Chapter 74: Pazu's Confession, Catching Up with the Goliath

Dreams can be passed down. For example, Pazu's father passed on his dream to Pazu, and Dora is also pursuing her dream. Even if she can't achieve it herself, it doesn't matter, because there are successors.

Like the Pirate King Roger, he was willing to sacrifice his life for those who came after him. As for what Vampires was, did it matter?

Unlike Roger's regret, he never saw Luffy before he died, but fortunately, Ace inherited this will! Meanwhile, the Sky Pirate King Dora has already seen her successor.

The Tiger Moon Restaurant at this time.

"Ah! Don't grab it! That's mine, Charles, hold him down!!"

As Louis spoke, he forked away the sausage from his teammate next to him, while Charles pressed down on Liu Yufei's head, and Liu Yufei's hands continued to grab food.

"Haha, everyone, there's more in the kitchen, enjoy it to your heart's content!!"

"Did you hear me? And let go right now!!"

"Hey! You little rascal, that's a table! You'll eat anything!"

Liu Yufei was really hungry! He hadn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and his physical strength was severely depleted. If it weren't for the fact that the Qilin Fruit could draw energy from nature, he would have collapsed long ago. Now he could only try to make up for it with this food.

Although the scene was chaotic, it made Pazu and Sheeta feel very safe. Pazu was also eating heartily. This kid was really used to hardship. Back home, life was extremely difficult. Now, looking at the delicious food, he was eating with a vengeful attitude.

"Hahaha, Charles, you've got a rival now!!"

"Hmph, he's a monster, how could I possibly compare to him!"

Charles was the previous champion of eating, as you can tell from his physique, but now Liu Yufei has taken the throne of honor. And that's only because he didn't eat as much as he wanted; otherwise, he could have stuffed all their food down his throat without any problem.

"Ah! I'm so full! I can't eat anymore!!"

Baru was small and couldn't eat much, so Liu Yufei smiled and said:

"Palu, what kind of pirate can't eat? Pirates are all about being able to eat and fight, you know?"

As he spoke, he patted Balu on the shoulder, and the food Balu had put down almost came back up with Liu Yufei's pat.

After dinner, it was said that it was Shida's job, but in the end everyone cleaned up together. After the busy work, night fell!

Everyone immediately drifted off to sleep, until Louis on the bed nudged Balu, who then looked at Louis sleepily.

"Hey kid, wake up! It's our turn to stand guard. It's cold outside, take this blanket!"

The sky pirates really don't treat Pazu like an outsider! They directly assigned him a task, and the two of them walked out trembling.

Meanwhile, the entire airship was under Dora's surveillance. Sheeta, who was sleeping in Dora's room, also heard Pazu's name and immediately threw off the covers to find him. How to put it? She only felt safest when she was with Pazu.

When Sheeta came out, Dora, who had been fast asleep, also opened her eyes. It seems she was unusually vigilant!

Ten thousand meters in the air, Shida climbed the outer staircase against the wind.

"Hida!!"

Pazu immediately spotted Sheeta, and was both surprised and delighted!

"Baru!!"

Sheeta said this and leaped into the air. Pazu immediately grabbed her with both hands, narrowly escaping being blown away by the wind. Fortunately, Pazu had amazing arm strength and instantly pulled Sheeta into his arms.

"Ah! That scared me to death! Wow...it's so beautiful!!"

Sheeta's gaze was quickly drawn to the beautiful scenery of the sky, and Pazu smiled as he looked at Sheeta's beaming face.

Under the protection of auspicious clouds and starry skies, one, experiencing the stirrings of youth, and the other, blossoming with first love, poured out their hearts to each other. Pazu immediately pulled up the blanket and draped it over Sheeta.

"Haha, Shida, aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy, I'm thinking about some things!!"

"Oh! What are you thinking about?"

"I remembered some spells, some for healing, some for protection, and some that must never be spoken!"

"Hmm! A spell that can't be spoken?"

"Hmm! It's a spell of destruction. While acquiring some correct spells, you must also learn evil spells!!"

Actually, when Shida was little, her family taught her many spells, but because they were useless, they were gradually forgotten over time. Now she knows the function of these spells.

These days, Hida has been trying hard to recall, and finally remembered some spells that she remembered well.

Of course, Laputa left behind a lot, but as time goes by and generations pass away, only some important things remain.

"After learning these spells, I felt scared myself. I shouldn't have taken the necklace out! They said it could only be taken out on the wedding day, but that kind of thing should have been thrown away a long time ago!!"

Sheeta harbored some resentment towards her family. Laputa, after all, brought no benefit to her family, only disaster!

"No way! Thanks to that necklace, I was able to meet Sheeta. Even if we lose the Levitation Stone, the Sky City will still exist. It's not your fault!"

