Ghost knife pirates of the pirate king

The smoke dissipated.

Behind the cannon, there was nothing, not to mention people, even the cage was gone.

"Where have those guys gone!?" Baqi said angrily.

The pirates under his command were silent, thinking to themselves, they must have all run away, is it possible that they are still here to fight with you?

"...Captain, they escaped, all of them escaped, carrying the cage..."

"How is that possible! It took five people to carry that cage here!" Baqi shouted, but in fact, he also accepted the reality that these people really ran away from under his nose.

"Damn it! This is a declaration of war with me. You must not let these four little bugs go!" Baqi strode to the edge of the rooftop and growled: "No matter what, find their way out and kill them all!" "

"who I am!?"

"Captain 'Clown' Buggy!"

"That's right! No one can play tricks on me like this!"

Just when mobilizing and boosting morale before the war, a discordant voice came, and a pirate hurriedly said: "It's bad, Captain, something serious is going wrong!?"

"Huh?" Baqi looked over with cold eyes, which frightened the pirate so much that he shivered, but he still had the courage to speak: "The key to the iron cage... is missing."

"Really?" Bachi smiled sinisterly, "Come out, Mochi!"

"Roar!"

A low roar sounded, and a huge figure gradually appeared in front of everyone. It was a majestic and ferocious lion, with its mane fluttering, but such a king of beasts was riding a people.

He was dressed strangely, covered in fur, and sitting on the back of a lion.

"Is it you who calls me? Great Captain?"

"Mochi, find them, and then kill them."

"no problem."

……

On a street quite far away from the pub.

boom!

Zoro's hand trembled, and he slammed the cage he was carrying to the ground, and then slowly dragged the iron cage and staggered away. The blood from the wound on his side was already flowing more and more, leaving distinct footprints almost all the way. .

"You will bleed to death." Charlotte's voice sounded slowly. He followed the two of them, holding his head, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Nothing to do with you."

Charlotte shrugged. He looked at the man's back and couldn't understand.

Can friendship really exist among pirates?Can you even give up your life for it?Could it be that these two are actually a couple?Charlotte thought with some malice, but she couldn't erase the scene from her mind.

……

10 minutes ago.

The rooftop of the tavern was filled with smoke.

"But you're still in the cage, how do you want to escape?" Charlotte just let people escape, and then he was taunting again, which was the same for a while, making people angry.

Zoro said coldly: "How about just carrying the cage away."

Charlotte looked at Sauron's wound. The wound was still making a popping sound. Every movement squeezed the blood vessels, and the blood had no intention of stopping the overflow.

When evaluating other people's levels, Charlotte has no way of seeing through the other person's overall strength. He can only simply judge the other person's physical strength. Therefore, leveling refers to pure physical strength, just like Moody.

So he had no doubts about Sauron's ability to lift this iron cage.

The only thing he wanted to know was, would he really pick up the cage and escape?So he opened his mouth to test: "With your current wounds, you may not die, but if you carry the cage, you may die miserably."

"Yes, your wound..." Nami's face turned slightly pale, watching Zoro's blood flowing, for fear that he would die in front of her soon.

"Shut up, I have my own way."

Zoro roared, grabbed the bars of the cage, lifted it up and put it on his shoulders. His knees suddenly bent, and the wound on his side suddenly tore open again, and blood poured out as if desperate, dripping all over his body. .

"Let's go!" Sauron gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and with a pop, the wound tore open, and blood arrows shot out, but he seemed to be unconscious, took steps forward, and jumped off the rooftop.

……

It couldn't be said to be shocking, but it also made Charlotte feel incredible. In his own imagination, if Zoro was replaced by himself, and Luffy in the cage was replaced by Lance, maybe Charlotte would escape without hesitation. , because it’s too much of a hindrance, and maybe both of them will die in this place.

Charlotte herself didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Instead of both of them dying together, it would be better for one of them to live.

This is not selfishness, but rationality.

Charlotte pondered, what exactly are pirates? Those who rob others are called pirates. Pirates only refer to thieves at sea, but what kind of pirates are they?

It is completely different from the pirates I have seen before, not to mention the profession, it seems that the species is different.

Maybe they're just simple idiots?A guy who goes to sea with a passion?

Thinking of the word idiot, Charlotte thought of something. The expression on her face, which had always been wearing a faint smile, changed slightly. She glanced around, and sure enough, the girl who was a bit green and a bit ghostly had disappeared at some point.

"It seems that when Sauron walked off the rooftop,

Gone…”

But when he thought about it, it didn't matter if the girl escaped, at least she wouldn't get involved. Thinking of this, he also had a headache, and he couldn't understand why he went crazy to save an unrelated person just now.

