As if to dispel the fear of death, the past Waiters kept chatting while wrapped in bandages, and his flamboyant personality emerged again.
Although Bandage didn't respond much, it didn't dampen his interest in chatting.
As they chatted, West talked about the good old days when he was a kid in Yeongdo.
"On that island, my family lived in a big house in the center of the island. We had no worries about food and clothing every day. That was the best thing in my life. But my father had to go out to sea for a long time every time to buy goods."
"No one knows where my father gets his goods from, but his sapphires are of the best quality in the entire Yingdao Island. I think he must have gotten them from other sea areas, otherwise the quality wouldn't be so good."
"Because of my father's prosperous jewelry business, I had a carefree childhood. I had my own room, I had a dog, and I could afford a roast suckling pig every day. When I was young, I even went to my father's shop and played with gems as toys."
At this point, West's mouth curled up as he recalled the past. He seemed to have returned to the carefree days in the British Isles.
But soon his expression became a little gloomy again.
"But suddenly one day, my father disappeared, along with the passenger ship he built. No one knows whether he was attacked by pirates or dragged away by something in the water. After all, such things often happen in the sea."
"Sometimes I think, how nice it would be if I could see my father again. I really have a lot to say to him. His son has become a real man and can support his family with his salary!"
Bandage's eyes widened slightly as he discovered a secret from his past self. "What's your father's name?"
"Kevin Carr! That's my father's name."
Bandage stared at him for a long time, and finally said slowly: "You will meet your father..."
West was stunned. He looked at the bandage who had just spoken, "Mr. First Mate, how do you know? Have you met my father Kevin?"
Bandage's mind flashed through the image of the man who was rescued by the captain from the slave fishing boat when he was heading to Tianshui Island.
The man who was kneeling on the ground and crying, the man who was wolfing down food in the cafeteria, and the man who kept telling the crew how well-behaved and smart his son and daughter were.
And the man who, after receiving the news of the sinking of Yingdao from me, finally knelt on the deck, stuffed the gun barrel into his mouth in despair, and shot himself in the head.
Bandage opened his mouth with a tremor in his eyes, "But... at that time... maybe... you didn't recognize him anymore."
West said with a look of absolute rejection in his eyes: "Absolutely impossible! As long as I can see him, I will definitely recognize him!"
Bandage suddenly stopped and hugged West with his arms open. West was stunned for a moment, then he also hugged him with his arms.
There was actually a hint of happiness on Vitara's face.
"Thank you for comforting me, future first mate. My mother and brothers and sisters are supported by my pension, and I will be able to see my father in the future. I am really not afraid at all now."
Bandage stretched out his right hand tremblingly and patted his back. "Sorry..."
The future crew members looked at the scene in front of them with complicated expressions.
"First mate, what's wrong with you? Why are you apologizing to me?" Bandage's action made West feel at a loss.
"It's okay... Let's go... The captain... is waiting for us..." Bandage loosened his hands, lowered his head and walked forward.
West followed and continued chatting with Bandage enthusiastically.
"Do you think they are really the same person?" Dipper asked Feuerbach in a low voice.
"That should be the case. I don't know what happened to West afterwards and how he became like this." The green-haired second mate looked at the two people in front of him with a very complicated expression.
No matter how long the road is, there will always be an end. Finally, the two groups of people gathered at the entrance of the V4 shelter.
Two identical Charles were negotiating with each other. Bandage, standing under the tree, calmly looked at West who was waving at him.
This is the him of the past, and the him of the past will eventually pass away.
Suddenly, Bandage felt very unfamiliar with his past self. He found that he didn't know much about him except that his name was West.
He now really wants to find out more about his past.
"Wait, answer me first what 010 is. 003 is the god Futan, so 010 should be very powerful, right? Is it the one who created this time chaos bubble?"
"You'll find out once you go down there. Although it's a little dangerous inside, as long as you keep exploring, you'll be able to get out safely and eventually become who you are now."
After saying this, Charles waved his hand gently and led his crew away without looking back.
Everything was done and they could finally go home.
In the dim woods, the crew set out on their way home.
In order to avoid running into Charles at other times, they did not go through the woods this time, but ran to the coast first and walked along the coast towards the place where they landed before.
The atmosphere on the way back was much more relaxed, especially when the Pope said that he would give generous cash rewards to every member this time, the crew cheered even more.
"Charles, you did a good job this time. We have worked so hard for so long and finally found the exit. I can reward you with anything you need." The Pope said to Charles with a smile.
"Resurrect Lily."
The Pope showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Didn't I say it? For things like this, we have to wait until the God of Light is freed from the seal.
"In this case, there's no need for rewards. Let's just think about how to open this door. A huge door as big as an island may not be so easy to open." Charles said, looking up at the dark dome above.
"You don't have to worry about such a small matter. The foundation of our Church of Light is much greater than you think. You just need to wait for news on the island. A big door will not be a problem for us." The Pope's face was filled with joy.
The group of people walked back the way they came, talking and laughing. However, when they returned to the beach, everyone was stunned and the relaxed atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Where's the ship? Where's our ship?" No one answered Charles' words.
The giant ship and the Narwhal that were supposed to stay outside the bubble were completely gone, leaving only the dark waves shaking there.
There was no boat to leave, and they were trapped on this strange island.
