Chapter 300: Bucky in tears
The moment he saw the knife, Bucky couldn't help but shudder. His body seemed to be struck by a strong electric current and instantly became numb.
His eyes widened instantly, like bright fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, and his pupils contracted rapidly, like a bottomless black hole that was about to swallow up everything around him.
His body seemed to be under a spell, standing motionless in the same place, and his feet seemed to have taken root, deeply digging into the ground.
Every muscle of his was tense, like a fully drawn bow that could break at any moment.
He was too familiar with that knife. The unique pattern on the scabbard was like an ancient totem, telling the vicissitudes and legends of the years.
He had seen it countless times beside Roger. The knife was like a part of Roger's body, inseparable from him. It witnessed every battle, every victory, and every glory of Roger.
It was the symbol of Roger's battles on the sea, the embodiment of courage and strength. The cold light flashing on the blade seemed to still retain Roger's former dominance and pride, which made Buggy feel indescribably excited and emotional.
Bucky's lips trembled slightly, like a leaf drifting in the autumn wind, so helpless and fragile. He swallowed hard, as if a huge stone was stuck in his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
His eyes never left the knife, as if as soon as he looked away, all this would disappear like a dream.
After a long while, he seemed to wake up from a long dream.
He asked the person in front of him tentatively in a trembling voice: "You... Are you Captain Roger?" His voice was very light, as light as the ripples caused by the breeze blowing across the lake.
His tone was full of uncertainty and caution, as if he was afraid to break this dream-like scene.
When Roger heard what Bucky said, he raised his head slightly. His movements were very light, as if he was afraid of breaking the subtle atmosphere around him.
An imperceptible trace of emotion flashed across his deep eyes. That emotion was like a shooting star across the night sky, fleeting, yet so dazzling, carrying countless memories and emotions.
His eyes became especially gentle at that moment, as if he saw through Bucky the past years, those days of adventures together on the sea, those times full of laughter and tears.
He nodded gently, with a faint smile on his face. That smile was like a spring breeze, warm and kind, making people feel like they were bathed in sunshine.
He said, "Long time no see, Bucky."
His voice is low and magnetic, and every note seems to carry the accumulation of years and stories.
The familiar voice echoed in the air like a melodious old song, instantly bringing back countless memories in Bucky's heart.
That voice seemed to have a magical power, making Bucky feel as if time had never left any traces on Roger. He was still the captain who led them forward courageously, the fearless legend.
When Bucky heard that familiar voice, the last bit of doubt in his heart instantly dissipated, just like the morning mist disappearing without a trace under the sunlight.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in them, like two falling stars, sparkling with crystal light.
Those tears contained so many emotions, the joy of reunion, the nostalgia for the past years, and the deep respect and longing for Roger.
Then, like a powder keg that had been lit, his emotions exploded instantly.
"Captain Roger!" Bucky shouted with all his strength, and the sound seemed to break through the clouds and reach the sky.
At this moment, there was only Roger's figure in his eyes. He rushed towards Roger frantically like a child who had lost his direction but suddenly found a lighthouse.
His face was already covered with tears and snot. At this moment, he no longer cared about his image. The dignity and face that he cared about on a daily basis became insignificant at this moment.
As he ran, his steps were staggering and flustered, as if the whole world was spinning. He even accidentally bumped into a few of Kaido's crew members, who were knocked all over the place by him and complained in dissatisfaction.
However, Bucky didn't care about these at all. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to run to Roger as soon as possible.
He was like a whirlwind, rushing through the crowd and rushing towards Roger, as if no force in the world could stop him.
Finally, Bucky rushed in front of Roger. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and his chest was rising and falling violently, as if he had just experienced a long and difficult marathon.
He threw himself into Roger's arms, without hesitation, full of power and desire, and held Roger tightly with his hands, as if Roger would disappear again if he let go.
He buried his head deeply in Roger's arms and burst into tears. His heart-wrenching cry echoed throughout the coast of the Chabaody Archipelago.
"Wow, wow, wow... Captain Roger, I thought you were dead. I really thought I would never see you again!" Bucky cried until he was hoarse. Every cry was like a sharp knife, piercing his own heart and the hearts of those around him.
His body trembled violently as he cried, as if he wanted to vent all the longing and grievances he had experienced over the years.
Those countless days and nights of longing, the loneliness and helplessness when drifting on the sea, and the emotions that were once suppressed in the heart, now surged out like a flood that broke through the dam.
His tears soaked Roger's clothes, but Roger did not show any disgust. He just patted Bucky's back gently, his eyes full of tenderness and relief.
His body kept shaking and his tears soaked Roger's clothes.
Roger patted Bucky's back gently, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He didn't say anything, but just let Bucky cry quietly in his arms, as if he wanted to comfort this old friend who he hadn't seen for many years in this way.
The people around him also understood when they saw Bucky's expression, after all, they met again after a long separation.
But at this moment, Bucky no longer cared about other people's opinions. He just wanted to enjoy the joy and excitement of reuniting with Roger.
After a long time, Bucky's crying gradually stopped.
He raised his head, wiped the tears from his face with his hand, looked at Roger and said, "Captain Roger, where have you been all these years? Why haven't we heard from you?" His eyes were full of expectation, eager to get an answer from Roger.
Roger smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said, "Bucky, this is a very long story. I will tell you slowly when I have the chance." After that, he patted Bucky on the shoulder.
