" General…" Rene moved a lieutenant general chess piece on the board.
It sealed off One Smile's path of survival.
" The marshal has been defeated. There's nothing we can do…" A smile's slightly rough hands fumbled around the chessboard.
Wen Se remembered every position.
"The marshal is sealed, but it doesn't mean that there's no way out. Your legendary shogi can defend against my attack.”Rennes said with a smile.
"It's useless. Your chess game has been waiting for me. I lost!”Yi Xiao shook his head.
" Even a small character can sometimes decide the outcome of a battle…" Rene said and made a secret gesture.
One Smile understood, and circles of purple gravity spread out from One Smile's body, filling the entire room.
" Now, I'll let this small fry prepare to restrain this legendary shogi…After the handsome chess piece is put on the shelf, the legendary general is the only way to counterattack…However, a small pirate can restrain him. After all, blood is thicker than water…"
Ryan said as he dialed a number.
The call was quickly picked up.
"The straw hat kid should be reaching your island soon. Take him down according to my method and send him to the navy headquarters. After this incident, there's no need for you to pretend to be a pirate anymore.”
" Yes…" A charming and gentle voice came from the other end.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"For Daren's plan, I am willing to give up everything.”His voice was filled with passion and tenderness.
"We will win."
"Yes!"
After a short conversation, Ryan hung up.
Even with One Smile's gravitational field.
It could interfere with other radio waves.
However, if it was too long, it might be eavesdropped by the black phone bug.
" Lieutenant General Karp, it hasn't been easy…" One Smile rearranged the chessboard.
A new round of gambling began.
"Do you sympathize with him?" Rennes moved his hand first.
"A little…he's very similar to me, but I'm not as optimistic as him. Maybe he's missing a chance.”
"If I hadn't met Your Majesty, I might still be wandering and searching…The navy was my last choice. If Vice Admiral Karp had met you a few years ago, perhaps my fate would have been different.”
Yi Xiao indeed felt regretful.
Some plans began.
They could only proceed step by step.
It could not be easily changed.
"The things we do may not be understood by the world. I have thought about what you said, but if we fail…there will always be people who are not on the same side as me, but who still uphold justice.”
"However, it is also possible that they will be sacrificed…This opportunity isn't very friendly to Karp, but it is necessary.”
Rennes wasn't surprised, nor was he moved.
Heart as still as water.
"I understand. We might be enemies with everyone.”
"Do you regret it?"
"Everything is necessary."
" Actually, I don't care about what the world has become in the past. However, someone used his blood to tell me that peace is not something that can be obtained just by waiting. Disaster is not something that can be avoided.”Ryan's words surprised One Smile.
Even if they were already very close.
But regarding Rennes's past.
They had always avoided talking about it.
" The first half of your life was filled with confusion, but a new family brought hope. It was difficult to accept at first, especially when you knew that you would have a family member who killed people like flies and could not tell right from wrong. You could not wait to escape…"
" Uneasiness, hesitation, fear…I feel like this is hell. All the information I have is useless, ordinary, and powerless.”
" But I was wrong. No matter how many times I ran away or how many times I got into trouble, they always treated me like family…When I found out that his cruelty when I was young was to protect me, I knew that in this life, they were my family.”
" I no longer ran away. Instead, I tried to change. Year after year, I thought I had succeeded. That was the happiest time of my life.”
"Although I'm still living in poverty, I still have family and friends…There was once someone who…if there were no wars in this world, would they be able to eat their fill and not have to live in fear?”
"I was very tempted, so I was no longer satisfied with just changing the people around me. I wanted to change the entire island that was filled with pirates and chaos…My brother is indeed very talented. Can you imagine that he was able to defeat several real pirate groups at the age of six?”
"We did it. As long as we follow my original plan…everyone will be able to eat and not have to worry anymore.”
" But…I was wrong. In this world, changing an island alone is not enough. Celebrating the night before, Locks came…"
"One by one, familiar faces fell in flames and blood. That kind of power is not something that a few children like us can change.”
"She…still hasn't had a full meal! My life was saved by them…"
"I broke my promise."
"I know I owe them. The world must be as it should be. All existences that bring chaos must be ended!”
"And my brother is still alive. His dream has never been to become a navy officer, but…to be a botanist.”
"When he was young, he could stare at a flower for an entire day.”
"A world that can't grow flowers and grass is not a good world.”
……
Yi Xiao listened quietly.
He did not interfere.
This was not a touching story.
He even skipped over many details that he did not want to recall.
But he had to admit that he really wanted to see Sakasugi become a botanist.
That must be interesting.
