The Value of Living

It was naturally troublesome for one person to kill several thousand people, but it would be much faster if several thousand people fought together.

4,000 people, 2,000 people, 1,000 people, 500 people ...

Each breath is a leap, a symbolic leap of life signs.

The sound of fighting around has become muted, and the battlefield has turned into a real hell, with broken limbs and flesh and blood everywhere, life is as humble as dust at this moment.

During the silence, there was even a low sobbing sound hidden.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault! If I hadn't insisted on doing it, if it hadn't been for so-called dignity, they wouldn't have died at all, all of them, I was the one who brought them to hell, I didn't deserve to be their leader!" Looking at the casualties of the Happo Navy, Kanojao fell weakly to his knees on the ground.

"Chief, you are not entirely to blame for this; I am also to blame for underestimating the enemy and failing in my duty to dissuade you."

"Lupine? You're not dead. You're alive?" Kanojao looked up sharply, surprised to see his side.

"Perhaps the scorching of my soul has preserved a bit of clarity, but that's irrelevant now, we have to find a way to get out of here alive!" Lupine took a deep breath and looked with unwavering eyes at the slowly approaching Apophis.

"Lupine, you go ahead, I'll hold back!"

"It's only right that I should be the one to say this, the Happo Navy can do without me, but never without you, the thirteenth generation pillar!"

"Where do I get the face to be their leader? You are more qualified than me ..."

"Enough of this boring bitterness." Apophis stood in front of the two men, his indifferent gaze dominating.

"Apophis! I'll fight you ... " With new and old hatreds coming together, Kanojao's eyes were gloomy and wanted to pounce at all costs.

"Calm down for me, aren't you sick of the damage your recklessness has caused!" Lupine stepped forward and pinned him down, snapping at the top of his voice.

Kanojao's fidgeting body stiffened abruptly, dropping his head in resignation.

Lupine took all the hatred in his heart and then looked at Apophis with calm eyes, "Apophis-dono, we lost this time, but there is no substantial hatred between you and me. Perhaps we can solve the problem with more peaceful means."

Seeing no reaction from Apophis, Lupine analyzed methodically, "Emotions should not sway a mature pirate, only profit is the eternal truth in the world."

"As for people who died in the war for the Happo Navy, I'll put all the blame on Buffett."

"He invited us to come and help. But in reality, he wanted to combat the power of the Kano Country by annihilating us. He even shifted the blame onto Sir Apophis, thus causing hostility between Sir and us in the Kano Country, to achieve a win-win situation."

Lupine weaved a lie, even sinking himself into it, "Damn Buffett for having such ambitions, if it wasn't for Apophis-dono appearing in time to save us, I'm afraid he would have let his plot get away with it!"

Kanojao looked at Lupine as if he was meeting him for the first time, and you opened your mouth to this shameless crap?

"After this, Apophis-dono will become the highest-ranking VIP of our Kano Country, and even if Apophis-dono wants to practice Busoshoku Haki before entering the New World, Don Chinjao will be your best choice!"

"It's a win-win decision!"

"It's telling me that I'm getting a little excited!" Lupine was happy to hear that, but Apophis' next words were an ice cave, "Unfortunately, I'm not a pirate, and what I'm chasing isn't that boring."

Lupine fixed his mind, still not going to give up, "Whatever Apophis-dono wants, we will try our best to satisfy you. Furthermore, neither Don Kanojao nor I am particularly gifted and are even further behind a genius like Apophis-dono, so Apophis-dono doesn't have to worry at all about the threat we'll pose to you in the future."

"If you can make me feel threatened, I'm quite happy to let you live instead because the thrill of excitement that comes from having someone chasing after you is just wonderful!" Apophis's calm, indifferent voice finally showed a slight rise and fall.

Lupine and Kanojao were both shaken in their hearts. This Apophis was indeed a pervert. What kind of person would crave that feeling of dancing on the tip of a sword?

Also, shouldn't a creature like an enemy be as weak and small as possible? It was crazy and dangerous for him to desire an enemy who could threaten his life, even if a character like Apophis was too wild and dangerous in the eyes of murderous pirates like them!

There were some hidden regrets in Lupine and Kanojao's hearts. If they had known that Apophis was such a desperate madman, they would never have messed with each other.

"And trash, there is no value in living!"

Seeing that Apophis had raised his magic sword above his head, Lupine quickly and urgently threatened, "Don Chinjao is a great pirate with a bounty of over 500 million, if you kill us, he will avenge us!"

"Really? Then you've but given me another reason to have to kill you!"

The remaining sun was like blood, and two bloody heads rolled to the side with reluctant despair.

...

"Quickly ... get ready to go to sea, we can't stay here!" Witnessed how the Happo Navy was annihilated, Capone Bege only felt his legs trembling. That horrible killing is the cruel nature of a person like him to see the gloomy palpitations. He is now afraid to look up and see that mysterious monster standing in front of him.

"Big Boss, but the foundation here ..."

"It's all over here, the great pirate Chinjao isn't the type to be reasonable, and even if Buffett were dead, he'd still be relocating here."

"Where are we going next, Big Boss?"

"The West Blue is still too small, and the Mafia's pattern is too limited." Capone Bege gazed out to sea, "I've decided to go out to sea as a pirate, and when I unify the West Blue, I'll march into the Grand Line!"

...

One day later.

The stillness of the bamboo forest. The breeze blowing.

Suddenly, a strong momentum erupted and overwhelmed the bamboo branch as if it were real.

"Apophis! I have to kill you. I have to kill you!"

"Grandpa, is Dad he's not coming back?"

"It's good that he can't come back, it's good that he can't come back, nearly half of the Happo Navy was annihilated in his hands, he doesn't deserve to be the leader. Even if he dies, he has to give me back the name of the thirteenth generation of pillars!"

"Wu ..."

"Boo, you're so annoying when you cry, and if you're a man, take up the matter, and as for the revenge of your father and the Eight Treasures navy, it will be avenged by my hand!"
