General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 413 Funeral
"That's...Uncle Sakaski!"

Rorschach's pupils shrank.

He didn't expect that Akainu was here.

And looking at the carving knife that he never dropped, and the silent figure like a sculpture, Luo Xia felt as if a big stone was weighing on his heart.

Who did he come for?
Suppressing his uneasiness, Luo Xia turned to Skylark and said warmly: "Skylark, please help me go to Lilith's laboratory to see if she has made a concentrated nutritional paste. If so, bring some. Get the nutrition After the anointing, you can go home, and I will go to your house to find you later."

Hibari didn't see Akainu deep in the cemetery. Hearing Rorschach's words, he nodded obediently and turned around to leave.

Rorschach took a deep breath, walked along the road lined with tombstones, and entered the depths of the cemetery.

The cemetery of Marinefando covers a very large area.

Rorschach took a rough look and found that there were at least hundreds of thousands of tombstones still existing here.

There are also some large tombstones with densely packed names engraved on them.

Walking here, time seems to slow down, giving people the illusion of being forgotten by time.

When Rorschach approached, he saw a deep pit on the ground beside Akainu. The soil dug out from it was piled on the edge of the pit, and there was a shovel stuck next to it.

Akainu was sitting cross-legged, holding a carving knife in one hand and a piece of paper in the other, looking at the stone tablet in front of him, and fell into a long silence.

"Uncle Sakaski, is this...?"

Rorschach walked to stand behind Akainu and spoke softly.

Rorschach's voice seemed to break the silence in the field, and the carving knife raised in Akainu's hand fell to the surface of the stone tablet in front of him.

While stone chips were flying, he held the carving knife in his hand and wrote steadily.

At the same time, he handed the paper in his left hand to Rorschach.

He still didn't speak, he just wrote on the surface of the stone one stroke at a time.

He worked hard, and the writing he carved sank deep into the stone tablet.

The moment Luo Xia took the piece of paper, her heart trembled.

An unspeakable sadness surged into my heart.

'The suicide note of Charles Adira'

"I am Charles Adira. If I die, then this letter will be my suicide note. Hahaha, I hope it will never be used. I don't want people to cry on my grave. That would be terrible. It's noisy."

"How should I write a suicide note? After all, I haven't died yet and I have no experience in this area. It would be great if I could get the legendary underworld fruit. In that case, I can wait for others to be with me. After reading a suicide note on the grave, he crawled out of the grave and scared them half to death."

"Then, let me introduce myself first."

"I am Charles Adira. I was born in the year 1477 of the Maritime Calendar. I am 40 years old this year, ten years younger than my elder brother Sakaski. I am currently a Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters. Hehe, I have just been promoted and have not been assigned garrison duties yet. Being able to become a lieutenant general in the headquarters at the age of 40 is very satisfying for a person like me who is not very talented, and this is all thanks to the guidance of Brother Sakaski over the years."

"I have a wife, her name is Jennifer. She is a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. If I die, I hope she can find a good man to marry and not be a widow for me. There is no need. I know Jennifer saw this sentence I will definitely be scolded when I say this, but this is really what I mean. To be honest, it is really difficult to be the wife of a navy who may die in a fight with pirates at any time. . I live in fear every day, praying to my husband who is away from home that nothing will happen to him, and I can’t see him a few times throughout the year. Even when we do meet, it’s in a hurry, and there’s no time for intimacy.”

"That's when I joined the Navy and officially became a Navy private third class."

"I still remember the day I joined the navy very clearly. It was in my hometown, Tarika, the capital of King Lawrence of the North Sea. On that day, I had just gotten a good job from the bank in Tarika. I can get a monthly salary of [-] beli. In the Kingdom of Lawrence, [-] beli is enough to buy dozens of kilograms of meat, but for me and my mother who is sick in bed, it is already extremely rare."

"I was very happy that day. I bought two kilograms of smoked meat and went home, hoping to cook a sumptuous dinner for my mother. When I happily returned to my home outside the city with the meat, I saw it was destroyed. Half of the mountain."

