The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Escanor is confident that he can handle any situation without the Demon King's rules.

resignedly.

Jon had no choice but to put away the three commandments for the time being and wait silently for the right opportunity.

Chapter 748 Melascula in Action

Escanor decisively rejected John's request.

Because he felt that even without the Demon King's rules, he was capable of dealing with all troubles!

——He is so confident during the day.

But at night.

As soon as he put on the thick-bottomed glasses, Escanor regretted it a little.

"Idiot, why would I refuse?"

Escanor grabbed his hair in annoyance and kept muttering, "If I could absorb those special powers, I would be able to better protect Miss Marlene."

Feiyangyang was really sad after hearing this, and Heixiaohu burst into tears after hearing this.

All I think about is the goddess.

All I can say is that Escanor's purity is very high...

But things have come to this, there is no use regretting.

As for lowering his face to ask for another chance, Escanor never even thought about it.

"It's okay. If we miss it, then we miss it. I can protect Marlene with my own strength."

There was no other way, Escanor could only comfort himself in his heart.

Just then, Diane came to call him to eat: "Escanor, Escanor, Lord Jon has prepared a lot of delicious food, just waiting for you to eat."

"Got it." Escanor responded softly, holding his glasses and walking out of the room.

Return to the lobby.

But I saw a table full of various dishes.

Wearing a chef's hat, Jon explained as he served the dishes, "Marin needs to do some experiments on goblins and giants, so she won't be back for a while. In order to fill her shoes, I won't be leaving for the time being."

"Okay~"

"Wuhu~"

“Awesome~”

The two women and the pig immediately cheered.

Only Escanor felt a little lost.

It’s not that Jon’s food isn’t delicious.

But...

Forget it.

What else is there to say now that things have come to this?

Escanor sighed in his heart, sat down silently, and started eating like an invisible person.

As expected of a famous chef who could cook even the demons into flowers, all kinds of flavors blossomed on his tongue, diluting the sadness in Escanor's heart.

"Eat more and see if you lose weight."

For some reason, during the meal, Jon deliberately gave Escanor more care.

Such behavior made Escanor a little helpless.

He stood up and thanked her but also politely declined.

Jon didn't say much, but just forced the food into his hands.

Such obvious favoritism caused Diane to complain.

Piggy and Elizabeth also looked at Escanor with envy.

There were some ripples in Escanor's heart...

This feels pretty good?

The next few days.

This care is becoming more and more deliberate.

It was fine when the sun rose.

The proud Escanor doesn't need special treatment from anyone.

But the sun sets.

The skinny little Escanor could clearly feel that John Joestar was releasing his own kindness.

"Why?" Escanor asked himself.

He didn't understand.

What is it about me that is worthy of such "investment" by the other party?

power?

He is a strong man who is comparable to Captain Meliodas.

Knowledge?

Uh, that's even more impossible.

Here comes the problem...

What do you want from me?

With such doubts, Escanor found John in the kitchen one night. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Because you lack love, so I am doing 'desensitization' training on you."

Jon spoke as a matter of course: "Although you never said it, every person with personality defects has an incomplete childhood. Escanor, because of your overly powerful strength, you have been treated differently by your family."

The shadow of childhood takes a lifetime to dispel.

Once this topic was brought up, Escanor couldn't continue the conversation.

Bitter.

He had a very hard childhood.

As the second prince of the Kingdom of Tarim, not only does he not receive love from his parents, but he is also targeted everywhere.

His only brother also regarded him as a monster and always bullied him with a stick.

Finally one day, Escanor's magic power exploded due to his emotional excitement, and he injured his brother's right arm. Since then, that family could no longer tolerate Escanor, and even issued a public arrest warrant for him.

Escanor's mouth was bitter: "I'm actually fine..."

"Don't hide it. What is there to hide from me?" Jon pushed Escanor down on a recliner. "You will feel better if you tell me."

A bard who doesn't want to be a psychiatrist is not a good cook.

These days, what matters is comprehensive strength.

Escanor didn't want to talk about it.

But when he met Jon's extremely sincere eyes, he inexplicably relaxed.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I... am indeed a monster, wanted by my own parents and the country. From childhood to adulthood, only Sister Rosa is not afraid of me."

The story is simple:

The little prince is feared by his biological parents and brother because of his powerful strength. Only his personal maid is willing to take care of him, and she is even willing to betray her country to help him escape from the place of trouble.

Later, the country was conquered by barbarians, and all his family members and the only maid who released him out of kindness were burned to death. Escanor had to start a wandering life.

By chance, he joined the Seven Deadly Sins and met the respectable Captain Meliodas and the bad woman Marin. Marin was very interested in Escanor's special physique and couldn't help showing her kindness. Escanor, who had been lacking love since childhood, had never seen such a scene before and fell in love with him directly, becoming the goddess's number one licker.

"Lack of love in childhood, psychological trauma, single mother... all the elements are complete, I can understand." Jon touched his smooth chin: "It's easy to treat your problem."

"Treat...Treat?" Escanor didn't understand: "Lord Jon, I don't think I have any disease worth treating."

"If I say you have it, then you have it." Jon said to Escanor earnestly, "People who have no self will eventually lose themselves."

Escanor:? ? ?

So philosophical.

It is true that listening to your words is better than speaking to you alone.

"For my little interest, I decided to let you have a relationship." Qiao En laughed: "You're welcome."

"Eh?!" Escanor was so shocked that his glasses fell off.

He thought of a possibility: "Could it be with Mama Mama..."

After a long time of searching, no one came out.

Jon shook his head and said, "You can't handle a woman of Marlene's level for now. Besides, she has never liked you from the beginning to the end, so don't waste your time."

"Oh." Hearing this, Escanor's eyes dimmed visibly.

I know.

I know everything.

But as long as the goddess is happy, it is my greatest happiness...

Regardless of Escanor's inner drama, Jon silently calculated: "First, I need to find someone who is not afraid of you."

He explained: "I'm not randomly matching you up. If you continue to be deceived by bad women, you might even lose your life. Although you probably don't care, you should also consider the breasts of netizens."

"Netizens'...breasts..." Escanor blinked, not quite understanding what John meant.

But soon, he understood——

Crazy town, 'Basel'.

The annual fighting conference was held as scheduled.

Such a brutal and violent activity has many rewards.

As usual, the prize for first place is a huge war hammer standing on the mountain outside the town.

"It's my hammer." Diane's eyes lit up as she looked into the distance.

Finally found my artifact.

Just because she didn't have a magic weapon, she didn't know how much she had suffered in previous battles.

At the same time, Diane was also very curious, so she asked a random passerby: "Hey, uncle, why is the prize for the first place every year the same hammer?"

"Because it attracts attention." The passerby laughed and said, "It's rare to see a hammer that big."

"Then why didn't anyone take it away?" Elizabeth couldn't help asking.

Passerby uncle: "Because it's too big, no one can take it away. The top contestants in previous years have cashed in their rewards."

Oh, that's it.

Knowing the reason, Diane said to Jon excitedly, "Master Jon, I will go sign up now! You wait."

As he spoke, he turned around.

However, Jon grabbed him and said, "Don't bother. Just transform back to your original form and carry the hammer away."

Ah this.

In Diane's impression, the normal process is to happily participate in a fighting tournament, defeat a group of opponents, and finally receive your own rewards.

Jon's suggestion is simply a crooked one...

But I have to admit that this method is indeed fast and good.

"Don't forget that our opponent now is the demon clan who are lurking in the dark." Jon said lightly.

But somehow, the subject suddenly changed: "So, let's participate."
