Jones Colton is an Obasan in her thirties, but she doesn't look old. She has a side-tied ponytail, a tight red skirt, a black coat, and sexy red lips. There was a wisp of smoke. Mature and cool.
The cigarette slowly turned into ashes and disappeared. Jones Colton looked at the sky and ocean outside the captain's room. Although the location of the captain's room was not the best place to enjoy the scenery, she could still take in both the top and bottom.
This flower boat in Happy Street is called the Lilac. It is a new ship. It was actually only built for three years. However, it sails on the sea of the "New World" with extremely complex weather. With the influx of new people, Many little pirates in this world actually don't know their Happy Street brand, so fighting is inevitable.
Looking at the chart on the ship, Jones fell into deep thought.
Until a knock on the door pulled her back.
"Captain Jones, I brought here the little girl we fished out a few days ago."
"That little girl?" Jones nodded, suddenly remembering that girl just because she suddenly remembered such a thing.
Although a child will not bring any changes to Lilac's daily consumption, Lilac will not raise an idler for no reason. This is a gray industry dominated by the erotic industry, even though its existence has objectively given many benefits. A desperate woman has a way out, but a quagmire remains a quagmire.
Kindness exists, but it is not essential.
Interest is always the heaviest weight that can tilt the balance.
"Let her in." Jones said as she put out her cigarette butt and straightened her posture.
Soon Yuyuko walked in supported by Mina.
Looking at this scene, Jones sighed silently.
Jones had already asked before calling the girl. After learning that the girl still looked sick after a few days, she thought it was because they had talked about it, but now she saw it.
This weak body seemed even more unbearable.
Sick seedlings that are useless.
Even receiving guests is mostly impossible.
You must know that there are no weak guests in the 'New World'. For them, this kind of sick person is simply contemptible.
Even if a powerful lion is looking for pleasure, he will not seek out a weak domestic cat.
He glanced at Mina Jones, who was supporting Yuyuko, and said calmly, "Mina should have told you something, so I'll keep it short. Shikami Yuyuko, right, do you want to stay on the Lilac?"
Youyouzi buried her head and said nothing, and the scene became a little quiet.
Yuyuko was thinking about it. Mina had told her on the way here that the captain was probably going to ask her about her decision to stay or go.
Although the flower boats in Happy Street are a safe haven for women at sea, it is only relative. An industry is an industry.
There are many boats in Happy Street that rescue people who have fallen into the water, but there are double standards for men and women.
If you encounter a man who has fallen into the water, if you have money, you can give him a ride. On the contrary, if you don't, it may be normal to give you a kick to help you return to the sea.
And if you are a woman, it will be much better. Regardless of whether you have money or not, the ships on Happy Street will lend a helping hand to you, and the choice given is not whether you have money, but whether to stay or go. If you have family members who want to go home and have travel expenses, Happy Street will not mind letting you leave the next time you dock for supplies, but if you choose to stay, you must be willing to accept a future job on the flower ship.
Of course, those who choose to leave need to pay a shipping fee if they have money, while those who do not have money will need to sell their labor force for a period of time.
Needless to say, the deck is yours.
So Yuyuko was hesitant.
Whether to choose to stay or to leave.
Staying is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment, but Yuyuko, who has another memory, does not simply think that staying is only beneficial. Although One Piece is a passionate comic, the structure of its world is undoubtedly a jungle world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the jungle. If you want others to be nice to you, then you have to be ruthless enough. This kind of ruthlessness does not mean being cruel, but rather possessing real power.
And this power had better be possessed by oneself, otherwise it might become a pair of withered bones buried in the sea that never sees the light of day.
Happy Street is indeed a powerful force, at least just from the fact that this force can gain a foothold in the 'New World'.
but……
Flower boat~
What the flower boat does is to sell singing, performing arts, and selling one's body. Needless to say, the people it serves are rough guys from all over the sea, unscrupulous pirates, bounty hunters, and passing merchant ships.
Before she came to this world, she was one of them... No, she wasn't that mean, at least she was still a virgin...
Exposed...
Leaving this option seems a bit complicated, for no particular reason. It's just because Youyouzi can't have familiar people outside, so if she leaves the flower boat, it will be an unknown route with a confusing future, where life and death are unknown, and misfortunes and blessings are unknown.
This uncertain future is undoubtedly another huge challenge for her, who just a few days ago was living in a public institution under the arrangement of her family.
