Pirates: Start by rejecting the red-haired invitation

The inhabitants of this peaceful little village are very dependent on Whitebeard and Marco.

They would often ask Whitebeard and Marco for help.

Even gossip among neighbors will go to them to chat.

In short, when the two of them came to this village, they were very popular with the people here.

When Ace left here in tears, Whitebeard's injuries were almost not healed, he was very embarrassed and weak, but after this period of care from Marco and the residents here, Whitebeard has improved a lot, and the whole person has become a lot more energetic.

Ace's eyes turned red when he saw Whitebeard in the distance.

"Daddy~" Ace couldn't hold back, waving and shouting in the direction where Whitebeard was.

Hearing this, Whitebeard turned his head to look over, and when he saw Ace and Lin Mo appear together in front of the cave where they could enter this peaceful place, he was not too surprised, but waved his hand at the two of them happily.

Ace immediately half-elementalized and flew towards Whitebeard, only to stop when he came to Whitebeard's body and landed on the ground.

The three children, who were originally circling around Whitebeard, immediately shifted their targets and began to circle around Ace.

"Brother Ace, you're back.

"Is it fun outside? Brother Ace, I made a wooden doll yesterday and gave it to you. "

Brother Ace, play games with us~"

The children were very enthusiastic around Ace.

Ace bared his teeth and smiled: "You guys play by yourself first, I'll accompany you later, let me talk to my dad first." "

The children were very obedient and said 'yes', and then continued to chase each other and go to play.

After the children ran away, Ace looked at Whitebeard and said happily, "Daddy, I'm back." Whitebeard

laughed and asked, "Goo-la-la-la, why did you think of coming back to see me?"

"I see. Whitebeard glanced at Lin Mo, who was calmly walking towards this side, and continued, "It seems that you guys are getting along quite well.

"It's okay. Ace shrugged and said, "Lin Mo's crew are all very interesting people, by the way, Dad, how is your health

?" Whitebeard said indifferently: "You can't die yet, why is it only you and Lin Mo?"

"Kaku and Hellar are watching the ship, Anilu and Perona are looking for treasure in the ruins outside, and Xiaobai is temporarily lost." "

Lost, didn't you look for it?"

"No, Lin Mo said that Xiaobai will come back, their personality, Dad, you also know, when Xiaobai gets into trouble, we will know the whereabouts of that guy." "

Yes, too. Whitebeard nodded his head, and then his gaze fell on Lin Mo, who had already come, "Little ghost, you came here just to see me, or do you have other purposes, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush between us."

Lin Mo stared at the white-bearded eyes very calmly, and said, "Look at you." Whitebeard

jokingly asked, "Goo-la-la-la, are you supposed to come to see me dead?"

Lin Mo said indifferently, "With Marco here, if the world government and those four emperors don't come to make trouble, you won't die." "

This village is still very hidden, and not many people know about it, so it is relatively safe.

"Makes sense. Whitebeard laughed and said, "Goloo Ace, you go and play with the children, I still have something to say to Lin Mo.

Ace nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, paused again, looked at Lin Mo, and whispered: "I forgot to bring gifts for the children, Captain, what toys do you have over there, or candy snacks or something?" Lend me some."

Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly, and without thinking too much, he took out a bag of maltose from the system space and gave it to him.

After taking the maltose, Ace whispered 'thank you' and trotted in the direction of the three children.

After Ace left, Lin Mo continued to speak: "If you want to ask anything, just ask." Whitebeard

stared at Lin Mo and continued: "I'm not surprised that you survived the explosion in Marin Fando, but Ace mentioned Kaku just now, and I remember that Kaku was already dead at that time. Could it be that he came back from the dead?"

Lin Mo nodded in response.

Whitebeard asked with some worry: "You brought him back

from the dead?" Lin Mo asked rhetorically: "Isn't it okay?"

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "It's not that it can't be, but resurrecting people who have died is an act against the will of heaven, and this is by no means something that ordinary people can do, you tell me the truth, what is the price you used to resurrect Kaku."

Lin Mo didn't expect Whitebeard to ask him this, he originally wanted to find a reason to prevaricate casually, but seeing Whitebeard's solemn expression that seemed to be about to see through people, he was silent for a moment before he responded: "Lifespan." "

What?" Whitebeard said in surprise, "Lifespan, little ghost, do you know what you're doing?"

Lin Mo said indifferently, "I know, it's just a few years of life, as long as you can get Kaku back, you can do anything."

"But have you ever thought about Kaku's little imp's feelings?" Whitebeard said with a solemn expression, "You probably didn't tell him what the price of resurrecting him was, if one day, he knew that you were using your life to renew his life, what do you think Kaku would think? Do you think he can accept it?"

"Whether he accepts it or not, this has happened. Lin Mo said expressionlessly, "I won't let him know, and I won't let others know anymore, even if one day he really knows, it doesn't matter, he has always been very obedient to me, no matter what I do, whether it is good or bad, he will support me unconditionally, stand on my side, he won't blame me."

"It's just your own thoughts. Whitebeard said in a displeased tone, "Kaku is a man of feelings, he is not a machine, he is your companion, maybe it is really as you said, he will not blame you, but he will definitely blame himself, he will always live in self-blame, this is what you

want to see?" "I don't want to see it, so." Lin Mo continued, "I don't want anyone else to know about this, understand?"

Few people dared to talk to Whitebeard like that.

Whitebeard didn't care about that.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't regret it at all, Whitebeard was silent for a while, and continued: "If it's really just a few years of lifespan that can be exchanged for the life of an important companion, if it were me, I would do the same, little ghost, you have really grown up, and it feels good to have companions who depend on each other, right?" Lin Mo

nodded lightly, hesitated, and continued: "Well, it feels good. "

Cherish it."

"I will. "
