Chapter 684: Abandoning Wife and Son, Redheads(1/2)
"The autumn water in the Kamogawa River has dried up~The sound of the beach is wailing and the bells are swallowing~The dry willows can't stand the autumn wind~We are crying tonight and the night is wet~"
On the railing of a huge ship that looks like a white whale, Izo, wearing a yukata, sings in a low voice with a long tone. Perhaps not many people like this form of singing.
After all, what is popular now is the rock music of the soul king Brooke, or the new world singer Uta. The songs of the old and the young are the mainstream now.
But on the boat, several people kept crying along with Yi Zang's gentle tone.
Not far away, Marco, a pineapple-headed man with his hands on his hips, looked at this scene with extremely complicated eyes. He looked at Izo and several visitors, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.
The stories told by those guests from Wano who claimed to have traveled over twenty years and came here were indeed very touching, and Izo also confirmed the authenticity of what they said.
But Marco just couldn't move himself, because in the past two years, he had really seen too many life and death partings. His father, brothers, and these close relatives died in front of him one by one.
At the same time, after the incident two years ago, many brothers chose to leave their homes, whether they chose to be independent or leave their homes to seek revenge from the navy. In short, the brothers who left have also lost news one by one.
Marco saw all of this, and he remembered what his father had complained to him more than once, that there was no "Katakuri" among his children.
At that time, Marco could still use his father to protect them as his psychological excuse. Even Whitebeard said more than once that he would die, and he should die before these children.
He expressed more than once that he was worried about the situation of his sons after his death, but at that time Marco just didn't listen and devoted himself to building the Whitebeard Pirates into a happy and beautiful family.
But the fact is that they are not qualified to have the happiness and beauty that other families should have, because before the final battle, Dad has made it very clear that they are pirates and everything they experience is called adventure.
No matter what the reason is, whether it is active or forced, from the day they decide to join the sea as thieves, they are destined to lose the qualification for happiness.
It's just that people always like to deceive themselves, whether it's a fluke or they don't dare to face it. When he had the opportunity, Marco never thought about how to support the Whitebeard Pirates after his father died.
The result is that the Whitebeard Pirates are out of ten, and even their father's funeral needs a junior to arrange it. Even if it weren't for the "sympathy" of the navy who has been against their father for decades, they would not even be able to do it now.
There is no living land.
The reason for such an embarrassing situation is that none of the "Katakuri" among the children stood up. The consequence of this is that they can only watch their family members disappear one by one.
"Alas~"
Marco let out a long sigh and walked towards Yizang, who was choked several times and could no longer sing. Marco did not avoid the guests, but looked at Yizang and asked straightforwardly:
"Izo, do you really want to return to Wano? I don't want to hold any more funerals."
After hearing Marco's words, Izo wiped his tears, raised his head, and looked not far away at the large tombstone on the cliff next to the island, as well as the naginata standing next to the tombstone. A complicated expression appeared on his face, and he said:
"Marco, every month from now on, I will send a letter back. If I haven't sent a letter, maybe I'm greedy and looking for my dad."
"We can hardly afford to pay for the newspaper anymore. Maybe if you send a letter, we will miss it too?"
"Then, please visit Bista every week for me. I don't want to see him disgraced."
Yi Zang continued to look in the direction of the huge tombstone, and behind the huge tombstone, there were smaller tombstones. Every name that came to the door was once a family member.
It’s just that we can’t see each other again, at least not in this world. If there really is an underworld, then maybe there is still a chance to meet, right?
Marco looked at Yi Zang, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid I'm not that diligent. Let me go with you this time. I haven't had any patients recently."
"Do you want to challenge Kaido? My soul returns to my hometown, while yours is a guest and dies in a foreign land."
Yi Zang said teasingly, Marco raised his arms and hugged Yi Zang and said: "We are brothers, fight for a place for me."
