One Piece: Starting to read the file from the dragon-footed man

Chapter 12 Chapter 12

*
After killing the man, Li Guanqi slapped his ass with the gold coins and left, leaving the people in the casino silently looking at the man's body on the ground, and leaving the audience in front of the screen looking at Li Guanqi's back. what brains.

Most people don't understand why Li Guanqi's revenge is so silent, just like they don't understand why Li Guanqi always wins when he sits at the gambling table.

They simply felt that they had watched an interesting farce, and the abrupt behavior of the protagonist in this farce made them feel dumb, so they could only look at each other, not knowing how to evaluate.

However, it was not because of the man's death.

The famous Russian short story writer "Chekhov" once said - [If there is a gun in the first act of the movie, then in the third act, the gun will definitely go off. 】

Although we all know that in the world of pirates, perhaps no one has published this theory, but this does not prevent people in this world from realizing that when a man is in the second week, through the content of the unconcealed narrative on the screen. There is no doubt that he will die.

Especially after experiencing the events of the week, the death of the man has basically become a certainty in the eyes of everyone.

It's like a time bomb that is bound to explode. People know that it will definitely explode, but they don't know when it will explode, and what it will look like when it explodes.

In fact, they were just surprised.

I was surprised by Li Guanqi's attitude when he shot, and also by the timing of Li Guanqi's shot.

Because in most people's expectations, Li Guanqi's revenge should be as passionate as fire, publicized, with the unique recklessness and indignation of young people, shouting angry slogans impassioned.

And the man who is the target of revenge should weep bitterly in the young man's anger.

There is no doubt that he deserves to die, but before he dies, he should repent of what he has done, deeply reflect on his sins, and finally die with remorse and unwillingness!

At least it shouldn't be like this.

His eyes widened, his face was dazed, and even until he died, he didn't really understand why he died.

And such an ending, whether it is for the man or for the audience, is too abrupt and too dull.

Most people really can't understand the meaning of such revenge, but whenever they want to question, they have an unspeakable emotion, which makes them silent, and at the same time, they can't help but take a step back.

"It's so weird...I mean, it doesn't look like revenge at all."

In a small tavern at a certain port, a sailor who was about to have a drink to relax after a tiring day took a deep breath. He stared at the back of Li Guanqi on the screen and said, "If I didn't know that Li Guanqi had died in the If it was in the hands of this man, I would really think that she went to that casino just to kill that man..."

"Uh... what you said is strange."

The one who spoke was his companion who came to the tavern with him to have a drink and relax, "She went to that casino, Ben's purpose was to kill that man, wasn't it?"

"Ah no... Although what you said is correct, I am not referring to this..." The sailor suddenly said with a complicated mood: "I just think that as an Avenger, what that guy did seems a bit abnormal... ..."

"Not normal? What's not normal?" The sailor's companion picked up the barley wine on the table and drank it. "If I say that it's a pleasure to do it like this! Ha ha ha ha, it's a pleasure, boy! It's really a little No nonsense! If you ask me, he looks like a pirate!"

"Oh no, I've said it all, I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about that kid, don't you think he's against the law?" The sailor was very dissatisfied with his companion's point of view, so he raised his voice slightly and retorted: "He It really doesn't feel like a revengeful person, not to mention the pleasure and excitement of getting revenge, he doesn't even care about that man's death at all!"

"Uh...it seems a little strange to say so."

The sailor's companion was already a little tipsy at this time, so he ordered another glass of barley beer, but he didn't pour it into his stomach immediately, but continued to discuss the content on the screen with his companion.

"If you ask me, the boy's eyes on gold coins seem to be much more eager than those on his enemies!"

"Oh, yes, that's it! I didn't realize until you said that, it seems to be true!"

The speaker was a drinker sitting on the sidelines. He had been listening in since the sailors were discussing what was on the screen just now, and now he finally couldn't help but join their conversation.

"Rather than a savior, he looks like a pirate!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately refuted by other fans.

"Pirate? Are you an idiot?"

"How does he look like a pirate? Let me say, that kid's shooting is an understatement. He didn't even say harsh words to that man. From this point of view, he doesn't look like a pirate at all." A pirate."

"Yeah, the revenge of the pirates is much more arrogant than that kid!"

"And even more brutal!"

"The grumpy pirate even dragged that man's body through the streets!"

"Yes, yes!" Some drinkers echoed, "The pirates are much more ostentatious than the kid on the screen! If they do something bad, they really want everyone to know about their evil deeds. "

"But one thing to say, I think that kid is much scarier than those pirates... His shot was so sudden that I didn't even react just now..."

The speaker recalled the content on the screen, remembered Li Guanqi's eyes when he shot and killed, and couldn't help but shuddered, "Oh my God, and the attitude of that kid when he killed... it's really... creepy."

"Isn't what you said a bit too exaggerated? It's not as scary as what you said." Some people disagreed, "Isn't it just killing someone? Let me tell you, that man can be scared if he is pointed at by a child with a gun." With that appearance, it shouldn't be such a powerful character."

"Hahaha, fart!"

A drunkard laughed and retorted, "Have you not read today's newspaper, boy? It’s a bit small, but where is the size of the family, and where can the water go?”

"Although what you said is also reasonable, but if I say that I was killed by a kid with a gun, he is too stupid..."

"Hahaha, isn't that what you said..."

"But let me tell you..."

In a word, people were discussing with each other, talking about the content shown on the screen as the most popular topic of conversation nowadays, and discussing it in their spare time after dinner, and regarding it as a fresh entertainment.

But apart from entertaining, there was something hidden in their hearts, something unexplainable, an emotion called 'excitement', which made them feel a little apprehensive and uneasy when they were whispering in private.
