One Piece: The Long Road

v6 Chapter 45: meet 5 old stars

In the modern era, how many people who go to sea will name the boat they sit on. When the dream fades and the shell is peeled off like a chestnut, such a custom has become dispensable.

Most of the people who go to sea are no longer those who hold pure dreams, and most of them are only for the desires in their hearts, so this is a pirate.

"The oath, let's call it the oath."

Simon stood on the bow, looking at the red earth continent in front of him, his body was as straight as a benchmark, and his right hand was caressing his heart.

"pledge?"

Everyone on the deck was slightly stunned, looking at Simon's back and actions, but no one said anything right.

What is the special meaning of this name?

Except for Lilith and Liliu, the only people who felt the weight of this name more or less.

"pledge…"

Yuna's purple eyes trembled slightly, her hand that was always on the handle of the knife suddenly tightened, she lowered her head slightly and didn't know what she was thinking. Like Simon, caress the heart.

Tyre took a few steps back, leaned on the railing, and stared at the red clay continent where he couldn't see the top. After a long time, his eyes shifted, and he cast his gaze on Simon's back. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his right hand to caress his heart.

Ren, who was in a daze, raised his eyelids slightly, as if he had woken up from sleep. There was a very serious light in his eyes, and the expression on his face was very serious. Suddenly, he handed the longbow to his left hand, then raised his right hand and stroked it. at the heart.

Most people are wondering what the meaning of this name is, but there are also a few people who really feel for this name, a feeling that is not expressed in words and actions.

So, gradually, everyone made such a gesture of unknown significance, stroking their right hand at the heart.

After a day's voyage, the Oath rushed into the ocean currents of the Red Continent and came to the Holy Land Mary Joa.

It will take some time for the approved instructions to be approved, and during this time, Simon needs to meet several people.

The Five Old Stars, the highest decision makers in the government, have supreme power.

Walking on the ornately decorated aisle, Simon has been thinking about why the top decision makers of the government have named him to see him. He has thought about this question for a long time, but there is no such thing as a reason.

Following the footsteps of the person leading the way, Simon calmly came to a luxurious and gorgeous hall. In that hall, there was a person, to be precise, a sturdy middle-aged man.

"Long time no see, Snod Simon." The man in a tight suit smiled slightly and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. When we first met, my name is... Ligheight Handy. "

Simon couldn't help raising his brows when he heard the words, carefully observing the man with the scar on his forehead, his eyes closed slightly, and many thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant.

In his memory, Simon was sure that he had never seen this man, but what the man said had not been seen for a long time...

Also, the surname of Ligheite... If I remember correctly, it is one of the surnames of one of the Five Old Stars, so speaking, the man in front of him is probably related to the Five Old Stars.

"Don't feel restrained. If you remember, the person who reported the appointment in Alabasta is the next."

Handy said with a smile, if it weren't for the scar on his forehead and his slightly rough face, he would have been a well-mannered gentleman.

"Oh it's you."

Simon was suddenly startled, thinking of the man who made the call in Alabasta, his mind changed, could it be that the Five Old Stars have paid attention to him since then?

As if seeing what Simon was thinking, Handy smiled: "It turns out that the vision above is indeed excellent, and the speed of your growth cannot be ignored. You have proved to us that you have enough chips to contact us, then, next The meeting will give you a chance to make a choice.”

"What should I do..."

Handy's smile gradually faded, his left index finger gently stroked his right index finger, and said lightly in an emotionless tone: "Maybe it will be something to look forward to, isn't it? When a person stands and knows all the situation, What kind of choices will you make when you know everything about the situation? Even if you are facing an iron wall or a barrier, will you still use your own head to collide desperately?"

"Snold Simon."

No longer the elegant smile before, Handy looked at Simon indifferently, and said coldly: "Just as you don't know the weight of the surname Ligheit, you also don't know the special meaning of the surname Snod, so let me Let me see what choice you will make with this surname, this is really something that is extremely exciting, when you stand in a place that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, your thoughts and wills will be different!"

Simon stared coldly at Handy who had a big conversation, his eyes clearly imprinted Handy's previous gestures in his mind, and his ears clearly recorded Handy's previous words in his mind.

Although I don't know what the situation will be like this time, it is easy to see that the meeting named by the Five Old Stars is full of crises...

No, to be precise, a crisis of choice.

But... so what?

"When you're done, take me to see the Five Old Stars." Simon said lightly.

Handy, who was a little gaffe with excitement, looked slightly startled, and then calmly sorted out his appearance, as if he wanted to throw away the previous gaffe in the process of sorting out. In the process, Handy's face showed a gentleman again. smile.

"Please excuse your gaffe, but before that, I would like to ask Lieutenant General Simon a question."

"I don't have this..."

Simon smiled coldly~lightnovelpub.net~ was interrupted halfway through his words.

"Handy, don't do something meaningless."

Right in front of the hall, there is a main staircase. At the middle end of the main staircase, three steps extend to the second floor. At the middle end of the main staircase, there are five old people standing.

The speaker was an old man with curly hair wearing a plain black hat and holding a cane in both hands.

Handy turned around suddenly, looked at the five old men standing at the middle of the stairs in surprise, then turned his head slightly, frowned and glanced at Simon, who had a dull expression.

"Is it underestimated? How important this man is in the hearts of the old men."

Handy shrugged and smiled, and said lightly to the old man who was talking before, that is, his father: "I can't believe that you would come out to greet the old man, so the conversation should be held here, right?"

The old man, one of the Five Old Stars, who was holding a cane, glanced at Han Di with a stern look, and he stopped the latter from smiling.

"Really..."

Han Di sighed softly, and understood that his father meant to let him go. Because of his previous talk, he couldn't see the result of this conversation with his own eyes. Dee knows this.

Bowing deeply towards the five old men, Handy turned and left without any pause.

"Five Old Stars!"

Simon frowned coldly and looked up at the five old men standing on the stairs.

"Boom."

Ligheit Edel lifted the crutches in his hand slightly, then stopped on the ground, and then said lightly, "First of all, you must know our names."
