I Don't Care If the Child is Still Young, Let's Kill Him!

When Longinus' words fell, the dusty memories began to come back. All the slaves he rescued were staring at the bear child who had caused them to escape earlier with unkind eyes.

There were a thousand accusations and no end to it!

Let alone a young boy of 11 or 12 years old, a soldier who has experienced battlefield killings may suddenly suffer from so many angry stares.

"What do you... you want?"

Being so many angry eyes staring, the boy has long been not as tough as before. He dared to face the crowd alone before because he knew that those pirates would back him up. But now, that Marine... does not seem to talk as well as those pirates!

"You still have the nerve to ask what we want? Just now, if not for the timely arrival of Marine-san, Robin' s legs will be broken by that pirates. It is obvious that she ran back to save us!"

"It's just a broken leg, it's not like you're going to die. Besides, isn't it okay?" The bear child reluctantly muttered.

"You..."

Seeing many people with fierce faces approaching towards him, the little boy instantly panicked and whispered, "It's a big deal, the big deal... I apologize for that."

"Hmph! An apology? Is this kind of thing something that can be solved by a simple apology? Just because of your selfishness alone, you almost caused all of us to be unable to run away!"

"You guys don't go too far! I've said I want to apologize. What more do you guys want?" The little boy burst out in discontent, and for a moment, he had the upper hand of the situation.

The man who questioned before was "dumbfounded". He. look at Longinus as if for help, and the bear child also seems to have found the strength, "So what if it is the Marine? I have apologized, does he still dare to kill me?"

Longinus rubbed his smooth chin and uttered something that would make a bear child tremble with fear, "A death sentence? It's not impossible."

"You, what makes you qualified to kill?" The bear child forced himself to stabilize his mind. But when he saw the blood and flesh around him, he didn't have much strength.

The crowds around also began to whisper. Although they also hate this bear child who does not take the lives of others seriously, but when it comes to killing, they are vaguely afraid. After all, they are slaves who are kept in captivity like others, and not those vicious and tyrannical pirates.

Therefore, seeing the bear child look scared, more 'Virgin' people stand out for him.

"Marine-dono, the child is still young and does not know what to do..."

Longinus nodded with deep feeling, "The child is still young, it is better to die!"

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief that such words were coming from the mouth of the Marine who was guarding justice.

"No more jokes." Longinus said with a serious face, "The reason I said that is because he is a remnant of the Black Cloth Pirates!"

"Wait, a remnant party? What do you mean?" The abruptly awakened crowd quickly retreated and hid behind Longinus as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.

"He was a spy that the pirates purposely planted among you to sabotage your escape and to keep those pirates informed at all times."

Longinus said coldly, "If you let him go, your information will also be leaked out. Maybe the remnants of the Black Cloth Pirates will come after you again."

"Too lowly, too shameless!"

"No wonder he had to do that. Is he himself a member of the pirates?"

"Those who failed to escape and were hanged before must have been him who leaked the news."

"Kill him, you must kill him!"

It is somewhat ironic that those who defended the little boy before knew that the matter would involve their own safety and interests, their killing intent for the little boy was, in turn, firmer than anyone else.

The bear child's face was horrified, and he kept arguing: "I'm not, I'm not, I'm really not one of those pirates. I'm just jealous that bitch didn't share her power with me, you must believe me!"

A "pirate" with a bad record and a marine to protect justice, the crowd simply does not need to think much also knows who to believe. They looked at the boy with disdain and contempt, and no one stood up for him to defend.

"Getting rid of evil, I'm sure you can agree." Longinus lightly replaced the clip and aimed the gun's muzzle, which was blackened, at the bear child.

"Remove... remove the evil... " Robin's small face pale as if she recalled something, looking at the figure of Longinus like a demon.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really wrong. Don't kill me!" The little boy fell to the ground and could not stop retreating behind him.

Bang!

"Well, the evil 'pirates' are purged, you can leave without worry. I will let the Marine register you all, and a warship will send you home in a few days."

"Longinus-san, Hina-san, thank you!"

The rescued crowd walked out with a thousand thanks, and they couldn't wait to enjoy the long-awaited warmth of the sun.

"Whew! Is this what it's like to be a hero? It's so enchanting!" Hina said with a happy little face, "Hina is so happy, the evil pirates were solved, and the good people can return home again. What a fairy tale perfect ending!"

"No, the real situation is that most of them will probably never return to their homes again!" Longinus said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Hina let out a startled cry, not having any doubt about Longinus' words, but simply asked in disbelief, "And why is that? Haven't the pirates all been taken care of by now?"

"Because, most of them probably don't even know the name of the island they are on." Longinus knows very well that even water trains have not yet been created in this era of abysmal access to transportation. Once those ordinary people are forced to leave their homes, they may not be able to return again in their lifetime.

"So... where would they end up then?"

"A small percentage of people can be rescued, while the vast majority will end up stranded on this island. As time passes they no longer have hope and end up forming new families here... burying their wounds deep in their hearts."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because... when you peel back the gentle surface of this world, it is always the essence of bloody reality."

Longinus slowly walked towards the lonely Robin, "Little one, can you still remember your home?"

"No, don't you come any closer!" Robin screamed with hysteria as she gripped the small dagger she had found from nowhere in both hands and aimed it at Longinus.

Hina also returned from the sadness and saw this scene, with arms open like a little hen to protect Longinus behind, forgot that Robin is the weakest one, angry rebuke:

"Damned thief, what do you want to do to Longinus-nii? If it wasn't Longinus-nii who saved you, you would have been torn apart by those angry pirates. Now are you trying to take revenge?"

"No, I don't know, I don't know anything." Robin mumbled uncertainly, "But don't you come near me, stay away from me!"

Hina found that the little girl seems to be not quite right, as if in great fear. But the pirates have been wiped out, and here she and Longinus are the only two remain; is it possible that she is afraid of Longinus?

When she thought about it, Hina was slightly amused that even someone as lovely as Longinus could make people afraid?

"Is it because you stole Hina's money before and are afraid of being caught by Longinus-nii?" Hina graciously forgave, "Forget it, it's not much money anyway. Hina will just give it to you."

The fear in Robin's eyes dissipated slightly, and she finally broke free from the nightmare, but the dagger she was holding still didn't drop, "Thank you, I know you're all good people, but... I can't trust anyone anymore!"

Robin used the fruit power to throw a compact purse in front of Hina and then fled in a panic.

"Ah! It's Hina's purse!" Hina picked up her purse and looked at Robin with a worried and puzzled look, "Why did she run off by herself? Should we chase her back?"

Longinus shook his head slightly, "No need, unless I take off the coat of justice behind me, she will never stop running away."

Hina said with awareness: "So it's not you that she's afraid of, Longinus-nii, but the Marine uniform you're wearing?"

"But the Marine stands for justice, so why should she be afraid?"

"Who knows? Justice is the thing when it is needed!" Longinus turned around and walked toward the outside world.

Like, he knew very well that the little boy had nothing to do with the pirates, but what does that have to do with anything?

Justice is a tool for those in power to dress their own. It is only justice when needed, and the rest of the time, it is just two weak and pale fonts.
