Heroes Are Sacrificed

Sharpe stared at Soros with a complicated expression.

“That’s it!”

A man with a wooden blade stepped in front of Sharpe and said, “Mr. Sharpe, I was also saved by you, no matter what your mentality was at that time, but it is a fact that you saved me. I don’t admire you as much as Soros, but I know gratitude.”

He held the wooden saber tightly as if he was holding a divine weapon that gave him infinite power.

“That’s right, Mr. Sharpe. No matter what the man says, you’re encouraging us this year. We’ve been in a daze for years. Only last year when you were there did we have some hope.”

Another man stepped forward and stood in front of Sharpe. “No matter what others say, you are our hero here!”

Three, four, five …

One by one the men came out and stood in front of Sharpe, facing the man opposite with determined eyes.

“It seems that there is no way to talk.”

George shook his head and sneered. “You can fight us with wood? Little ones, arrest this group of slaves!”

The remaining pirates shouted and rushed up to confront the slaves.

The battle continued.

They had already fought before.

Although this group of slaves does not have good weapons, their physique is not weak after surviving in this primitive forest for a long time.

On the other hand, George and the others were pirates who had been on the Grand Line for a long time and their combat awareness was not bad. When they fought, there was no end to it. They even had the upper hand with their weapons.

“Too slow, too slow.”

Morrow shook his head and said to Marcy, “Hey, Marine, you guys go up and help.”

“But they are pirates…” Marcy hesitated.

“So what if he is a pirate? He delayed Saint Charles’s matter, can you bear the responsibility!” Moreau shouted.

“I… I know…”

Marcy gritted her teeth and waved her hand. “Go, help them catch those slaves.”

“But, Colonel Marcy, we have already disobeyed Rear Admiral Kuro’s order. Isn’t it not good to help pirates?” A lieutenant hesitated.

“I am your officer!”

Marcy shouted, “Now, listen, help them take down those slaves!”

Only a ghost would like to stay under Kuro, who doesn’t follow the rules at all. That guy can do whatever he wants with his reputation and Kizaru’s status, but he can’t.

It took him so many years to climb to the rank of colonel. He did not want to play with that madman. If he could cozy up to tenryubito, after this incident, he could be transferred to a good place and maybe he could even be promoted.

“Yes, Colonel Marcy.”

In the face of Marcy’s anger, the lieutenant could only obey the order and join the pirate’s battle line, fighting against the slaves with the pirates.

Originally, the pirates had the upper hand in the battle with these slaves. Once Marine joined in, the battle became even more one-sided.

“How can it be fixed!”

With one of his arms seriously injured, Soros pushed the wooden spear forward and knocked over a pirate, but he was quickly attacked by another pirate and his wounded shoulder was cut. Soros stepped back and the wooden spear went up again and poked the pirate.

Among the slaves present, this one named Soros is obviously the strongest.

George raised his gun in the crowd and aimed it at the boy, ready to pull the trigger.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure crashed into George, causing him to stagger and a little blood flowed down his nose.

“Sharpe!”

He took a few steps back and covered his nose. He looked at the man with determination on his face in shock and roared, “Are you crazy!”

“Captain, stop!”

Sharpe could not bear to see George bleeding. He opened his mouth and tried to persuade him. “I’m not going on the ship, Captain. Please spare them!”

“You think I’m in charge?”

George’s face darkened. “And, do you think you are some big shot? You know how you got your bounty. Don’t talk to me like this!”

With that, he put the gun back to his waist and pounced on Sharp.

“Don’t want to go on the ship? Then don’t go on the ship! Do you think I really think you are a crew member?”

He punched Sharpe in the face and knocked him back, shouting, “I was just drunk and did something stupid, but the bounty is higher than mine! It’s unforgivable, it’s unforgivable!”

“Captain…”

After being punched, Sharp wanted to fight back, but George’s words made his body stiffen.

Bang!

Then, he was knocked over by George who rushed over again. George rode on him and attacked him violently.

“What ‘Explosive Flame Envoy’! What over 100 million bounty! I only have 20 million! When you were on the ship, your reputation was higher than mine! I am very jealous, I am very jealous!”

Seeing that Sharp was gradually losing his mind, George took out the pistol from his waist, aimed it between his eyebrows, and grinned. “Do you think I would really pick you up at that time? No, if you hadn’t been caught by the Marines at that time, you would have starved to death on that island! That island is an island with no sea route at all. In the end, you would have died there.”

“In the end, you were caught by the Marines. I thought that this matter would be over, but you contacted me again last year. I was going to charge into Sabaody Archipelago again, thinking that I could use your name to recruit some powerful pirates and find a chance to throw you down again.”

