After a night of comfortable experience, Shanks and his crew returned to their pirate ship happily.
Shanks yawned and told the guys to set sail.
Then he looked at his empty treasury and couldn't help but sigh.
A bunch of people with no conscience... Sooner or later, labor and management will impeach your little brother...
Then he put the straw hat on his face.
sleep.
In the dream, my Bailey was still beside me.
However, when the ship left the Lilac for a long distance, Lucky Lu gnawed on his big chicken leg and kicked open the door of the captain's cabin.
"Captain, come out quickly and see what the brothers found?"
Hanging listlessly with dead fish eyes, Shanks stood up limply. He glanced at Lackey speechlessly, and then yawned "Ahhhhh~".
"What's the matter? Captain, I don't have the money to hold a banquet now~"
Lucky chuckled, "Hehe, until you have money, boss, the banquet will only depend on fate!"
Shanks rolled his eyes at Lucky and cursed him for being a foodie, then silently opened his water bag and drank. Well, originally it was a wine bag, but...
"Tell me, what happened, you have to call me out."
"Hey, Captain~ We found three little lolita on the ship, cute little lolita that can be broken!"
"puff!"
Shanks squirted out a mouthful of water and immediately became more energetic. "What did you say, three little lolita?! Are you kidding me!"
Yuyuko and Mina dragged Kona, who was stunned by physics, and hid in an unknown general room on the Red Voss. Then Yuyuko and Mina persisted until dawn, then they couldn't hold on any longer and struggled to fall asleep slowly.
Fortunately, Yuyuko's physical stun fighting machine had a magical effect, and Kona didn't even wake up at night.
After the Red Foss sailed for a certain distance, Kona slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that Yuyuko and Mina had fallen asleep, she shook her head and sat up.
Looking at the two guys who were sleeping deeply with a lot of dust on their bodies, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you really think that one blow can make me faint for so long..."
Yuyuko's blow did knock her out, but she actually woke up when they dragged her into the grocery store. It wasn't that Yuyuko's method was wrong, but that Kona's physique was stronger than the two of them. Well, I don’t know how much.
After all, before boarding the flower boat on Happy Street, she had developed a strong body for self-protection. Although she fainted, her body recovered quickly.
Kona didn't understand why Yuyuko and Mina left the Lilac, but after thinking about it for a while, Kona suddenly remembered Yuyuko's question when she was handling the ingredients. Did she find out? Lilac is actually..."
He took a deep look at Youyouzi. Kona fell into deep thought.
For a long time, Kona sighed helplessly, "Pirates who don't do bad things? I don't believe in this kind of thing~"
"That's all, two little guys that make people worry."
As she spoke, Kona touched the root of her thigh, loosened the bandage that had been tied to her left leg, and then took out two slightly curved daggers. A silver light flashed in his eyes.
"For the sake of you usually calling me sister, I will protect you on the road behind."
In fact, she had already had this plan when she acquiesced to the two men dragging her to the Red Forth.
She was vaguely aware of the secret of the Lilac in the second month after boarding the ship. It was just an intelligence organization in the guise of a flower ship. She didn't know who was in charge, but after some thought, Ke Na stayed on the ship.
Not for anything else, just because although this ship is not clean, it is surprisingly stable compared to the disorderly new world outside.
She comes from a small island in the first half of the New World whose magnetic field is not recorded by navigational needles. Tatara Island is an island that few people will approach except for the occasional unexpected arrival of people who have lost their way.
But later, a large pirate group followed the footsteps of the Pirate King and came to the New World Sea, and undoubtedly came to Tatara Island. What followed was a disaster.
Kona tied Panasonic's bandage to a circular ring on her trousers on the back, and then put the bandage through the dagger's tail buckle and tied it to both ends of the bandage. After doing this, Kona pushed forward with determination to die. Opened the door of the grocery store.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he heard an incomprehensible voice.
"Hey little girl, you guys are awake~"
Kona immediately clenched the dagger in her hand and looked at the slovenly man sitting in front of her with a wary expression.
"who are you?"
Jesus Bu smiled slightly, "Of course I am the crew of this ship~ I was the one who let you on the ship yesterday~ Hey, don't be impulsive."
Jesus Bu dodged Kona's swift attack and stood up, stood aside and turned the musket in his hand before inserting it back into his waist. "I have no intention of doing anything. You know, I helped you guard here all night last night." It’s me~”
At this time, a broad figure walked in, "Mmmmmmm~Jesus Bu, why are you hiding here all night? It's been so long since you set sail, get up and say hello! Digging, is this the little girl from there?!"
