Chapter 207: After the War
The retreat of the Blackbeard Pirates heralded the end of the battle that took place on the Flame Island.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates were victorious, they also sacrificed more than a dozen people for it.
Blackbeard's heart aches for the loss of a Lafitte, because that's the patriarch who was with him when he didn't start a family.
And the people sacrificed on Ace's side are even more so.
They can not leave after the decline of the Whitebeard Pirates, and share the prosperity of life and death, such a character is really commendable.
The loss of one is heart-wrenching, let alone a dozen.
It is gratifying to win the battle, but after the joy, the heart cannot help but be filled with sadness.
When Lu Gui came back, he felt that the atmosphere on the whole island was a little depressing, and Ace and Marco led people to collect the corpses of the sacrificed.
Buck didn't help this time, they just stood aside and watched silently.
"Lu Gui, I caught this person, the Lafitte you once mentioned."
Anne watched Lu Gui come over, remembered the person who was still trapped in the cloud and mud by her, and hurriedly said.
At the same time, he used his ability to pull Lafitte out of the clouds.
Lu Gui looked at Lafitte, who was in a coma, frowned and said:
"Kill and bury it."
"Wait, don't kill me!"
Hearing Lu Gui's words, Lafitte, who was still with his eyes closed just now, immediately woke up.
This guy got up from the ground, and when he saw the people around him, especially Lu Gui among them, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Not pretending?"
Lu Gui asked with a smile.
"Don't kill me, I never provoked you, and you used me when we met."
Lafitte took off the hat on her head, grabbed it hard, and said in a wailing voice.
"yes, I didn't have time to say thank you at the time."
"No, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that there is no hatred between us, you don't have to kill me.
If you don't want me to join Blackbeard's Pirates again, I can swear by it, or hand me over to the Navy. ”
Lafitte was very nervous, he hadn't lived enough and didn't want to die here like this.
"You're right, we really don't have a grudge against each other.
But this has nothing to do with whether you are killed or not, everyone is a pirate, adventuring on the same sea, if you are not a friend, you are naturally an enemy.
You know this better than I do, you're a senior.
So what is there to hesitate about to solve an enemy.
I'm a cheerful person, I don't like to torture or hang others, don't worry, if you die, I won't let you be exposed to the wilderness, I will set up a grave for you. ”
After Lu Gui finished speaking, he nodded to Anne and was about to leave here to find Ace and them.
"Wait, I know many of Blackbeard's secrets, can I trade this for a life?"
Lafitte continued to struggle to survive, thinking about the chips he had, and this might make Lu Gui's heart move.
He followed Blackbeard for a long time, but not out of heart, but out of great interest.
Now that his life is difficult to protect, it is naturally more important to give up Blackbeard first and save his life.
What's more, when they withdrew before, they didn't pay attention to him.
I don't know what expression Blackbeard would have on his face if he had known about it, and he thought that his loyal subordinate would have sold it with a turn of face.
"Do you know Blackbeard's secret?"
Lu Gui was a little surprised, he felt that a person like Blackbeard could trust everyone except him.
So he opened the pupil technique, stared into Lafitte's eyes, and quickly read his inner thoughts and secrets to tell.
"The secret you want to talk about is that Blackbeard's physique is different from ordinary people, and he doesn't need to sleep at all?"
"How do you know?"
Lafitte said with an ugly face.
"I still need you to tell me this, he has been in the Whitebeard Pirates before, and there are still people who know this."
Lu Gui turned around and prepared to continue walking away.
"Wait, please, I know his other secrets!"
Lafitte stood up to catch up, taking what seemed to him his only chance to live.
"Not only does he not need to rest, but he can steal the fruit of others; It can be used not only on yourself, but also on others. ”
Lu Gui said as he walked, and no longer continued to pay attention to Lafitte.
"Why do you know everything, why?"
Lafitte looked at Lu Gui's back in despair and muttered to herself.
And Anne reused her ability to wrap Lafitte whole. Dense clouds covered his mouth and nose, and he didn't continue to struggle.
Because, with his injured body now, it is impossible to escape without Lu Gui's permission.
After one last glance at the outside world, Lafitte fell into darkness and never saw the sun tomorrow again.
