78: Chapter 78 Polar SubmarineLaw watched Wolf's departing figure, unsure of what to do.Luffy vaguely understood what he wanted to do, so he led Law to follow Wolf's footsteps and gestured for the two of them and the bear to follow as well.
The four men and the bear followed Wolf all the way to the nearest naval branch.Seeing the old man exchanging his son's corpse for a bounty, the four men and the bear couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Because now no one can comfort this old man who is kind even to strangers, as he is experiencing such complex emotions.
Seeing the old man emerge with the money, head bowed and looking somewhat forlorn, Luo stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Wolf, are you.are you alright?"
Wolf looked up and saw Luo.He forced a smile and said, "It's Luo.Come on, let's go pay off those debts with Grandpa."
Luo understood that Wolf wanted to atone for his son's sins as much as possible, so he didn't say much, nodded, and silently followed Wolf.
Wang Luffy, his two friends, and the bear looked at each other hesitantly.Then Bepo said, "Does Grandpa Wolf's family owe anyone money?We've lived together for several years, and no one has come to collect debts."
Shaki replied, "Are you stupid?Grandpa Wolf obviously went to distribute that money to the families that were ruined by Bag.Don't you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Bepo lowered his head deeply and replied, "My comprehension is terrible, I'm very sorry."
Wang Lufei said, "Stop chatting, let's go and see what's going on."
Then the three men and the bear resumed their pursuit.Wolf divided the bounty into many portions and went door to door, kowtowing and apologizing.
Seeing this, Luo wanted to follow suit and kowtow as well, but Wolf held Luo's arm tightly, preventing him from doing so, and said:
"Child, this is the sin of both Bag and me.Bag has already been converted into a bounty, so I must be the one to atone for it.You can just stand by and bear witness."
Luo couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he tried his best to help him kneel down.Meanwhile, most of the residents of Swallow Island knew this kind old man and tried to stop him when they saw him doing this, but in the end, they couldn't persuade the old man.
Wolf kowtowed to every single resident of the neighborhood from morning till night, until he finished kowtowing to the last house and then passed out, collapsing into Luo's arms.
Seeing this, Law quickly used his Op-Op Fruit ability to see through his body and found that he had fainted due to over-fatigue and a sudden relaxation of his high alertness.He breathed a sigh of relief, but then, still a little worried, used his fruit ability to purify his cells.
Then the three men and the bear suddenly appeared and helped Law carry Wolf back to his bed in his cabin.
After finishing their tasks, the group saw that it was getting late and invited Wang Lufei to sleep at their home.It was basically just one large bed, which they all squeezed together to sleep in.
However, Wang Luffy slept quite well, falling asleep while leaning against Bepo.After all, who can resist a teddy bear pillow?
Wolf woke up, looked at the dawning sky and the boys huddled together, fast asleep, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.Having lived for many years, he understood the importance of looking forward in life, and after yesterday's apology, his heart felt a little more at ease.
Then Wolf quietly left and headed into the forest behind.Law and Luffy both sensed the commotion, so they both opened one eye slightly and saw that it was Wolf.They couldn't help but feel a little curious, and then got up to follow him.
However, the two got up almost at the same time, and then they looked at each other awkwardly.Then Wang Lufei said, "Want to come together?Let's go."
Luo nodded and followed Wolf into the dense forest with Wang Luffy.Wolf turned and twisted and finally arrived at the deepest cave, which turned out to be an inner lake connected to the sea, where a yellow submarine was moored.
Wolf gently stroked the submarine's metal frame and muttered to himself, "Buddy, it's time to part ways.I've found you some good masters; they're sure to accomplish great things and make you famous for all time."
Wolf then said to the people behind him, "Come out, kids, I saw you when I went out."
Wang Lufei and Law both came out somewhat surprised, and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, we didn't mean to follow you, we were just a little curious."
Wolf replied, "Haha, the old man wouldn't be so petty as to get angry over such a small thing.Come and take a look, this is my previous invention, the Polar Diving Seacraft."
Since I haven't been able to find a good owner, it's been sitting here unattended.But after what happened yesterday, I've realized that you might be its best owners, so I'd like to entrust it to you.Please treat it well.
Luo reached out and touched it with some disbelief, and was immediately captivated by it.After all, what boy could resist the allure of a super cool machine?
Wang Lufei examined it closely and couldn't help but compare it with his own Thunder Ride, finding that this thing was much cooler.
Seeing how much the two boys liked his invention, Wolf stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Do you like it?You can go in and take it for a test drive."
The three then spent a pleasant morning circling the submarine.Meanwhile, the two people and the bear at home were completely bewildered, having no idea where the other three had gone.
Pekin said to Bepo, "Aren't you a bear?Your nose is seven times more sensitive than a dog's!Quickly sniff where they went, let's go find them!"
Bepo said with a troubled look, "I am a bear, and my sense of smell is indeed seven times more sensitive than a dog's, but I am not a dog, so I can't smell scents that have been there for so long."
Xia Qi said, "Tsk, you're really useless.Hurry up and transform!"
Bepo retorted defiantly, "Go to hell."
wearSeeing that the two members were about to fight before they could reach an agreement, Jin quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, stop arguing.Since Bepo's nose is no good, let's think of another solution quickly."
Upon hearing that he had a bad nose, Bepo didn't even bother to apologize and retorted, "Who said I have a bad nose?Our polar bears have a sense of smell seven times more sensitive than dogs.We.we're just not good at smelling things that are too old!"
However, as Bepo spoke, he realized he wasn't quite sure of himself, so he turned it into an apology: "I'm sorry, my nose is seven times more sensitive than a dog's, but it doesn't work."
The two complained, "Since you've apologized, don't keep emphasizing that your sensitivity is seven times that of a dog!"
Soon after, Wang Lufei and his two companions returned.Seeing the two people and the bear bickering, Wang Lufei couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?What are you talking about?"
When Bepo saw Law return, he quickly clung to his leg, crying and sniffling, "Shakky and Peggy are always bullying me!I told you I can't smell your scent anymore, but they still forced me to!"
The two were somewhat unconvinced and said, "Didn't you say your nose was seven times more sensitive than a dog's?Who knew it would be so useless?"
Seeing this, Luo also spoke up to persuade them, "Alright, stop arguing.We're back now, aren't we?And this time, we brought back some good news!"
