[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

Until night fell, until the Navy Headquarters received the shocking news and immediately sent sergeants from many nearby naval bases to support, until they almost carried up the bodies of the victims that could still be found, until...

Kuzan turned into an element again, pulled out an ugly sailor's corpse stuck between the cabin and the broken plank, and placed it on the ice... As soon as he transformed into a human form on the ice, he felt the familiar breath gradually approaching.

"Sakaski!" He turned around quickly, and it was the tall colleague who was covered in ice scum, and his clothes and trousers were already wet.

Sakaski lowered his head, and under the shadow of the brim of his hat, Kuzan couldn't see his expression clearly...

How about it?Did you find her?

Kuzan couldn't ask such words.

Just at the moment when he was about to pass by, Kuzan grabbed Sakaski's arm suddenly and stopped the man's footsteps.

"...The best time for search and rescue has not yet passed, we still have hope!" Kuzan knew that this statement was too far-fetched, but at this moment, he could only use this kind of words...

"No need."

He has searched everywhere he can.

The only thing I can't find is this blank sea...

The tall colleague in a dark red suit didn't raise his head, and returned in a hoarse voice.

Kuzan: "What nonsense are you talking about! Now there is no evidence to prove that she has... tsk! No matter what, we should continue to look for it! We can't let her just stay in a corner waiting to die alone like this!! "Miss Bai Qiangwei of his family and the golden-haired Tianlongren are brothers and sisters. If she knows that they gave up searching at this moment...even if it is a corpse, how can she spare them!

And Inesis is still...

"..." Sakaski seemed to open his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

He broke free from Kuzan's hand, and slowly opened his clenched fist to his anxious colleague.

Kuzan: "!!! This is not..."

An emerald, drop-shaped emerald pendant, and a delicate silver chain with beautiful arabesques—a unique and very distinctive precious necklace. With just one glance, Kuzan can be sure that this is the one that has appeared in Innes all the year round. A fixed ornament around his neck—no matter what the occasion, the blond Celestial Dragon would wear this chain from her husband around her neck. Seeing this chain was almost like seeing Inesis herself.

Sakaski's voice is a kind of hoarseness that has been numbed to the extreme, and every word he utters is suppressed and moving:

"There are a few scattered corpses wearing pirate costumes on board, but to cause such a large destructive and lethal force, there must be more than just a few pirates who committed the crime."

"The property on the boat was almost ransacked. I found this chain in the sea. It should have been dropped in a hurry and I didn't notice it."

"The chain was not broken, which means that these pirates value property very much, and all the hostages died tragically. It shows that the pirates are dismissive of things other than finances. When the property is plundered, the hostage loses its value."

"Inesys either became a hostage and was taken away by the escaped pirates to threaten more property, or was immediately silenced by the troublesome pirates to prevent future troubles. Judging from the current situation, the military does not If we haven’t received any contact asking for ransom or other property, it’s very likely that the pirates were satisfied with this wave of plunder and killed all the hostages on board, leaving none behind.”

"Even if her body cannot be found, the chances of her surviving are almost zero."

After the call, he calmed down as if this matter had nothing to do with him...

Kuzan clearly felt the forbearance of his colleagues who were so tense that they were about to explode in the next second.He opened his mouth, but his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, he has nothing to say...

Sakaski suddenly raised his head, stared at him with dark eyes that were almost emotionless, and said in a deep voice:

"Where are the deserters who fled in the face of danger?"

The possibility of his wife being buried in the sea is as high as 90%. At this moment, his anger must find a breakthrough...

"Abandoning companions in the face of danger, abandoning missions, and leaving hostages who have no resistance to escape privately... There is no need for such waste to exist in the navy!"

Even if he knew that even if those little soldiers did not escape and stayed on the ship to fight, they would not be able to save the situation in the end, but as long as he thought of his wife... who was still pregnant, she was abandoned by the navy at the most desperate moment and stayed in the On the purgatory ship, let the sharp knives of those villains penetrate the heart...

boom--

The magma billowing with thick smoke rose from the ground and exploded on the ice!Almost instantly, the ice and snow land that Kuzan managed to construct was dissolved into huge potholes, cracks and cracks opened, and the one-meter-thick ice surface instantly shattered into countless cracks!Many naval sergeants who were still searching for rescue fell into the water one after another, and the sudden outburst of anger by Akainu ruined the catastrophe!

"Hey! Sakalski!! Calm down!!!"

Kuzan was forced back a few steps by the hot wind, and the palms in front of him had obvious scald marks. He quickly activated his ability to stabilize the ice and snow continent that was about to collapse, and put those falling into the water. The Japanese officers used icicles to push him up, this action obviously distracted him, and made him stop the actions of his colleagues who were swallowed by anger and grief...

"A deserter who ran away!!! There is no value in existence---!!!"

As soon as Kuzan's movements stopped, the hot molten lava rolled and roared, and he accurately found out among the crowd the few 'deserters' who escaped from the Hestro and whispered in the corners .

In the next second, screams pierced the sky.

"You—" Kuzan had no time to stop him.

The hot magma seemed to be the man's endless anger... churning and roaring... engulfing the messengers who were CP0 spies wearing deserter skins.

Obviously they didn't know the true identity of the deserters, and Akainu, under the irrational rage, also missed the opportunity to leave those deserters for careful questioning.

