Chapter 685

"The autumn waters of the Kamogawa River are dry~The sound of the beach is weeping and the bells are swallowing~The dry willows can't bear the autumn wind~Weeping tonight and the night is wet~"

On the guardrail of a giant ship that looked like a white whale, Yizang in a bathrobe sang in a low voice with a long tone. Perhaps not many people like this type of singing.

After all, what is popular now is the rock and roll of Brooke, the king of soul, or Uta, the new world singer. This song of the old and the young is the current mainstream.

But on the boat, several people kept crying along with Yizang's gentle tone.

Not far away, the pineapple-headed Marco with his hips on his hips looked at this scene with extremely complicated eyes. He looked at Yizang and several visitors with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

Those few guests who claimed to be guests from Wano Country who came here after twenty years, told very touching stories, and Yizang also confirmed the authenticity of what they said.

But Marco just couldn't move himself, because in the past two years, he had seen too many partings of life and death. His father, brother, and these close relatives died in front of him one by one.

At the same time, after the incident two years ago, many brothers chose to leave their homeland, whether they chose to be independent, or left their homes to seek revenge from the navy, in short, the brothers who left also lost news one by one.

Marco saw all of this, and he remembered what his father had complained to him more than once, that is, there was no "Katakuri" among his children.

At that time, Marco could still use his father's protection of them as his own psychological excuse. Even Whitebeard said more than once that he would die, and he should die before their children.

More than once, he expressed his concern about the situation of his sons after his death, but Marco at that time never listened to it, and devoted himself to building the Whitebeard Pirates into a happy and beautiful family.

But the fact is that they are not qualified to have the happiness and beauty that other families should have, because... before the final battle, Dad has made it very clear that they are pirates, and everything they experience is called adventure.

No matter what the reason is, whether it is voluntary or forced, from the day they decide to go into the sea as thieves, they are doomed to lose their qualifications for happiness.

It's just that people always like to deceive themselves, whether it's a fluke or not daring to face it, when there is an opportunity, Marco has never thought about how to support the Whitebeard Pirates after his father's death.

The result is that there is no one in the Whitebeard Pirates. Even the father's funeral needs a junior to organize it. Even... If it weren't for the "sympathy" of the navy who had been against their father for decades, they would not even There is no living land now.

The reason for such embarrassment is that among these children, none of them "Katakuri" stood up. The consequence of this is that they can only watch their family members disappear one by one.

"Oh~"

Marco let out a long sigh, and walked towards Yi Zang, who choked up a few times and couldn't continue singing. Marco didn't avoid the guests, but looked at Yi Zang, and asked straightforwardly:

"Izo, do you really want to return to Wano Country? I don't want to hold any more funerals."

Hearing what Marco said, Yizang wiped away his tears, raised his head, and looked not far away at the big tombstone on the cliff next to the island, and the naginata standing beside the tombstone, with a complex expression on his face, and said:

"Marco, every month in the future, I will send a letter back. If I haven't sent a letter, maybe I am greedy to find my father."

"We can hardly even pay for the newspaper. Maybe you sent the letter, and we will miss it?"

"Then, please visit Bista for me every week, I don't want to see him in disgrace."

Yizang continued to look in the direction of the huge tombstone, and behind the huge tombstone, there were also small tombstones. Every name on the door was once a family member.

It's just that I can't see them anymore, at least not in this world. If there really is an underworld, then maybe there is still a chance to meet each other?

Marco looked at Yizang, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid I'm not that diligent. Let me go with you this time. I don't have any patients recently."

"Challenge Kaido? My call is to return to my hometown, and your call is to die in a foreign land."

Yizang said jokingly, Marco put his arms around Yizang and said, "We are brothers, you can fight for a place for me."

"Hahaha~"

Yizang smiled, but the tears in his eyes did not disappear. Just a few of them, going to Kaido was definitely looking for death, but Marco knew this, but he still wanted to go with him.

For a while, Yi Zang didn't know what to say, should he say that Marco was stupid? If Marco is called stupid, then there is no smart person in the Whitebeard Pirates.

After laughing, Yizang rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palm, and said, "Fortunately, you gave me a private space to meet guests. Otherwise, when Dad asked why everyone went to him, I don't know how to answer."

At this time, there were no other members of the Whitebeard Pirates on board. Marco had driven them to the island before, on the grounds that they reunited with old friends from Tibet and did not need them to be an eyesore.

