Great Voyage: After decades of seclusion, the system is here?

Grand Line.

In an unknown island town.

"Lily, take this jug of wine to the old man."

In the tavern, a middle-aged woman handed a jug full of wine to a thirteen-year-old girl named Lily.

"Is it Grandpa Kearns?" Lily took the flagon, her eyes twinkling with stars.

With a doting smile on her face, the middle-aged woman stroked Lily's head and said, "Yes, that's the grandpa Kearns who often tells you stories."

"It's the Kearns old alcoholic who often drinks without paying, and only pays on credit." Also at this time, an inappropriate voice came.

The middle-aged woman and Lily turned their heads to look.

Then I saw a little boy walking over with his arms around his chest.

"Brother." Lily called softly.

The middle-aged woman on the side reminded: "Wright! You are impolite."

After being said by his mother, although Wright glanced over his head a little unconvinced, he didn't say much.

Lily looked at Wright and blinked, and asked, "Brother, do you want to go too?"

"No! I don't want to..." Wright paused, then coughed twice.

"Ahem! Seeing that you are a little girl and you don't want to come back for the drink money, I will reluctantly go with you!"

——

On the edge of the town, in a small wooden house.

Over half a century old, with gray hair, Kearns staggered to a table.

His face was ugly, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.

With trembling hands, he opened the drawer, and Kearns took out a bottle of painkillers, poured out a few pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

"Gulu~"

After doing this, Kearns propped up the table and sat down on the ground little by little.

After a while, Kearns felt that the pain in his body had eased a lot.

Standing up again, Kearns looked at his own weak and pale face in the mirror, and smiled silently.

Then, he opened the drawer again and took out a bandage and a jar of ointment from it.

Moving a chair, he sat down in front of the mirror.

Take off your shirt.

Kearns' emaciated body is on display.

There are also several scars on his body that are exposed together.

And the bandage wrapped around the waist.

Kearns deftly unwrapped the bandage, bit by bit.

Soon, the terrifying scar hidden under the bandage was also revealed.

I saw Kearns' right lower abdomen, which seemed to be missing a large piece.

The entire block was distorted, dented and collapsed!

With a skinny body and this hideous wound, it's hard to imagine how Kearns lived to this age.

Looking at the horrible wound in silence for a long time, Kearns opened his mouth slowly.

"It seems that I don't have much time left..."

Applying fresh ointment and a new bandage, Kearns put on his shirt, packed his things and left in front of the mirror.

Shortly after.

Kearns came to sit under the shade of a tree, enjoying the breeze while drinking a small wine.

Started to enjoy the peace.

It was not until a childish shout sounded that the peace was broken.

"Grandpa Kearns, I'm here to bring you wine~"

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Kearns saw two children running towards him.

"It's Lily!"

With a warm smile on Kearns' face, he whispered softly.

"Wine, Grandpa Kearns." Lily handed the wine to Kearns with a smile.

"Thank you." Kearns took the wine and rubbed Lily's little head lightly.

"It's not hard, I really like Grandpa Kearns." Lily smiled brightly.

But after she finished speaking, those big eyes looked at Kearns with a look of anticipation.

"Grandpa Kearns, tell me about the story you didn't finish last time?"

Kearns was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help laughing: "You little girl, why do you like listening to this kind of stuff?"

At this time, Wright who was following Lily also quietly moved closer.

But his back was turned to Kearns.

"Because it's interesting, so I like it!" Lily looked at Kearns and said as a matter of course.

Then I saw her sitting down beside Kearns, gesticulating.

"When I grow up, I want to be a Marine and arrest all those bad guys."

Kearns couldn't help laughing when he heard Lily's words.

"That's very dangerous. There are many strong people on the sea, and fighting is very painful."

When Lily heard this, she immediately hesitated about her dream.

But soon, she picked herself up again.

"When I grow up, I won't be afraid of pain."

Kearns laughed.

"Haha, Grandpa Kearns and I will be bored if Lily goes to sea."

"Yes." Lily was thoughtful, but soon she smiled and said, "Then I will go to sea when Grandpa Kearns is gone!"

Kearns was slightly startled.

The laughter got louder.

"Ha ha..."

It was also at this time that Wright coughed twice and reminded, "Old man, don't you want to tell Lily a story?"

Kearns turned his head and stared, "Stinky boy, no matter how old or young, how do you talk to the elders?"

"Grandpa Kearns~" Lily whispered.

Kearns turned his head to look at the sound, a smile reappeared on his face and said, "Okay, okay."

Wright looked at Kearns with some contempt, and complained, "Ah~ you nasty old man."

Kearns didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Where did you talk last time?"

"The Pirates are preparing to enter the Valley of the Gods." Wright continued.

"The Valley of the Gods...?" Hearing the name, Kearns couldn't help falling into deep memories.

After a while, I saw him laughing at himself.

Said with a long breath.

"All the members of the pirate group started to go to the Valley of the Gods. The deputy captain thought that everything was under control, and that knowing the future could change the future."

"Unfortunately, things backfired. He was wrong. He was very wrong."

"There, the pirates and Marine started a big battle, but it didn't take long for this huge war to start, and things exceeded the expectations of the vice-captain."

"His crew, just like the future he saw, betrayed the pirates and betrayed him!"

"Everything he has done has failed to take effect on the group of crew members who harbor evil intentions!"

"He failed to change the future."

"The crew have also left!"

"But the deputy captain was entangled and couldn't get out of the battlefield."

"Then, the captain of the pirate group died in battle, and the deputy captain was also seriously injured."

"That's the end of the story."

After speaking, a faint smile appeared on Kearns' face.

However, Wright seemed to have more to say.

"Didn't you say that the deputy captain was seriously injured? He didn't die, did he?"

Kearns turned his head and glanced at Wright, then looked to the sky thoughtfully.

"not dead."