"My house is gone, and so is my mother."

"As everyone thought, it was a group of emerging pirates who did it. Their captain was a man with a bounty of 8000 million beli. That bastard bombarded the hills outside the capital to show off to the Kingdom of Lawrence. Use force so that they can capture a group of civilians and sell them for money."

"In order to take revenge, I found that man. However, even if I tried my best, I could not pose the slightest threat to him. I was stepped on by him and held a knife to my throat. At that moment, my heart was filled with despair. .Then, Brother Sakaski showed up.”

"I will never forget the scene at that time. Brother Sakaski just glanced at the pirate. Hey, he was so lawless a second ago that he was so frightened that he peed his pants and knelt on the ground begging for mercy like a poor man. . I used the knife in the pirate's hand to slit his throat, and then joined the navy."

"Since then, my goal has been to become a powerful naval warrior like Brother Sakaski. I gave up this idea when I left the North Sea and came to the headquarters. Because I know that this goal will never be achieved. Brother Sakaski is too strong. His strength is beyond my reach in this life."

"Haha, but I never thought that one day, a tough man like Brother Sakaski would have a gentle, kind and lovely daughter. Oh, I'm so envious. Jennifer has always wanted a child, but I am 40 years old, but we have never been able to give birth to a child. Little Skylark is a kind child, and Jennifer likes her very much. And Rorschach, that kid, I really never thought that one day, I would see my elder brother A man like that would value a teenage child that much."

"It turns out that Big Brother's vision is indeed vicious, and the Rorschach boy is really up to his game. In just over two years, he became a monster-level naval star who is stronger than me. Damn it, it's so shocking."

"If I were to die, if someone were to ask me, what are your regrets?"

"I would say my regrets are not being able to have a child with Jennifer, not being able to see Big Sakaski realize his dream, not being able to see Rorschach grow up, not being able to see the future of the Navy, I couldn’t see the end of the great pirate era.”

"Finally, I wish brother Sakaski good luck in martial arts. Justice will prevail."

The signature is, Lieutenant General Charles Adira of the Department.

After reading this suicide note, Luo Xia felt extremely depressed.

He frowned, recalling the battle that day.

When he led Skylark into the pirate group, he remembered that nothing happened to Lieutenant General Adira.

Moreover, as the naval support force that came later, he had plenty of physical strength and was able to exert [-]% of his strength. Based on the situation at that time, there should not be any powerful pirates who could kill him.

You know, before Rorschach recommended Shiliu to Akainu as his adjutant, Akainu's adjutant was Adira.

His strength is not weaker than that of Flying Squirrel and others.

Seeing Akainu carving Adira's tombstone silently, Rorschach couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Sakaski, how did Lieutenant General Adira die?"

Akainu put down the carving knife, stood up, looked at Rorschach, and said expressionlessly: "In order to rescue his subordinates during the tsunami, he was hit by the island fragments falling from the sky and disappeared into the sea. What a helpless person. Salvage fool.”

"what?"

Rorschach's mind pounded.

Adira actually died because he wanted to rescue his subordinates.

In Rorschach's impression, although Adila was usually kind to him, he was an absolute supporter of the Akainu faction and a general of the Iron-blooded faction who believed in absolute justice.

Although it is somewhat inappropriate to say this.

But the iron-blooded hawk generals in the navy pursue strength first.They will not hesitate to praise and praise their talented and powerful subordinates.

For example, Ghost Spider, Dauberman and others were very considerate of themselves at the beginning, and they also admired Rob Lucci in CP9.

Most hawkish generals don't think highly of weak and cowardly subordinates.

They believe in the law of the jungle, despise death, and are not afraid of life and death, but their minds are also a little indifferent.

They would generally not do such reckless behavior as risking their lives by rushing into a tsunami to rescue their subordinates.

Rorschach did not expect that as Akainu's former lieutenant, Adira would do such a thing.

