Traveler in the Pirate World

Lily was not in a very good mood tonight. Although she knew that life and death were normal in the world, the death of someone she once knew still made her feel uncomfortable.

It's not that I'm unable to stop it, or that I'm unable to revive it, it's just that I won't do it.

In fact, physical immortality has never been a difficult task. The biggest obstacle to immortality is whether one has the heart and foundation to carry eternity.

The deaths of Johnny and Joseph were not surprising in such an era. Pirate hunter has never been a safe profession.

Before going to sea, Lily might have resurrected the two without a care, but now she would not make such a choice.

Lily quietly looked at the two big smiling faces in the picture, looked at the life trajectory flashing on the two broken pendants, and slowly closed the notebook in her hand.

The next day, a thin layer of clouds covered the sky, blocking most of the sunlight, and the breeze was cool. Lily raised her hand and gently patted the black panther's head, "I'm leaving. If you want to eat cooked food in the future, you can find that guy!" Lily pointed at Rui who was confused in the distance.

For some reason, Black Panther understood what the girl said. He turned around to look at the weak-looking guy and shouted twice in dissatisfaction, showing some disgust!

Lily ignored it and just picked up Lab flying in the air. She flew into the air, reached the top of the mountain with her dress fluttering, took another step forward, and disappeared.

Black Panther looked at the girl's departing back reluctantly. It wasn't because of any deep feelings for her, but because he felt sad to lose the delicious food and seemed a little disappointed.

Suddenly remembering the girl's words, he turned into a shadow and ran to Rui's side in three or two steps. He raised his paw and pointed at the fire that the girl had extinguished this morning, then pointed at his mouth, obviously asking for food.

Rui looked at the sociable big cat in silence. He originally thought that the black panther was the pet of the strange girl, but now it looked more like a greedy beast in the jungle that was addicted to cooked food. He didn't know what the girl had said to it, and now it was pestering him.

But he did not refuse. When he was young, Rui followed old Benny and dealt with wild beasts many times. Among them, there were some extremely smart guys who had a good relationship with old Benny. Now, compared with humans, he actually prefers dealing with wild beasts.

Everything that happened back then is a nightmare that Rui will never forget. Even though old Benny said countless times before he died that it was not his fault, Rui will never be able to forgive himself.

If the girl had not lied to him, this really was an uninhabited island and Rui really planned to stop here. He was tired and didn't want to go anywhere.

Rui no longer wants to interact with people, no longer wants to wander around, and no longer wants to be wanted all over the world. He just wants to find a place where no one can disturb him and live a simple life alone, just like his father and old Benny's desperate cries, "Live!" That's all.

I found some dry firewood, laid out some stones, and put up a piece of iron sheet that I had picked up from the coast, and slowly started to cook the meat that I had smoked yesterday.

Soon, a unique aroma of smoked meat filled the air. Black Panther squatted beside him impatiently, lowering his head to smell it from time to time, and even sticking out his tongue. However, Rui grabbed the back of his neck to stop him from licking the red-hot iron plate.

There was a rustling sound in the jungle. When Rui looked back, he saw countless glowing eyes looking at him in the dense forest. For some reason, there was a sense of disappointment and fear in those eyes.

The chewy meat entered his mouth, and large chunks of meat were torn apart, revealing the rose-red and transparent yellowish muscle fibers and fat. The taste was acceptable, but it was too different from what he had eaten yesterday, so Black Panther did not seem very satisfied. He looked at Rui with a look of disgust, but he did not mean to stop.

The Guanhai is drifting on the sea, the small hull rises and falls in the waves. Lily, wearing a loose work suit and goggles, sits in the workshop, gently carving wood. Two figures arm in arm can be vaguely seen.

Near noon, a strong wind blew on the changeable sea, but it did not rain. It just disturbed the waves, causing Guanhai to sway in the waves.

Sometimes it drifted around in the turbulent waves, and sometimes it was overturned and dived into the sea. Lab excitedly followed the ups and downs of the sea and had a good time.

However, all this had no effect on Lily who was in the cabin. She stared at the two figures in a daze. Perhaps in the distant future she would slowly get used to losing, even if they were people who were extremely important to her. Of course, it was also possible that she would never get used to it.

After placing the two figures on the shelf, Lily turned and left, pushed open the door outside, and ignored the rising and falling waves. Lily sat at the table on the deck, and an identical figure sat down in front of her.

"Are you hesitating?" The clone said softly while pouring tea, but it seemed that his mind was mostly on the tea.

"A little bit." Lily took the tea handed to her by her clone and did not deny it.

"But you know you can't do that, don't you?" The clone looked back at Labbu tumbling in the sea, "A traveler's life is always accompanied by meeting and parting. Accepting death is also a recognition of life. No one can truly protect anyone forever.

If you choose to resurrect them today, you will resurrect others tomorrow. Slowly, you will begin to reject death and even develop a resistance to birth, aging, sickness and death.

Not all living beings have the will and ability to carry on eternity. Even if you extend their lives forever, people's hearts will change after thousands of years, and they will no longer be themselves.

Everything you do today will be just an illusion in the end.

Have you ever thought about freezing their will and character, but how is that different from imprisoning them in time? Eternity will only become their cage, right? "

"I know!" Lily lowered her head and sipped her tea. It tasted bitter at first but remained bitter. "Time will change everything. For ordinary people, eternal life may not necessarily be a blessing. It can also become a curse. I won't do that!"

