Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

Chapter 336: Confronting Fate

"Crash..."

The sound of the tide spread to the deck along with the sea breeze. Everyone standing on the deck, except Mary, didn't care much about it.

For others, the sound of the ocean tide is already familiar. But for Mary, these peaceful days are worth cherishing no matter what they are.

When I came here I was alone, but when I went back I brought back three people and even an extra boat. Haha, if the Warring States Marshal saw this, he would probably have to think torturously about how I got my connections...

Thinking of this, Mary looked back at the three of them.

However, this time it is not a systematic recruitment.

This time I actually made friends with people in this world.

"Your Majesty Mary."

Sabo stepped forward and bowed slightly to Mary.

"Okay, there is no need to treat me like this." Mary waved her hand, "You are the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, and even if you are an ordinary soldier of the Revolutionary Army, there is no need to treat me with too much respect."

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"But no ordinary person can defeat the Four Emperors, and no ordinary person has the ability to connect so many organizations with different ideas."

Sabo shook his head and then dropped the subject.

"Your Excellency Mary, what should we do next after we return to the Navy?"

"It won't be long before the Desert Alliance declares war on the World Government. At that time, the Navy, one of the world's most violent institutions, will definitely participate in the battle."

"What should we do then?"

"I will think of a way. Although I am indeed too anxious...but I will definitely think of a way."

Mary shook her head and nodded again.

She was sure to convince Qingzhi and Garp, and Zefa was naturally on her side.

But the attitudes of Akainu, Kizaru and Sengoku are very unclear.

If given a little more time, Mary is very sure that the entire navy can be separated. But it's too fast now.

Moreover, Mary cannot leave the navy. What does it mean to leave the navy? The boundary is not clear enough.

What kind of navy does this navy refer to?

This is also a question that originally required Mary to test, but now it seems that there is no room for error.

but……

This is a battle that has no room for mistakes.

"I believe your Excellency."

Sabo nodded, convinced of Mary's words.

This is a characteristic of almost every member of the revolutionary army. They will not doubt any commitment of their comrades.

Then, he couldn't help but frown.

"But...it's really an exaggeration."

"Mr. Long once said that the Celestial Dragon named Saint Edved was as powerful as him. Such a person actually died so quietly."

"Is the World Government's top combat power really so powerful... that even a strong man of Mr. Long's level can't resist it?"

"Don't worry, Sabo."

Mary leaned against the railing, the sea breeze blowing slowly from behind her.

"No matter how strong they are, they are still human. And as long as they are human, they will have weaknesses. People without any weaknesses cannot exist."

"The power they are showing now is just the end of the eight hundred years of mighty power."

"This sea has been gestating for eight hundred years, and an unprecedented storm has arrived."

"but……"

“No matter how dark or violent the storm is, it is impossible to extinguish the light from the lighthouse.”

"And the night has come to an end and dawn will soon come."

"Do you know what we stand for, Sabo?"

Mary asked seriously.

"The interests of the masses, for justice for more people."

Sabo immediately answered without thinking.

Mary nodded.

"Yes, this is the [justice] I have always talked about."

"Saab, the enemy the World Government faces is none other than the Desert Alliance, the Revolutionary Army, or me. What they face is [Justice]. This has been pursued tirelessly by countless people since the birth of wisdom. justice."

"They have no chance of winning, this is the general trend."

"Strategically, we must despise our enemies. Power must perish. Strengthen your confidence, Sabo."

"……I see."

After Sabo thought for a moment, he nodded firmly.

Mary also smiled slightly:

"Saab, you will be an excellent warrior in the future. Your mind is always clear, your ability to accept other things is strong, and your learning talent is high. I am very optimistic about you."

"It's still too inferior compared to Your Excellency."

Sabo shook his head: "I'm afraid you are not as old as me, but now you are on par with the Four Emperors in terms of strength, at the top of the world in terms of status, and unparalleled in thought."

"After this battle is over, you will definitely be one of the greatest people, right?"

"One of the greatest..."

