Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Chapter 224

The sky was gray, and the withered snowflakes fell to the ground, dyeing the world white.

The Kingdom of Sobel, the royal castle, the top.

A tall and burly figure like a giant bear sat on the top edge of the castle, with his legs casually hanging in the air.

He wore a strange spotted trapezoidal hat with two bear ears on it, black wool curly hair bursting out of the hat, and wore a black coat.

He looked serious and looked about 20 years old, but he had a unique maturity and calmness.

Cold snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on his hat and body, but he was indifferent, just concentrating on reading the thick book in his hand.

There was a newspaper next to him.

The world was silent, only the sound of a man flipping pages occasionally sounded.

"I didn't expect the king of the Kingdom of Sobel to be so young."

A low voice with a smile suddenly sounded behind him.

The man paused in flipping the book.

He adjusted his frameless glasses, closed the book, and turned around slowly with a dull look.

The air on the top of the castle suddenly twisted strangely, forming a small hurricane visible to the naked eye, and soon gathered a figure.

The dark green hooded windbreaker, tall figure, exuding a majestic and deep domineering aura.

"Nice to meet you, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Sobel, Lord Bartholomew Xiong."

The mysterious figure laughed mellowly, raised his hand to take off the hood covering his face, revealing a domineering and stern square face.

He had no eyebrows, and there were crisscrossing blood-red tattoos on his left face, which were extremely eye-catching in the snow.

"I know you."

Bartholomew Xiong stared calmly at the world-famous wanted criminal in front of him, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"'Son of Hero' Monkey D. Dragon."

Dorrag smiled:

"I am not a 'son of hero' now."

He pointed to the blood-red tattoo on his face.

"I am now just a world-class criminal with a high bounty on the shoulders of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters."

Bartholomew Xiong pursed his lips and said lightly:

"So, Mr. Dorag, why did you come to me?"

"The Kingdom of Sobel finally ushered in peace and stability. It is not easy for me to deal with a world-class criminal like you who hastily came to this peaceful country."

Dorague bowed slightly:

"I deeply apologize for my sudden visit."

He glanced at the heavy book with a cover in Bartholomew Xiong's hand, which was printed with the word "BIBLE", and suddenly said:

"Does Mr. Xiong believe in the existence of gods?"

Bartholomew Xiong said expressionlessly:

"In this sea, the gods stand high above the clouds. Isn't Mr. Dorag very clear about this?"

Dorague was silent for a moment.

Bartholomew Xiong put down the book and said to Dorag:

"Please explain your purpose, Mr. Dorag, and leave as soon as possible... If the government knows that you have come to the Kingdom of Solbe, I am afraid that this country will never have peace."

Dorag looked at him deeply and suddenly smiled:

"Mr. Xiong, I would like to invite you to join me... to change the world."

Bartholomew Xiong's expression did not change at all.

He slowly took off his gloves, revealing a bear-like hand.

There was a pink ball on the palm.

But it was this "cute" hand that made Dorag's pupils shrink suddenly.

Bartholomew Xiong said calmly:

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

"Mr. Dorag, you should leave."

"If you want to travel, where do you want to go? Maybe I can take you there."

Dorag frowned and said:

"Don't you want to listen to my ideas?"

Bartholomew Xiong shook his head and said:

"There is no need for that. I just want to protect the people of this country. I don't want to care about the rest, and I can't care about it."

As he spoke, he looked into the distance, with a gentle look in his eyes.

In the climate of Dongdao, smoke can be vaguely seen floating over every household on the island, and peace and tranquility are everywhere.

"Really..."

Dorag laughed.

He suddenly said something that seemed unrelated.

"Half a month ago, a slave ship that was supposed to be escorted from the South China Sea to the holy land of Mary Joa was sunk. All the slaves on the ship disappeared, but all the guards died;"

"Two months ago, the South

The slave trade in the port of Sealock was destroyed, and more than 500 slaves disappeared; "

"Five months ago, a slave trader from the South China Sea was killed at home, and his human trafficking fleet was completely destroyed on the same day..."

Doragu looked at Bartholomew Xiong with deep meaning, and smiled:

"There are many similar things, but do you need me to continue?"

Bartholomew Xiong was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that Mr. Dorag has done a lot of homework."

Doragu bowed sincerely again:

"If I have offended you, I apologize deeply."

He raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him who looked like a giant bear.

"But Mr. Xiong, the reason I came to you is because I know that you and I are the same kind of people."

"This world is already extremely dirty, full of darkness and dirt... Only a thorough reform can bring real change to this world. "

He glanced at Bartholomew Xiong's paw.

"If I'm not mistaken, your hands... are the "hands of liberation" that can bring freedom to people, right?"

Bartholomew Xiong's face changed slightly.

This was the first time that his expression changed.

-Even when Dorager told him all about his actions of saving slaves, his expression never changed.

"What do you know! ?"

He stared at Dorager with a vigilant look.

Dorager sighed.

"I don't know much. My old man protected me too well before. He tried to prevent me from knowing too much about the darkness of this world... But what he didn't expect was that some things can't be avoided."

He raised his head and looked up at the clouds, his eyes cold and his face mocking.

"Who would have thought that the most terrifying demon in this world is not in hell, but in heaven? "

…

Half an hour later.

Heavy snow.

At some point, Dorag and Bartholomew Bear were already sitting side by side, looking at the quiet Sobel Kingdom.

"I see..."

Dorrag let out a long breath, which condensed into white mist in the cold air, with a lonely look.

"The Battle of God Valley that year... This so-called "hero" battle to become famous was actually a genocide of genocide..."

His smile was filled with indescribable bitterness and deep shock.

"No wonder every time I asked, the old man looked reluctant to mention it..."

The Battle of God Valley 9 years ago was actually a "hunting game" in which the Celestial Dragons slaughtered the indigenous people of God Valley!!

They called God The Valley of the Gods was sealed off, and hunting games were held there, with the natives and various slaves being slaughtered as prey, and the extremely precious devil fruits were used as prizes for the winners!

The prizes even included the Fish-Fish Fruit Mythical Beast Type·Blue Dragon Form!

In the battle of the Valley of the Gods, this devil fruit was snatched away by Big Mom and then given to Kaido!

And Bartholomew Bear was a "slave" captured in the Valley of the Gods. He teamed up with Ivankov to snatch one of the devil fruits as a prize... the Meat Ball Fruit!

Using the Meat Ball Fruit's ability to slap people away, he kept saving the slaves of the Valley of the Gods, and finally escaped from the danger.

Bartholomew Bear whispered:

"Mr. Garp can't do much."

He looked down at his hands, his eyes slightly red.

"Just now you asked me if I believe in the existence of gods... I don't believe it."

"The reason I pray is because..."

"Guilt. "Drager continued.

"Yes."

Bartholomew Xiong lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

"Even if it's just one... If there really is a God, I want to pray to Him, even if I can save one more person, I will be satisfied."

"But... In the end, I couldn't save everyone."

He said with a lonely face.

What a gentle person...Drager stared at Bartholomew Xiong's dull face with his eyes, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Mr. Xiong, there is no God or savior in this world... Even those Celestial Dragons who think they are Gods, their blood is just like that of ordinary people."

"If you want to save everyone, you can only rely on yourself."

"Become my partner, let's save the world together! "

He stretched out his hand.

The eyes were firm.

Bartholomew Kuma looked at the young man in front of him with a sincere smile.

At this moment, many bloody scenes seemed to flash through his mind.

Escape, blood, corpses, screams, the grim smile of the Celestial Dragons...

Bartholomew Kuma took a deep breath.

Then...

Stretched out his hand.

The two held hands tightly

As if it was the most noble promise in the world.

…

"So where do we go next?"

Faced with Xiong's question, Dorag pondered and said:

"We are short of manpower, and we must gather all the forces we can rely on and trust... Since Ivankov is your friend and partner, we should go and see him."

Bartholomew Xiong nodded.

The Kingdom of Solbe is just a small country, and government affairs are easy, so you can rest assured to hand over government affairs to administrative officials.

"I know where he is."

Dorag smiled and nodded.

He casually glanced at the newspaper on the ground next to him, as if he saw something, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"This..."

Drager took a deep breath and murmured with a dumb smile:

"You are worthy of it, Darren... It seems that I have to speed up my pace, otherwise I will be left far behind by you."

Bartholomew Xiong looked at him curiously,

"Do you know this Brigadier General Darren?"

Drager withdrew his eyes from the newspaper and showed a mellow smile on his face.

"He is my..."

He clenched his fists.

"Best friend."
