The Heroic Spirit Group in the Pirate World

Chapter 9 Even so, we must love the world

It was cold spring, and the sun was shining on the earth, failing to bring any warmth. Mountains of garbage were placed haphazardly, emitting a disgusting stench.

Crossing Mount Kolbo, it was exactly such a place that appeared in front of Matthew and Ron.

Uncertainty Terminal (greyternal), the most beautiful country in the East China Sea, the Kingdom of Goa is a place specially used to dispose of garbage.

The unwanted things are concentrated here, whether they are people or things.

This is the largest slum in the Kingdom of Goa, and it is also a lawless zone where criminals hide and commit violence.

Under the bright appearance, there is such ugly scabies.

"Matthew, put on your hat."

Pulling down Matthew's hat, Ron put on the prepared cloak, hat and mask, and walked with Matthew in the smelly garbage dump.

In the garbage mountains on both sides, people would cast prying eyes from time to time, making Mashu's body tense up, ready to transform into a follower at any time.

Although I had inquired about the news here before, the actual situation was more serious than Ron imagined.

Less than ten minutes after Ron and Matthew stepped into the Uncertain Terminal, they were targeted.

"Killing! Killing!"

A shaved-off middle-aged man stumbled over from the other side of the garbage mountain, holding a bloody dagger in his hand.

"senior?"

Matthew looked at Ron, who shook his head.

"We stay out of the way."

However, the middle-aged man was unwilling to give up.

Clearly being chased, the middle-aged man stopped when he approached Ron and Matthew.

"You two, hurry up and hand over your valuables. If I don't have money, I will starve to death even if I escape. Rather than that, I might as well die here with you guys." 78 Chinese is the fastest mobile version: >

The man turned his head and looked behind him, pointing the dagger that had just killed people at Ron and Matthew, and said in a panic.

Seeing that Ron and Matthew were unmoved, the man's expression turned ferocious.

"Hurry up, hand over the money to me!"

He was almost yelling when talking to Ron. He could clearly see that between Ron and Matthew, it was Ron who was in charge.

Ron might have believed this wonderful acting if he hadn't noticed the joking smiles of the onlookers on the garbage hills on both sides.

"Do we look that much like fat sheep? I obviously bought these two cloaks as old ones."

In a lawless zone like the uncertain terminal, the most taboo thing is to expose your money, because you don't know when those desperadoes who are crazy about poverty will point a knife at your neck.

Just like now, the man threatened Ron and Matthew with a knife, pretending to be a thug who had just killed someone, forcing Ron and Matthew to spend money to solve the problem.

However, Ron and Matthew can tell the difference between real outlaws and ordinary people in disguise at a glance.

A villain who has actually killed someone has a completely different temperament.

"Ma Xiu, hit with the back of the knife!"

"Yes."

Hearing Ron's words, Matthew nodded, and a cross-border shield taller than a man appeared in Matthew's hand. Seeing the sudden appearance of the shield, the man's body suddenly collapsed to the ground in fear.

Ron originally thought he would give up, but when he saw Matthew showing extraordinary magic-like methods, the man did not back down.

He dropped the knife, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly.

"Please, give me the money!"

Even Ron was a little at a loss when he saw such a scene. He stared blankly at the man kneeling in front of him, not understanding why he did this.

The answer will be revealed in the next second.

"Oh my, I'm sorry. This man didn't tell us he owed us money, but he also killed the people who went to collect the debt. I'm really sorry for disturbing you two."

A long scar on his face tore off his lip. A man who was two and a half meters tall and looked like a bear came out of the other side of the garbage mountain with two of his men smiling. His eyes glanced at the round shield in Matthew's hand. , close at the touch of a button.

"Hey, you two, why don't you hurry up and catch that loser?"

Mir loudly greeted his two men, and the two gangsters with knives walked towards the first man with a ferocious smile on their faces.

"No, don't kill me, I will definitely pay back the money, I will definitely pay back the money!"

The man knelt on the ground and his head hit the floor with a "thump". He was not pretending, because Ron could see the blood stains on the man's forehead.

He was really afraid of the tall bear-like man in front of him.

"and many more."

Ron's eyes flickered slightly, but he finally spoke. He couldn't help but watch a person being killed in front of him.

"Sir, this is a family matter of our Nile Gang. Please don't interfere."

Mir said kindly, but with his lip torn by a scar, it looked terrifying.

