General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 274 I killed 1 people
"Whoa!"

Buckets of seawater were lifted from the sea and poured onto the ground of the port for washing.

The extremely strong smell of blood and stench mixed together, turning the originally bustling port of Queen City into a disgusting slaughterhouse throughout the spring.

The fishy smell in the air lingered for a long time, and it was so strong that it seemed to turn into a solid substance, filling everyone's nose and lungs.

Rorschach stood on a piece of dark brown ground, looking at the blood that had solidified into a paste under his feet, feeling speechless.

At this moment, all the broken limbs and broken arms on the port ground have been swept into the sea.

However, the blood stains and granular flesh on the ground require a large amount of sea water to be washed away, and artificial washing to completely clean them.

No one will forget the tragic fight that took place here a few ten minutes ago.

More than three thousand pirates died in this small port, ruthlessly crushed and killed by the guards led by the navy.

Similarly, hundreds of people from the guards were buried here.

Although as soon as the pirate fleet arrived, Rorschach rushed out and dealt a devastating blow to the 2-strong pirate fleet.

But the remaining pirates still brought pain to the city that was difficult to heal.

Even the most perfect war victory cannot avoid the loss of a small number of people's lives.

Most of those who were killed by pirates' swords and guns were royal guards and a few bounty hunters.

Although the guards in the royal city wore armor, they were basically ordinary people. At most, they were slightly stronger and could not stop the pirates who, in Rorschach's opinion, were pitifully weak.

Fortunately, no one died among the navy soldiers under his command.

As soon as this idea appeared in Luo Xia's mind, a look of shame appeared on his face.

He felt that he was too selfish, how could he have such selfish thoughts.

"What are you thinking about? Aren't you tired? Do you want to go back and take a nap first?"

An old voice came from behind.

Rorschach turned around and saw a bottle of wine thrown over by Jonathan who was walking over.

He stretched out his hand to catch it, and then saw his raised feet.

On the upper of the black military boots, there was a large piece of sticky plasma stuck to the ground.

As the soles of his feet were lifted, the blood-red silk threads were pulled up, making it a bit laborious to lift his legs, as if they were stuck with glue.

In the drawn blood threads, there seemed to be souls roaring silently, howling and wailing.

Rorschach shook his head, uncorked the bottle, raised his head and drank the one-liter bottle of strong liquor in one gulp.

Then he grabbed the wine bottle with his big hand, squeezed it hard, crushed the glass bottle into a ball of glass slag, and threw it heavily into the distant sea.

"This is the most lethal attack I've had since I joined the Navy."

The navy boy suddenly let out a long breath and looked at the water that had been a long time ago and still showed a light red color.

"I don't even know how many people I killed. Five thousand? Six thousand? Or ten thousand?"

Rorschach looked at the sea in the distance.

There, on the vast sea, were the wreckage of ships of various sizes floating.

Navy soldiers and bounty hunters boarded the intact ships at the port and sailed into the sea to search for and capture pirates soaked in the sea.

Dusk fell, and the setting sun on the horizon was like blood, floating at the end of the sea.

When Jonathan heard this, he sighed in his heart.

The boy in front of him is young, but he is already strong enough to be among the best in the world.

But I still experienced too little.

"Don't have any psychological burden. They are pirates, and the ones you kill are all hopeless criminals."

"But..., they are also human beings, thousands of them, living human beings."

Rorschach's eyes were a little complicated.

He knew that those he killed were all pirates and criminals.

But I still can't help but wonder, were there among those dead pirates who accidentally went astray?
Are there any innocent people who were kidnapped by pirates and unable to leave the pirate ship?
Are there some people whose sins are not worthy of death, and who can change their minds and turn over a new leaf after being imprisoned for a few years?

Whose husband, father, and son are those pirates?
If so, wouldn't it be equivalent to destroying thousands of families if he continues to act like this?

This is killing people, not killing chickens.This is not the same as the killings in the North Sea.

