Pirate: Vice-Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates

Lielong said: "How can I know such a mysterious and mysterious question? You should ask those people in the Whitebeard Pirates. Their vision and strength are not comparable to those of me.

Although I have never seen them in person, I can see the gap between them and me from rumors and newspapers. To be honest, I actually know little about this forest. I can’t explain the situation in the forest clearly. I've seen many examples of people going berserk after learning the truth;

But somehow, after I woke up, I still remembered everything that happened before, and I didn't fall into a rage. Maybe I was a special case. "

Noelia said helplessly: "If I want to ask the two captains, I have to go back again, and I might not know where they are now. Even if I go back, I won't be able to find them.

And the two captains probably don't know if anything will happen to Yassen if they are taken out. I only ask you because you are the only one who did not fall into a rage after learning the truth. "

Lielong smiled, noncommittal.

Noelia sighed: "I never thought that I would see the "living Yassen" here again."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, even though I know they are no longer the real ones, but when I get along with Yassen, I still subconsciously treat him as a living person."

After saying that, Noelia suddenly realized something, and he said apologetically: “Sorry, I forgot.”

Lielong looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter, I don't suggest it."

Noria forgot that Lielong was one of these people. He just said that they were no longer the real ones, including Lielong.

"You said, what are we?"

Lielong suddenly asked Nolia such a question.

Noelia was a little unsure about the meaning of Lielong's question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Lielong murmured: "Do you think we are monsters created by this forest? The real us are dead, leaving only us monsters who inherit the previous memories. Once we learn the truth, we will fall into madness without distinction. Attack, tirelessly, not knowing life or death..."

Noelia pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

Lielong said: "Including Yasen, the people I gathered together still don't know the truth about themselves, and I haven't told them, because I know that not everyone is a special case like me.

One second he was just like a normal person, chatting and laughing with everyone, but the next second he turned into a monster. I have seen such a scene before, haha, you know why we always let that kid go wherever we go. Pathfinding? "

The head that poked out of the jungle before came to Noria's mind, and then shook his head.

Lie Long said: "Because I'm afraid they will bump into my body. Although everyone is dead, they regard themselves as living people in their hearts. The same goes for me. I regard them all as living people. I don't want to Let them die, even if they are just monsters with previous memories on the grassroots level. At the very least, this can be regarded as continuing to exist in another way, right?

You can treat Yassen as normal, and I treat them all as normal people. Because of this, I don’t want them to experience death again. This is too painful for them, isn’t it? "

Noelia was in awe.

"You are a great person."

Lielong smiled: "Isn't it great, haha,"

Noelia thought of something and asked doubtfully: "If you let that person explore the way, aren't you afraid that he will see your body?"

Lielong glanced at Nolia and said, "His body was buried, and I buried it myself."

"..."

Lielong waved his hand: "Okay, let's go. Before those beasts come over, there shouldn't be any danger if you leave."

"Beast?"

Noria was a little confused. The beasts were on the first level, which was the outermost edge of the island, but they were still some distance away from the outermost edge. However, the creatures in various areas of the forest had been completely disrupted. Now the beasts He could also leave the first floor, but as a dead dragon, how did he know this?

Noelia couldn’t understand.

Lielong saw Nolia's eyes and immediately knew what he was thinking: "Those of us who have died could not leave an area before. We could only wander in that area before, but we didn't know what happened before. , the restrictions here seem to have disappeared, and we can leave here and go somewhere else."

"So it is."

Noelia understood that it was just as he thought. From this point of view, wouldn’t it be possible that those black tides would appear here?

Thinking of this, Noelia's expression suddenly became ugly. Now they don't have the protection of Larson and Whitebeard. If they encounter those black tides again, they will definitely die without knowing how.

But it seems that those things were almost destroyed by the vice-captain's sword. This is good news for Nolia. It will take a lot of time for those black tides to recover. If they keep walking now, they should encounter Not on those things.

Noelia turned around. Just as he was about to lead everyone away, he saw Yassen who was chatting with his friends. He suddenly fell silent.

The most correct thing for him to do now is undoubtedly to take everyone away as soon as possible, go in the direction of the Whitebeard Pirates and find the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, who are now their teammates.

But now, Yasen's appearance makes him don't know what to do.

If they leave here, what will Yasen do?

Noelia wanted to take Yasen away, but he didn't know if Yasen could leave with them. No one knew whether the creatures on the island could leave the forest.

Noelia sighed and made a silent decision in his heart. He must be responsible for the safety of all his brothers. Yassen is dead, but there are still so many brothers alive. What is certain now is that every time they stay here, Every minute, there is danger every minute. The only right choice is to leave here as soon as possible.

"Everyone, get ready, we have to continue going out!"

After hearing Noelia's words, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.

But it was just that the cheerful atmosphere at the beginning suddenly disappeared and became a little depressing, just like when I first learned about Yasen's appearance.

Yassen didn't know what would happen next, so he said with a playful smile: "I'll see the adults of the Whitebeard Pirates soon. I'm really looking forward to it."

