Chapter 57: The Death of the Golden Lion
(I'm guilty······ I repent······ Xiao San admits that he has recently become obsessed with infinite fandom, especially the book "Infinite Remnant Story", which is very good-looking, especially when the protagonist's team is forced to enter the punishment plot, and the part where the memory and bloodline ability are sealed by the main god, is really thrilling······ cough cough cough, back to the topic, otherwise it will be said that it is a word fraud······ Well, let's treat it as an advertisement for your favorite book! )
"Al?"
The people who walked into the cabin saw a picture they had never thought of before, and Arna in the crowd couldn't cry silently.
"Bastard!"
Marco was furious, and regardless of the relationship between Al and Ace, he pressed him to the floor with an arrow, and Jos caught Al by the way.
"Uncle Siqi, Uncle Siqi..." Marco carefully pulled out the sharp knife from Sick's heart and pressed his hand against the terrible wound, "Doctor, go and call the doctor!" At this moment, Marko's heart was full of remorse, his carelessness and negligence had put the golden lion in such a huge crisis.
"It's useless..." Al smiled slyly, "It's stained with the poison I carefully concocted, and no one can save him..."
Seeing that the situation had become so uncontrollable, everyone present panicked, and Arna shook her head and cried while grabbing Al, but the latter's expression was still the same... Pleasure, the pleasure after revenge.
"Bonnie, please." Seeing that the golden lion was dying, Ace set her eyes on Bonnie beside her, hoping that she could use her time ability to alleviate the golden lion's crisis.
However...
Bonnie shook her head, quietly walked to Arna's side, and said with a wry smile, "This is the bitter fruit he planted early in the morning, killing people to pay for their lives, it is justified, maybe I am sorry for the golden lion for doing this... And you, but, is your approach worthy of the two Al siblings? ”
Hopeful, Eston was stunned, how could he stop Al's revenge? At first, he just wanted to rescue the two of them, and then sit down calmly to talk, but... It's beyond my power to get to this point.
Looking at Al's gaze at this time, Ace's heart was filled with bitterness, and sure enough, he once again hurt the people around him, whether it was Al or the golden lion, he had different emotions, on the one hand, he was a poor two sisters and brothers who were lonely, and on the other hand, he was his teacher.
The golden lion is indeed not a good person, he can even see the insidious and ruthless of the golden lion even if he kills the Al family for his own selfish desires, but it is such a person who puts aside his hatred, carefully cultivates Ace, and does not hesitate to teach him all his skills.
The real hero, Ace commented on the golden lion.
"Hmm······" At this time, the golden lion woke up slowly, and the voice coming from his throat was very hoarse, "Ace..." The golden lion's undamaged left hand pulled Laace's shirt, but the force from his hand was so weak.
"Uncle Sick..." Without waiting for Ace to speak, Marco preemptively shouted the name of the golden lion, hoping that the other party would stay awake.
The golden lion waved his hand and motioned for Marco to remain silent.
"Navy Headquarters... How's it going? I feel it, the 'Yan Emperor' trick you've been experimenting with before, hehe, it's really a great trick..."
Even if the golden lion can still speak fluently, everyone present understands that this is just a return to the light.
"Ah, most of them have been ruined by me, and in two or three years, they will not be able to recover." Perhaps sensing the loss of the golden lion's vitality, Ace's voice also became low.
Hearing Ace's words, the golden lion's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hahaha, good job, good job..." Father's debt is paid by the son, they finally taste this kind of taste, hahahaha... cough cough cough · Ahem, ahem..."
"Uncle Siqi, stop talking, let's rest again." Seeing the blood constantly flowing from the corners of the golden lion's mouth, Marco and Ace shouted in unison, and the former also glanced at Ace inexplicably, as if he had heard something unbelievable from the golden lion's words just now.
At the same time, Al who heard this, looked at Ace's eyes and became hideous, and a fierce look of hatred flashed on his face, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally returned to gray.
"It's okay, Lao Tzu is a man called a lion, I don't care about such a small injury... Ahem, ahem..." The golden lion still has a hard mouth, but looking at his appearance, it seems that there is really no pain or anger, but there is still a trace of it... Extrication?
Ignoring Marco and Ace's obstruction, the golden lion propped up the ground with his only left hand, stood up and walked slowly to where Al was.
Seeing the golden lion coming this way, Bonnie dodged and protected Al and Arna behind her, a pretty face instantly turned pale, and Yuna on the side saw her good sister make such a dangerous move, and quickly came to the golden lion, even so, she couldn't hide her trembling body, and looked at Ace with a pleading look.
Seeing that Bonnie and Yuna might be attacked by the golden lion, Ace couldn't sit still, and even ignored Marco's eye dissuasion, and came directly to the middle of the two.
"Ahem, ahem... Ace, you're such a failure as a captain, what are you doing with the crew who don't share your heart? If you continue like this, maybe one day you will be betrayed by them in turn, this kind of thing, the old man has seen too much, so let's follow the old man's approach. The golden lion looked at the disciple standing in front of him with a look of hatred, but he thought about him.
