Chapter 1777 The Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea (7)

"Mr. Corazon!"

Luo murmured softly, and Corazon's figure kept appearing in his mind.

That gentle and kind man was willing to sacrifice his life to protect him.

"I have done nothing wrong, Mr. Corazon. I owe nothing to anyone for what I have done!"

Although Luo's voice was not loud, it was full of firmness and determination.

His expression turned serious, as if he was declaring his determination to Zhan Guo.

The scene in the White Town kept flashing through Luo's mind. It was a painful memory that he could never erase.

His parents and sister struggled with illness, but were prevented from going out for medical treatment by the navy, and eventually passed away.

Luo still can't forget that scene. The navy ruthlessly blocked the white town, trapped the people inside, and made them lose hope of survival.

In order to cover up the truth, the World Government ordered the navy to act as executioners and put innocent people to death.

Because of this, Luo was full of hostility towards the navy.

He could not forgive the navy for what they had done, nor could he accept their existence.

When he was young, he resolutely joined the Don Quixote family, the most powerful force in the North Sea except the navy.

Although the Don Quixote family was often besieged by the navy, they dared to confront the navy, which made Luo feel that he had found a place to vent his hatred for the navy.

So Luo was deeply hostile to the navy from the very beginning.

"Don't forget, Rosinante is also a marine. Would he want you to become a pirate?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Luo's heart hard.

When he first learned that Rosinante, the person who had once given him warmth and care, was actually also a member of the navy.

This made Luo feel confused and he began to doubt whether his choice was correct.

However, Luo quickly came back to his senses from his confusion. He closed his eyes tightly and said firmly: "I will not be a navy, especially a navy that serves the World Government as a dog!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if announcing his determination to the whole world.

"presumptuous!"

Zhan Guo roared in anger.

"The Navy is the Navy. How can a scoundrel like you slander the justice it upholds? Do you know that every year countless brave and fearless sailors sacrifice their lives heroically to protect this vast ocean?"

However, in the face of Zhan Guo's angry rebuke, Luo did not show any intention of backing down.

He sneered and retorted mercilessly, "Haha, justice? Your so-called justice is to blockade the white towns and let tens of thousands of people die tragically from lead poisoning? Is this your navy's justice?"

Luo's question was like a sharp sword, piercing Zhan Guo's heart.

Zhan Guo's expression instantly became extremely gloomy. His face, which had originally turned red with anger, now became stiff with shock.

Zhan Guo suddenly realized that Luo's identity was extraordinary.

He remembered Luo's origins - a survivor of the White Town.

This fact made Zhan Guo suddenly realize, and he finally understood why Luo was so hostile to the navy and so hostile to him.

In an instant, Zhan Guo seemed to have lost all his strength and became decadent.

Because it was he himself who ordered the blockade of White Town.

He had to issue this order due to pressure from the Five Elders.

Zhan Guo was silent, as if time had stopped at this moment.

He held the Den Den Mushi tightly in his hand, and Luo on the opposite side was also silent. The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one spoke first.

Zhan Guo's brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was like a turmoil.

The truth of what he just learned shocked him, and at the same time, it also made him feel unprecedentedly shaken in his belief in the justice he had always upheld.

He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Luo's.

There was a deep pain and despair in Law's eyes, which was the unbearable look back at the past and the hatred towards the World Government and the Navy.

Zhan Guo looked at Luo, and the guilt in his heart surged like a tide.

He thought of the blockaded white town and those innocent people.

If he had not issued the order to cooperate with the World Government to blockade the White Town, those people might have received timely treatment and Luo would not have suffered from lead poisoning.

And all this seemed to be due to his decision.

This decision not only changed Luo's life trajectory, but also made him lose so much.

Because of his hatred for the World Government and the Navy, Law resolutely joined the Don Quixote family and embarked on a path that went against justice.

Zhan Guo's heart was filled with regret. If it weren't for his mistake back then, Luo might not have met Luo Xinanti, and the series of tragedies that followed would not have happened.

In order to redeem the mistakes he made in the past, Rosinante even risked his life to give Luo a chance of survival.

All of this made Zhan Guo feel deeply guilty.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. The guilt in his heart made it difficult for him to breathe.

And the expression of Warring States was also transmitted exactly to Luo's eyes through Den Den Mushi.

Zhan Guo's face was full of worry, his brows were furrowed, as if he was shrouded in a heavy pressure.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Looking at Zhan Guo's appearance, Luo couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

On the one hand, he felt somewhat relieved about Zhan Guo's self-blame. After all, as the naval marshal, Zhan Guo had never been able to bring him to justice. Now seeing Zhan Guo feeling so guilty because of his words, it was somewhat of a revenge.

However, this refreshing feeling was fleeting, and was replaced by a feeling of discomfort.

Luo realized that no matter how much Zhan Guo blamed himself, he could not change the facts that had already happened.

His loved ones are gone, and no amount of apologies or self-blame can bring them back.

"Okay, stop pretending. The person is already dead. There's nothing wrong with me now except that I want to kill Doflamingo. I don't need your pity!"

Law suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see Doflamingo's figure through the endless clouds.

His voice was cold and decisive, with a hint of uncontrollable anger.

When Zhan Guo heard Luo's words, his self-blame became stronger.

He certainly knew why Law hated Doflamingo so much, it was because Doflamingo killed Rosinante, who was Sengoku's adopted son.

As Rossinandi's adoptive father, Zhan Guo has been restricted by his identity over the years.

He is the Admiral of the Navy, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace, and cannot easily take action against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
