“Anyway, I have already admitted that you are my partner! Whether you can get on my ship or not, I have already admitted it!”

“In this world, there are only partners and dreams…”

“It’s something you absolutely can’t live up to!!!”

“So, tell me your dreams!”

“When I become the Pirate King, I will become the most powerful person in the world”

“Let me help you realize that dream!”

“Luffy….”Carl stopped and stared blankly at Luffy, who was leaning against the fire.

At that moment, he seemed to see the other person shining.

It was also at this moment that he seemed to understand the reason why the other party became the protagonist.

It’s not because the author chose…Just because he is here, he should be the protagonist!

“my dream~~”

Countless memories flashed through Karl’s mind, and these fragments finally merged into a firm look:

“Then please, please end this damn era for me!”

“Hahahaha, is the era of great pirates over? What an incredible dream!”Luffy covered his face with one hand and his belly with the other and laughed,”Just listening….”

“It already made me tremble all over!”

“Carl, you are not an ordinary person! You are a strong person that I, Luffy, recognize!”

“I promised you!”

“When I become the Pirate King, I will personally announce the end of this damn era! Just like Roger, the Pirate King back then!”

“Carl! Your Dream! I’ll carry it for you!”

“This is an agreement between men!”

Luffy’s eyes burned with a fiery fighting spirit. He took off his straw hat with his left hand and extended his right hand towards Carl again.

“Take the future pirate king, Monkey·D·In Luffy’s name!”

“Bet on the glory of the Straw Hat!”

“Stop talking nonsense, have you thought clearly? To become the Pirate King, you only need to defeat all pirates, but end this damn era….The whole world is your enemy!”Karl lowered his head and cursed.

“Isn’t that just right? How can you be called the strongest if you don’t defeat the whole world?”

“You do not understand!”

“I don’t need to understand! All I have to do is move forward until I die!”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Don’t be afraid!”

“What if you never come back?”

“Then leave and never come back!”

“Really similar….”

Karl sighed quietly, as if he saw the shadow of another person in front of the high-spirited boy in front of him.

That is…myself who has died long ago!

The long-dead heart in my chest actually lit up again, as if it was returning to the light, or it seemed to be resurrected, or maybe it was not dead in the first place, but just waiting and dormant.

Even Karl himself didn’t know that he was already in tears….

As for what happened next, Karl can’t remember much.

He only remembered that the two of them chatted very late, until tens of thousands of stars climbed into the night sky, until the four wild boars they had brought were not even left with a pig leg….The two of them didn’t even return to the house. They just lay next to the fire and fell asleep. No one could remember what the last topic was or who said the last sentence.

All I know is that it was a collision of the thoughts and wills of two young people, an ensemble of dreams and reality in the symphony of a crackling fire.

Although there was no wine, when the two of them recalled that night, they both felt full of hazy drunkenness.

When the fire that had been tiring all night was slowly extinguished because there was no new firewood, the rising sun shed a slightly cold sunshine, and the morning dew hit Karl’s eyebrows with a splash.

The boy who had regained his life opened his eyes.

Subconsciously, he wanted to rub his sleepy eyes, but found that his right arm seemed to be gone. When he turned around, he saw that Luffy had used him as a pillow and slept in his arms all night.

“Luffy, thank you!”

Karl whispered, then carefully pulled out his arm, resisting the feeling of numbness and walked back to his cabin in the forest.

Sitting on the uneven straw mat, Karl felt a little enlightened. Recalling last night, it seemed that He came to this world and slept the most peacefully. When he looked up, he saw several wooden carvings placed on the handmade shelves.

These were all carved by himself with a knife when he had nothing to do. It is a very common deity and Buddha in his previous life. Because he was very interested in this traditional culture before, he knew more about it and collected some at home.

But when it comes to carving, this is his first time. Although the carving is not very beautiful, it is You can also roughly tell who is engraved.

As the old saying goes, sincerity will naturally lead to spiritual enlightenment.

This is when Carl realized that he had really traveled through time, and did not have those amazing golden fingers in the novel, and even got the hell start. Things he started doing after living on a desert island.

People, in desperate situations, always have a spiritual sustenance.

Although he is also an atheist, this does not prevent him from doing these things. He treats them as passing time and giving himself time. A hope.

After praying for several months, the wish to return to the original world did not come true, but Carl waited for Luffy, the destiny child of this world.

“Is this the revelation you gave me?”

Karl didn’t understand.

The Buddha statue naturally couldn’t speak and just looked at him quietly.

“If you really have spirits, why do you leave me here alone?”

“If you really have spirits, why is there so much suffering in the world?”

“If you really have spirit….”Carl paused and licked his dry mouth,”Then, help me once.”

“Even if it’s just this once.”

Karl knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the Buddha statues he had carved with his own hands. He was reluctant to lift them up.

After an unknown amount of time, when Karl stood up, the hesitation in his eyes had been replaced by determination.

He took out a stone tool similar to a hoe from the corner of the wall, opened up the straw mat, and smashed it heavily on the bed of soil.

Suddenly, dust flew up.

But Karl didn’t care about it at all, as if his eyes were red. He kept smashing until there was a crisp sound. Karl threw away the hoe and took out a wooden box from the damaged soil bed.

Opening it, there was a strange-looking fruit lying quietly inside.

The fruit It’s not big, about the size of a fist. It’s purple in color and has many strange patterns on its surface. It looks similar to the apples you usually eat. It’s in the world of One Piece that countless people flock to it, even risking their lives. The secret treasure of the sea—Devil Fruit

“Huh? Carl, what are you doing! Is there something delicious in your hand?”
