MTL - One Piece: The Long Road-Chapter 11 Narrative...and Choice

"If my physical strength can recover quickly, then I will have the extra time that others don't have to train myself, and as long as I can persevere at that time, I will be strong enough that I don't need to stand behind Siby anymore. It's just that I don't have a concept of the recovery time of the injury, so I can only explore it slowly in the future." As soon as Wang Li came into contact with this magical power of fruit, he fell into contemplation. In his small head, all thoughts of becoming stronger .

Looking at Wang Li in deep thought, Kunke took out another cigarette from nowhere, put it in his mouth and inhaled it. The smoke he exhaled covered his dark face, the Snod family, 700 years. The former powerful family, but if I remember correctly, the Snod family was prosperous in the great waterway with the extraordinary fighting power of their family. Because they were too arrogant, they provoked the Tianlong people, but they disappeared after a few decades and faded out. People's eyes, huh, are just brute force. The Tianlong people are an indispensable force established by the government. But I didn't expect that 700 years later, the descendants of Snod will come to this small island. Is it fate or a deliberate arrival... So, believe in Sibe's vision.

"Sibby, I have something to tell you,"

Kunke put the cigarette holder on the table, as if recalling something, and lowered his head slowly.

"Oh!" Siby responded, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, and he realized that what Kunke was about to say at this time might be a very important thing.

Kunke thought about it for a long time, but didn't know where to start. He touched his chin and said in deep thought, "Actually, the pirate attack on our Xibei Village two years ago was not accidental." Kunke After a pause, he glanced at Sibe's face, and found that his expression remained unchanged, and then continued, "It was planned to disguise as a merchant ship and attacked. The reason for this is to hide the government's eyes and ears, but Because of this, the power of this pirate group was not at its heyday at that time, and your father was also killed in this attack, hehe." Kunke smiled self-deprecatingly when he said this.

"The comfortable life in Xibei Village for many years not only has our own fetters here, but also greatly reduces our vigilance. Therefore, in the face of this extraordinary attack, we will suffer heavy losses."

Kunke sighed heavily, and his thick voice resumed.

"And your father is not a simple person. In our group, he is one of the strongest combatants, but the reason why he died is because of you and your mother, Sibe." Said Kunke, who arrived here, stared at Sibe seriously.

Kunke's ruthless words caused Sibe's sapphire-like eyes to fluctuate, and his heart was like a turbulent wave, mercilessly submerging himself, making himself unable to resist, unable to breathe.

When Kunke started talking, Wang Li had long since recovered from his contemplation. At this time, he noticed the strangeness of Xibei. His small and warm hand tightly held Xibei's hand, as if he was conveying something. similar.

Seeing Wang Li's concerned eyes, Sibe shook his head for a while. Maybe, I really killed my father, but this is an irreversible fact. If I continue to blame myself for this, my father will not forgive me. My, Siby's little face suddenly flashed a firm look.

Kunke, who took all this in his eyes, smiled lightly and continued, "Sibby, you don't have to blame yourself, you know that when you were born, your father was as happy as a child. Your father and our This group of people is different, he has a broad mind that we are far from, so Sibe, when I tell you everything, I will not restrict your freedom, and I hope you do not Because of my father, I made a choice that went against my inner thoughts."

Seeing Sibe who nodded, Kunke laughed humbly and continued the narration.

"Except for me and the old guy Hede, not only your father, but also most of the people are fettered here, and the temporary response can't transfer family members, so they are restrained everywhere in the battle, so that most people want to Protecting his family, he died under the attacking pirates."

"Alas." Kunke sighed, "If Siri didn't happen to go out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to let go of the fight. The pirates who came here are not ordinary pirates. Taking into account the existence, I am afraid that Xibei Village has long since ceased to exist."

"But despite the full-strength battle between me and Hede, the loss of Xibei Village is still unbearable for us. All our former partners have become memories and lost their lives under this pirate attack." The proud face of Kunke here, "But even if he can't let go of the fight, his combat power will still hit the pirates hard, but..."

Kunke's face was gloomy, "The main character of this pirate group escaped from me and Heder, I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will make a comeback again. On this small island, there is something he must get. The thing, fortunately, in this battle, there are only a few people left in the pirate group, and he is the only backbone left, so there is no serious problem in a short period of time."

"But now the fighting strength of Xibei Village is not as good as it used to be. He De was seriously injured in that battle. In addition to the erosion brought by time, it is not as good as before. Although I am still in the heyday, I am invincible against all hands. , the next attack, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, Kunke looked at Sibe who was listening seriously, with a serious look on his face.

"What I'm going to say now is about the secrets of our family. We have been waiting for an appropriate time to tell you about this, and the time has come. Now, you can choose to listen or not."

Hearing this, Sibby nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Sibi nodding, Kunke cleared his dry throat and began to speak slowly.

"My family existed as early as 800 years ago, and I don't know how many places have been changed to this day, but there is a purpose that has not changed, that is to guard a magic weapon on the back mountain, for this purpose , has continued to this day.”

"It's just that in our generation, some people began to question the clan training, why can only guard this magic weapon and can't use it, why does clan training only say guard this magic weapon until death, but did not say why to guard it, and That man is your father, Siby."

"Hehe, your father said at the time, if we risk our lives to protect this magic weapon and lose our lives for this magic weapon, then what's the point of protecting it? One day, when we are all gone, who will protect it? What about the magic weapon? Why don't you use the power of the magic weapon to protect the magic weapon?"

"Now that I think about it, what your father said is very reasonable, but how can we violate the clan's motto of our clan? Although we don't know why we can only protect the magic weapon and not use the magic weapon, we still insist on abiding by it. Clan training, until the strength of the clan gradually weakened, and they fell to this small island and settled here, and this magical soldier was on the back mountain at this time."

"The reason why you are not allowed to enter the back mountain is because the power radiated by the magic weapon not only changes the surrounding beasts and the environment, but it is also unbearable for you at this time. , and this magic weapon was also the purpose of attacking the pirates back then."

At this time, Kunke's big bull-eyed eyes showed a cold suffocating aura. Fortunately, it was not aimed at Wang Li and Xibei, otherwise the two would have fainted long ago.

"The pirate who can know this secret is not an ordinary pirate, so I asserted with Heder that although this pirate was repelled by us, he would never give up, but he didn't know when he would Attack again."

"I'm done, then, what's your choice, Sibe..." Kunke lit another cigarette and started smoking. I don't know how many years it has been, but he actually smoked three cigarettes in just one hour. .

Siby, who listened to Kunke's words, lowered her head, but raised her head after a while, a pair of sapphire eyes with a firmness that she had never had before, two small hands slammed on the table, stood up, He shouted excitedly, "Uncle Kunke, please train me, I must become stronger, I want to protect Xibei Village."

Wang Li looked at Xibe seriously, and not to be outdone, he also asked Kunke, "Uncle Kunke, I also want to become stronger. I have an existence that I want to protect. Please train me together."

"Oh... so, two little devils" Kunke's mouth was slightly raised, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Then you two should be self-conscious, haha!"

The heroic laughter reached Heder's ears far away, which made Heder smile with relief.

Maybe... in our generation, the guardian gods are no longer the most important thing. A dead thing will never be as important as the existence that you want to protect.

This era...is the era of your youth...
