[Pirate] Song of the Wind

2.4 The feeling of being protected is really good.

————————————————————————————————————————

"If you don't obey again," the old man threatened in a low voice against the sun, "D will eat you."

"Why did you eat me?" The young man raised his head and asked the old man, "Doesn't he eat food?"

The old man seems to have answered this question countless times, touching his head and slowly answering: "D, only eat people. The people they eat will never wake up again, and the things they touch will never return. The order of the places they stepped on was destroyed, and the road they traveled was full of trauma."

"So, is D a Devil?" The naive child thought it was an abbreviation for some kind of name, and asked the old man with wide eyes, "They are like the books, with a power that can block the sky and the sun." Black wings, can you swallow my bloody mouth in one gulp, and the terrifying red eyes that make people shudder?" The devil in the child's imagination is nothing more than this.

"But Al is not afraid." The child always has inexplicable stubbornness. "Father said that we are in a holy place, and we are protected by blood. Mary Gioia is a place that even demons and ghosts dare not approach. The place where we live The Holy Land is a sacred and inviolable place, and Al is not afraid of so many people dying for us."

The laughter of the old man came from such innocent words, and children can always take away all the haze, because there is nothing that cannot be solved from their innocent perspective: "No, what D brings is more terrible than that," The old man looked up into the distance and said slowly, "He will bring about the end of the world."

He repeated: "One day, D will destroy the world."

"You are our... last hope." Aquiles murmured softly, "Are you waiting for that demon?"

He covered his ears, trying to drive away the grief and wailing he heard, trying to drive away the voices of hatred.

But all the efforts were in vain, he could still hear the roar of anger, he could feel the resentment from the bottom of his heart, and... the killing intent.

Those voices growled in his ears and asked him why he didn't die.

Many things turned in Aquiles' mind, including the bright holy land of childhood and the snow-white buildings.There are men who keep their heads up and can never see their eyebrows clearly, and there are younger brothers and sisters who kill others if they disagree with each other.More eyes in the dark, angry, hateful, disgusted, fearful...

There are also hands, a pair of warm hands, like Rossi's father's hands: 'Come be my navigator? '

"I'm waiting for someone," Aquiles opened his mouth with difficulty. He felt as if his neck was being pinched by an invisible hand, and even breathing became very difficult. "I'm waiting for someone to pick me up." people." He didn't know why he said that, but he seemed to know that he should say it, and he should say it.

"Like you, I have been waiting for someone." At this moment, the air in the secret room suddenly began to flow, and the suffocation disappeared at this moment, as if everything was just his illusion, "I I waited for a long time until there was no one around, and I still haven't waited for him."

In those days in the Holy Land, in the days when Rossi was not around, all the Draconians told him that his ideas were wrong, told him that he was different, that he was pathologically insane, that he was polluted and rejected.

Everyone told him that it was not the world that was wrong, but himself.

"When I was about to give up, he came to me." Aquiles didn't know what he was talking about, he just felt his eyes gradually sinking into darkness, and then he saw a door in the darkness, a door Only a gap was opened, revealing the door with a warm white light.

People can't help but want to touch him, want to open him to seek more light and warmth: "He took me away."

"Then tell me, it's not me who's wrong, it's the world."

"Wrong, it's the world I live in!"

Those human beings kneeling on the ground, those multi-jointed eccentrics killed by Mu Cang O, those little wings on display, those murlocs who stained the pool red, those mermaids used as ornamentals, those furry ones hung on the wall, and those There are many, many, many, many voices of unjust deaths.

What they resent, what they hate, what they despise are not him who has been able to hear the voice all this time, not the Celestial Dragons who have brought them down to this point.It's the gods who claim to be superior, it's this unfair system, it's this colored class, it's this wrong world.

"I'm also waiting for someone," Aquiles heard a soft sigh in his ear, which slowly merged with his voice.The innocence of children and the vicissitudes of old people are strangely blended together in this dark secret room.

"Is it D?" By accident, Aquiles asked, "But D, what is it?"

