I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

The flames of O'Hara burning and exploding everywhere reflected on Kuzan's sunglasses, he paused: "The so-called justice depends on the situation! So I do not intend to blame your justice."

"But if you sabotage our actions, then I can't just sit back and watch." Kuzan looked at the old friend with a blank expression and said solemnly.

"Sauro!!" Robin's voice came from the air.

"?!"

"...Did you bring them here?" Kuzan didn't look up.

Sakazuki carried one on each hand, and landed beside Sauro. Robin, who was being carried, watched Sakazuki with tearful eyes: "Don’t you do something to Sauro, okay?" Sakazuki)," maintaining the position of the eagle catching the chick, looked at Sauro, who was a little nervous. , Indifferent to Robin's request: "It depends on his own next behavior."

Sauro turned a deaf ear to the words of Sakazuki, he looked down at Robin, and said with concern: "They didn't do anything to you? Are there any injuries??" The little girl carried in the air shook her head and wiped it off. A tear: "I'm okay, Sauro, don't fight this magma man!! You will die!!" From Sauro's mouth, I learned that his abilities are given by the devil fruit, and he is not a monster. . However, Sauluo didn't tell her the classification of devil fruits, she could only guess secretly that the navy that could be turned into magma was probably also some kind of fruit ability. In the eyes of Little Robin, one can be transformed into magma and the other is just a mortal body. It is self-evident who has the greater advantage.

Sakazuki put Olvia next to Kuzan, threw Robin into her arms, and took a step forward. He looked at Sauro with a bit of disgust, with contempt in his eyes: " Sauro, you may be a good person, but you are definitely not a good soldier." Sauro's heart is too soft. As a soldier, Sakazuki never dared to give his back to such a soldier, even if Sauro was persuaded by the Warring States before the war, if he saw the current tragic scene on the battlefield, would he do it again? Persuaded by the enemy, did you turn your gun to point at your own person again? Sakazuki does not dare to bet. Release the repeat offenders in the naval prison and assist them in absconding, leaking major military secrets, and even more intent on attacking the military on mission. If it is placed in the previous life, any one of them will be enough for him to shoot, and then Sauro will do it all. Is this the so-called indebtedness?

Perhaps he firmly believes in his own justice, but in the eyes of the Navy, this is a complete betrayal. From the perspective of Sakazuki, if there are other points that are excusable, the last attempt by the giant to attack the warship completely annoyed him. No one likes traitors, and Sakazuki is no exception. He doesn't like a traitor to beat his soldiers even more. Lao Tzu's soldiers, I can scold and beat, you try to touch one?

Kuzan noticed that Sakazuki really had a murderous intent, and he sighed. If Sauro did any more actions to resist the arrest today, I am afraid that the senior next to him would make a bold move. He is keenly aware that Sakazuki is a bit disgusting with Sauro, but he has not heard the rumors of the two being guilty...don’t let him think about it, Sauro has already spoken: “Indeed, I’m not a good soldier. . But I didn’t think I had done anything wrong in this matter from the beginning to the end, and I would not be a navy anymore. I am just a wanderer with justice in heart..." Without waiting for him to finish, Sakazuki then interrupted him: "I just need to know, you, do you want to go back to the headquarters with us?"

Olvia sighed faintly: "Sauro, thank you for everything you have done for O'Hara, don't do it anymore, you can't save me!!!"

Author's message:

emmmm, a book friend suggested that I set up a group, 707524952 (I don’t know how to take a dog in Sakazuki), friends who wish to discuss the plot can add it at will.

14. Not all wanderers have lost themselves (part 2)

The flame brings not only light and heat, but when human beings are still drinking blood, the raging fire is the embodiment of fear. Now, the residents of O'Hara finally recalled the memory engraved in the genes of human beings from the ancient blood-the fear and awe of the fire by the creatures! The refugees on the refuge ship stared at the island not far away with their mouths. Not long ago, there were still vibrant forests, peaceful small towns, and the omniscient tree that has stood for thousands of years...burning! combustion! combustion! ! The flames seemed to have ignited everything. The woods surrounding the island had already been swallowed by the flames, and the trees that had been dried out by the water vapor had become a new oxidant. From a distance, they looked like a fascinating red lotus in full bloom. With the continuous shelling, O'Hara is like a **** on earth. Many residents kneel on the deck of the refuge ship, praying for the salvation of the gods. Countless residents and their families hugged tightly, with tears streaming down their faces, watching the red lotus karma raging in the world, thinking of their hometown that they could not go back to.

The salvo of shelling eventually destroyed the omniscient tree. Even though it stood for a thousand years, it could not withstand the life-killing iron bullets fired from naval naval guns. "The All-Knowing Tree is down!" I don't know who made such an exclamation. Olvia covered Robin's eyes with his palms, and looked sadly at the All-Knowing Tree that was cut off from the middle of the trunk. Robin was stopped by his mother with one hand and cried bitterly: "Doctor!! Everyone!"

