General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 2 Darkness Breeds
"what!"

Old Jerry's heart-rending screams scratched the eardrums of the surrounding pirates, causing the smiles on everyone's faces to stop suddenly, like a chicken being strangled by the neck.

"It hurts! Let me go! Let me go!"

Amid the tearing pain, Old Jerry's senses became particularly acute.

He seemed to be able to clearly feel that his tofu-like soft brain was being squeezed by a few dry fingers and was about to explode at any time.

His eyes were dark, and warm liquid was flowing out of his eyes, just like his crotch.

The only difference is that the blood flowing from the eye sockets is red, while the water flowing from the crotch is yellow.

"Damn it! Kill him! Kill him quickly!"

The sudden change shocked all the pirates for a moment, and then they all drew out their swords and short spears and pounced on them from all directions.

Rorschach was just like that, surrounded by wolves. The five fingers of his right hand deeply clasped Old Jerry's facial features and raised them in front of him. The look on his face seemed to be crying but not crying.

"You know what? I thought this would be a wonderful and colorful life. Compared with the dark fate of my previous life, this place would be a new journey in my short life."

"I've been waiting for 12 years, but I haven't waited for those friends who roam the sea freely in the name of their dreams. Instead, I've waited for a stomach that can never be filled, and for a bunch of pirates who burned, killed, and looted. The death of that ordinary father who only knew how to fish!"

Blood filled Rorschach's eyeballs, making the already deep-set eye sockets seem to glow with blood.

"Tell me! Why is this?!"

The uncontrollable grief and anger seemed to burst his soul and body from the inside out.

Rorschach looked like a mad tiger, and the five fingers that dug into old Jerry's eyes closed together. In a burst of heart-wrenching clicking sounds, old Jerry's entire face was shattered, and the body slipped from Rorschach's hands. fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!
The deafening gunfire finally sounded after the pirates loaded gunpowder in a panic.

The iron bullet mixed with acrid gunpowder smoke passed by Rorschach and did not hit his body at all.

At a short distance of 20 meters, the short-handled flintlock guns in the hands of the pirates were like bluffing toys, and the hit rate of the bullets fired was almost zero.

Only other pirates armed with sharp blades truly pose a fatal threat to Rorschach.

Rorschach, who was hungry in his belly and the world in front of him was bloody, had already expended too much energy just standing.

Not to mention, he has to face more than a dozen cruel and bloodthirsty pirates.

For a moment, he was unable to dodge, and his tall body was hit by four or five blunt knives. A wave of pain penetrated his heart, making his body shake a few times.

It hurts.

But compared with the beatings he suffered from his rotten gambler father in his previous life, and the grief in his heart at this moment, it was nothing worth mentioning.

Rorschach was not originally from this world.

In his previous life, he had a dark childhood that he couldn't bear to look back on.

The father, who is addicted to gambling, drags his family into a bottomless abyss.

Her mother couldn't bear the divorce and she could only live with her father.

The father who won the money was very generous and kind.

He would take Rorschach to the amusement park and eat at the hotpot buffet.

And when he loses money, Rorschach's nightmare begins.

Beating, cursing, hysteria, and resentment, his father vented all his anger on him.

This caused the young Rorschach to suffer from severe depression very early, closing his heart and rejecting any warmth.

From then on, he fell in love with reading novels, watching anime, and playing games.

Academic performance plummeted as a result.

The head teacher found his father to understand the situation, but in exchange Rorschach was beaten again and again.

Finally, on a dim morning, Rorschach became a free bird and flapped his wings away from the so-called home.

When Rorschach opened his eyes again, he saw two old people relying on each other, saw the loving smiles on their faces, and saw himself in swaddling clothes, becoming a baby.

Old John and his wife had a son, and they doted on him and cared about him.

Rorschach finally felt the real human warmth.

During the day, old John went out to sea to fish, and Ms. Elizabeth took care of this hard-won new life at home, while weaving bamboo baskets and dustpans, and exchanging some surplus grain with other people in the village to supplement the family income.

Life is ordinary, but it is what Rorschach dreams of.

Rorschach's birth brought a huge burden to the already stretched poverty of Old John's family.

For some reason, Rorschach was born with an amazing appetite, and his growth and development rate was several times faster than his age.

The main occupation of people living in Hongye Village is fishing.

Other than that, there is no other choice.

This small island has few resources and barren land. Even if there are seeds planted, it is difficult to harvest much food.

Traffic on the sea is blocked, and often not a single merchant ship can be seen for several months.

The barren Hongye Village has no special products. It is like an isolated island, drifting alone outside the world.

But what's ridiculous is that even for such an isolated island, tax officials from the Lubnilu Kingdom come on time every year to collect taxes and collect high amounts of heavenly gold.

The huge pressure to survive forced John and his wife to live frugally and work harder.

In such a difficult situation, Rorschach still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude.

One is because he truly feels the warmth of family affection.

Another very important reason is that when he grew up, he finally learned from the most knowledgeable village chief in the village what kind of world he was living in.

This is the world of One Piece!
It was the world of anime that he loved most in his previous life.

Rorschach's love for One Piece is obsessed to the core.

He can accurately tell the name, origin, appearance time, and fruit abilities of every character in this comic.

During the period when he suffered from severe depression, it was One Piece, a passionate and touching anime, that helped him get through the most difficult years of his life.

The first time he learned this information, Rorschach was ecstatic and felt that his life was complete.

There are loving parents, as well as the sea and distance that I yearn to pursue.

He has even thought about his future plans.He wants to start exercising from a young age, strengthen himself, earn a lot of money, and let his parents live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Go to the East China Sea to find your favorite Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others, shamelessly join their pirate group, and see the magnificent sea.