Marco smiled with Yizang, and then said: "Actually, it's not impossible to pull Kaido off the horse."

Hearing Marco's words, Yizang's heart skipped a beat, and several people on the deck suddenly raised their heads to look at Marco, and Yizang's rationality told him that this was almost impossible.

But Yizang was looking forward to it, looking forward to really being able to avenge his former lord, friend, and compatriots, so he looked at Marco enthusiastically, expecting him to say a way.

Under the watchful eyes of Yizang and several other guests from Wano, Marco rubbed his pineapple head and said with a smile, "Why are we able to survive until today?"

Hearing Marco's question, he opened and closed his mouth several times to hide, and finally told the "truth": "Navy's charity."

Yizang's straightforward answer stung Marco's heart a little. The smile on his face subconsciously subsided, but he also nodded.

Although this answer sounds very sad, it is indeed a fact. Without the charity of the navy, when Schuyler led the navy to sweep the sea area that belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates more than a year ago, he would not deliberately bypass it.

And even if the navy brought the sea area of ​​the original Whitebeard Pirates into its jurisdiction, it has hardly been close to this sea area, because this is the last dignity left to them by the navy.

But this does not mean that the Navy has completely forgotten their Whitebeard Pirates, or pardoned the remaining survivors of their Whitebeard Pirates.

As long as the members of the Whitebeard Pirates left this sea area, the Navy should still catch and kill them, but as long as the members of the Whitebeard Pirates did not leave, the Navy would treat it as if they hadn't seen it.

Because of this, Marco thought of a way, when the Whitebeard Pirates had no influence and no reinforcements, they pulled in a support team out of thin air to help defeat the Beasts Pirates.

The reinforcement Marco said: "Do you think our ships can drive us from a certain naval base to Wano Country or Ghost Island before we are killed by the Navy?"

"Who knows? Try it?"

At this time, Yizang also understood Marco's thoughts. For Marco's daring idea, Yizang did not resist. He took out a flintlock gun with his left hand, and grabbed a Vista saber with his right hand.

Or rather his current saber.

Yizang looked at the ignorant people on the deck, and said, "Hey! Kanjuro, Raizo, Inuarashi, Mobashi, do you want to go to the navy with me to make a big fuss?"

Kanjuro and Raizou, who didn't know what the navy is, nodded. They came to this era after twenty years, just to restore the country, and they are not afraid to be enemies with anyone.

But Inuarashi and Maomushi fell silent. Maomushi held a pipe in his mouth and kept sucking. Judging from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he did not support it.

Although he has not been in contact with the navy many times, he has also been in contact, and the navy he has directly or indirectly contacted are all their fur tribes, or friends of the fur tribes.

For example, Pedro, who had been in the navy for fifteen years, was sent out by him to search for the historical text, and Bepo, a child who had spent more than half of his time in the navy.

The other navies have indirect contact through these tribesmen, such as Lieutenant General Skyler, who, according to Pedro, saved them, helped them grow, and realized the value of life.

As well as young human beings such as Ace and Luo who grew up with Bepo, from the population of Pedro, Bepo and others, the navy is a good person, and is also very strong, so strong that even the white beard and the big mother were killed .

Is it really a wise way to offend the navy at the time when it is necessary to preserve combat power and prepare to deal with the Hundred Beasts Pirates? Maybe you don't need to think about it, this is a very unreliable approach.

It seems to drive tigers to devour wolves, but if you are not careful, you will become a sheep into the tiger's mouth, or you will be attacked by the enemy. It would be good if you can really seduce the navy to deal with the Beast Pirates.

What if they were arrested as soon as they reached Navy waters? It is very sad and ridiculous to die before leaving the teacher, and the cat viper does not want to be a part of this.

Seeing that Mao Viper and Inu Lan hesitated, Lei Zang asked eagerly, "Do you have a better way?"

Asked by Lei Zang, Mao Viper and Inu Lan didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, Inu Lan said, "Perhaps draw it slowly."

"What Mrs. Shi said was twenty years from now, how long do we have to wait?"

Lei Zang asked dissatisfiedly, Mao Viper took a sip of his pipe and said, "Have you experienced twenty years? Or do you think we don't know the pain of waiting?"

After Mao Viper finished speaking, Lei Zang was unable to refute. Compared with others, they had no reason to wait for twenty years, because they had never waited at all.

