Chapter 214 If You Haven't Seen the Light
At the Wharf of Fengche Village, several warships have been stored in the nearest branch at this time. Several Mesozoic pillars and Marshal Kong, with two fishing rods in hand, are sitting on the pier to catch fish.
"To be honest, this is the retirement life this old man wants. Shit world government, and I want to arrange a job for this old man."
As the first fishing friend to catch a fish, Kong is grateful that he doesn't have to be an air force today, but also complains half-truthfully. He wants to continue serving justice, but he also hopes to have a normal life as an old man.
Kong couldn't remember what it was like to live the life of an ordinary person last time.
He joined the navy when he was a teenager, and it has been ups and downs for decades. Looking back now, the earliest thing he can remember is the day when he got the navy admission letter and navy uniform.
Going forward, there are only some memory fragments left, even if you want to recall it, you can't recall it.
Hearing this, Zefa also nodded, but Garp waved his fishing rod violently, and said: "If the old man retires, he will find a boat and run around all over the world. Beat them home! Hahaha!"
Warring States said: "I haven't thought about retirement. It seems that I have been busy since I entered the navy. I became a general after being busy, and I have no time to think about retirement."
"Haha~" Kong put the fishing rod on the rod holder, squeezed Zhan Guo's shoulder, and said, "Do you know how to be a marshal?"
Hearing such a serious topic suddenly, Zhan Guo immediately straightened his back, and Crane also listened, ready to listen.
Looking at the Warring States Period, Kong said with a smile: "Being a marshal means finding the next scapegoat early and pushing him to the top. Do you understand why I started training you in the third year after I became a marshal?"
"???"
Zhan Guo's expression twisted, and Crane's face was speechless. Garp patted his thigh and laughed, and said, "According to me, it's best not to be a general, so you don't have to take the risk of being a marshal haha~"
Even Zefa, who was not interested in this topic, laughed when he heard this.
After Kong Yu finished speaking earnestly, he found that his fishing rod had moved a bit. He quickly grabbed the fishing rod and said happily, "Look, the fish has taken the bait!"
After some fighting, a fish that was enough to be one meter long was caught by Kong. Kong patted the fish with his broad palm and said, "A big and fat fish!"
"I am the fish."
Zhan Guo said sadly, but it is almost a foregone conclusion for him to become a marshal. Unless he betrays justice at this time, it is almost impossible not to be a marshal, but... Zhan Guo can't betray himself to betray justice.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and Zefa suddenly said: "That kid named Ace always feels a little familiar."
"Ka~"
After Zefer finished speaking, Garp's fishing rod suddenly broke. He put away the fishing rod in embarrassment, and found that everyone around him was paying attention to him, and explained: "Ace? The son of an old friend, he died, and the son was entrusted to I'm gone, and it's my grandson."
Hearing this, Kong grinned and cursed: "You old bastard, you raised your friend's son as your grandson! Hahaha~"
Few of them have ever doubted Garp's loyalty to the navy and justice, so they naturally don't preconceive whether Garp has adopted a descendant of a pirate.
Everyone was joking around at this moment, but Crane was frowning. Seeing this, Garp was a little flustered, and asked, "Little Crane, why are you frowning all this time?"
Crane shook his head and said, "Yesterday, that kid Ace sat on the side alone, which made people feel distressed. Just like Skyler who just came to Marlin Vandor, he was always afraid of disturbing others."
At this time, Zhan Guo also suppressed his smile, and said in agreement: "You didn't introduce yourself yesterday, so he must feel that he is left out?"
As soon as the two spoke, the rhythm began to change, and it turned into scolding Karp, saying that he didn't know how to show concern for the people around him, and talking about Drago.
If it was normal, Karp would definitely refute, but today he kept nodding.
"Are you going to have a barbecue on the mountain? The venue on Dadan's side is ready."
Hearing Skyler's voice not far away, Garp showed a relieved smile, looked at Skyler and said, "Let's go! What kind of fish are you fishing!"
With that said, Karp stood up, kicked the empty bucket, and waited for others to pick up his own bucket tacitly. There were more or less one or two buckets. Skyler also joked: "It seems that you are the only one who is the Air Force ah!"
"Get out! Get out! I don't want to fish!"
As Karp said, he walked towards the direction of Mount Korpo with unrecognizable steps. Kong and others also laughed, teasing Karp, and followed with a bucket.
Walking on the mountain road of Mount Korpo, Zefa said curiously: "There are many traces of traps on this place, but it seems that there are no new ones. The latest ones should have been a year or two ago. Why, there were bandits living here. ?”
Skyler was a little shocked by Zefa's keenness. Although she could probably guess it if she wanted to observe, she would definitely not have the instinctive observation and judgment of Zefa.
Schuyler glanced at the direction of the top of the mountain, but shook his head, and said: "The farmers on the top are raising sheep. They were harassed by bandits at the end of the uncertain thing a few years ago, so they had to set up these traps."
Zefa nodded, stroked his chin, and said, "Don't think about it, you must have helped solve it, ahaha~ you are indeed my best student."
After Schuyler finished explaining, the few people stopped thinking about it, and continued to walk up, and saw the place where the flock of sheep moved, as well as the workshop for milking and shaving, and they became more convinced.
Especially when they climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at Dadan and the others who were so scared that their hands and feet were shaking, they were even more convinced that these people were ordinary farmers, just a little ugly.
Dadan was so frightened today that he didn't even dare to smoke. He was so trembling that he introduced his "sheep farm" to Kong and others. After walking around, they found a lot of weapons, but they didn't care.
After all, according to Skyler, it is normal for these people to have weapons. After all, defense is innocent and correct.
Arriving at the barbecue place, Ace, Luffy, Bogart, and Nurkic are already waiting, and Makino is also there, making drinks with the method Nurkic taught her .
Sora and Sengoku looked at each other, and then, one sat next to Ace, and the other sat next to Luffy. Sora even began to ask Ace about his life experience and who his parents were.
But Ace opened his eyes wide and looked at Dadan in a dazed and helpless manner, just like Skyler, who was standing next to Dadan, also walked over at this moment, looking at Kong with complaining eyes.
Suddenly, Kong patted his head in embarrassment, yes, how can such a young child know his life experience, especially according to Karp, the father of this child has passed away.
Presumably in order to protect the child, no one else mentioned it.
Kong waited for others to stop talking about this topic, but Ace remembered this topic. Speaking of it, he didn't seem to have asked who his parents were.
He didn't care about it before, but now. With Luffy as his brother, Skyler as his aunt, and Garp. Forget it. In the end, he didn't think about it.
With these experiences, Ace began to have the impression of home.
Sometimes this is the case. If you have not seen the light, you can endure the darkness all the time, but once you have seen it, you will continue to want to find out.
But Ace didn't ask questions at this time, because he likes the feeling of being noticed now, and he doesn't want to destroy it.