Sakazuki looked at Sauro quietly, waiting for his reply, even the loud noise of the omniscient tree being blasted could not distract him. Sauro turned his head and looked at the O'Hara iconic giant tree buried in a sea of ​​flames. Anger was burning in his eyes. He turned to look at Sakazuki and whispered: "You don’t even have eyelids when you witness these tragedies. Will you blink? All these destroyed by you, don’t you even have the least guilt? The homes lost by countless civilians, and you, as the initiator, just look at it indifferently, such a cold-blooded navy, I am It won't be what you want!"

Sakazuki looked at Sauro indifferently, shook his head, hands suddenly clenched into fists, and rolling lava surged on his arms: "This is not the answer I want to hear. During the war, I was first a member of the Navy. A soldier, a soldier. Then someone who considers humanitarianism. War is cruel, Sauro! You are seeking your own death!"

The magma is gradually wrapping the arms, making the arms of Sakazuki look a bit huge. The dark red magma rotates on the arm, and the closer to the fist surface, the more red the luster of the magma, even faintly permeating the clenched knuckles. Incandescent. The giant magma fist ran into Sauro’s big hand from high to low with great strength—"Ah ah ah ah!!!" A heart-piercing scream came from Sauro’s mouth, and In Sakazuki, the left arm of the fist almost disappeared, and the hot lava burned his skin, muscles and bones. The half of the humerus bone that had not been melted by the talented magma was full of scorch marks, and the splashing magma fell on him. Sauro lost his balance and fell face down on the uneven mud floor. His pupils suddenly shrank due to severe pain, and some of them lost their focus. The huge size has turned into a good target. The cold sweat on Sauro's forehead couldn't stop dripping, and his whole body was trembling with pain.

Sakazuki did not launch the next blow, because someone was faster than him, Kuzan silently affixed to Sauro’s side, with one hand on Sauro’s body, and Sauro’s left body was naked. The visible speed was quickly covered with frost, and the power of the frozen fruit quickly took away the heat from his body, freezing his blood and organs. The ice on the stump of the arm burned by Sakazuki was visible, and Sauro finally felt no burning pain, on the contrary, the whole body was bitingly cold. The freezing gave the consciousness an illusion, and Sauro felt that he was a little warmer, warm, like a comfortable hot spring and hot bath.

He tried his best to look up at Robin, whose mouth and eyes were tightly covered by his mother. He spoke a little laboriously, and his voice was a little astringent: "Sweet, don't be afraid, when you go to Malin Vandor, you will find that in the navy. There are also good people with a kind heart, you will find a companion who loves you and fights for your life there in the future, Sakazuki, Kuzan, I want you to promise!!! No matter what, you must ensure Robin's thoroughness!!! Remember Live, Robin! Just laugh like this when it's bitter...." The voice became smaller and smaller, and with the complete freezing, Sauro turned into a huge ice sculpture.

Kuzan and Sakazuki did not speak, and stood silently in front of Sauro's ice sculpture. He is indeed not suitable to be a soldier, he has no hard heart. The rugged giant kept his big, gentle heart until he died.

"!!!" Olvia burst into tears, and no longer had the strength to cover Robin's mouth and eyes, and the thin and short girl in her arms was crying like a mottled and broken porcelain doll.

Sakazuki stepped forward, took a half step back with his right foot, his knees were not on the ground, his hips were sitting on his right heels, his hands were naturally placed on his knees, his upper body was straight, he looked at Robin’s eyes, sinking He said: "Whoever you want to hate is your freedom, but I will still raise you well. You will study and grow in the navy headquarters. Even if you want to take revenge on me {the culprit} in the future, I will allow it. But Before that, I will still be your guardian. You have to be glad that you are alive. You have to remember! There is hope when people live."

Kuzan didn’t linger, and walked straight to his ship. On the edge of the coast, he stopped, turned his head and glanced at Sauro’s ice sculpture, and stared deeply at the words of Sakazuki. Robin. He whispered: "I agree to your request, old friend." With a soft sound, Kuzan leaped towards the warship.

15. What is a soldier (part 1)

The artillery fire that swept O'Hara lasted all night, and the silence did not belong to O'Hara tonight. The black night was supposed to be dyed red by the skyrocketing fire. Even if it is thousands of miles away, you can see the gorgeous but desolate scenery caused by this man. Countless people sleepless tonight, shed their tears, cried and throated dumb, but could not return to their homes in memory. The O'Hara fire slowly faded until the first glow of the sun appeared at the end of the sea level.

Robin, who was wearing a military blanket on the warship, quietly looked at O'Hara, who was already a piece of white ground, through the slightly raised glass of the porthole. Tears were already dry, and his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, only the sadness that was filled with nowhere to vent.

