Chapter 162: The Big Events of the Year
"Wang!"
Thor stood on Karn's shoulder depressedly and asked, "Lord Karn, aren't we here to subdue Barrett?" But why hasn't things been done yet? Hasn't this been done for so long? ”
"It didn't work in vain."
Karn lay on the railing.
Looking at the resources of a dozen large cargo ships.
Looking at the people who have grown up through experience and reflection.
Look at the islands that have gradually changed in the distance.
I think of Barrett, who collapsed his faith and chose freedom again.
I think of the scene of civilians cheering on the island where the war stopped.
Thinking of the execution table, the nobles, the royal family, and the superior have ugly and deserved endings.
They worked for nothing for a long time?
Karn didn't think so.
From the start, he wasn't entirely sure of taking Barrett.
Kaido has also relied on his actions and the way he changed the world over the years, so that this hot-blooded stunned young man can see the results, and slowly return to obedience, until he offers his loyalty.
It is not a simple matter to subdue a real hero.
After Kaido's fight with Barrett, Karn drank with Kaido for a long time, and had a heart-to-heart exchange with his first general, exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
Even Katakuri, who has been raised since childhood, can't be taken care of casually, or think that it is simply his own thing, Karn really treats Katakuri as a younger brother.
Needless to say, the tacit understanding between the two of them is no longer necessary.
Abel's potential is worse than Kaido's, Katakuri, but it is also the cause and effect that he planted from the Valley of the Gods, and the fruit that he has borne through these years of sincerity, so that he has the psychology of dependence, and is willing to call himself a brother from the heart.
Everyone with a strong heart will not change their beliefs so easily, but you have to really exchange their sincerity for them, and they will put their sincerity in your hands.
Of course, there is a premise for all this, you must have strong strength, potential, ability, and personal charm.
Otherwise, it's not a level of people.
Your sincerity will be worthless.
"Barrett, a monster with a strong heart, must first defeat his beliefs and bind him with another faith."
Karn, with his white hair, smiling happily in the wind, "Your Lord Karn, I've been a complete bad guy this time, and I don't know if we have a chance to subdue Barrett in the future, but anyway, compared to other forces, we have the best chance." ”
Thor frowned.
Take a small hammer and tickle yourself.
It didn't know if it should tell Master Karn that Mistress Lena had approached Barrett...... That guy who looks like a 'ghost' doesn't want to get close to it, I really don't know what Lena-sama thinks?
Why don't you tell Master Karn?
Lord Karn cared most about the safety of Lord Lena, and would never let his sister approach Barrett in such a dangerous state, and even warned everyone during that time.
It would be very dangerous to say that Barrett had not yet come out of his inner world, and no one was allowed to approach him.
After all, I still didn't look at Lena-sama.
Thor spoke up about it.
Karn was stunned on the spot.
During that time, he had been communicating with Kaido, Katakuri, Abel and others, or to change that continent, those countries, and he didn't pay much attention to Lena, because this sister was very reassuring to himself.
Karn's face shifted.
Using the fruit ability to sense Lena's emotions on the ship, I can't help but be infected by the cheerful emotions.
Karn said with a gentle look in his eyes, "My sister, she has grown up~"
People with good hearts are attracted to each other.
People with unique personalities are also attracted to each other.
The strong will appreciate each other.
Only selfish people are absolutely no really good people who are willing to come into contact with them.
"Lord Karn, are those Crusaders too weak?"
"It's because I'm too weak that I chose to feed one of them a Devil Fruit, which can be regarded as an investment."
Karn sensed a gap between himself and his powerless self.
How much has changed.
Things that I wasn't interested in doing are getting better and better,
"If Barrett really joins us in the future, let alone a few Devil Fruits, I can pay the price of a hundred Devil Fruits."
Thor agreed, "Lord Karn, that monster named Barrett is incredibly powerful in the flesh, and I have never seen such a terrifying existence in the flesh except for Kaido.
