Chapter 256: I Resign
Alexander appeared at Ohara. It was already burning red. The tree had fallen down.
He was on the southernmost side of the island. There he saw a marine sitting alone for some reason. Alexander was out of his field of view.
A little girl came running towards there, crying. She seemed shocked seeing the man there. Soon they started talking.
"...but consider yourself lucky to still have your life. Try to live as plainly as you can... I left a line of ice on the sea. Travel straight ahead with this small boat, and you'll reach an island... And the... Always remember. I am not your ally. If you do something, I'll be the first enemy to come capture you." The man said all that and started walking away.
The girl scaredly turned around and shouted, "My mom is on the island."
"No one will be saved... If it's so painful that you want to die, you're free to do so." The man said.
The little girl looked down, desperate, hopeless, powerless, and sad, all these emotions going on in her young head. Knowing her mother and everyone she loved would die soon and she had to escape. It was killing her.
Alexander walked towards her and patted her head softly. She looked up to see who it was. "Don't worry, little one. Let's go and save your mother."
The man heard him and looked back cautiously. Alexander continued speaking.
