Great Routes.

In an unknown island town.

“Lily, send this jug of wine to the old man.”

Inside the tavern, a middle-aged woman handed a wine jug full of wine to a thirteen-year-old girl named Lily.

“Is it Grandpa Kearns?” Lily took the wine jug, her eyes shining with starlight.

With a doting smile, the middle-aged woman caressed Lili’s head and said, “Yes, it’s the Grandpa Kearns who often tells you stories.” ”

“It’s the old Kearns drunkard who often drinks without giving money, and only pays on credit.” It was also at this moment that an untimely voice came.

The middle-aged woman and Lily both turned their heads and looked.

Then I saw a little boy walking over with his hands around his chest.

“Brother.” Lily whispered.

The middle-aged woman on the side reminded: “Light! You are rude to do so. ”

Told by his mother, although Light glanced over his head with some disbelief, he didn’t say much.

Lily looked at Wright and blinked, and asked, “Brother, do you want to go too?” ”

“Nope! I don’t want to…” Lighter paused, then coughed dryly.

“Ahem! Seeing that your little girl doesn’t want to return the wine money, I will reluctantly accompany you to it!” ”

——

On the edge of town, in a log cabin.

Over half a hundred years old, Kanes, who had gray hair, stumbled to a table.

His face was ugly, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he seemed to be suffering great pain.

With trembling hands and pulling open the drawer, Kearns took out a bottle of painkillers, poured out a few tablets and swallowed them one by one.

“Gollum~”

After doing this, Kearns propped up the table and sat down on the ground little by little.

After a long pause, Kearns felt that the pain in his body eased a lot.

Standing up again, Kearns looked at his weak and miserable face in the mirror, and laughed silently.

Then, he opened the drawer again and took out a bandage and a jar of ointment.

Moving a chair, he landed in front of the mirror.

Remove the top.

Kearns’ emaciated body is revealed.

Along with this, several scars on his body were revealed.

And the bandage that wrapped around the abdomen and waist.

Kearns skillfully undid the bandage, little by little.

Soon, the horrible scar hidden under the bandage was also revealed.

I saw the right half of Kanes’ lower abdomen, as if a large piece was missing.

The whole block was twisted and collapsed!

With a skin-like body and a hideous wound, it is hard to imagine how Kearns lived to this age.

Looking at this horrific wound and silent for a long time, Kearns said leisurely.

“It seems that I don’t have much time left…”

Applying new ointment and wrapping new bandages, Kearns put on his shirt, packed up his things and left in front of the mirror.

Soon after.

Kearns came to sit down in the shade of the trees, enjoying the breeze and drinking a little wine.

I began to enjoy this peace.

It wasn’t until a childish cry sounded that this calm was broken.

“Grandpa Kearns, I’m here to bring you wine~”

Turn your head and look in the direction where the voice came from.

Kearns saw two small children running towards him.

“It’s Lily!”

Kearns’ face showed a kind smile and called softly.

“Wine, Grandpa Kearns.” Lily smiled and handed the wine to Kearns.

“Hard work on you.” Kearns took the wine and gently rubbed Lily’s little head.

“It’s not hard, but I like Grandpa Kearns very much.” Lily smiled.

But after she said this, her big eyes looked at Karns with an expectant look in her eyes.

“Grandpa Kearns, tell me about the story you didn’t finish last time?”

Kanes was stunned slightly, and couldn’t help laughing: “You little girl, how do you like to listen to this kind of thing?” ”

At this time, Wright, who was behind Lily, also quietly got closer.

But he had his back to Kearns.

“I like it because it’s funny!” Lily looked at Kearns and said of course.

Then he saw her sit down next to Kearns and gestured.

“When I grow up, I’m going to be in the navy and arrest all those bad guys.”

Kearns, who heard Lily’s words, couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

“That’s very dangerous, there are many strong people on the sea, and fighting is very painful.”

When Lili heard this, she immediately hesitated about her dream.

But soon, she picked herself up again.

“When I grow up, I won’t be afraid of pain.”

Kearns burst out laughing.

“Haha, if Lily goes to sea, Grandpa Kearns and I will be bored.”

“Yes.” Lily thought thoughtfully, but soon she smiled and said, “Then I’ll wait for Grandpa Kearns to go to sea when he is gone!” ”

Kearns was slightly startled.

The laughter was a little louder.

“Haha…”

It was also at this time that Wright coughed twice and reminded; “Old man, aren’t you going to tell Lily a story?”

Kearns turned his head and glared: “Stinky boy, no big or small, how can you talk to the elders?” ”

“Grandpa Kearns~” Lily called softly.

When Kearns heard this, he turned his head and said with a smile on his face: “Okay, okay.” ”

Light glanced at Kearns with some disdain and complained: “Ah~ you bad old man.” ”

Unimpressed, Kearns asked, “Where did you talk about it last time?” ”

“The Pirates are preparing to enter the Valley of the Gods.” Wright continued.

“Valley of the Gods….. Is it? Hearing this name, Kearns couldn’t help but fall into deep memories.

After a moment, I saw him smile self-deprecatingly.

He said with a long breath.

“The entire Pirates began to go to the Valley of the Gods, and the deputy captain thought that everything was under control, that knowing the future would change it.”

“It’s a pity that it backfired, he was wrong, he was very wrong.”

“There, the pirates fought a big war with the navy, but not long after this huge war began, things went beyond the deputy captain’s expectations.”

“His crew, just like the future he saw, defected from the pirates, defected from him!”

“Nothing he has done has been effective on those crew members with ghosts in their hearts!”

“He failed to change the future.”

“The crew has also left!”

“But the deputy captain was entangled and could not get out of the battlefield.”

“Then, the captain of the Pirate Regiment died in battle, and the deputy captain was also seriously injured.”

“That’s the end of the story.”

After speaking, a faint smile appeared on Kanes’s face.

However, Wright seemed to have some hesitation.

“Didn’t you say that the deputy captain was seriously injured? He’s not dead, is he? ”

Kearns turned to look at Wright, then looked at the sky thoughtfully.

“Not dead.”