“But what I didn’t expect was that the Marines here began to clean up. I can only use you first. Who knew that you are still so stupid. I will tell you the truth, Olex Sharp, you are just a one-time fuel in my eyes! When it is used up, you are useless! What hero, what big pirate, they are all fake, that is all a lie, I will now expose the true face of a liar!”

George was about to pull the trigger.

‘Sir Sharpe!’

Suddenly there was a roar behind him and Soros broke away from the dogfight and ran straight towards George, knocking him over Sharpe.

“Sir Sharpe, don’t be bewitched by that man, you have always been the best!”

Soros shouted, “It was you who told me the wonders of the sea and you who taught us how to survive better. Have you forgotten what kind of days we had before you came!”

… .

“Lord Orax Sharp! My name is Soros, the child you saved six years ago!”

“Ah… Have I saved you before? Forget it, anyway, thank you for taking me away from the Marines. This is… Area 0.”

… .

“What kind of place do you live in? Are you going to squeeze in this tree hole for six years? Yarkiman Red Tree can produce good bubbles. Why don’t you collect some materials to build a tree house? This way, you will live more comfortably.”

… .

“What? You don’t contact those companions? That’s not good. Let me tell you, whether it’s sailing at sea or surviving on land, companions are very important. Well… let me try. Didn’t you say that I’m very prestigious? Let me help you, as your payment for saving me.”

… .

“The sea? The sea is very magnificent. Hahahaha, when there is a chance in the future, I, Olex Sharp, will take you out to sea. But now you want to exercise, especially you Soros, look at how thin you are. If you don’t exercise well, you are not qualified to go to sea with me.”

… .

The image was still vivid in his mind. Soros gripped the long gun in one hand and roared at Sharpe. “Olex Sharpe, didn’t you want to take me to sea!!!”

These words made Sharp, who was in a daze, shudder and his dead eyes showed a slight fluctuation. He wiped the blood on his face and straightened his body. “I still have to take you to sea…”

“That’s right! You’re going to take me and us to sea! That pirate is nothing! You are the most amazing! If there has to be a Captain, then you are the Captain! Pull yourself together, Captain! We are now… in a crisis!!!” Soros roared.

Sharp stared at Soros, then turned to look at the slaves who were entangled with Marines and pirates and gradually retreating. Whether they were men or women, young or old, they were all holding weapons. If they had no weapons, they would use their fists. Even if they were beaten down, no one looked afraid.

They are actually very weak. They are not strong.

It was because of his reminder that they were trained within this year and now they can have such a scale of resistance.

It was his doing.

These people were all thanks to him.

So can he …

Bang!!

The gunshot drowned out the sound of the fierce battle. At this moment, the air was almost still.

Soros immediately turned his head and looked at the shadow of the pellet, stunned on the spot.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of him.

Sharp opened his hands and faced Soros, letting the bullet penetrate his back and dye his heart red.

“Sharpe … Sir?”

Soros stared at Sharpe, his lips trembling.

Sharpe smiled at him and leaned forward on Soros’s shoulder.

“Soros… I’m sorry, I’m really not a hero like you think.”

“No, Lord Sharpe, you are, you always will be.” Soros subconsciously let go of the wooden gun and his trembling hand supported Sharpe as tears fell. “Lord Sharpe…”

“Don’t talk…”

Sharpe smiled. “I, I really can’t… Soros, I’m very grateful to you. Actually… I’m very confused. I saved you seven years ago. It was just a coincidence. I didn’t have that kind of thought at the time.”

“When I couldn’t contact the Captain, I thought about simply dying… It was you, it was you who gave me motivation at that time. It was me who deceived you and made you all come here… Even now, I still want to go back to the Captain.”

“But, you said I was a hero…”

“Heroes have to be sacrificed…”

He straightened up with great effort, reached out with his bloody hand and touched Soros’s hand. “You will replace my will.”

“I have no right to carry such a heavy thing, but you… you can, Soros, you are stronger than me, if, I am your hero…”

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he smiled at Soros. “That hero, at least do something heroic. Although it doesn’t seem to have much impact, taking a bullet for you… is the best I can do.”

“I… am just a nobody, a nobody. I am already very satisfied to be able to do something I am willing to do in this life…”

“People like me can also be useful…”

He bared his teeth and his eyes suddenly widened as he pushed Soros back with all his might. “Run! Then, go to sea!!!”

The moment he pushed Soros away, his body fell back and he fell to the ground. The hand left Soros and spread towards the sky.

… .

“Hey, little Sharp, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?”

“Me? Huh? I want to be a hero!”

The snot-nosed child said with a look of yearning.

… .

“This… can be considered a hero.”

With a smile, he fell heavily to the ground and stopped breathing.
