The True Path of Pirates

When the sun shone into the room from the window sill, Ruiden opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw the cute sleeping face of the shy cat in his arms and felt the soul-melting softness, he quickly closed his eyes again. He moved his hands gently with what he thought were subtle movements.

"Being smart is not a good habit."

"well?"

Robin gets up at 6 o'clock every day. Even though he went to bed very late last night and his body was very tired, he still got up "unshakably".Coupled with the vigilance she has cultivated over the years, how could she not notice such a big "move" by Ruiden.

Robin tried to get up, but suddenly she noticed that the man's arms suddenly became very strong, imprisoning her soft body on the bed.

"It's really too much~ It's already morning..."

"What happened in the morning? Do you look down on the morning? That morning will be very sad! Now I will 'punish' you instead of the morning..."

"Master! Have you gotten up?"

"*!"

In this way, the appearance of one "Little Ben" ruined the performance of another "Little Ben" and made Redden's mood suddenly deteriorate to the extreme.

Finally, the door opened, and Xiao Ben walked into this room with a document that had more fragrance and "murderous intent" than before.When he saw his master's sharp eyes surrounded by dark circles, Ben couldn't help but shudder.

"Master...good morning, master."

"Okay... okay, okay, no!"

"..."

Xiao Ben quickly diverted his attention, no longer looking at the master who seemed to be eating people, but instead focused on the young woman who looked very quiet and elegant, who was sitting on the chair studying the rubbing paper. His face immediately turned into a sweet smile.

"Master Wife, good morning!"

"Huh? Good morning, you are such a good boy."

"Hehe~"

Xiao Ben glanced at the fierce master with some pride, but saw that Ruiden's face was no longer angry, but was full of fun.And the "Master's Wife" who had been so gentle to him just now also walked up to him, knelt down and touched Xiao Ben's hair with her hands.

"Your little mouth is so sweet. No wonder that Miss Monet likes you so much~"

"Huh? No..."

"I wonder how many girls will be deceived by you in the future~"

"Ah I……"

"You still want to quibble, it's really... not cute!"

"I-woo~"

Xiao Ben looked at Robin's "gentle" smile, but felt that his whole body was as cold as an ice cellar, and tears began to well up in his eyes - it was completely out of fear!

"Go away, go away, you useless thing, I'll scare you! Be careful next time and don't let Archie use you as a weapon again! That bastard is very bad!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Ben wiped his tears, then handed the file in his hand to Robin, and ran out of the room in a hurry, seemingly going to seek revenge on Archie.

"Gee, how do you know it was your good assistant Archie who did it?"

"Vicky doesn't have the brains, Dadi isn't that boring, Luo is too young, and the others don't have the guts. Who else but him?"

"There are indeed many trustworthy people around you..."

Ruiden walked up to Robin, hugged her into his arms, and held her slender fingers in his hands, so that the two of them were firmly attached to each other.

"What's mine is yours, and you'll live this way - stay with me forever on the Benjamin, Robin!"

"Well, I really want to agree. But... I can't."

"Why? If it's the world government and navy, you don't have to worry, I..."

Although Robin's hands were firmly grasped, Redon's warm lips still stopped him from speaking, allowing him to feel Robin's purest love with doubts.

After a long time, the lips parted.Robin's right hand escaped from Ryden's hand, and then gently covered Ryden's face.

"Ginji, I will always remember the scene when you told me your 'dream'. The innocent boy at that time was much cuter than the man who is so hands-on now~"

"..."

"No matter what your original intention is, your dream will completely change the world! I don't want to be a selfish woman who will only delay you. I want to help you realize your dream, just like you helped me."

"I'm not that great - I'm just a selfish person. If possible, I just hope to be with you forever..."

Different from before, this time it was a somewhat harsh finger that blocked Ruiden's mouth.

