Listening to the words from Nami's mouth, Gawain was completely stunned.
He blinked and carefully examined the little girl in front of him.
Isn't this guy in the shell of a little girl a wise old man?
It’s not like Nami can say such words!
In other words, Nami’s character should have opened her eyes to money, but she shouldn’t have gone back and discussed the origin of the money...
However, after taking a closer look at the pain in little Nami's eyes, Gawain somewhat understood Nami's mood.
After all, Nami still has the burden of 100 million beli on her shoulders.
Even in the original work, when Luffy didn't defeat Arlong, Nami still liked to sit alone in the distance and watch the sunset.
At that time, she might have felt that no matter how well she played with Luffy and the others, she would have to leave sooner or later...
Because at that time, Nami felt that Luffy could never be Arlong's opponent!
But at this moment, the reason why Nami expressed her feelings directly to herself...
Gawain felt that Nami should now think that Aaron would definitely not be her opponent...
Nami hid her pain and sentimentality towards those whom Nami considered weak, and tried not to talk about those things.
But what Nami considers to be a strong person is when she faces Gawain.
Nami probably has a lot of complaints in her heart, which is why you didn't come earlier.
At the same time, she still has at least three grievances, that is, the grievance of why we can't live as easily as you...
Thinking of this, Gawain sighed softly.
Then, Gawain approached Nami who lowered her head.
Facing Nami's melancholy eyes, he raised his right hand and slowly placed it on Nami's head.
Looking at Gawain's outstretched hand, the melancholy little Nami wanted to dodge, but when she instinctively made a half-dodge move, I don't know what she thought of. She restrained her instinct and stopped where she was.
Gawain rua rua her hair.
While feeling the gentle hand on top of her head, Nami lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"Although I have never met a Tianlong, you... you are really too gentle, right?
So, do you treat everyone you meet for the first time like this, or are my sister and I special?
If it's the former, uncle, can you be more gentle, for example, do me a small favor, that is, let a group of fishmen see the power of human beings?
And if it's the latter, then...
Then can I give you more in exchange for you lending a helping hand to us?"
Nami raised her hand, grabbed Gawain's wrist, took Gawain's hand off her head, and moved it towards her shoulder and chest tremblingly.
At this moment, Nami's body was trembling, but her eyes were particularly firm. She stared hard at Gawain's eyes, trying to see something through Gawain's eyes.
And Gawain…….
He gently freed his hand from Nami's control, and then patted little Nami's head again.
"What are you thinking about, little girl, you are not yet under age!"
After the words fell, Gawain twisted Nami's hair into a mess, and then he squatted in front of Nami.
He took out a cigarette with his hand, Gawain rubbed the lightning with his fingers, lit the cigarette, and then said.
"You little girl, you have been tortured by the existence of pirates for a long time, right, so much so that you have begun to think about philosophy...
It's really terrible, your appearance is so foul that I began to feel that it would have been better if I had come earlier.
Anyway, Nami.
With your intelligence, even if I say that I treat everyone the same as I treat you, you won't believe it easily.
So, we might as well be more honest.
I need a flexible and professional navigator!"
Having said this, Gawain saw a hint of relief in Nami's sad eyes, and then a little bit of pride and excitement.
It seemed that Nami really felt relieved after receiving such an answer.
Seeing Nami's relieved look, Gawain continued to talk to her with a smile.
"There is actually no shortage of navigators under my command, but they are just navigators...
Can you understand the difference? Compared with you, they really lack some agility, and even less creativity and imagination.
Logically speaking, the career of a navigator should require sufficient rigor.
But the reality is just the opposite. The celestial phenomena of the Great Line and the New World are a challenge to every navigator. The celestial phenomena there are too loose!
Therefore, if you want to be an excellent navigator on the great sea route, that navigator must have enough imagination.
She must at least have the imagination to imagine frog rain, candy hail, marshmallow monsoon, etc... unreliable celestial phenomena...
Anyway…”
Having said this, Gawain waved to Nami, gesturing for Nami to come closer to him.
Seeing this, Nami pursed her lips and carefully took two steps forward. She put her small palm on Gawain's raised big hand.
Gently holding Nami's little hand, Gawain showed a smile and said softly with a smile.
"Anyway, are you willing to be my navigator?
Although you are still very young, I understand your abilities and even better understand your potential. Isn’t youth equal to potential?
On the one hand, I walked all the way from Mariejoia and cleared out all the pirates in the territory I passed. The Aaron group that troubled you was also within the scope of the clearing.
