Chapter 2 Farewell
Although the population of Lobito Town is sparse, it still has all the basic living facilities.

To the south of the town is a jungle in which many beasts live, but a small pass blocks their threat to the town.There are weapons purchased by the villagers spontaneously on the pass, forming an armed defense to prevent beasts without eyes from entering the town.

Old Jim was a navy man before he retired, so he is more familiar with weapons than ordinary villagers. In addition, he can go hunting occasionally, so it is more convenient to hunt some meat.Old Jim made his home right by the pass.There are also several villagers in the surrounding area forming a small residential area, and Betty's house is next door to Jim's house.

When Andre hurried home, old Jim had already cooked dinner.Looking at the newspaper sent by Newsbird, I was waiting for Andre.

Old Jim is more than 60 years old this year, but in terms of the amazing physique in this world.The eyes are not dazzled and the ears are not deaf, except that the wrinkles on the face and the gray hair can prove that this is an old man.That muscular body can go to the previous life to participate in the bodybuilding competition.

Seeing Andre's return, old Jim looked very happy, took out the good wine that had been preserved for many years, and poured himself a full bowl.

"Why is the old man so happy? You want to find me a grandma?" Andre joked.

"Go! Talk nonsense!" Old Jim drank a bowl of wine and handed the newspaper to Andre.

"The great pirate Roger has been arrested! He will be executed in Luoge Town, East China Sea!" The big headline shocked Andre.

"Has Roger surrendered himself? So the era of great pirates is about to start? It seems that I have to train myself more strictly. After all, there are still big differences between comics and reality. Not all pirates are like Luffy and the others. Most of the pirates brutally murdered civilians." Andre thought to himself.

"Roger is one of the top big pirates! He even got the title of "One Piece"! This arrest is a very meaningful event for the Navy, hahaha!" The old man seemed very excited, bowl after bowl Drinking a lot, kept telling Andre about the past, and reprimanded the pirates for their behavior.

"One more thing, a warship will come to pick you up tomorrow. This time, Donghai has brought many senior generals from the headquarters to execute Roger! And Rogge Town will be taken over by Major General "Bear" Barrow. And Baro Luo was my friend when I was young! I told him about your qualifications, and he will teach you in the future! Brat, don’t embarrass me!” Old Jim clenched his sandbag-sized fist and shook it in front of Andre shaken.

"Bear Barrow? Old man, do you still have this kind of relationship? It's just why he is a major general of the headquarters, but you are only a major? The gap is a bit big." Andre poured cold water on the happy old man.

Old Jim said disapprovingly: "So brat, you have to cherish your talent! I and Barrow enlisted in the same batch of navy and received the same training. Why is there such a big gap? It's talent! That's it, but you are different, you are destined to become a strong man!"

After eating, old Jim began to pack some clothes and luggage for Andre.

Andre was a little hesitant. Having been with the old man for so many years, he had developed a deep relationship and gradually got used to life in the small town.Tomorrow is leaving, and Andre is a little bit sad.

Old Jim noticed Andre's hesitation, as if he had guessed what Andre was thinking.

Patting Andre on the shoulder, the old man opened the window and said to Andre: "Look! When you look in this room, you can only see the scenery in front of us. Your current position blocks your The field of vision! This world is vast! Andre, with your aptitude, you should not be limited to this tiny island!"

Old Jim was very excited: "Like most of the ordinary people in the town, they may have never left this island from birth to death! There is only this island in their world! And people like me, compared to Their experience may be much richer, but my world is only what I see and what I know! Andrei! You have this opportunity! You can see a wider world. You have the ability to stand in this world Come and experience this era! So don’t act like a daughter, and let me be a stumbling block for you to step into the world!”

"Andre! Young eagles can only soar in the blue sky without the protection of their parents! A beast that loves home will never be the leader! Life will inevitably experience some parting!" Old Jim's words made people feel very passionate.

Andre nodded heavily.Old Jim laughed: "Okay, it's not that you can't come back, come back and have a look when you miss me, but it's better not to come back, I'm not old enough to make people worry about it!" After speaking, he patted himself hard chest.

At night Andre climbed to the roof, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.The whole person looks a little depressed, after all, he has lived here for so many years.Already familiar with the plants and trees on the island.And the feelings that I have been with day and night for so many years, I always feel sad when I think of leaving.

Betty also jumped up, looking at the listless Andre, Betty lay down beside him and said curiously: "It's really rare to see this expression appear on you, a brat."

"I'm curious, don't you feel cold? Does a girl know how to be ashamed to dress like this all day?" Seeing Betty, Andre couldn't help but stimulate her.

"You! You brat!" Betty's angry voice suddenly became lower: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Did you hear that?" Andre asked back.Then he said: "That's right, just the old man's voice. Hehe." Andre laughed at himself.

After a long time, I heard Betty gently asking: "Can you come back?"

"It's definitely possible, but I won't be able to come back in a short time."

Betty stopped talking, and the two of them watched the night quietly, neither of them knowing what the other was thinking.

Early the next morning, Old Jim took his luggage with Andre.When I came to the alley and waited, I kept telling him.

It made Andre miserable, wishing that the warship would arrive now, get on the warship and set off immediately.

When the sky is bright.A warship appeared faintly on the sea.After the warship slowly docked, a tall man in a navy uniform and a cloak of justice walked over.Walking in front of him, he raised his right hand and saluted old Jim as a military salute.

"Hello, Senior Jim! I am Chief Barrow's lieutenant, Lyle! I am ordered to pick up Andre to Rogue Town!"

Old Jim also returned a standard military salute, and then pushed Andre in front of Lyle. "Thank you for your hard work, then please!"

Lyle was obviously a little surprised by Andre's height, but didn't say much.

Andre followed Lyle to the warship. Standing on the warship, Andre looked at old Jim with mixed feelings, and Betty's figure hiding behind the rock was also discovered by Andre.

"Don't worry, old man! I'm sure I won't embarrass you! And Betty! Wear more clothes! Don't you feel cold!" Andre shouted at the two of them.

Betty jumped out from behind the rock angrily, picked up a small rock and tried to smash it at Andre.

Old Jim looked at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, diluting the sadness of parting.
