Pirate: I partnered with Zefa to build a new navy!

In the New World, in the territory of Totland and All Nations, a merchant ship flying the flag of the Atlantis Chamber of Commerce is sailing here.

And its target is Tyrian Island, which has appeared not too far in front of the ship.

In the early years, Tyrian Island was an ordinary island in the New World. There was nothing special about it. The only advantage it had was that it was not too far away from Cake Island, the capital island of Totland. Far.

But at that time, Totlan Wanguo was not yet stable, nor was it particularly prosperous.

Nowadays, Tyrian Island belongs to Totland All Nations. At the same time, it can also be said that after Cake Island, it is another prosperous island of Totland All Nations. Its economic development, safety environment, etc. are far ahead of Totland. ·The rest of the islands of Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

Moreover, this is also the only island in Totland that is not named after weird names such as desserts and food.

If we say that the economy is developing rapidly, it can also be attributed to its proximity to Cake Island, which enjoys a lot of welfare radiation from Cake Island. But as for why this island is so special, there is only one reason, and that is this island. It is the 'hometown' of Bane Altoron, the Bull of Heaven.

It is called my hometown, but in the almost ten years since Ortoron came out, he has not returned to Tyrian Island once.

He didn't know why. It was obviously not very far from G-5. He went to Cake Island, but Tyrian never came back.

Standing on the deck, the sea breeze blew across Oltorun's face, causing him to squint his eyes slightly. Looking at the island in the distance that was getting closer and more prosperous, he felt strange for a moment. , there is absolutely nothing in common with the Tyrian in my impression.

"If I hadn't known that Tyrian was there, I probably wouldn't have recognized it even if I was passing by..." Altoron said softly.

"So, you want to find your childhood there, and I want to see the traces of your life there, but it may not be possible?" Gion asked with a slightly regretful tone after hearing this.

"Maybe..." Oltorun said casually, not in high interest.

Gion glanced at Ortorun and wondered, could this be the so-called nostalgia?

Soon, the ship arrived at the port of Tyrian. Unlike the previous times, when the ship approached here, the people on the island specially opened a dedicated channel and ship slot for them.

As soon as the ship ladder was lowered, the red carpet had been spread from the port pier to the bottom of the ship ladder. As soon as Oltorun stepped off the ship ladder, the fireworks and salutes exploded, and then there were handsome guys and beauties on both sides who didn't know where they came from. They started singing and dancing, creating a scene of warm welcome.

This made Ortorun quite helpless. When he got off the boat ladder, he saw a fat middle-aged man and a group of fellow villagers appearing in front of him in a flattering manner.

Vaguely, Altorun felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar. He seemed to be the capable mayor of more than ten years ago?

"Lord Ben, you are finally back!" The middle-aged man greeted enthusiastically, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Listening to this voice, Ortoron was finally sure that this guy was the mayor of that year. He vaguely remembered that the mayor of that year was indeed a capable man. Occasionally, when pirates and other thugs came to invade, he would even organize an attack on the island. The young and strong men took the lead in the resistance together, and Altorun also helped inside.

I just didn't expect that in less than ten years, the capable man at the beginning would have been turned into such a fat head and big ears by life.

The clothes he wore also showed the wealth of a wealthy man. It was obvious that as the steward of the only autonomous island in Totland, his life was very prosperous.

"Long time no see, Mayor." Ortorun didn't remember his name, but he still greeted him with a smile.

But even so, the mayor was stunned for a moment, and then some tears appeared in his eyes, and he said movedly: "You still remember me...you still remember me..."

After chatting with this guy who was beginning to be impressed by himself, Oltorun also walked into the town. As soon as he came out of the port, he saw a huge steel statue standing in the center of the port square.

Take another look, good guy, that statue is none other than Altorun!

"It's really you. Even the Warring States generals didn't dare to have a statue of themselves..." Gion teased with a surprised but somewhat amused expression.

