The Pirate Incarnate as Thunder

Chapter 441 Farewell

Chambord Islands, No. 22.

In the ticking, ticking white ward, what Joey saw when he opened his eyes was slowly dripping liquid.

"It's a matter of time"

“Until night at most”

Joey turned his head after hearing the sound, and saw Reg in a white coat. He forced a smile and said, "Just talking for a while, that should be enough."

"Drink a glass of water first"

Reg carefully helped the old man to shake the hospital bed, poured boiling water on it and blew it on a few times. Joey, who had never been taken care of before, frowned at first, and then relaxed: In a situation like his, where even moving is a luxury, how stubborn is he? Whatever energy comes, just let it go.

Gudong, Gudong. Swallowing could no longer be done easily on weekdays, but now it has become extremely difficult.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Joey felt that his burning throat was much better: "Ahem, it's been five years since you left."

"Um"

Reg, who sat down, answered softly, feeling a little depressed. He could remain indifferent to the death of others, but after all, the old man in front of him had given him a lot of guidance, which had saved him from many detours in his life.

"Don't be sad. This is my own choice. Everyone will die from the moment they are born."

There was a look of nostalgia in Joey's eyes as he spoke comforting words, and Reg nodded: "What you said about the reincarnation of all things is an inevitable result. Teacher Joey, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"My wish haha."

Joey murmured and laughed at himself: "I'm just like you. I've been an orphan since I was a child. I've been walking in darkness all my life. I wanted to spend my later years on the island peacefully, but I didn't expect that I would still receive a difficult task. This is probably karma. Bar."

Reg puzzled: "Why do you have to obey my words? You are so powerful."

"What about you, little guy? Why do you want to leave resolutely? We didn't teach you this, whether it's Colin, me, Joe, or Lao Zi, who is usually not upright."

Joey, who had talked a lot, had a searching look in his eyes. When he heard about Reg's death, he felt sorry for a while, but who would have thought that when this kid showed up again, he would transform into the master of a country, and even sign an agreement with the World Government? The agreement between the king and the Shichibukai.

"There are too many things involved for me to answer you."

Reg did not use the old "revenge" talk to prevaricate the old man, but refused with an apologetic look.

"It involves too much"

When Joey saw this, he didn't ask any questions: "I promised others that I would serve the World Government all my life, even though I know very well that it has many disadvantages."

"But what I didn't expect was that Colin would have a chance for revenge."

"Teacher Colin, he is taking it lightly."

“But I still can’t let go.”

Joey, who had regained some strength, stopped Reg's help with his eyes, stubbornly sat up, turned around to sit opposite Reg with a pale face and sweating profusely.

This scene made Reg silently realize that this is the character of the old man. He would treat every student on Tallinn Island seriously face to face.

Gabra was once overwhelmed by this kind of seriousness and responsibility. After all, he was relatively stupid and was often called by the elderly to make up lessons, which forced him to bite the bullet and memorize by rote.

"It's already part of a teacher's life."

"There is no such thing as a bad combination of people. We will always do what we want to do for one reason or another, just like Spangdine."

Joey's example made Reg look strange: "That guy's words"

"He just acted a little more exaggerated, and we just acted a little more restrained. There is essentially no difference."

""

Unable to refute, Reg could only scratch his head. He didn't talk about good and evil or principles. This would only attract the old man's contempt.

"Haha, you seem very distressed. Let's talk about what happened after you left."

Joey, who smiled, felt that time had returned to the past. Reg, who was listening quietly, sometimes nodded, sometimes said a few sighs, and time flew by unknowingly.

When the orange sunlight of the setting sun passed through the glass and reflected on the windowsill, he seemed to feel something. Joey, who was talking about sex, took the initiative to stop.

At this moment, Reg's nose felt sore. The old man at this moment did not have the ruthless chill he had shown when he fought against Rayleigh before.

They had just talked about Feiz and Ada who died, and the old man also sighed and felt sad about their deaths.

They also talked about Elaine who always loved to hold him in her arms. The old man teased him about how he always avoided the girl "ruthlessly".

Of course, I have not forgotten Gabra's clumsiness, Nuki's weird singing voice, Lucci who is currently in the tower and vows to chase him hard, and the big-mouthed Otonashi "Owl", who is still a little loli, but always... Khalifa who says "You are harassing" to the men she talks to, etc.

Elder Joey remembered every person, every terrain, and every scenery in the Ninth Tower. He was not exempt from vulgarity. In the last days of his life, he recalled these beautiful things.

In this wordless silence, the fluctuation of Joey's life also began to gradually decline. Reg, whose eyes were red, wanted to say something, but was stuck in his throat and couldn't say it: he could never go back to the past, because they had different feelings for each other. Positions and Beliefs.

"So this is death."

The old man who broke the silence deeply felt this complex and inexplicable emotion. His hunched body slowly straightened up: "Reg, tell me what you insist on."

"Kill Auntie"

""

The old man, who was not satisfied with this answer, stared at Reg and his wife with piercing eyes.

Reg closed his eyes and after confirming that no one was nearby and there was no radio signal, he opened his eyes again and slowly said: "The abolition of slavery will drag the Tianlong people down from the altar."

"Marie Gioia's Slave Revolt"

""

"I see, so your country rejects slavery."

""

"You are as brave as ever to be the first. This is a secret that cannot be told."

Reg's silence made Joey shake his head in shock. This was all caused by curiosity.

In his life, he has met countless people and taught thousands of students, but the only time he made a mistake was with Reg, so he asked the question just now.

"Teacher Joey, have a good trip."

Reg stood up against the last lingering shadow of dusk and bent down deeply. The time was up.

Joey, who was in a state of emotional confusion, smiled happily during this bow. It was not bad to have such a farewell.

"Be careful of the people on the throne of the Holy Land looking for the fruit of the operation. Only by gaining eternal life can you have it."

At the last moment of his life, he heard Reg's "unspeakable secret", and Joey also gave him the same secret, although this was something Reg already knew.

"Thank you, Teacher Joy."

At the moment when the old man's life passed away, tears welled up in Reg's eyes when he raised his head. This farewell was truly a farewell.
