"You're finally on Tata Island!" Lukka finally got to know what he knew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What?" Captain Marlowe thought it shouldn't be news that he was on Tata Island, and didn't understand why Luca was so excited.
"I've read your information on Tata Island," Luca proudly revealed the information he had received from Leon not long ago, "it says that you were the captain of the Sage from 1444 to 1453, and retired to the Senate in '53, which is not true to what you said." ”
"Those are just words, and words, a lot of the time, are unreliable. Marlowe lowered his head, lost in memory again.
In a hoarse voice, he continued: "I came to Tata Island, and as soon as I came ashore, I was greeted by someone. ”
"It's not going to be a dirty guy, is it?" Lukka recalls the first person he met on Tata Island.
Marlowe's reply was calm and uninteresting: "No. ”
"It was the Senate who found me. They called me Captain Marlowe and took me into the Senate. There I found that all the written materials were impeccable, and it seemed that I had been calling this name that I had never heard of before, and that I had robbed countless merchant ships on the Sage. ”
"Looking at the information, even I sometimes believe it so deeply that I forget that I once had another name: Matt Grande. ”
"Ever since I arrived on Tata Island, the box of silence has suddenly fallen silent, and there are no more annoying voices echoing in my head. ”
"It's just that I still try to get rid of it from time to time, and every time I try, I take it out in the hope that some hapless pirate will be targeted by it, but every time I throw it into the sea, no one can catch it. When the trial is over, it will appear at my bedside again. ”
"Until you fished it up. ”
Lukka hurriedly waved his hand: "Actually, it's not me who fished it up, it's Daniel." ”
Marlowe replied, "What's the difference? The crew represents you, the captain." ”
"A month after you became a Pirate Lord, the Box of Silence uttered a second sentence that I understood. ”
"'Give it to him,' it said. The voice was indistinct in my head, and it took me a long time to figure it out, and it was trying to get me to give it to you. ”
"At that time you have already gone to sea, and I can only wait until you return to the sea before I will deliver it to you. ”
"After you left again, I also left Tata Island by boat. If it weren't for that box, I would have fed the fish at the bottom of the sea, and now that it's in your hands, I don't know how long the life I stole will last, and I want to take a good look at the sea while I still have time. ”
"What I didn't expect was that not long ago, even though the box of silence was not with me, I heard that voice, and it asked me to bring you a message. ”
"'Let him go back to the sail port, the sunset express is invited. These are its exact words. ”
Lukka suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Sunset Express? I happened to be going to ask them about something." ”
A whistle suddenly sounded in the direction of the dock, and Taylor, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.
"His word has been brought to me, Captain Lester," he said, "and now you can hand over to me this criminal who murdered my father?"
Lukka glanced out the porthole to see that hundreds of Union soldiers had surrounded the docks.
"I say, how can you be so quiet, Archon Taylor," Lukka shook his head, "it turns out that you sent those two retinues to bring the rescuers. But do you really think that these hundreds of soldiers can deal with me?"
Taylor's face was gloomy: "I never wanted to be your enemy, my goal is him." I now kindly ask you to grant me this murderer. ”
Lukka replied categorically, "No." ”
"Please think about it carefully, in this matter, even if I break with the pirates of the entire Sunset Islands, I will not budge!" Taylor was also determined.
"I'm a pirate lord, and he's still a member of the Senate, as for murder or something, I'm afraid there are not a few people on Tata Island who are charged with this crime, I handed it over to you, what kind of pirate lord is it?" Lukka said, already picking up the Amethyst Staff in his right hand.
"Can I say a few more words?" Captain Marlow walked between the two of them.
"Say!" said Lukka and Taylor at the same time, and they didn't disagree on it.
Marlowe looked at the shining blades in the hands of the soldiers outside the window, and said slowly:
"As I said earlier, I can still hear that voice after you take the box of silence. That's when I realized that it wasn't the box that had been talking to me, it was this. ”
He raised his left hand again.
"yes, you can't shake off that box after you put this ring on. You didn't even think to throw the ring away?" Lukka asked, staring at the brown metal ring.
"I've tried so many times, I've even done this kind of thing like cutting off my finger, but it doesn't work, every time I wake up, whether it's the severed finger or the ring, it will come back intact. Marlowe said.
"What's the use of that, do you want me to help you take this thing off?" said Luca as he grabbed Captain Marlowe's fingers and pinched the ring.
Without any resistance, the ring faded smoothly as if it had just been put on, and fell into the palm of his hand.
"This ......" Lukka held up the rusty ring to the sun, not knowing what to say.
"Don't put it on!" "Don't wear it!"
His crew immediately screamed at the same time, this thing sounded too dangerous.
"Are you stupid to me?" said Luca, pulling the money pouch out of his pocket, pouring out the silver coins inside, and throwing the ring in.
Captain Marlowe's hoarse voice reached his ears again: "Finally...... Relieved. ”
Lukka jerked his head back, and Captain Marlowe's face instantly grew older, and a blood stain oozed from his chest clothes.
"It was the first time I was slashed that year. Marlowe whispered as he looked at the growing blood on his right chest.
Then another blood stain appeared on the right side of the abdomen.
"This is the second cut. His voice grew lower.
Ten minutes later, the last wound was on his heart, and Captain Marlowe exhaled the last breath that should have been cut off.
Taylor crouched down to confirm Marlowe's body, sighed and said, "If this is solved, I can accept it." ”
After saying that, he left the Fat Man without looking back, leaving Lukka with the money bag containing the ring and staring at the corpse in a daze.
"Isn't this his death at my hands?" Lukka whispered.
