The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 174 Facing Death
On the other side, where the Roger Pirates gathered, Taro was in the corner with his hands on his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his previous heroic spirit was completely gone.

"Deputy captain...they...who the hell are they?"

"What? You can't stand this little fear?" Lei Li didn't answer Taro's question, but asked him instead. It seemed to be joking, but his tone was more dignified and serious.

"Vice-captain...you don't know...that murderous aura...really...as if the next second...my soul will be torn apart." Taro said with a face full of fear.

"Hey, taro, can't you?"

"That's right, isn't it the crisis of death? It's not like we haven't encountered it before."

"Cheer up, taro, you are the bravest fighter."

The companions comforted Taro in their own ways. It was really dangerous just now. They didn't see the actions of Skaha and others at all. As long as Taro moved a little, they believed that Taro would definitely die.

But they didn't feel each other's murderous intent, so they didn't know what Taro went through.

Based on their trust in Lei Li, they did not provoke or help, but they did not expect that Taro, who has always been known for his bravery, now looks like a frightened little boy.

"You...don't understand...that murderous aura...it's not something a human can have..."

"Are you scared with just this murderous look? Even desperate?" The smile on Lei Li's face also disappeared.

"It's not... the deputy captain..."

"When Roger and I were trainee crew members, we often faced each other," Reilly said.

"What!? Vice-captain, really?" Taro looked at Rayleigh with disbelief.

"Of course, Roger is alright, he is brought by Uncle Adam, Uncle Adam is very measured, but my teacher is Sister Attila, Sister Attila's attack is deadly, a little If you are not careful, you will die." As he spoke, Rayleigh fell into memories.

The memory of the internship on the Throne is very deep, with warmth, hardship, and happiness, but at the same time, there is also the desperate murderousness, and the desire and longing for power.

It's no joke that Attila is called the "God of Destruction". She has been destroying her whole life. The act of destruction has been integrated into her bones. Even with Adam's company and guidance, she learned what it means to be merciful.

But her mercy is not the same as ordinary mercy.

When training Rayleigh, Attila would limit himself according to the upper limit of Rayleigh's strength, to the extent that Rayleigh could just bear it, but every whip and every sword was aimed at killing Rayleigh. purpose of going.

When it comes to competing for strength, Garp, Roger, and Rayleigh are actually pretty much the same, but if you want to say who has the deepest understanding of death, it is definitely Rayleigh.

"Deputy captain..." Taro lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Immerse yourself in it. If you can get out, your state of mind will improve to a level. If you can't get out...just get off the boat."

"Vice-captain!" The others looked at Lei Li in surprise, but Lei Li ignored him and turned to leave.

A strong heart is the cornerstone of becoming a strong person. Without a strong heart, even if the power is strong, it is just an effort to be controlled by the power, not that you control the power. People who are controlled by the power are only second-rate after all, and cannot keep up Of his and Roger's footsteps.

For taro, this is a blessing as well as a test.

Seeing this, Jabba followed Rayleigh. He is the No.3 member of Roger's Pirates, and the person who has the best understanding with Roger and Rayleigh. He is Roger's left wrist, so he understands that Rayleigh The purpose of this approach is clear, but some questions still need to be asked clearly.

……

On the other side, the battle between the three came out victorious. Law and Garp fulfilled their promise and beat Roger half to death. There was no injury, but the whole body was swollen in a big circle, almost like a ball Oh, I really killed Roger and never thought that the joke that happened to Odin back then would be his turn.

But Roger's goal was achieved, and he successfully dropped Garp and Zefa into the water. There were bruises on his face and blood stains on the corners of his mouth. Such injuries did not seem serious, but Nightingale would never do it. Look no matter what.

"Roger! You are ruthless! You are so ruthless!"

"You actually dragged us into the water, I'm not finished with you!"

"Hmph! Who told you to target me! You are a navy! I am a pirate! Even if I die, I will pull you together!"

"Okay, your battle is over, come back with me for treatment."

At this moment, Nightingale appeared next to the three, organized a quarrel among the three, and raised their collars.

then……

Everyone in the Roger Pirates understood why the warring States of Warring States could be extinguished with a casual sentence from Rayleigh.

This scream... It's too penetrating, are you sure it's healing?I will have nightmares!

Through the previous crisis of Taro and the current screams, they understood a profound truth, that is, never do anything, even if they are walking, they must prevent falling and getting injured.