Ortoron was also very speechless. He could understand why the fellows on these islands did this kind of thing. In fact, it was just for peace of mind and safety. It seems that this statue is standing here. The people of the Big Mom Pirates You can know how much they revere Ortoron, which may bring them some sense of security. This statue stands here, as if Ortoron is protecting them on the island.

"The general is right not to do this, and the marshal doesn't like it, because they all understand the same truth..." Ortorun said softly.

"What's the point?" Gion asked slightly puzzled.

"Nothing is immortal, especially in this world and on this sea, no one can truly last forever. The moment the statue is erected, the countdown to the day it will be torn down begins..." Ortorun He said with a self-deprecating smile.

The mayor on the side broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. He didn't know what Altorun meant.

However, Oltorun did not ask everyone to tear this down or anything. He patted the mayor on the shoulder and said: "I came back this time just to see my hometown. A large group of people surrounded me, but instead I feel a little uncomfortable, please leave..."

After the crowd was dispersed, the mayor saw that Ortorun had no interest in him, so he left the place with good sense. Although the residents and traders walking around still wanted to observe the situation here from time to time, but compared to The feeling of being surrounded just now was much better.

Ignoring the statue or anything else, Ortorun seemed to be in a better mood. As he walked, he pointed out some old buildings around Gion.

"That place was originally the mayor's office building, but now it looks like it has been turned into some kind of office space at the port. My father used to take me there to collect protection fees. The mayor just now, every time I see him I was very scared when I met my father..." Ortorun said with a smile.

While talking and laughing, Oltorun gradually came to the edge of the town. To be precise, it was the edge of the town in his impression. In fact, except for the direction he was heading in, the rest of the surrounding areas had been developed. After all, More than ten years of rapid development have increased the population and area of ​​this town so much that the small town in the past could not bear this kind of prosperity.

"Why doesn't this place seem to have been developed?" Gion asked a little strangely as he followed Altorun.

"Because this is the direction of my home..." Ortorun answered with a slightly nostalgic tone.

Soon, at the end of the road, a building like a farmhouse appeared there. Looking at the carefully maintained courtyard wall, you knew that even if no one lived here, it was neatly taken care of.

There was no padlock on the door. When Ortorun pushed the courtyard door open, he saw a big stone table. He remembered the last time he was here, when Katakuri brought the cookie man over to look for him. His time.

Not far from the stone table, close to the corner of the courtyard wall, there is a blacksmith's work area. Looking at the stove, Ortorun couldn't help but smile and said: "My warhammer is where I put my own hands." It’s been ten years since I built it, and I haven’t even thought of a name for it yet…”

When he said this, he turned around and saw that Gion was already walking around in the yard observing himself, with a calm and gentle smile on his face.

This made Oltorun couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing? You are smiling so happily."

"As I walk here and look at this house, I seem to be able to think of how you once lived here. Every plant and tree here has traces of your life. I don't know why, but when I look at these , I feel that this time it was not in vain, and I am very happy." Gion responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Oltorun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little soft in his heart, but on the surface he shook his head and said jokingly: "If you want to find out the embarrassing things from my childhood from here, I won't tell you... .”

After entering the house, I found that the house had been cleaned very clean, but the objects left behind from those years were still in their original locations without any changes.

On the altar table facing the door of the room, there was a knife rest, but the knife rest was empty. Altorun looked at the knife rest and was a little distracted for a moment.

After his father, Ben Theronis, passed away that year, Altoron felt that it was somewhat sad to see things and miss people, so he buried all the things about his father in the house with him. .

Only the knife and the knife stand remained at home.

He had always felt that he was not a person stuck in the past, but when he looked at the knife stand, he suddenly felt some longing for his father. That kind of longing had not appeared in the past ten years. But this time it came very violently.

"Knife, I have given it to her for you. Dad, the person you want to protect is already standing at the top of this sea. Whether it is her or me, how about it, I didn't disappoint you?"

Altorun looked at the empty knife rack and whispered to himself.
