On the sea, two warships, one large and one small, were docked side by side.

The former is the West Sea battleship with the hull number, while the latter is the exclusive ship of Lieutenant General Orton of the headquarters.

At this time, on the deck of Lieutenant General Orton's ship, Brian asked Snow to hand over fresh lamb, fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, as well as Nasian specialty desserts, etc. to Lieutenant General Orton's adjutant.

Although Brian's souvenirs were very simple and not as luxurious as imagined, it can be seen that he was very thoughtful.

Because from the Grand Line, all the way across the windless zone, and then to the Western Sea, the supply points along the way were limited. Although they could go to the islands to replenish supplies, Kong urged Orton to take office in the Western Sea, so he didn't stop on the way.

The fresh ingredients on the ship had long been eaten by all the officers and soldiers on the ship, so since the morning before yesterday, Lieutenant General Orton had not eaten any meals made with fresh ingredients.

"Set the table and let the old man and I have a meal."

"Yes, Master Brian."

Under Brian's order, Snow quickly set the table and covered it with exquisite tablecloths and exquisite tableware.

As the orderly placed the wine, meat and fresh fruits and vegetables brought by Brian on the table, Lieutenant General Orton and Brian sat facing each other.

"You all go down. This is a private lunch time for the old man and I. We have some personal matters to discuss."

As soon as he sat down, Brian waved his hand to let the surrounding marines leave.

Lieutenant General Orton's adjutant hesitated.

Lieutenant General Orton nodded to the adjutant, and at the same time said to the surrounding navy: "Go back to the cabin first. Don't come out without my order. I just have some personal matters to talk to Brian."

After all the accompanying navy personnel left, Brian picked up the fresh wine, poured a glass for Lieutenant General Orton, and poured himself a glass of wine at the same time, and said: "Old man, count the time, from the time I graduate from the military academy, we will We haven’t seen each other for a year, five months and seven days.”

Brian wanted to open up the topic and talk about old times with Lieutenant General Orton first, but Lieutenant General Orton said very calmly: "Sure enough, Warring States was right, you will come to me in advance, and you want to persuade me to leave Xihai ,Is it right"

Brian did not deny it, "Yes, everything is as Sengoku expected."

Lieutenant General Orton stared into Brian's eyes and asked again: "Sengoku also told me that if I don't leave Xihai, you will get rid of me just like you got rid of Carl, right?"

Brian did not dodge Lieutenant General Orton's gaze, but looked at him and nodded at the same time: "Yes, Sengoku was right, but it's a pity that you are still here."

Lieutenant General Orton clenched his fists at this time. He was angry, not because Brian wanted to kill him and take over, but because he was angry that he did not lead such a genius on the right path, and that he had failed the navy and Brian's parents.

After about five or six seconds, Lieutenant General Orton continued to ask: "Is power really that important to you?"

Brian replied: "When I took the first step, it was like falling into a swamp. It would only sink deeper and I could not escape."

Bang Lieutenant General Orton punched the table hard with both fists. The tableware on the table was shaken, and when it fell down, it kept clinking.

The sailors who were hiding in the cabin were worried, fearing that the two would fight.

"Wake up, Brian." Lieutenant General Orton grabbed Brian's collar with one hand and spat in Brian's face: "Your parents are excellent navy, they can sacrifice themselves for justice and to protect their companions. "Excellent Soldier"

"Does that have anything to do with me? They are them, and I am me. We are just doing our best on the path we choose, that's all."

Brian's reaction made Lieutenant General Orton furious. At this time, Lieutenant General Orton punched Brian.

Brian didn't dodge and let the fist hit his face.

"Why not hide"

"Why don't you punch with all your strength? Don't you still imagine that I will change my ways and become a righteous marine again?"

"You are hopeless"

Orton punched again in anger, but this punch was much stronger than the previous one.

Brian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a chuckle: "That's right, if you want to hit me, you should use all your strength, but old man, you are old, go back and take care of yourself, and stop running errands for Sora and Sengoku. .”

"It's me who should say this. You should go back to Malinfando, reflect on your mistakes, and find the justice you abandoned."

While speaking, Orton threw another right punch. If he were young, his right punch would still be able to smash a hill. But now that he is old and weak, this punch was easily blocked by Bryan. .

Orton tried to free his fist from Bryan's hand, but Bryan's hands were like iron vices, gripping the fist tightly and unable to move at all.

At this time, I heard Brian say again: "Old man, before you lecture me, I want to ask you to listen to a story first, a story that I have almost forgotten, but this story is a bit long, I hope you can listen patiently."

"What?" Orton was stunned.

"Once upon a time, there was a boy who had an ordinary but warm family. His parents were just ordinary farmers. Since he was a child, his parents told him: Don't steal or rob, don't envy, and don't be jealous of other people. , because the world is fair, and as long as you study hard, you can change your destiny with your hands."

When he heard this, Orton became slightly impatient, because this story was too ordinary and had nothing to do with what they were going to talk about today.

"The boy followed his parents' education and studied hard. From elementary school to university, his grades were always first. The boy's dream is to be admitted to the civil service after graduation, so that his parents can be proud of their faces and display their talents at the same time. , contribute to the construction of our hometown and create happiness for more people."

"Then, the boy succeeded in becoming a civil servant through his own efforts. He worked seriously in his position, more seriously and diligently than anyone else, hoping to get recognition from his superiors and opportunities for promotion. However, he would not be flattery, nor would he be flattery. He didn't know how to beg for mercy, and his family didn't have the money to give him gifts. Therefore, he stayed in the same position for five years. For the whole five years, he was just a handyman who was at the mercy of others, while those colleagues who used the back door and spent all day doing nothing. , have become his leaders one after another.”

"Two more years later, in order to marry the boy and have children, the family spent all their savings and bought a house for the boy in the city. As a result, just after they moved into the new home, the boy's father was sent away because of overwork. After entering the hospital, they stayed in the corridor for more than a week and could not wait for the ward. However, the patients who arrived at the hospital later than them had already gone through the admission procedures and were admitted to the department's wards through gifts and their own connections. received more comprehensive treatment, however the boy's father"

When he said this, Brian turned around. Although his expression remained calm, tears fell silently from his eyes to the deck.

"What happened to the boy's father?" Orton vaguely felt that this story might be related to Brian, but Brian's parents were navy, and his grandfather was also a navy, which was completely inconsistent with this story.

"The boy's father passed away the next year because he delayed the best time for treatment. From that time on, the boy began to question his worldview and values, and at the same time hated his own incompetence. Do you think he should question and hate it?"

"This" Orton didn't know how to answer.

"So, you have never experienced despair and cruelty, but you talk about love and equality, and talk about justice. Do you think this is ridiculous?"