"What about in the future? How do you face your brother, grandfather, and father?" The clone looked at her quietly.

"I don't know!" Lily shook her head, "I can't choose for myself!" After that, Lily looked into the distance, where there was a lonely sea with only a naval standard warship moving forward in the waves. In the dark cabin, the boy's whole body was imprisoned by seastone, and Kizaru sat nonchalantly outside the other's cage.

There is a difference between relatives and strangers, and Lily is selfish. This is the greatest injustice for her, who possesses unimaginable power for most people in this world, to other ordinary people in this world.

Five chains bound Ace's limbs and throat. The unique properties of seastone made it difficult for Ace's body to muster any strength.

Huang Yuanman sat backwards on the chair, his hands resting on the back of the chair, looking a little bored, and said to Ace who was bowing his head in the cell with some complaints, "It's really troublesome. For those of you who control the Eye of God, we don't know how to detain you now.

I can only stay here to guard you. I hope Brother Ace won't cause me any trouble. Then I will have to deal with you more roughly. " He yawned and looked listless.

Ace didn't say anything. He was also in low spirits. A strong anesthetic had been injected into his body and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. His originally weak body gradually couldn't hold on and he fell asleep soon.

In the silent cabin, there was a clattering sound of footsteps. A not-so-tall projection was elongated by the light in the corridor. A marine holding a spear slowly walked towards Kizaru. However, as he walked forward, his face kept distorting. White tumors shuttled between his mouth and nose, occupying his face bit by bit, and finally turned into a hollow mask.

"I can't hide it from you, can I?" Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly, "But what are you doing here at this time?"

"Come and see you, and also come and see him!" The masked man's voice was a little strange, sharp and hoarse, not like a human at all.

"You have seen Him, haven't you?"

"Some things can only be understood after you see them yourself. I can't explain it clearly if you ask me, and I won't tell you even if you know it. After all, we are not on the same path!" Borsalino's voice was very low and his tone was not friendly.

"But we have the same enemy, you should tell me, right?"

"No, you are just as dangerous to me, Kro D. Reid!" Borsalino looked at him coldly, "You are crazy, you have been crazy for many years!"

"It seems that the negotiations have failed!" The man called Crow D. Reid was not angry or disappointed, and did not seem to care about the outcome.

After saying that, he cast his gaze towards the sleeping Ace, his dark eyes just staring straight at Ace's body, "What an enviable and jealous good luck. The old guys still don't know that their most important chess pieces are now out of control. It's really pleasing, hahahaha..."

As he was laughing, Crow. D. Reid suddenly stopped laughing, his tone full of disappointment, the change was so fast that it seemed like he was schizophrenic. "But it's a pity. I actually approve of their plan and purpose. Now the real factor of success is no longer in our hands. Facing such an existence, I feel a little powerless!"

Kizaru's face was very cold. This was the biggest obstacle that prevented him from ever becoming a partner with the other party. Crow D. Reid hated the existing World Government on the one hand, but extremely agreed with the other party's ideas on the other hand. He liked to watch everyone causing trouble for the World Government, but at the same time he tried to push the so-called plan until it succeeded. He was a contradictory and crazy old monster.

Kizaru did not ask what the so-called plan was, or what the real purpose of the World Government doing all this was. He had already asked the other party such questions many times, and after each time being in vain, Kizaru no longer had any idea of ​​getting any relevant information from the other party.

It has to be said that this is quite ironic. For more than 800 years, dozens of generations of Torch leaders have never thought about or explored the real reasons why the World Government and the Holy Kingdom destroyed the Great Kingdom. Instead, they were more focused on pursuing the long-cherished wish of reviving the Great Kingdom.

But as time went on, modern leaders slowly discovered some clues. During the eight hundred years when technology and civilization almost stagnated or even regressed, the world government's strange attitude towards the sea and the various kingdoms had to make them doubt what happened eight hundred years ago.

If the union of the twenty kingdoms is to eliminate the threat of the great kingdom, then what is the real purpose of the Holy Kingdom hidden behind it?

They hid from everyone's sight, and there was even a ridiculous rumor that eight hundred years ago, the Kingdom of God on the Red Earth Continent was destroyed by the World Government and the Lunalia clan was almost on the verge of extinction.

What exactly do they want to do? This is a question that modern torch leaders are exploring and thinking about. Everything that was once familiar now seems to have a layer of fog.

To this day, the only information Kizaru has on this matter is just one sentence: "For the sake of humanity!"

For this reason, he had to try to get his comrades to do their utmost to get close to the top leaders of the World Government at all costs. Before figuring out the other party's true purpose, the revival of the great kingdom would almost become impossible.

"Forget it. I hope this plan will allow me to see more things." After saying that, Claude D. Reid looked at Ace deeply, turned and left.

"Be careful not to play with fire and get burned!"

"No, except that I have never really faced Him, I know as much as you do. You are the ones who have never concealed the truth from those old guys!" Kroll D. Reid's figure gradually faded away, and the mask on his face began to distort again. The white tumor fell off bit by bit, and finally fell to the ground and disappeared. Only the marine who was guarding the passage with all his heart was left, carefully monitoring everything around him, as if he had been there all the time.

The old guys wanted to use this war to eliminate the relics of the old times that might become obstacles to their plans in the future, but he wanted to see what attitude the young god would have.
