One Piece: Dark Sky

Tiger couldn't feel his body, but when he opened his eyes, it was pitch black.

"It's so dark in front of me, is it in the underworld?"

Tiger thought.

But after a while Tiger's vision recovered, and in front of him was the familiar ceiling of the captain's cabin.

"Strange, I should have lost too much blood and died, how could..."

Tiger subconsciously put his hand on his body and touched it, but what he touched was indeed layer after layer of bandages.

"Could it be..."

Tiger seemed to realize something, and immediately jumped off the bed and pushed open the door of the captain's cabin.

"Al... Din..."

Just as Tiger was about to call out Aladdin to ask what was going on, he saw Barn, with Fitz on his head and a knife in his arms, sitting on the mast, "watching" himself.

"woke up?"

Bane asked lightly.

"Ah, what the hell..."

"I injected you with human blood."

Tiger heard Bahn asking himself, nodded briefly, and was about to ask, but was choked back by Bahn's next sentence.

"What!"

Hearing Bahn's words, Tiger seemed to hear something shocking, his eyes stared like two copper bells.

"Why! I have clearly explained it! I don't need it!"

The excited Tiger even pulled out a dagger from the back of his waist, and was about to stab himself in the heart!

However, Bane, who didn't know when he got up, grabbed his hand holding the knife.

Bahn smiled and 'looked' at Tiger.

But the smile of Bahn fell into Tiger's eyes at this time, but it was so disgusting. Tiger's hand holding the knife was still exerting force, but it was stopped by Bahn's greater strength.

"Don't waste your energy, it's not so easy to want to die in front of me."

Bahn still said this with a smile.

Tiger raised his head to look at Bahne's face, staring with his eyes wide open for a long time, but in the end his eyes became dodged, and he didn't dare to look at Bahne's eyes that had long been invisible.

"Yeah, it's ironic that even death has become difficult for me in front of Bahn."

Tiger laughed to himself.

Bane naturally also noticed Tiger's mood swings. Although he couldn't see it, he could clearly see Tiger's psychology just now. When Bane grabbed Tiger's hand at first, Tiger There was a strong hostility on his figure, but now it became intermittent, Bane knew that Tiger was shaken.

Bahn felt that the strength of Tiger's hand holding the knife was gradually decreasing, and he had no suicidal thoughts for the time being, so he let go of Tiger's hand.

"Boom."

The knife in Tiger's hand fell to the ground, and his hands hung down. He lowered his head deeply, as if he was very disappointed.

Bahn put his hand on Tiger's shoulder, took out another jar of wine from his arms and said.

"Okay, do you want to chat? There is wine."

"Um."

Tiger was in a mess right now and needed someone to talk to, so he didn't refuse Bahn's invitation and nodded.

The two came to the bow of the Sun Pirate Ship, Barn handed the wine to Tiger, and then leaned on the railing of the ship, 'looking' at the dark night sky.

Tiger took the wine from Bahn, without saying much, just took a big gulp, slapped the wine jar on the railing after drinking, and looked at Bahn suspiciously.

"My favorite thing to do as a captain at the beginning was to look at the night sky. Although I couldn't see it, it was easy for me to think about things or people in this state."

Bahn took the wine jar next to him, took a sip and said.

"Oh! Barn, you should know..."

Tiger was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bahn again.

Bahn handed the wine jar to Tiger, and said.

"I know, tell me your reason."

Tiger didn't make a sound when he heard Bahn's question, but ended up pouring the wine jar handed over by Bahn with his neck up. As soon as he was lost in the sea, he also lay on the railing of the boat.

He glanced at Bahn next to him, and then set his eyes on the sea. Looking at the waves on the sea, Tiger, a strong man, shed tears...

He gritted his teeth and said.

"My identity in Fishman Island is an adventurer, but during my last adventure, I was caught not long after I left..."

Tiger's tone paused, glanced at the expressionless Bahn beside him, and continued to speak with a sob.

"I was imprisoned in Marie Gioia for several years..."

Tiger's tone stopped again, and he lowered his head deeply, and buried it in his chest. At the same time, he put his hand on the sun emblem on his chest, grabbed it vigorously, and then whispered.

