The profiteer on the Grand Line [One Piece]

With his vision reversed, Marco glanced at Andrea, who was standing next to him and pretending that nothing happened. He knew that the other person didn't want him to see anything and didn't say anything.

But I had some guesses in my mind.

Maybe the island itself has something to do with Andrea.

However, that golden stone slab... he seemed to have some impression, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Andrea didn't pay any attention to Ace's curious eyes as he looked at her. As long as she didn't feel embarrassed, there would be no problem.

The scene in front of him has begun to become unreal, and even the sound transmission seems to be distant.

Yi Zang looked around, "It seems it's almost over."

The harvest this time was not much, but they were able to determine one thing, that is, the culprit here was probably the old man who lived in the palace before.

"But it's a bit strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't the young man who drew that card overthrow the king's rule and create a new peace? How did it end up like this?"

Andrea had no intention of answering. She still stared at the young man who was talking angrily to the king and the pirates. For a long time, she let out a long sigh.

"ended."

The moment her words fell, everything in front of her was like a broken mirror, completely shattered.

Marco was silent for a moment and didn't say anything. Blue flames erupted from his body, his hands turned into wings, and his legs turned into sharp claws. He got rid of the man who was hanging upside down by Andrea's legs just now. embarrassing scene.

As he flew, Marco also saw the king looking at them through a telescope.

Birds have very good eyesight, and he could clearly see the fear that had not faded from the other person's face.

The object of the other party's fear seemed to be Andrea.

Marco raised his head and glanced at the cover that still covered the entire island and asked, "I think if we ask about the situation now, the other party will kneel down and tell everything directly."

Not to mention anything else, the fear of Andrea engraved in the other person's bones has almost become the other person's nightmare.

Ace snorted angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied, "I have done a lot of evil before, and now I am still occupying this island! This is too much!"

Yizang didn't express any opinions. There were many people who were worse off than this group of people. No one knew how much filth was hidden in this sea.

Andrea, who also turned to look over, looked at the old man standing blankly on the wall of the kingdom, silently.

"Let's go."

In fact, she said, the matter is almost over here, but I think some hot-blooded young man is not willing to end it like this, so let's solve it completely.

"I just don't know if the final result will be what you want."

"What?" Ace asked, not hearing clearly, but got no answer.

Andrea didn't dwell on this matter. She returned to her original appearance, jumping and walking on the road.

Ace was the first one to rush over. There was no danger here anyway, it was just a little weird at most.

Furthermore, the other party is obviously just an ordinary person.

How can these pirates be afraid?

The boy jumped up, his fiery fist lighting up half the sky.

He directly punched the wall of the palace, the building collapsed, and the rickety old man was knocked to the ground.

The old man was sitting on the ground, still looking a little stupid. His eyes never left Andrea, and he laughed for a long time.

The smile was a bit crazy, I don’t know why.

"Hahaha, you are still alive, and you still dare to come here!"

It looked like Andrea was the one who had done something wrong.

Ace looked down at the old man, frowning slightly, "Why do you want to control those people?"

"Control? Do you think I am controlling them?" The old man's voice was faint, as if crying and laughing. "But there's nothing I can do about it."

Ace was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming more confused.

Andrea, who happened to be on the city wall, stood up on her tiptoes and swayed a few times, "Although I don't know the specifics, I can probably imagine it."

"You can't protect them."

The old man seemed to be even more excited after hearing this. He struggled to stand up, "If it weren't for you -"

"how do I?"

The old man wanted to say something, but he said nothing.

He looked a little slumped and sat on the ground.

"Unlock the restriction."

The old man's eyes were a little depressed, "You guys are in the same group."

Being looked at with such eyes, Ace felt a little at a loss. He had been out at sea for many years.

I have been scolded and chased by others, but I have rarely been looked at with such heavy eyes.

This made him feel that he seemed to be going a little too far.

Ace didn't understand. The man in front of him had done so many excessive things. Why would he still accuse others?

But the other party's emotion made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Andrea seemed to disappear for a while, but soon came back. She patted the dust on her clothes and pulled off Ace's...

Andrea, who originally wanted to pull the man's collar, looked at the naked young man and thought for a moment whether to pull the man's pants.

Seemingly sensing Andrea's thoughts, Marco looked up at the sky and pulled Ace over who was still dazed.

"Your persistence is meaningless." Andrea said, and she put the gem she had taken out before into the other person's hand. "This sea is vast and vast, and you can't contain those people."

"I have already taken away my things. There is no need for you to stay here forever. Look inside your heart and ask yourself what you have been doing all these years."

Watching Andrea's leaving figure, the old man also saw the three people he wanted to keep behind.

The backs of those people are gradually moving away and becoming blurry.

"Farewell." The old man's voice was hoarse, something he had never seen before in these years.