"Baru!!"

"Aircraft are improving every day. One day, humanity will still find Laputa! We just don't know what it will be like. If the Sky City is really an island of hell, then we can't hand it over to someone like Muska."

Pazu is a sane human, and his words indicate that one day, humanity will find Laputa. For humanity, what Laputa is is irrelevant, because with technological advancements, even without Laputa, they can recreate it.

Laputa is more than just a city; for some, it's hell, but for those in power, it's heaven. And what lies between heaven and hell is the living, breathing human world.

No one can escape Laputa, and Laputa is right beneath our feet. Hell and heaven are just a thought away, because living in this world is a curse!

Unfortunately, Laputa is ultimately just an object. Whether it is heaven or hell depends on who controls it. If, as Balu said, it falls into Muska's hands, then it truly will be hell!

But the existence of hell must have some purpose. As the saying goes, if Huang Chao doesn't come, you'll eat me; if Huang Chao comes, he'll eat you and me. In the absence of a sage, every shout brings us closer to the arrival of a killing star!

That's why some people in Water Margin are still fans of Li Kui—they really care! No matter how good or bad, kind or evil, everyone is equal before his axe.

And what is Laputa? To put it simply, it's a mushroom egg. With this thing around, no one dares to act recklessly. Once it's lost, a person's desires will swell infinitely.

As a nation with a history of secondary origins, they are well aware of this, which is why many of their films feature extreme destructive power, and they use this kind of thing to convey their values.

The so-called reflection on war is something the old man did oppose, but how to put it? In what context? His anti-war stance was more about pandering to Westerners.

That's not entirely true. It's just that the old man is human and has his own limitations. It's already quite remarkable that he was able to break free from those limitations. There's really no need to demand so much!

We scoff at what those outputs say; what they need isn't reflection, but introspection! (This is purely personal work! Feel free to criticize! After all, my knowledge is limited.)

Balu then crawled out from under the blanket and said:

Even if they escape, they will still catch up!

"But I don't want Pazu to become a sky pirate because of me!!"

"I will not become a sky pirate, Grandma Dora will understand all of this!"

Dora overheard their conversation and was surprised, not expecting that Palu had seen through her thoughts.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you back to the Kentia Valley after everything is over. I also want to see the place where Shida was born, the valley, and the yaks!"

Dora smiled with relief upon hearing this, while Louis and Charles on the other side were thoroughly embarrassed by Baruch's cheesy confession. It was definitely a super sweet and saccharine moment.

Click...

The sound of a camera shutter immediately drew their attention, and Liu Yufei smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Well...you guys continue, I just came out to relieve myself!! Hehe!!"

Upon noticing someone taking pictures, Hida immediately became shy and distanced herself from Balu, while Liu Yufei disappeared into the corner, leaving only his echoing excited voice.

"That was amazing, that was perfect!! I have to save this forever! Hahaha!"

Liu Yufei's funny antics put Xida at ease. Actually, Xida is a very heavy-hearted person. Because of her kindness, she subconsciously blames all the problems on herself.

Liu Yufei is truly a scoundrel. Every word he said to Shida weighed heavily on her mind, while Pazu consistently chose to comfort her. In comparison, the difference in their approaches is stark.

Actually, Liu Yufei really likes Xida, though not in that kind of way. But because of this, Liu Yufei seems like a child who never grows up and likes to mess with other people's feelings.

Only those with heavy hearts experience mental imbalance; an optimist like Pazu maintains a stable mindset and is unlikely to break down!

Characters like Musca, or Ashitaka before him, are intelligent. The more intelligent a person is, the more they think. Liu Yufei also enjoys using his precognitive abilities to manipulate their minds and finds pleasure in it!

Balu wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly turned forward.

"Oh my god! It's here, a military warship!!"

Hida immediately followed Balu's gaze and discovered the enormous creature beneath the clouds, a huge shadow, like a whale lurking in the sea. The Tiger was like prey being targeted in front of the Goliath.

"The Goliath is right below!!"

Balu immediately shouted, and Dora, still in her pajamas, rushed out the door. Seeing that Balu had indeed said so, she immediately gave the order to the control room:

"Turn the rudder and escape immediately!!"

bang... bang...

Several artillery shots rang out, but fortunately, most of the attack facilities had been destroyed by Liu Yufei beforehand, so the Hu'e was not overwhelmed by the barrage of fire, but a number of grenades still came flying at it.

Boom! !

Fortunately, Liu Yufei reacted quickly, immediately deploying his massive wings to block the attack. However, without the guardian's assistance, Liu Yufei clearly had no means of attack; even in his Quetzalcoatlus form, physical attacks were ineffective against such a behemoth.