"Or, generous sir, are you going to help this loser pay off the debt he owes?"

After hearing Mir's words, even the man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look at Ron expectantly.

However, Ron didn't give the answer he wanted.

"No." Ron pulled his hat and said in a cold tone: "This man just offended me, I can't let him leave like this."

Suddenly, both the man kneeling on the ground and Mir, who was smiling, froze.

Mir's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, what do you want? This man's hands? Legs? Or eyes?"

After being signaled by Mir's eyes, the two gangsters slashed at the man on the ground with knives without mercy.

However, there was only a "dang" sound, and both machetes were blocked by Mashu with his shield.

"I don't need arms, legs or eyes, I need a slave, a slave to carry things."

Ron pointed to the packages on his and Matthew's backs, and looked at Mir calmly.

"Even if you want him to be your slave, as the master, you should pay him back the money he owes, right?"

"That's what he owes, what does it have to do with me?"

The air became as quiet as death, and the spectators who were secretly watching the show on the garbage mountain couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"it is good!"

Mir smiled, his eyes widening and his mouth split open, like an angry bear.

"Boy, you succeeded in irritating me. After so many years, you are still the first one who dares to speak to me like this."

"I'm tired of watching each other and your drama. This place is more disgusting than I imagined."

It was true that the man owed money, and it was true that he was being coerced, but he should never have done anything to involve innocent people like them as Mir's pawn.

He was just a chess piece sent by Mir to test Ron and Matthew. Once Ron and Matthew showed any timidity, they would definitely be swallowed up to the bone.

Therefore, Ron had no favorable impression of the people in front of him, only deep disgust.

"Come on, do you think you can get out of here if you dare to mess with me, the bear-man Mir?"

Mir looked at Ron and Matthew with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Abel, I will give you a chance to kill these two people with a knife. As long as you can do it, I will forgive your debt."

On the ground, a man named Abel trembled when he heard that the debt could be forgiven. Under Mir's sarcastic eyes, he grabbed the dagger. 78 Chinese is the fastest updated PC version:

He struggled, and finally roared and rushed towards Ron and Matthew.

"It's all your fault. If you were willing to pay me obediently, how could things have turned out like this? I still have a wife and daughter, I can't die here!"

He never thought about why Ron and Matthew should pay for his mistakes.

Looking at Abel rushing towards him, Ron's eyes did not waver at all, and he gave the order directly.

"Matthew, knock them down."

After saying this, the girl, already filled with anger, slammed her buckler on the ground.

Boom ——————!

A huge crack appeared between Matthew and Abel. The strong vibration destroyed the unstable structure of the garbage mountain, and the garbage fell toward everyone like an avalanche.

"The garbage mountain has collapsed, run away!"

The surrounding spectators dispersed in a hurry, and Ron looked at Matthew with helpless eyes.

"Matthew!"

"I'm sorry, senior..."

Mashu lowered his head and tightened his fingers on the handle of the shield.

"I'm just a little angry."

"Since everyone is not rich, why can't we help each other? Just like everyone in Windmill Village."

"It's wrong to base your happiness on the pain of others."

Dragging Matthew away, Ron didn't want to be buried under the smelly garbage.

He turned around and said seriously: "Ma Xiu, you have to remember that just like the moon waxes and wanes, people also have good and bad qualities. No one is born a villain, and criminals do not intend to commit crimes from the beginning. Take that path. But once a choice is made, one is responsible for what one does. Whether the outcome is good or bad."

"The environment in which a person grows up will determine his future direction, and this country has failed to provide its people with this equality and stability."

"In other words, this is the case in this world. A small village like Windmill Village that is isolated from the rest of the world cannot escape the intrusion of pirates, let alone other places."

"This is the best of times and the worst of times, a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak."

"Is there no way to change this?"

Matthew looked at Ron, hoping he would tell him the answer.

but--

"There is no way."

Ron's tone was calm.

"Because we are too weak. Even the world's top strong men like Mr. Garp cannot change this country. What can we do?"

As his hometown, if Garp could change this place, he would have started to do it long ago, but he couldn't do it. Even if he was already a hero of the navy, he could not influence the decision-making of a country.

In other words, it is precisely because of the title of naval hero that he cannot do what he wants to do as he pleases.

Because every move he makes affects the nerves of the entire navy, and every decision he makes will affect the new generation of naval soldiers.

He couldn't do it, he couldn't do anything.

