I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

"Have you not brought over the prisoner named Krieg?"

Captain Mouse's scolding voice came over the phone.

"Captain, we'll be there soon!"

The sergeant responded humbly.

After the phone was dialed for a long time, Captain Mouse sent such an order.

Although it was a wise choice to move the guarded prisoners after encountering an enemy attack in the square, but... why did they choose such a wide flat area.

"Hurry up, otherwise you will be hung on the rack and exposed to the sun for three days and three nights!"

Click!

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone caller was roughly hung up.

The sergeant swallowed and quickly waved his hand to the soldiers behind him to speed up.

After a while, the team escorting the prison van arrived at their destination.

The sergeant looked around blankly at the empty surroundings and shouted: "Captain!"

At this moment, a black shadow quickly passed by, and then, before the small group of Marine soldiers surrounding the prison car could react, they were knocked to the ground one after another from behind.

"Hey...hey, can I go?"

The bruised and swollen Mouse Captain stepped out of the shadows somewhere.

He looked at A Jin who was walking toward him with a smile and moved his wrist. However, he did not see any willingness to agree on the other person's face.

"No! I'm just following your words. I've already taken the risk of being dismissed or even arrested. You can't..."

boom!

A simple straight punch hit the mouse in the face, causing him to collapse to the ground and shut his mouth completely.

Ah Jin turned back and walked towards the prison car. He held the sill railing with both hands and forcefully opened the iron bars of the prison car to both sides.

Then, Krieg, who seemed to be still in a daze, was lifted out and placed on the ground.

"Captain Krieg, thank you for your life-saving grace. I have followed you for so many years, but now... it is time to say goodbye."

He kowtowed to Krieg, then raised his head after a long time and stood up slowly.

"Ajin, do you really want to leave me?"

Ajingang turned around and took a few steps, when Krieg's dull voice came from behind.

"Captain Krieg, although you didn't say it outright, I know that I have become a burden to you. Isn't my leaving exactly what you want?"

Ajin stopped.

Krieg covered a dull, painful scar on his chest, but his joy was palpable:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Although I don't know what happened, I can see that your body is fine. Now you can continue to fight for me and use your power to clear obstacles for me. You have always been He is my most loyal subordinate!"

“I always thought so before entering the Grand Line, but it wasn’t until I became seriously ill that I finally realized that I still had very important things that I had not completed.”

Ajin just explained calmly, "Now, I want to live according to my own wishes."

He didn't look back, just looked ahead.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the figure of the curly eyebrow chef and the straw hat boy.

The bowl of egg fried rice that moved him to tears, and the vow "See you again at Grand Line" came to his heart again at this moment.

He was going to fulfill that agreement.

"Hey, Ajin, are you serious? In other words... do you want to betray me!"

Krieg's expression suddenly changed and he said sadly.

"Captain Krieg, I have more than repaid your kindness by doing things for you without any reason over the years."

"Enough? You are so self-righteous. You will never be able to repay Laozi's kindness in your lifetime. No, even in the next life, you must work hard for me without complaint!"

Krieg completely tore off the mask of disguise, revealing his ferocious face.

Ah Jin stood there: "I can't do it."

"If you can't do it..."

Krieg laughed ferociously, "Then go to hell!"

After saying that, he tore off the prison uniform with intersecting black and white stripes and rushed towards A Jin angrily.

He had always betrayed others, but no one betrayed him. Whether it was driven by dignity or something else, Krieg had never been so angry.

This kind of anger caused his adrenaline to secrete rapidly. Even though he was injured now, the speed and power he could explode were far beyond normal.

The muscles on his arms continued to bulge, and the twisted veins covered the skin one by one.

In the blink of an eye, a heavy fist was thrown out with great force.

Ah Jin turned around, knowing that he could no longer escape...

No matter what, he will eventually have to face it.

He made a fist with his right hand and suddenly struck with it!

The fists intersected, and a strong wave of air seemed to explode from the center of the two people, and the surrounding dust continued to fly up.

The stalemate between the two sides only lasted for a moment. Krieg's expression suddenly changed, and he flew backwards as embarrassed as a rag bag.

Why... is he so powerful? !

Krieg staggered to his feet, holding on to his right hand whose phalanges seemed to have been broken, and looked at Akin in disbelief.

He tried his best but couldn't shake the opponent even a little bit.

"I'm sorry, Captain Krieg."

Ah Jin bowed apologetically.

"sorry?"

Krieg was stunned, and then he laughed angrily, "Stop pretending in front of Laozi!

I've been using you from the beginning! What a life-saving grace, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some strength, I wouldn't promote you to be the battle captain. In the final analysis, you are just a handy tool. Once it doesn't work, you can discard it at any time! "

"..."

Ajin raised his eyes and looked at Krieg without saying a word.

"You have always been aware of this. In the past few years, you have done things for me just to enjoy the pleasure of being sought after by the pirates. You just used it as a high-sounding excuse to 'repay a favor'."

Krieg spat and sneered, "You are even more hypocritical than me."

"Really……"

Ah Jin murmured with some trembling, "So is this the image of me in your heart? So it turns out that I'm not even a partner?"

"'Partner'? What a boring word... Ah Jin, remember, when I recover, one day, I will let you lie at my feet as humble as a tick, crying bitterly! Ha ha ha ha!"

Krieg laughed wildly as he stumbled away.

"It turns out that all these years have been just wishful thinking..."

Ah Jin lowered his head, tears slowly dripping down his cheeks from his eyes.

Crows of birds were circling in the sky, making strange cries, as if they were mocking.

He didn't know how long it took before he raised his head. His tears had been dried by the breeze, and only the tear stains on his face proved the sadness he felt not long ago.

But in my eyes, there is no more confusion.

"From now on, there will never be a 'Ghost Man' Ajin again."
