() "So it's you. Why, aren't you giving up?" Kurokas looked at the two people in front of him and said slowly, "As long as I live for a day, you will never touch a hair of the cloth."
"Rabu?" Nami asked after hearing what Kurokas said, "Is that the name of this whale?"
"That's right." Kurokas turned around and answered Nami's question, "The man and woman you rescued belong to an organization, and this organization is on a small island not far from here. They want
Capture Labu, because as long as they have Labu, they won’t need to worry about the source of food in two or three years.”
"Haha, that's right." I saw the man and woman getting up from the ground, each holding a mortar in their hands, "But old man, do you think we can't catch this whale? In this stomach
Make a hole! This whale will not survive! misswednesday, fire!"
"Yes, Mr. 9!" After the girl answered, the man and woman simultaneously raised their mortars and fired at the whale's stomach wall.
"No way!" Kurokas looked at what was happening in front of him anxiously, wishing he could fly out immediately to block the two shells. Just when he was about to do something, the shells had already arrived at the edge of the stomach wall, and in time
It exploded. "It's not very powerful." I stood in the air, holding Wadou Yimonji in my hand, "Luffy, knock those two guys out."
"Oh! Leave it to me!" "Pop!"
"Thank you." Kurokas thanked me after I returned to the boat. "If something happens to this whale, I don't know how to face those people."
"It's nothing, I just want to move around."
"Old man, those people are you talking about? Who are they?"
"This is the person who brought Rab to the Great Channel. Rab is not an ordinary whale. He is an island whale born in the Western Sea. It is the largest type of whale in the world. Rab is a common whale.
xing's whale, he followed a group of pirates from the Western Sea to the Grand Line. Originally, the group of pirates wanted Rab to stay in the Western Sea, but Rab still followed the Grand Line. Did you know? Island whales originally lived in groups.
Animals and island whales stay with their families throughout their lives. When I saw Rab playing happily with the group of pirates, I thought those pirates were Rab’s family. Later, because the Grand Line was too dangerous,
That group of pirates entrusted Rab to me. They agreed to visit Rab after they sailed around the Grand Line. I once boarded a ship and went to sea to look for them, but there was no news about them.
Rab has been waiting here for fifty years for that group of pirates."
"Fifty years!" Usopp exclaimed from the side, a dull expression appearing on his face.
"Where are those pirates?"
"Maybe they are all dead. After all, this place is the Grand Line."
"How...is it possible..." Usopp looked at Zoro in shock, really unwilling to believe what he said.
"Idiot, the Grand Line is not a children's playground." Sanji looked at the dull Usopp, and then said to him calmly, "On the Grand Line, anything can happen. There are pirates in the Grand Line every day.
There is a loss of life on the route, and it is not surprising that a pirate group was completely wiped out on the Grand Route."
"Okay, follow me, let's go out." Kurokas got up from the lounge chair and walked into the house. As the island slowly moved, we discovered that this island was actually a ship! Looking at it,
I always have a different feeling about the house in Koulokas. I have been here before, this is just a subtle feeling, I have been here before.
"Wow! It's out! The real sky! The real sea!" Luffy shouted loudly on the deck, and we followed Kurokas and docked the ship at the edge of Twin Capes.
"Old man, are all those pirates really dead?" Usopp ran to Kurokas and asked Kurokas excitedly, unwilling to believe the tragedy that happened to Rab.
"I don't know. But I already have evidence that they escaped from the Grand Line. It is impossible for Rab to meet them again."
"how come……"
"Is there a way for them to escape from the Windless Zone? Are they still alive?" Nami found it incredible what Kurokas said, because in her opinion, no one except the navy should be able to cross the Windless Zone.
"I don't know. But even if they are still alive, I don't think they will come back. Think about it, this place is the Grand Line. Seasons, weather, currents, and wind directions are all messed up. All common sense does not apply in this place. It's terrifying.
, will quickly fill the fragile mind with terror. In the face of life, everything can be abandoned, this is the Great Route."
"Are you saying that the pirates abandoned him for their own lives? Abandoned the whale that had been waiting for them for fifty years? Abandoned the Rab who had been waiting for them for fifty years?"
"Ah, yes. Reality is always cruel, isn't it..."
"Of course not." I interrupted Kurokas, looking at his dissatisfied eyes, I said slowly, "I don't know what happened to those pirates. But I would rather believe that they all died in the battle.
Yes, I don’t want to believe that they fled the Grand Line and abandoned this whale here for their own lives. There are still many good people in this world, and I always believe this. Moreover, you don’t want to believe it in your own heart.
, don’t want to believe that they will escape? Otherwise, why would you worry? If something happens to Rab, how will you face them?”
