Chapter 424 How similar
...
On the deck of a warship.
"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General Kuzan! Something's happening!"
A marine holding a telescope said anxiously.
"what happened again?"
Kuzan asked, looking up.
"The one on the island, that one is! It is! There is no mistake! There is no doubt! It must be..."
The Marine stammered.
"What on earth do you want to say? Can you please speak clearly, asshole?"
Kuzan cursed.
"Yes, sorry, Lieutenant General! We found the escaped prisoner, Lieutenant General Sauro!"
"Ok?"
“Ah la la la ~ This is really a headache!”
Kuzan rubbed his brows when he heard this.
Damn, this guy Sauro!
Why do you have to appear here when there are so many places to escape to?
...
"fire!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
The warship turned its guns and dense shells flew towards Sauro. He immediately put his hands together to protect little Robin in his hands, but he was unable to dodge and a shell exploded directly on his head.
Fortunately, Sauro had thick skin and the shell only blew off his hat and caused some minor injuries to his forehead.
"Damn it! Looks like the navy has discovered us. Robin, wait here for me. I'll go take care of the warship!"
After putting Robin down, Sauro rushed towards the warship.
"Damn it! What if the shell accidentally hits a child? You bastards!"
“Ahhh! Don’t come over here! Back off! Back off!!”
Seeing the giant rushing towards them with great momentum, the sailors on the deck of the warship fell into panic.
Sauro ran up and hugged the bow of the warship.
"Ahhh, stop it! Lieutenant General Sauro!"
"You were the ones who fired at me first. Since you have chosen to become my enemy, you must be prepared!"
"Stop! Vice Admiral Sauro! You have betrayed the justice of the navy and become O'Hara's accomplice! We must obey orders and fire at you! Whoaaaaaa! You! What are you doing! "
"It doesn't matter whether I'm an accomplice or not. I can no longer tell what justice is! I just want to protect my friends now!! That's all! Don't get in my way!!"
"Drink!!"
The muscles in Sauro's arms swelled, and he used all his strength to lift the entire huge warship!
The navy on the deck fell into the sea like dumplings.
"Boom boom boom!"
Sauro had just destroyed a warship, and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he was drowned by shells fired from two other warships in the sea in the distance!
"Stop it, Sauro! Run away! You'll die if you keep going like this!"
Robin cried.
"Robin! Hurry up! The refugee ship is about to leave! Have you forgotten your mother's last wish?"
Sauro endured the baptism of fire and turned back to shout at Robin.
"Ice Block! (Ice Block, double thorn spear)!"
Sauro, who was about to rush over to destroy the other two warships, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, and then felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His huge body lost balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Sauro!!"
Robin clenched her hands, she didn't understand why O'Hara suddenly became like this. Her mother, Dr. Clover, and everyone in the library were all so kind, why were they killed by the navy?
Isn't the navy dedicated to catching bad guys and upholding justice? Now even her good friend Sauro, whom she had just met for a few days, was going to be killed by the navy. She didn't understand why all this happened?
As Sauro sat up from the ground, he heard a cold voice coming from behind him.
"Ala la la ~ sorry, that's enough! If the Demon Slayer Order is destroyed by the 'former' vice admiral, the navy will become a joke!"
Sauro turned to look at the person who came with a serious expression and spoke angrily.
"Asshole! Look at what the navy is doing? Is this kind of atrocity what the navy should do? Can you still feel honored for such behavior? Kuzan!!"
Kuzan shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity. After all, they have done something illegal. From the perspective of the World Government, isn't it normal to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys? Justice sometimes changes with the change of position, Sauro!"
"Boom!"
Before Kuzan finished speaking, they heard an explosion. They both turned their heads in fear and saw the refuge ship full of civilians engulfed in fire and smoke.
"The refugee ship was attacked! Cannonballs! The cannonballs were fired from Vice Admiral Sakaski's warship!"
A Marine loudly reported the situation.
"That bastard! He actually..."
"Is this what you call justice? Can you still feel at ease after seeing this? Answer me! Kuzan!"
Sauro asked loudly while swinging his huge fist angrily at the opponent.
"I…"
Kuzan's pupils were trembling under his sunglasses. At this moment he was in hesitation and felt a little shaken in his heart.
...
"Hehehe, well done, Spandine (correct)!!"
Captain Gel, who had been hiding in the woods and watching the battle through a telescope, grinned and said with an evil smile.
I waited this long just to ensure that this scene would occur, which would make the future Admiral Aokiji uneasy.
Captain Gill's opinion of these O'Hara scholars has changed a little. Before, he thought that they had no power to resist but were stubborn and insisted on doing meaningless things like fighting against a rock with an egg.
After personally coming into contact with and experiencing the entire incident, Gel suddenly remembered that there seemed to be quite a few people like this in history!
O'Hara scholars are willing to sacrifice their lives for history. Aren't they just like those iron-willed, upright historians who insist on recording the emperor's life truthfully in historical records?
No matter it is good history or bad history, it must be passed on to future generations intactly. They would rather be beheaded by the emperor, have their entire family executed, or have their nine clans exterminated than allow the emperor to use his power to arbitrarily tamper with history!
A generation of emperors suffered in the Silkworm Room, and history will trace back to Longmen for thousands of years.
One is an archaeologist, the other is a small official who records history. Facing the world government that has ruled the world for 800 years and the supreme emperor, they are equally pitifully weak. However, they are willing to risk their lives to pass on a little historical truth that seems insignificant to most people.
How similar?
Although the selfish Captain Gill could not understand or achieve this kind of perseverance and persistence, he still felt that it should be respected.
Furthermore,
During the entire O'Hara incident, the World Government had no original intention to kill ordinary people. Not only did they notify the evacuation in advance, they also sent refugee ships to pick them up. The goal of the Navy's Demon Killing Order was only to destroy O'Hara and a group of scholars. Blowing up the refugee ship was purely Sakaski's personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company. Therefore, it is indeed a bit unfair to put the blame for the killing of civilians directly on these scholars.
(In the original work, when the refugee ship was bombed, whether it was Kuzan, other navy officers, or Spandine and CP agents, everyone was shocked.)
"Hey, let's go!"
"It's Boss Gur!"
