King's Castle, observation deck.
"That ship should be the ship of leader Buggy."
Daoer, who was dressed in white, looked slightly into the distance, watching the majestic ocean current rising into the sky in the distance, and the ant-like ship at the edge of the ocean current actually actually followed the ocean current up to the sky, and couldn't help but say.
Jass held a cigar in his mouth. "Sure enough, Grand Line's seven routes all exist, and this island also has a way to move forward."
Tink said coldly, "He is ahead of us."
"Yeah..." Daoer took out a reward list on his body, "After all, he is a big pirate with more than 100 million, and not only him, but his crew members are also guys who can compare with you and me. Such overall strength is really terrifying..."
Tink took the reward list of Buggy from Daoer without any emotional fluctuation. "He is very strong, and I look forward to meeting him in the future."
"It seems that Hedgehog Head, you bastard is not convinced, cough cough..." Jass laughed twice, and coughed twice because of the severe injuries on his body, and then said, "But, I am not convinced either! Next, I will go to Little Sabaody and summon capable cadres... Hedgehog Head, should we join forces again to completely dominate Little Sabaody!"
"Complete domination... sounds good." Tink said, turning to Daoer and asking, "Want to join forces together?"
"I'll forget it." Daoer smiled slightly, "I still have some treasure maps left on the ship. I'm going to set off with the treasure map hunter Hildo to find the treasure he buried. After all, I promised leader Buggy before... This guy actually believed in me unconditionally. It's really embarrassing, and I had to make a trip..."
Tink and Jass looked at Daoer with expressions of joy flashing from time to time in their eyes, and then looked at each other with their eyes: they said no, but they were obviously very happy to be asked. They were completely caught and exploited because of this personality!!
"By the way." Daoer took out Golden Eye from his pocket, "I will leave this thing to you for safekeeping first."
"Okay." Tink took Golden Eye, "Put it here with me."
"Well..." Daoer asked again, "What are you going to do with Xilo?"
"Xilo..." Jass and Tink said at the same time, and looked at each other, "We will not kill him, but we will keep him under house arrest in this castle."
In the frozen warehouse at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the King's Castle.
Frans, whose temples were dyed with white frost, bent over the cold coffin. He gently dusted off the dust and frost on the coffin lid. Looking at the familiar face in the crystal coffin, a deep smile appeared on his frozen face. There was a fascination in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"Xia, do you still remember when we first met, on the street in front of this king's castle? Nineteen years ago, I was just the son of a small businessman, and you were the daughter of a fisherman. In order to help your father, you set up a stall on the street to sell fish, but you were discovered by patrolling soldiers, beaten up and driven away.
It's a coincidence. It was probably a fateful encounter. When I passed there, I fell in love with you at first sight, who was stubborn and unyielding. I started to keep asking for information about you, and ran to your house every day on the pretext of buying fish. After all, I am the son of a businessman, and what I am best at is stalking. If not, how could I make you fall in love with me..."
Frans said and laughed silly, "That was probably the happiest time in my life. We were like children, running barefoot and playing on the beach, listening to the magical sounds in the conch, putting our feet in the sea water washed up on the beach, and when we were tired, we would lie on the wet sand, getting dirty all over our bodies...
The next step will not be so happy. I know that the period after that will be the most painful period in your life. Those damn pirates killed your parents. If it weren't for you staying with me, you would have encountered something unexpected..."
Frans fell silent after speaking. In his opinion, Xia lying in the coffin was still alive, so he tried not to mention these things.
"Later, you finally recovered from your long grief. I remember you said to me on the day of our wedding, 'I want to take a good look at the true face of this sea. Even if there are such dirty pirates, I believe that the nature of this sea is pure and innocent...'
I always remember what you said, because you are the person I love most, and I want to fulfill any of your wishes, so I will find ways to expand the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally use the opportunity of taxation to contact the group of mercenaries and overthrow the rule of Visuru. In this way, you can be on the upper floor of the castle every day, overlooking this beautiful sea..."
Frans said, like a child crying helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I hadn't put my mind on the plan and ignored you, I wouldn't have known about you until you were seriously ill. You shouldn't have You should hide it from me. I am not bothering for power. To me, a king or something is not as good as a hair of yours. I just want you to be happy every day. I just want to live like this with you forever. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Frans's throat was choked, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak.
"Father..." Qixilu came over from behind with tears in his eyes and said with red eyes, "You have been kneeling here for three hours. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
Frans quickly wiped his tears with cold and frosty clothes, not wanting his daughter to see him like this, "I understand, you should go out first. I want to catch up with your mother again. We haven't talked like this for a long time."
"Father, don't be like this. We will definitely find a way to resurrect the queen. If your body collapses, in the future... there will be no hope at all..."
"Yes, there is still a chance..." Frans comforted himself and cheered up a little. He wanted to stand up, but found that his legs were frozen and he had lost consciousness. He put his hands on the ground and tried to straighten his feet.
Qixilu hurriedly put his hands together, and carried Frans gently behind his back, saying softly, "Father, I remember when I used to cry, you would sing a song to me, and then I would laugh through my tears... Do you still remember?"
"Yeah, it's a song that Xia taught me to sing..."
"Just let me sing to you, so that you won't be so sad anymore."
Qixilu sang softly like coaxing a baby.
"Oh~ on the distant coast, the Weilan sea breeze blows, people's faces,
That is the sea opening its arms and telling us its love in a warm way.
The joy of harvest brings the freshest and sweetest roe to us,
Cheering and singing,
The fishing boat carrying us will slowly approach,
This most beautiful season..."