Our fur clan does not have a strong person with this potential at all, but our fur clan members all have a certain combat ability, and the fighting race talent that comes with them from birth, the gap between the races is still quite large. ”
Thor fumbled with his little hammer, and if it weren't for such a powerful talent, it wouldn't be alive now.
This world and this era make it no longer so simple.
Karn looked at the sea, his eyes deep, and said, "The most important thing for us intelligent beings is to think and learn, do you think there are many strange things in this world?" ”
Thor wondered, "Lord Karn, what are you talking about?" ”
"People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden."
"Thor, pure kindness will really be bullied in this abnormal world, and the powerful kindness, they will attack with words first, see if the other party reacts, and if there is no reaction, it will be transformed into action and violence."
"Kindness without strength will end up worse, and some kindness with strength will choose to do evil things and vent with their own strength, but those who can bully you will have soft bones, they will be afraid, they will be afraid of ......"
"This kind of thing will cause strange feelings in the hearts of good people, they will question what they have done, question the good thoughts in their hearts, and think that what they have done is wrong."
“……”
Thor was dumbfounded.
I touched my dog's head.
It wondered if Master Karn could see his past?
How can you say it so accurately?
Thor used to be a very simple and kind Shiba Inu.
Leave the fur tribe and come to the sea.
I will always help others when I see injustice, I don't know how much I have suffered, and the people who have been helped do not know how to be grateful.
Racism, verbal abuse, and even more exploiting it.
Thor rarely met good people in the process, and most of the good people became victims of this era, becoming corpses.
For a long time, Thor's heart was tormented.
This torment came when it was betrayed once, and even the kind human grandmother who had been wandering with her died in front of it.
At that moment, reason turned into crazy killing intent.
Its bottom line shattered.
Thor can't remember the day.
It only remembers that it has killed many, many people, and that it will often wake up in nightmares in the days to come.
When encountering strangers, they will be vigilant, jealous, suspicious, and even have murderous intent.
Encounter unfairness, encounter unequal, encounter sin.
As long as it has nothing to do with yourself.
It watched coldly, and occasionally subconsciously sketched a sneering and mocking smile at the corners of its mouth.
There was even an urge to join them.
During that time, Thor seemed to be very free, but his heart was even more tormented.
I couldn't see the future, and I began to gradually question all the good things I had done.
Slowly walk down another path.
Until he met Lena.
It reminds Thor of his grandmother who took care of himself for a while on the sea, and they both have hearts of gold.
"Thor, do you think about your past?"
Karn touched the dog's head, interrupting its recollection, "Good and evil are like rulers, each person has different lengths, and the scale that needs to be measured is also different, you have to grasp the scale of good and evil in your heart.
But I firmly believe that good beings attract each other, and those of us who have evil in our hearts are also attracted to goodness. ”
Those who like to destroy the good are not envious, jealous and hateful, but simply because they can't do it, they want to destroy.
The same is an attraction.
A disgusting attraction.
Karn couldn't do that perverted evil.
He has his own measure of good and evil in his heart.
Not extreme evil, nor excessive good.
For Lena, who balances the scale of good and evil, no one likes it more than him.
own younger siblings.
But there are a lot of people in the world.
Thor looked adoring, and said secretly in his heart: "Lord Karn, is this what you want me to do to find the measure of good and evil by myself?" I'll definitely find it! ”
Karn smiled.
He didn't think he was fit to be a teacher, nor was he a qualified teacher.
He doesn't teach others how to do it.
He will only guide others in the right way.
About Barrett is a rather extreme boot.
Shatter the faith of a warrior once and for all.
If it is not broken, it will not stand.
All these years, Kahn had been on an observant approach.
Unless the core members, someone is caught in extreme good and evil, he will not insert their own experience, their growth.
In this way, they will have enough room to grow, instead of being obsessed with everyone under the influence of his butterfly effect.
Not for a while.
Lena came to Karn's side, picked up his position, and leaned on the railing.
