Lida was startled by the sight of Saria getting up. "He was hit by Clow Reed's ultimate technique, and not only did he not turn into a bloody mess, he can actually stand up?"
Kro adjusted his glasses. "The vitality of mythical beasts, huh? They're really strong."
"Ha ha..."
My calves are shaking.
The spine is groaning.
Every cell in my body is rupturing and dying.
Salya was hunched over, panting heavily, his hands resting on his knees. Large clumps of blood fell down his body, like thickened mud, probably because it was mixed with other substances.
His five fingers were slowly opening, as if they were bound by some heavy object.
A platinum spear materialized in his palm and was held in his hand.
Whoosh!
The spear was raised, pointing directly at Kuro. Saria raised his head, ignoring the increasing blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and resolutely uttered: "I will save the world."
"Tsk."
Kuro clicked his tongue. "The world is still a child. Don't be so cruel to it. What did it do wrong that it needs you to save it?"
His ultimate technique is not so easy to withstand. Although Saria was not turned into mincemeat, he only withstood the impact of his mythical beast body. All the connection points in his body, including his bones, should have been shattered.
I can still stand up...
"Willpower? How astonishing..."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist with his right hand, and with a whoosh, a black light flashed as he seized Qiushui, baring his teeth and saying, "What kind of hellish willpower is this?!"
Whoosh!
He dodged in mid-air, leaving a black trail as he rushed towards Salia and slashed down with his sword.
Saria stared intently at Kuro, and in his pupils, Kuro's slightly ferocious figure gradually merged with a somewhat unfamiliar one.
The same unbridled nature, the same power reflected in the eyes of others...
Thirty years ago, Salya looked just like this.
...
[The Great Sin] Saria was not a Devil Fruit user at all thirty years ago; he was just a pirate who committed all sorts of evil deeds, including burning, killing, and looting.
Flames, ruins, wails, and sneers.
"Spare me, spare my life..."
A wounded civilian grabbed an ankle and pleaded.
laugh!
Soon, a knife was plunged into his head.
"whispering sound."
Young Salia drew his sword, slung it over his shoulder, and grinned menacingly at the nearby pirates: "Hey, you guys, search thoroughly and don't leave a single piece of treasure behind!"
"Ooh!!" The pirates' shouts, mixed with the sound of burning flames, sounded unusually frenzied.
Ferocious, unrestrained, and powerful—that's how he is perceived by ordinary people.
His constant killing and robbing eventually earned him a bounty of over 300 million Berries, making him a thorn in the side of the Navy.
Then he was arrested...
Until one day, a riot broke out in Impeldown, where only one person in history had ever escaped, and they finally had a chance to escape, with Salya among them.
But by the time he reached eighty years old, he could no longer adapt to the increasingly harsh sea and had no choice but to drift to an island to prepare for a new life.
However, because of his status as an outsider, he was not well received by the local residents, and he had no intention of having anything to say to them. Although he was too old to sail the seas, he could still raid a few towns.
It's not like you can't just make a quick buck, then find another place to be rich.
...
It was a snowy day, and Salya, huddled in a corner of a house, preparing to seize an opportunity to commit murder and robbery, met her for the first time.
The little girl with long, light blue hair.
"Hey grandpa, here you go."
The little girl held the rice ball in her hands and gently offered it to Salia.
"Get out of here, you brat." The hoarse voice was filled with endless malice, and at the same time, he began to tighten his grip, preparing to crush this ungrateful little thing to death.
"Eat up, you should eat when you're hungry. I've seen the old man come for two days and he's been eating snow and stuff, which isn't good for his health. This is something I made myself."
With a smile on her face, she showed no disgust at the dirt on Saria's body, and took Saria's hand with one hand, placing the rice ball in his hand.
That smile remained unchanged, without disdain, pretense, or even pity or sympathy; it was simply a pure smile, the gentlest and most innocent kindness in the world.
At that moment, Saliyah hesitated.
He did not make a move.
Later, the little girl came here every day to deliver rice balls, and they became more and more familiar with each other. Eventually, they even took her to their home. On that day, the little girl happily said that she finally had a 'grandpa'.
grandfather...
His life stopped at Saliah, who lived only twenty or thirty years ago. He didn't even have children, yet he went straight to being a grandfather.
He felt very awkward about this.
Especially since this little girl is an orphan whose parents died in a pirate raid, the house she lives in, although she keeps it very tidy, is still very simple.
Why should someone who is completely unrelated to you help others when you yourself are struggling so much?
"Why?" Salia asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Huh? Why?"
The little girl tilted her head and said matter-of-factly, "If someone is in trouble, they need help. There's no need for so many questions. I have the ability to help others, but you, Grandpa, lack help, so it's normal for me to help you."
This statement sounds so righteous and upright, without a trace of ulterior motive.
