The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 293 This is the true reflection of darkness

"Hahaha, you want to know? I'm not telling you!"

John Wixon, his face covered in blood, laughed maniacally and menacingly.

He's a complete madman, a deranged madman.

"You bastard, don't push your luck!" Beta said angrily to John Wixon.

Charlotte felt no anger at all; madmen are all incomprehensible.

Neither soft nor hard approaches will make a madman talk; on the contrary, they will only drive him even more insane.

Arguing with a madman is just asking for trouble.

If his Observation Haki hadn't failed, he wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.

"Pirates deserve to die!"

Forehead???

Charlotte was speechless. He was stunned. This was yet another guy who had been persecuted by pirates, his family destroyed, and he had become a madman like this.

But how exactly does your sister's Heberfeller family seem like such wicked people?

That's enough already.

Who did the Heberfeller family offend this time? They were caught in the same trap once, and they've been caught in it again this time.

Pirates really have a bleak future! Not only are they always the target of revenge, but they also easily become scapegoats.

John Wixon seemed to have a final burst of energy before death; his tone was no longer frantic, but even somewhat calm, and his nostalgic tone was deeply moving.

"I used to be the director of an orphanage, taking in a group of children who were homeless because of the war..."

"Even though life was tough, the children were still happy and content, and I thought it would always be like that!"

"Cough cough..."

John Wixon coughed violently, blood flowed uncontrollably, and his emotions began to surge.

"But... a group of ruthless pirates landed on the island, burning, killing, and looting, and even kidnapped children to sell to slave traders..."

Charlotte shook his head. The plot was exactly as he had imagined. In the end, most pirates were just as wicked as ever.

Not all pirates are utterly evil; some are also conscientious, though their contributions are negligible compared to the vast pirate system.

On the other hand, the vast majority of the navy is conscientious, yet evil also exists within them; this is a contradictory yet real problem.

"I barely survived, and on the verge of starvation, I accidentally ate a Devil Fruit and stubbornly survived."

John Wixon spoke calmly, as if he were confiding or reminiscing.

"Later... I went out to sea to search for them, killed the slave organization, and learned from their leader that they had sold the children to the World Government..."

"I kept searching for clues, and finally, following them, I found them on an island!!!"

John Wixon's tone suddenly became agitated, and he coughed violently, as if he had said something terrible.

"The children were subjected to all sorts of horrific human experiments, turning them into something neither human nor ghost..."

The World Government? They've committed far too many evils; no one can say for sure how many.

"I killed everyone there, but I was at a loss when I looked at the children."

"I watched with my own eyes as a little girl, neither human nor ghost, suffered terribly from the torment of terrible drugs. She begged me to let her kill her."

John Wixon, tears streaming down his face, the madman also shedding terrible tears of blood, gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"I know I can't save her. The only thing I can do is end her suffering and end her tragic life..."

John Wixon's memories resurfaced... He trembled as he raised the gun in his hand, ending the little girl's suffering with her words, "Thank you, teacher."

"Hahaha! You know what? Looking into her dead eyes, I so wished it were all a dream!"

That desperate scream, mixed with rolling blood and tears, would drive anyone insane under such torture!

What a pathetic world!

This is a true reflection of darkness.

"I originally planned to leave this place with the remaining children whose conditions were less severe, and dedicate my life to saving them..."

At this point, his tone suddenly turned ferocious.

"To cover up this heinous incident, the World Government actually had the Navy launch a Buster Call..."

The blood-red setting sun, the deafening roar of artillery fire—countless young lives were torn apart by the merciless gunfire, turning into a bloody mist. The cratered battlefield was littered with remnants of clothing, a stark irony.

Charlotte remained silent for a long time. He knew the World Government's methods very well, and this was by no means the first time they had used such drastic measures.

To conceal the truth and manipulate the world, they have always chosen this simple and effective method.

Because only the dead can keep secrets.

This is the most effective and cruel method.

Shaking his head, Charlotte stood up, even though all the characters in the story were tragic.

But the reality is that the tragedy has already happened, and there is no room for tact.

He couldn't understand it at all, since the World Government and the Navy were the ones who caused the most harm to the pirates.

Why specifically target pirates for revenge, and drag them into this mess?

This is completely unreasonable!

Charlotte stopped thinking about it. He needed to get his things out of there and confirm the whereabouts of the Floating Fruit.

Since this place won't work, let's leave and use Observation Haki—Mind Reading—once we leave.

We'll determine where the Float Fruit is then.

Just then, one of the henchmen rushed over and shouted loudly.

"Boss, something bad has happened! The Navy has surrounded Terslet Island."

In an instant, a thunderbolt seemed to flash through Charlotte's mind.

"Hahahaha... Good, good, the damn navy is finally here."

That endlessly frenzied tone was chilling.

John Wickson had already made a plan. He knew he couldn't release the Heberfeller pirate family, so he notified the Navy through special channels after Charlotte and the others landed on the island.

Charlotte looked at the madman in front of her with a gloomy gaze.

He realized that this guy had used the Float-Float Fruit to set up a trap.

They use themselves as bait to keep them in place, and they also use stories to buy time.

He really is a reckless madman.

"Haha, pirates deserve to die, the Navy deserves to die, and the World Government deserves to die even more!"

That endless, frenzied tone was filled with boundless, terrifying hatred.

"Destroy this pathetic and corrupt world! Destroy it all!"

Charlotte looked at the completely deranged guy in front of her.

He risked his own life to lure both pirates and the navy, which naturally resulted in a major battle between the two sides.

This guy is using someone else to do his dirty work; all the losses on both sides in the battle are part of his plan—it's revenge.

Madmen are not only irrational but also terrifying.

"Charlotte, what should we do?"

Lina quickly spoke up.

"Everyone, prepare to evacuate immediately. We need to leave here as quickly as possible."

Charlotte spoke in a deep voice, the situation had already reached this point, and it was too late to think about anything else.
