The Pirate: Looking for Doraemon

Chapter 176
Karina buried her head between her legs and said nothing.

Garp looked at Karina's back, slowly raised his hand and frowned.

"Actually, when I first met you, I was also selfish." Garp said slowly, as if revealing his heart.

"When I saw you for the first time, I realized that you had the blood of the God of War race. I accepted you as an apprentice without hesitation, and taught you everything I have learned in my life. Cultivating a future force, on the other hand, is for your own selfishness..."

Garp spoke slowly, his voice was as deep as a dying lion, after a moment of silence, Karp smiled helplessly, as if he was sighing.

"I don't want the blood of the God of War to be given to others. I will train you as my grandson. I plan to promote the relationship between you and Ace or Luffy when the time is right, so that you can become one of them." Mate...but everything is not going my way."

Garp said, showing a guilty expression.

Karina raised her head slowly, bit her lips in pain, her lips trembled but couldn't say a word.

"Everything changed because you agreed to Bedolo's marriage proposal."

Garp raised his head and looked at Karina with blue eyes: "This is not an ordinary marriage proposal, you know, girl. If you are engaged to Ace or Luffy, you have no problem canceling it. But the engagement with Bedolo is irrevocable."

"Half a year later, your wedding with Bedolo will be celebrated in half the world as a celebration salute for the Heldimon royal family's promotion to world nobility."

Karina fell into a wordless silence.

"Now the royal family of Herdemon has sent a request to the navy to send you to their country for half a year of etiquette training," Garp said.

Karina's eyes slowly lost their luster, and the slightly trembling pupils were thinking about something.

"I can see that you have some feelings with that Nobi Nobita, but you should know the weight of it, Nizi."

"..."

The wind was blowing rustlingly, blowing the coconut tree leaves above the two of them, and the green leaves covered the sunlight, casting several floating shadows.

"Xiangquan, I want to ask you something." On the other side of the beach, Nobita asked Xiangquan suddenly.

"You say." Xiangquan nodded.

"Did Karina have any emotional experiences during her life in the navy?" Nobita asked.

Xiangquan frowned, looking at the man in front of him who seemed to know nothing: "Didn't Karina tell you?"

"No. Say what?"

"That's okay." Xiangquan shook his head, "Since Karina won't tell you, I can't tell you either."

Nobita shrugged speechlessly, it was always difficult to get some useful information from Xiangquan's questioning.

Back on their own cockroach, Nobita and the three leaned on the main pole on the deck, quietly waiting for Karina's return.

Now that they are invited to become Shichibukai, Nobita temporarily puts down his vigilance against Garp.After all, the navy will never take action against pirates who may serve them in the future, right?

After a while, two small figures appeared on the beach line of the coast. Karina and Karp walked back slowly one after the other.

There was a distance of about ten meters between the two of them, they were both walking with their heads bowed, without any communication.

"Lieutenant Karina!" Seeing the two returning, Xiangquan was the first to greet them.

Karina didn't say a word, she passed the fragrant spring quietly, and jumped onto Nobita's boat.

"What? Can we go?" Nobita smiled.But when he saw Karina's face without a trace of blood under the sun, he couldn't help being stunned.

Karina bit her lips tightly, her eyes avoided Nobita's direct gaze: "Nobita, I'm sorry, I can't continue traveling with you. I'm leaving."

"..." Nobita froze in place: "Why?"

"I have been very happy traveling with you for half a year." Karina's face was trembling, and finally she slowly squeezed out a smile.

"In the past six months, I have experienced a life that I have never experienced before in the navy. I will always remember it in my heart. I am really happy. Just like before, I always thought that pirates were bad, but now I also feel that, Not all pirates are..."

"I'm asking you why?!" Nobita interrupted Karina's self-talk, and asked anxiously.

The sound became louder unconsciously, and even Doraemon, who was behind Marion, was startled.

Karina, on the other hand, acted as if she had been prepared for a long time, without panic or panic, with a calm face. After being quiet for nearly half a minute, she slowly raised her head and looked at Nobita.

"I'm getting married."

This short sentence was like a torrential rain that directly poured through Nobita's anger, and there was no trembling feeling like an earthquake in his heart, but instead it was extremely silent, as if he was dead.

"Goodbye, Nobita." Karina bowed slightly to Nobita, so polite that Nobita was scared.

Karina turned and left, Nobita quickly took Karina's hand.

This similarly familiar scene once again stirred up ripples in Nobita's heart.

The memory went back to Rogue Town, to the moment when the red-haired woman left.

When Heart left, she also behaved like this.

At that time, I asked the kind of things that shouldn't be asked like a licking dog.

Is this scene happening again now?Nobita trembled in his heart.

Karina turned her head slowly, staring at Nobita's pale pink eyes full of struggles.

Her heart was also struggling helplessly like countless black balls made of messy hemp.

What Cap had just said to her came back to her from time to time.

"If you break this engagement, the Draconians and the Herdimon royal family will hunt you both to death."

"You don't have the ability to resist this family. Even if you can guarantee your own safety, it is difficult for you to guarantee the safety of others."

"I'm really sorry, girl..."

Looking at Nobita, Karina gradually couldn't feel the beating of her heart.

For some reason, a thought that shouldn't have flashed across her mind.

If the man in front of her doesn't let go of her, will she abandon everything and go with him?

She doesn't care anymore because she is already an orphan, but what about him?
Did he really like himself that much?
Karina's eyes couldn't help looking at Nobita, as if expecting.

But Nobita slowly let go of Karina's hand.Letting go of his soft little hand, Daxiong grasped his fingers like nostalgia, and slowly lowered his eyelids.

"Goodbye, Karina."

Nobita whispered a short sentence, turned around and walked slowly into the cabin.

"Nobita..." Marianne stood behind her and called out in a low voice, her voice full of helplessness and crying.

Karina's face was like a rose about to wither in the setting sun, she said goodbye to Marion and Doraemon briefly, then turned and left.

The howl of the warship setting sail sounded, and the two warships slowly sailed away from the island of flowers.