"Hey, Raleigh, wait a minute."

"What's wrong Jabba?"

"What you just said...is it true?" Jabba asked, not that Rayleigh had often faced death, but that he had to drive Taro off the ship.

The companions on the ship have experienced countless hardships together, and they can trust each other's back. It is unreasonable to let Taro get off the ship just because of such a trivial matter.

"of course."

"Are you hating Taro for being weak?"

"No."

"why?"

"I am very aware of the murderous intent of the elder sisters, and Roger is also very clear. It is a desperate murderous intent that really has no hope and only waits for death, just like facing death directly.

Although we have faced many death crises together, they were all under the premise of hope, completely different from the murderous intent of the big sisters.

For Taro, this is an opportunity. If he succeeds, he will have the courage to face death and the heart to become a strong man.

But opportunities are accompanied by trials, and trials are naturally accompanied by failures. The price of failure is that Taro's future is restricted, and this trial will become his eternal nightmare.

If this is the case, he will follow us when he is here, and he is not pursuing ideals together, but looking for death. said Raleigh.

"Isn't it?"

"Jabba, let me ask you, when you know our secret and Roger and I have to face it in the future, will you just ignore it?"

"Of course not, are you an idiot?"

"What about the taro?"

"This……"

Jabba didn't know how to reply.

It is true that with their current strength, they have no problem in dominating the first half of the Grand Route. Even if they enter the new world, they have the ability to protect themselves.

But what about the future?
Roger and Rayleigh want to stand beside Adam and others to face the enemy that can destroy the world, how should they stand side by side with the two?

"I understand what you said, but I have a request."

"Want to learn something?"

"Hehehe, you still understand me, and... I also want to feel... death in your mouth!"

Raleigh's eyes fixed upon hearing this, and then he laughed.

"Hahahaha, as expected of you, Jabba."

"Hey, don't think I don't know if you didn't show it. You and Roger have already gone to the front. I don't want to fall behind."

"Of course it's fine, but Jabba, be prepared to die."

"I won't tell you if I'm not ready."

"Come on then."

……

Raleigh brought Jabba to Adam and told him about Jabba's request.

"Are you ready?" Adam was not going to persuade Jabba to give up.

Facing death is one of the biggest tests in an ordinary person's life, but it is also one of the cornerstones of becoming a strong man. To be recognized by Roger and become the man with Raleigh's left and right wrists is not a soft-footed shrimp.

"Well, please." Although he was mentally prepared, before the start, Jabba still had a fear of the unknown in his heart.

"Okay, let's feel it."

As soon as the words fell, Jabba was enveloped by a murderous aura that could tear apart the soul without any warning.

Jabba's face suddenly turned pale, his legs trembled uncontrollably, he clenched his teeth and persisted, if there was a slight slack, Jabba's knees would fall to the ground.

This is!die!Substantial murderous aura, not a gas, not a liquid, but a solid form, penetrated into my body through the skin, stopped the flow of blood, blurred my eyes, blocked my breathing nostrils...

That's all Jabba felt, hell?He has never been to hell, and he doesn't know if hell is like this, but he thinks that hell may feel good in the face of this murderous fantasy.

The next second, the surrounding air resumed its flow. Jabba loosened his shoulders and finally knelt down on the deck, taking a big breath of fresh air. In a second or two, a puddle of sweat accumulated on the deck.

"Is this what... death... feels like?" Jabba stammered.

Adam didn't answer, but still had a smile on his face, while Rayleigh grinned, because he heard not only fear but also a hint of excitement from Jabba's trembling voice.

This was half a step forward, and Jabba was not defeated by the abyss of despair.

"Take him to rest."

"Good uncle."

Reilly helped Jabba aside and sat down. The two of them sat quietly. After a long time, Jabba spoke.

"Rayleigh...you and Roger...are amazing..." Jabba really admired Roger and Rayleigh for being able to persist in living in such a "death" every day without giving up.

"I'm used to it. After all, we had no way out at that time." Raleigh shrugged. They had already lost themselves at that time, so they could only obey the arrangement.

"Haha...hahaha...I didn't expect to meet such a strong man in the sea, Raleigh, I am extremely honored to have accepted your invitation to see such a sight!" Jabba laughed loudly.

"I told you that you won't be disappointed. What are you going to do next?"

"Of course... cross over! No matter whether you can get a partner or not, at least... I won't be left behind."

"Haha, that's right."