On the other hand..."
Having said this, Gawain couldn't help but pause for a moment. He looked at the girl in front of him lovingly and sighed melancholy.
Listening to Gawain's sigh, Nami was a little unbelievable. That high-spirited Lord Celestial Dragon was sighing?
But why?
Opposite her, after sighing, Gawain gently pulled the little girl's palm.
"On the other hand, Nami...
I'm really sorry, I seem to be late.
But no matter what, now that I'm here.
Then, let me take off the burden that has been weighing on you and Cocosia Village, and let Aaron go to the hell he deserves to go to."
At this moment, Nami, who was being held by Gawain, opened her lips slightly. She slurped a few times, but couldn't say what she wanted to say.
But there were big tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to cry and she cried, but she didn't want Gawain to see her crying.
So she quickly raised her hand that was not held by Gawain, intending to wipe away her tears, but just before she reached out, Gawain reached out to the corner of her eyes, held her face, and used his thumb to wipe away her tears.
The tears were wiped away.
After wiping away the little girl's tears, Gawain gently held the trembling little girl in his arms.
Gawain patted the little girl's trembling back and said softly.
"Cry if you want to, it will be much easier if you cry happily once, right?
I'm late, sorry for making you suffer.
I know what you have been through these years. You have had to shoulder the responsibility of the entire village since you were ten years old. It is really going to crush you.
Thank you for your hard work, Nami."
Accompanied by Gawain's gentle voice, Nami lay in Gawain's arms, no longer having the strength to speak.
At least at this moment, Nami really didn't think about any money-related issues.
She just quietly hugged Gawain's strong body and hid her head sideways on Gawain's chest, where Gawain would not see her face.
She just cried silently while listening to Gawain's heartbeat, silently recalling every word Gawain said to her.
As time passed, the warmth between Gawain and Nami was spreading. Nami seemed to regard Gawain as a father she had never seen before, trying to vent all her grievances to him.
Unexpectedly, not long after, footsteps suddenly stopped at the kitchen door in the distance.
Nuo Qigao has already made orange tea, and she is picking up the tea with a smile, planning to show it to the two unusual guests, Gawain and Yixiao.
But when she walked through the kitchen and discovered what was happening in the living room...
When she saw her sister, her face full of tears and grievances, hanging in Gawain's arms painfully and unwillingly...
Duang!
!
There was a crisp sound, which was the sound of the teapot in Nuo Qigao's hand falling to the ground.
A little bit of the hot tea splashed onto Nokigao's calf, but Nokigao only trembled slightly, and she didn't even feel like crying out in pain!
Looking at Gawain, Nokigao's tears fell in an instant!
"Obviously...obviously I can do anything, obviously I do well.
As long as you can let my family go, I can always pretend to be innocent and hand over everything I have, including myself.
But...but...why can't I protect my family even if this is the case?
Is this your nature, Lord Celestial Dragon?"
Having said this, Nuo Qigao fell to the ground helplessly, she no longer had the strength to cheer up.
She wanted to see Bellemere...
…
…
…
On the other hand, outside the port in the north of Cocosia Village, Rayleigh took Jinbei and walked towards the building about two kilometers away with square steps.
As he walked, Jinbei frowned tightly.
"Brother Lei Li, you and I both value Aaron so much.
Obviously anyone can do this kind of thing like exploring the road, but in the end, even the adults, you, and Brother Yixiao came over!"
After finishing his words, Jinbei sighed leisurely. He really couldn't control the life of his little brother Aaron!
On the side, listening to Jinbei's words, Leili thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Before coming, the captain also chatted with us.
The reason why they came early was because Lu Qi's pigeon and Bell's hawk both said that Aaron and his group might escape.
Although they certainly can't run away, if they are allowed to hide under the sea, it will not be easy for the captain to fulfill the prophecy!
Or, even if the captain and we all have plans to use Aaron to break the prophecy and destiny, we don't want this prophecy to be broken by Aaron's escape, right?
At most, someone else can kill Aaron and let the prophecy go aside."
As he spoke, Rayleigh looked at Jinbei with deep meaning. He knew that Aaron was Jinbei's brother.
Rayleigh continued to speak.
"After all, we have seen the situation along the way.
Including Cocosia Village, a total of nineteen small islands nearby and the villages above have all become Aaron's private territory!
In these villages, Aaron had committed many crimes.
A simple calculation shows that at least tens of thousands of innocent human lives were lost under his hands."