"Hehe, I put this in last night when I was guarding the boat~"
Lackey's small eyes under his glasses flashed, he smiled, and gave Jesus Bu an elbow and said obscenely, "Jesus Bu can't believe that he can't help but want to eat meat after being away from home for half a year?"
Jesus rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "What are you thinking about? These are just three little mice that slipped over from Happy Street yesterday."
"Fuck, three! Jesus Bu, you are really strong! I admire you."
"Lucky, you bastard, stop talking nonsense~ Wait, don't do anything, you little guy! Forget it, I'll tie you up first."
So more than ten minutes later, on the deck of the Red Foss, more than ten crew members stared blankly at the three little girls in the middle who were casually tied and sitting under the mast.
A group of people with big question marks on their big heads.
Where did these three little girls come from?
What are you here for?
Why come to the Red Forth?
Is this a pirate ship? ! Don't they want to live anymore?
However, this kind of thing is so interesting!
Shanks, who had dead eyes and a puzzled look on his face, sat in front of the three of them and glanced at the crew members who were eating melons around him.
Their eyes flashed with excitement: Come on, boss, come on! Don't be cowardly, isn't it just three years to life? The Impelka Undersea Prison is actually made of paper! This wave of blood profit! Make money with blood, boss!
…
Trouble~
After the scene was silent for a while, Shanks scratched his head and decided to bite the bullet.
However, Shanks was used to talking to a group of rough guys all year round. He retrieved the memories in his mind and sadly discovered... He seemed to have no memory of talking to little girls. Even the memories of talking to women were mostly taken by Xia Xia. Sister Qi is teasing...
"Well, my name is Shanks. I'm a pirate, not a bad person."
Mina nodded "He said his name was Shanks."
Yuyuko nodded, "He said he was a pirate."
Ke Na twisted her lips, "He also said he was not a bad person."
"Are there any pirates who are not bad guys?" Mina looked up at Shanks
Kona gave Shanks a hard look, "There are no pirates who are not bad guys. Every hair on a pirate's head is foul-smelling."
"Then he is a bad guy." Mina nodded and said seriously, "Mina doesn't talk to bad people."
"Hey, hey, hey, I just said one thing~" Shanks tried to defend himself by waving his hands wildly.
"Haha, are you just saying that you are ready to make us surrender with all your hands? A perverted lolita control pirate!"
Shanks:...Why the hell did I become a perverted lolita pirate...
Seeing the aggrieved expression on Shanks's face, a group of people led by Laki who didn't take it too seriously suddenly burst into laughter with their lips drawn.
"Hahaha, perverted lolita control Shanks, Whitebeard will definitely laugh to death if he finds out."
"Is there any mistake? Captain, you are a lolicon! No wonder you have never found a woman!"
Even the unsmiling Mihawk patted Shanks on the shoulder with regret, "Hey, I didn't expect you to be such a person. But don't be discouraged, even if you are a lolicon, you are still my recognized opponent."
…
Shanks had a black line on his head after being patted on the forehead.
How could I find such a group of crew members who harm me every day...
"Forget it..." Shanks sighed and put on a slightly serious expression, "Tell me why the three of you came to my ship. A pirate ship is not a place to play house. "
Kona snorted coldly, "Who the hell wants to get on your ship? I was just brought aboard by force."
Mina said weakly, "I, I came with Yuyuko."
Then the two of them looked at Youyuko in unison.
"Oh?~ So you came here on your own initiative~" Shanks couldn't help but become interested, and looked at Yuyuko with a hint of curiosity, "Won't you tell me the reason?"
Yuyouzi smiled slightly, "Of course there is no problem. But before that, can you loosen the rope around me first?"
"It's a small matter." Shanks gave his deputy captain Beckman a look.
"Hey, hey~ The captain who likes to boss people around."
With a wave of the knife, not only Yuyuko was let go, but Mina and Kona were also let go.
"Have you said it now?" Shanks yawned.
Yuyuko shook her head, "No, I need to confirm one thing before that. Are you a member of Gol D. Roger's crew?"
"Of course." Shanks replied calmly, "For this reason, I was chased by Uncle Garp for a long time."
Although Youyouzi already knew the answer, she still asked it in order to pretend.
Because when Yuyuko decided to board Shanks' pirate ship, she had already considered the most likely follow-up actions of Shanks after being discovered.
But after thinking about it, Yuyuko discovered that if we judge based on Shanks' character in the comics, unless she lies, Shanks' most likely action is to go back the way she came and throw her back to the Lilac. After all, judging from the fact that the world government had to give him some face later, it was impossible for Shanks not to be able to determine the true owner of Lilac and Happy Street.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to rest assured that someone who had escaped from an organization under the World Government came to his ship. Returning it to the original route is basically a certainty.