Lu Gui doesn't care about Lafitte's ending, this guy is also a bad thing, and it's not a pity to be killed.
He came to Ace and Marco, looked at them with heavy faces and groomed their sacrificial companions, sighed and did not speak.
After they were done, Ace apologized to Lu Gui on the side:
"I'm sorry Lu Gui, I made you wait for a long time."
"Between us, we don't have to be so polite.
They are willing to fight for the Whitebeard Pirates, and they will have no regrets if they die.
Let go of you, and they will rest in peace. ”
Lu Gui explained.
"Thank you! It's a bit of a mess here, so let's talk somewhere else. ”
Ace nodded, glanced at Marko, and then said.
"Well, let's go."
The three of them walked to a fairly flat high platform, where they sat and could see the busy figures of everyone below.
"Are these sacrifices buried here?"
Lu Gui asked.
"Well, you probably didn't know that the red-haired pirates brought Daddy's body a year ago and buried it here.
I don't know how he brought it out of the navy, the face is big enough.
At the same time, the kindness to our pirates is also greater.
We all said before that it is our greatest wish to be buried next to our father after death.
Also for this reason. Although this place is not beaten, we will still use this place as a base to guard here. ”
Marco said calmly.
"I really didn't know that the redhead had such great power, and you really have to thank him.
But it is estimated that he will not care about this, after all, with his friendship with Whitebeard, he is very willing to help with what he is capable of doing. ”
"Yes, the kindness is too heavy, and it is really difficult to repay, but there will always be a chance to repay it in the future.
Don't talk about that, do you have any plans for the future? Ace scratched his head and said.
"There's a treasure to look for, and the treasure map that Belle found has been shouting for a long time, saying that she wants to go over."
"Really? A treasure, she can bear not to go, it's really powerful. ”
Ace said with a smile.
"After the battle, your bounty will increase again, and it will increase dramatically.
After all, Blackbeard is now one of the Four Emperors of the New World, and being able to force him back also means that you also have the strength of an emperor.
Keep up your efforts, and you may soon become the new Emperor of the Seas! ”
Marco reminded.
"This is too exaggerated, I expected that the bounty would rise, but how could the position of the Four Emperors be so easy.
However, after this war, it seems that the alliance between us does not need to be specially promoted, and others should also know about it. ”
Lu Gui looked at the two and said.
"There's no need to publicize it, Blackbeard Teach, he doesn't have the strength to go against us again for a while, but he can be idle."
"What's more, Lu Gui also caught that Weibull, and no one should trouble us for no reason in the future."
Thinking that they would be much easier in the future, Ace and Marco were in a much better mood.
"Don't talk about him, I almost forgot, do you want to deal with him with your own hands?
I think there may be some big secrets about this person that I want to torture. ”
When Lu Gui heard Weibull's name, he remembered the guy he had tied up, and his fingers moved, and the Nebula Chain flew over with him.
Weibull was still unconscious, and Lu Gui's punch was not light.
"If you want to ask any secrets about him, take him away and ask.
Putting him in our hands was also a killing, and this madman also killed a few of our companions. ”
Marco said with disgusted look at Weibull.
"Well, I'll see through him what secrets I can find.
I'll share the news with you when the time comes. When you finish asking what you want to know, he will also hand it over to you to dispose of. ”
Lu Gui nodded and said.
"You don't have to tell us anything, we don't have the energy to be as laid-back as you now, and there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with."
Ace said enviously.
"Haha, we'll talk about it then.
Now Blackbeard's methods, you are also clear, Ace's strength is still steadily improving.
In my opinion, the crew members who were dispersed at the beginning could be appropriately re-recruited.
What do you think? ”
Lu Gui suggested with a smile.
"This is also a question that Marco and I have been thinking about before, and the Pirates really need to add some manpower.
Since even you think it's feasible, I'll let Joz take someone out and bring them back later. ”
"Well, there's no rush on this. Won the battle today, and his old friend Lu Gui was able to come over in time to help.
Put aside the unhappy things and get together in the evening.
Ace, you let people see what else to eat and drink on the island, and you must have a good time today. ”
Marco stood up and said to Ace.
"Then I'm not welcome, if the food is not delicious, and the wine is not delicious, I will curse people!"
Lu Gui got up and joked with a smile.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't give you this chance."
