Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

This was supposed to be a peaceful day.

Like every day before...

He would stay in Punk Hassad, sit on the grass with Dr. Vega Punk and his adopted Zhan Momomaru, enjoy the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in the Punk Hassad forest, and coax him to show Zhan Momowan the yellow laser like a child.

The boy wearing a red bellyband who could knock out a bear with one punch would shout excitedly, while Vegapunk in a white coat stood not far away with his hands behind his back and looked at them with a smile.

This is a time for three people who have a good relationship, and it is also a rare afternoon tea time without anyone interrupting them.

But all the peace was disrupted by the anxious adjutant.

Porusalino withdrew his fingers that were shining with yellow light, raised his head and narrowed his eyes, looking at his adjutant with a slightly surprised expression.

The usually steady and shrewd adjutant was now sweating profusely.

Meeting his gaze, the adjutant opened his mouth.

As if he thought of something, he closed his mouth again and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a fearful expression.

At that moment, the adjutant thought a lot.

But based on his understanding of Porusalino, no matter how he told it, he would be angered in the end.

To be honest, the adjutant was very afraid of his own superior.

Because no one has ever thought through this person's thoughts.

But... only when it came to the mermaid princess Zenia, he saw through this man thoroughly.

At that moment, the adjutant seemed not to think of anything...

Life cards burn too fast.

No time at all for fear and rhetoric.

Regardless of the fact that there were two other people present, the matter was serious. The adjutant had fear on his face, but he spoke very quickly: "Sir, the life card... the mermaid princess's life card is burning rapidly, you... "

Before he finished speaking, the adjutant saw the man who had just been sitting cross-legged on the ground with a leisurely posture shrinking his pupils, then frowning and disappearing into a ray of yellow light.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, his eyes subconsciously following the place where the yellow light disappeared.

Over there is... the port where warships dock.

Yes, the life card that was carefully sealed in a palm-sized crystal box by the commander was placed in the office on the ship, and was placed in a position that was more important than work and documents.

Even after Chief Porusalino finished his work, he would selectively put the crystal box containing the life card into his pocket according to his mood.

It's not that big of a deal to carry it around, but you can always see him playing with that little box most of the day.

Every time he saw the officer looking deeply at the life card floating in the box in one direction, the adjutant understood that it was the officer who was missing His Highness again.

But just today, when he was sending the documents from the headquarters to the office, he saw that the life card placed in such an important position beside his hand actually lit up.

The red sparks burned the white life card.

The red swallowed ashes scattered and disappeared silently.

Like someone's life...

The adjutant suddenly came to his senses.

He was going to take a look.

If that life card...he meant if, if that life card burned out, he didn't dare to think about what would be waiting for him.

So the adjutant hurriedly bowed in the direction of Vegapunk, and regardless of Vegapunk's hesitant questioning expression and Zhan Momomaru's loud inquiries as he caught up, he turned around and ran quickly towards the port.

However, the moment he stepped onto the Punk Hassad port, a dazzling yellow light broke through the hull of the warship and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The adjutant stared blankly as the yellow light disappeared, and then realized that something was wrong.

He quickly gathered his men, and the warship dispatched urgently, quickly chasing in the direction where the yellow light disappeared.

Kuzan’s mission this time is to inspect the third route of the ‘Paradise’.

The mission was easy. Not only did we catch many pirates along the way, we also saw through several human trafficking ships disguised as merchant ships, and saved many innocent people who were illegally trafficked.

At this moment, Kuzan was standing on the side of the ship with his hands in his pockets, watching the soldiers under his command detain the businessmen who were buying and selling people, and at the same time soothing the emotions of the rescued people.

There were cries of gratitude from the merchant ships on the opposite side, and the navy soldiers comforted each other. The scene was warm and lively.

Kuzan's face, which has become more determined as he matures, has no expression, but his eyes under the round sunglasses are shining softly.

