Chapter 117
Desert island, forest side.
Everyone in the Hundred Beast Pirate Group slowly retreated behind Kaido, who had always been expressionless, his eyes fell on Ping Xiao, and at the same time there was a strong momentum gathering around.
Ping Xiao’s eyes were indifferent, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he stood quietly in place, his body was always shrouded in invisible majesty and momentum, and Kikuichi Mun and Onimaru Kunigang were screaming at the same time.
“You’re strong!” Kaido slowly spoke: “But I have never heard that there is still a strong man like you on the Great Voyage!” ”
“I’m just a journalist, codenamed ‘Mozhou’.” Ping Xiao said lightly, his eyes were as flat as before, and there were no waves.
Hearing Pingxiao’s words, both Epidemic Quinn and Drought Jack raised their heads and looked at Pingxiao in disbelief. Even Kaido’s pupils contracted violently, of course he had heard the name ‘Mozhou’.
“Doflamingo’s artificial devil fruit factory, you exposed it!?” Kaido’s eyes were a little cold, and he slowly asked.
Ping Xiao did not speak, but shrugged helplessly and admitted.
“You also killed many of my subordinates!” Kaido clenched his mace and said with a solemn face: “Including my heaviest fire ember!” ”
“That has nothing to do with me!” The blade was lowered, Ping Xiao smiled lightly, and said indifferently.
“What!?” Plague Quinn and Drought Jack both showed angry looks and looked at Pingxiao with a dissatisfied look, but they were stopped by Kaido waving his hand.
“Are you saying you didn’t kill these people!?” Kaido slowly frowned, looked at Pingxiao and said.
“No, I mean these people are dead, it has nothing to do with me.” Ping Xiao sneered disdainfully, and slowly spoke: “It’s that they are not strong themselves, and they like to find death!” ”
As soon as Pingxiao’s voice fell, Epidemic Quinn and Drought Jack clenched their fists at the same time, even more indignant.
“Sometimes, it’s not good to be too arrogant!” Kaido’s eyes also completely cold, and he said expressionlessly.
“Is it!?” Ping Xiao still just smiled faintly, the fingers holding the handle of the knife tightened one by one, and slowly said: “Unfortunately, I am just stating the facts!” ”
“Then let me teach it myself!” Kaido’s voice was like thunder, with a heavy anger, the mace in his hand had been raised, and he spoke: “Are you really as strong as you say!” ”
Some kind of strong force burst out instantly, Kaido wielded his mace, and the power of Wanjun smashed towards Pingxiao.
Ping Xiao’s eyes were cold, and the momentum on his body instantly exploded, and his figure jumped up, and the blade was dyed red, slashing down.
The great war broke out in an instant, the strong momentum swept away, and wherever the power went, everything crawled on the ground, shivering!
……
“Ahem!”
In the dull air, a violent cough suddenly sounded. After waking up from the silence, when I opened my eyes slightly, I saw only a drowsiness, and there was almost no light.
There was no place in his body that was no longer in severe pain, and he didn’t need a little strength, and his hands and feet were chained.
At this time, in a trance, he seemed to see a tall and burly black shadow slowly walking towards him, and then, he was supported up by a pair of big hands full of rough cracks in his palms and slowly leaned against the wall.
“Ace.” A familiar voice sounded in his ears, but it was not as breathy as before, always with confidence, but a little low, and his tone was full of melancholy and sadness.
Ace’s eyes widened instantly, and he felt that he was covered in cold sweat, and an inexplicable sadness enveloped him.
“Old man!?”
Ace muttered, his eyes unconsciously becoming hot, and hot tears wet his eyes.
It was a dimly lit cell, and there was no light to reach it, only a faint light, barely able to see each other’s faces.
Acehun’s body was covered in dried blood, and the wound had coagulated, but it still looked shocking, and his limbs were covered with sea tower stone chains, looking extremely embarrassed.
Beside Ace, Karp sat quietly, his head hanging down, his body full of thick sadness and pain, and his gray hair was messy. He looked really old, no longer as spirited as before.
“Since you have chosen your own path, why not be careful!?” Karp muttered in a low voice, as if he was talking to Ace, and as if he was talking to himself: “Why should you be caught by the navy!?” ”
“Old man…” Ace couldn’t say anything, he didn’t even dare to look at Karp, just lowered his head, and large tears kept slipping.
“If only you became a naval soldier.” Karp’s voice was also choked, and he whispered: “If you are a naval soldier, grandpa can protect you!” ”
Karp’s tone was not reproachful, he was just sad, just remorseful. As a hero of the Navy, as a vice admiral of the Navy headquarters, how should he deal with himself in the face of his grandson who is a pirate, a grandson who has been imprisoned by the Navy!?
If you’re in the navy, grandpa can protect you.
Hearing this, Ace suddenly curled up and covered his heart tightly, wanting to try that it was still beating there!?
He didn’t feel sad, but his heart was empty, as if someone was beating his heart, but there was no feeling there, just a hollow echo.
Ace remembered when he was very young, when Karp was young, with broad and powerful shoulders and a great posture.
At that time, Karp always liked to lift Ace high, and then looked at the panicked Ace, laughed and said: “Don’t worry Ace!” Grandpa will protect you! Grandpa will train you to become a powerful sailor! ”
Ace lay down slowly, like a doll running out of electricity, he curled up in a ball, gritting his teeth desperately, but could not suppress the whimpering sound coming from his throat.
What those elders said to you, when will you remember it again!? To understand what kind of worry he had when he said that?! Understand what kind of expectation he had when he said that!?
Because he has experienced too many differences, he always looks very free and cheerful, he looks like a bad old man on the surface, but every time they meet, his heart is full of worry and fear.
He teaches you all his skills and abilities to make you strong, so that you can protect yourself, and he looks forward to it again and again, telling you his hopes.
But you didn’t pay attention to those, you felt that this old man didn’t understand himself, he always got in the way of himself and didn’t let you go your own way.
It wasn’t until you fell on your head and bruised all over your body that you found that this old man was really old, and although he was still proud and dry, his body was no longer tall, and his black hair had become gray.
When you really start to realize this, you feel sad, you learn to cry, you know what you dare not face.
The dim light entered the cell, and both Karp and Ace were silent, and faintly heard the slight crying.
