Chapter 40 What Kind Of Lowly Person Keeps A Diary?
"Master... suddenly there are a lot of delicious food in the village..."
A crisp voice sounded from the path in the distance, and Dylan turned his head with a smile.
A little girl with purple hair was stumbling towards the cabin with a pile of food in her arms.
"Oh, it's Ayu, I already know."
A large pile of food blocked Ayu's sight, and she didn't see other people at the door of the wooden house.
When she staggered to the door and put down the food, she immediately raised her hands when she saw the tall Dylan and Ace.
"Eat... the food is not stolen, surrender... the little girl surrendered!"
Pooh!
Dylan laughed, and took out the juice that Shellyman brewed for him from the ring and handed it to Ayu.
"Try it?"
"Eh!?"
"Oh... no way!!"
Dylan's face suddenly sank, and before Ayu could react, Dylan said very seriously: "It's very unhealthy to drink fruit juice before filling your stomach!"
Ace next to him showed a surprised look.
This guy······
When it was getting late, Dylan, Ace, Tiangushan Feiche and the village chief were sitting around the bonfire in front of the wooden house. Ayu was sleeping soundly on Dylan's lap, holding a piece of barbecue in his hand.
"Has the outside world changed to this point?"
The face of the village chief flickered under the reflection of the bonfire: "Wanokuni...has been closed to the country for hundreds of years."
While picking firewood, Dylan listened to their chat. Most of the situation outside was described by Ace, and he rarely participated in it.
Several big families of Wanokuni...
They are all deliberately closed to wait for those so-called bullshit legends.
Simply stupid.
And Oden the idiot.
Dylan shook his head, Oden is an idiot with great strength, but he really lacks the heart of a strong man and the means of a leader of a country.
Tiangushan Feiche looked at Dylan who was sitting across from him with a puzzled look on his face.
After a moment of silence, he finally said: "This general, seems to love Ayu very much?"
Hearing this, Dylan lowered his head and glanced at the young Ayu with a gentle look in his eyes.
"Well... I like this child very much. Her life shouldn't be so miserable."
Dylan gently stroked Ayu's little head, most children in this world didn't seem to have a very happy childhood.
But most children are able to face life bravely.
Nami, Nuo Qigao, Sabo, Hancock, Mingo, Ayu, Luo.
These people's childhood was very unfortunate, but they can change their destiny in their own way.
Only Momonosuke, an idiot, would only bury his head in a woman's chest other than whining and crying.
Mere trash is no longer enough to describe him.
"It is true. If you live in this kind of place all year round, not only will you not have enough to eat, but your body and life expectancy will also be greatly affected."
Tiangoushan Feiche stared at the sleeping Ayu, his expression was full of guilt and affection.
Ace turned to look at Dylan, his expression a little moved.
But thinking about where Wanokuni is and the customs here finally swallowed the words.
While it's true that Dylan has no ill intentions towards him, it doesn't seem appropriate to ask him to save Wanokuni.
and······
After all, this is the middle of the New World, and now it has almost escaped the control of the World government.
Thinking of this, Ace clenched his fists and thought to himself:
"'Hundred Beasts' Kaido..."
······
After staying in Kasa Village for two weeks, Dylan and Ace bid farewell to the villagers.
"Brother Ace, Brother Dylan..."
Ayu looked at the two gentle big brothers with tears in his eyes: "When can I go to sea?"
Ace squatted down and touched Ayu's head: "When I come back here again, I will definitely turn this country into a place where you can eat well."
Dylan pursed his lips and said nothing.
But the big tengu Feiche beside him was struggling. Just when the two were about to leave, the big tengu Feiche suddenly said:
"My lord general, can you take Ayu away?"
Not only Dylan, but Ace, Ayu, and the village chief all showed puzzled expressions.
After being shocked for a moment, Ace was relieved. After all, he was still a rookie pirate and had no fixed place to live.
And he really felt that in New World, it would be difficult for him to protect Ayu comprehensively with his strength, but this guy is different.
The whole sea is in awe of his reputation, even those legendary big pirates dare not easily set foot near the G5 branch.
If there... Ayu will live a happy life...
"of course can."
Dylan also squatted down and pressed Ayu's shoulder: "But first, Ayu must be willing."
Ayu, whose clothes were covered with patches, looked a little cautious. She yearned for the outside world, but couldn't let go of her aging master.
"Ayu..." Tengu Shan Feiche walked up to Ayu and untied his saber from behind—Second Generation Onitsu.
"The world has changed so much, you can take the place of all of us to see the outside world. One day in the future, I hope you can return to Wanokuni..."
"Tell us about your wonderful journey in the sea."
Dylan frowned: "This knife..."
Of course he knows the origin of this sword, but the "Ghost" series are monster swords, it is difficult to subdue them without strong luck and strength, and a bad one may even devour the master.
Tiangou Shan Feiche shook his head: "This knife is not for Ayu, but for the General."
"I?"
Dylan was about to resign, but Tiangushan Feiche stopped him.
"That's right, it was given to Mr. General. The twenty years predicted by my wife at that time was approaching. I would like to use this knife as a thank-you gift for Lian Li Village."