"Hahaha~"
Yi Zang smiled, but the tears in his eyes did not disappear. If just a few of them went to find Kaido, they would definitely be seeking death, but Marco knew this clearly, but he still wanted to accompany him.
For a moment, Izou didn't know what to say. Should he call Marco stupid? If Marco is stupid, then there won't be any smart people in the Whitebeard Pirates.
After laughing, Yi Zang rubbed his eyes with the heels of his palms and said, "Fortunately you gave me a private space to receive guests. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to answer when dad asked why everyone went to him."
At this time, there were no other members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the ship. Marco had driven them to the island before, on the grounds that they were reunited with old friends and there was no need for them to be an eyesore.
Marco laughed with Yi Zang, and then said: "Actually, it is not impossible to pull down Kaido."
Hearing Marco's words, Izang's heart skipped a beat, and several people on the deck suddenly raised their heads and looked at Marco. Izang's reason told him that this was almost impossible.
But Yizang was very much looking forward to it, looking forward to really being able to avenge his former lord, friend, and compatriot, so he looked at Marco with warm eyes, expecting him to tell him a solution.
Under the gaze of Izo and several other visitors from Wano, Marco rubbed his pineapple head and said with a smile: "Why can we survive to this day?"
After hearing Marco's question, Yi Zang opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally told the "truth": "Alms from the Navy."
Izo's straightforward answer stung Marco's heart a little. The smile on his face shrank unconsciously, but he nodded.
Although this answer sounds very sad, it is indeed true. Without the charity of the Navy, Skyler would not have deliberately avoided the waters that belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates more than a year ago when he led the Navy.
And even if the Navy brought the waters of the original Whitebeard Pirates into its jurisdiction, it had almost never approached this sea area, because this was the last dignity left to them by the Navy.
But this does not mean that the Navy will completely forget about the Whitebeard Pirates, or pardon the remaining survivors of the Whitebeard Pirates.
As long as the members of the Whitebeard Pirates leave this sea area, the Navy should still catch and kill the members of the Whitebeard Pirates. But as long as the members of the Whitebeard Pirates do not leave, the Navy will pretend that they have not seen them.
Because of this, Marco thought of a way to pull in a support team out of thin air to help defeat the Beast Pirates when the Whitebeard Pirates had no influence and no reinforcements.
Marco, the reinforcement, said: "Do you think our ships can allow us to rush from a certain naval base to Wano Country or Onigashima before we are killed by the navy?"
"Who knows? Try it?"
At this time, Yizang also understood Marco's thoughts. Regarding Marco's bold idea, Yizang did not resist. He took out a flintlock gun with his left hand and grabbed a Bista's saber with his right hand.
Or rather his current saber.
Izo looked at the confused people on the deck and said, "Hey! Kanjuro, Raizo, Inuarashi, and Neko Viper, do you want to go to the navy with me to make a scene?"
Kanjuro and Raizo, who didn't know what the navy was specifically, nodded. They traveled across twenty years and came to this era just to restore their country. They had nothing to fear from being enemies with anyone.
But Inuarashi and Neko Viper fell silent. Neko Viper held his pipe in his mouth and kept sucking on it. From the expression on his face, it was obvious that he did not support it.
Although he has not had many contacts with the navy, he has had contact with them, and the navy he has come into contact with directly or indirectly are all their fur tribe, or friends of the fur tribe.
For example, when he was sent out to search for the historical text, Pedro, who had been in the navy for fifteen years, and Bebo, a child who spent more than half of his time in the navy, were confused.
The other navies had indirect contact through these tribesmen, such as Lieutenant General Skyler, who Pedro said saved them and helped them grow and realize the value of life.
As well as Ace, Luo, these young human beings who grew up with Bebo, from Pedro, Bebo and others, the navy is a good person and very strong, so strong that even Whitebeard and Big Mom have been killed.
.
At a time when it is necessary to preserve combat power and prepare to deal with the Beast Pirates, is it really a wise idea to offend the navy? Maybe there is no need to think about it, this is a very unreliable approach.
