People in the Navy: Invincible

Chapter 39 Partners and Burning Fruits ([-])

There is an island far away to the west of Binos Island, which is called "the ant nest hell of the sea" by the world. The island is surrounded by special vortex currents, and all those who approach it will be involved and cannot escape.

On the rocks on the beach, a man with a half mask was sitting. Facing the strange current, his face was full of despair.

This man named Deus, who has been inspired to become an "adventure storyteller" since he was a child, is about to record his last desperation and his last words of devotion to his dream.

The trembling hand couldn't put down the pen, so he threw the pen into the sea and pressed his forehead in frustration. He didn't want to die, he still had dreams.

boom!
Suddenly a small boat full of repair marks flew out of the current and hit the beach.No!It wasn't smashed, it was carried onto the beach.

"Wow! The beach here is great, it seems very suitable for going out to sea!"

Deus took a closer look, and saw that the man had black hair, freckles on his cheeks, an orange cowboy hat with two badges, one happy and one sad, a red bead chain around his neck, and broken sleeves.

Deus murmured, "Could it be that he was also swept in by the current?"

Ace saw someone on the beach, so he went to say hello to Deus: "Hi, hello."

Dieus was taken aback for a moment, and quickly responded politely: "Hello."

"Were you also swept in by the waves?" Ace asked.

"Um, ah, yes. I'm trapped here." Deus returned lonely.

Ace suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, the first time I went out to sea, I got sucked in here."

Hearing what Ace said, Deus's last hope was shattered. He originally hoped that the man in front of him would take her out.

Looking at it this way, it was difficult to swim alone, and instantly became a two-person team.

Ace looked at the small boat he brought out from the Windmill Village in embarrassment. It needed materials to repair it if it was broken like this.

"Well, is there any material to repair the boat on the island?" Ace asked.

"No." Deus said weakly, and then continued: "Materials are not the most important thing. The most difficult thing is the weird currents surrounding the island. We can't get out by rowing alone."

Before Deus finished speaking, Esla, who was in a hurry to repair the ship, ran away with Deus until he reached the bay on the other side of the island.

In the bay covered by rocks and boulders, sunlight shines through the gaps in the boulders, illuminating the entire cave.

Countless wrecks of ships are hoarded here, and countless ships are smashed here.

Deus was amazed: "So there is such a place on this island!"

Ace supported the cowboy hat, grinned, and pointed to a place: "Look there."

Deus looked in the direction of the finger and was stunned.

It was a giant dragon-headed battleship, with a rotten giant sword stuck on the bow deck. As time went by, waves and sea winds washed and corroded the wooden hull, but the battle scars and the smell of the warship could not be taken away. Heroic fighting spirit.

The rusty and dilapidated giant sword seemed to be telling the two of the glory of the past.

Dius exclaimed: "This is not an ordinary ship, is it a ship of the giants?"

Ace looked at the dazed Deus, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

Makino said, be polite and set an example for your younger brother.

Deus was taken aback, but did not answer. He abandoned his real name and face, and chose to wear a mask.

He said softly, "I think of a better pseudonym."

Ace shrugged with a smile and didn't ask any more.

The two began to collect the materials needed to repair the ship. That night, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and Deuss put the planks into the fire to roast.

Ace was taken aback. Why did he burn the materials he collected so hard? He quickly asked, "Why burn the wood?"

Diuss said with a smile: "Bake the wood until it is charred, which can increase the water resistance and durability of the wood."

"Oh? That's it, you are really good, you know so much." Ace stared blankly at Deus's magical operation, and he was full of admiration in his heart.

"Unfortunately, no food was found." Deus whispered.

Deus, who hadn't eaten for a long time, was pushed to the brink of collapse by hunger.

Ace was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "When we go out, let's have a big meal."

Deus looked at the man in front of him, he was in such a state, why could he always laugh?
Although Deus didn't understand why Ace could still laugh, he was also infected by his smile, and temporarily put aside his hunger and concentrated on burning wood.

Ace watched Deus burn the boards one by one, and couldn't help but ask him about his past.

Deus, who had seen many logbooks and design drawings of ships since he was a child, was deeply attracted by the "giant race and small human race" written in the book.

He dreams of going out to sea all day long, but he is ridiculed by the people around him, calling him a childish ghost and a liar.

Ace suddenly said seriously: "Maybe, as I was walking, I ran into it!"

Dius stared blankly at Ace, a guy with sincere eyes.

Ace smiled and told Deus about the stories Garp told him. There were scary guys bigger than the giants, there were little human elves who ran fast but were very strong, and there was one called the long-handed people. Humans, their hands are longer than their bodies, and murlocs, living [-] meters under the sea
Deus smiled and watched Ace tell the story to himself, he was silent, but he was very grateful in his heart, this guy was different from them.

For the next three days, relying on the only remaining fresh water, the two frantically repaired the boat. Seeing that the boat was about to be built soon, the hunger still disintegrated the will of the two.

Deus felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. He leaned against the tree in despair, staring at the blue sky with dead eyes.

Ace was never tired by the side, beating the boat non-stop.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A sound of knocking came into the exhausted Deus's heart.Deus turned his head to look at Ace, he was such an unwilling guy, he smiled, stood up again, and went to get the plank.

Two more days passed.

Black clouds billowed in the sky, thunder rumbled, and the strange currents on the sea surface became more turbulent. In an instant, a huge wind roared, and heavy rain fell.

"Protect our boat!" Deus looked at the wooden boat under the tree, and shouted at Ace who was running from a distance to hold the wooden board.And he used all his strength to drag the boat into the woods, hoping that the big trees could block the strong wind.

Ace dropped the plank and ran to the boat at full speed.

But the two had been hungry for nearly ten days, and there was still strength left. Ace ran against the wind with great difficulty. Deus dragged the boat desperately, but the boat didn't move at all.

A gust of wind hit and broke the big tree, and the trunk smashed hard on the small wooden boat carrying the hope of the two.

boom!
The wooden boat was smashed to pieces.

Ace fell down on the mountain road, and Seuss stared blankly at the broken wooden boat under the tree trunk.

The storm smashed the last hope of Deus.

After the storm, the two stared blankly at the shattered boat.

Ace stood up again and said in a vibrating voice: "Let's make another boat!" After speaking, he walked to the other side of the island.

But Deus collapsed completely, his eyes under the mask changed from despair to madness, he suddenly turned his head to stare at Ace's back, his eyes were bloodshot with scarlet from madness, he roared angrily.

"Doing it once? There is another time! I have no strength!"

"I'm not like you! I haven't eaten anything!"

Ace stopped, turned his head slightly, looked at Deus with sunken eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