But unlike others, waiting will wear down a person's will and make them less enthusiastic, but Lei Zang has just returned from twenty years ago, and his will and enthusiasm have not faded in the slightest.

That's why he seemed more eager than others, but this was not the reason for him to blame others, so Lei Zang could only keep his mouth shut with resentment.

Marco also saw that several people disagreed, and said: "Anyway, what the navy values ​​is the lives of Yizang and me, so we can just let the two of us draw the anger of the navy.

And if only the two of us act, it will be more flexible. After all, it is very strenuous to pull five people to fly. "

Hearing this, Izo also nodded. To the navy, whether it be Leizo, Kanjuro, Inuarashi, or Maomushi, they are all strangers.

Even if they attack the naval base, the navy will conduct intelligence investigations before pursuing them, which may delay a lot of time, and even in this special period, they are too lazy to pursue them.

But he is different from Marco. There are many people in the navy who want to kill them, and the heart to kill them is also very enthusiastic. It only needs a little provocation, and the navy will be dispatched.

After Lei Zang heard the words, he showed a bit of shame, because the founding of the country was not necessary for Marko and Yi Zang.

Marco is a complete outsider, purely for help, and Izo has been away from Wano Country for decades. At that time, Oden chose to return to Wano Country, while Izo chose to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates. Said and left.

Now it is a shame for these two people to offend the navy, which sounds very powerful, for Wano Country's founding plan that has been waiting for twenty years. This is really a shame for them as retainers.

"I'll go with you."

Lei Zang still couldn't accept the help of Marko and Yizang with peace of mind, he was the one who was entrusted with important responsibilities, even if he had to take risks, he must not lag behind others.

At this time, Kanjuro also said a little weakly: "I. I will accompany you, at least when you are escaping, I can help you a little bit."

Hearing that both of them said they were going, Yizang smiled, but Maomushi and Inuarashi became more serious, because the more people going, the more people might be in danger.

They are not afraid of injury, or even death, but the most important thing now is the founding of the Wano country, and if they want to complete the founding plan, the injury of every person may become the direct cause of failure.

However, everyone chose to go, and even outsiders like Marco were willing to help them at the risk of their lives. As people directly related to them, they remained indifferent. It was really...too disloyal.

The two fur kings who had fought against each other in Zou for 20 years looked at each other, and Momomushi said: "Since we both choose to go, let us add the two of us, we are not people who sit back and enjoy it! Of course, Inuarashi may be .”

"You are!"

When Quanlan heard that the cat viper was at this moment, he still dared to be angry with himself. A vicious dog rushed to eat, directly pressed on the cat viper, and opened its mouth to bite.

Cat Viper is not a vegetarian either. Turning over, his plump body sat directly on Inu Lan's body, and his sharp claws popped out, scratching at Inu Lan.

Seeing the actions of these two people, Yizang smiled even more happily. He could feel the resentment and disappointment in the hearts of Maomushi and Inuarashi after a long wait.

This makes them hesitate even when faced with the opportunity to found a country at this time. Now as long as they vent it, there will be no more hesitation in the follow-up.

Yizang turned his head to look at Marco and asked, "Then which naval base are we going to attack?"

"GN-25!"

Marco also grinned, looking in the direction of the GN-25 base, Yizang's smile froze instantly, because the base chief and detachment officer of that base were the murderers who killed their father.

Seeing Yizang's expression at this time, Marco shrugged and said, "By the way, and she is the only one who is the most likely to kill Kaido, isn't it?"

"But can we really escape?"

Yizang asked in a trance, if what Marco said was not GN-25, Yizang would not have any doubts, even if it was to attack the Navy headquarters, he would agree.

But only there, or Skyler guarding there, made Yizang unavoidably suspicious, but Marco said with a smile: "She doesn't seem to be in the base anymore, we just need to let her know about it.

What's more, even if Skyler is here, it may not be impossible for her to succeed. She is a very greedy person. If she knows that she can not only kill us, but also have a reason to wipe out the Beast Pirates, she will definitely Will not refuse.

It's just that for a long time to come, we will bear titles like traitors to the sea, but... I don't care, do you? "

Yizang looked at Marco, stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "Who cares about being a serious pirate?"

"Haha~"

The United Navy, attacking other pirates will definitely damage their reputation, especially the emperor of the sea, but... do they have a reputation? Two years ago, they had lost everything.