"That's why I said that he is a fool. For the sake of some subordinates who are weak enough to be ignored, he sacrificed the strength he gained through decades of hard work. He still failed to figure out the reason why those subordinates died. Pirates. If a hundred incompetent subordinates died, then go kill a thousand or 1 pirates to take revenge. You know you can’t do it but you do it, you know you can’t save it but you still save it, and in the end you even get involved. , isn’t this stupid?”

Akainu's voice was cold, like gold and iron clashing, squeezed out from between his teeth, as hard as cold iron.

Rorschach looked at his face that was hidden in the shadows and couldn't see the expression clearly. His lips moved, but still couldn't say anything.

The sky darkened quietly, and light rain began to fall in the sky.

An old man with purple hair holds a shovel in his hand and is digging the soil.

A hoarse and sad tune came from his mouth.

"The sea is watching, the beginning of this world."

"The sea also knows the end of this world."

"So the direction it induces is the way forward."

"So it leads to the right world."

"Pain and suffering are all tolerated by me."

"Broad, gentle, tolerant for me..."

The icy sea breeze blew from the sea, and sailors and generals gathered from all over the place, forming a white ocean.

The residents of Marinefando Island also walked out of their homes silently and came to the square in front of the cemetery.

A child held flowers and placed them in front of the cold white cloth.

People also silently hummed the song Zefa sang.

"The sea is watching, the beginning of this world."

"The sea also knows the end of this world."

"What if I disappear from this world."

“The all-knowing sea will also guide.”

"I won't be afraid because of you."

"Don't be timid, my friends are waiting too..."

This is the navy's farewell song, which means farewell but also comfort.

Rorschach and Akainu also walked over.

He saw Skylark coming from a distance, holding two sets of military uniforms in his arms.

As sad humming echoed over Marinevando, warships were returning to dock one after another at the Inner Bay Military Port not far away.

Sengoku, Garp, Lieutenant General He, Kuzan and others looked tired and stepped off the warship.

Behind them were navy soldiers holding boxes.

Inside the box are the ashes of the navy who died in the G1 naval battle.

And more soldiers, whose bodies could not even be found, were swallowed up by the monstrous tsunami.

After putting on his military uniform, Rorschach and Skylark silently merged into the sea of ​​​​people. Standing in the square in front of the cemetery, he looked at the corpses wrapped in white cloth, boxes one by one, and military uniforms one by one. Gently put it into the dug hole.

Sengoku, Garp, Zefa, Crane, Akainu, Kizaru, Aoki and others led the soldiers to pick up shovels and fill in the soil silently.

Warring States put down his shovel, walked to the front of the crowd with a solemn expression, and said slowly in an old and hoarse voice:

"Please allow me to tell you with the deepest heart that in this war, we lost a total of 280 brave naval soldiers."

"Among them, there are four lieutenant generals, 86 major generals, and eight brigadier generals..."

"They are the most heroic naval warriors, heroes who dare to sacrifice for justice, are not afraid of death, and protect our world!"

"Let us pay them our highest respect!"

"salute!"

"Crash!"

The crowd surged, and everyone raised their right hands above their heads.

Some people in the crowd sobbed uncontrollably.

Warring States' raised right hand suddenly clenched into a fist and said loudly:
"Their sacrifices are not meaningless!"

"This war, the enemy is so large and ferocious, it is the most powerful in decades."

"The four pirate groups headed by Golden Lion, Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, and Wang Zhi, with a total strength of more than 16 pirates, are trying to destroy the navy, completely control the new world, and bring fear and disaster to innocent people. Man. We were successfully stopped thanks to the fearless fight of our soldiers!"

"The entire 16 pirate coalition was defeated, and more than [-]% were annihilated on the spot! The first criminal, Golden Lion Shiji, Wang Zhi, was beheaded."

"This war is won by our righteous force!"

"Now let us reward those outstanding soldiers and generals who have made great contributions in this war!"
