Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"You're still able to maintain consciousness despite such a severe attack... You little girl, you're not an ordinary human, are you?"

"You are a special race like Jhin, right?"

Faced with Big Mom's question, Ossi did not answer, or rather, she was unable to answer at all now.

The intense pain and the constant feeling of weakness in her body left her without the strength to even cry out. She could only try her best to maintain her posture while using her divine power to repair her body.

Seeing Oshi like this, Big Mom didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, you've already conveyed what that brat Kaido meant, and I did what he wanted. This matter ends here."

"And it's time for this farce to end."

Big Mom let go of her hand, and Napoleon spun in the air before changing back into a captain's hat and landing on top of her head.

"As for what's next, it's time to discuss the alliance."

……

Just as Osi had guessed before, Kaido had the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Big Mom.

However, the reason why she was asked to pick a fight and beat up Big Mom's sons was not because it was for the beasts to dominate the next alliance as Oshi thought.

On the contrary, Kaido did this to prevent Big Mom, the domineering woman, from seizing the initiative in the alliance.

What he wanted was to take advantage of the potential shown by Oshi, and through this "promising future" combat power, he would increase the originally disadvantaged position of the Beasts to a position on par with the Big Mom Pirates.

At least we can't be led by Big Mom like the last alliance.

……

Of course, there is another more important reason, which is that Kaido wants to use Big Mom to give Ossi a good beating.

As for the reason~

"Kid, you seem to have quite special powers targeting the soul level. Perhaps this is why you are angry about how I created Homies."

"But I have to tell you, this is 'Wan Guo', it's my kingdom!"

"I can do whatever I want!"

"Because I'm strong enough to protect this place with absolute power."

"You think extracting other people's souls is unbearable, but here, every month, every day, countless people beg me to extract them."

"Compared to the cruel world outside, here they can enjoy peace and food and clothing by simply sacrificing some of their lives. Shouldn't they be grateful to me?!"

Big Mom squatted down and pinched Ossi's face with two fingers so that she could look at her.

Two pairs of pupils, one large and one small, looked at each other, and Big Mom said seriously:

"Little girl, there's nothing wrong with wanting others to follow your rules. After all, this is what everyone thinks."

"But before that, this ocean, this world, had a fundamental law: the strong make the rules, and the weak can only obey."

"You want to make your own rules and have others follow them...Okay!"

"With power, with a power greater than anyone else! A power so powerful that it can rewrite the rules for everyone else in this sea at will!"

"do you understand?"

Big Mom stared into those childish golden eyes and injected the most simple values ​​of the ocean into Ossi's mind.

"As for you, you're far from qualified to interfere with my rules."

"This era now belongs to me, Charlotte Lingling!"

After saying all this, Big Mom waved her hand and casually threw Oshi in a certain direction of the field.

call out--

Thump~

After flying over a not-so-far distance, Ossi was gently pulled into his arms.

Looking at the little face in his arms filled with pain and confusion, La did not offer any comfort but simply placed his hand on her chest.

The golden flames began to spread and quickly repaired Osi's body.

The warm flames felt very comfortable on her body, and Osi's brows soon relaxed, but her voice was still a little weak.

"..."

"La, La sister..."

"Ah."

"Is it really...is it really like what that pink lady said?"

Ossi's voice was rarely confused.

"Um……"

"Which one do you mean?"

"If you're talking about an alliance, then the current situation is indeed similar to what Captain Kaido expected."

Although there was the unexpected event of the Roger Pirates, in terms of the result this was indeed what Kaido wanted.

"If you're referring to the 'power first' value that Lady Charlotte just mentioned..."

"Well... force is indeed the most direct and most effective tool, but it's just a tool in the end. Use it when it's appropriate, and put it aside when it's not. That's all."

"Just don't get caught up in the extremes of total use of force and total non-use of force."

La stopped talking, she didn't want to impose her own views on Ossi any further.

This is also where she and Kaido disagree.

The two had a tacit understanding on the matter of "letting Big Mom beat Ossi up", but Ra and Kaido's starting points and final results were completely different.

For Kaido, he wants Osi to give up the naive idea of ​​"equality of all life" and instead believe in the values ​​of "survival of the fittest and supremacy of force" like him.

But Ra was different.

La actually doesn't care what Osi's values ​​will become. All she wants is for Osi to experience a real collision of values.

……

As for why the two of them don't do it themselves...

On the one hand, Kaido is not very good at preaching. If you ask him to teach you how to flow with armament color and domineering color, you can learn it by wrapping him with a few sticks.

