Chapter 36 Courage
"You...kill him..."
The naked and scarred woman looked at the Tianlong man lying in a pool of blood with a horrified expression. Her voice trembled and her face turned pale as she looked at the spreading blood.
She only felt that everything in front of her was extremely unreal, like a dream.
"You...killed the Tianlong people..."
She murmured over and over again, reaching out and touching the blood flowing on the ground, feeling the warm touch of the blood.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile little by little.
"You killed him..."
The smile gradually turned crazy.
"Hahahahaha!!! You killed him!!"
"He's finally dead!!"
"Hahahahaha..."
The woman laughed happily, but her eyes gradually oozed with bloody tears.
"He is finally dead...wuwuwu..."
She choked up and finally broke down crying.
Darren looked at this woman who was laughing and crying, with a crazy and twisted expression, and his eyes couldn't help but droop.
"you're free."
he said.
"free?"
There was unspeakable bitterness on the woman's face, and she turned around slightly, allowing Darren to see her naked back.
On the back, the bloody mark of a "flying dragon's hoof" was extremely dazzling.
"How can I be free in this world?"
She raised her head and smiled at Darren.
The smile was a little calm, even liberating.
"Thank you, Lord Marine."
She climbed up with difficulty, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Darren sincerely.
"I have no reason to live anymore. All the people I cherish in this world have died in his hands."
"Please do what you have to do."
Darren gave her a long look.
He saw the stubborn will to die in her eyes.
He didn't know what she had gone through and how long she had been tortured by Shields Saint.
But he has always adhered to a principle.
Don't judge other people's lives easily unless you have personally experienced the pain others have experienced.
"I see."
"Well, have a good trip."
After saying this, Darren turned around without hesitation and walked towards the outside of the cabin.
The woman knelt on the ground, watching the navy captain's retreating figure, and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
Her eyes were no longer dull and numb.
A bright, warm smile slowly spread across her blood-stained face.
Like a flower that grows and blooms tenaciously on a cliff.
"Thank you, thank you very much... Lord Marine."
"If I survive, it will be very inconvenient for you..."
She pursed her lips and smiled.
Slowly picked up the golden pistol on the ground.
Bang bang!
She gritted her teeth and fired twice at the Tianlongren's body.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to accompany you."
Her smile was as bright as a flower.
The gun was pointed at his temple.
She kept the last bullet for herself.
…
boom!
There were gunshots and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, but Darren's footsteps did not pause at all.
He is not the Holy Mother.
It is impossible to force a person who is determined to live and die to muster the courage to live.
She didn't have a choice before.
But now she at least has the freedom to choose to die.
Suppressing his inner emotions, Darren walked quickly towards the cabin where the slaves were kept on the official ship.
The locked hatch flew straight out.
Without any obstruction, Darren walked inside step by step.
The fishy, damp smell hit my face, and the dark yellow oil lamp swayed in the turbid air.
When Leah, who was huddled in the corner of the cage, heard the movement, a flash of panic flashed across her face at first. When she saw that the person coming was Darren, the panic expression was quickly replaced by surprise.
Darren waved his hand.
The cage made of steel instantly collapsed, twisted, and then dismembered. Even the shackles on the little girl's body broke and fell to the ground.
"Navy brother!!"
The shackles that sealed her mouth fell off, and the little girl let out a sweet cry, stumbled towards Darren, and hugged the latter's calf tightly.
Darren rubbed her head and smiled:
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Leah's eyes turned red and she nodded heavily.
So Darren took her hand and walked out of the cabin.
However,
When Leah walked out of the cabin and saw the bodies strung up with steel on the deck, her face suddenly turned white.
She subconsciously looked into the cabin.
The terrible, ugly Tianlong man fell in a pool of blood.
Leah couldn't help but let go of Darren's hand and took two steps back in horror.
Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and slammed against the mast on the side!
Darren reached out and grabbed her clothes, lifting her up like a kitten.
"What are you doing?"
He frowned.
The little girl cried and said:
"I can't survive, can I?"
"If I survive, I will bring a lot of trouble to Brother Navy."
Darren was startled and sighed.
He thought of the little girl's father's previous behavior of hitting the wall, and felt helpless.
It's like a father and daughter who are in love with each other.
He picked up the little girl and said seriously:
"Since you survived, let's live well."
"Your father is waiting for you to come home."
"I received your money, so I must protect you."
The little girl was stunned, a little embarrassed:
"But...but I...paid very little..."
Darren smiled:
"Enough."
A metal skateboard floated over, he stepped on it, and his figure gradually rose into the air.
Hovering in the air, Darren held the dirty little girl in one hand, overlooking the bloody World Government ship below, slowly raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and grabbed it from a distance.
Boom...
Crack! !
Driven by the metal of the ship's hull, the entire ship was constantly compressed, collapsed, and twisted under the strange magnetic field.
With a rumble, the gunpowder and loaded artillery in the cabin were quickly detonated, and the blazing flames shot up into the sky, like a huge fireball igniting and covering the entire ship.
The hot and vast shock wave came to her face, making the little girl subconsciously bury her head in the chest of the naval captain, as if it was the safest place in the world.
The official ship gradually sank, and the flag of the world government, which represented the highest authority, turned to ashes in the flames.
Black smoke billowed and rose into the sky.
There were flashes of lightning and thunder in the thick black clouds, and the long-brewing storm was about to come.
In the hazy, swaying, and twisted firelight,
Darren seemed to see faces looming in it, like a dream.
He saw Gion on the street with a blank look in his eyes and a rose tightly in his hand;
He saw Kaji punching the wall again and again to vent his anger;
He saw the man kneeling in front of him and begging him with a pile of coins;
He saw the woman who smiled and picked up the golden pistol to commit suicide;
He saw the ugly grinning face of the Celestial Dragon...
Faces and pictures kept looming in the flames that shot up into the sky.
Darren let out a long breath.
In the deepest part of his heart, the feeling of frustration and boredom finally dissipated at this moment...completely.
As the thought came to him, an indescribable emotion and power surged in his chest, and he couldn't help but express it.
Tear! !
A pale thunder suddenly tore through the dark sky and illuminated the whole world.
The all-consuming storm followed one after another.
The wind and clouds surged.
The navy colonel was suspended in the sky, his momentum continued to rise, and his wide cloak danced like a wild dragon behind him.
A majestic, domineering, and solemn aura, as if responding to the storm between heaven and earth, burst out from his body.
The world changed color.
At the same time,
In Darren's perception, a new "project" slowly emerged.
Overlord Haki: 20
The spirit of the king... awakened.
