After fleeing in a sorry state and traveling day and night, the group of pirates finally reached a small hidden island on the Great Sea Route. Only then did they stop and rest. The island was very quiet. There was only a small fishing village, a small port, and a small but well-equipped tavern. Bree, Wester, and the surviving pirates soaked there every day, using the power of alcohol to forget their fear and sadness.
Hai Lei Ding hid deep in the mountains. Because he had a wanted poster hanging on him, he chose not to appear in front of everyone in order to avoid too much trouble. Moreover, his current condition was not good.
Although he could rely on the power of the Devil's Fruit to save himself, the loss of vitality and mental strength could not be easily made up for. Therefore, after that battle, Hayredin, who was lucky enough to use his most powerful skill, fell into a coma for seven days. His body was constantly bleeding and hot, and he fell into a state of convulsion a few times. Thanks to the healing medicine Bree had secretly passed down from his family, he finally survived the most dangerous period.
Clenching his fists, Hayredding once again turned his attention to his own body. At that time, he had forcefully used his strength and entered the immature state of the God of War's Body. Although the power was astonishing, it had caused his internal organs to be in a high-load state. Karp's heavy punch had become the fuse that caused his body to collapse. In fact, before he had finally erupted, the burden on his body had already reached a very dangerous state. Not to mention the burning state of his life force at the end. Although it was only a kick, the consumption and loss of his body had far exceeded the sum of the previous injuries. His internal organs were bleeding profusely, his blood vessels were ruptured, and his skin and muscles were necrotic. If it were any other person, such injuries would have killed them more than ten times. If it weren't for the power of the fruit that automatically protected his body, it would have been useless even if Bree's secret medicine was ten times more effective. Even now, the injuries in his body had almost healed, but he still felt that he could not raise his spirit and that his entire body was weak. Looking at the reflection in the river, what he saw was a tired face, as well as the white hair that silently appeared on his head.
Along with the huge risks, the benefits that Hayredding reaped were obvious. First of all, under Karp's powerful pressure, Hayredding had finally broken through the limits of his dreams. Although it was only for a moment, that experience was precious. Hayredin firmly believed that after experiencing this level of power, as long as he had enough time, he would be able to truly step into that world.
Secondly, Hayredding had used all the skills he had created on the island once. Under the verification of an expert like Karp, he had discovered many flaws. As long as he could improve them, his strength would have another breakthrough.
The most gratifying thing for Hayredin was that his brothers had not been completely wiped out. Although many had died, many more had survived. Their sacrifices were not without value. In the end, Bree, Wester, and Guina's shocked faces and anxious cries were deeply imprinted in Hayredding's mind. At the moment of his life and death, they did not give up, but thought of all means to save him. Hai Lei Ding was very glad that he could once again find such a group of brothers. Only such brothers who never left him could accompany him to the peak.
However, I was still a little too arrogant. I had originally thought that my strength would increase greatly and that I would be able to approach the peak of the game. If that was the case, I might be able to defeat Karp and win. He did not expect himself to be so arrogant. No, this won't do! If not for this accidental breakthrough, he would have killed his brothers. Next time, he had to keep a low profile. Remember! This sea was boundless, and experts were everywhere. One must not be careless! Hayredin reminded himself silently in his heart.
"Ina, your heart is a little chaotic!”As soon as he finished his thoughts, Haredin keenly sensed that something was wrong with Gu Yina, who was standing under the waterfall and waving her blade. He reminded her,"Mr. Bigworf's sword technique focuses on the infusion of Qi, abandoning all distracting thoughts, controlling saber intent, controlling oneself, and becoming one with the saber. This was the reason why Mr. Bigworf had defeated countless people but had never killed anyone.”
"I'm sorry! "Captain…My heart is in a mess…I still feel a little scared." Gu Yina put away her knife and turned to look at Hayredding. Her eyes were filled with mist as she said with a sobbing tone,"I'm afraid.""Every time I calm down, I will recall the scene of that day. A few uncles and big brothers who were usually very friendly to me fell in a pool of blood just like that. They were so helpless, but I only felt fear. I didn't even go up to them and listen to their last words.”
Hearing Gu Yina's cries, Hayredding fell silent for a moment before jumping into the water. He patted Gu Yina's head and comforted her,"The first time I faced such a situation, I also felt a deep sense of self-blame for my own weakness. At that time, I was still doing odd jobs in a pirate group. My first mate once said to me,'Forget the faces of your dead brothers, bring their dreams with you, don't look back, keep moving forward until you fall too, or realize his dreams.''In this sea, the law of the jungle was a daily occurrence. If one wanted to realize their dreams and protect something, one needed strength, and strength alone was not enough! You also need a firm heart, a heart that will never stop moving forward. The sea didn't care if you were a boy or a girl. It always treated you equally. So, Yina, you have to work hard!"
Ina deeply pondered the encouragement and trust revealed between Hayredding's words. She smiled through her tears and nodded."Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, I'll continue to work hard. At least I won't lose to Sauron.”
Nodding, Haredin silently watched Guina, who had regained her composure. Haredin's thoughts seemed to have reached heaven. There was the first mate, Captain Mobil, and his brothers who had once fought hard. Captain Mobil, First Mate, did you see that? "The current me can already shoulder your ideals and lead these brothers who believe in me to that place. Just watch and see how far I can go in Kingdom of Heaven.
At the same time, in the tavern of the fishing village, Bree slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and reeked of alcohol."This is impossible! You must have cheated!"
Facing Bree's accusation, the middle-aged man calmly crossed his legs and played with the dice in his hand."Is that so? Show me the evidence!"
"You!" Bree was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't produce any evidence. He had already used up all his savings in the past few rounds. He had clearly gotten a good hand in the past few rounds, but this guy seemed to know his cards. His every move was targeted, making him lose very resentfully. He could not help but shout.
Winston was sipping his wine elegantly at the side, watching the show. Seeing Bree lose his composure, he immediately seized the opportunity and mocked,"With your level, you still dare to come out and play cards. You didn't lose to the point where you used your pants.”
"Do you want to fight?" Bree had nowhere to vent his anger. When he heard Wester's mocking words, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Wester like an enraged fighting cock.
"Big brother, you have to hold it in!" A few lackeys rushed out and dragged Bree to the side. Bree was still unwilling to give up and shouted at Winston,"Aren't you very awesome? Prove it to me, you bet with him!”
"Rude fellow!" Winston took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his lips. Then, he walked elegantly to the middle-aged man's side and gave him a noble salute. Then, he said confidently,""I can see that you are a top gambler, and I happen to have a little knowledge of these card skills, so please give me some advice.”
After a while, Winston's face turned pale. He stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with an incredulous expression, his face full of despair.
"Haha!" The middle-aged man smiled and put all the chips on the table into his pocket. He kept laughing and said,"Thank you for your support and selfless investment.”
"Haha!" Bree held his stomach and slapped the table, laughing loudly,""Is this what an expert looks like? I think you lost even more miserably than me!"
"No, I can't! This was impossible! This match was clearly within my calculations. How could it be like this?”Winston followed Bree's footsteps and pointed at the middle-aged man, shouting,""You must have cheated!"
"Could it be that you want to renege on your debt?" The middle-aged man calmly looked at the pirates who surrounded him and said indifferently,"You're asking for trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the field, and a few pirates were instantly sent flying.
So fast! There was only shock left in Bree and Winston's hearts!