"Don't say such useless words. I still want to fulfill the dream that my mother and I share - to explore the 'truth' of this world! Without you, who can support me and protect me? You know, During the two months I was at 'home', Nokigao and Nami, although they didn't say it with their mouths, were very proud of their 'Thunder Emperor' father!"

"I understand! I won't give up, and the current situation leaves me no room to retreat. It's just that I feel...a little tired."

"I understand this too. And not only me, my sisters, your friends, but also those who are on the same side as you, and even those who are enemies, also understand that you have worked hard."

Redon hugged Robin tightly, buried his head in her ear, and let out a long breath.Robin also stroked his back, comforting the man who carried everything on his shoulders.

"By the way, there is actually another reason besides this. Can you guess it?"

"What? I can't guess..."

"Haha, that's true. Just like my sister said, you really can't handle women..."

"Ah! I'm going to be angry again!"

"Yes, yes, my lovely Mr. Ginji."

Ruiden's pressure has been relieved a lot, and his mood has returned to normal.He raised his head and looked at Robin with mock annoyance.Robin also raised his hands and kneaded his cheeks, imitating someone else's example and kneading his cheeks into various shapes.

"This time I came with my sister's mission. The purpose is to 'investigate' someone's performance!"

"I behaved very well~"

"But if I stay with you for too long, my situation will become very embarrassing. Do you understand, Mr. Emotional Idiot?"

"Hmph~ I'm very smart~"

"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot about the real thing."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Robin "escaped" from Redon's arms, and then took out a phone bug from the huge windbreaker.

"Is this a dictaphone bug? What are you going to do?"

"Send the recording to your wife~ This is included in the mission."

"Recording...recording!? When...oh! All of it?"

"Giggle, that's right."

"Wouldn't it also record the sounds at night?"

"How could something like that be recorded~ Idiot!"

"It hurts!"

...

With the company of a beautiful woman, time naturally flies by, and soon the year 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar has passed.

In this way, Robin spent the second half of 1510 with Redon.But when the New Year came, no matter what Redon said, Robin still insisted on leaving.And Ruiden no longer stopped, he just handed her the phone bug that contacted him and the life card, and bid her farewell with the highest-level "salute".

In the year 1511, Ruiden was immersed in communicating with the Seven-Star Sword and used all channels to find the fruit suitable for the Seven-Star Sword. Unfortunately, he has not found one that satisfies him yet.

Ruiden's physical recovery is also more ideal. He himself can even notice that the increasingly vigorous vitality is constantly transforming his body, causing fundamental changes in his physical ability!

Under the operation of the Warring States Period, Xiaoli finally left the research institute and came to the "Benjamin" on Fish-Man Island.However, when she arrived, she didn't even say a few words to anyone, but she directly "occupied" Luo's research room and began to conduct research on Devil Fruit weapons in accordance with Ryden's "begging".

Fortunately, Xiaoli is a sword researcher. She is very interested in this kind of research and has a certain research foundation.Enilu and Luo became her subordinates, helping her with daily tasks, but they did learn a lot about research.

Against this background, 1511 seemed to have wings and passed quickly...

February of the year 1512 of the Haiyuan calendar.

The "Benjamin", which has been stationed at Fishman Island for two full years, finally weighed anchor!In a large open space at the port, the fishmen soldiers were forming a large circle, staring intently at the four people in the center.

"Katz! Katz! Crack! Crack!"

Blue-white lightning and green flames filled the entire sky and filled everyone's eyes.When the thunder and flames dissipated, the figures of the four people appeared in everyone's eyes again.

"That's not fair! Vicky is completely useless!"

"It's more than useless, it's simply a 'traitor'! All that electricity from you is on me!"

"Huh? Do you blame me?"

Vicky, Dadi and Archie were slumped on the ground, their combat uniforms were somewhat damaged, and they looked very embarrassed.Ruiden, who had put both blades back into their scabbards, slowly walked toward them and stretched out his hands to them.

"You haven't been idle in the past two years, that's right!"

"But the enemy will not be idle, we still need to become stronger."

