The Black Duke of the Pirate

"Ace, can you hold on?" Reinhardt ignored the pirate, but looked at Ace who was struggling with a smile.

"Hold on... gotta..." Ace's intermittent words never finished, but Reinhard already fully understood his will and consciousness.

"Hey, you guy, if you don't hurry up and save Ace, he will die." Dadan next to him became extremely impatient after seeing this, and shouted at Reinhardt.

"This is Ace's battle, I will not interfere." Reinhardt glanced at Dadan and continued, "A true [strong man] must have the [consciousness] to be killed by others at any time, do you understand?"

?”

"As long as you go to the battlefield, you must have this kind of consciousness. Killing and being killed are both natural and justified things."

"You bastard!"

Dadan roared angrily, swung the ax directly, rushed to the pirate leader, and struck down with the ax, but he did not hit the pirate as expected, but the ax also helped Ace get out of the siege.

Ace lay on the ground and gasped quickly. The smoke-smelling air was sucked into his lungs. He felt uncomfortable, so he coughed violently a few times.

"We agreed to do it one-on-one, and now you guys have broken this rule." The pirate leader immediately became furious.

"Ace, can you still get up and fight?" Reinhardt smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't get up, I will help you kill this weak guy."

"I can!"

After hearing Reinhardt's words, Ace immediately shouted while coughing, "Aunt Dadan, you don't need to help me, I can handle this battle."

"Please believe me!" Seeing Dadan's extremely worried eyes, Ace said again.

"You don't follow the rules, let me go." The pirate leader yelled at Reinhardt. Before Reinhardt ordered him, he didn't dare to escape at all, because he had a vague feeling that as long as he had the idea of ​​​​escape, he might

will be killed immediately.

Reinhard sneered: "Rules?"

"I set the rules. Of course I can do whatever I want. If you don't agree, just go to the Lord of Hell and complain..."

However, this pirate may not even know who [The Lord of Hell] is.

Reinhard said with a chuckle, and then saw Ace rushing up with the water pipe again.

"No matter what, I will die, today I will kill this brat first." The pirate leader waved his long sword and slashed towards Ace.

Ace forced his breathing and heartbeat to gradually calm down, and then slowly recalled his past physical training in his mind. His body jumped slightly, and he stepped on the back of the long knife with his feet. With this power,

His short body immediately rushed towards the pirate leader.

The pirate leader showed a sneer and immediately waved his left fist, then a proud smile appeared on his face.

But the next second his smile froze completely. His left hand did not hit anything, and then he suddenly felt a huge pain in his temple.

Ah... The water pipe hit the pirate leader's temple, and he screamed like a slaughtering pig. Ace took advantage of the other party's distraction to continue bombarding him with the water pipe.

Bang bang bang...

The pirate leader was lying on the ground rolling around, with blood flowing from many places on his body, and he seemed unable to get up.

"I won." The water pipe in Ace's hand fell to the ground, and his body could no longer hold up. He lay on the ground panting. The battle just now was too dangerous, and even the last bit of strength in his body was drained.

Moreover, he was overdrawn a lot. At this time, he really wanted to take a nap and rest.

"Now is not the time to rest." At this time, Reinhardt spoke again and walked towards Ace, "The battle is far from over."

Combat isn't just about one-on-one combat with enemies.

After Reinhard finished speaking, he walked to the pirate leader, picked up the knife that fell on the ground, and stared at the pirate with cold eyes.

"Spare...spare me." The pirate gasped and begged for mercy with blood on his face.

Reinhardt looked at the red blade reflected by the firelight in his hand, and smiled softly: "Whether I kill you or not has no real meaning to me."

After hearing this, the pirate leader's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought he could save his life, but the next second, the sword flashed across and pierced the pirate leader's throat.

"But I like to clean up the trash." Reinhardt's faint voice came over, but at this time, the pirate leader could no longer hear him.

"Uncle, did you kill him?" Seeing this scene, Ace's voice trembled a little. It seemed that this cruel method shocked him. Defeating the enemy and killing the enemy seemed to be in the heart of the young Ace.

They are two completely different concepts.

"Ace, you must kill your enemies to death."

Ace was stunned. For the first time, he felt that the Uncle Reinhardt in front of him was not as gentle as he appeared on the surface. He was more likely to be a murderous man without blinking an eye, with the kind of aura that unintentionally emanated from his eyes.

That kind of gaze was clearly cruel and cold and indifferent to life.

"Whether it's a pirate or a navy, as long as the camps are in opposition, they are the enemy. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself and your companions."

Looking at Ace's dazed expression, Reinhardt continued to smile: "If you understand it, remember it. If you don't understand it, think about it more. If you don't want to understand it, then pray that one day you will be lucky enough to escape from the enemy."

Only if you are cruel will you not be killed by others.

"What are you talking about, you self-righteous guy? Ace is still a child." Aunt Dadan next to her yelled angrily at Reinhardt, as if she was very dissatisfied with the principles this guy instilled in Ace.

"Children will eventually become adults one day."

Reinhard chuckled and did not continue the topic, "Okay, the danger is over. Goodbye, you two."

"Ace, if we are destined, I will see you on the sea."

Reinhardt said something and then turned around and walked towards the place where the flames were thick. Ace looked at him blankly. His thunderous method of killing enemies with a sword in an understatement shocked his young heart.

Reinhard broke through the flames and suddenly heard a tragic and desperate cry in his ears. The fleeing residents around him were already rolling in the sea of ​​​​fire, and many people had been burned to death.

"It's hopeless. It's completely surrounded by fire..." A young homeless man fell to his knees, covering his face and crying bitterly.

"It's so hot...There's no way to escape..." An older man sighed, his eyes full of plainness...desperation, like the one who has lived for many years, but still wants to live.

, but in the face of the cruel reality, he had to accept his fate, so he didn't show too much pain.

"Hey..." Someone sighed, with a look of despair only seen on the poor people's faces, because it was mixed with numbness and sluggishness.

"Aaaahhhh..." The children were crying desperately.

It's like a countdown to death, ticking ticking...
