Pirate: I'm making a clone behind the scenes

Chapter 251 Look into my eyes!Answer me, Tikki!

"According to Marco, it takes a lot of energy to recover from his injuries, but if it's a severe injury like a broken limb, it may take a lot of life force, so it's like this!"

"vitality......"

Upon hearing De Ge's words, Tiqi's eyes flashed and he murmured softly.

"That's right, vitality! You can also directly understand it as life span. In other words, he has really entered his old age now. If it weren't for saving the captain..., alas!"

Having said this, Dego sighed again, sighing that he did not stop Marco at that time.

But even if he did it again, he still wouldn't stop it.

After all, Shanks is his captain and the faith he wants to follow throughout his life!

"We owe you a favor!"

Thinking of this, De Ge solemnly said to Tiqi.

In response, Teach just nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

quickly,

The Red Foss sailed to Charleston Island.

"Marco, if you need anything, come to me anytime!"

Before leaving, Shanks handed a phone bug to Marco with a solemn expression.

"It's not a separation of life and death. I'm just staying here for a while to recuperate. You are welcome to come see me here at any time!"

Marco, who had regained some energy, took the phone bug with a smile and joked to everyone in the red-haired pirate group.

"Well Marco, Teach, you two take care!"

After saying goodbye, the red-haired pirates set off again!

"Teach, do you really decide to stay here with me? With your ability, you can definitely revitalize the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Watching the red-haired pirates leave, Marco turned back to Tikki and asked.

"Hahahaha, don't worry about this. Let's get you settled first."

Teach smiled casually.

In response, Marco just smiled and shook his head.

Although he doesn't need anyone to take care of him, he is quite happy when someone is willing to take care of him.

Soon, the two came to the only town on the island.

Because the island is not big, there are not many people in the small town on the island.

After wandering for a long time, the two of them bought some daily necessities.

It is worth mentioning that Teach almost visited the entire town before finally buying a few pineapples from a relatively wealthy household.

In this regard, Marco just smiled and did not go into details.

into the night.

Because Marco lost his hands and was unable to cook, Teach rarely took it upon himself to cook a table of dishes that didn't look very good.

Fortunately, there was wine donated from the red-haired pirates, and the two of them managed to finish the dishes with the help of the wine.

According to Marco, the first time he ate the food cooked by Teach himself, no matter how unpalatable it was, he had to finish it!

"Tic...Tiqi, you said...you can carry the power of two Devil Fruits at the same time, is it...that you can also eat a third Devil Fruit..."

Marco, who looked like he had drunk too much, asked a little drunkenly.

"..."

Upon hearing Marco's question, Teach's hand holding the wine glass suddenly trembled, and then he just took a sip silently without speaking.

"Tic...Tiqi, I remember, when we first met, you were... hiccup... just such a big boy!"

Perhaps it was because of Marco's aging body, or because he rarely got drunk, that even though he was only in his 30s, he began to lament that things and people had changed in the past.

That year, the Whitebeard Pirates had just been established a few years ago, Marco was still a young man who had just grown up, and Teach was only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

"Gudu! Gudu!"

With the wings formed by the flames, Marco drank heavily in high spirits.

"At that time, you were as skinny as skin and bones. How can you be so strong now!"

"I didn't expect... so many years have passed in the blink of an eye..."

"Dad is gone, and so are the brothers. We are the only ones left..."

Speaking of this, perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, tears were already shining in the corners of Marco's eyes.

Looking at Marco who lamented the impermanence of life, Teach didn't know what Marco wanted to do, so he could only drink wine dullly.

"Tikki, are you still willing to bear the name of Whitebeard?!"

Suddenly, Marco stood up and stared at Teach, with that sharp look, there was no trace of drunkenness at all!

Yes!

Even if his body is not as good as before, how can Marco, as a phoenix, be paralyzed by a little alcohol!

"Marco, you..."

"Look into my eyes!! Answer me, Tikki!!"

Marco walked up to Teach step by step.

It was obvious that he was already very old, and he no longer had the oppressive feeling in his prime.

But unexpectedly, Teach somehow felt guilty when Marco saw him, and looked away subconsciously.

"Hu~~"

"Now, Teach, if you need it, just take it..."

After getting the answer, Marco returned to his drunken appearance, sat back on the chair, and spoke as if he was talking about everyday things.

"...I just hope you...always remember it..."

Marco gently touched his chest with his severed arm, the symbol that belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates. His eyes were full of yearning and longing, as well as a trace of imperceptible lament.

"Bring me a pineapple. You know, my favorite fruit is pineapple. It's rare that you bought so many!"

Looking at Tikki with a troubled look on his face, Marco said in a rare relaxed tone.

It's like a very common sight.

"Hu~~"

"Ok!"

Taking a deep breath, Tiqi seemed to have made up his mind. He picked out the largest and brightest pineapple from the basket, and peeled it off in a few clicks with the hook he had worn on his hand at some time. Put it to Marco's mouth.

Because the iron hook is stained with blood all year round, the whole pineapple is stained with a faint smell of rust!

Marco didn't dislike this at all, but ate it with relish.

In just a few seconds, Marco swallowed a big pineapple.

"Hiccup~"

"Shu Tan!"

"What are you waiting for, Tikki!!"

Seeing that Teach hesitated to take action, Marco shouted sharply.

"laugh!!"

Ben followed Marco's roar, and Tikki's hook, covered with armed domineering force, pierced Marco's chest like a broken bamboo.

"Dad...everyone...wait for me, I'm here to accompany you..."

Blood flowed uncontrollably along the opened hole. As Marco's life breath continued to retreat, he seemed to see the voices and smiles of his father and brothers.

"Dark cave!"

Tiqi was silent for a long time, and his words without emotion echoed lonely in the darkness...

The invisible blackness is just like Tiqi's complicated mood right now, which is hard to describe!

He didn't know when Marco saw his intention.

Maybe he felt a trace of hatred in his heart?

Maybe it was his weird behavior of searching for fruit on the island?

Maybe it’s because he wants to cook himself even though he clearly doesn’t know how to cook?

Maybe......

Maybe not, maybe, it's just because Marco has lost his pursuit of the future and has no motivation to live...

Looking at the pineapple-shaped Devil Fruit with blue lines in his hand, Teach was silent...

Obviously he has already made up his mind to get Marco's Devil Fruit ability to reshape his arm!

But why did Marco take the initiative to die!

Tikki doesn't understand...

Alive,

Isn't it good?

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky,

For the first time, Teach felt confused about his ambition...
