Chapter 390
"You who once gave up your'dream'..."
"Don't want to take away other people's dreams!"
Although Luffy was entangled with the comprehended Haoshoku in the battle, to be honest, to the young red count, it was just a superficial wound that caught a punch by surprise. It is Luffy's unyielding will and the comparison with himself that made the red count sitting up from the ruins remain silent...
"Don't deny the dream of the boss!"
At this time, Patong, the little civet cat, ran up to Red Count and faced Luffy. Red Count will not refute, but Patong can't stand it anymore.
"The boss always says this: Those people simply don’t stop there..."
Just got the title of Pirate King, surrendered to Marine because of a terminal illness, and then went to his hometown His head was chopped off...
The man who claimed to be the strongest man in the world had no "record" on the top battlefield, and finally died under a siege...
p>"I can't use my own strength to die like this...the boss is very unwilling!"
"So the boss...never abandons important things!!"
In Red Count's mind, the most important thing is actually'friends'.
He just feels unwilling to end his friends.
"Enough, Patong."
Red Count, who slowly stood up, took a step forward, looking at the swaying front of him, but still the firm eyes of'Old Luffy' . In contrast, this young body of his own seemed so weak.
"I tried to use the borrowed'young',"
"To chase the borrowed'dream'····"
Red count will Putting his hands on top of old Luffy's head, who had to support his knees to stand firm, surprised everyone in the Straw Hat group! But Roman’s outstretched arm blocked their impulsive pace, because:
buzzing
Luffy’s skinny body is full again and wrinkles are again Smooth, silver hair turned into pitch black——
"·····Recovered····Recovered?"
"I entrusted my dream to them without authorization. After they left, they inherited their dream without authorization..."
When Luffy was surprised, Red Count had already turned and walked towards another victim.
"Give up the fight against'aging' and chose the easy path of'forever young'."
Red Count squatted at the hotel boss where he absorbed the'lifespan' In front of the girl Adoa, she put her hand on the other's old face.
Buzz
As the young girl also returned to her original appearance, correspondingly, the red count once again became the appearance of the evil old man.
"I have realized, Straw Hat Luffy!"
The old man who turned around slammed cloak, his face was no longer the anger mixed with unwillingness before, but he recovered calmly again. And aloof.
"Pirate King is not a cheap title that can be obtained by borrowed youth and borrowed dreams."
The old man opened his arms and strode towards Luffy.
"I want to surpass Newgate, Roger, and everyone with this aging body!"
"Even alone ····"
" I also want to be a'Pirate King'!!"
Following the declaration of Red Count, the crimson Haki who went straight to the sky burst out of him!
The strength of this Haki suddenly embodies a naked eye, which is visible, filled with the crimson aura of arrogance, self-confidence, dominance, and reluctance, like a thousand arrows, all around The intensive shooting, like a blood wave, surges toward everyone.
Under this impact, the weaker people on the Straw Hat group all took a big step back and hid behind their companions, only a few of the main forces were fearless in front.
"Hey hey hey, such an imposing manner... but you can’t see the aging at all."
Zoro held the handle of the knife around his waist, even though he said He said fierce words, but there was a smile on his face. The faces of the others calmed down. In any case, today's things seem to be'peaceful' over.
hu
Roman who has been tight is also relaxed.
As expected of Luffy, even a Peak powerhouse like the red count is subdued under his imposing manner...
"Not alone!"
And the little civet cat Patong also chased Hong Count's side and stood side by side with him.
"Boss Red, I want to be with you! I want to help you!"
"No matter being abandoned or kicked, I will not give up! Because this is me Your freedom is also my dream!!"
·······
"Oh, it seems that the plan to entrust you to the Straw Hat team has failed It."
From the very beginning, Red Count deliberately sent Patong to the route of the Straw Hat regiment. Because I have to sprint to the throne of the'Pirate King', and because I have to face the 800-year-old invincible person, I have arranged the back road early...
"Never mind,"
"This is a Pirate King journey of'a man and a civet cat'! Patong, then accompany my old fogey along the way!"
"Yes, Red boss!! "
"Hehe heyLook, as long as you persist, there will be results."
Faced with Luffy who was smiling at hehe, the little civet cat also smiled.
"Thank you, Luffy, raccoon"
"But—"
As the morning sea breeze blows, copy the previous' The gorgeous captain's coat left over by Luffy's blew violently, ——yes, that dress is not an illusion, it's a'copy of Luffy'. I don't know the dress from there, even after it disappears, the one that represents'Pirate King' 'The coat still exists.
Huh
The sea breeze blew up the coat and flew to the side of Luffy. He grabbed it and put it on him!
"It is me who wants to be Pirate King!"
······
"Come on!"