"Brother, I have learned a lot over the years, changed a lot of people, changed a lot of countries, and seen so many changes that I can't even imagine in my dreams.
But I have a doubt, is the freedom and equality that Kaido pursues, the freedom and equality that we aspire to, really exist? ”
"There is no absolute equality in this world, all people are not equal, what we pursue is relative equality, and what we pursue is a better world than the current world."
Karn took on his part, last with Kaido, this time with Lena.
"Brother, what we have done has changed a lot, but it has also taken many lives, do we have the right to decide the fate of innocent people who may be implicated in the future?"
Lena's question was close to a false proposition, giving Karn a temporary silence.
About ten seconds later.
"We do not have the right to decide the fate of innocent people who may be implicated, but in the face of the general trend of the times, we are all people who follow the trend.
We can't doubt our own path, even if we don't believe in our own path, then no one can save the world.
It's okay to think about the changes in the Drum Magnet Kingdom, our goal is to make the sea like that. ”
Karn was afraid that Lena would continue to speak, so he silenced him again, and plugged it with an orange first.
Then he said:
"Only when we are strong enough can we have the qualifications to control our destiny and the ability to change the world. Necessary sacrifices are essential, and anyone can sacrifice in the process of changing the world. ”
You are not included.
"Brother, that's why you set up the Eight Divisions of Cangsheng and the Shura Expedition Division."
Lena ate all the oranges and was reluctant to vomit the cores, and the peeled oranges were put into her purse.
In the future, you can also make tea in the sun.
Karn unleashed his abilities and began his feeding journey.
Recently, he was fed by the ultra-skilled Rahe, who has gotten even more technical.
"Changing the world is not just about inviting guests to dinner, if you don't have enough strength, what qualifications do you have to invite you to dinner with powerful people?"
“……”
The two are communicating.
Someone arrived with a sense of relief.
"Oh ~ giggle! Karn was right! ”
Kaido is willing to throw up his hands and feet and agree with this view.
"Damn!"
Katakuri grabbed Kaido, "You give me to the back of the line, this time is my sister, and it won't be your turn next." ”
Kaido was speechless.
This little kid is so annoying, and he's been annoying since the Rocks Pirates.
Now that he is going to fight two or two, he may not be able to beat Katakuri and Abel together.
But Kaido is in a good mood, and Barrett breaks his fate, as if he himself is relieved of his past experiences.
In the future, they will definitely encounter the sea again.
Hopefully that day you will be strong.
I'm looking forward to it.
Barrett......
Everyone left room for the brother and sister.
"Brother, there are some very normal news coming from my eyes in the Navy Headquarters, but I have carefully observed and found that the personnel changes near Zefa's family in the Navy Headquarters are a bit strange."
"Lena, what's so strange?"
"That's it...... It was just a few residents who had not moved for many years who suddenly moved away, and it just formed the most perfect hunting triangle, which made me suspicious. ”
“……”
Karn had long been surprised by this, as Zefa was an admiral and his family lived near the Navy's headquarters.
It is known as one of the safest places in the world.
In the end, the end result was that the family members were killed by the pirates, what pirates have the ability to infiltrate the Navy Headquarters and secretly kill the family members of the Admiral?
This reminded him of the royal poisoning in Alabastan.
"Lena, if you really can't do it, you will secretly hint at Zefa, with Zefa's character of being gracious and repaying it, and you will not expose the people you worked so hard to insert."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, I like Zefa's wife, it's beautiful and kind."
“……”
It's thanks to his sister that he said this.
If only Katakuri had spoken out.
Karn might have suspected that his brother liked someone else's daughter-in-law.
"Brother, there's been a big thing on the sea recently."
"A lot of things happen every year, and in recent years, it's nothing more than the big news that there are sea pirates in the New World."
"You guessed wrong, it was the Celestial Dragons who were killed."
"The ......," Karn took back the swear words he wanted to say in time, "the Draconians still dare to run around?" ”
The Valley of the Gods incident has not been swept under the rug.
There are quite a few Draconians who have died.
