Pirate's Swordsman

♂nbsp; The wind was still howling on the sea, but the surrounding air was almost solid at this moment.

The boat was already hot and red, and seemed to be disintegrated into ashes at any time. Owen, who was holding his red right fist high, was still staring at the silent Laura below with a sneer on his face, waiting for her answer.

Two choices were before him. The former at least still had a chance of survival, while the latter was a complete dead end. Owen didn't think that the sister in front of him, who was usually not very lovable, would have any other answers.

However, he seemed destined to be disappointed. When Laura raised her head again, the remaining panic in her eyes had completely subsided, and all that remained was as calm and firm as a lake.

Katakuri suddenly sighed at this moment. His horrifying look had already predicted the answer he would hear.

"I've thought it through, brother Owen."

Laura looked directly at Owen, without evading: "I still don't think I did anything wrong, so instead of returning to the world, I would rather die here, among the fireworks on the sea."

Having said this, she paused and smiled at Katakuri on the other side: "Maybe in this way, I can be considered to have real freedom and relief..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this answer, Owen was startled at first, and then laughed angrily. His shining red right hand suddenly closed and clenched into a fist, "Ha! Sure enough, I still haven't realized it yet. In that case, I'll send you on your way first. alright……"

But just when he was about to activate his ability, a strong and powerful hand suddenly grasped his wrist.

Owen turned his head in shock and found that it was Katakuri who stopped him, but the latter did not look at him at the moment, but still looked at Laura below in silence.

"Freedom..."

After his eyes flashed, Katakuri finally spoke slowly, "Is this kind of thing more important than your life?"

"Of course!"

As if she had figured out a lot of things, Laura's smile became brighter and calmer, and she said without hesitation: "No one can stop me, not my mother, not even you, Katakuri-nii!"

"very good."

Katakuri had a look on his face, and soon he saw him pull out the trident "Earth Dragon" from his back and raise it high. The cold light from the tip of the trident was particularly dazzling at this moment.

"In that case, Laura..."

Accompanied by a deep voice without any emotion, this huge trident, several meters long, suddenly stabbed straight down towards the boat on the sea!

"If you want to get out, get out now!"

boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, a huge water column more than ten meters high suddenly opened up on the sea surface, and the air waves swept away, causing the small boat that was almost disintegrated to be torn into countless pieces almost instantly, and Laura on the boat, He also fell into the sea and was drowned by the waves.

"Go away, Laura! Go away as far away as possible. From now on, don't say you are a member of the Charlotte family, and don't say you are your mother's daughter!"

"My sister Laura is dead from today!"

The earth dragon retreated, and the waves gradually calmed down.

Lola, who was all wet, emerged from the sea. She looked up at Katakuri with a cold expression, and tears instantly burst into her eyes.

"elder brother……"

Her lips moved with difficulty for a while, but she said nothing in the end. After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she turned around resolutely and swam toward the Gale.

…………

On the deck of the Gale.

The crew members who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of surprise. Only then did Delump wake up from a dream. He turned to look at Xia Nuo in shock: "Captain, did you know that this would be such a result?"

Just now, when Katakuri pulled out his trident, the officers of the Hayate Pirates were already ready for battle, waiting for Shano to give the order to come to the rescue. However, they did not expect that not only did their captain not What kind of reaction also stopped the helmsman from speeding up.

In addition to the previous series of operations of letting Laura off the boat without saying a word, no one understood what kind of medicine was sold in Xia Nuo's gourd. It was only now that they gradually understood.

"of course."

Xia Nuo smiled and looked at Katakuri above the dark clouds. The latter was standing silently at the moment. Even though Irving next to him, who was full of disbelief, let out a questioning roar, he had no intention of continuing to pursue Laura, "That guy, right?" My younger brothers and sisters have never been cruel..."

The distance between the Gale and the Gale was not too far, only about three to four hundred meters. Seeing that Laura was almost swimming over, he didn't explain any more and asked the crew to put down the ladder and prepare to pick up people on the ship.

Laura grabbed the ladder and began to climb up. Only then did everyone on the deck notice that her eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried.

In addition, the swimming just now seemed to have consumed a lot of her energy. After climbing halfway, Laura's movements became obviously sluggish. She gritted her teeth every time she kicked her legs hard, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. fall.

"I'll go down and help her."

Seeing that Laura's energy was about to be exhausted, Delump sighed and jumped out of the boat. He held the ladder with one hand and held Laura's shoes with the other hand, pushing upwards with all his strength.

"Thank you!"

Laura glanced at Delump gratefully, and then continued to climb up. But at this moment, there was a sudden burning sensation in the palm of her hand holding the nylon rope. She subconsciously let go of her hand and fell into the water with a scream. , and Trump, who was directly below, was caught off guard and was also smashed into the sea.

Plop, two splashes of water splashed one after another, and when De Trump stuck his head out from the sea, he saw the ladder above his head being completely ignited, turning into ashes and falling down.

How is this going?

Delump was a little confused, but Laura, whose head emerged from the sea next to him, turned pale with shock when she saw this, and turned to look at the dark clouds in the distance.

Brother Owen, until now...are you still unwilling to let me go?

at the same time.

On the deck of the Wind, Xia Nuo, who had been looking at a show with a leisurely look on his face, finally lowered his arms around his chest and stared at the burned ladder, his eyes gradually becoming colder.

……

On the dark clouds.

Katakuri, who had already turned around and was absent-mindedly thinking about how to go back and explain, noticed the subtle movement in the distance, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Owen beside him.

The latter retracted his fist at just this moment, but the red light in his pupils still did not dissipate. Obviously, it was Owen who had activated his ability just now, using air-to-air heating to ignite the ladder on the side of the Gale.

"why."

Katakuri frowned tightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Owen, I have already said that today's matter has been revealed. If my mother blames me when I go back later, I will bear the responsibility alone... …”

"That's just what you think!"

Owen grinned, and slammed his strong and huge fists on his chest, making a dull impact, "I also said that traitors will never be forgiven! Katakuri, I have always obeyed and trusted you unconditionally. And you have never let me down, but I'm sorry this time..."

"For the Charlotte family and for my mother's will, I must do what I should do!"