He is a gentle man, and his heart is as fiery as his 'burning justice'.

Faced with the scene of desperately crying and grateful for the rest of his life, who can not be moved?

At this moment, facing these rescued people, Kuzan was proud because he was worthy of the justice behind him.

Suddenly, a little burning temperature came from the center of his heart.

He was stunned.

Because of the fruit's ability, he is more sensitive to temperature.

And what is placed on the heart...

Realizing something, he suddenly reached into his clothes, grabbed it out, and spread it out. In his palm lay a half-burned life card that was still burning.

It's Yaya's life card.

how come……

Kuzan's heart trembled.

He was holding the life card in panic, which was about to float slowly into the wind after it was freed from restraints.

Burns quickly.

There was only half a piece left, and in the blink of an eye, three-quarters of it had been burned.

Such speed...

Kuzan panicked.

He clenched the remaining life card in his hand, turned around and ran towards the direction where the life card had just floated away.

His expression was blank, his thick lips were pursed tightly, and his pupils were trembling violently due to anxiety, disbelief, worry and other emotions.

The tall man pushed away the crowd, stumbling on his feet, his cloak of justice flying awkwardly and messily behind him, which also attracted waves of unexplained exclamations...

Until the adjutant saw him and shouted in confusion: "Major General Kuzan, there is the sea in front of you, where are you going?"

This sound completely brought the panicked man back to his senses.

Kuzan stopped and looked around, seeing the endless blue water.

Today's weather is good. Pure white clouds are floating leisurely in the sky. Seagulls flying along the boat are chirping and flying. The salty but warm sea breeze blows the slightly curly hair. The hair sticks to the cheeks, along with the sweat. Sticky to the face.

Unknowingly, Kuzan was already sweating profusely.

He stared blankly at everything in front of him.

Realization dawned.

This is the sea, the endless sea.

But she was in a distant unknown sea...

He lowered his head and slowly opened his palms.

The life card that has been kept close to me like a treasure has been burned to the end...

The burning ashes float into the wind and are carried away by the wind.

He let out a short and hoarse sound, and tried to hold something with his broad and slender palms, but he could only watch the last bit of pure white being swallowed up by scarlet.

In the end, he caught nothing.

Nothing...caught...

An indescribable feeling of powerlessness hit me on the head.

In an instant, Kuzan felt that everything around him had lost its color, the noisy sounds gradually faded away, and even his beating heart became quiet.

He stood blankly in the wind, standing in the pure white color, with the cloak of justice flying behind him, but his heart... suddenly started to hurt.

A familiar call came to my ears.

【Kuzan~】

Faintly, the familiar girl stood under the cherry blossom tree, standing among the noisy night scene crowd, standing in the simple living room...

Countless times I looked back with a smile, and countless times called his name with bright and white teeth.

【Kuzan~】

Yaya~

He stretched out his hand towards the void, wanting to touch the person in his memory.

However, in the end, they are all just false illusions, phantoms that can be shattered at the touch of a touch...

A little bit of light shattered and scattered at the fingertips, but the pictures in my mind of getting along were so beautiful and moving.

He froze on the spot, and a tearing pain suddenly erupted in his heart.

he thinks……

Want to see you once!

See you again...

"Major General Kuzan, Major General..."

The crowd erupted in exclamations.

The tall figure suddenly knelt down on one knee, breathing heavily.

The light and shadow in front of him were blurred by the severe pain coming from his heart.

He held his body up with one arm to prevent him from falling, and heard the anxious shouts of the adjutant in his ears.

But Kuzan couldn't hear anything at the moment.

He had only one thought.

"Find her..."

The adjutant stepped forward and asked worriedly: "What? Major General Kuzan, what did you say?"

He held his forehead with his other big hand, and thin beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. He murmured painfully: "...I want to find her!"

Regardless of life or death, regardless of whether he can see the last side, he will...

Find her, hold her tight, and never let her leave his sight again...