But this path is the most free...
After all, the flower boat is not a place where you can get on and off as you please~
Seeming to see Yuyuko's hesitation, Jones said calmly, "What the ship needs is not just a service woman, and you can't do it with your body. Looking at your clothes, you should have learned some skills in Wano Country before." Bar."
Jones's words were not without purpose. The hesitation actually revealed many problems. This kind of behavior is basically experienced by most women who join Happy Street. Their hesitation is just an instinctive resistance to this industry, but The hesitation alone shows that the other path is not friendly to them.
After all, Jones is already very familiar with this routine.
"We don't need you on the platform. If you can dance... forget it, I didn't say it. If you know some musical instruments or some handicrafts, you can't stay."
Temptation, naked temptation...well, this should simply state the facts.
From Yuyuko's point of view, Jones didn't have any desire for her to stay, and her existence was actually just dispensable.
But Jones was right about one thing.
Shikami Yuyuko's original family background in Wano Country was really good. Although the small kimono she wore was thin, the patterns on it were not something that ordinary people could use casually.
However, the Shimi family are staunch supporters of the Kozuki family, so although Shimi's family is only a small family, it has been severely suppressed. It is impossible to say that the death of his parents is not caused by the Kozuki family.
When her family was well off, her parents did teach her a lot of women's arts, the earliest being writing, piano music and women's music, and these memories have been left intact to her now. At the same time, this was also the happiest time in Yuyuko Shikami's memory.
So operationally she does have the basic conditions to stay on board.
An artistic skill.
But~the service is rough and so on...
Little... I really can't do it!
So isn't the answer already obvious?
Youyouzi raised his head.
"It seems you already have an idea, please tell me." Jones' eyes were calm, and she didn't know how many times she had said this.
Taking a deep breath, Youyouzi looked at each other and said, "I choose..."
"Leave!"
"Really~ I know it's coming." Jones sighed slightly and waved her hand to signal Mina to leave with Yuyouzi. "I will let someone teach you well. Now it's better to take care of your body first."
After Mina and Yuyuko left, Jones lit up cigarettes again.
Shikami Yuyuko can stay.
This is actually not a big burden on this flower ship, and if it doesn't work, she can let Youyouzi off the ship at the next supply point. The cost of a child is really not high.
After swallowing for a while, his eyes fell on the chart on the side again. His eyes were a little solemn, and his brows frowned unconsciously.
"The new world is already in chaos. Why don't you talk to the others about going to Sihai and the first half of it."
The sea breeze blew up a newspaper on the table, and the reward orders appeared on the paper.
"Huh~"
Exiting the captain's room, Yuyuko let out a long breath.
"I don't know why I feel like the captain is a bit scary~"
"Yeah, right!" Mina chuckled, "I told you before~ When everyone saw the captain for the first time, they were all shocked by the captain's temperament~ In fact, the captain is a good person!"
Youyouzi smiled slightly and did not answer.
Good guy?
not necessarily.
Just at least he's not a bad guy without a bottom line.
Although she didn't have much social experience, Yuyouzi still made such a judgment based on her previous experience of seeing people.
It was puzzling that a captain could take the time to ask her about a little person, and from what Mina said, Yuyuko even learned that every woman on the Lilac ship who fell into the water was singled out by the captain. After looking for it, I understood a lot.
People in life cannot only speculate on others with the worst malice, but sometimes also use the best kindness to speculate on others.
There are black and white in the world, but most of them are gray...
At Mina's insistence, Yuyuko was helped back to the room. It is said that the room is just a simple cabin with a hammock hanging and a window to let in the sea. There is another hammock hanging next to it, but there are two clothes, which belong to Mina.
After settling Yuyouzi, Mina gave Yuyouzi a few more words and left in a hurry.
There is no difference between day and night on the flower boat on the sea. The wanton laughter of guests and the playfulness of women have never stopped. However, most of the harmonious things are done under the cover of night. During the day, the main thing is to drink, brag and listen to small songs. . Although Mina is also a child, she still needs to go to the kitchen to help with the ingredients in exchange for her right to stay on the ship.
This ship does not support idlers.
Because the hammock was curly, Yuyuko was not very used to it. Whether it was him or her now, the hammock was a novel experience, and this experience was not as comfortable as imagined after a long time.
Filtering out the noise, Yuyuko began to think about something that made her feel unusual.
About her body.
