My Friend, Why Are You Sad?

Ove stared blankly at the white gas that had gathered again. He clenched his fist and punched hard.

“Marines and Pirates? We have been for a long time! Kaz, you don’t know anything! Hit the Super Giant Cannon!!”

His fist hit the surrounding air, forming a huge shock wave, and his fist hit the white gas.

Boom!!

The white gas rippled like water. This time, it did not break.

Instead, the white gas followed the attack and rushed forward, wrapping around Ao Fu’s body.

“This kind of thing…”

Oaf was just about to break through when his body suddenly shook. In this white gas, there seemed to be an indescribable force that shook his body and mind.

“Ba…” His eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

“Ove!!”

However, as soon as he spoke, Kaz rushed out of the white gas and appeared in front of Orff. He stared at him and punched him in the face.

Bang!

This punch might be very strong, but in front of the battle-hardened Orff, it was just a very ordinary punch.

But such a fist was embedded in his face and his body flew back and fell heavily to the ground.

“You bastard!!”

The right side of Ove’s face was swollen. He straightened his body and the tiger pounced.

“Hit Tsunami (Tsunami)!!”

Bang bang bang!!!

His fists were like afterimages, carrying shock waves as they hit Kaz.

The white gas around Kaz also connected with the rear and formed a huge shield, allowing these attacks to hit the huge shield.

This crazy attack only caused ripples on the huge shield.

“Break, break for me!!” Ove roared.

But no matter how he punched, the white gas that had just been opened would immediately heal.

“Human will is infinite.”

Behind the giant shield, Kaz’s voice sounded, “Even if you break it temporarily, as long as your will is not destroyed, it will gather again. Give up, Orff, you can’t beat me.”

Kaz’s words made Orff’s fist freeze.

“Give up. Those people have already run away. You can’t win against them.”

In his mind, a familiar but seemingly long-lost voice sounded.

“I can win!”

Ove’s eyes were wide open, and his eyes were bloodshot. He punched his fist back and roared:

“I can always win!!”

Bang!!!

His fist passed through the huge shield and punched a hole in it, unable to heal for a long time.

Orff grinned at Kaz, who had appeared in the hole. “Look, I can win!”

However, the moment he looked over, he was stunned.

Kaz looked at him quietly, tears streaming down his tiger eyes to his cheeks.

“My friend…”

He looked at Orff with sorrow. “Why, why are you so sad?”

Oaf stood there as if he had been struck by lightning, staring blankly at the tears on Kaz’s face.

Memories began to revive.

That was more than twenty years ago, not long after Roger died.

“Kaz, you go first. After I take care of the people in the dojo, I will go over too! You make a name for yourself over there first, then I will find you and charge for you!”

On the coast, the young Orff bared his teeth at Kaz with a bright smile.

“Okay!”

At that time, Kaz, who was already showing a little bit of hairiness, nodded heavily, but he asked with doubt, “Why don’t you come with me? Isn’t it good for us to join the Marine together?”

Ove and Kaz learned boxing at a dojo in East Blue.

The two of them agreed to join the Marine and were supposed to go together.

But Ove has recently been confessed to by the daughter of the dojo master and he can’t leave yet.

“I also have an evil here waiting for me to subdue!” Ove said seriously.

Well!

Very big evil!

Compared to upholding justice, Nako… No, love is more moving.

Compared to a talentless person like Kaz, Oaf is the strongest in this dojo.

He had practiced the fist technique almost thoroughly.

The master of the dojo had high hopes for him. Even if he had never joined the Marine Corps, he had encountered pirates coming ashore and he killed them all with his bare hands.

There were also many Marine branches nearby who heard of his reputation and came to invite him.

But Orff didn’t agree. He enjoyed everything in the dojo and he had an agreement to be a Marine with Kaz.

But now…

“Some things will change with time, Cass.”

Looking at Kaz’s distant figure, Orff shook his head. “Friend, I’m sorry, I haven’t enjoyed love yet. But I will still fight evil. I can be a bounty hunter.”

With that, he turned around and his eyes almost turned into hearts. His body was like a snake as he ran on the other side.

“Shana, I’m coming~”

… .

Things will change with time.

Like a curse, Orff’s words came true.

That day, he received news that there were pirates nearby and went to eliminate them to earn a little bounty.

But when he came back, all he saw was a burning village and a destroyed dojo.

The Master of Corpse Separation.

And Shana with her heart pierced…

“It was too late when we arrived.”

Marine, who heard the news, said apologetically, “Sorry, Ove, we didn’t expect another wave of pirates to come here.”

“Why? Why are you so slow!”

Ove grabbed Marine’s collar and asked, “Where are the pirates! Where did they go?!”

“I don’t know, calm down.”

Marine struggled out of Orff’s hand and walked to the side and picked up a flag. “It’s the [Evil Blade] Pirates. Their style of doing things is to leave their flag after slaughtering the town.”

“I’m going after them!” Ove said with red eyes.

“But we don’t know where they are.”

Marine hesitated for a while and said, “Our branch is only operating in our own jurisdiction area. I can’t do anything about other places. And they are very strong and have destroyed several Battleships.”

“Give up. Those people have already run away. You can’t win against them.”

“You are Marines!” Ove snarled at them. “You are the righteous Marines!”

“But we are also ordinary people.” The Marine spread his hands. “If we encounter them, we will call for support. Why don’t you join Marine? Marine is so big, one day you will meet them.”

As if in disbelief, Ove stared at the Marine. “Is this something you can say?”

“It’s true that we can’t catch them. Forget it, we will retreat and report back. If you want to join Marine, remember to say my name. My name is Mouse.”

Marine, not working.

The greatest justice is completely useless.

Watching the Marines retreat, leaving the village in a mess, Ove fell into deep thought.

If you want revenge, you can only rely on yourself!

Only I can fight evil!

Ove clenched his fists so tightly that his gums bled. “I will find you, I will!”
