Chapter 29: The Right Choice

Seeing that these prisoners had different names written on them, Ling Chen also smiled coldly, "It's all written, now tell me who you wrote and why, remember, you only have one chance, you must tell the truth." ā€

"Kami-sama, I'm writing about myself, I'm the number one in our pirate group in terms of bounty and combat ability, as long as Kami-sama takes me out of this extremely cold hell, I'll definitely help you."

"Lord God, what I wrote is also myself, I am the swordsman of our pirate map, and I was also a famous swordsman in the New World, with the blessing of you, Lord God, even if I go to challenge the 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk of the Seven Martial Seas under the king, I am confident that I will defeat him!"

"Lord God, I am writing about myself, although my combat ability is not the strongest in our pirate group, but I am a ship doctor, if those believers who believe in God and your followers are injured in the future, I can give my strength to you, Lord God."

"Kami-sama, I can ......"

"Kami-sama, I'm ......"

……

After listening to the words of these prisoners, Ling Chen's face became ugly, and he said in a tone without a trace of emotion: "It seems that I overestimated you, I originally thought that at least half of you would be able to meet my requirements, but now it seems that only three of you are still satisfactory to me!" ā€

......After hearing Ling Chen's words, these prisoners held their breath, their hearts were both curious and nervous, after all, there were only three places, so it was destined that most of them were not selected, and the places that could escape from hell to heaven this time fell on which three lucky ones.

"The people who can come with me this time are you, you, and you!" Ling Chen didn't apprehension these prisoners, and directly pointed to the three prisoners who were very thin. Said the prisoner, who looked apparently weak in battle.

"I ......"

"No......"

"Uh...... Gods, did you choose me? ā€

For this Ling Chen, he chose himself. The three prisoners were stunned, they were the only ones in the cage who didn't have their names written on them. Instead, he wrote the name of the companion who was dying or turned into an ice sculpture in the cage, hoping that Ling Chen could save his companion once.

"Lord Kami...... They...... They didn't write their names, and their strength is not strong, they will definitely not be able to help you in the future, so they don't deserve to let you take them! At this moment, the rest of the prisoners in the cage were also quite puzzled by Ling Chen's choice, and several of them even had the courage to question Ling Chen. After all, compared to the three people selected by Ling Chen, they were far stronger than them in terms of combat ability and self-confidence, and they couldn't accept Ling Chen's choice this time.

"Nope. Only they deserve to be taken away from me, because they are the only ones who have the strength to help me. Ling Chen looked at these dissatisfied prisoners and said coldly, "The reason why I asked you to use the former pirate group as a unit and then make a choice is not to let you give who is the strongest in your pirate group, but to see if you understand the meaning of companionship." ā€

"The meaning of companion ......" For Ling Chen's words, the prisoners in the cage were a little puzzled.

"You used to be companions of a pirate group, you went through many life-and-death battles, and you were captured by the navy in this extremely cold hell and then you were cellmates in the same cell. It stands to reason that your relationship should be the best, one where you can trust each other to give your back to someone else, but you didn't. Ling Chen explained coldly: "Spirit is the core of the team, everything else is empty." Even if you have strong individual strength, you don't understand team spirit and the meaning of companionship. You've been eliminated. It's not that I've given up on you, it's that you've given up on yourself from the beginning. ā€

"......" Ling Chen's words. It was like a slap in the face of these prisoners who were still in prison, even in the extreme cold of hell. I also felt that my face was hot, and I was embarrassed to face Ling Chen, and I had no face to face my companions around me.

"Okay, you who have understood the meaning of companionship, come out!" Ling Chen immediately released a large amount of blood silk, first restrained everyone except the three prisoners, and then opened the door of the cage to let the three prisoners leave.

"Thank you, Lord God, but my companion ......" The three prisoners were also very grateful to Ling Chen for choosing their hearts, but when they left, they still glanced at their companion who had almost turned into an ice sculpture and asked Ling Chen, although they knew that their companion was now dead, but thinking of Ling Chen's previous magic skill (light yƬ dispelled the cold of a prisoner), they still asked him carefully.

"They're dead, there's nothing I can do, so mourn!" Ling Chen was very satisfied with the questioning of these prisoners, because this behavior just proved that he did not choose the wrong person, these three prisoners were all quite affectionate and righteous, this is the reason why he chose them, and only with their character, Ling Chen could rest assured that they would join his camp, otherwise even if these prisoners who were originally pirates were released, it was estimated that they would not be completely controlled by him, and it would be endless trouble to stab themselves in the back at a critical moment.

"Yes...... Lord Kamikai...... I want to ......"

"Take your companions with you, and find a good place in the forest ahead to bury them later." Looking at the embarrassed looks of the three prisoners, Ling Chen guessed what they were going to say, and immediately did not object, agreeing that they would take their dead companions away.

"Thank you, Lady Gods!" The three prisoners immediately carried their companions, who had become ice sculptures, out of the cages.

And those prisoners who were restrained by Ling Chen's blood silk and couldn't move, they were also quite unwilling to see the opportunity to regain their lives just like this, but now their bodies were bound by blood silk, and they could only look at Ling Chen and beg again.

"As I said, it's not that I gave up on you, it's that you yourself gave up on yourself from the beginning, and you continue to stay here, remember your sins, and when you really understand, you will have a chance to regain your freedom!" Looking at the group of prisoners who were pleading with him, Ling Chen also responded coldly. He understands the prisoners' desire to regain their freedom, but he can't agree with their approach, thinking that Luffy will come to make a big fuss about the city according to the original plot development in the near future, so he also made a small spoiler for them, as if it was to give them the last hope.

"Yes, obey the oracle......" Hearing Ling Chen's words, these prisoners only nodded in agreement, and began to interrogate their hearts for the first time...... (To be continued......)