After speaking, Rayleigh patted Jinbei's waist.
"Even if he killed the navy, the captain and I would not be so angry. Soldiers kill thieves, and thieves kill soldiers. This is the law of nature.
But dealing with civilians... ugh.
Did you know that my lifelong regret is that I supported Captain Roger's plan, and the era of pirates he set off brought extraordinary suffering to the common people all over the world!
Because of this, now, I will not miss any opportunity to make amends!
That brother of yours, Aaron... just pretend he doesn’t exist!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh strode forward, and Jinbei patted his chest hard.
"Don't worry, brother Lei Li, Aaron doesn't need you to take action like in the prophecy, I can kill him for you!
Even if Brother Tiger hates humans, there is no way he would do such a damn thing as Aaron!
Aaron has gone too far on the evil path, and at this point, he must die!
But like I said, I don't think every fish-man he took away back then was the executioner he is now.
In my impression, there are several murlocs who follow Aaron, and they are simply incapable of doing such a thing!
Anyway, brother Lei Li, please help me say a few words in front of adults.
I just ask that while you kill the people who deserve to die, you can also spare a few people who deserve to live!
Along the way from Fish-Man Island, we have experienced quite a few killing fields. I have always felt that the adults killed them too thoroughly, which is a bit extreme!
Killing is inevitable, but we should kill more clearly, more clearly, and more calmly!
All in all, I stand by my brother on this point.
Now that we have tens of thousands of people, we have the ability to do more investigations, so that every person who deserves to die deserves to die, and at the same time, every person who does not deserve to die can get the redemption he deserves!
!”
Having said this, Jinbe frowned and looked at Rayleigh seriously!
Facing Jinbei's eyes, Rayleigh thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"What brother Yixiao said makes sense, but what the captain did also makes sense. From the captain's point of view, killing more thoroughly can eliminate the chance of evildoers.
From Yixiao's point of view, killing is more clear, letting outsiders know that being a good person can survive, which can increase the possibility of outsiders being good.
There are benefits to both, it just depends on the situation they are in.
Anyway, this time, I will say something for you."
After saying that, Rayleigh gave Jinbei a reassuring look, and then he looked into the distance.
He raised his hand and pointed at the sign in the distance.
"Evil Dragon Park, haha, it looks like we have arrived at our destination.
Tsk tsk, there really isn’t a single human being at all. This Aaron’s Dragon Park is actually more pure than Fish-Man Island.
There are humans on Fishman Island, as well as fishmen and mermaids.
And here, not only are there no humans, there are not even fish-men here!”
Speaking of this, Rayleigh pushed Jinbei.
"You kid, go and see your old friends. I won't go in yet.
Even if it is a pig, as long as we have had friendship with it, we must say a few words before killing it.
However, let them not think about escaping and just accept their fate.
I’m standing here, and as long as the people who plan to escape are not the Four Emperors or Generals, then none of them will be able to escape!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh sneered and sat on a tree stump, placing his staff and sword on his knees.
As for Jinbe, after listening to Rayleigh's words, he nodded heavily.
"Brother Lei Li, just sit here and let me go over and have a good chat with them!"
After Jinbei finished speaking, he walked slowly towards the Dragon Park with heavy steps.
…
In the Dragon Park, the fish-man sailors who were responsible for patrolling the outer area no longer wanted to patrol.
Thirty or fifty of them gathered together, sighing worriedly, and talking about things they were interested in.
"Hey, it seems we have to move. What a pity. Apparently the crops here have only grown twice."
"Yes, it's not easy to live on land, and we can also raise those humans who treat us as slaves as slaves!
No anti-theft
As a result, in the blink of an eye, this base will be abandoned and fled to other corners..."
"Stop talking about this, there's nothing we can do about it, Brother Aaron. Although we are fish-men, and although we are naturally stronger than humans, we should not forget that that trash Tianlong man also has fish-men under his command!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Jinbei is under that man's hands. Of course those humans are rubbish, but with Brother Jinbei here, we will never escape..."
"Damn it, how long has it been and you still call him Brother Jinbei?
The person who leads us to kill humans and avenge Boss Tiger is our Brother Aaron!"
"That's right, Brother Aaron is still upright. This bastard Jinbe first became a Shichibukai to work as a dog for the World Government, and then he became a cadre of the Black Bird to work as a dog for the Tianlong people."
"Yes, a guy like him who always acts like a dog has no right to be called Big Brother!"