However, some things are not impossible, so we don’t do them.

"Matthew, have you ever heard of a famous saying? This is a passage engraved in the forest of tombstones in the basement of Westminster Abbey, England."

Ron's voice made Matthew's pupils widen slightly, and she understood what Ron wanted to say.

"When I was young and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world."

"As I matured, I realized I couldn't change the world. I shortened my horizons and decided to just change my country."

"As I entered my twilight years, I realized that I could not change my country. My last wish was just to change my family."

"But that's impossible."

"As I lay on my bed, dying, I suddenly realized: If I had only changed myself first, then as an example, I would have changed my family. With their help and encouragement, I would have been able to do better for our country. Issues."

"And who knows? I might even change the world."

Matthew and Ron almost said the last words together. At this moment, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Since we can't change the minds of adults, we can always change the minds of children, right?"

Change yourself and the people around you. Even if they are still weak now, sooner or later, this belief and will will turn into a prairie fire.

"Actually, senior only said that on purpose because he saw the little girl, right?"

"No, no, we defeated her father, and it would be too cruel to leave her here alone."

Under the garbage mountain, where Mir and his men were hiding just now, a dirty little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old was sitting on her knees on the ground, staring blankly at her breathless mother in front of her.

"Mother…"

In order to protect the little girl from being sold to the brutal gangster forces by her bastard father, the skinny woman resisted desperately, and was finally stabbed in the vital part by her husband.

The man did kill someone. He killed his wife, whom he had been with for more than ten years.

It sounds like such a scum would not be a pity to die, but who would have thought that a few years ago he was a proud husband to his wife and a handsome father to his daughter?

Just because of an accident, the nobles in the city were offended, and the family was kicked out. They could only stay in the smelly garbage mountains.

The wife is seriously ill, and there is no doctor in the garbage mountain. The husband can only spend more money to get one in the city. Even so, not many doctors are willing to leave the clean city and come to the dirty terminal of uncertainty.

After spending all his little savings, the husband could only borrow money from gangsters. Here, they are the only ones who can afford to borrow money.

However, the husband who lost his job was unable to repay the high interest, so by chance, he became addicted to gambling.

Even in this lawless land, there is a violent industry like gambling.

Under the temptation of money, the husband fell step by step, until today.

But can it be said that all this is his fault?

Ron is right. This country has failed to provide its people with an equal and stable living environment. The existence of privileges is doomed to the fact that there is no equality between people.

The man paid his price, and even if he survived the dumping of garbage, the gangster forces would not let him go.

However, his daughter is innocent.

"Hello, little girl, do you know Abel? I am his former friend and I was sponsored by him to go to sea. After I came back, I heard from the neighbors who lived near him that their family was driven here, so I came here Ask.”

"…dad?"

Hearing the word "Abel", the little girl's dry well-like eyes flashed with starlight, but it was more of pain.

"Are you Mr. Abel's daughter? How could it be like this? Is she... is Mrs. Meryl? I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this. It would be nice if I could come back earlier. "

"Mr. Abel is really a very kind person. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to live like this. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I am considered a small asset now. I originally planned to take you to a remote A small village, even if you can't go back to a border town, is still better than living here."

"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry!"

Ron said "blaming himself".

"If you don't mind, let us take care of you in the future. We will never let you get hurt again."

Matthew held the little girl in his arms, not minding the little girl's dirty appearance at all.

"mom!"

The soft breasts were pressed against the little girl's face. At this moment, her heart was finally touched.

“Wow——————!!!”

Big tears fell from the little girl's eyes. At the age of eleven or twelve, she had long known that her mother would never wake up again.

Seeing this, Ron and Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Combined with the "friendly" information provided by several residents living nearby, Ron and Matthew were able to stage such a play.

He hoped that even if she had lived in such an environment, the little girl could love the world.

You see, if it wasn't for her father who had helped Brother Ron and Sister Matthew, how could they be here to take care of her?

Be sincere and treat others with love. There are many bad people in this world, but there are also good people. The only thing that cannot be lost is your faith in life and your love for the world.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, can you tell me?"

She showed what she thought was a kind smile, but in the end, the little girl was so frightened that she hid behind Matthew and held on to the hem of Matthew's clothes.

"Don't be afraid, senior is not a bad person."

After hearing Matthew's comfort, the little girl plucked up the courage and said timidly.

"My, my name is Sylvie."

Ron:? ? ?

What do you say your name is?
