The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 198 The Severed Hope
The guy who was being chased by the orc guards was called Ryze Stirr.He told the three of Roger their story.

They are a team against the rule of the king and against the dirty human experiments.But they rebelled three times, and all three times they were suppressed by the king.

Moreover, during this process, more and more people were transformed on the island, and fewer and fewer people kept their human form.

Coupled with the fact that most of the women and children who maintain their human forms have no combat effectiveness, their strength has been compressed to the limit.

And he is one of the few remaining people who still maintain resistance.

And he's the kind of person who resists very resolutely.He is also the only one now who has been involved in the rebellion from the beginning.

Others have either died on the test bed, or they have given up their intention to resist.

Roger was deeply moved when he heard the story of Riz Stirr.However, he could also hear that this guy's idea of ​​resisting the king's power has become more and more weak.

And his companions are getting fewer and fewer.This is also impossible.After all, there are fewer and fewer normal human beings.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Roger asked looking at the person in front of him.There was some pity on his face.

However, the color is not too heavy.Roger, who has the bug-like ability to listen to the voice of all things, can feel the negative thoughts that are also emanating from Riz Stell's heart.

"I don't know either. Let's just hide and live like this. Live as long as you can."

Ryze Steel looked bewildered.Now there was really no hope for him.Live every day.

Otherwise, if he was caught by the king's men without any resistance, then his face would be too ugly!
"Hey! Why are you so depressed! Do you want to die without dignity like this! Are you worthy of those underground companions who have lost their lives!"

Shanks suddenly looked at Ritz Stry and yelled.He didn't look down on Riz Steel's actions at all.It's so incompetent!

"I'm sorry." There was only despair on Riz Stahl's face. "But what can we do then? The power of resistance is getting weaker every day. I can't do anything."

Roger nodded to show that he heard. "Then do you have any companions? Don't they have any other plans?"

"Companion?" Ruiz Stry chuckled lightly. "After I've been betrayed once by a close companion, I don't trust companions anymore."

"Betrayed by his companions? Why?" Shanks continued to ask Ritz Stall without thinking.

Rez Stirr stared at Shanks carefully with an idiot's eyes, and said:

"Because they don't want to continue living in the dark like this anymore. They plan to arrest someone to claim credit, hoping that the king can reduce their crimes."

"Why! It's not that you don't want to live with such an image! Why did you change your mind in the end!"

"Because in this case, at least you can survive." Rez Stohr said looking at Shanks.

"If you can't live according to your own intentions, then you might as well die!" Shanks roared angrily while looking at Razister.

However, Riz Stahl looked at Shanks and shook his head helplessly.Different people have different values.

What they value is even more different.There will always be people who feel that living is more important.

Shanks wanted to say something, but was stopped by Roger.The way is different and does not conspire with each other.Since this person thinks so, there is nothing he can do.

"Thank you for telling us this, Ryze." Roger thanked the man.But there was no smile on his face.

"We'll say goodbye first."

Riz Stirr nodded at Roger, turned his head and ran into the crowd, and slowly disappeared in front of the three of Roger.

"Why did you let him go, Captain Roger?" Shanks looked at Roger and asked. "Shouldn't we try to persuade him?"

"No need." Roger's face was a little gloomy. "He is the most promising person on this island."

"But he also looks like this." Spark Jabba also said beside him. "Is there really no hope for this island?"

"I don't know either." Roger said after a long sigh: "Where is the hope on this island? Could it be in those people who have been transformed?"

"You can't expect those children and women to fight those transformed people. They will never agree."

Shanks looked a little lonely.Aren't the nobles who control the country brainless!Toss the country like this, where is the hope!Where is the future!
"Let's go, there is nothing to investigate. Find other partners, and then go to end the evil on this island."

Roger looked at the people on the street and finally made his decision.

After saying that, he took the lead in turning around and walking back.They need to find Van Pika first, and then find other partners through Van Pika.

On the other side, the three of Bit did not hide anything.They never went back to the city at all.

They were looking for transformed orc soldiers just outside the city.They are not only responsible for the work of security patrols in the city.

Escorting civilians for human experiments is also their duty.Under normal circumstances, the test site will be in the wild.

After all, the test site where they were escorted was in the outskirts.So, they wandered around in the wild.Maybe I'll run into another one.

A group of people have been wandering in the suburbs for half a day, but they haven't come across anything.It seems that they have a problem with the inspection time.

But the sky pays off.Finally, they ran into a group of orc soldiers again.Leading the way was a guy with a mouth full of fangs.

They were escorting a few emaciated, sallow, ragged, expressionless people walking silently on the path.

The test site that Bit and the others took away was indeed not the only one on the island.

The three quietly followed behind the group.Follow them slowly towards the front.Faintly, the three of them could still hear the group of half-orcs taunting and cursing the few civilians being escorted.

"Why is there such a thing on this island!" Mei Li had obvious sadness on her face.

"Most of the nobles like to mess around. Isn't Bucky's kingdom the same?" Bit looked at all this relatively calmly.

"I'm just a little sorry for Ningmeng."

"Ah? Why are you sorry for me?" Ningmeng asked Bit curiously.

"This is the first adventure you and we participated in, and it turned out not to be an interesting adventure, but so heavy."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. I am already very happy to be able to take risks with you!" Meili responded to Bit's words with her teeth bared and her eyes bent.

"In the past, I was always waiting for your adventures on the shore. If it weren't for you and Mei Li in most cases, I would definitely be bored to death!"
