Pirates: The wages are in place, the four emperors are kicked out

Porusalino, whose consciousness returned to the main world of pirates, opened his eyes and turned over comfortably on the bed. Every time he woke up from his dream, he felt extremely comfortable in his body, and he couldn't help but reveal "

A strange chicken" expression.

"you're awake?"

Sakaski's voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm awake...but I'm curious. I just turned over. How did you tell that I was awake, Brother Sakaski?"

Porusalino asked doubtfully.

"...You usually don't turn over during sleep, just like a dead person," Sakaski explained briefly and concisely, "You only turn over once when you wake up, or before going to bed."

"I understand the truth...but why do you observe so carefully!"

Sakaski ignored Porusalino's sensitive question and turned the book in his hand to a new page.

——In fact, his careful observation of Porusalino did not start recently, but as early as the night the two met, he was very concerned about Porusalino's every move.

This concern is indeed partly due to Porusalino's appearance (after all, Sakaski has never seen anyone so vulgar and monkey-like), but more of it is due to Porosalino's inadvertent appearance.

The strength and mentality shown.

In this day after day of observation, Sakaski gradually changed. In his eyes, Porusalino also gradually changed from "hidden" to "unfathomable", and then to what he is today.

Every move is "horrible"...

But in a sense, there is nothing wrong with Sakaski's idea. After all, who would have thought that this wretched man who likes to fish and sleep secretly becomes stronger in his dreams?

Porusalino heard the sound of Sakaski turning the book, and curiously leaned his upper body out of the bed: "Sakaski, you are reading a book, what book?"

"It's just a novel about dreams, just to kill time."

"Huh? To kill time? Sakaski, you actually know how to read this kind of book..."

Porusalino was quite surprised.

"This kind of book that describes the dreams of pirates, freedom, happiness... looks particularly funny," Sakaski said lightly, "it's a good way to pass the time, just like reading a joke book."

"A book about a pirate's dream...tsk, tsk, tsk,"

Porusalino half leaned on the head of the bed and scratched his chin, "Speaking of which, I seem to have never asked you. Sakaski, what do you think of pirates?"

"The scum of the sea,"

Sakaski replied without hesitation, "They all deserve to die."

"What about the Navy?"

"...to safeguard the existence of justice."

"Where are those mutinous navies we encountered earlier?"

"The scum in the navy who colluded with pirates should all die."

"But Colonel Malvern said that both Jaeger, Jena, and their group of younger brothers also performed very well in the process of exterminating pirates in the past..."

Porusalino said, "Why do you think this is happening? What do you think, Sakaski?"

"People are complex and they change."

"Will it get better or worse?"

Porusalino continued to ask reluctantly.

"It will get better and it will get worse."

"Will pirates change? For example, will they become better?"

"... Scumbags are not considered human beings, and there is no possibility of them getting better. And even if they get better, it won't change their nature as scum."

Regarding Sakaski's answers, Porusalino could only say that this mode of thinking was very similar to the girlfriends he had talked to before time travel - knowing clearly that what he said was wrong and that the idea was wrong, but

I still have to say it, and I still have to think about it. Because my emotions temporarily occupy my brain, I can’t care about anything else. I even brainwash myself through constant repetition, making myself really believe these words and thoughts, and then refuse to accept the reality.

Is Sakaski's version of "men are all pigs with hooves and none of them good"...

Thinking of this, Porusalino couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

Sakaski closed the book and asked with a frown.

"It's nothing... I just think your description is very appropriate,"

Porusalino laughed, and then the conversation changed, "What if there is a pirate A, who only robbed a fisherman of 1,000 beli, but saved an old couple in a shipwreck?

?What do you think of him?"

"He won't just rob 1,000 beli, he will wipe out all the fisherman's money and then kill him," Sakaski affirmed with a look like "You must have never seen a real pirate."

He said, "A pirate like this can't save anyone."

"So I said just in case, you just treat him as existing. What do you think?"

"... Such pirates don't exist."

"Just think of him as existing."

"...all pirates must die,"

After a moment of silence, Sakaski said this - as if to make himself more convinced, he repeated it again, "Yes, all pirates must die."

Porusalino did not continue to assume with Sakaski because his goal had been achieved.

"Actually, you know, Sakaski, some pirates will not die, but some people, even if they are not pirates, would not regret it if they died a thousand times."

Sakaski half leaned on the head of the bed and closed his eyes. All he could think about was his biological parents and his adoptive parents who treated him like his own son - all of his relatives died at the hands of pirates.

"No, Porusalino, all pirates must die."

"you sure?"

Porusalino leaned out of the edge of the bed again, looked at Sakaski who was getting out of bed, and asked with a half-smile.

Sakaski did not answer the question directly, but opened his eyes and looked directly at Porusalino:

"...Why are you discussing this with me today? Porusalino, I don't like this topic."

"Well, I'm going to the Navy Headquarters tomorrow. I have to know what kind of person my comrades are, right? I haven't discussed these topics with you in detail before."

"So do you know now?"

"I know, a very awkward person~"

In response to Porusalino's words, Sakaski just stretched out his right hand, and his fist ignited with a "bang" sound.

Porusalino looked at Sakaski's magma fist as big as a casserole, pretended to be scared, and shrank his neck with a smile:

"Kowa Ichinai...Brother Sakaski, please spare me~"

"..."

Seeing Porusalino's expression of needing a beating, Sakaski's veins jumped in his forehead. He desperately suppressed the urge to hit, "You haven't told me what you think, Polu."

Salino."

"Well, if you say so..."

Porusalino spread his hands, "Good pirates, bad pirates; good navy, bad navy; good people, bad people...thinking about these makes me have a headache..."

"However, isn't this what bosses and leaders should think about... I'm just a wage earner, as long as the salary is paid..."

Sakaski looked at Porusalino, whose words seemed to be joking but actually had ulterior motives, making him curl up his lips.

"Then if I were your leader, I would pay you your salary. In that case, it would be okay for you to carry out my justice, right? Porusalino."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an incredible statement, Ichiuchi Kuowa... But I only accept the execution of justice during the six hours of work every day, and I must provide hot tea and newspapers~"
