Chapter 19: Are You the Devil?

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes.) )

……

"If ......"

"If I hadn't met that person, would everything still be the same as before?"

"I will continue to explore and travel the world freely and comfortably, bringing new things and things from the outside world back to the closed Fish-Man Island, without being treated as a lowly animal by the Draconians on Mary Joa, repeatedly tortured and destroyed, just to have some fun for them."

"I will repay King Neptune and Princess Otohime with gratitude, and I will not make a big fuss about Mary Joya and cause a heinous disaster, causing Fish-Man Island to be sanctioned by the world government."

"One day, I will get bored of exploring, or I am too old to face the wind and waves of the sea, return to Fish-Man Island to join the army guarding Fish-Man Island, and guide the little ones in Fish-Man Street not to go astray, and I will not involve my brothers to wander with me, avoiding and worrying about the pursuit of the world government and countless enemies."

"I'll ...... and not ......"

“……”

In the days when Mary Joya was enslaved, the days when he escaped slavery in the North Sea, the days he returned to Fish-Man Island, the days when the "Mary Joya Attack" broke out, the days when he was now on the run, and every day in the five years since he met that man, Fisher Tiger could not help but fantasize about the assumptions that sustained him through the most difficult days.

Right now.

The man reappeared, standing right in front of Tiger.

He was still smiling, just like that day five years ago, smiling lazily, sunny, chilling, unscrupulous, he had a beautiful skin like an angel, but he hid a monster-like dirty heart, his eyes looked at people without blinking, golden, and his pupils were erected, full of evil hideousness.

Thereupon.

A sense of foreboding enveloped Tiger again.

Tiger had thought that when he saw him again, his anger would even make him lose his mind and break his promise not to kill, and as a result, he did not dare to move, not to move.

"Surprised? Not surprised? Unhappy? Will strolls around like a cat in a corner, teasing rats to his heart's content, and ready to hunt them.

Tiger shuddered irrepressibly: "Human, are you the devil~"

"No, no, no!" Will shook his finger and said, "I must correct your mistakes, the fish-people are also a type of human!" Humans are the general term for intelligent beings in the world who walk upright, understand language communication, and are good at using tools, why do you fishmen always exclude yourself from the category of humans and are willing to be in the company of wild beasts? Are you looking down on yourselves? So you can't blame others for discriminating against you! You should call yourself a member of the minority race, and I am a member of the majority race. ”

Slight pause.

Will said meaningfully, "I'm not the devil, but, Tiger? As far as I know, human beings are more terrifying than the devil! ”

Tiger opened his mouth wide and breathed heavily, and he was about to suffocate in fear.

"Very psychological? Then it's over obediently. Will said leisurely: "The government did not disclose the experience of being a slave of the Tianlong people, after all, once it was exposed, the nature of the 'Mary Joya Attack' changed, and the oppressed people fought back, tsk~ They are afraid of being more embarrassed, especially afraid of triggering more people to follow suit!" I mean, the government selectively forgets that you are a slave of the Draconians, and you might as well selectively forget that you are a slave of the Draconians, and then! Died as a 'slave emancipator' who opposed slavery. ”

Will lit a cigar: "You're a hero!" No doubt! Tiger, you have broken the laws of iron, fiercely pressed the majesty of the so-called gods into the ground, and saved thousands of miserable people, only on behalf of individuals, I have high respect for you...... But it's not easy to be a hero! Heroes must have the fate of heroes, go on the road with peace of mind, the world will remember your great feats, and your name will be immortal. ”

Silence, wordless silence.

"I promise you, let your companion go, Jibel Jinhei is a more gifted person than you, and he has the ability to inherit your position and lead the Sun Pirates." Will said, "Trust me! This is your best end, at least what you hate from beginning to end is me, the Celestial Dragons, don't involve anyone else, stop struggling, leave with dignity, and you, the Sun Pirates, and Fish-Man Island will be happy. ”

Tiger burst into tears: "Why? Are we fish-people inherently meant to be bullied? We are also a member of the world government! ”

"Who dug the pirate smuggling hole under Mary Joa? Well? Do you know what it was used for in the first place? What role did you fishmen play 800 years ago? Will spread his hands: "To put it simply, your ancestors made a serious mistake, you are a member of the World Government, and it is the mercy of the victors to the losers, do you understand?" Losers have no human rights! You are not in a position to complain that the World Government has not completely eliminated you. ”

Will shook his head: "Princess Otohime's advocacy of 'peaceful coexistence with the majority race' is the right strategy, the fish-people are a weak group, cling to the strong group, and compromises are the best way to survive!" Hateful people like you are not saved, and the future of the fish-people is that they are not affected by hatred and discriminatory thoughts! OK, don't be verbose, self-cut? I killed you? Choose one of the two. ”

Tiger counters killing Will?

Tiger escaped under Will?

There was no such option, and even Tiger himself knew that he had been defeated by Will five years earlier, when Will was only a thirteen-year-old boy.

"Hula~"

The fire of the underworld flickered at Will's brow.

"The future of the Fish-People is for the next generation to be free from hateful and discriminatory thoughts......" Tiger muttered sluggishly, his spirit crushed by Will.

Will quietly waited for Tiger's choice.

"Jinping !!"

"Take everyone away!"

"From now on, you're the captain of the Sun Pirates!"

"That's the end of it! Sorry, brothers! ”

"I beseech you not to hate anyone...... Aaron! When I was a big brother, listen to my ......"

“……”

Across the walls of the building, Tiger says goodbye to the Sun Pirates.

1507, March 27.

Twelve p.m. and thirty minutes and twenty seconds.

Nearly three months after the "Mary Joya Attack", the captain of the Sun Pirates, the "slave liberator", the fish-man hero, Fisher Tiger.

Suicide.

"Rest in peace, my friend, your soul will continue, your birth and your existence are only to pass on that psalm of hope, forever, to give you this tears, this is a new friendship, people thank you for the dreams and happiness you have given them...... A~Door! ”