A sergeant knocked on the door and pushed in with one hand. In the other hand, he was holding a sandwich with fried eggs and minced salmon salad. He gently pushed the dinner plate in front of the tear-stained little girl. He smiled mildly: "The lieutenant-admiral said that you have been crying for so long, and he was upset by the noise and asked the kitchen to make a breakfast."

Robin looked up at the uncle navy who has the brown national character Hu. He opened his mouth to look a little anxious, but he couldn't make a sound hoarse. This nazor, who was in charge of logistics on the warship, was gentle and had always had a good popularity. He recalled When the lieutenant general in Sakazuki returned to the warship last night, he removed a re-captured felon, Olvia, and a civilian child abandoned by his parents. He announced in front of the crew of the ship that he would adopt this cause. The little girl who eats devil fruit by mistake is treated as a monster by the whole island.

It surprised the seafarers of a ship, although it was known that the navy also trained some orphans of naval soldiers and some unadopted orphans as fresh blood for the army. But it is difficult for them to think that this tough guy has the iron-blooded and tender side of being used to the vigorous and resolute military style of their lieutenant generals on weekdays. At any rate, Zhong Zuo accompanied the ship on and off the great sea route, and he also heard some anecdotes that people with devil fruit ability were isolated and expelled by the locals as monsters. But today I saw one case with my own eyes. Obviously eight years old, but thin and short is not as tall as some six-year-old children. The thin and black figure can know with the cerebellum that it must have never been full on weekdays. Now, under the order of Tu Mo, her family even abandon her and run away. He couldn't help looking at the child with some pity, as if he understood Lieutenant General's psychology a little, and he might make the same choice if he replaced it.

He looked at the girl kindly, and said softly: "Little guy, you are safe, don't worry, don't worry that you will be bullied for eating Devil Fruit. Even Uncle, I know several powerful Devil Fruit capable people." His thinking circuit did not match Robin at all, Robin tried his best to speak up, but the little girl thought it was a hoarse shout in Zhong Zuo's ear but just murmured, Zhong Zuo simply squatted down and listened to Robin's repeated words.

"..." His gentle smile faded, because he heard the girl's question—the girl asked him in a hoarse cry, "Are there any people alive on O'Hara Island?"

Zhong Zuo raised his head and looked at O'Hara, whose gun smoke hadn't dissipated outside the porthole. After all, the Navy is the executor of this nightmare. He couldn't face the child in front of him for a while. He grinned reluctantly: "I'm going out first. Just put the dinner plate there after you finish eating and sleep well..." He could no longer bear the increasingly desperate look in the child's eyes. Fleeing and leaving the cabin.

The marines on the deck had already stopped attacking. Gathered in twos and threes to wipe the deck blackened by gunpowder jets and the gun barrels covered with gunpowder slag. Seeing Zhongzuo walking out of the room, they all looked at him with inquiring eyes. Zhongzuo shook his head and walked quickly to the center of the deck. A heartfelt gift: "Your Excellency, I have delivered the meal." Sakazuki O'Hara, who was not far away, looked down at his logistics officer after hearing the words: "Thanks for your hard work, let's do your job."

"Yes"

The ghost spider stood beside him and slowly said: "The lieutenant admiral really intends to adopt this child?" He has never cared about civilian deaths and injuries. As long as the mission can be completed, the justice of the navy can be served. He ghost spider does not care about the life or death of soldiers. , Let alone civilians. He has always used Sakazuki as his model. But today his respected chief's move made him puzzled.

Sakazuki looked at his subordinates. The previous Sakazuki admired the idea that ghost spiders do whatever they can and do at all costs for their tasks. But now from his perspective, he can only say that he respects this idea, but he doesn't agree with it. From a historical perspective, is there any overlord who is not such a cruel or even cold-blooded lord? Even the Ming Jun and Xian Wang who have left his name in the past can not escape a thick black hat, let alone the army, which has cultivated professional butchers since ancient times. Flesh and blood grinder. After all, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing... which of these Chinese military gods is Song Xianggong, who is a benevolent and righteous man? On the battlefield, he can use the most efficient means to cause the greatest degree of damage to the enemy, and even more so. The ultimate goal pursued and attempted by countless troops. The ultimate product of applying this theory to practice in the previous life of Sakazuki is the nuclear weapon that many countries are eager for.

Sakazuki did not change the look, did not directly answer the question of the ghost spider, but turned the topic to the other side: "This time the landing operation allowed me to sort out a problem that has troubled me for a long time."

The ghost spider replied respectfully: "Master Sakazuki, I would like to hear the details."

Sakazuki tilted his head and asked his major general, "Who are we?"

"?!" This question came without a head, and the ghost spider thought for a while and replied: "Naturally it is the navy."