They have nothing left but one life, so why worry?

At this time, Skyler, who was missed by them, was already on his way to Wano Country.

The speed of the warship is not fast, because it has to take care of other ships. Of course, Mihawk's coffin boat is no longer within the scope of care, because his coffin boat has long been "collected" by the warship.

It's just that the ships of Nine Snakes, Straw Hats, Drake and others are not that fast, and there are too many people, and the warships can't accommodate them, so they can only slow down to cooperate with them.

Mihawk was on the deck of the Zanya Detachment at this time, tasting the snacks made by Drake and Sanji for their cooking competition, while chatting with Skyler.

Mihawk looked at Skyler, who was chatting heartlessly and smiling, and asked, "Won't you be affected?"

"Is it affected? There is still."

Schuyler heard what Mihawk was asking, combed his blown long hair with his hand, looked at the sea, and said: "It is impossible for a ship to collapse in the sea that surrounds it, and neither should people collapse in the outer world." mood."

"External emotions? So that's how you understand it."

Mihawk said with emotion, Skyler nodded and said, "I am me, not anyone else."

"Indeed, you are the most special you who you will not be."

Mihawk picked up the wine glass and made a gesture of toasting, which was very casual. Skyler also raised the large cup of fruit tea in his hand, and lightly touched the table, just as casually.

Not far away, Brook was playing the piano, while Luffy was lying on the piano. Although his movements were distorted, his expression was quite enjoyable.

When Brook finished playing and was thinking about what to play next, Luffy opened his eyes and said, "Brooke, why don't you come to my boat? Even Ace has a musician, but I don't have one."

"Yo ho ho ho ho ~"

For those who appreciate his own music, Brook never speaks harshly to each other, and will try his best to meet the needs of the audience, but... Luffy's request is really inappropriate.

Brook scratched his afro, and said, "Luffy, I already belong to you, maybe I knew you before I met Mrs. Chief, and we will have a good adventure.

But I really can't be your musician now, maybe you should find someone younger, after all, my heart can no longer bear the rhythm of adventure.

No, I don’t have a heart anymore, oh oh oh oh~”

"Yo ho ho ho ho ~"

Luffy imitated Brook's laughter and laughed too. Later, Luffy changed from lying down to standing up, touching his chin with his left hand, as if he was thinking, and murmured:

"Younger musicians? Ace, that guy, definitely won't let Dius give it to me"

Brook heard Luffy's words and said with a smile: "Perhaps you shouldn't focus on people who become other people's musicians. Now in the sea, aren't there musical geniuses who think they have no destination?"

"Really? Who is it?"

Luffy asked curiously. Brook was a little confused. After all, Uta's reputation should not be weaker than him. Even after he bid farewell to the concert, Uta's influence has been surpassed by Uta. Luffy doesn't know him. It's true that he shouldn't ah.

"Uta, the singer of the world."

But Brook still answered for Luffy. After all, Brook thinks that Luffy loves music, although it is strange not to know Uta.

"Uta." Luffy's face became more thoughtful, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "Uta! Isn't she Shanks' musician? I remember when she was in Windmill Village, she said she wanted to be Shanks' musician."

"???"

Three question marks condensed on Brook's bones, when did Uta get involved with the red-haired Shanks? And why does Luffy's tone sound familiar to Uta?

Brook asked, "You know Uta?"

"Of course I do! She's Shanks' daughter!"

As soon as this remark came out, the deck of the warship fell into silence. The navy on duty, Perona, Drake, Sanji, Usopp and others who came to the ship, as well as Mihawk and Skyler who were chatting , all stopped.

Looking at Luffy in disbelief, Brook asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course! Before Shanks came to Windmill Village, he brought Uta with him."

Luffy said with a smile, Mihawk suddenly smiled and said, "So it's Uta."

Skyler also adjusted his glasses, and said, "You really deserve to be the captain of Jesus Bu. It seems that abandoning wives and children is a custom of the red-haired pirates."

Usopp who is studying with Reiser: "???!!!"

Somewhere in the new world, Shanks just woke up from a hangover, his complexion twisted, his mouth opened wide, and then...

"Hatch!"

This sneeze seemed to have a strong contagious effect. Jesus cloth followed closely, and many people sneezed immediately.

"Hatch!"

"Hatch!"

"."

Shanks rubbed his nose, looked around with misty eyes, and said, "Have we reached Winter Island yet?"
