Fitzgerald was just walking forward mechanically. He didn't even know whether he was alive or dead now.

Everything becomes distant and distant.

Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago.

At that time, he was still in the South China Sea, the Coral Sea, and the Solot Islands.

The Coral Sea is sunny all year round and rarely rains, so the flowers on the Solot Islands bloom very well. At noon, the sunlight shines on the flowers, like dazzling glass.

He likes to go out for outings on those sunny days, bringing a drawing board and fine wine.

Painting was his biggest hobby when he was a boy. Originally, his dream when he was young was to become an outstanding painter.

He also met Daisy, a girl who was brighter than flowers, while sketching on a sunny afternoon.

He liked to draw flowers, but that afternoon, he only drew her.

Daisy also noticed him because of that painting.

Thinking of Daisy, he couldn't help but think of those spring breeze-blown afternoons. He would often secretly take a boat to the island where Daisy's home was located, and secretly watch her outside the garden of Daisy's home under the pretext of painting.

, when she discovered it, she shyly walked away pretending that nothing happened.

I really miss those days.

I really miss the time I spent traveling with Daisy, the first time I held her hand, the first time we got wet together in the rain, the first time I tasted the taste of a girl’s lips, and the first time I put a ring on her with care and kindness.

Excitement, and the joy of hearing her promise to be with him for the first time.

Those teenage years.

The wonderful Fitzgerald even felt that everything he was experiencing now was fake, a dream, just a fugue during his nap. When he woke up, he was still in the family house on the Solot Islands in the Coral Sea.

, sleeping on that big soft bed.

And his girl is waiting for him to take a boat to see her on an island not far from him.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand, trying to grab something.

However, when I caught it, it was all empty.

The moment he caught the chance, his whole body shook, and it also touched the wounds all over his body. The severe pain did not drag him back to reality, but instead led him into deeper memories.

Those painful memories would drive him crazy just thinking about them.

That night, the sea breeze was intoxicating and the stars were shy.

That night was supposed to be the night of his proposal, the best time for him and his girl.

But it was completely infected by blood and gunfire.

Those sudden pirates, those sudden killings.

The pride that I thought I could control everything was completely shattered.

Daisy, who was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, was wantonly insulted by them.

In order to survive, I crawled on the deck like a dog, begging them to let me live.

In the end, he personally inserted the knife into Daisy's chest and pushed her from the boat into the sea.

Blood, a lot of blood.

Fitzgerald fell to his knees in pain, roared in pain, and seemed to be vomiting, as if he wanted to vomit out his soul.

He can't get out.

————————

Arthur Royer also felt that he could not get out.

That rain.

That rain happened seven years ago.

In the stormy month of 1630, a cold rain fell in the Sedeng Sea area of ​​the South China Sea.

In that cold rain, he lost his two most important brothers forever.

So every year in the Storm Moon, when it rains, he can always hear his brother's voice.

They were saying, it hurts so much, Arthur, we don't want to die.

So for seven years, even if he did almost nothing, he still wanted to catch and kill the person who caused everything.

Fitzgerald, the source of all evil.

At this moment, he was right in front, kneeling on the ground, as if he could no longer run.

Arthur Royer grasped the changed form of Crime and Punishment in his hand, quickened his pace, rushed forward, and thrust the strange-shaped knife in his hand toward Fitzgerald's back.

At that moment, he seemed to see his brother nodding to him from a distance.

Rod, Harlan, you can rest in peace!

The knife smoothly penetrated Fitzgerald's back of the heart, making a muffled sound that was almost like penetrating through silk.

Fitzgerald didn't seem to feel anything. On the contrary, the ferocious flesh and blood on his body reacted. Like the last struggle before death, they surged towards Arthur Royer and wrapped around him.

Arthur Royer didn't care at all. He pressed the knife deeper and strangled Fitzgerald's neck with his other hand.

It was only then that Fitzgerald seemed to react and turned back to look at him.

That moment was extremely long.

Arthur Royer seemed to feel the rain falling all around him again.

What Fitzgerald saw was Daisy. She was standing aside covered in blood, wearing the wedding dress he had carefully prepared. There was no longer a look of resentment on her face, she just stretched out her hand towards him calmly. He held his hand, as if to say: Come on, come with me.

Daisy, have you forgive me...

Fitzgerald couldn't help but stretched out his hand again.

There was a violent roar of "Peng——" and smoke was everywhere.

The fiery lead bullet completely tore Fitzgerald's head off.

Red Hat's life has come to an end.

Arthur Royer, who was about to be strangled to death by those flesh and blood tentacles, became relieved and fainted.

As Red Hat died, the flesh and blood on his body began to wither quickly.

Li Jiu stood aside, and the last thing he saw was Fitzgerald's almost relieved smile.

In fact, Fitzgerald was also a very poor man.

But it doesn't matter anymore, everyone is dead anyway.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Sword of Damocles that had been hanging above his head was once again shattered by his own hands.

He felt more relaxed than ever before, and he almost didn't fall down. Fortunately, Mi Dou was standing beside him.

He supported Mi Dou and quickly took off the helmet of command from his head. If he wore it again, something would happen to him.

After taking off the helmet, a series of system prompts followed.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully killing Red Hat Fitzgerald and successfully saving himself from defeat. I hereby award 30 navigation certificates."

"Because you killed Fitzgerald, you triggered the special effect of [Gunfire Negotiation (Exquisite)], and obtained fifty gold pounds and a platinum treasure chest."

The rewards are quite generous.

But this is also the result of Li Jiu's hard work. He spent a lot of effort to achieve the current results.

He deserves it.

He just doesn't know what good things this platinum treasure chest can give him this time.

While leaning on Mi Dou, Li Jiu opened this warm new box in his mind.