Sakazuki nodded: "Yes, our identity is the navy." He continued to ask "then what is the navy?"

This problem is also not difficult for Ghost Spider. He sorted out his thoughts and replied affirmatively: "The military organization directly under the world government maintains public security work and maritime military offensive and defense in the name of absolute justice throughout the world."

"Then we are the army, right?"

"Yes, Lieutenant General, there is no doubt about it."

Sakazuki raises the last question: "So, ghost spider, what is a soldier?"

16. What is a soldier (middle)

"Soldier..." The ghost spider muttered these two words in a low voice. He hesitated for a while. He replied with an uncertain tone: "We are the defenders of peace, and we are the military positions serving in the army. Personnel, to maintain the stability of the world government regime and the stability of the country under the rule of the franchise.” After speaking, the ghost spider looked up at Sakazuki and waited for the Lieutenant General’s evaluation. Sakazuki nodded approvingly: "Yes, but not all."

The ghost spider is not impatient, and waits quietly for the following, Sakazuki pulls the gloves unhurriedly, and says: "The soldier is accompanied by the war. The purpose of our existence is to control violence. Come to quell the turmoil and the war." These words fit the ghost spider’s appetite, and he couldn’t help but echo Sakazuki, as expected. Sakazuki waved his hand and continued, "The soldiers are Living for war and dying for peace. Being a soldier does not mean being a soldier. A true soldier has justice and enthusiasm in his heart, and uses his own clank and iron bones to defend the safety and interests of the country and the people." Many soldiers I stopped my work and looked here, listening to the words of Sakazuki. Some even kept nodding their heads.

Sakazuki looked around and spoke again with a loud voice: "The essence of a soldier is dedication and commitment. Soldiers chose dedication and sacrifice in their youth. Soldiers! They chose strength and perseverance when they were the loneliest. Soldiers! In the face of grievances from relatives and lovers, they chose patience and silence! When faced with the test of life and death, soldiers chose to work hard and forget their lives!” On the deck, some soldiers and generals Looking at Sakazuki, his eyes were filled with inexplicable enthusiasm and awe. There was no sound on the deck, and many navy officers recalled their passion and pursuit of justice when they joined the navy.

Sakazuki turned his head to look at the meditating major general: "Where does our military expenditure come from?" Before the ghost spider could speak, he asked and replied: "It is the world government. But have you ever thought about the world government? Where does the financial resources come from? Yes! From each of the participating countries, where does the money from each participating country come from?" A sergeant put down the rag to wipe the artillery, a little hesitant: "It is the tax of the nationals and subjects of each country."

Sakazuki quickly interfaced: "Yes, civilians from our vast numbers, who use their tax money to support the army! Even the vast majority of naval soldiers come from civilians with justice in their hearts! Then you tell me, if we can’t protect Their safety and interests, then, what is the difference between this and betrayal?! The soldiers chose the army. Although there are many unspeakable helplessness and sadness, this will not become a reason for us to desert and refuse to carry out the mission. The army gave us Being strong has given us responsibilities and obligations. Soldiers suffer from what ordinary people can't eat, and endure what ordinary people can't bear. As a soldier, you can be stunned, but as a soldier! You must have a backbone! A soldier!! You must have a soul!!" () Sakazuki) shouted out, directly turning the conversation into an impromptu speech. He didn't ask everyone to agree with his point of view, but only hoped that the soldiers could remember and hold on to their bottom line as a "human".

Whether it is adopting Robin or rescuing civilians, Sakazuki does its best. He can't save the scholars on O'Hara, or Olvia, let alone Sauro. But he hopes that similar tragedies will not happen again in the future. One severe pain is enough. Sakazuki hopes to change, not just me. He was unable to deal with this blow, nor did he expect to change the command of the general of the Warring States Period. But I hope that from this moment on, I will gradually influence the navy headquarters with my meager power. After all, personal strength is limited, even if one's strength is amazing and in a high position. But if this kind of difficult reform from top to bottom is supported by the unanimous internally approved bottom-up will, it would be much easier than that.

Several admirals moved their feet together and raised their hands to salute in the direction of Sakazuki. More and more people raised their hands without applause or applause, but the soldiers remained silent, showing their sincere respect to the lieutenant in the way of the army.

The silent ghost spider looked at his boss with enlightenment, even if he was cold and iron-blooded, even if a long time passed. I will never forget my original intention. But today's Sakazuki words opened a new door for him. People may have different definitions and understandings of justice, but the iron bones and dignity of a soldier are what Sakazuki wants to tell him in the end. He stands upright, kicks and turns, and salutes Sakazuki deeply. Sakazuki has a deep but powerful voice: "Tell me, what are you?"

The voices of the people on the deck broke through the clouds: "Soldiers! Soldiers! Soldiers!"