Maybe one day in the future, I can meet and fight with those strong men on the sea.

He even felt that his body, which was far taller than his peers, might also contain unknown mysterious power that could help him step onto the world stage one day in the future.

All these illusions were gradually shattered until his mother, Ms. Elizabeth, died of an ordinary cold three years ago.

He couldn't figure out how his mother could be taken away by a common cold.

Aren’t the people in this world of pirates physically as strong as monsters?

Cruel reality came one after another, making Rorschach realize the true face of this world.

As he grew older, his appetites became more and more exaggerated.

There was enough food for ten people, and Rorschach ate it as if he hadn't eaten.

His stomach was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much he ate, he still felt unbearably hungry.

At the same time, his height has mushroomed like mushrooms after a spring rain. At just 12 years old, he reached an astonishing [-] meters.

Because of his unfilled stomach, he was severely malnourished, causing his hair to turn pale and his body to become thin. Apart from a skeleton with thick joints, there was almost only a layer of skin left on his whole body.

Such a Rorschach cannot even complete the simple task of helping his father cast and close the net.

He became a waste and could only stay at home every day, waiting for his father to come back from fishing and fill his stomach with [-]% of the fish caught.

Old John, who lost his wife, became older and older.

Every time Rorschach saw him returning from fishing with a tired look, and a loving smile on his face the moment he entered the door, his tears would flow uncontrollably.

Rorschach hated himself for being incompetent.

He thought about getting over it once and for all, ending his life again and letting the poor old man go.

That day, Rorschach watched Old John's back disappear from the door of the wooden house. After sitting there for a long time, he pulled out a rusty harpoon from behind the wooden door.

What he didn't expect was that when he was about to pierce the harpoon into his throat, Old John, who had always been busy all day, actually left and came back.

That day was the first time Rorschach was beaten after he came to this world. He was beaten for half an hour by his father, John, with red eyes.

After the beating, Old John said to him with tears in his eyes: "Child, you have to remember that when you came into this world, you did not harm me, but saved me and Elizabeth. No matter what happens in the future, even one day I left, and you must live strong and live better than us. Your life has not yet begun, but your life is meaningful!"

From then on, Rorschach regained his strength and began to do his best to do something for this family.

He no longer fantasizes about illusory things.

When Old John went fishing, Rorschach would carry the bamboo basket her mother had woven before her death and pick up shells and small fish left behind after the low tide on the beach.

He also learned how to weave exquisite bracelets and necklaces from the small shells he picked up.

Rorschach put aside the shyness of a modern person, took those knitted bracelets, and exchanged some unpalatable black bread, or fish and shrimps with the aunts in the village.

He still remembered that when he returned home for the first time with the black bread he had received and handed it to Old John, Old John burst into tears, crying like a child.

"When my child grows up, he will definitely be a good man who is upright and upright. Elizabeth will be proud of you." Old John touched his head and said happily.

Then, here comes today.

Old John felt a little unwell and was forced to stay at home by Rorschach, preventing him from going out to fish.

I went out early in the morning, went to the beach by the sea, and started picking up shells, fish and shrimps.

Today's harvest was very good. Rorschach even picked up a crab as big as a wooden basin.

He was very happy and was already thinking about how to use this big crab, the remaining dried salted fish at home, and the brown bread he exchanged to stew a delicious dinner.

then
He saw the burning village and the blood-red sky illuminated by the fire.

When he ran back in despair, he saw that the familiar wooden house had been reduced to ruins.

Old John held tightly in his hand the piece of black bread he had exchanged for yesterday, and allowed the flames to burn his body. He still curled up desperately to protect the insignificant piece of black bread in his arms.

scoff!

The blade cut into the dry skin, and was blocked by the hard bone, preventing it from going deeper.

The pirates who besieged Rorschach with evil smiles on their faces gradually discovered a fact that frightened them.

That is, no matter how they hacked, the skeleton in front of them stood silently.

No screams!

No backing off!

No crying and begging for mercy!

Letting the blood stain his whole body, the other party stood like this, and the tragic aura exuding from his body became stronger and stronger, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

Finally, one of the pirates couldn't help but let out a scream of fear, threw away the blunt knife in his hand, turned around and ran away.

The pirate felt that it was definitely not a human being!
In the dark, there seemed to be a dark will rising from the depths of Luo Xia's heart, trying to erode his entire being.

"why why why?"

There was a voice roaring in my heart.

"Why do I have to suffer such a crime? Don't I, Rorschach, deserve to have a decent life?"

"Civilians should die. Is it a crime to be weak?"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes were scarlet and looked like evil spirits, staring at Jericho the Ripper not far away, his voice rising like rolling thunder.

"Answer me! Pirate!!"

boom!
Power comes from nowhere.

The ground under his feet was trampled to cracks. The crazy Rorschach opened his arms and rushed into the circle of pirates like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep. In the horrified eyes of the pirates, he swept his right arm and swept away The dull knives they wielded broke in their hands.

The terrifying power advanced layer by layer and hit the bodies of four or five pirates. They didn't even have time to scream. The upper body hit by Rorschach's big hand showed obvious displacement, and the bones all over the body crackled and exploded. There was a loud noise, and the body was like a squashed tomato, with countless bright red blood arrows shooting out from all parts of the body.

"Let go of me! Go away!"

A pirate couldn't dodge, and Rorschach pounced on him. He grabbed his shoulders with two big hands like steel pliers. He watched helplessly as the pirate opened his mouth full of white teeth and bit his face fiercely.