"He is Dark, but also Dawn," replied the voice, "He is Dream, and Destiny. He is Deceiver, but he is also Deist. .He is a Despot, but more of a Democracy. They are the Death of a Dynasty, but they are also the Door of a Dreamland."

"I'm waiting for D's arrival." In a trance, Aquiles saw a man in a white robe, with long black hair like him, and a pair of eyes as clear as the sky.

Like a conductor commanding a chaotic movement, there seemed to be a loud buzzing and the words ended abruptly, and the surroundings became quiet.He couldn't hear his breathing, and couldn't hear those harsh voices. He was the only one sitting in the dark secret room. He seemed to wake up and realized that what he had experienced was nothing but a dream.

But he did see it, he saw a man, a man in a red cloak, facing the stars and the sea: "Roger..."

"Your captain is probably really crazy..." As if responding to his voice, Sarah's voice appeared at the door of the secret room.

Aquiles shook his head to wake up his drowsy brain, and only then did he hear the following words: "...the navy is an enemy of the entire kingdom." There was amazement, envy, and more that Aquiles didn't understand. thing.

"Roger?" There was no light in the secret room, and he couldn't see Sarah's expression clearly at this time, but what Aquiles could do was not only to hear the spoken voice, but more from the bottom of his heart, from the depths of his soul Something, "But you don't regret it." No regrets were on board and took him away.

As if hearing something funny, Sarah burst out laughing: "Regret? Of course I don't regret it. In fact, I am very grateful to you, very, very grateful to you." She was moving, and Aquiles heard something The sound of lightly touching the wall, "You are more grateful than you can imagine, Celestial Dragon."

The young Aquiles couldn't find any adjectives to describe the current Shala. It wasn't until he became sensible, traveled to many places, and met many people that he realized how to describe the situation in the darkness of that day. salad.

It was a gambler, a crazy gambler who put his family and life on the game, the joy after winning a big victory.

It was a traveler who was thirsty and hungry in the vast desert, and then wept loudly after seeing the oasis of the inn.

It was a queen, desperate at the last minute, a prayer for a predictable turnaround at the last moment.

It's just that at this time, Aquiles is still too young, he doesn't understand those complicated emotions, and he doesn't understand that all beings under the clouds are suffering.He only knew that behind Sarah's calm voice were obscure emotions.

"How did you know that I was a Celestial Dragon?" At that time, Aquiles was only curious, "How did you know?" He thought it might not be the companions on the ship, because they never put their identities Take it to heart, even many times he can't even remember that he is a Tianlong person.

Then it can only be the navy, or the world government, or... CP0.

"Navy." Sarah didn't mean to play charades, "I was surprised when I received the call. I didn't expect an unremarkable pirate ship..."

"That's the ship of the One Piece." Aquiles interrupted Sarah, and said firmly, "It's not some 'inconspicuous pirate ship', it's the pirate ship of the One Piece." He corrected seriously, amused I had a salad that was still a little tired.

She smiled and replied, "Well, there is a Celestial Dragon on the One Piece's ship." Sarah's attitude was very casual, not like the people Aquiles had seen outside the pirate ship who were in awe of the Celestial Dragon's identity.The attitude towards Aquiles is more about guilt and elder sister's love for younger brother.

"Before I came here, I was still thinking about what kind of boat can carry the next Tianlong people. But now I see, it's not certain who of you will tolerate who." Sarah sighed softly, "I thought I'd found a shit-stirring stick, but I didn't expect to grab a life-saving straw."

"Little brother, your captain is a king." She said solemnly, "like a king of the sea."

There was nothing in the darkness, but Aquiles still turned his head in the direction of Sarah: "What did you do?"

"I probably..." Sarah sighed softly, "I angered your king."

Even though she said that, there was no regret in her words.Aquiles could hear the sound of the coat rubbing: "It's just that you should be grateful to him, because if it weren't for him, you would have passed away long ago."

Yes, I should be grateful to him.

Aquiles thought belatedly.

Because if it wasn't for him, he would have passed away long ago.
