The dead body of Sam fell under the tree, his eyes were white, his chest was sunken, and his mouth and nose were full of blood. It seemed that he was dead. Not far away, Darrow was also staggering, as if he would fall down in the next second. It seemed that this battle also made him very uncomfortable. "This is really..." Looking at the scars all over his body, Darrow smiled bitterly, staggered to a huge stone with all his strength, and leaned on it to prevent himself from falling down. It was already 5 o'clock in the morning, as if to dispel the terrible dark night for the town of Batlila. The sun also rose slowly from the horizon, and the warm sunshine shone on Darrow's face. "What a beautiful sunrise." Darrow sighed. The tragic battle last night made this dawn precious.

On the back hill, Darrow overlooked the entire town. He could see that many houses were still burning, while some places had completely become ruins. About half of the town was affected by the artillery fire and became riddled with holes.

The quiet and dignified goddess Batlila showed a tiredness that she had never seen before.

The bombardment had stopped for a long time, and the residents hiding in the back hill seemed to have found that it was safe outside. Some residents hurried back to their homes to rescue their property, and some kind-hearted residents came out to search for survivors and help put out the fire.

This war was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Batlila, but in this turbulent era, such things happened from time to time, and it just happened to happen in Batlila.

Fortunately, only a few residents were affected in this battle, and more than 70% of the residents were safe and sound.

That's enough.

The fishermen in the fishing grounds suffered the most casualties. More than half of the fishermen died in this battle, and almost all of them were injured to varying degrees.

"Daro, Daro~~~~" With a cry that almost made her cry out, it was Lu Jiu who came.

Seeing the wounds all over Daro's body, Lu Jiu held back her tears, rushed to Daro's side in two steps, and helped him up.

"Sister..."

"Let's go home." Lu Jiu said softly to Daro in a low voice.

It was impossible to go home. On the way, Daro fainted due to excessive blood loss and was carried to the hospital by several residents of the town. Daro didn't know what happened next.

It is worth mentioning that not long after Daro fainted, the navy finally sent people and captured the remaining few remnants of the Giant Cannon Pirates, so it was not like they had done nothing.

It was not the Navy's fault that they were slow to arrive. There was no Navy stationed on the island, and the Cannon Pirates had planned to attack at night, hoping to wipe out the entire Batlila town before the Navy could react and completely destroy the corpses and traces.

But unfortunately, they met Darrow, Old Bridge West and Dutch, and the plan fell through.

Later, it was said that Old Bridge West came forward to negotiate with the Navy, and took back the bounties of Cannon Sam, Tooth Blade Wapo and Viper Snider, and used these bounties as funds for the reconstruction of the town.

The three were all members of the original Blood Hand Pirates, among whom Sam's bounty was the highest at 87 million Baileys, and the remaining two had a total of 90 million Baileys. This bounty of nearly 200 million really solved the urgent needs of Batlila Town.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the window on the third floor, shining on Darrow's face, disturbing his sweet dream.

Lying on the bed in the hospital in Batlila Town, he was tied up like a mummy. Lu Jiu, who was lying next to him, was lying on the bed, probably asleep. It seemed that she was exhausted from taking care of him these days.

Suddenly, several loud shouts came into Darrow's ears through the window.

"Hey, hey."

"Help me get those bricks."

Looking at the window, several town residents were working not far away. The town was arranging reconstruction in full swing.

Almost every household was repairing their own houses. Looking at everyone's enthusiasm, I'm afraid it won't be long before Batlila Town can restore its former prosperity.

After a while, Lu Jiu, who was standing next to him, seemed to be awakened by the sound of work.

"Ah, Darrow, you're awake." Seeing that Darrow finally woke up, Lu Jiu was very happy and asked with concern, "How do you feel? Are you hungry?"

"Pfft, haha, sister, why are there so many marks on your face." Da Luo smiled at the marks on Lu Jiu's face that were pressed by the quilt because she was lying on the bed.

"...Don't laugh." Lu Jiu said angrily.

With this little episode, Da Luo and Lu Jiu felt much better. Lu Jiu had a smile on her lips all morning.

"Daro is fine, it's really great." Lu Jiu thought happily.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!" A knock on the door sounded outside the ward.

"It should be Aunt Lucy coming to deliver food." Looking at the time, Lu Jiu reacted and said to her.

Sure enough, a drake voice came from outside the ward. "Lu Jiu, I'm here to deliver food to you."

This drake-like voice also confirmed Lu Jiu's guess that it was their neighbor Aunt Lucy.

"Hey, Darrow, you're awake, haha." Aunt Lucy, who was wearing an apron and had golden curly hair and a slightly fat body, opened the door and smiled when she saw Darrow waking up.

I don't know if it's the curse of the pirate world or something else, many young beauties have completely lost their figure in their later years, from streamlined sports cars to apocalypse tanks, such as Aunt Big Mom and Bandit Dadan.

The more beautiful you are when you are young, the more "willing" you are when you are old.

This Lucy is said to be a flower of Batlila when she was young, but she didn't withstand this vicious curse.

"Just now, I picked some fruits on the back mountain, Darrow, you try it." Lucy put down the lunch box in her hand and said to Darrow enthusiastically.

"Aunt Lucy, thank you so much." Lu Jiu said with emotion. During the days when Darrow was unconscious, Aunt Lucy cooked and sent meals to him, otherwise Lu Jiu really didn't know how to solve the problem of eating.

"Hey, it's okay. If it weren't for Darrow who beat the bad guys away this time, we wouldn't know what would happen. We should thank Darrow." As she spoke, Aunt Lucy took out a fruit basket from behind and continued.

"Come on, you're welcome. I heard that Darrow likes to eat sour food. This fruit is quite sour. Darrow should like it."

"......?" Darrow was puzzled after hearing this, thinking to himself, when did I like to eat sour food.

Until Darrow looked at the fruit basket, he was shocked, because he saw that among the four wild fruits lying in the fruit basket, one had a concentric circle pattern like a target.

This is clearly a devil fruit!!!

"How do you know I like to eat sour food?" Darrow asked, suppressing his surprise, his voice was a little trembling, and it can be seen that he was not calm at the moment.

"Hey, I asked Old Dutch. I must ask him about the fruit I picked from the back mountain. It happens that he used to hunt in the back mountain. He knows best whether the fruit on this mountain can be eaten."

"He said that the fruit is edible, but a little sour, but you like sour things the most." Aunt Lucy said, dispelling the doubts in Darrow's mind.

"...Thank you, Aunt Lucy." After a pause, Darrow said thank you seriously.

"Hey, kid, when did you become so polite? I heard from Qiao Xi that if you hadn't defeated that captain this time, we wouldn't have been able to escape even if we hid in the back mountain." Lucy waved her hand and said.

...

After sitting for a while, Lucy left, as if she was going to share the news that Darrow had woken up with others. In fact, many residents of the town had visited Darrow in the past few days, but they didn't know that Darrow was unconscious.

Because, for them, the person who saved the entire Batlila is the real hero.