It represented pain and powerlessness, and he felt that he could prevent the so-called separation.

More than ten years ago, he saw Andrea's leaving figure. At that time, he still regarded her as a god.

Thinking of this, the old man smiled miserably and took out a still exquisite card from his pocket.

His fingers rubbed the card for a long time, as if he was missing something, and finally, he tore it into pieces!

Dissipate.

His persistence was meaningless.

When the card was torn into pieces, something seemed to have changed. It was unclear.

The spirituality of the entire island seemed to be reduced, and the protective shield that originally covered the sky quickly disappeared.

Seeing this, Ace was still a little dissatisfied. "Why don't you let me teach him a lesson? This guy... deserves a good beating!"

Seeing Ace's excited look, Yi Zang laughed out loud. Since he wouldn't be chased now, Yi Zang simply raised his hand to pull up the hair he had just let down.

"Little Ace, insight is still very important. Don't be reckless."

"what?"

Seeing Ace's confusion, Marco also raised a finger.

"You want to beat him because you think what he did was wrong? So how can you be sure that everything he did was wrong?"

Ace was at a loss, he couldn't understand what Marco meant at all.

They have seen so many things, why do they still say that the other party is not wrong?

While Ace was thinking hard, the old man had already staggered to the central square area.

The navy and pirates who did not belong to this island had all fallen unconscious.

There were many people lying on the ground, but there were also many aborigines standing there, waiting for the old man to arrive.

When the old man walked up to the statue, he found that there was a person who had not completely fallen into a coma. He was wearing an exaggerated white dress, with golden hair hanging down, and he was leaning on the base of the statue with his elbows to keep himself awake. Fall to the ground.

"This little trick can't make me, Cavendish, unconscious."

However, this guy who still wanted to maintain his elegant temperament in a coma was not important at all to the aborigines here. They all looked at the sculpture and the old man.

"Are you going to smash it?" someone asked.

"Is it over? That's fine."

It seemed that when the card was torn into pieces, the places where the aboriginal memory was modified also changed, but the strange thing was that no one had too much resentment towards the old man.

Cavendish, who could still maintain vague consciousness, felt that something was beyond his imagination. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the sculpture.

He clearly remembered the face of the sculpture, and these days, he had somewhat felt that something was not quite right.

But it seems that something is deliberately erasing those things. Once he starts to doubt, he will start to forget, and it is difficult to maintain coherent thinking.

Cavendish bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, he still wanted to see what was going on.

This feeling of being trapped by yourself is not very pleasant.

"When I first saw her, I felt that it was really a god coming to the world. She saved us and a bunch of worthless wretches." The old man's voice was hoarse, and his emotions could not be heard.

The other aborigines didn't speak either. They listened quietly to the old man's words.

"At that time, we were freed, and she asked us to continue to protect something for her. If the previous king hadn't planned to take that thing and give it to the pirates, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't be willing to help us."

However, people's hearts will change.

Originally, all he wanted was to get the most basic living security, so that everyone would be able to reap the benefits of hard work and not be so miserable all the time.

Later, he wished everyone alive.

Later, he hoped someone would protect them.

"Desire, desire, is a bottomless abyss."

Sighing, the old man took out the gem from his pocket and held it in his palm.

The bitter smile on his lips was indescribable. He took a deep breath and rushed forward to push the sculpture down.

The rocks splashed down and shattered all over the ground.

In his daily pain, he regarded the gods who had saved them as devils.

Only in this way can he convince himself and tell himself that what he did was not wrong.

"We didn't blame you." An erratic voice sounded, and it seemed that many people were speaking.

Cavendish felt his eyelids becoming heavier, and he tried hard to open them and see.

However, at this time, he discovered that those people who originally existed had turned into bubbles and gradually disappeared.

"These people don't exist, right? They are like ghosts?"

Even if he didn't know the specific situation, Cavendish still analyzed a lot of things in such a scene.

The old man has some special abilities and can do some unimaginable things on this island.

This place may have been massacred by pirates. These people hate pirates, but they also need their power.

They died, but the old man used his own power to preserve them and modify their memories.

As long as outsiders like me see that sculpture, they will be hypnotized and their memories will begin to change.

Start protecting this place.

"But why did he suddenly lift all this? And smashed the sculpture?"

Cavendish didn't quite understand, but he had no time to think.

His heavy eyelids fell, and he felt his body become lighter.

As well as the group of people who got on the turtle's back, they didn't think about what was going on. Only Ace, who couldn't think everything through clearly, was still struggling with his own brain.

But it didn't last long, and he had no time to take care of that.

Because racing on the sea is really fun——!

Andrea hummed and took out a fine cloth to wipe the golden slate, and the words on it became clearly visible under her wipe.

"Without this, wouldn't he have chosen to stay on that island?"

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? It's just a pity. That beautiful gem may become out of print in the future."
