"You lied! That's not even funny!"

After hearing the news, Ace's first reaction was to rush forward to beat the pirate.

He doesn't believe it!

He doesn't believe it's true!

The pirate didn't fight back: "It's neither a joke, nor a lie, this... This is also very sudden for me... I even doubt these eyes! I also said that I was dreaming or seeing a hallucination!" The pirate pushed Ace away, let Ace calm down and listened to him first: "Sabo was taken back by the noble parents, is that what Luffy said? To us, there are places that we don't want to go back! If that guy was really happy in the capital, why would he go to the sea?! Why would anyone hang a pirate flag and go out to sea alone!!"

Luffy was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he fell to his knees: "Sa... Is Sabo not happy?"

Ace ruffled his hair wildly: "Why? Why didn't we go and get him back?!"

Two children, mistakenly thinking that Sabo can be happy as long as he returns to his parents.

So he endured the pain of separation for a while and didn't go looking for Sabo.

Now both of them are remorseful.

Ace rushed over again and grabbed the pirate's collar: "Where is the guy who killed Sabo?!! I'm going to kill him!! I want to avenge Sabo!!"

After saying that, Ace picked up his weapon and rushed out the door.

Unfortunately, Curly Dadan took the lead in rushing forward and smashed his head to the ground, even smashing the floor: "Stinky boy! Why don't you stop?!"

"Go away! Asshole!"

"Even if you don't even have the strength, you're just very arrogant! What can you do?! You will only die! If you die, you will be forgotten! You are no one!!"

"This country killed Sabo!! This world!! What can you do?!!"

"Your father changed the world with his death! When you become a man of that level, you can die or live as you please!! Quick! Help me tie up this idiot!"

The bandits teamed up to clean up Ace.

The scene was very chaotic.

And the whole process, Luffy is in a unique state. It was noisy around, but he felt very quiet inside. No matter what the people around him are saying or doing, he can't feel it.

Empty eyes.

His mind went blank.

He fell on his knees motionless.

"Why...why...why do the people around me die one by one..."

Li Yaoxiang: "Because you are useless."

"I am useless?"

"Yes. If you're strong enough, nothing before will happen. If you're strong enough, Sabo won't be taken in the first place. He wouldn't have been killed. Everything is your fault. You killed Sabo and killed your mother."

"So... so... it's all my fault... Yes, it's my fault... If I wasn't strong enough to protect them, they wouldn't have died... Sabo and my mother were both killed by me..." 68%

Time passed second by second.

Luffy still knelt there, motionless.

I don't know how long it took.

He suddenly started muttering to himself.

"Revenge... Revenge... I want revenge... I want revenge!!! Big brother! Lend me a weapon! I want avenge Sabo! I want to kill them!! I want to kill them all!!"

The original communication of consciousness suddenly turned into yelling in reality.

Luffy's eyes turned red!

Ferocious!

Madness!

Roaring into the surrounding air non-stop!

The sudden scene immediately stunned everyone present. Even Ace, who was still in a state of madness, was also silent.

Li Yaoxiang: "I won't help you."

"Why?! Why!! Big Brother! Why!! Why don't you help me! I want revenge! I want revenge for Sabo!!"

Li Yaoxiang: "As I said, from now on, you can only rely on yourself. I will not help you again."

"I don't need your help! You lend me a weapon! You just lend me a weapon! I'm going to kill them! Kill them all!"

"Luffy..." Ace, who was crushed to the ground, couldn't help but murmured in pain.

Curly Dadan, who woke up, immediately shouted: "Quick! Quickly suppress him!"

A group of pirates who had suppressed Ace, change their targets, and rushed towards Luffy, crushing Luffy to death.

Ace looked at Luffy with a guilty look but didn't move.

But even so, Luffy's emotions still haven't calmed down.

Having experienced the death of a relative, he is far more emotional than in the original book!

Crazy even more!

Even his teeth were bitten with blood.

Curly Dadan quickly discouraged: "Luffy! Wake up! Wake up! It's not your fault! Calm down! Calm down first!"

"It's my fault! It's all my fault! It's because I'm not strong enough! That's why Sabo died! I killed him, I killed him!" "No! It's not your fault! Calm down! Luffy, calm down for me!"

Luffy was crushed to death by a group of bandits.

Even with all his strength, he couldn't move.

When he could not resist with the last ounce of strength, his faith collapsed instantly. Hatred cannot give him more power. Finally, he couldn't hold back his emotions and was completely broken.

Tears flowed.

He cried his heart out.

Seeing this, everyone present was also infected by Luffy's painful appearance and shed tears.

On this day, everyone in Dadan's family was in grief.

…

Time flies, time flies.

Another good day passed.

Luffy, who has always been lively and cheerful, has changed a lot during this time.

Eat less, drink less, smile less.

Everyone knows that he has not yet come out of his grief.

Today, he and Ace came to the cliff and looked at the distant sea together.

Ace, who was also silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "Is the marine you want to be?"

Luffy moved in his heart, bit his lower lip, and didn't answer.

"Sabo was killed by what you call the Marine."

"…"

"If you become that kind of marine in the future, then I will definitely kill you with my own hands..."

After saying that, Ace turned around and left.

Leaving Luffy alone to watch the slowly setting sun.

Luffy bit his red lips, and the tears couldn't help flowing again: "Why...why is this... shouldn't the marine only deal with bad guys..."

His faith began to waver.

He is very complicated inside.

He couldn't tell who was good and who was bad.

His idea of becoming a marine, is it necessary to persist?

I don't know how long it took.

The tears on his face are dry.

Luffy suddenly wiped away his tears, stood up, regained his energy and said, "Big brother, I want to become stronger!"

Li Yaoxiang did not respond.

"Teach me to be strong!"

No respond, but there was an air door in front of Luffy.

Luffy looked happy, smiled knowingly, and stepped into the air door without hesitation...
