As a king, his strength was passable, but in the sea, it was just ordinary.
He walked to Giotto's side and carefully sized up the young man in front of him. He felt that there was a familiar feeling, but he could not remember where he had seen him before.
"There's no special reason. I just don't want to see a person with extraordinary talent isolate himself from the world like this. I hope that I can bring him to see the outside world, so that he can enjoy his future as a real person, not just as a sword warrior.”
Giotto voiced out his thoughts. When he said this, he had an inexplicable influence.
"If you can do it, try it. I also want Cyrus to live, not just as a sword warrior who restrains his feet. So, if you can do it, I will thank you. Guards, take him to Cyrus.”
It was only their first meeting, but the Elixir King felt that he could trust this young man in front of him. Even he himself could not explain why he trusted a stranger so much.
After nodding to the king, Giotto followed the guard towards Cyrus.
Suddenly, the king asked,""Young man, what is your name?”
"Pengri Giotto."
After a simple reply, Giotto and the guards disappeared from the sight of the king.
At this moment, the Liku King stood in place, constantly recalling this name. It was very familiar, but where had he seen this name before? He seemed to have seen that young man before…
Orange hair, noble attire, black cloak…
Pengelie Giotto…
"Ah!"
" Ah!" A cry of surprise burst out from the mouth of the Liku King. He stared at the direction where there was no one else. His eyes were wide open, and his jaw felt like it was about to fall to the ground. It seemed that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to express his shock because he finally remembered where he had seen that young man before!
"Your Majesty, is there a problem with that young man's name?”The guard at the side was puzzled.
This was the first time he had seen his king so shocked. Even when he was hit in the head by Cyrus many years ago, his king was as calm as water.
Now, just hearing a name, how did it become like this?
Could it be that the young man was the illegitimate son of King Liku?
However, if it was really not bad, their kingdom would have a successor.
Just as the soldier's imagination was running wild, the king immediately waved his hand and said,""Hurry up and bring me the bounty that the navy issued previously…Pengri Giotto, did you see this young man on the bounty? The existence with a bounty of 970 million Bailey had actually appeared in Dresrosa just like that?”
However, it seemed that through the short contact just now, the other party was not someone who had committed heinous crimes. On the contrary, he had a good impression of him.
But no matter what, a person who could be put on such a high bounty by the navy could not be ignored!
This guy with a bounty of almost a billion could probably destroy Dresrosa alone!
……
In the bullfighting arena, under the lead of the guards, Giotto quickly saw the fierce-looking guy. He could feel a good aura from him.
Had he grown to such a level just by relying on his talent and fighting in the Bullfighting Arena?
There was no doubt that Cyrus was very talented. His physical fitness and reaction speed were far superior to ordinary people. Just by relying on his instinctive reaction, he had won more than 2,000 battles in the arena. It was said that he was not far from 3,000 consecutive victories.
"I've never heard of anyone else coming to my place besides the Elixir King.”Cyrus looked up. He had been in the arena all this time and did not care about the news outside, so he naturally did not know Giotto.
"Is it fun to lock yourself in a cage?”
Giotto did not care about Cyrus's attitude. He sat on the ground outside the cage and leaned against the iron bars."Until now, do you still think that you are a beast that only deserves to be in a cage? A murderer who had no place to live outside?”
What do you understand?"
Cyrus instantly roared,""My hands are covered in blood. No matter where I go, I'm a beast that only knows how to kill! From that day onwards, it could only be like this. This is a fact that I can't change no matter what.”
After the roar, he seemed to have lost all his strength. A legendary swordsman who had never lost in the arena actually sat on the ground and looked at his hands in a daze. It was as if he could still see the blood that could not be wiped away.
"A wild beast?"
Giotto turned his head and looked at Cyrus calmly.""And for what reason did you commit murder, Cyrus? It was because those hooligans killed your good friend with their numbers, so you raised your weapon and went to take revenge. If I remember correctly, this is what you were determined to do back then.”
"And then? What are you trying to say here, bastard! Did you come here to humiliate me just to reveal my damn past?”
Cyrus grabbed the cage with both hands. His body trembled at the mention of these things, not out of anger, but out of regret.
He regretted what he had done in the past. In his heart, he shouted," If only people could forget me."
"I don't have such a bad interest in humiliating others. As for the reason why I'm here, it's just because I recognize you.”
Giotto slowly stood up and reached out to Cyrus."For so many years, you have been sealing your life in this cage called the Arena. What is the point? Instead of regretting his past, he might as well choose to protect it with his sword. The outside world is very exciting. Your life shouldn't end here, so let go of your restraints!”
"Do you…acknowledge me?" Cyrus looked up at Giotto, his voice trembling.
After so many years, this was the first time he had heard someone acknowledge him.
"Yes, I acknowledge you. So, will you be my family, Cyrus?”
