Chapter 84 The First Dream
The target island is several nautical miles away. A warship floats on the turbulent sea.
"Reporting to Admiral Sengoku, Byrnndi Waldo has landed on the target island and is heading toWorlds the agreed location."
An orderly standing on the watchtower put down his lookout glass, turned around, and saluted Sengoku on the deck.
"Well, can you see how many people he brought?" Sengoku, also using binoculars, asked as he observed the island. His eyebrows were tightly knit as if someone had drawn them in with a black pen.
The warship was quite far from the target island. Even with the most accurate observation mirror from Naval Headquarters, Sengoku could only vaguely see a line of black spots slowly advancing in the snow.
After all, Byrnndi Waldo is one of the top powerhouses in this sea. To be safe and avoid being noticed by his Observation Haki, Sengoku must keep the warship at a safe distance. Although this guy's threat to the Marines and World Government comes from his Devil Fruit ability more than his combat power.
"The exact number cannot be determined, but most of the pirates are stationed by him on the four pirate ships that are docked," the orderly reported.
"Four ships?" Sengoku was taken aback and half-closed his eyes.
"According to the intelligence, the World Pirates have expanded to five pirate ships after recruiting during this period of time," the orderly confirmed.
"But for some reason, one of the pirate ships did not dock and we have lost sight of it."
"He's really cautious..." Borsolino, who was picking his nails beside him, said without raising his head.
Sengoku ignored him, frowned even tighter, and murmured solemnly, "Was it Byojack's work?"
Byojack is the deputy captain of the World Pirates and the elder brother of Byrnndi Waldo. Although he is sickly and weak and has no combat effectiveness, he has wisdom and prudence that ordinary pirates do not have. As the core figure of the World Pirates, he is the brain, complementing Byrnndi Waldo's powerful strength and posing a serious threat.
In many past crusades, it was Byojack's resourcefulness that allowed Byrnndi Waldo to escape successfully, causing the Marines to fall short.
"Admiral Sengoku, it has been determined that the target has landed on the island. When shall we act?" A soldier walked over quickly and asked in a low voice.
Sengoku glanced at Borsolino who was sitting there leisurely, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer..."
He took out a military phone bug from his pocket, and his eyes fell on the sleeping phone bug. "...waiting for Colonel Darren's signal."
Deserted island.
The wind and snow drifted down from the gloomy sky. Byrnndi Waldo led hundreds of pirates forWorld in the icy snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow. His breath condensed into hoarfrost in the icy air. Byojack, who was sitting on Byrnndi's shoulders, tightened his sheepskin coat.
The road was dead silent, and an endless expanse of land and snow-capped mountains seemed to stretch before them.
"Waldo, I have some bad premonitions," Byojack said, shuddering as he looked at the snow-capped mountains and wilderness.
"Hahahaha, brother, you're thinking too much. As soon as we get the ammunition, we'll leave this island immediately. The world is so big—is there any place we can't go?"
Byrnndi Waldo comforted Byojack with a smile. His eyes were full of burning ambition like flames.
"No, I didn't mean that."
Byojack shook his head and said. His gloomy sick face seemed even paler because of the cold weather.
"We've taken too big a step. We've been killing and fighting since we went to sea."
"The bounty for unknown reasons has skyrocketed. That guy Sengoku is chasing us relentlessly. More and more people are joining our World Pirates, and the number of our subordinates has far exceeded what the cadres can control."
"And…"
He paused for a moment, looking at Byrnndi Waldo with indescribably complicated eyes.
"You've changed, Waldo."
"You are becoming more bold and unscrupulous. Human life is like an ant in your eyes. You destroy everything that stands in your way. If this continues, we will face unpredictable consequences."
Byrnndi Waldo suddenly stopped.
The members of the pirate group behind them also stopped, looking at their captain with some doubts.
Withered snow fell from the sky, landing on Byrnndi Waldo's helmet, shoulders, and body. The smile on his face had disappeared.
"Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"
Byrnndi Waldo's voice dropped.
"Have you forgotten our dream?... Traveling around the world. Isn't that your original dream?"
"No, Waldo, I haven't forgotten."
Byojack shook his head, his dark eyes full of blankness.
"Even now, I still want to travel the world, to see different places and scenery with my own eyes on the vast and endless sea, and to find the freedom of life!"
"It's you who has really forgotten this dream."
"When was the last time we were on an island we've never been to, laughing without restraint?"
"You don't remember either?"
"What you enjoy now is not traveling or adventure. What you enjoy is killing and destruction."
"As you become stronger, especially after you got that Devil Fruit, you changed. You seem to be a completely different person."
"Your desire to destroy is getting stronger. Your ambition is getting bigger. You want to destroy everything that stands in your way. The official ships of the World Government, the Marine fleet, and even innocent civilians and towns are all devoured by your anger."
"—They forced me to do this!!"
Byrnndi Waldo suddenly shouted angrily, directly interrupting his brother's words.
There were blue veins on his forehead. His expression was ferocious, and his fists were tightly clenched.
"If I don't do this, how can we support our dreams!?"
"Traveling around the world is not just a slogan. We need money and powerful strength. Only by constantly destroying and plundering can those who want to kill us fear us!"
"I have such powerful power with the More-more fruit. Why can't I be the overlord of the sea!?"
"Just stand behind me and watch, brother..."
"I will destroy all those who try to hinder us. Whether it's the Marine or World Government, they will all bow at my feet, Byrnndi Waldo!"
After finishing, the corner of his mouth raised an unscrupulous grin. He strode toWorlds the distance.
Byojack sat on his shoulder, staring blankly at his profile, sighing inWorldly.