"I used to...was...was...a slave!"

After saying these words, Tiger's tears could no longer be held back, and burst out of his eyes, only to hear him continue to hold back his tears and continue talking.

"I saw the madness of human beings there. Although I barely escaped, I couldn't just ignore the slaves around me."

"So, you found me."

Bahn was still 'looking' ahead, and said this sentence without emotion.

Tiger nodded when he heard Bahn's voice,

"And then you and I made a scene in the Holy Land, Mary Gioia."

When these words were said, Tiger straightened up, took a long breath, and then continued.

"I used to live as I wanted, but it seriously disturbed Princess Otohime. That person is right."

"Everybody wants peace, that's for sure."

"But it is the innocent next generation like Kerla who can really change the island!"

Kerla's smiling face seemed to appear in front of Tiger's eyes, and he continued to speak.

"So, please, Barn, don't talk about these things with the children of Murloc Island, and tell the members of the Sun Pirates not to talk about it."

"Whether it's the tragedy that happened to us, or our anger at humanity!"

"There are still a lot of kind-hearted human beings in this world, and we only encounter a small number of extremists. I know this very well."

"However, people who died and disappeared left nothing but hatred in this world. It's really funny."

Tiger laughed, but the laughter was mixed with sarcasm and helplessness.

"Although I am very clear in my mind, my heart has been controlled by the devil, and my body is consciously rejecting this blood."

"This is dirty blood, the blood of humans who have always discriminated against our murlocs. I don't want to accept their favor! I won't surrender to humans!"

Tiger was still facing the sea, and said this sentence almost in a roar, and then looked at Bahn with a bitter smile, the tears in his eyes were still flowing, only to hear his miserable Said.

"Bahn...I have...will not love humans anymore!"

Bahn didn't answer Tiger, he was still staring at the darkness in front of him, and he sighed long after a long time.

He left his hands from the railing of the boat and faced Tiger with a mask-like smile on his face, only listening to what he said.

"Finished?"

The tears on Tiger's face had already dried up, and when he heard Bahn's words, he gave a faint 'ah', which was regarded as an answer.

Hearing Tiger's answer, Barn nodded with a smile, but the next move was beyond Tiger's expectation!

Bahn punched Tiger, and Tiger was directly knocked down by the huge force of Bahn's fist.

Bahn walked towards Tiger slowly, straddled him, and punched him in the face again!

"Tiger, no matter what, to all the freed slaves, you are a lifelong benefactor and a great hero to the murlocs who have accomplished great deeds!"

After saying this, Bane punched Tiger in the face again, and said.

"What's wrong with the human blood? Don't you live well? If you die, you'll have nothing."

Another punch!

"What do you mean if your body refuses this blood, why don't you rely on it to say what you just said!"

Punch!

"Think about it, if you die, what will the people on the Sun Pirates do? You are their pillar!"

Punch!

"And Kerla, she only has a good relationship with you. In her eyes, I'm just a weird uncle who likes to fish but can't catch it. The next generation wants you to witness it with your own eyes!"

Punch!

But after swinging this punch, Bane lay on Tiger's body and cried, only listening to him speak with sobs.

"Tiger...I am also...human!"

At this time, Tiger was already bruised and swollen by Bahn, but he didn't react, he just let Bahn hit him until Bahn's last punch...

Finally, Tiger understood.

"Bahn is also a human being, but he is also my friend!"

He remembered what he said to Jinbe when he defeated Jinbe and took over Murloc Street.

"It's still far away. The punch is too weak. Such a fist can't protect anyone."

Tiger smiled, subconsciously clenched his fist.

Thinking of what Princess Otohime said again, Tiger finally figured out that he was wrong.

Tiger patted Bahn's back, sat up, and said to Bahn.

"Thank you, Barn, I see, I was wrong."

Bahn was very happy to see that Tiger had figured it out, but his eyes suddenly changed and he said firmly.

"No, Tiger, you are not wrong. What is really wrong is the world government and the system established by the world government!"

Then he smiled and said.

"Do you want to overthrow it with me? Tiger."

Tiger looked at Bahn, seeing the fire burning in his unfocused eyes, which gradually became infected, he couldn't help but nodded.