Noelia was silent,

Although the current Yasen is basically the same as the real Yasen, Noria knows that this is just a creation of the forest.

To be honest, Nolia didn't know if Yasen could leave the forest like this. He actually knew in his heart that it was wrong for him to do so at this time.

Because the real Yasen is dead, reason tells him that the most important thing to do now is to kill the person pretending to be Yasen in front of him. In fact, Nolia did think so at the beginning,

But until he got rid of Yasen and came into contact with Fierce Dragon, his idea slowly wavered.

He wanted to see if he could take this Yasen out, just as compensation for him.

But he didn't know what the consequences of doing this would be, and he didn't know if doing so would trigger something particularly dangerous, but he still did it, just because this guy's smile and speech were really the same as in his memory. The Yassen is exactly the same.

Nolia was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. Nolia turned around and saw Lielong walking over at some point.

He remembered that Lielong had left with those people after they separated from him just now. Why did he come back at this time?

Lielong came back just to say a word. He asked Nolia, do you think these things of ours are really made by the forest?

Noria’s face was full of doubts.

Lielong smiled, patted Nolia's shoulder again, and said: "Although it may be a bit mysterious, I think we just died physically before. This forest has no ability to create life. He It's just a container that can accommodate our souls.

And those guys who fall into madness when they see their own corpses may also be because of these physical defects. "

Noelia was shocked. He had never heard of anyone describing these second-level people who were exactly the same as the dead before.

Not even Larson had such an idea before.

Lielong said: "Maybe in the eyes of you living people, you think we are really dead, but we know our own situation well. We all feel that we are living people. There are no devil fruits that can control the soul in this world." Yes, this forest means nothing, right?"

Noelia was so shocked that she couldn’t add anything, and stood there without saying anything for a long time.

Lielong left without saying hello to anyone and left alone.

When leaving, Yasen saw the senior who had taken care of her all the way, greeted him, and called Brother Long.

Lielong just smiled and waved his hand towards him, indicating that he didn't need to come over. He turned into the forest, but his current "partners" gathered together and continued his journey of searching, continuing to look for those who were there. In the forest, a poor man was "abandoned" by his companions.

"Boss? Boss?"

Noelia, who calmed down after being called twice, looked at Roja in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Roja didn't know what the boss was thinking just now, but he was so serious. He said: "Everyone is ready, we can leave at any time."

"oh, I see."

Noelia found that everyone had gathered in front of him at some point, and they were all waiting for him.

It seemed that he was really serious just now and didn't even notice so many people approaching.

Noelia's eyes stopped at Yassen, who was standing at the front of the crowd, and said softly: "Let's go."

Everyone started heading outside.

Noria was walking at the front. He should have been vigilant at all times to protect the safety of his companions, but he seemed absent-minded and in a daze.

Everyone looked confused. They didn't understand why the boss was so distracted when it was so dangerous.

At this time, Nolia kept thinking about what Lielong said in his mind.

'What do you think we are? '

'Are we really just a creation of the forest? '

"The forest has no ability to create life, it only creates a body that can hold our souls.'

Nolia didn't believe Lielong's words, but he didn't object in his heart.

Lielong was the first person Nolia saw who was not crazy after learning the truth. No one knew what secrets he had hidden in him.

Noelia had only been with him for such a short time, so of course he would not believe his words so casually.

Moreover, when Lielong said these words to Nolia, he did not follow Noria's words and spread his words. In this way, people's attitude towards these people on the second level will be completely changed.

Because in the beginning, these people are just manufactured replicas in the eyes of normal people. Everyone has no sympathy for these people and kills them without mercy. But once word spreads like this, the final result will be different. .

Others will consider this to be their dead brother and they will have no further animosity.

Noelia smiled bitterly, looking at it this way, is Yasen now the same Yasen before?

Noria sighed, is this really the case? He doesn't think so, because if it is really the case, then why does Yasen not have the memory of the last time he died.

Since it is the same soul, it should be a complete memory at the grassroots level. I have never heard of it and deliberately forgot about it.

So is Lielong lying to himself?

Noria pursed his lips. In fact, no matter whether Lielong was telling the truth or lies, he couldn't regard the Yasen in front of him as the real Yasen.

Because if everyone really regards him as the real Yasen, does Yasen, who gave his life to save Roja, count as his life?

Can a life really be replaced at will?

Noelia clenched his fists unconsciously, and then he suddenly heard the sound. He was still in the forest, and in the forest full of dangers, he was the only one with the only combat power in his team. If he encountered danger, he would now His behavior was undoubtedly leading to death. Thinking of this, Nolia broke into a cold sweat.

He quickly came to his senses and stopped thinking.

He secretly thought that Lielong had mistaken him, and he had to tell him this before leaving, otherwise why would he be thinking about it all the time now.

He couldn't understand these questions, so he thought he would ask the two captains after they left the forest.

Noelia thought so in his heart. He now completely regarded Whitebeard and Larson as captains. He believed that there was nothing that the two captains could not solve. He also naturally believed that the two captains must know this problem.

Ever since meeting Larson's Susanoo, he believed that if there is a god in this world, then this must be Larson.
