Chapter 319 Choice
Chapter 319 Choice
Wano Country, Outer Seas.
The invisible Sunny is drifting leisurely on the sea, and the years are quiet.
In the cab, Franky and Jinbei Anne set up a self-driving route that was completely circling around the country of Wano, with blank expressions on their faces.
"Annie, don't we go in?"
Annie shook her head.
"Not yet."
"How long will it take?"
"almost."
Annie thought of her meeting with Momonosuke last night, a flash of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
"Miss Anne."
Momonosuke clenched his fists and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the figure in the darkness.
Anne hid in the darkness and stared at the child in front of her indifferently.
"I am coming."
"So, what are your options?"
Momonosuke pursed his lips twice but said nothing.
A trace of impatience flashed in Annie's eyes.
"Why, it's been so long and you still haven't thought about it clearly?"
"I..."
Momonosuke hesitated, his face full of struggle.
"I do not want..."
Annie crossed her hands and raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised by this choice.
"Okay, I know."
After saying this, Annie turned around and left.
Momonosuke panicked instantly.
During their return to Wano, they saw the current situation of Wano people's livelihood 20 years later, with people dying of hunger everywhere.
The people who were oppressed by cruel oppression and exploitation could not breathe at all, and countless people were displaced and separated from their flesh and blood.Countless people died unexpectedly, and corpses littered the fields.
He saw the painful struggle of the people, and also saw the cruelty and terror of Kaido and the Black Carbon Orochi.
So far, the only allies they have found are the fur tribe.
The Whitebeard Pirates are completely missing, and the Nine Red Scabbards haven't gathered yet.
Momonosuke himself didn't have much hope for this battle against Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi.
He tried to stop him, but Jinmenwei and the others were very resolute.He also said bluntly, 'We must ignite the fire of hope in this land and let those who are still struggling to survive know that the Guangyue clan has never given up on them'!
Although they also knew that they would go there and narrowly escape death.
But he moved forward fearlessly.
But Momonosuke naturally didn't have that determination.
He was afraid, he was afraid.
After seeing the power of the Beasts Pirates' army, he really couldn't convince himself, nor could he firmly believe that this battle would be won.
He felt that the wisest thing to do at this time was to stop this battle and wait until he had accumulated strong strength and made foolproof preparations before challenging Kaido.
Of course, this is a situation where you have no choice but to rely on yourself.
If the Straw Hat Pirates could help them, things might be different.
But he really couldn't accept Annie's request.
“Wano Country has always been ruled by generals, and we, the Kozuki clan, are the orthodox heirs.
There is no way I can convince myself to leave the country of Wano into the hands of outsiders.
If I did that, I wouldn't have the face to see my father. "
Annie nodded.
"I respect your choice."
"Miss Anne!"
Momonosuke shouted urgently again.
"Although the days we spent together overseas were not long, I can see that everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates is a kind-hearted person with a broad mind. I have also heard about your heroic deeds along the way.
Save the country, save the people.We should hoe the strong and help the weak, and uphold justice.Although he is a pirate, he never kills innocent people indiscriminately, burns, kills, and loots.
Today, the country of Wano is in dire straits.
Kaido threatened with force, and Orochi killed innocent people indiscriminately.
There are many factories and pollution everywhere.
The people couldn't even drink a sip of clean water and had to starve to death..."
Momonosuke became more and more eager as he spoke.
"The Straw Hat Pirates are all just men. Can you help us defeat Kaido and save millions of innocent people in Wano?"
Momonosuke shouted the last few words with almost all his strength.
Anne's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but the sarcastic laughter clearly reached Momonosuke's ears.
"Are you committing moral kidnapping right now?"
"No, I didn't mean that!"
Hearing the ridicule and dissatisfaction in Anne's tone, Momonosuke felt a little panicked.
"We are pirates, not the Holy Mother of Salvation."
"You don't need to say nice things to put a high hat on us. This trick doesn't work."
The clear voice seemed to be filled with ice.
"The reason why the country of Wano has fallen to this point is that you, the Kozuki clan, are one of the murderers, aren't you?"
"No! No! It's the Heitan clan..."
Momonosuke was a little angry.
"Oh~"
“Kozuki Sukiyaki didn’t understand people well and kept a poisonous snake by his side, even letting it come into contact with the center of power while he was still alive.
Kozuki Oden is indecisive and kind-hearted.
To put it nicely, it means being sincere; to put it badly, it is foolishness!
He obviously had a good hand, but in the end he played badly.
You, Kozuki Momonosuke, are cowardly and arrogant.
Although he is carrying everyone's hopes and beliefs, he is still selfish and afraid to move forward.
You only think about relying on others, and you haven’t inherited half of your father’s character! "
Anne's merciless words instantly angered Momonosuke.
"Bullshit!"
"You are not allowed to insult father!"
Momonosuke glared angrily and clenched his hands into fists.
"My father is the most powerful warrior in the world. He is free and easy, smart and courageous! He cares about the people and loves his retainers!
He built the chaotic and dirty place of exile into a prosperous town with singing birds and fragrant flowers!He became the famous name of Jiuli who was deeply loved by the people!
For the sake of the people of Wano Country, regardless of his identity as the legitimate heir, he dropped his body and face to dance naked, just to protect everyone's life! "
"You are just a pirate, what qualifications do you have to judge my father!"
Momonosuke gritted his teeth and stared at Annie in the darkness.
He did not refute Anne's evaluation of himself, because he knew very well that he was indeed a selfish and cowardly person.
But the father he admired could not be tainted by anyone.
"I have never denied his achievements, nor have I discredited his character."
Anne was not angry.
“When he first returned to Wano Country, it was the best time to attack Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi.
With a wave of his arms, countless people would respond to his call.
Daimyos, yakuza, samurai from all over the world...
What's more, he has two big backers behind him, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates. "
Anne looked at Momonosuke indifferently.
“Even without resorting to overseas forces, relying on Oden’s transcendent strength and charisma, it would not be a problem to defeat Orochi, whose dominance was unstable at the time, and Kaido, who had just taken root in Wano.
But he believed Orochi and Kaido's lies, and was dragged by them for five years, allowing them to grow up step by step.
He has grown to the point where he can no longer shake his status! "
"That's because Orochi and Kaido threatened my father with the lives of those 500 people!"
He argued with Anne with a ferocious expression.
"Well, that's right."
"He's a good guy, but out of the way, I think he's a stupid good guy."
"He saved those 500 people that day."
"But how many more 20 people died in the next 500 years?"
Momonosuke was stunned.
He stood there blankly, his nails digging into his palms.
"No...this is wrong..."
He murmured unconsciously, his mind was in chaos, and for a moment he couldn't think of how to refute Anne.
Anne sighed.
She is not a good person. If killing one person can save hundreds of people, she will not hesitate to swing the blade.
