Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Child Is Still Young, Forget It Kills!
As Longinus's voice fell, the dusty memories began to revive, and all the freed slaves stared unkindly at the bear child who had caused them to be unable to escape.
Thousands of people pointed out, no illness ended!
Not to mention an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, even a soldier who has experienced battlefield killings, he will be at a loss when he is stared at by so many angry eyes.
"You...... What do you want to do? ”
Being stared at by so many angry eyes, the little boy was no longer as tough as before, he dared to face everyone alone because he knew that those pirates would support him, but now, that navy ...... It doesn't seem to be as easy to talk as those pirates!
"You're embarrassed to ask what we want to do? If it hadn't been for the big brother of the navy just now, Robin would have broken her leg by that group of pirates, obviously she ran back to save us! ”
"It's just a broken leg, and it won't die, besides, isn't it okay?" The bear child muttered reluctantly.
"You ......"
Seeing many people approaching him with fierce faces, the little boy panicked instantly, and said in a low voice, "Big deal, big deal...... I'll just apologize. ”
"Humph! Apologize? Can this kind of thing be solved with a simple apology? Just because of your selfishness, you almost hurt all of us and couldn't escape! ”
"Don't go too far! I've said I'm going to apologize, what else are you going to do? Who knows, the little boy broke out in dissatisfaction, and for a while he actually had the upper hand in the momentum.
The person who questioned before was "speechless" when asked, and looked at Longinus as if asking for help, and the bear child seemed to have found confidence, "What about the navy, I have already apologized, does he dare to kill me?" ”
Longinus rubbed his smooth chin and said something that made the bear child tremble, "Death penalty?" It's not impossible. ”
"You, what qualifications do you have to kill?" The bear child tried to stabilize his mind, but he didn't have much confidence to see the scene of flesh and blood flying around him.
The surrounding crowd also began to whisper, although they also hated this bear child who didn't take other people's lives seriously, but when it came to killing them, they were faintly afraid, after all, they were slaves who were imprisoned like them, not those cruel and tyrannical pirates.
Therefore, seeing that the bear child looked frightened, some people who were more familiar with the Virgin stood up to speak for him.
"Lord Navy, the child is still young and ignorant......"
Longinus nodded sympathetically, "The child is still young, forget about killing him!" ”
Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of the navy that guarded justice.
"No kidding." Longinus said with a serious face, "The reason why I said that is because he is the remnant of the Black Pirates!" ”
"Wait, remnants? What do you mean? The abruptly awakened crowd quickly retreated, hiding behind Longinus like a snake and scorpion.
"He is a spy that the pirates have deliberately planted among you, just to sabotage your escape, and to keep those pirates informed."
Longinus said indifferently, "If you let him go, your information will also leak out, and maybe the remnants of the Black Pirates will find you again." ”
"It's vile, it's shameless!"
"No wonder he did that, it turns out that he is one of the pirates himself?"
"Those who were hanged before after failing to escape must have been leaked by him."
"Kill him, you must kill him!"
It's a bit ironic to say, the people who defended the little boy before, when they knew that the matter would involve their own safety, were more determined than anyone else about the little boy's killing intent.
The bear child's face was shocked, and he kept arguing: "I'm not, I don't, I'm really not one of those pirates, I'm just jealous that the didn't share her power with me, you must believe me!"
However, a "pirate" with a bad history and a navy that guards justice, everyone doesn't need to think much and know who to believe, they all look at the little boy with disgust and disdain, and no one stands up to defend him.
"Eliminate evil, I think everyone will understand." Longinus easily changed the magazine and aimed the black muzzle at the bear child.
"Except ...... Eliminate the evil ......" Robin's face turned pale, as if he remembered something, and looked at Longinus's figure like a demon.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was really wrong, don't kill me!" The little boy collapsed to the ground and kept retreating.
Bang!
"Okay, the evil 'pirates' have been eliminated, everyone can leave with confidence, I will ask the navy to register everyone, and in a few days there will be a warship to send you home."
"Brother Longinus, Sister Tina, thank you!"
The rescued crowd walked out with a thousand thanks, and they couldn't wait to enjoy the long-lost sunshine.
"Whew! Is this what it's like to be a hero? It's fascinating! Tina said with a happy face, "Tina is so happy, the evil pirates have been solved, and the good people can return home, it is really a fairy tale perfect ending!" ”
"No, the truth is, most of them may never be able to return to their homes again!" Longinus said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Tina exclaimed, not skeptical of Longinus' words, but asked in disbelief, "Why is that?" Haven't the pirates all been dealt with? ”
"Because, most of them probably don't even know the name of the island they're on." Longinus knew very well that in this era of extremely backward transportation, and even the creation of water trains, those ordinary people who were forced to leave their homes may not be able to return for the rest of their lives.
"That'...... So what will be their final end? ”
"A small number of people can be saved, while the vast majority end up stranded on the island, where they lose hope and end up starting a new family here...... Bury the scars deep in your heart. ”
"Huh? Why is this happening? ”
"Because...... Peeling back the gentle exterior of this world, it is all the essence of bloody reality. ”
Longinus walked slowly to the lone Robin, "Little one, can you still remember your home?" ”
"No, don't come here!" Robin held a small dagger from nowhere in both hands and aimed it at Longinus, screaming hysterically.
Tina also recovered from her sadness, and when she saw this scene, she opened her arms like a little hen to protect Longinus behind her, forgetting that Robin was the weakest one, and angrily scolded:
"Damn thief, what do you want to do to Big Brother Longinus? If it weren't for Brother Longinus to save you, you would have been torn apart by that group of angry pirates, and now you want to take revenge? ”
"No, I don't know, I don't know anything." Robin muttered to himself, "But don't come near me, stay away from me!" ”
Tina noticed that something seemed wrong with the little girl opposite, as if she was in great fear, but the pirates had been eliminated, and there were only two people left here, she and Brother Longinus, could it be that she was afraid of Brother Longinus?
Thinking of this, Tina is a little funny, can someone as good as Brother Longinus be scary?
"Is it because you stole my money before, and you're afraid of being caught by Big Brother Longinus?" Tina generously forgiven, "Forget it, it doesn't cost much anyway, so I'll give it to you." ”
The fear in Robin's eyes dissipated slightly, and he finally broke free from the nightmare, but the dagger he held still did not let go, "Thank you, I know you are all good people, but...... I can't trust anyone anymore! ”
Robin used his fruit powers to throw a small purse in front of Tina, and then fled in a panic.
"Ahh It's my wallet! Tina picked up her purse and looked at Robin with concern and confusion, "Why did she run away alone?" Do you want to chase her back? ”
Longinus shook her head slightly, "No need, unless I take off the coat of justice behind me, she will never stop escaping." ”
Tina said with understanding: "So, what she is afraid of is not you, Brother Longinus, but the naval uniform on your body?"
"However, the navy represents justice, so why should she be afraid?"
"Who knows? Justice is such a thing, and it is justice when it is needed! Longinus turned and walked out for the outside world.
Like, he knew very well that the little boy had nothing to do with pirates, but what did it matter?
Justice is the tool of those in power to decorate themselves, justice is justice when it is needed, and the rest of the time is just two pale fonts.
