“Carl, why?”

Luffy looked at the corpses everywhere, his eyes full of confusion and sadness.

After listening to the boy’s story, Luffy and his team also walked around the town and found many survivors, but they also saw more corpses.

“Luffy, this is a pirate.”Karl sighed, controlled the simple excavator made with his ability, and continued the work of digging graves.

They planned to help all the dead bury them in their graves before setting off for Cocoyasi Village.

“I told you before, pirates want to kill people!”

“I’m a pirate too”

“You’re different from them, Luffy! We are also different from them.”As he said that, Carl pointed to Sanji and Usopp who were busy lighting a fire to cook,”This is also…Why did we choose you, Luffy?”

“This is also the first time for us to experience such a thing”

“I do not understand.”Luffy shook his head.

“You don’t need to understand, Luffy, no one in the world can understand everything.”Karl pointed to his chest and explained,”And we just need to follow our hearts.”

“Here, I’ll tell you what to do”

“I don’t think this is right, Carl!”Luffy lowered his head, seeming to be struggling in his heart,”It shouldn’t be like this!”

“I don’t know why, I think it shouldn’t be like this”

“Aren’t pirates supposed to be the freest people on the sea? Why…Why it came out like this?”

“This is wrong”

“My heart tells me that this is wrong, it shouldn’t be like this”

“No need to know why. Just do what you want!”Karl looked at him seriously,”This is also freedom.”

“Everyone has a different definition of freedom, and everyone has a different definition of pirates.”

“pirate…It’s just a name, just a title, Luffy, don’t be bound by the title others impose on you.”

“What you have to do is to pursue the pirate’s way and be the pirate you want to be.”

“instead of…A pirate defined by others”

“free…How can there be absolute freedom in the world? However, some people are bound by secular rules, while for others, they are bound by inner shackles.”

“Luffy, as long as you are worthy of your own heart, it will be fine”

“In that case, you will be the freest person on this sea.”

“Carl, I don’t understand.”Luffy still lowered his head

“You don’t need to understand, you just need to know what you want to do.”Karl held Luffy’s shoulders and stared into his eyes,”Just ask your heart, Luffy!”

“If this is you, you must know what to do!”

“You’re the captain, aren’t you?”

“I…I have no idea.”

Luffy said bitterly.

He is just a seventeen-year-old boy!

It is also his first time to go to sea, and I have never told him before what to do if he encounters such a thing.

He is really confused.

“No, you know it!”

“Everyone…We are all waiting for your answer! Luffy!”

Luffy raised his head and looked around, and sure enough he found Usopp, Sanji and others watching him quietly from a distance.

Even Zoro, who was supposed to be lying on the boat to recuperate and rest, unexpectedly arrived at some point. At the scene, there was a bloody wooden knife in his hand and waist.

“I want…”

“I want….”

“I want to beat Aaron away!!!”

Luffy shouted hysterically.

“Then, do it! Luffy! Karl smiled and said,”Let’s go and beat that guy away together!””

Karl patted Luffy on the shoulder, and Zoro and others also came over.

“I can no longer hold myself back! captain! Sanji gritted his teeth and said,”Please, let me be the forward.””

Because just before, he met a lot of hungry children, eating food picked up from nowhere in the dark. Even so, those children even timidly divided half of the food after seeing him. give him

“them…They have all become orphans! Luffy, help them.”Usopp’s eyes were filled with tears. He felt the same for this situation.

Once, he also watched his mother pass away with his own eyes. The pain was still unforgettable to him.

“Luffy, I’m sorry, this time…I’m going to disobey your order! Zoro looked at Luffy with sharp eyes, holding his right hand on the wooden sword at his waist,”Because I promised a man to make those fishmen…Blood debt must be paid with blood!”

That wooden knife was taken from two children. He could almost imagine that brave little boy holding his own toy wooden knife in order to protect his sister, even when facing someone who was several times taller than him. Even though the fish-man was twice as powerful, he didn’t even take a step back.

He just…This world is inherently unreasonable.

When Sauron discovered them, the two children had been stabbed through the lower abdomens with the wooden knife and were nailed to the wooden wall, leaving blood all over the floor.

Zoro knew that this kind of wooden sword was not sharp, so the enemy must have used a lot of strength to reach this point.

And those two children must not have died immediately, but struggled for a long time and finally died of blood loss.

Sauron pulled out the wooden sword, buried the two children, and swore in front of their graves that he would use this sword to make all enemies pay for their crimes with blood.

He hasn’t killed anyone for a long time, and everyone seems to have forgotten his original nickname – Pirate Hunter.

That was killed with one sword.

“Everyone…”

Luffy looked at everyone with red eyes

“We are partners, aren’t we?” Karl asked rhetorically

“Yes, we are partners!”Luffy smiled, and the tears in his eyes flowed out uncontrollably.

“Then, let’s do it together!”
