Chapter 8 Want to be the light too

The raging fire burned away the evil that had lasted for twenty years in the old era, and also burned away the dark clouds that had covered the residents of Roger Town for many years.

The soul of the owner of the Bar, Gol D. Roger, seemed to have been completely burned by the fire.

He was completely in a daze, with no glory in his eyes.

The faith that has been persisting for so many years has collapsed once, maybe it is impossible to be much better than him if he changes someone else.

But Ling Ye didn't feel sorry for his current result.

People have to pay the price for their choices.

Bartolomeo chose to become the underworld, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, so death became the price he paid.

The bar owner regards One Piece Roger as his faith, and is now trampled by Ling Ye to the point of being completely trampled. If the bar owner still has some face, I am afraid that his life in Roger Town will not be so easy in the future.

After all, he had chosen to stand up and speak for Roger's execution station before, and was treated maliciously by residents of Roger Town in the future, which was only the price he should pay.

...

"Everyone, thanks to the trust of his colleagues, he will temporarily serve as the commander of the new naval army. From now on, Roger Town will become the new naval headquarters base. Please continue to live with peace of mind for everyone living in Roger Town. We will not disturb everyone when we wait for the new navy."

Ling Ye solemnly announced the news that the new navy had entered Roger Town to the residents of Roger Town.

With the execution of Bartolomeo before, the residents of Roger Town were so full of favorable feelings towards Ling Ye and his new navy.

Who doesn’t want to live in a peaceful and safe environment?

Most people, however, beg for comfort, they dare not do things that violate the crime, and their only conscience also restrains them. All they can do is to live as much as they can in a less comfortable environment.

They are honest, they endure everything.

Even if they were crushed by villains like Bartolomeo, they could only endure it and not speak.

Not everyone is great, nor is everyone willing to be the one who takes the lead in sacrifice. As long as you live, everything else is easy to say.

But Ling Ye, the emergence of the new navy made them feel the other air. They seemed to no longer have to lower their heads to endure, and could raise their heads to breathe happily.

How could the residents of the former Roger Town not be happy and welcomed to Lingye and the New Navy who brought them this change?

Although they didn't know what the new navy was and why this young man called himself the "new navy marshal", this did not prevent them from welcomeing Ling Ye and others.

"See Marshal Ling Ye to take care of him in the future!"

"Thank you, everyone from the New Navy!"

Thanks to Ling Ye and others were constantly heard in the crowd.

...

After the execution, Ling Ye took everyone back to the base.

Dasqi didn't say a word and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Dasqi?"

"Ah, here, Marshal Lingye!"

Hearing Ling Ye's call, Dasqi immediately came back to his senses.

"what's on your mind?"

Ling Ye said with a smile.

Dasqi's face turned red.

"I just don't understand why the residents of Roger Town didn't tell Colonel Smog about Bartolomeo earlier. With Colonel Smog's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to solve Bartolomeo, right?"

When Ling Ye heard this, he shook his head helplessly.

"Dasqi, you should know that those people are just civilians. What they want is simple, they just live safely. They are more willing to surrender to the dark clouds of Bartolomeo than to report Bartolomeo to recklessly. After all, if Bartolomeo is reported and Bartolomeo is not resolved, they cannot afford the price they will pay.

It is precisely because of this that they sincerely thank us.”

"Marson Ling Ye!"

"Marson Ling Ye!"

Suddenly, a voice calling out to Ling Ye sounded outside the team.

They are two children of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The team stopped immediately, and everyone focused their attention on the two children running towards them.

The two of them were originally full of excitement and froze.

There is no way, in front of this very powerful naval team, they really can't whine like they did just now.

"What are you?"

Ling Ye walked up to the two children and asked.

Seeing Ling Ye speak out, the relatively strong child took a deep breath and plucked up the courage.

"Marson Lingye, my name is Levin, he is Hook. We came here to ask if we can join the new navy!"

Joining the New Navy was the thought of the two of them in Bartolomeo following the ruins of the old era turning into ashes, and they raised their heads and breathing. This thought was thousands of and they couldn't suppress them at all. When they came to their senses, they found that they were already chasing the departing New Navy. When the figure of the new navy appeared in their eyes, they were even more anxious to join the team!

"Why do you want to join the new navy?"

Ling Ye did not agree or refuse, but asked.

The navy also paid attention to it with interest, looking forward to what kind of answers the two of them would say.

The two were obviously caught off guard, and Ling Ye's question and answer were beyond their expectations.

After thinking for a moment, Levin took the lead and said, "Marson Lingye, Hook and I are both orphans. We have lived in Roger Town since we were young. The residents of the town have pity us, so we can live until now.

A few years ago, Roger Town was often invaded, robbed, injured by pirates, and even deaths happened. Everyone in the town had no choice but to survive in that environment.

In the past two years, after Colonel Smog was stationed in Roger, the situation of pirates invasion has improved a lot, and we were relieved. But the Bartolomeo Club has always existed. The pirates are gone, but they are even more excessive and are not much better in the end. And unlike Pirates, most of them are locals, and we are afraid that we will not be able to report them and will be retaliated later, so we dare not place our hopes on Colonel Smog, and then we chose to continue to endure.

Until today, Marshal Ling Ye.

You drove away the dark clouds above us, and let our heads pressed down, finally lifted up and breathed happily on this day!

When I raised my head, I realized that the light was so dazzling.

So I want to be light, too.”

Hook nodded solemnly: "That's right, Marshal Lingye, we also want to drive away the dark clouds on others like you, so that others can also raise their heads and breathe happily! I want to be light too!"

Ling Ye turned around.

"It's very hard to be a qualified new navy."

"We're not afraid!"

Ling Ye smiled slightly, and the navy also smiled.

"Remember your mood now, it will make you stronger. Join the list, recruits."

"Yes, Marshal Ling Ye!"

Levin, Hook immediately smiled and joined the New Navy clumsyly.

"Dasqi, did you see it? Just being contagious, what we do makes sense, doesn't we?"

Ling Ye said softly.

Dasqi smiled with a pursed lips.

"yes."

At this moment, her heart suddenly became clear.

...

"What fell?"

Someone in the crowd saw something falling from the sky.

"It's a news bird, is it the newspaper that fell down?"

Someone answered.

"I found it, I'll take a look."

A middle-aged man picked up a newspaper from the ground.

Everyone was waiting for him to finish reading and read the news to everyone.

After all, this is one of the few ways they can access information from the outside world.

"What are you doing? I haven't finished watching it yet?"

After a moment, someone couldn't resist his patience and asked.

The man holding the newspaper seemed to be petrified and was stunned.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Someone saw something was wrong with him and pushed him.

The middle-aged man swallowed, took a long breath, and suddenly let out a voice.