But if you ask him to talk about those profound truths, although he can barely squeeze out a few words, as for the effect...

hmm~

Anyway, Osi always listens in one ear and out the other. Sometimes when he gets tired of listening, he will even say something back at you, which makes him so angry that his liver hurts.

The most important thing is that every time Kaido wants to rely on path dependence and use a stick to make her "listen carefully", this guy just pats his butt and walks away when he sees that he can't beat her.

Qinggong doesn't equal martial arts, and speed doesn't represent strength, but Osi runs really fast.

……

As for La, Ossi was willing to listen to what she said, and even listened very seriously.

But she didn't want Ossi to be bound by her words. As an older sister, she hoped that her younger sister could forge her own path.

Moreover, although her current values ​​may be far from being completely inhuman, they are definitely not close to the values ​​that normal humans should have in a broad sense.

It's okay to ask La Ping to regulate Osi and the others' living habits, but if you really ask her to be a psychological counselor, who knows what she will teach them.

……

In short, in this awkward situation of "not listening when talking and not talking when listening", Kaido and La began to tacitly look for someone who was truly suitable to teach Osi.

Someone who is better than Ossi and can make her hate him.

After all, she can't be persuaded by those who are weaker than her, and she will lose her temper with those who are too close to her...

Just like some children, they act like emperors at home, but immediately behave themselves when facing their teachers at school.

Similarly, only those people who Osi hates from the bottom of his heart and is unwilling to escape from him, that is, those who are fundamentally opposed to him, are the most suitable.

And it just so happens that Kaido knows one such person, and he is quite familiar with that person~

……

La looked at Ossi's somewhat vacant golden eyes and said calmly:

"In my opinion, this time, in the final analysis, I just want you to see what other people think of the value and the world."

"As for whether you want to identify with them and move closer to them...it's ultimately up to you to decide."

Chapter 204 Right and Wrong and Growth

A certain priest, also with blond hair, once said:

“A person will experience three stages of growth in his life.

The first time is to understand the right and wrong of things;

The second time was to understand that some things are not just right or wrong;

The third time was when I realized that some things are neither right nor wrong, but I still firmly did what I believed in and took responsibility for it.

Generally speaking, although not everyone can experience the complete three stages of growth, everyone will experience it once or twice in a long life.

But Osi was different. She was walking well on the road of life, but suddenly she was kicked back to the starting point.

And when she got up and looked up again... Where had Zhou come from? Was this still China?

Not only does she have to face a brand new world, she also has to face a brand new self. Now, let alone path dependence, she can't even find the way.

Fortunately, after a year of exploration and seeing all kinds of people and things, Osi, this new life, finally found his new "right and wrong".

And the journey was indeed smooth sailing. He helped the dead souls to be reincarnated and brought the dreams of mortals to the sky... Osi's "right and wrong" did affect those people.

But that's about it.

In the final analysis, whether it is the pirates who witnessed Osi's salvation or the ordinary people who cannot reach Sky Island on their own, although they are older than Osi, they are left behind by Osi on the road to growth.

They just saw Ossi walking in front and instinctively followed.

Now, there is finally someone walking ahead of Osi, and the path the other person is walking on is different from Osi's. This is undoubtedly something unacceptable to her.

[Is my path wrong? Is hers right?]

[Will the road I'm walking on be cut off someday?]

What is the meaning of my journey?

"Hey, Sister La, can you tell me the answer?"

Osi looked at La with hope, hoping to get her approval, but all he got was a slight shake of his head from La.

"I've already told you, Ossi, this time is just to give you a good look at the path others are taking."

“Don’t worry about right or wrong. Life is a wilderness. You can go wherever you want. What really matters is leaving the footprints you want.”

This is a course without a teacher, and the final exam is a blank paper with no standard answers.

Anyone who can write their name boldly and confidently will qualify.

……

"Mmmm~Mmmm~"

"What a miraculous ability! This kid is fine so quickly."

Seeing Ossi jumping around again after a while, Big Mom couldn't help but become curious about Ra's golden flame.

Unlike Ossi who was treated as a child, Big Mom placed Ra on the same level as herself from the very beginning.

She knew very well that the little golden girl in front of her would be the one who would sit at the negotiating table with her.

"It's just some trivial tricks, not worth mentioning."

"Hmm~ I see."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Big Mom didn't bother to continue and got down to business.

"Speaking of which, how are you going to pay for this kid's 'tuition'? The cost I'm going to pay for it is more than just a small amount of gold can cover."

"Beast Heavy Industry will receive 10% of the profits from sales in the New World, plus 30% of the profits from future sales in the Four Seas and Paradise."
