastermind behind the scenes, the displaced residents of the so-called "Heguo" have no sense of rebellion again, and all 300 people surrender unconditionally, and life and death are all up to Ace and Sabo, which is a little surprising to them.
"This is the so-called swordsman's temperament, stubborn and incorrigible." A little red said in such a calm tone for the first time, which made everyone's opinion of her change a lot.
For the so-called "restoration of the country", they did not hesitate to infiltrate all the major pirate groups and provoke battles, and as the beginning of the killing, they were often the first to die, but they still tirelessly repeated the same thing, never wavering from beginning to end.
After the incident was over, Ace also put his departure on the agenda, "So Sabo, you're not going to go with us?" ”
"Yes." Looking at the Black Flame Pirates who had all boarded the ship, Sabo showed a sincere smile, "I don't want to always walk behind you, just take a hitchhike or something, and ······ else"
He pointed to the hundreds of people who were busy with their work, "They offered to help us build a new ship, saying that it was Mr. Carlos's deathbed orders. ”
Carlos is Camus's father, that is, the old man before, seems to be the elder of the descendants of the country, very majestic in that group of people, when he saw his only son Camus go to death, the old man's life seems to have come to an end, what revenge ambitions, the ambition of recovering the country, there is no meaning, after explaining everything, holding Camus's body step into the sea, leaving only hundreds of people behind him to cry bitterly.
Seeing the situation like this, Sapo and the others couldn't keep their faces calm, and even Yuriko, who was the most indifferent, didn't say a word about "revenge", but stayed alone on the beach for a long time, not knowing what they were thinking, and they didn't want to talk to other people. It is worth mentioning that Kihara and his three disciples were actually overloaded with training throughout the day, according to their words, "sweating more on the training ground and leaving less blood on the battlefield." ”
At this point, it finally came to a perfect end.
"yes, whatever you want." Ace already knew this answer in his heart, and he didn't explain much, just stretched out his right fist, "Looking forward to our next meeting, but until then······ You must give me a good life, do you hear me! ”
Sabo smiled and didn't say a word, just stretched out his fist and touched Ace in the air.
"Use your own power to protect the people you should protect!"
As the shadow of the Golden Noah faded from the surface of the sea, Sabo muttered softly where only one could hear him.
"Ace's life has taught me this, no matter how strong or weak you are, as long as you have a sense of wanting to protect others, you can do it!"
In front of him, maybe he will always have to be a younger brother.
······
"Fifty years ago, because the swordsman of Heguo Ryoma beheaded a flying dragon, it provoked the anger of the dragon clan in the depths of the great route, and then launched a large-scale attack on the country of Red Lotus Island, which led to the destruction of the country and the country of He, and the people did not survive, and most of the rest were left behind.
"Then it happened that twenty years ago, Arkham, a former researcher at the Naval Academy of Sciences, tried to develop ancient weapons, but he didn't want to be stopped by One Piece Roger, not only all the research results were wasted, but even the design drawings were burned, and there was such a big disaster, and the world government was angry at the same time, naturally it had to find someone to carry the black cauldron, and Arkham naturally became the best choice······
Then in order to take revenge on One Piece, in order to take revenge on the navy and the government, Arkham quietly came to an island alone, and this island happened to be ······ One is for the restoration of the country, the other is for revenge, the two sides hit it off, and then agreed with the country that Arkham used their land resources for research and development, and even handed over the child who got the dragon fruit to help Arkham conduct experiments, and the price was naturally that Arkham had to help them return to the country. ”
"It's a pity that Arkham has obtained certain results, and his attitude towards the side of the country has become worse and worse, and from time to time he has asked them to provide him with human bodies for experiments, and even has the intention of unilaterally tearing up the contract.
"I'm going to give Arkham a warning, or to blackmail the other party with Xiao Luotai, they sent the only remaining ninja faction in the country to steal the necessary materials for the experiment, Luotai, but unfortunately, I was unlucky, and I met you guys, which can be regarded as fate."
"All in all, that's all there is to it." Lilith closed the folding fan and breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes swept over the people who were frozen in place, and the corners of her lips showed a slight curl of satisfaction.
"How can I say it······" Grace picked up the sunglasses that had long since been dropped.
"Incredible."
"It's a coincidence of fate, yo ho ho ······"
"Then there's a question······ Hundreds of fake treasure maps. "On the bow of the Golden Noah, Ace stood up.
"That's right, it's the fake treasure map you said, I don't understand this." More than one person present nodded, thinking that they had made countless speculations before, but they still couldn't come up with an answer.
"Maybe they're desperate to die with Arkham, and that makes sense for that little ghost."
"You're saying they thought that such a move would anger Arkham, so they simply slapped it in half, and put all the bets on Xiao Luotai." Yuna secretly analyzes the truth of this, but the more she thinks about it, the more likely it becomes.
Once the treasure map spreads all over the New World, whether it is true or not, everyone in the New World will focus on Red Lotus Island, and at that time Arkham will no longer have a place to hide, and when his true face is revealed, someone will naturally come to clean him up, whether it is the navy or the government.
And if all this fails, they can only pour all their hopes into Xiao Luotai, who has the dragon fruit, and help him escape from Red Lotus Island on the one hand, and gather all the pirates in the New World to continue to kill each other, and keep making things bigger until they recruit the Four Emperors.
Thinking of this, Yuna's heart was dripping with cold sweat. People who don't want to make peace with the country have such vicious scheming.
"But how do they provoke a war? Most of the dead are themselves! ”
"Because they feel that such a death is valuable, and this kind of death will be conducive to the evolution of the result, so they have no scruples to die."
This was Lilith's answer, perhaps quite different from her initial assumptions, so she was also a little silent after knowing the result, and everyone was silent, with different expressions.
"By the way, Captain, and this kid······" Cones picked up little Lotus, with a happy and slightly hesitant look on her face, "Let's give this child a name." ”
"It's also said that it's not good to always be called Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo, and he should have a name of his own." It's about Xiao Luotai, and Yuna naturally agrees.
"What's it called?" Grace thought as everyone frowned.
"Little Raab." It was Brooke who said this, and it seemed that he was thinking of the whale.
"No, since it's a child of our pirates, of course we have to have an imposing name, then Severn, Jack, Tyro, Leo, Membius, Tiga, ······"
"No, it's so ugly, how about I call Chris?"
"Ichigo!"
"Naruto!"
"Sa······ As soon as he spoke, he was forced back by everyone's fierce eyes.
"No one needs to fight anymore, I've already decided." Ace stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the sun in the sky, and said slowly, "Since he is the hope of all the people in the country, then give him the name of the son of hope." ”
"It's Natsu······ Portkas D. Natsu – Son of Hope! ”