"Yeah...but Ryden, how are you feeling now?"

"Feel?"

Ryden pulled the three of them up from the ground, then looked at his hands with an arrogant laugh on his face!

"Hahaha! It feels... it feels so terrible! It even gives me the illusion that I can destroy everything!"

Ryden raised his right hand above his head, and a thick blue-purple thunder flew directly into the sky, stopped at a certain distance from the bubble wrap of Fish-Man Island, and then spread!

The terrifying thunder covered all the sunshine from Yangshu Eve!All the residents of Fish-Man Island were shocked by the lightning all over the sky. They walked to the street one by one and looked up at the sky like a miracle!

"What's this?"

"Is Fish-Man Island going to... be destroyed?"

Aaron and the "murloc guerrillas" he led were also looking at the sky in horror. This suffocating smell of electricity carried an extremely terrifying prestige, plunging their hearts directly into the deepest despair.

"Don't worry! It's Lord Ruiden! It's Lord Ruiden's ability!"

"It turns out to be Master Ruiden! No wonder!"

"This is the 'King Protector' of our Fish-Man Island! The patron saint of Fish-Man Island!"

"Patron Saint! Patron Saint!"

I don’t know who was the first to say these words, and similar words like lightning were transmitted to every corner of the Fish-Man Island almost instantly, causing the fear in the hearts of the fish-men and mermaids to disappear immediately, and instead It turned into overwhelming adoration and excitement.

"Look! What is that?"

"It's Lord Ryden!"

"Lord Ryden!"

Surrounded by the thunder in the sky, a figure that is only slightly larger than a black dot is standing alone in the sky, accepting the kneeling of all the thunder and lightning.

The residents of Fish-Man Island also spontaneously knelt on the ground, offering their respect and loyalty to the "gods" in the sky.

"Brother Aaron! You also..."

"What? You too!"

"My mother almost died of illness, but Lord Ruiden's men saved her!"

"We guerrillas also rely on the salary from 'Paradise'. We have done almost nothing in the past two years, but we have never been hungry!"

"Yes! My child reached school age two days ago, and now he comes back every day and tells me what happened at school!"

"Me too...me too..."

Aaron's younger brothers also knelt on the ground and were whispering to each other excitedly.Aaron also glanced at the man in the sky again. After laughing a few times, he knelt down on one knee and lowered his head!

"Inhabitants of Fish-Man Island! I am Benjamin Redden!"

Ruiden's voice passed through the thunder in the sky, majestically and clearly reaching everyone's ears.The fishmen and mermaids were even more excited. They closed their mouths one by one and listened carefully to Redon's speech.

"The public tunnel in the Red Continent has been completed! Fish-Man Island is no longer the only choice for pirates to travel to the new world. Fish-Man Island is truly safe! And the 'Paradise' is basically completed. From now on, Fish-Man Island will become It will become the safest tourist destination in the world and an important 'bridge' for the fish-men and mermaids to rejuvenate!"

In Ryugu Castle, Neptune and Princess Otohime, along with Shirahoshi and the others, looked at Riden's figure and listened to his speech, tears began to well up in their eyes.Shirahoshi hugged his mother with his soft hands, giving the trembling Princess Otohime a gentle support.

"And our purpose is more than that! Fishman Island not only needs safety, but also freedom, equality and prosperity! Every child can learn useful knowledge in school! Every man can freely choose his own career! Every woman can Don’t worry about being captured as a slave! Until the end, Fish-Man Island will be completely revived, and then it will bring everyone to the surface to a place where they can bathe in the sun!”

Except for the babies who didn't understand human language, all the 500 million residents of Fish-Man Island shed tears almost simultaneously, making the already wet ground of Fish-Man Island even more moist, and even reflecting the light of thunder and lightning.

Although these fishmen and mermaids have not yet been able to see the sun, in their eyes, the flashing thunder in the sky is the "sun" in their hearts!