His left hand was still aching, but Charlotte noticed that the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

"Is my recovery power so strong?" Charlotte pondered for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Sauron dragging the cage again. He shouted: "Hey! You need to rest for a while..."

Before the sound of the word '下' came out, before the words were finished, poof!Zoro then knelt on the ground and remained motionless.

"Zoro!" Luffy yelled nervously.

Charlotte asked: "Is he dead?"

"Shut up... I can't walk anymore." Zoro lay on the ground, "Why did you follow me?"

"……interest."

"What kind of interest do you have..." Zoro said angrily, but he didn't bother to say more. If his body was not injured, this cage would be nothing, but now his body really can't support it.

"Observe humans."

"..."

I don't know whether he was speechless or didn't even have the strength to speak. Suo collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, and his voice was a bit weak, but his body was Even ordinary people would have bled to death long ago. He dragged an iron cage of unknown weight for such a long distance, and he was still "a bit weak".

"Charlotte, can you get the cage open?" Luffy suddenly asked.

"No."

"I see...it seems I still need a key!"

Silent for a long time.

"Why did you save us?" Sauron calmed down, looked at Charlotte, and asked seriously, "Since you haven't taken action, you didn't need to take action just now."

"Ah... I hit my head when I was a kid. Sometimes I do things without logic."

"Haha...cough!" Zoro laughed twice and pulled at the wound on his abdomen, gasping in pain.

"Then why do you want to save him? Without the key, we can't open the iron cage. If the man wearing a straw hat is still in this cage for a day, he won't be able to run far. In the end, it will only hurt you, and then there will be no one between you two. We can run away and go to hell together." Charlotte put her hands on her knees and held her chin, her tone did not sound serious, it was more like saying casually.

Of course, the sentimental statement of going to hell together is also intentional.

Zoro was silent for a few seconds: "Do you think so much before doing something?"

Charlotte said concisely and forcefully: "I will die."

The meaning of this sentence is self-evident. Charlotte is rarely impulsive, and even his seemingly impulsive moves are all calculated, except for Nami, who was really moved by an inexplicable throbbing. Apart from being prompted, I have never tried to do it with passion alone.

"Really?" Zoro reluctantly stood up. He glanced at Luffy, and Luffy looked back. The two of them showed a knowing smile. In this situation, he could not see any bond in Charlotte's eyes. , only the strong affection between the two can be seen.

Luffy said: "Charlotte, since you hate pirates, why do you still go to sea?"

"Going to sea has nothing to do with being a pirate, right? Do you have to be a pirate to go to sea?"

"But, shouldn't being a pirate be the dream of each of us? Taking risks on the sea, meeting each other, and being free."

"It's really not like what you would say." Charlotte laughed, but he still did not sit up straight, leaning on a wooden pillar, extremely lazy, "Free? Now I am also free, I will not obey I don’t think only pirates can be free under orders from anyone, even the navy, or whatever.”

Zoro interjected: "If you hold this idea, you will soon become a pirate... Because, on the sea, no one can be truly free except pirates."

"Hey... you seem to be very experienced." Charlotte will not be convinced so easily. Maybe what he does is the same as a pirate, but if he doesn't admit that he is a pirate for a day, then he may be a criminal , but not a pirate.

Zoro didn't speak anymore, his eyes slightly blurry. With his character, although he is relatively reserved and low-key, he is also a guy who yearns for inner justice. If the road is not smooth, he will definitely draw a sword to help. He knows that on the sea, this kind of character will definitely Offended many powerful people.

Because you have violated the rules set by this society. Is it wrong for a powerful person to insult a weak person?Morally, it is naturally wrong, so Sauron will prevent this from happening, but in the order maintained by this powerful man, is it wrong?

No, so Zoro was at fault.

So he became a pirate because of what he had experienced.

Zoro is not an idiot. He has spent more time at sea than Charlotte and Luffy combined. He is more familiar with the rules of this world.

He took a deep look at the young man sitting on the side, looking unmotivated and looking somewhere, with a faint smile on his face. Even though they had only met for a short ten minutes, he could not tell from the other person's expression. From his actions and words, it is easy to tell that he is the kind of person who will not allow himself to be wronged, even verbally.

That's why it's easier for him to become a pirate.

He will not wrong himself, nor will he forcefully change himself in order to cater to others. This kind of person, in this well-ordered world, is like an alien, a rampaging alien, and will not be accepted by others. His path is only There will be one thing left, completely breaking away from this rule.

Pirates are such a path.