Mary seemed to remember something and suddenly sighed.

"I don't deserve any greatness."

"Sabo, greatness is used to describe dead people. Do you understand?"

"Why?"

Sabo was slightly startled when he heard these words.

Mary stared at Sabo without answering the question.

After a long time, he waved his hand.

"Go back and read the books I wrote. If you don't understand what I mean, it means you don't really understand my thoughts..."

"Go and have a look again."

"Well……"

Sabo scratched his head in confusion, but did not refute, but actually ran back to his room in the ship to read a book.

He is quite serious.

Watching Sabo leave, Mary lowered her head and closed her eyes.

The noise caused by the fight between Enilu and An, two people of about the same mental age, gradually faded away from his ears, leaving only the sound of the sea breeze.

After a long time, she opened her eyes and turned to look at the front of the ship.

At the same time, she pulled out a worn notebook from her chest.

Opening the notebook, the handwriting inside was completely different from Mary's.

This is another person's note.

Looking at the vigorous and powerful herself above, Mary's mind drifted back to the conversation she had with Saint Magik in the hospital bed a few afternoons ago.

"Are you really not willing to leave with me?"

Mary asked as she stood by the window and looked at Saint Magik.

"I don't want to get involved in this matter for the time being." Magiksheng shook his head and smiled, "In the beginning, I helped you purely for Edvid. Now...haha, Edvid is gone, even if I have to Helping you next is not just a matter of time."

"Well, I understand, then just do what you want to do."

Mary nodded naturally. She respected Saint Edwyd and Saint Magik. After all, I have taken a lot of care from them.

Now Magik Saint has his own ideas, and Mary will not force him.

However, just as she was about to leave the ward, she was suddenly stopped by Magik.

"Oh, yes... Vinicius, I have something for you."

"Um?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Magik hand over a notebook.

"Give."

"This is……?"

"This is Edwyd's notebook."

Saint Magik shrugged and watched Mary take the book.

"As far as I know, Edweed has had the habit of keeping a diary since he obtained the fruit ability...but it may be more appropriate to say it is a diary, or an essay. He does not write a lot every time. This is a notebook he has been using for more than ten years, haha, he hasn’t finished it yet, is that an exaggeration?”

Magik Saint grinned and said:

"I think he had a premonition of his own death, or was just sensitive to changes in the situation. After the speech where you were awarded the honor, he did not continue to write notes, but gave me this notebook."

"I didn't understand what he meant at the time, and I didn't bother to read what trivial things he wrote. But now it seems that he hopes that I can give you this notebook. Maybe there are a lot of things in it. Useful information for you.”

"Is this so..."

Mary touched the yellowed cover of the notebook and murmured.

"Vinisius, you must pay attention to Edved's notes."

Saint Magik suddenly said solemnly:

"Do you know what Edweed's fruit ability is?"

"He has fruit abilities?"

When this question was asked, Mary asked in surprise.

There's no way around it, Edwyd Saint's battles have always been a combination of swordsmanship and domineering, similar to Red Hair. Mary really didn't expect that he had fruit abilities.

"Yes, he does, and this fruit has been affecting him."

"His fruit is the natural Akasha fruit."

"Akasha? Natural type?"

This unfamiliar term made Mary look at Saint Magik in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

"Akasha is a concept. It represents that the world is the sum of all information, and it records everything in the world."

"Past, present, future, it records everything."

"In other words, you can understand that its existence is destiny itself."

Saint Magik explained: "Theoretically, those who eat this fruit can completely control their destiny, and can even change their destiny and tamper with Akasha's records..."

"But Akasha contains so much information that it is impossible for everyone in the world to understand even one ten thousandth of it. Therefore, after Edwine ate this fruit, the ability he gained was You can passively peek into a part of the future.”

"He will be bound to fate, and he will be able to sense any big changes if they happen."

"So, Vinicius, Edweed's notes should contain a lot of information about fate and the future. So... you must check it carefully."

Magik said seriously.

…

"..."