"You think Kozuki's prophecy refers to me?"
Ayu and Ace next to each other showed a confused look, they couldn't understand their conversation at all.
On the contrary, the village chief looked a little dignified.
"It may not be Your Excellency, General, even if it is not, then this knife. It is considered as the maintenance money I gave to Ayu as my master."
After pondering for a while, Dylan took over Second Generation Guiche. : "Okay! Now that's the case..."
"At the time of prophecy, I will definitely come. Regardless of whether I lead or not, for the sake of Ayu and everyone, I will also contribute to this country."
When Dylan led Ayu to walk out of the village, Ayu turned around every step of the way. Although he decided to follow Master's arrangement to go to sea, how could he give up the grace of upbringing so easily.
"Master...everyone..."
Dylan bent down and hugged Ayu, patting her back gently to comfort her.
Next to the hidden port, an unmarked ship has already docked there.
"'Dark Dragon' Vice Admiral." The two masked eccentrics felt Dylan's breath and jumped off the side of the ship.
Dylan ignored them, but took Ayu to jump on the boat and touched Ayu's head.
"Wait here for me, that idiot Ace is going to cause trouble, I'll take a look and come back."
"Ok!!"
Ayu hugged Dylan and handed her juice and nodded.
After getting Ayu's answer, Dylan turned around and said to CP0: "Protect her, don't talk too much. Otherwise, I will take your mouths off."
"..."
Dylan and Ace chose different paths when they left Kasa Village.
Seeing Ace's anxious look, Dylan knew that this guy was going to the ghost island.
But now Kaido and senior cadres are away, only Yamato can fight.
Yamato········
Tsk...
By the time Dylan reaches the edge of Ghost Island, the two fools are already drinking.
"I can't leave here, father... that bastard. As soon as I step out of Oni Island, this chain will explode!"
"Ace, one day in the future, can I also be free and go on an adventure in the sea?"
"Of course, Yamato! I will!! The sea is so vast and wonderful, you will definitely be able to get out of this place and find your own life."
Tread.
Tread.
"who is it!?"
Yamato immediately became alert when he heard footsteps.
When Dylan appeared around the corner with Shura on his shoulders, Ace was startled at first, and then his face showed joy.
"It's you!? Have you left yet?"
"Yeah!? Is it your acquaintance? Ace?"
Ace scratched his head: "No...not really...but..."
Ace stood up and ran to Dylan: "If you say it, you will be able to untie Yamato, right? Please!"
After speaking, Ace bent down and bowed deeply to Dylan.
"Bondage?"
Dylan walked past Ace on his own, and came to Yamato.
"Is this? A location bomb made by Quinn?"
Both of Yamato's wrists were trapped by huge alloy shackles, and there was a "Kuang Kuang" sound when he moved.
"Yes, this one!"
More than a year into "New World", Ace has heard too many legends about this man.
With his strength, he can definitely save Yamato.
"Well·······"
Dylan reached out and grabbed one of the shackles, getting a feel for the structure before the armor color permeated it.
Click!
The shackles deformed at the sound, and then broke and fell off.
"It's... really unlocked!? That's great Yamato!"
Dylan turned around and glanced at Ace: "You're too happy, boy, the other one, I'm not going to untie it for her."
"why!?"
Ace and Yamato spoke at the same time, both showing disappointment.
Freedom... has never been more within reach.
But also out of reach.
Seeing Yamato's disappointed expression, Dylan pondered for a while and said, "Of course this kind of thing depends on my mood, doesn't it? But if you have to ask for a reason..."
"Number one, this guy was influenced by that idiot Oden, and I don't like it."
"Second, it's also a kind of protection for her. You'll understand next time we meet, Ace."
Hearing Dylan's words, Yamato, who was originally lost, immediately stood up, and the remaining shackle made a sound with her violent movements: "Why insult Oden, a man like him..."
"Shut up!"
Dylan glared at Yamato:
"What kind of man is he!? As a son, he left his elderly father to go to sea for the so-called 'freedom', put his father in danger and died."
"After returning to China, the power of the enemy actually believed in that kind of boring promise and deception, and danced naked for a whole year, so that his prestige was completely lost."
"As a monarch, he was distracted from fighting because of the illusion that a useless son was held hostage, causing the entire Wanokuni to fall. Obviously, everyone else has made the determination to overthrow Kaido's rule with him, but what about him?"
"Do you still believe in the nonsense of 'let everyone go after holding on for an hour'?"
"As a son, as a father, as a husband, as a lord. He is a failure, a complete waste!"
Yamato trembled at Dylan's words.
"you·······"
"Do you still believe in 'freedom'? Do you still want to be Kozuki Oden? Such trash, you even choose to inherit his name and last wish? Just because of two diaries?"
Dylan's eyes were burning: "Why should I help you?"
What scumbag would keep a diary! ?
"Think about it, Yamato, in addition to the so-called 'freedom', people must also bear some 'responsibility'."
Dylan turned around and walked to the shore: "A waste like Oden, other than having a little power, is nothing but good!"
