Chapter 44 It's A Big Joke!
Another place, above the sea.
"Crack~click~click..."
The crisp sound spread from time to time.
On the boundless sea, a piece of floating ice suddenly appeared.
The area of the ice floes is small, with a diameter of about five meters, which is still irregular.
On the ice floe, there was a tall and embarrassed figure.
His clothes were torn and stained, and there were many dark red bloodlines.
Leaning against a low wall of ice.
He sat on the ice floe, his pale face was in stark contrast to the bright red flowing down from his forehead.
And he is also the Admiral of Headquarters, Aokiji who fought with Jiang Zhe before!
"Huh~"
Adjusting his breath, Aokiji slowed down for a long time before he regained his energy.
At this time, the irregular ice floe, which was originally only five meters in diameter, had spread to seven or eight meters.
Floes spread slowly.
If there were no crisp and clear sounds, it would be difficult for the naked eye to catch them.
"This is really... a big joke on me."
Looking at the injuries on his body, Aokiji seemed to be enjoying himself while suffering.
But in his heart, he was full of unwillingness.
As one of Marine's top fighters, one of Admiral's headquarters.
Not to mention failing to protect the people and failing to protect the base.
Even himself was almost beaten to death in a small place by an unknown pirate.
This is a great shame!
Holding his breath, Aokiji stood up with some difficulty.
Looking into the distance, he took a step and walked back in the direction of Marine Base.
"Da da da...."
Even at this time, he is above the sea.
There was nothing around except the ice floes under his feet, and he still took steps and moved forward.
Just when his steps were about to fall towards the flowing sea.
A terrible chill overflowed.
The flowing sea level freezes in an instant.
"Crack! Crack~"
And Aokiji walked back towards the base step by step.
...
…
I don't know how long it took before Aokiji finally returned to Marine Base.
Looking at the island that has turned into ruins.
Aokiji had a complicated look on his face.
The emotion of self-blame was constantly amplified in his heart.
So much so that he stood where he was, looking at the ruins for a long, long time...
Even if there are surviving Marines and civilians to ask about his situation.
He just stood there without saying a word.
Also at this moment, the ruins have already become a mark in Aokiji's heart.
It can never be erased, and will always be alert to his mark!
"We'll meet again..."
"Next time...it won't happen again!"
…
…
a sea area,
Where the Battle Pirates are, on the deck of the ship.
Whether it's a member of the Conquest Pirates, a rescued criminal, or an intruder.
They are all gathered here at this moment.
Strangely, there was no voice on deck.
Only the sound of the boat riding the wind and breaking the waves surrounds my ears.
Jiang Zhe watched indifferently, and the two intruders kneeling in front of him were silent.
Speaking up.
These two intruders were actually two young girls.
The older ones don't look more than eleven or twelve years old.
The younger one looks like seven or eight years old.
They were dirty, their clothes were torn, and they smelled sour.
From this appearance, one could tell that they were two vagrants.
Look at the slightly older girl.
Pointing to the skull on the sail, Jiang Zhe asked calmly.
"Do you know what that pattern symbolizes?"
The girl looked sideways, then looked at Jiang Zhe and nodded firmly.
"I know. You are pirates."
Looking at the girl's appearance and hearing her tone, Jiang Zhe couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he was seen smiling and nodding his head, looking at Heavenly Dao Payne beside him.
"Throw it into the sea and feed the fish."
Tiandao Payne immediately stepped forward.
But the two little girls shivered from fright.
"Wait... wait a minute! Let... let us join you." The older girl hurriedly said.
The younger one was already trembling with fright, unable to speak.
"I don't need any burden on my boat." Jiang Zhe refused with a flat tone, with the same expression as usual.
Tiandao Payne also came to the two girls and picked them up.
This time, the girl was crying anxiously.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe, her voice was crying and trembling.
"I...we won't be a burden! We can do chores and eat less, just one bowl of rice a day!"
"So... please, don't feed us to the fish. I have strength and I can do chores."
"Please... woo woo woo..."
