Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 495 What's Left...

The shrill screams were full of pain and despair, and the endless painful fragments in his mind caused him to collapse and destroy the nearby vegetation and stones, but the endless roar in his ears still couldn't cover up their last few words and the sound of burning magma in his mind .

·
"Ah!! Disappear!! Disappear for me!!!!" The severe pain in his whole body could not be felt at all, he yelled in collapse, picked up a boulder and threw it towards the nearby hill, "Give me Disappear!!!!!!!"

·
Under the loud bang of "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Loess" fell down, but it still didn't make him feel better, instead, he became even more desperate.

·
After the intense movement, Luffy knelt down on the ground and panted heavily, blood dripping from his lips continuously, but the scattered pain was blurred, and even the pain was so extreme that he still couldn't shed any tears.

·
"Luffy..." Zoro and the others who followed closely frowned at the man in pain, but didn't know how to persuade him.

·
Taking a deep breath, Zoro stepped forward expressionlessly, "Luffy, Encore and your elder brother have already..."

·
"Shut up!!!" Luffy raised his head and stared at him fiercely, but his eyes were full of hopes that would be broken at any moment, "You know!! They are very important to me!! So don't explain!!!!"

·
"!!!!!!", pupils shrank, Sauron pursed his lips and lowered his head, holding the hand with the demon knife so hard that it trembled slightly.

·
Jinbe, who came over later, looked at them worriedly, but suddenly remembered the previous memory in his mind:
·
In the prison, the scarred young man was expressionless, but he could still see his determination, "If I die like this, Jinping, please take care of my brother..."

·
On the warship heading to the naval headquarters, the girl facing the sea breeze turned her head and smiled and said to him with a faint request, "Master Jinpei~~, I will definitely be targeted by the navy when I am on the battlefield. Can I trouble you to take care of Luffy~~~"

·
Returning to his senses with a heavy heart, Jinbe stepped forward a few steps to the side of Sauron and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps at this time, it would be better for me, an outsider..."

·
"No... For us... this is our responsibility..." After a pause, Sauron continued to whisper: "No, I have to trouble you to help, after all, he has lost not only only one person……"

·
"Ah..." Taking a deep breath, Jinbe said loudly, "The war is over, Mr. Ace and Xiaowa have..."

·
"Don't say it! Don't say anything!!", interrupted him sharply, before Luffy looked at his hands tremblingly, "I almost strangled my face, if it was a dream, I should have woken up long ago ..."

·
"Luffy...", seeing him like this, the people around couldn't bear it, but the truth still had to be told to him...

·
Their gaze made Luffy close his eyes in pain, no matter how much he deceived himself, he had reached the limit.The tears that had been suppressed slowly dripped down, and then came out violently. He cried loudly, opened his eyes and looked at the four people in front of him sadly, "Ace...is he dead..."

·
"Ah, I'm dead." Jinbe nodded affirmatively, but his eyes became slightly moist.

·
"What about Encore..."

·
Sauron pursed his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "He's dead too, you confirmed it yourself..."

·
"Ah!!!!" Luffy yelled again in pain, but tears kept falling.

·
Seeing the howling Luffy, Zoro and the others could only wait quietly, feeling heavy again because of his mournful cries.

·
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Luffy's crying slowly subsided, and he lowered his head to look at his hands.Just when Zoro and the others thought that he had calmed down a little and accepted the fact, Luffy's next second of movement directly made them jump.

·
"Damn!! I'm too weak!!!" Luffy clenched his already scarred fists violently, and hit the rock on one side fiercely. The previous grief has turned into self-blame for himself.His strength had already begun to dissipate, and he knelt down on the ground and beat the ground vigorously with his fists, "Damn it!! I'm too weak!! I can't protect anything!! Damn it!!"

·
Seeing him like this, Jinbe couldn't bear to speak up and planned to persuade: "Lu Fei-kun..."

·
"Go away!! Leave me alone!!"

·
Jinbe said in a deep voice without giving in: "This is not allowed! This old man can no longer watch you hurt yourself!!"

·
"That's right, Luffy," Robin whispered sadly, "You'd better take a good rest..."

·
Even if it was the dissuasion of his friends, Luffy still didn't listen to him, "Leave me alone!! This is my body, I am free to do whatever I want!!"

·
Hearing this, Zoro's face became even darker, he clenched his fist suddenly, stepped forward and punched Luffy hard on the face.

·
"!!!!!!", the unexpected action made Jinbei look at him in shock, and then he just kept silent after he figured it out.

·
Luffy, who was beaten to the side, wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips, and stared at him fiercely like an enraged and injured beast, "What are you doing?!!"

·
But in the next second, Sauron threw the wooden box in his hand on the ground in front of him, and the two demon knives rolled out lay quietly on the messy ground.Looking directly into Luffy's eyes without hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Luffy, Anke is dead. If she knows what you are like now, what do you think she will think?!"

