#267 - Chapter 267 Sauro
After the Five Elders hung up the Den Den Mushi, Sakazuki's face showed a hint of anger.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
An uncontrollable dissatisfaction surged in his heart, as if tightly bound by iron chains.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart, knowing that in the eyes of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, they, the Marines, were nothing more than tools to be summoned and dismissed at will—without any dignity or freedom.
"Dogs,"
Sakazuki cursed in his heart, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes,
"In their eyes, we are just dogs who follow orders!"
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
As a Marine, he could not disobey the orders of the Five Elders, that was his duty.
His palms were sweating with anger, as if his whole body was trembling for this helpless fate.
He suddenly pushed open the door of the cabin and walked onto the deck.
The sea breeze rushed towards him, blowing his iconic justice cloak, making it flutter.
He stood on the deck, looking at Ohara, which was about to be destroyed, and the anger in his heart became even more intense.
"Speed up the action!"
He roared, his voice echoing across the deck like thunder,
"Be sure to bombard at the fastest speed!!"
The soldiers were shocked by his roar and quickly took action.
The shells slid on the tracks, making a harsh friction sound, and the muzzles gradually aimed at Ohara.
Sakazuki's eyes were firm and cold, he knew that at this moment, he was going to erase the entire Ohara from the world.
No matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he had to carry out this cruel order.
He stood at the front of the deck, like an iron statue, motionless.
"From now on, Ohara will cease to exist!"
His voice was low and powerful, with an unwavering determination.
The ordinary Marines naturally did not know the pressure Sakazuki was facing, but at this moment their pressure was not small either.
A tense silence enveloped the warship, and everyone silently carried out their work.
Some people secretly glanced at Ohara in the distance, their hearts filled with doubts and unease.
They didn't know what the people on this island had done to make the World Government use a Buster Call.
But they knew that lives would be wiped out under the shells they sent into the barrels.
Kuzan stood on the deck of the warship, his brow furrowed.
His gaze turned to Ohara in the distance. Since the voice of that doctor came from the island, the warship had moved away from the island for a distance under Sakazuki's order.
The sound that ordinary soldiers could hear was already a bit blurry, but for him, this distance had no effect.
The information from the island was extremely clear, and every word stung his heart.
Kuzan took a deep breath, silently listening to the information coming from the broadcast.
He knew that all of this was to silence people and protect secrets.
He knew his position well, knew that he could not change anything, but he was unwilling to be an accomplice to this massacre.
He looked down at the deck under his feet. Since he couldn't change it, he chose to slack off and try to avoid directly participating in the Buster Call.
......
Just as the Marines were preparing to launch the Buster Call in full swing.
Little Robin listened to the voice coming from the Ohara broadcast and quickly ran towards a remote hut.
Her heart was beating fast, every step made her heart seem to jump out, both because of the strenuous running and because of the fear of the arrival of the Buster Call.
She hurriedly reached out and knocked on the somewhat crude wooden door, her heart filled with anxiety and expectation.
She hoped that the person in the house had already left, but was also worried that she would never see them again.
Although she has now eaten the Devil Fruit, she cannot use the ability proficiently, otherwise she would not be so nervous.
The door creaked open, and the tall figure of Haguar D. Sauro appeared at the door.
He looked down at Robin, his face full of worry:
"Robin? Why are you still on the island?"
Robin gasped and looked up at Sauro, her eyes firm and bright:
"Of course I'm here to find you to leave together."
"You came all the way to tell us this kind of thing, of course I can't leave you behind."
She said crisply, her voice with a pure and firm tone.
Sauro's brow furrowed slightly. He had naturally heard Dr. Clover's broadcast.
He has now defected from the Navy and told Robin about the Buster Call. Now he really has nowhere to go, so he might as well stay here and wait for death.
"But, the news I told you, you have already learned from other people, I still haven't done anything."
His voice was a little low, and he was still hiding behind the tattered wooden door.
Robin grabbed his hand and ran towards Jin'an and the others with force, a smile blooming on her small face:
"You have been teaching me to face everything with a smile these days, you don't look good with a bitter face now ~"
Sauro followed behind Robin, a warmth rising in his heart.
He looked at the small figure running in front of him and felt a care and warmth he had never felt before.
This made the coldness and indignation in his heart gradually dissipate. The negative emotions accumulated from hunting archaeologists in the Navy were melted away by this warmth little by little.
He quickened his pace and caught up with Robin's pace.
Robin took his hand, turned back and gave him a sweet smile, her eyes full of trust.
Sauro's heart beat faster. At that moment, he felt a power he had never felt before.
It was the purity and fearlessness from Robin, a power that made him believe in the world again.
"Robin, thank you."
Sauro said in a low voice, his voice with a hint of choking.
He knew that Robin was not only taking him away from danger, but also using her actions to tell him that there was still beauty and hope in this world.
Then he heard Robin continue:
"Haha, I also learned a sentence during this time called 'A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his intentions'. We are grateful to you!"
Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, as if lighting up a lamp in the darkness.
Sauro looked at Robin blankly after hearing her words.
Then, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he nodded:
"You're right..."
His mood seemed to brighten with Robin's words.
"But who did you hear this sentence from, that's great."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Sauro's eyes.
Robin looked at the building that was gradually becoming clear in front of her, as well as the tall figure, waved her hand, and said excitedly:
"That person is in front!"
Sauro followed Robin's gaze and saw the familiar figure, his pace slowed down, and even stopped in the end.
"That person is......"