Red Count, the little civet cat crawling on his shoulders, pointed the umbrella in his hand at the entire Straw Hat group, and the others in the Straw Hat group also walked behind Luffy wearing the Pirate King coat.
"Roman, the gust of wind just now..."
"Hehe, don't you think that captain's coat goes well with Luffy?"
" ·····You are happy,"
Of course it is matched. It was originally something obtained by'copying Luffy', which was chosen by the equivalent to Luffy. ——Although Luffy usually doesn't care about anything, in fact, his aesthetics are always online.
Well, except for the obsession with laser emission and transformation...
"Come on—"
this time, there is nothing else Distractions. Both sides have only simple battles:
The white Knight armor is followed by wind, lightning is entangled, and the black and white long sword in the hand is cut vertically and horizontally; the three-handed katana on Haki, Ghost Qi, and murderous aura rolls as black as ink, tearing everything apart ;The black legs kicked out in a series, the kicking technique is stubbornly press forward, hot like a fire; the water waves are tumbling and following, it is the fists that several decades have been thrown in a day;
There are also wind and cloud lightning, plant bullets, Seven-stage transformation, ice stabbing sword, laser heavy artillery, petal arm...
and:
"Rubber·Overlord Lion Swing Bomb!"
As Luffy wrapped Haoshoku and Busoshoku's four-speed rotating fist with a black lightning blasting on Red Count's chest, the crimson silhouette flying upside down indicated that the battle for the'Pirate King' had come to an end.
bang!
I lost it,
Sure enough, this era belongs to you.
In front of the gasped for breath Straw Hat group, Red Count slowly stood up to tidy up the bright red scarf on his chest and the purple pleated collar, and then:
Hey,
The old man kneels on the ground,
"Boss Red····"
Facing with the worry of Patong who has changed from a pen to a civet cat The look in his eyes, Red Count patting his head in love.
"Always...the window period is too long."
After several decades of comfort in Impel Down and fighting with my own body, it seems...
Is it not bad to lose to these youngsters?
Clang clang, clang clang
As soon as the red count conceded, the entire Straw Hat group instantly collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, if you are like this, then what are we..."
Roman sitting on the ground took a self-deprecating look and had room to clean up his appearance. The red count, curl one's lip.
"You uncles on the ocean, one by one are strong enough to be monstrous. I am ashamed to say that I am old..."
"Hey, that's it for today "
Standing up, the red count put the little civet cat Patong on his shoulder, and after breathing, Brick put the mourning sword in his hand and looked towards the place in front of him. An evil old man was connected with the lonely young man in the depths of his memory.
"It turned out to be you, Patrick Redfield."
————
When I was still a human, Pirates of Rumba passed through a village without worries. The carefree joyous music attracted a lonely teenager.
'Why, there is only joy in your hearts? '
Faced with the teenager's question, the man with a luxuriant afro-head, wearing small sunglasses and a scar on his forehead gave out his iconic laugh.
'Is there any reason, isn't music just to bring joy to people? '
'Can I be like you? '
'Of course, in this vast sea, no matter who you are, you will definitely meet friends worthy of your heart! There will surely be times to laugh! '
————
"Later you went to sea too,"
Brook looked at his former junior with emotion, his head was full of gray hair The legend of Great Pirate. Although things have remained the same, but people have changed, but:
"'Patong' is your title in the newbie period, and you gave him your name--"
With emotion, his eyes fell on the little civet cat on the shoulders of Red Count.
"From the very beginning, you haven't given up anything."
This is the origin of the name of the little civet cat,
"I didn’t even think of it. I’ll meet you here, "Song of the Nose" Brook senior."
Although Brook usually looks like a perverted skeleton, he is actually a 90-year-old skeleton... .
"Bahahahaha "
The scarlet old man turned up to the sky and laughed. Today is really a good day.
As the sun jumped out of the sea horizon, golden sunlight fell on this island, causing Red Count to open the umbrella in his hand and cover his face, leaving only a raised corner of his mouth.
"Let’s go, Patong."
"Our journey has only officially begun now—"
Facing the old man who left to face the morning sun, Everyone in the Straw Hat group smiled, only:
"Mr. Red Count, remember not to use our clones to do things. If you can, please don’t attack Marine, for the reason you know. "
"Hey hey hey, the atmosphere is gone!"
"Roman is really..."
"Hey, hey, hey, I’m almost falling apart."
"I’m having trouble, sleep a lot!"
"Sanji, I’m going to eat meat, I’m already hungry..."
······
"Here is it?"
When the hotel boss and the glasses girl Yadoya woke up, they saw a ruin The battlefield and a group of Straw Hat regiments falling asleep next to hu hu.
And the only Roman sitting on guard.
