Here are the next 3 chapters, sorry for the late update...been busy with work
Day 36
Tomorrow, the Greybeard Pirates and I will sail for Grand Line. We helped the village rebuild as much as we can for the past two days, but Greybeard doesn't want to tarry on the island for too long in case more Marines come to make a mess of things.
Anyway, I heard a mother telling her children a story about Greybeard that I've never heard of before and trust me, I've heard a lot.
It went like this:
"Greybeard was once a Marine Admiral and was good and just. He patrolled the seas, fighting pirates and kept it safe for us. One day however, Greybeard met an enemy the likes of which he never faced before. A terrible battle took place, one that resonated throughout the Four Blues and Grand Line itself. It is said that the battle caused islands to sink, mountains to crumble and tidal waves to rage across the world. The battle lasted three days and three nights before Greybeard, then known as Admiral Arden, emerged victorious, though it was dearly bought. His crew, the Marines who were under his command were all massacred in the battle and Greybeard himself suffered grievous wounds. It was said that the wounds from the battle and the loss of his subordinates drove the Admiral mad and he turned against the Navy. Greybeard murdered hundreds; some say thousands of Marines who resided in Marineford before escaping. He openly declared the World Government his enemy, and has since spent his life fighting it."
That's how it went more or less. The women was using a lot of big words and her kids kept stopping her halfway to ask her to explain words that they don't understand.
Greybeard, a former Marine Admiral?
Sounds kind of absurd, but maybe I should ask the old man about it.