Kurokas looked at me in surprise. After I finished speaking, he fell into deep memories. After a long time, he said: "Exactly the same as that guy, you can actually say the same words as that guy. And
, you are just like that guy, ridiculously strong."
"Oh, old man, you actually know that Costa is very strong?" Luffy approached Kurokas and smiled happily, "Even when Costa is sleeping, I can't beat him!"
"Oh? Really."
"Speaking of which, old man, who is the 'that guy' you mentioned?" Nami looked at Kurokas and asked curiously.
"He is a man who has been abandoned by the world. What you all should know? It's Cohen. He and I are friends."
"Cohen!...Cohen!" Usopp shouted in surprise, "So good! Old man, you are actually friends with Cohn!!!"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"Cohen! He is the world's most wanted criminal! He is a being who can destroy the world! He is the kind of being who can make the whole world happy after his death!"
"Destroy the world? Why didn't I see it? The number one offender? It's true, but anyone who has been with Cohen for a while will not think that Cohen is a very dangerous person. Now! Yes, Raab!"
"Woo~~~~~~~~"
"So, when you said you went to sea, you were with Cohen?" Sanji looked at Kurokas curiously. I think at this moment, he must have been thinking of Zep.
"No, when I went to sea, I was with another man. According to Cohen, about thirty years ago, that day I was guarding Twin Capes as usual, but I found a figure on the sea not far away. I fished him out
, and brought him to my residence. After he woke up and exchanged names with me, I realized that what I had salvaged was actually the number one criminal in the world."
"Hey! Cohen hasn't done anything to you! After all, he is a very evil person!" Usopp ran to Kurokas. He took the latter's arm and looked around, wanting to see Kurokas.
Are there any traces on Locas? On the other side, Nami sadly fell into memories, seemingly recalling her past.
"Of course not!" Kurokas waved away Usopp's hand and said angrily, "I don't care how the world evaluates Cohen, and I don't care how you describe Cohen in front of others, but at least
In front of me, boy, you'd better show some respect to Cohen!"
I walked aside and leaned against the wall behind me, lost in thought. Was I really so unpopular with the world? Was I really that bad in the eyes of the world? Listen to those names, the world's No. 1
A serious crime, an existence that can destroy the world, an existence that can make the whole world happy after death... It sounds like he is majestic and capable enough, but who can know the pain of not being welcomed in his heart.
"Brother," Xiao Lu trotted all the way to my side. She sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder. "Don't pay too much attention to Usopp's words, okay?"
"Xiaolu, are you scared?"
"No. I only know that you are my brother, the best brother in the world!"
"I'm tired and want to take a rest. Wake me up when we go to sea, okay?"
"Yeah! Go to sleep and have a good rest."
When I was shaken awake, the sun was almost setting. Luffy and the others were already ready to go to sea, and there was even a Straw Hat Pirates logo painted on Rab's head. I looked at it and shook it.
Kuina woke up, got up and followed her to the Meili.
"Hey, can I ask, what did you do before?" When I passed by Kurokas, he stretched out a hand to stop me.
"I don't know, I've lost my memory."
"Have you lost your memory..." Kurokas looked at Guina beside me. Ina was very understanding, and she walked to the Melly by herself. Before leaving, she naturally said "
The Taoist text was handed into my hand. Kurokas looked at me holding the knife and said slowly, "Although the animals in the world cannot speak and cannot communicate with humans, they always understand everything around them.
It has a deeper sense than humans. Sometimes things that humans cannot judge, animals can easily judge. Whether it is disguise or anything else. You can't hide it from Rab...Cohen!"
"Qiang!" I instantly pulled out the word Hedao and put the knife on Kurokas' neck. In the distance, everyone on the Melly looked at me and Kurokas in surprise, not quite understanding why this happened.
These things. Ina walked to the Mellie alone. She didn't seem surprised by everything I did. "Carefully consider your next words, otherwise I can't guarantee where my knife will move."
"Can you save Rab again? The injury on his head is too serious. Although I can guarantee his health during my lifetime, but if I leave one day, who can help him?"
"..." I pulled the knife from Kurokas' neck, then groped for a while in my arms, and found a small bottle. "This is the last drop, there will be no more in the future..."
"You have changed, Cohen... From what I know of you, no matter how difficult it is, you will not be so indifferent. I hope that when I see you next time, you will be the same as before. The pirate group you belong to,
Maybe it can become a new round of sunshine in the East China Sea, and this sunshine will shine on this great shipping route. I hope that this sunshine can also gradually melt the ice in your heart. I will wait for you here, and I hope that in my lifetime, I
The well-known Cohen can once again come to Twin Capes, and can once again drink and talk with me all night long. That time I went to sea, I was not only looking for the Lombard Pirates, I was also looking for you..."
"If I have the chance, I will come back. With the memories of the past."