But in the end, Yuyuko thought of the only way to gain some of Shanks' trust in the first place.
"In that case..." Youyouzi took off the sea-story stone pendant from her neck, "You should have some impression of the emblem on the back of this pendant."
"What is this?" Shanks took the pendant in confusion and observed the back of the pendant according to Yuyuko's words.
Then Shanks narrowed his eyes and said, "This pattern... seems to have been seen there before."
Yuyuko smiled slightly, as things had progressed to this point, the plan to stay on Shanks' ship was basically no longer a problem. but……
"That's an incomplete family crest." Yuyuko said as she turned her back and slowly pulled off the clothes on her left shoulder, revealing the Kozuki family's emblem tattooed on the left back shoulder by her parents.
"And this one is complete."
…………
On the Lilac, a woman wearing a body-shaping dance skirt walked slowly to the door of the captain's cabin on high heels.
"Doris, what do you want from me?" Jones was writing a report about the information she felt it was necessary to report to her superiors after the red-haired pirates arrived on the Lilac yesterday.
Normally, Jones does not need to write a special report to report information.
But the Red Hair Pirates are different. Its captain is the crew of the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and although most of the crew members on his current ship can only be said to be strong enough to barely show up in the new world, these The potential shown by the crew is huge. Even the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp was able to escape when he went after him. This kind of pirate is undoubtedly very eye-catching in the eyes of the World Government, so the level of attention is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary pirates.
And this time Mihawk, the rookie swordsman who had been in the limelight some time ago, actually appeared on his ship. She had to report this information to her superiors.
"Captain, are you writing a report on red hair?" Doris took a look and asked.
Jones nodded. "Tell me what's wrong."
Doris and Jones are both CP members on the Lilac. Jones is mainly responsible for navigation and handing over intelligence to superiors, while Doris is mainly responsible for the management of CP members on the ship and the supervision of new intelligence service personnel. observe.
Of course, there are not as many intelligence officers on a flower boat as imagined. After all, it is impossible for everyone on a ship to be an intelligence officer. If this were spread out to every flower boat and land venue under Happy Street, It is not impossible for CP to eat up more than half of the gold in the sky every year.
Most intelligence personnel are basically responsible personnel like Doris who are responsible for digging and training. They don't even know that their superior unit is called cp. Strictly speaking, Doris is a manager of peripheral members.
"There are three little girls who haven't started serving yet and they can't be found today."
"This kind of thing..." Jones stopped writing and thought for a moment. Most of the existing people on Lilac who are not participating in the service are children, and there are only a few children. "Is it Mina and Yuyuko?"
"You guessed it right." Doris smiled slightly, "What's wrong, did you think of something?"
"No, it's just that the two of them have always left a deep impression on me. After all, one is so innocent and the other is so weak." He frowned slightly, "What's wrong, have you found the reason? Could it be those hands and feet on the ship?" Dirty guest?"
Doris shook her head and said cautiously, "I don't think so. There were some clothes missing in their room. They should have left on their own initiative. And the way they left..."
"Is it Red Voss... Only their ship has left at this time." Jones sighed.
She still has a good impression of these two children. Especially Mina, that rare innocence made her, a CP who had done a lot of bad things, feel healed.
"Who is the other person?"
"Corna Carotti."
“…that all-around kitchen girl?”
"Um."
"Okay, I understand." Jones nodded, "Is there anything else?"
"No more for now, but I have a question." Doris leaned close to Jones and glanced at the ocean outside. "Will you write this content into the report?"
Jones paused, thought for a moment and then said, "No. Shanks will either send them back or throw them off the ship at the next stop. It is impossible for him to allow people with World Government background to stay on his ship. Even if Three non-threatening kids.”
"Yeah……"
The sound of Doris's high heels tapping on the wood gradually faded away. Jones put down the pen in her hand.
Simply packaged and placed in a sealed box. Send it out later with some special seagulls.
She was actually not surprised that Yuyuko and Mina left. In fact, last night she accidentally discovered two little girls sneaking away. But she didn't stop him. Instead, she sat quietly in the captain's cabin and continued working.
In Jones' opinion, the Lilac ship was still too dirty, and this was not a place where these two children should stay.
And when the two of them left, she also knew that the pirate ship opposite might not be much better than the Lilac.
But... so what.
The sun is warm to everyone. But for someone like her in the darkness, the warmth was filled with a burning sting.
This was beyond her wildest dreams.
If you don’t get it, then let it go, even if it makes you disappear...