In the background of lava meteors that looked like the end of the world, the silent back of the invincible tall man seemed to be carrying a heavy weight, and his back, which was always straight, was bent slumped at this moment...

The scene in front of him was too depressing, and Kuzan froze... Finally, he swallowed the severe criticism of his extreme behavior.

What qualifications does he have to accuse Sakalski of his actions...

What he lost was his whole family.

……

…………

The vast sea is still turbulent. Waves of people participating in the rescue came down from the warships arriving one after another from all directions. Everyone searched and rescued non-stop, searching for survivors in the surrounding sea area, and even invited the water-savvy murlocs to help rescue them. ...

one day...

two days...

Finally...five days passed...

All hope of rescue was on the fifth day, when the last murloc rescuer who floated up from the bottom of the sea shook his head heavily, and was shattered into powder...

This hijacking case that shocked the world can be ascertained—no one survived.

The five-day search and rescue operation came to an end. With the bodies of the only found and dilapidated escort sergeants and the crew members who died at the same time, the search and rescue team began to return gradually.

Until the end, they didn't find the body of the blond Celestial Dragon.

The people above were very upset about this incident. Since Warring States took office as marshal, it was the first time that he encountered a major event that almost shook his position.However, in the precarious naval headquarters, no one took the group of Tianlong people who took the opportunity to make things difficult and the top officials of the world government seriously. On the day the fleet carrying the remains of the sergeants returned, the entire headquarters personnel came out...

The concierge team lined up, the salute was fired, and the military band played mourning music. The entire headquarters of the Maritime Bureau greeted the martyrs who died heroically in the line of duty with the highest etiquette.Before the search and rescue ship returned to its voyage, Malinfordo had already announced the list of martyrs. The distraught family members held candles and bouquets of flowers, and their eyes touched the corpses that were constantly being carried down and covered with the navy flag. They cried heartbreakingly. It even overshadowed the music played by the military band, soaring into the sky...

Marshal Warring States seems to have aged several years overnight.He stood at the end of the red carpet lined up by the ceremonial team. Under the cover of reflective round glasses, people could not see his expression clearly.

But the corners of his mouth tightly pursed into a straight line and his slightly trembling fists finally revealed his emotions.

A monument was erected, a burial... All week, Malinfordo was in a lingering grief, and no one showed any joy.

-

Xiling is the military mausoleum of the Malinfordo Navy Headquarters. After three days of intensive arrangements, the corpses of less than [-] sergeants who could only be recovered were buried here... The queen of heaven, the nine springs rest, everything after death All will return to nothingness, and only those vivid memories can prove that they once existed so brilliantly.

On this day, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily...

-

A pure black, formal and solemn suit with a neatly buttoned neckline and a black velvet tie... The tall man was holding a bouquet of bright flowers, and walked up the steps against the dense rain. Ascend to the upper cemetery leading to the senior officers' quarters.

He walked very slowly, but his body shape was different from that of ordinary people, but it didn't take him long to reach his destination——

In front of a mother and child curtain.

The rainwater flowed into the man's tough neck along the brim of the hat, and the drizzle dripped continuously, splashing slight muddy water on the dirt in the cemetery.The man let the rain wet his face. He bent down and placed the rain-wet flowers in front of the tombstone.The brightly colored flowers were beaten to pieces in the rain, and now they are completely exposed to the rain, and they look even more dilapidated in the gloomy cemetery.

On the larger tombstone, the words 'Palace of Don Quixote Innissi, Wife of General Sakaski' are impressively engraved in large ink-colored characters.The sub-monument next to it doesn't even have a name, only the affiliation of "Qizi".

The unborn children were buried in the sea with their mothers without even having a name.

After all, the bright flowers couldn't resist the washing of the rain, and began to fall apart under the increasing rain.The petals fell from the flowers and were stuck to the gray tombstone by the rain, like a glimmer of light in the dark world, very dazzling.

red rose.

Passionate, romantic, full of sweetness...

The only flower in the world that can match her.

The tall officer in mourning stood silently in the rain, his dark eyes seemed to be filled with emptiness, suppressing too many emotions, but he couldn't see the shattered heart buried in it.

8 days passed...

Eight days have passed since that day.

His spirit has been taut...never let up.

He shouldered the responsibility and punishment for the ineffective rescue alone, arranged the burial of all the victims and comforted the family members alone, and alone...made two empty coffins and buried his wife and his wife, who had no bones left, in Xiling as family members. son.

There are only two tombs in front of you.

The wives and children who were buried in the sea couldn't even find their bodies... they could only be buried in the form of clothes tombs.

The emerald necklace that his wife cherished during his lifetime lay quietly under the loess, in the empty coffin, accompanied her, and was buried in the ground leading to another world.

The heavy rain was torrential, and the surroundings were silent. From time to time, the pain of other military members could be heard in the distance, but in the end they were still submerged in the pouring rain, and there was no trace to be found.

This is his funeral alone.

He buried his entire family yesterday, with his own hands.

"...I knew I could find you here."

A hoarse and deep voice came from behind.

Sakalski didn't look back, didn't even move.

A tall man with a purple crew cut, light grass green eyes, and a pair of square-frame glasses was wearing the same pure black suit as Sakalski, holding a bouquet of pure white daisies in his hand, walking slowly He stopped behind Sakaski who was standing frozen in the rain.

"...It's such a familiar scene." The tall instructor with purple hair finally let out a sigh as he looked at the students' stiff backs.

The rain is getting heavier.