The pirates he killed were clearly marked by Branch 177 for the crimes they had committed.

But now, there was no time for him to find information about the pirates.

"The fact that you can think like this means that your heart is still warm and kind, and you have not been completely indifferent by this dirty world. This is a good thing."

Jonathan stepped forward, patted Rorschach's arm, and motioned him to look in the direction of the royal city.

There, the residents who had taken refuge in the inner city had already walked out one after another and were walking around the ruins of the houses, seemingly looking for relics in their homes.

There were hundreds of corpses lined up like a long queue on the harbor, and residents were wandering in front of the corpses.

Faintly, Rorschach heard mournful cries coming from there.

"See those ordinary people?"

"If you had been soft-hearted and hesitated during the previous fight, there might be ten, a hundred, or a thousand times more people lying on the ground now."

"Boy, I don't have any big principles to enlighten you. I just want you to remember the simplest principle, that is..."

"They are here to kill us, so be prepared to be killed!"

Jonathan nodded to Rorschach and patted his arm again.

"To this city, to the Holy Poplar Kingdom, you are the hero who saved them. You saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people."

"Don't think so much. When you are tired, go back and rest early. Leave this to me."

"Well, I am indeed tired."

Rorschach sighed and walked towards the location of the Hunter Guild.

From the corner of his eye, a petite figure hurried towards him.

Then, his hand was grabbed by a soft little hand.

Luo Xia was stunned when he saw the slightly red-faced Skylark grabbing one of his hands and walking forward side by side with him.

The two didn't speak, just walked in silence.

Rorschach noticed that the white military uniform on Skylark was also stained with a lot of blood that had turned into dark red.

Especially on the right arm, the entire sleeve was stained dark red with blood.

As if noticing Rorschach's gaze, Skylark's body trembled slightly.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Brother Luo Xia, I... also killed many people today."

"Skylark..." Luo Xia's eyes were complicated, and he tightened the little hand holding his palm.

The girl stopped moving forward, raised her head, and looked at Rorschach with her eyes a little red.

"You know? When I was a child, I actually hated being with my father. Because my father...his reputation among the outside world was really bad. Even Malinfando and many navy soldiers looked at him, There is only fear.”

"My yard is so close to the canteen and the Fortress of Justice, but few people come to visit. Except for a few people such as Daos, Uncle Deno, and Uncle Polusalino, the rest of the people don't even dare to go near it."

"In several places I have been, people say that Admiral Akainu is a mad dog of the Navy, an inhuman executioner, and the most brutal man in the world. The number of people buried by his lava is enough to destroy an island. Fill it up..."

"I used to have very low self-esteem, very few friends, and I resisted staying with my father. And he really rarely had time to go back to Marineland. For a long time, I was the only one living in my yard. Because Therefore, I even hate him a little, and I don’t understand why his methods are so cruel. Can’t he be gentler like Uncle Porusalino, Uncle Kuzan, or Grandpa Garp?”

Skylark wiped the sparkling eyes, pulled Rorschach forward, and stopped in front of the long queue of corpses on the harbor.

At this point, the painful cries of the dead guards and hunter's family members were already very clear.

The two of them saw many gray-haired old men lying on the corpses crying, and their hearts became heavy.

Skylark held Rorschach's hand tightly, looking at the tragic scenes of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away, his tone slowly became firmer.

"But after witnessing your tragedy, Brother Rorschach, and after today's battle, I understand that some things must be done by someone unswervingly. Some tragedies can be avoided. Some people are alive, It’s just unfair to some innocent dead people.”

"Brother Rorschach, I don't want you to become like my father. It's just that I think we may be like our father in the future, killing many people, many, many..."

Rorschach put his hand on the girl's head and stroked it gently a few times.

His eyes passed over the ruins and corpses in front of him, looking towards the sea and sky that were gradually darkening.

"Yeah, a lot, a lot."