·
"Anyway, she can't see what I'm doing now!!", after roaring and bumping back, the tears that Luffy managed to stop slowly flowed down again, and the hoarse voice was inaudible in the end, "I can't even see arrive……"

·
"Even if you can't see you, are you ruining the lives she and your brother finally saved?!"

·
"If the price is the two of them, I would rather not!!!" Recalling the moment when the magma buried the two of them, Luffy finally calmed down and faced collapse again, "They all said...they didn't will die...the result..."

·
Seeing him like this, Zoro just clenched his fists, and then calmly whispered: "No one is immortal, Luffy. You should have known this a long time ago...whether it is Ace or Encore , they are all just ordinary people. Everyone may die, either today or tomorrow, or a little longer..."

·
Luffy just lowered his head and gritted his teeth tightly, but the tears kept dripping down, mixed with the blood flowing from his lips and dripping on the ground.

·
"I don't know what your elder brother thinks, but I know how Anke feels." Sauron sat in front of him, reached out to pick up the two demon knives that fell on the ground, "She values ​​you, values So much so that she can simply ignore her own life. She is the kind of person who would rather be scarred than let you suffer a little bit of harm. Maybe you don't know, maybe you have guessed it. When the horror three-masted sailing ship, I know that Encore could not live for two or three months, or even shorter time. You were in a coma at that time, and the memories of other people were washed away by Encore..."

·
Hearing this, Sanji and Robin stared at Zoro with wide eyes in astonishment. The memory he mentioned did not exist in their minds at all.

·
"I'm the only one in the boat who knows everything, but Encore doesn't allow me to tell anyone, especially you. The reason is very simple, she knows you can't accept it." Sauron put the knife together, but the obvious crack And the gap made him feel even heavier, but he still said quietly, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him, "She has been worrying about you for the rest of the time. She has been thinking of ways to let You can calmly accept her death at any time, so that you can continue to move forward, and even force yourself to find a way to continue living..."

·
After a pause, Zoro quietly looked at the spliced ​​demon sword, and after a few seconds, he disassembled it and put it back into the wooden box, "Luffy, maybe Anke died suddenly, maybe you just died suddenly I can't accept it. But, only if you go beyond, can you..."

·
"I'm too weak..." Luffy interrupted him suddenly, with his head down, still looking decadent and desperate, "I'm too weak...it's all because of me...I don't even have the ability to protect them ..."

·
"We are all weak..." Sauron just took a deep look at the demon sword in the wooden box, then closed the wooden box and said one word after another, "That's why we have to become stronger."

·
"I..." Lu Fei murmured, but he still didn't continue to say anything, he had no energy to continue.

·
Jing Jing calmly looked at the hopeless man, and unconsciously remembered the days when he was in the cell with Ace.

·
"Jinbe, do you know? On the voyage to hunt down Tiki, I met my brother who had been away for three years, in the Kingdom of Alabasta. I was relieved just by looking at him. Guess why~"

·
When talking about this incident at that time, the black-haired young man was in a very good mood, and there was even a nostalgic smile on the corner of his lips, "I saw it there, Jinbei. My brother is no longer the one who just followed my ass. Luffy in the back is gone, he already... has a group of trustworthy partners... No matter what happens in the future, there will be no problems, because I am already relieved..."

After recovering from the memories, Jinbe stepped forward and said to Zoro who was sitting there: "Let me say something to Lu Fei-kun, sometimes the words of a bystander are useful..."

·
"I'm sorry to trouble you..." Sauron just stood up and leaned against a tree beside him, silently looking at the still sluggish person.

·
Jinbe also sat on the ground, his unhealed serious injuries made his movements look a bit clumsy.Luffy ignored the person sitting in front of him and changed it, even though the blue murloc's body was huge.

·
"Lufei-kun..." Jinbe looked at him worriedly, sighed and said seriously, "Lufei-kun, you should see that the self-confidence that you can overcome no matter what kind of difficulties you get into has never Those enemies who doubted your own strength, smashed them ruthlessly, and made you helpless, and your brother who was once a signpost on this sea. After all, you have lost a lot of things, the world This gigantic kiss next door keeps blinding your eyes,"

·
Following his words, Luffy's originally empty eyes suddenly focused, and it seemed that he had no power to resist in the top battle, and could only run away in embarrassment to avoid their enemies: Hawkeye, pacifists, Yellow monkey, Qingzhi, Sengoku and... red dog...

·
However, every person who can think of is like a heavy mountain, oppressing him tightly, making him gasp in pain, but there is no way to squeeze out any strength to escape.

·
"They made you lose your way completely and plunged you into the abyss of regret and self-blame! Although it must be hard now, Luffy-kun, you have to get out of it!! Don't always focus on what you lost! What's lost doesn't come back! Ask yourself what's left of you right now?!"
