Chapter 204 Follow-up
Yes, the war is over~
Warring States looked pleased as he watched the navy officers and soldiers cleaning the battlefield pass in front of him one by one.
And when he saw the miserable corpses being carried away one after another, his eyes showed deep sadness, and he suddenly felt heartache like a knife...
After some time, the list of survivors was reported...
In this battle, about 40% of the navy's ordinary soldiers were killed!
More than a dozen officers at the rank of major general were killed, and four vice-admirals were killed!
The rest of the supplies, ordnance, and warships suffered countless losses...
"Alas..." Warring States sighed with a heavy face.
"Sengoku...don't think too much..." Garp came over, put his right hand on Sengoku's shoulder, and said in a deep voice with the same sad face.
"It's already very good. Just because we people resist the attack of the entire Rocks pirate group, even if all of them die in battle, we are already psychologically prepared, aren't we?"
Hearing Garp's words, Sengoku's face finally softened a little.
"yes……"
"I only hope that after this war, the world situation can be more stable, and the navy can also get some time to recuperate..."
"With that boy here, we don't have to worry about the development of our navy for at least the next fifty years~" Garp looked at Aizen in the distance with complicated eyes and said with emotion.
"Yeah~" Sengoku looked at Aizen from a distance, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
………………
"Hey, it hurts!" Porusalino yelled with a grin on his face, while the female military doctor who bandaged him looked helpless and could only pretend not to hear and continue to bandage.
Sakaski, who was on the side, heard Porusalino's howls, and his face suddenly felt hot! (smellful)
Dolag, on the other hand, simply ignored the noisy Porusalino, lying on the ground in a mess, letting the doctor sterilize and operate his body, his eyes looking at the sky, his mind completely empty~
………………
At this time, Aizen didn't stay with everyone, but sat quietly on a boulder on the shore, with Zefa sleeping deeply on his lap.
Aizen's hand exuded a light green light and was attached to Zefa's chest, healing Zefa's injuries little by little.
And at this moment, a call came from a distance,
"Brother Aizen~"
"Big brother~"
Mihawk looked around anxiously, looking for Aizen.
After the war began, Mihawk kept Aizen's teachings in mind and stayed at the periphery of the battlefield, and did not follow the navy on the warship to shrink the encirclement.
However, fortunately, he didn't follow, otherwise, the aftermath of the strong men's battle would be enough to threaten his life.
Seeing Mihawk running around, the corners of Aizen's mouth raised unconsciously. Then, he stretched out his right hand, and a dazzling white light appeared from the tip of his index finger.
"rush!"
huh~
The spiritual bullet shot out quickly, drawing an arc in the air, and finally hit Mihawk's head~
Mihawk screamed in pain, and then looked in the direction of the "hidden weapon" angrily, and then saw Aizen with a smile on his face.
"Brother!" Mihawk suddenly had a bright smile on his face, and then ran towards Aizen.
Aizen silently used his spiritual power to condense two earplug-like objects. After blocking Zefa's ears, he gently laid Zefa's body flat on the ground.
Then, he stood up and hugged Mihawk who was running over.
"Brother!" Mihawk buried his head directly in Aizen's arms, sucking in the familiar smell and shouted with a trembling voice.
"Hey..." Aizen hugged Mihawk hard, and the hand holding Mihawk's back trembled a little.
There was no sensational dialogue, let alone crying deeply, the two just hugged each other tightly...
"It's okay..." Aizen said softly, hugging Mihawk tightly.
"Yeah!" Mihawk nodded heavily, his eyes a little red. Although Mihawk is no longer weak at this time, in front of Aizen, he still lacks the maturity, coldness and stability of "Hawkeye" in the original work...
Aizen took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became empty as he looked into the distance.
The moment he saw Mihawk, Aizen's heart finally dropped.
………………
Roger bared his teeth, lifted his badly damaged right arm with his left hand, and staggered towards the Oro Jackson.
Rayleigh stood on the shore, looking at the seriously injured Roger with complicated eyes.
The moment he saw Raleigh, Roger looked embarrassed and shouted loudly: "Yo! Raleigh~ have you been waiting for me?"
"Ah ha ha ha ha! I knew you wouldn't abandon me and go away~" Roger burst out laughing.
Seeing Roger's careless look, Rayleigh also smiled helplessly, "It's time to set off, Captain~"
"How could the Roger Pirates not have Roger..."
Hearing this, Roger's eyes were slightly rosy, and the moment he walked to Lei Li's side, he whispered: "I'm sorry, Lei Li, for making you worry..."
But after hearing this, Rayleigh's face suddenly darkened, he slowly turned his head, stared into Roger's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since you know that everyone will be worried about your safety, then why don't you let Are we going to war?"
Hearing this, Roger opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a while, looked seriously into Rayleigh's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Rayleigh... this is my own choice, and it is also my personal decision. This matter I have no way of predicting the consequences and dangers, so I can’t bring you into the pit of fire..."
Hearing this, Rayleigh fell silent.
After a long while, Lei Li said slowly, "Then why did you invite me to your boat?"
Hearing this, Roger was stunned, and then slowly lowered his head.
Bang!
Rayleigh punched hard, and the heavy punch knocked Roger's body away.
"When you tricked me into boarding the boat, you should have thought that something like today would happen." Raleigh roared in a low voice.
"From the moment I boarded the ship, from the moment I became the deputy captain of the Roger Pirates, we have been partners in weal and woe, haven't we?"
"So, what's going on with you now?!"
"We regard you as the captain! What about you?!" Rayleigh roared with bloodshot eyes.
Rayleigh's words were like sharp knives, deeply inserted into Roger's heart.
After roaring, Rayleigh gasped heavily, his chest heaved greatly, and he stared fixedly at Roger who was lying on the ground.
"Rayleigh..." Roger's face swelled directly under Rayleigh's punch, and his words were somewhat hesitant.
Roger, who wanted to explain something more, suddenly caught a glimpse of the heads popping up on the edge of the boat, with their worried eyes...
Roger stopped talking.
He understood that all his partners had been watching him, watching this war, watching him suffer heavy losses, watching him face a desperate situation, watching helplessly...
And all this was only because of the captain's order given by him before leaving, regardless of the objections of everyone on board - to stay on the ship and not to participate in the battle...
"Smith Massey (sorry)... Rayleigh..."
"Smith Marseille (sorry)...Mina (everyone)..."
Roger closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, with a tear slowly falling from the corner of his eye.
After hearing Roger's words, the anger on Rayleigh's face gradually disappeared...
"Asshole..." Riley said in a low voice.
"What a bastard captain!"
Reilly pulled Roger up and carried him on his back.
The moment Rayleigh stepped onto the deck with Roger on his back, the crew members of the Roger Pirates suddenly appeared and surrounded him instantly.
Roger looked at these familiar faces and felt even more guilty. He said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, everyone, for making you worry..."
After hearing Roger's words, everyone present fell silent.
Suddenly, a short figure with red hair struggled to open his legs one after another, and after all the hardships, he came to Roger.
Shanks, who finally squeezed in, saw Roger's eyes turned red the moment he saw him.
"Captain!" Shanks shouted tremblingly, hugging Roger's thigh.
And just when Jabba wanted to pull Shanks away, Shanks raised his head, wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand, a bright smile filled his face,
"Welcome back, Captain!"
