Everyone is accustomed to regretting their choices, but old Mark will not, because he has reached the twilight of his life.

Therefore, the old Mark has his own understanding of the choice, and in his opinion, if it is really his own choice, it must not be wrong.

Because: what to choose, what to bear, what to love.

The sea, a place full of treasures and stories, has lived in Old Mark's heart for a long time, but it is not until people reach the twilight of their lives and their lives have come to an end that Old Mark really picks it up.

When he was young, Mark Sr. had been looking up at the sea in the harbor, and it was only in his twilight years that he set foot in this dream place, and Mark Sr. felt that he was younger now than he had been.

Seeing Emily rushing quickly, Old Mark suddenly opened his arms.

"The sea breeze is so gentle today..."

Old Mark smiled slightly, at this moment, the moment he embraced the sea breeze, he felt unprecedented ease and happiness, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to his hometown.

From the moment he chose to follow Yorkham Jones, from the moment he chose the sea, he arrived at his true homeland.

The sea breeze gently beat old Mark's hair, and the cheerful sound of the waves came, accompanied by bursts of white gulls singing.

"Treasure... Hometown... It's all a dream..."

Muttering, Old Mark lowered his head and sucked on his hookah.

He didn't exhale smoke, only saw the black grass smoke burning rapidly, and the sparks flew up in clusters like welding.

After taking a puff of black grass smoke, one spark flew up, like a starlight circling.

Then Old Mark opened his mouth gently.

All the smoke was spit out by him, and slowly, a light veil was draped over Mars, looking like a nebula.

Soon, Emily came up to Old Mark, and her fat worm arm bit directly at Old Mark and Barton.

Barton glared in anger and raised his massive shield to make his last stand.

At this moment, the sparks covered in smoke clouds around them suddenly ignited, and in just a few breaths, a bright fireworks began to bloom with Old Mark's smile.

Boom! Boom!

With a roar, Barton was suddenly pushed out of the explosion circle by a huge force.

Suddenly looking up, Barton saw Old Mark smiling at him and muttering something.

But the explosion was so loud that Barton couldn't hear it clearly, and the only thing he could hear most clearly was 'Captain... Captain..."' a few words.

The explosion became more and more violent, like a brilliant starry sky exploding.

In the blooming spark, everything is not visible.

"Old Mark!

Barton shouted loudly, his vision began to blur, and in a trance, Barton saw the 'Immortal Major' Roland.

At this moment, his nightmare clearly surfaced in front of him.

'Undead Major' Roland was very quiet, as if he were dead, and he quietly slaughtered Barton's companions like a wheat field.

As the captain of the team, Barton saw his companions rushing forward to fight one by one, but he himself trembled and did not dare to move a single step.

Until all his companions died, until Roland, the 'Undead Major', walked in front of him, Barton still didn't move a single step.

In the end, when Roland, the 'Undead Major', was about to make a move, a young boy hugged Roland's feet, and the boy died, but Roland, the 'Undead Major', somehow let Barton go.

All the memories came clearly, and Barton suddenly fell to his knees and burst into tears.

It turned out that he had never thought about revenge, his madness was just an escape, wishing that he would die and then not have to face this nightmare, so he drank a lot, because alcohol can paralyze his memory.

Slowly, the smoke from Old Mark began to disappear, and Old Mark's body fell lightly to the ground.

Emily then dragged her body towards Barton.

Looking at Emily as she walked forward, Barton trembled again.

Yesterday's fear, today's.

The memory is clearer, and in the memory, when the boy hugged the 'immortal major' Roland, he still shouted to himself:

"Captain, kill him, kill him!"

Barton remained unmoved, completely overwhelmed by fear, and it wasn't until the 'Undead Major' Roland left, until the ship sank into the sea, and until the sea water hit his mouth and nose, that Barton regained consciousness.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Barton remembered the boy's name, his name was 'Basta', a boy who wanted to become a pirate emperor every day, a boy who never gave up.

And at this point, Emily was closer.

"Move, move for Lao Tzu!" Barton roared as he watched the worms rush towards him, and he lifted his trembling legs vigorously and straightened up.

This time, Barton triumphed over fear.

Then, Barton's supernatural power swelled wildly. The 'pirate power' that he had devoured in his body a few years ago was also rapidly digesting.

In just a few seconds, Barton had completely digested the 'pirate power' in his body, and his transcendent rank had reached 'Major'.

The smoke from Old Mark's breath dissipated at this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of waves came from behind him.

Turning his head to look, Barton couldn't stop crying, it turned out that Old Mark had taken him to the ocean, if he could have overcome the nightmare earlier, Old Mark wouldn't...

The moment the tears were shed, a huge splash of water jumped from the sea.

Low, shallow singing began to appear, like the sea singing.

At the sound of the voice, a huge blue-and-white silhouette leaped out.

It was a beluga whale, and when Emily raised her arm and waved it at Barton, the leaping beluga whale swallowed Emily directly.

When he was done, Moby Dick twisted his head and rubbed Barton, and made a coquettish sound.

"From now on, we will be partners. ”

Barton gently touched Moby Dick's head and walked towards Old Mark, who twisted his body and retreated into the sea.

The beluga whale did not leave, it lingered to the sidelines, watched its master carry old Mark on his back, and then continued to sing in a low voice.

In the whale song, everything has settled, some people stay, and some people move forward.

...

In another battleground, the ground was devastated as if it had been bombarded by artillery fire.

This battlefield belongs to Peel, and there is not a single figure on it, and it seems to be over.

After a while, the bricks of the ruins moved a few times, and a cloud of liquid crawled out of the ruins.

It was Peele, his body covered in burn marks, and a deep groove in his chest.

After a few glances, Peel took a deep breath:

"Whew... It's terrifying, if I hadn't pretended to be dead in time, I would probably have died. ”

"According to the pirate's description, this 'Meng' has the qualifications to become a king, and it may not be long before there will be a 'lightning king' in this sea. ”

"I wonder what happened to Old Mark and Barton..."

Muttering, Peel walked in the same direction.

...

At the same time, in the wedding square, the 'little pineapple' slowly walked into the castle.

Inside the castle, the lights are very bright.

By the light of the light, Little Pineapple sees that the man on the throne is long dead, and his true face is revealed, he is Jim.

Jim had a smile on his face, as if he was happy when he died.

"It's actually a fake 'Colonel Falcon', no wonder he hasn't made a move, it turned out that he was directly poisoned... I thought I was preparing for a big move, but I've been hiding..."

"Hmm... Move the castle valuables and go to the ruins to help the captain and Mr. Jones. ”

Muttering a few words, the 'little pineapple' waved his little hand, extinguished the surrounding fires, and walked towards the castle treasury.