Looking at the notebook in front of her, Mary flipped through its yellowed pages.

Lines of writing passed before her eyes.

[1.28, Attila will accept me as his student. He is a very powerful person. As his student, I will definitely become a dragon emblem. 】

【2.14, you will know the plague. 】

…

[1.14, my mother will die, and I will "kill" my sister with my own hands. I need to contact someone to send my sister out. But there was no way to avoid the death of my mother. 】

[1.28, my sister’s paper of life is burned out, but she will not die completely and will rekindle. I want to continue to study with Attila and join the ruling class of the world government...]

…

Many of the previous ones are predictions about the future.

But it was only in the past year that the contents of the notes began to become different.

[Fate is chaotic, unprecedented... Everything has changed. 】

[My sister became stronger without any warning. But it doesn't matter, she...is here to take revenge on me? 】

[Justice...Justice, in this battle of Alabasta, you are still the same. 】

[Her actions and ideas are very dangerous, and both the world government and pirates will be targeting her. Before she can grow up, she will be strangled to death by an outside force. 】

[I want to help her, otherwise why would I have lived for so long? 】

…

[The battle to overthrow the world government's justice and end the darkness. This is a struggle destined to be fruitless. The darkness of human nature stems from desire, and desire is the root of everything. People without desires are not human beings, but people with desires must have a dark side. This is an act of earning a salary for everyone, but it will inevitably lead to death in the wind and snow. 】

[She still believes in kindness, and I understand that. So what should I do? 】

【——】

【Going your own way. 】

Go your own way.

These four large characters took up an entire page of paper, causing Mary's hand to rub the page to pause slightly.

[Yum’s fruit power, Attila’s domineering power, famine’s life-saving means, war’s unpredictability, and plague’s dehumanization...]

[The overbearing look of the four emperors, the natural ability of the general...]

【I don’t have any of these. 】

[These are unique talents, and I have only reached a similar level by relying on foresight. Vinicius's talents are only mediocre compared to mine, and it is impossible to defeat these monsters. 】

[Destiny is a dead end. The fate of the world lies in Nika. Every choice we make will only lead to darkness in the end. 】

…

[Vinicius is burning himself and showing more than just ambition in the war. 】

[With the establishment of the Desert Alliance, the faint confrontation with the World Government, and some recent changes in the Revolutionary Army, she is playing a big game. 】

[She is trying to use her own light to illuminate others and illuminate the road to despair. 】

[However, under the dark curtain of fate, this light cannot even illuminate a little distance ahead, which is better than nothing. 】

[This is fate, there is only one bright road leading to the end, only Nika. 】

[I will not agree with this fate. 】

【The more people who release their light, the more roads will be illuminated. No one knows whether this road will lead to death or survival until it reaches the end. 】

[If the end is really hell, then die together with the ideals. 】

…

[I felt uneasy again. Vinicius's speech at the investiture ceremony had made his position clear. And this has attracted Yin Mu's attention. 】

[I can no longer suppress Vinicius's edge. 】

[She couldn’t help but understand that what she did posed a huge threat to the world government and carried huge risks, but she still did it. 】

[She wouldn’t know what would happen to her if Yin Mu really took action in public. 】

[Of course, the irony is that maybe Yinmu did not recognize Vinicius's identity, but just regarded her as a rebel like Garp. And he, like me in the past, believed deeply in fate, so he was dismissive of Vinicius. 】

[And this disdain will be the turning point for everything. 】

[Let me use this disdain to give you a try. 】

…

[I don’t expect to change anything on my own, nor do I expect to defeat anything on my own. 】

[Fighting fate and eight hundred years, I am not so overestimated. 】

【This cannot be done by one person. 】

[Living for your ideals is more difficult than dying. Don’t die easily. 】

[Talent is the master of destiny. Letting ideas be passed down from generation to generation is the real struggle]

The strokes of the last word kept sliding down, down, until they were off the paper.

And this is the last paragraph of this notebook.

It is also the final work of Edved.

"Don't die easily. The person who said that died in front of me..."
