At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

After Shiqi left, Tren also left the garden. At the same time, Indigo, who had been staying outside, saw Tren and took the initiative to step forward, ready to take the three of them to the prepared room.

"No, I'm more accustomed to staying on my own boat." Tren waved his hand and refused.

He knew very well that the rooms on the Black Pearl were custom-made and were much better than those prepared by the Golden Lion in every aspect.

After all, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own nest!

"Rejected, is that so..." Indigo looked at Tren and his companions who were leaving, and stood there blankly, thinking about something in his mind.

He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to fully understand it. However, he saw a trace of confusion and loss in the eyes of the golden lion who left first.

This reminded Indigo of the Golden Lion. At that time, he followed the Golden Lion.

The captain is so stubborn that he is unwilling to accept help and arrangements from others.

I always feel that I can do everything and don't need to rely on anyone.

Except Roger, but he would not be sad when Roger rejected him, but fought an epic battle with him, but...

"Oh!" Thinking of this, Brother Indigo sighed deeply.

......

Main city, Golden Lion's room.

The room is decorated very simply, without any luxurious decorations except for some necessary daily necessities.

However, what caught the eye was an exquisite sword rack placed at the head of the bed. Unfortunately, the rack was empty except for two lonely scabbards.

At this moment, Shi Ji was sitting alone on the balcony, his figure looking a little lonely in the moonlight.

On the small table in front of him was a bottle of sake and a small wine glass. He just looked at the bright moon in the sky quietly and drank by himself.

"Captain." Suddenly, Indigo's voice came from the door.

Shiqi turned his head slightly and said softly, "Come in."

Indigo walked in and immediately saw the golden lion sitting alone on the balcony.

He took small steps to the side behind the golden lion and knelt down.

Since the Golden Lion was sitting, according to etiquette, Indigo could not stand next to him.

The night breeze blew their hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

Shiqi was still gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Indigo stayed by his side silently, without making any noise to disturb him, but just looked at the legendary captain with concern in his eyes.

"It's arranged." Shiqi retracted his gaze, looked sideways at Indigo, and asked softly.

"They didn't check in, but went back to their ship." Indigo answered in a low voice.

"Going back to your ship..." Shiqi's mouth corners raised slightly, but no sound came out.

He slowly lowered his head and stared at the "Sakura Ten" and "Dead Tree" that replaced his feet.

His hand instinctively reached out to touch the sword, but at this moment, he saw the slightly wrinkled backs of his palms.

Shiki was stunned for a moment, then he quickly turned his palms over. As expected, the palms that had become rough due to holding the hilt for a long time had become smooth at this moment...

He hasn't touched a sword for many years since he lost his legs.

At this moment, a complex emotion surged in Shiqi's heart, including nostalgia for the past and helplessness about the current situation.

He stared at his hands silently, as if he could see his past glory and honor through these hands.

After a moment's silence, he said, "Hey, Brother Indigo."

Hearing Shiqi's voice, Indigo immediately turned around with a familiar smile on his face.

He has always been like this, always silently accompanying Shiqi and never backing down no matter what difficulties he encounters.

"Captain, I'm here." Indigo's voice was firm and powerful.

Shiqi raised his head and looked into Indigo's eyes, which were full of trust and loyalty.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that this kid from his former pirate group now had a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Am I... old?"

Indigo's smile froze instantly, and he couldn't keep it on. How could the captain say such a thing? In his mind, Shiqi would always be the omnipotent and powerful legendary figure!

"Captain Ski!" Indigo shouted excitedly, "How can you say that? You are a legendary pirate as famous as Whitebeard and Roger! You are the captain of the largest pirate group in the New World - the Sky Pirates!

You are the man called "Lion"! You once forced the Roger Pirates into a desperate situation, and broke into the Navy Headquarters alone... You..."

Indigo became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice echoing in the empty room, and his face was already covered in tears.

Every word Indigo said touched Shiqi's heart deeply, making him recall every little detail of the past.

Yes, he used to be so powerful and invincible. But what about now? Time is unforgiving, and the passage of time has left obvious marks on him.

"Hahahaha!" Looking at Dr. Indigo's tearful face, Shiji couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter echoed throughout the room, as if it would penetrate the space and spread to farther places. At the same time, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the thrilling battle with Li Jing.

"Brother Indigo, I'm really old..." Shiji's voice was filled with helplessness and emotion, as if the passing of time had made him feel overwhelmed.

"But I can't die in obscurity! My name will resound throughout the sea once again, and I, Shiki, will not lose to Roger!" There was a firm light flashing in Shiki's eyes, as if announcing to the world his inner unwillingness.

"Captain Ski."

However, Shiki did not respond to his call, but his expression suddenly changed, and then he pulled hard, and took off the "Sakura Ten" and "Dead Wood" that originally replaced his legs, and held them tightly in his hands! Feeling the familiar touch of his old friend, the golden lion completely forgot the pain coming from his legs...

At this moment, he seemed to be in a world that belonged only to him, and everything around him became blurry.

Only the "Sakura Ten" and "Dead Tree" in your hands are real.

They witnessed his past glory and honor, and accompanied him through countless difficult and dangerous moments.

Looking at the golden lion who was floating in the air using the power of the fruit, holding the two big swords "Sakura Ten" and "Deadwood" in both hands, Indigo fell into a trance for a moment.

He seemed to see again the high-spirited and arrogant golden lion - Shiqi!
