[One Piece] Uncrowned King

"Newgate—!!"

Seeing the man who seemed to be able to hold the sky forever fell down, Teresa suddenly felt that everything in front of her eyes suddenly became dark, whether it was the nervous calls of the children, the figure of the man, or the forever closed body in her arms. The young man with closed eyes...all of this has become blurred.She didn't dare to think about what she would do if Newgate really walked ahead of her in such a sudden way.

In her hand, she was still holding Sach's hand that was unable to hang down. The continuously dropping body temperature and the slipping vitality made Teresa's whole body cold, and the uncontrollable suffocation came to her heart, causing her pain. It was so difficult to breathe that he couldn't think, so he could only tighten his palms, trying to grab something hard.But the young man she tried to catch would never get up again to make her laugh, telling her Mom, I was just joking.She could no longer wait for the comfort from this child, so she could only carry on by herself.Or the coldness from those hands reminded her of the truth, the darkness in front of Teresa's eyes dissipated a little, she blinked, let the tears flow down her cheeks, looked ahead, and shouted in a choked voice: " Newgate..."

The man who fell suddenly was not unable to get up, he knew better than anyone what was on his shoulders.Looking up at the woman who accompanied him from infancy to the present and has never left, Newgate bent his knees when he fell, and propped up his other foot vigorously, supporting his body in a half-kneeling position without continuing fall down.The sudden downward thrust caused a sense of tightness in his chest, and he coughed violently uncontrollably, spitting out a large puddle of blood.

"Dad!!" Marco and the others hurried forward, trying to help him up.

Newgate reached out to wipe off the blood on his mouth, raised his hand to stop several people, and said, "I'm fine." After speaking, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and stood up again. His body shook a bit, but he still stood firm after all. After the dizziness in his head subsided, he slowly walked up to Teresa, squatted beside her, and said, "Don't worry, Teresa."

The man's voice exploded from his ears, and tears continued to overflow from his eyes, blurring his vision.One of Teresa's hands was still tightly grasping Sage's hand, while the other hand was raised to cover his face, and said, "Newgate..."

She thought she could be very strong.

She always thought that she could be strong and watch him leave before her.

It turned out that she had always overestimated herself.

Even in her 70s, she still hasn't become much stronger. She is still as afraid of parting as she was when she was young, afraid of losing. She is afraid of anyone around her leaving, and even more afraid of this person leaving.

It turned out that she had always been strong because of having this person by her side.

Because she knew that he would always be there, she could muster up the courage to step over any hurdle time and time again.

She straightened up and tried her best to raise her arms to rub against his face, feeling the warm temperature above, and the breath on her arms from time to time, so that she could definitely feel that he was really still by her side.Although the face in front of her was already full of wrinkles, those light golden eyes never changed.Teresa wept with joy, choked up and said, "It's so warm...Newgate...Newgate..."

It turns out that she has never been strong.

.........

Seeing that she had regained her sanity, Newgate felt relieved, but he let go of the things he had been worrying about all the time, and the physical discomfort emerged one after another. Beard, not only frowned.And this slight change in his expression did not hide from Teresa's eyes. Knowing that Newgate was not as relaxed as he showed, Teresa quickly pulled herself together, and carefully put down Sage's hand that had lost temperature. , when she saw the child's bloodless and smiling face, she couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes, but she knew that now was not the time to be uncomfortable. As the elder on this ship, she still had a lot to do, besides, Newgate's The body still needs her care.

Closing her eyes and swallowing her grief, Teresa stood up and said, "Marco...Let Sarge rest well...and the matter of Tikki...find out what is going on first. Also, help me inform Hippocrates , Let them arrange a few nurses to come over, and don’t let outsiders know.” If there is news of Whitebeard’s physical condition, there is no guarantee that the world government will not take action.And Tiki... Although he doesn't know the reason, the fact that Titch killed his companion is certain, and she can't forgive him no matter what.It's just that you can't just go after it so presumptuously.The fruit that can make Tiqi would rather commit a great crime than to obtain it is definitely not ordinary. Let those impulsive boys act rashly, I am afraid that their sacrifices will be in vain.

"Yes." Marco nodded. He had a lot to do, find out the truth, and inform his brothers and sisters to give Sach a ride. He also understood what his mother meant, after all, there were too many reckless guys on board.Thinking of this, the shadow of Ace suddenly appeared in Marco's mind. He felt something bad in his heart, and quickly said to Joz: "Go and keep an eye on Ace, don't let him leave the boat."

"I see." Joz nodded, took a deep look at Sachs, and turned away with red and swollen eyes.

From the day they became pirates, they were already prepared to stay here with their lives, but it was still difficult to accept that the person they left was someone they had been with day and night.Moreover, the perpetrator was also a man who had lived and died with him for decades.There is no way to restore the life of the partner who has passed away, not even revenge... This kind of pain is hard for a group of pirates to accept.

Sach lay quietly in his room, his eyes were tightly closed, with a smile on his mouth, as if he was asleep.The captain of the white beard, a man who has been on the sea for more than ten years, if it wasn't for the person he trusted the most, how could he lose his life so easily...

Sach can be said to be the most enthusiastic guy in the Whitebeard Pirates. He always looks like he has nothing to worry about. No matter how bad the other party's attitude is, he can always lend a helping hand with a smile.When Ace was taken aboard by his father and was confused, he was the first to reach out and lead him out of the shadows step by step.

But such him died at the hands of his best brother.
