Chapter 385: Face your fate.
"Huh?" Upon hearing the news, Yana also looked up at the soldier in a daze from her deep sleep:
"Brother...are you awake?"
She stood up and walked out of the house, tidied herself up briefly, and wanted to go and check it out immediately.
"Please, Shani, make some copies of this biological encyclopedia text. I want it to be passed down."
Bang, Yana said and closed the door gently.
G·12 base, military hospital.
In less than half an hour, Yana and the female soldiers arrived at the door of Yaluo's ward.
She opened the door and walked in.
Inside the ward, the sun was shining brightly. Yaluo, wearing his hospital gown, sat upright on the bed, staring out the window in a daze.
An animal-type mythical beast devil fruit, and also has the ability to recover from one's own bloodline.
Yaluo's injuries have improved and he is not seriously injured.
His face looked very sad and depressed.
"Ahem..." Yana cleared her throat and went to the bedside to greet Yaluo:
"You look upset?"
"Let me be quiet for a while, sister..." Yaluo's voice stopped abruptly, staring at the person who suddenly appeared in front of the window, his eyes widened even more:
"Dad!"
"Huh?" Yana followed Yalu's gaze and found that Arthur, a huge man, suddenly appeared and squatted on the window without their noticing.
He just learned that Yana was captured for saving him, and then was rescued by his own father, and easily killed the Red Hair Pirates.
What is this old man doing now?
"Let me walk around with you today, Xiaona. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Arthur said to Yana, ignoring Yalo on the bed.
To Arthur, this son born out of Stussy's greed was dispensable and of no value to him.
His daughter is different. She is his real child and she has information from birth to her growth.
"Tomorrow!" Yana was startled and quickly ran to Arthur and asked:
"Didn't you say you'd stay for a few days? Why two days? Dad!"
"Next time I come, I can stay with you forever." Arthur explained:
"Forgive me, daughter. We'll talk later." Arthur put his hand on Yana's head and stroked it gently.
“There are things waiting for me that need to be done.”
Yalo lowered his eyes, observing Arthur's attitude towards Yana compared to his own.
It felt like... an irrelevant stranger, being ignored and left out.
But he didn't care. He had already felt from the Red Hair Pirates how difficult it was for his father to get to where he is today on his own.
Soon, he saw the father in front of him leaving the ward with his sister who was better than him.
"Hehe." Yaluo smiled faintly, huddled into the quilt, and muttered to himself:
"If I hadn't said those words to him two years ago, would I have... let it go... at least my father didn't kill me?"
This day has been exceptionally long.
Yana followed Arthur out of the base and had fun in various places in the town, at the amusement facilities, and on the beach.
Arthur put aside his inner torment just to be with his daughter for one day.
From morning to dusk, two long shadows walked towards the port pier in the afterglow of the sunset.
Yana, wearing a pure gold ring on her right hand, followed Arthur with a smile on her face.
It seemed like everything was satisfied...the father that I had imagined in my mind had already been realized on this day.
I am already very satisfied that this man, who is considered a sinner by the world, looks like a normal father.
"How about...tea rice in chazuke for dinner? And some dessert?"
"Ok!"
After dinner, late at night, on the deck of the Cooper.
Yana fell asleep in Arthur's arms.
The full moon was here, and Arthur stood up, holding his daughter in his arms. He opened a soul portal in front of him that led to the base commander's office and walked in.
In the blink of an eye, he returned from the port to the naval base chief's office.
"......!!" Shani, who was sitting behind the desk, saw Arthur suddenly appear in the room. She stopped the work in her hands, stood up abruptly, and stared at him in astonishment.
"What are you looking at? Slut?" Arthur glanced at her and asked.
"Are you sure you want to go to Elegia?" Shani asked Arthur in a dull tone:
"According to secret information from within the Navy, the Holy Land has been completely emptied out, and all of the powerful fighting forces of the Celestial Dragon families have come out in force.
According to preliminary calculations, even if the more than 170 member states are not taken into account, there were a terrifying number of fighters attending that concert.
Their target is clear: you, Arthur.
You are fighting against an entire world alliance and countless rising stars of the sea!"
Arthur put his sleeping daughter on the big bed and covered her with a blanket.
His eyes turned cold, he looked at Shani and replied:
"Why not just kill them all? Even if everyone in the world gathers together, what can it do? How many of them can stand and attack me?"
These words made Shani sit there in a daze, her face full of shock and cold sweat all over her body.
It was a well-intentioned reminder, but the other party not only did not show any remorse, but also said such overbearing and cruel words.
It was as if he was going to kill everyone in the world, without a trace of hesitation.
At this moment she understood that Arthur was going to end his miserable life with his own hands.
She was so shocked that she was speechless. She could hardly imagine what it would be like to deal with the World Alliance.
Seeing Arthur turning around and heading out the door, Shani quickly recovered from her shock and asked:
"What about Xiaona? What if, what if you die? What will she do?"
Arthur has too much uncertainty about the future. How can he know where the world will go if he really dies?
Besides, if I were really dead, why would I care about the world?
"I don't know." Arthur said this in a low and hoarse voice and disappeared into the room.
"Huh?" Shani saw the uncertainty in Arthur's expression when he answered, and was stunned on the spot:
"So you don't even know your future, and you still have to face your own fate?"
Rumble——!
Arthur had just left for a few minutes, driving the Cooper away from the port quickly towards another part of the ocean.
On the sea surface surrounding G.12, a huge wall of ice crystals as high as a hundred meters quickly enveloped the entire island with a diameter of several kilometers.
The heaven and earth shook, causing panic among the people.
"The unknown and uncertainty are what life is all about. If I could see my future, nothing would happen now."
On the deck of the Cooper, Arthur steered the ship with one hand, his long hair fluttering in the strong wind, and he thought to himself:
“After going through many vicissitudes and great changes over the years, I realized that I will always be me.
It’s just that the cruel experience made it impossible for me to be myself again.
Let me end this now in my own way.
No one around me will die, no one will disappear, and no one will be affected by my fate. "
As Arthur thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up with ferocity. He looked at the dark sea and fierce waves in the distance and shouted loudly:
"Even if it is a cruel fate, I can break it with my own hands now!"
