Chapter 358 Suddenly a little timid
The climate on the Great Line changes rapidly. This is true for the paradise in the first half, and even more so for the new world in the second half.
This snow has no intention of stopping. Large snowflakes easily cover the ground and bury the flowers and plants.
The white world that should be mysterious and dreamy is dotted with dazzling red.
That was the blood spilled after the battle.
There are also places that are different from this white snow mixed with dazzling red.
There was no snow, just gushing flames.
"Why?" Iska squeezed the scar on his hand hard, his voice filled with despair as his faith collapsed, "Lieutenant General Delo...what you said...isn't true..."
There were shocking burn marks on her hands.
That was a long time ago... When she was a young child, her hometown was plundered by pirates.
The whole village was turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and her parents... died in that fire...
"Didn't it happen that pirates... set fire to my hometown..."
Iska looked at the man lying on the ground in front of him, his eyes gradually blurred by tears.
It was Major Delo who rushed into the fire resolutely and saved her from fainting from the fire and smoke...
"Have you forgotten your responsibilities? There will always be unavoidable sacrifices in upholding justice!" Delo stared at Ace, the pain burned by the flames on his body always reminding him that the enemy in front of him was difficult to deal with.
damn it! He just missed a sentence and was caught by this woman!
The fuel for his weapon has been exhausted, and the consumption of Haki cannot support him to continue fighting.
Aren't you willing to disobey orders and hunt down Fire Fist Ace?
This woman is crying stupidly over such a trivial matter at this time!
"my parents……"
"Major Iska! I'm just chasing down pirates!" Delo shouted sternly: "We can't let them escape, otherwise more innocent people will inevitably suffer misfortune!"
After hearing these words from De Luo, Iska completely collapsed.
She desperately covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, but tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably and fell down her face.
It was because of his admiration for Delo that Iska joined the navy when he grew up.
Whenever Isca sees these scars, he is reminded of his childhood.
He just didn’t want other children to have such painful memories in their hearts, so Iska vowed to catch all the pirates who did all kinds of evil...
Now, her life roadmap has collapsed.
Her painful memories were all brought about by the man she had admired since childhood.
"Stupid woman!" Delo stood up staggeringly, clenching his fists, "Your justice is really not worth mentioning! It is because of the existence of these pirates that this kind of battle is triggered! You still Don’t you understand? Iska!”
Delo's angry voice made Ace fall into silence.
Because what Delo said is right.
Even if some things didn't happen because of him, as he became a pirate, he would have to bear the infamy of the evil caused by other pirates.
Not all pirates are the good pirates that little girl said back then.
So... An Cai is determined to become a naval officer?
"It's because of the existence of these pirates! That the innocent people you call are involved in the battle! I'm just fighting bloody battles to complete my job of eliminating pirates!"
De Luo's voice became louder and louder, as if he was using all his strength.
"Pirates are extremely evil people who should not live in this world! As long as such guys are still alive, those innocent people must live in fear of pirates. In order to destroy these pirates! The necessary sacrifice is It’s inevitable! Major Iska! You should have realized this long ago!”
"Are you done?" Ace lowered the brim of his hat, and flames emerged from his hands. "The day I became a pirate, I didn't expect anyone to praise me as a good person, but you!" The heat wave surged toward Delo with the wind of the fist. Go, "What you are carrying is definitely not the justice that those who died inexplicably want!"
"Iska!" As the flames hit his face, Delo's voice still did not stop, "You are so cowardly that you are not worthy of justice!"
"Lieutenant General Delo!"
The navy who fell in a pool of blood was still unable to get up. They could only watch as Delo was engulfed in flames.
Aren’t cowards worthy of bearing the burden of justice...
Ace looked at the once high-spirited and confident Iska who was now in so much pain that he couldn't help himself.
"There is no one who is not worthy of justice. You are right, and so is he. The problem is the world."
He had known this kind of thing before.
Sabo said it, Ann said it too.
But he was not qualified to persuade Iska to come out.
It's like he can't get out.
"There is no fairness in this world, and the weak are not even qualified to talk about justice."
This was what he heard when chatting with the little yellow bandit several times by chance, and it also came from An Ping's remarks.
"Unless someone steps forward with a heavy burden and creates conditions for them to speak out for justice, it becomes their qualification to talk about justice."
The gangsters each had a pamphlet filled with Mo An's remarks.
"Since the original intention of becoming a navy is to prevent other children from leaving such painful memories in their hearts, you shouldn't have your faith broken because of such people." Ace also heard her talk about the experience of being chased by Iska so many times. After all this, "If you don't even know what justice you want to uphold..."
That’s really far from An!
The fallen marines wanted to shout, "What do you, a pirate, know!" Who are you to talk about justice in front of them!
But they have no way to say it...
Even if the pirate in front of them just killed their lieutenant general and the others...
Because it was this pirate who... saved them from the Jewel Tank Pirates and prevented more bloodshed from happening...
Their Lieutenant General Delois also failed in a sneak attack and eventually died.
And no matter how reluctant he is to admit it, what this pirate said... is correct...
"Brother Ace," Jinbei patted Ace's shoulder with some shame, "I didn't expect you to say such a thing..."
He still underestimated Ace usually.
"Ah..." Ace scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I also heard... what others said."
Snowflakes fell again.
A large amount of snowfall quickly buried the dazzling scarlet color just now, and the snow melted by the flames was once again covered with white.
"I...Major Iska..." The navy's voice was slightly trembling.
The weather was sunny when they came, and everyone was wearing short-sleeves.
After the battle, I didn't notice the cold, but now... everyone can't hold on any longer.
The warship had been damaged in the previous battle and they had a lot of wounded to deal with.
The people brought by Lieutenant General De Luo were also injured in the battle. The branch's support warships did not know when they would arrive. Officers were needed to negotiate with the participating countries...
However, the fighting has spread to the participating countries, and a large number of national guardsmen have been injured. Negotiations may be difficult.
"Oh!"
At this moment, a figure flew out of the thick snow and crashed into the burning corpse.
The flames instantly ignited his clothes, and the pirate who was still trying to pretend to be dead screamed in agony as he was burned by the flames.
"There is a cruise ship at the pier, and the medical reserves on it are very complete."
The woman's voice was accompanied by the rustle of walking on the snow, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Ace looked towards the source of the sound, and the moment his eyes met, he suddenly felt a little timid for some reason...