It may seem like it is driving a tiger to devour a wolf, but if you are not careful, you will become a sheep in the tiger's mouth, or be attacked from both sides. It would be great if you can really seduce the navy to deal with the Beasts Pirates.
What if they were arrested as soon as they arrived at the navy's waters? It was very sad and ridiculous that Cat Viper did not want to be part of this situation.
Seeing that Neko Viper and Inuarashi were hesitant, Lei Zang asked eagerly: "Do you have a better way?"
When asked by Raizo, Neko Viper and Inuarashi didn't know how to answer. After Inuarashi thought for a while, he said: "Maybe I can figure it out slowly."
"What Mrs. Shi is talking about is the present moment twenty years from now. How long do we have to wait?"
Lei Zang asked dissatisfiedly. Cat Viper took a sip from his pipe and said, "Have you experienced twenty years? Or do you think we don't know the pain of waiting?"
After Cat Viper finished speaking, Lei Zang had no way to refute. Compared with others, they had no reason to wait twenty years because they had never waited at all.
But unlike other people, waiting will wear away a person's will and make them less enthusiastic. But Lei Zang had just returned from twenty years ago, and his will and enthusiasm had not faded at all.
That's why he appeared to be more eager than others, but this was not the reason why he was responsible for others, so Lei Zang could only keep his mouth shut with resentment.
Marco also noticed the discord among several people and said: "Anyway, what the Navy values is my life and Izo's life, so it's up to the two of us to draw the Navy's wrath.
And if only the two of us move, it will be more flexible. After all, it is very strenuous to fly with five people."
Hearing this, Izo also nodded. To the navy, Raizo, Kanjuro, Inuarashi, and Neko Viper were all strangers.
Even if they attack the naval base, the navy will conduct intelligence investigations before pursuing them, which may delay a lot of time. Even in this special period, they are too lazy to pursue them.
But he is different from Marco. There are many people in the navy who want to kill them, and their desire to kill them is also very enthusiastic. It only takes a little provocation for the navy to dispatch.
After Lei Zang heard this, he showed a trace of shame, because the founding of the country was not necessary for Marco and Izang.
Marco is a complete outsider, purely helping, and Izo has also left the country of Wano for decades. Oden chose to return to the country of Wano, while Izo chose to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates.
He said he had already left.
Now, these two people, who have been waiting for twenty years for the founding plan of Wano Country, are allowed to offend the navy, which sounds very powerful. This is really a shame for them as retainers.
"I'll go with you."
Raizo still couldn't accept Marco and Izo's help with peace of mind. He was the one entrusted with the important task. Even if he had to take risks, he could never lag behind others.
Kanjuro said a little weakly at this time: "I will accompany you. At least I can help you when you escape."
Hearing that both of them said they were going, Izo smiled, but Neko Viper and Inuarashi became more solemn, because the more people going, the more people may be in danger.
They are not afraid of injury, or even death, but the most important thing now is the founding of Wano, and if they want to complete the founding plan, every personal injury may become the direct cause of failure.
However, everyone chose to go, and even outsiders like Marco were willing to risk their lives to help them. As people directly connected, they remained indifferent, which was really disloyal.
The two kings of the fur tribe, who had been at odds with each other for twenty years in Zuowu, looked at each other, and then Cat Viper said: "Since they have both chosen to go, let's add the two of us. We are not people who just sit back and enjoy the gains! Of course Inuarashi may be
."
"You are the one!"
When Inarashi heard that Neko Viper dared to be angry at him at this time, a vicious dog pounced on the food, directly pressed on Neko Viper, opened its mouth and started biting.
Cat Viper is not a vegetarian either. He turned over and his plump body sat directly on Inuarashi. His sharp claws popped out and scratched Inuarashi.
Seeing the actions of these two people, Izo smiled even more happily. He could feel the dissatisfaction and disappointment in the hearts of Neko Viper and Inuarashi after waiting for a long time.