"That kind of thing..." Ace lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly, "It doesn't matter at all. ”
"What?" The golden lion looked stunned.
"The so-called captain is the first person to stand up when his companions are hurt, and if everyone acts according to one person's thoughts, then what's the point of living?"
At this time, Bonnie Yona, Morgan, and Grace behind Ace, along with Al and Arna behind Bonnie, and even Marco and Jos, all looked incredulous.
"You..." The golden lion was stunned by Ace's declaration, and then laughed wildly, "Well said, well said, it is really worthy of being 'his' son, and he actually taught the old man a lesson, hahahaha..."
Everyone was silent, they didn't have any qualifications to evaluate Ace and the golden lion, and they couldn't understand the bond between the two.
"Al···" The golden lion pushed Ace away and walked forward slowly.
"Don't worry, I don't have any extra strength, even if I want to kill him, I can't kill him..." Seeing that everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, the golden lion smiled.
Later, under the signal of Ace's eyes, everyone gradually separated into a way, but Bonnie still stubbornly stood in place, but the golden lion didn't seem to see her.
"What's the matter?" Gently pushed away Bonnie who was standing in front of him, ignoring the former's threatening eyes, and went straight to the eyes of the golden lion, perhaps very confident in his poison, or perhaps... Don't care about your life or death anymore?
The golden lion put his hand on Al's shoulders and sat down slowly under the frightened eyes of everyone.
"Hate me?"
"Hmm."
"It's painful."
Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Al's eyes, "It's okay, I won't feel like this soon..."
"Really?" The golden lion closed his eyes and seemed to be caught in a memory, "Yes, it's painful and cruel, because that's how I've come all the way." ”
“?” Al's pupils shrank, and then he covered it up well, "So what? ”
Ignoring the resentment in Al's tone, the golden lion was completely immersed in his own world, "I was just born, I didn't have parents, why, I don't know, it seems that I didn't have a family in my life from the beginning..."
"In order to make a living, I have done everything, doing coolies, fighting wild dogs for food, it is all commonplace..."
"Later, as I grew up, I gradually saw the world clearly, what is right, what is evil, but it is just the lies of hypocrites. Only power, only power is eternal, and then, I became stronger and stronger, feared and respected... Lived under the name of 'Lion'. ”
The golden lion's voice was very hoarse, but everyone was still carried into that dark memory by his words.
"But I'm getting more and more empty, because there is no one who can make me feel good, they are all my defeated men... Until, that man comes..."
Ace thought to himself, "This should be my cheap dad..."
Sure enough, the Golden Lion continued, "He's just an ordinary person, neither a Devil Fruit ability nor a giant bloodline, but he still defeated me. Although I am very unwilling, but... But suddenly I became happy. ”
"He told me that all his companions were his family, and if he wanted to hurt them, he would not have to step on his corpse, huh, how confident was he? But then, I still lost..."
"'What's the point of being a pirate if you can't live your way?' It's infuriating that guy keeps putting this on his lips, but I can still feel that I'm jealous..."
No one interrupted the golden lion's words, not so much that the golden lion was talking, but that he was venting.
"He was caught, he was caught!! This is absolutely impossible, it must be fabricated, how could a person like him be caught by that group of waste in the navy? So I immediately ran to the Navy headquarters, I wanted to seek justice for him, this must be the Navy slandering him!! ”
"As a result... Failed. I don't have enough power, yes, I need to get more power..."
Almost everyone present knew about the golden lion's past, but now listening to him say it in person, it was a different feeling. Men's friendship? It's incomprehensible.
"So what?" Al gritted his teeth and roared, "Can you kill my family just for this?" What do you think of human life? Is it child's play? Don't think that this can be an excuse for you to commit sin, you deserve it! ”
"Yes, it's because people have hope that they move forward, even if they choose the wrong path. It's better than having no choice! ”
"Al···" The golden lion's head rested quietly on Al's shoulder, "I don't want you to forgive me, I just want to tell you, no matter what, don't change yourself because of others, the so-called dreams will vary from person to person, but there is absolutely no good or evil!" ”
"And..." The Golden Lion set his eyes on Bonnie, "At first, I also beat your idea, but then, I gave up... You know why? Because you have a captain who won't give up on you no matter what, you... Very lucky. ”
"Ace..." The golden lion called softly at this time.
"Siqi... Teacher..." Ace's body began to tremble involuntarily, but his feet couldn't move.
"There's a saying, I forgot to tell you, it's 'he' used to say it······"
The golden lion's voice gradually became quieter, and the body lying on Al's shoulder no longer trembled... The golden lion, eyes closed.
Al's eyes were soaked with tears, who was he crying for? Yourself?
Ace's right hand pressed the hat on his head, but tears flowed down very uncontrollably...
- If I don't have a sword in my hand, I can't protect you.
If I keep my sword in my hand, I won't be able to hold you tight.
