Pirate's Freedom

Under the warm sunshine, on the soft grass.

Kerla held her hands behind her back, taking one step after another, sometimes moving forward, sometimes retreating, and bouncing briskly.

She turned around and walked backwards, her clear eyes staring at the three girls holding their little hands tightly together.

The three of them walked in unison, trying not to look sideways, and taking small steps forward with their heads held high. However, every time the colorful bubbles slowly passed in front of their eyes, their pupils still swayed slightly.

"It's very beautiful~"

Kella suddenly spoke.

"Would you like to touch it?"

"No."

Hancock held the hands of his two sisters tightly.

"There is nothing beautiful about something that breaks when you poke it."

She was suddenly saved, but her current feeling was still unreal. Even her joy was difficult to understand, only a little bit incomprehensible but very clear.

Facing the little girl in front of him, Hancock was slightly depressed.

"So--"

Kella tilted her head.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Go home...where?"

He had dreamed of returning to his hometown many times, but at this moment, some inexplicable emotion was aroused, and Hancock suddenly became breathless.

"Am I still qualified to become a sea warrior now..."

"Sister-sama..." x2

Sonia and Mary returned their hands and held Hancock tightly, tears filling their big eyes.

The long ears moved, Tata Tot jumped forward with all his strength, and flicked his tail in the air——

Boom~boom~boom~ta~!

"Ah~"

"Yeah~"

"Wow~"

Hancock, Sonia, and Mary followed in that order. The three girls' heads sank, and after stumbling slightly, Tata Tot, who had completed the triple jump, sat on Kella's head.

"Kirla, let's go to the amusement park again."

The incredible doll appeared in front of them, Sonia and Mary were immediately attracted to their attention, and even Hancock's emotions were somewhat dispersed.

"Erwin~ I'm going to ride the Ferris wheel this time~"

Shaking her head from side to side, Kerla raised the Tata Tot high.

"No problem at all."

Maintaining the classic look of The Lion King, Tata Toto has serious eyes.

"but--"

He took a look at the clothes on the three girls. The original color of the standard Amazon female warrior attire was almost gone.

"Before that, let's go shopping for clothes."

Tata Tot tilted his head slightly to one side, and the three sisters couldn't help but look in the direction of his gaze.

"Just follow me, Boss Erwin."

After moving the bangs on his forehead and shaking his head vigorously, Sebastian stretched out his thumb, showing his white teeth and said with a bright smile.

“I have a great store to recommend!”

……

Area 66 of the Shampoo Islands, a naval base.

There is a medium-sized desk and a blue chair with a backrest, and a few documents are nailed to the display column hanging on the wall. Other than that, there are only tall filing cabinets that almost reach the ceiling and metal hangers on the side. The wide base The long office is a bit empty.

His light brown hair is cut short, his dark brown eyebrows and mustache are very thick. Sitting behind his desk, Lieutenant General Jonathan is dressed in white, with only a black belt two hands wide tied around his waist. He is reading carefully in his hands. A thin two-page document.

After a while, Lieutenant General Jonathan put down the documents and leaned forward slightly, picked up the wooden photo frame propped on the table, leaned back, and gently rubbed the photo behind the glass with his fingers.

——The beautiful chef standing in front of the stove is preparing a pot of seafood soup. She puts the spoon to her lips to taste it, and tucks the blond hair that falls on her face behind her ears. The photo is just as she looks up. moment.

"Puru poru~poru poru~"

The phone on the table rang. Lieutenant General Jonathan put the photo frame back in his hand and connected the phone with a 'porphyrin' sound.

"..."

Listening to the voice coming from the other side of the phone, Lieutenant General Jonathan slowly frowned.

"Click!"

A moment after hanging up the phone, the base colonel walked in wearing a blue old-fashioned suit, a circle of lace around the collar of his shirt, and a navy coat.

"What happened? Lieutenant General Jonathan."

"See for yourself."

Lieutenant General Jonathan handed over the document printed by the fax phone bug.

"The Tianlong people lost contact at the human trafficking... employment agency?!"

The shocked naval captain couldn't help but raise his voice.

"How could such a thing happen! Who dares to do such a thing? Don't they know what the consequences will be if something happens to the Tianlong people?!"

"The specific location is based on positioning. It is currently in GR No. 1. Depending on the development of the situation, it may evolve into a situation where the general takes action."

Standing up and taking off the cloak of justice from the hanger, Lieutenant General Jonathan said in a calm voice.

"Order the troops to assemble immediately."

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Please come in."

Lieutenant General Jonathan responded without stopping.

"Report! Lieutenant General Jonathan."

The navy soldier entering the office saluted.

"In the Shampoo Square, someone is using a video phone bug to conduct a live broadcast."

"According to the regulations, first contact the World Government to confirm that there are no reports and permissions, and then send a team of soldiers to stop it."

Facing the mirror on the cabinet door, Lieutenant General Jonathan, who was wearing a cloak of justice, adjusted his collar.

"By the way, what is the content of the live broadcast? If it is illegal content, there is no need to contact the World Government, it can be banned directly."

"..."

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

The naval colonel was immersed in shock, and Lieutenant General Jonathan turned around and asked directly.

"Lieutenant General Jonathan, it's hard to say..."

The naval soldier spoke hesitantly.

"The live broadcast is...the ongoing human auction, which should be in GR No. 1..."

……

The vast open space between areas 29 and 30 of the Chambord Islands, Chambord Plaza.

"Is the atmosphere getting exciting? Human Auction~! What I highly recommend next is a new gameplay that everyone has never seen before!!!"

The image was projected on a huge screen. The auction house lights in the picture flickered and the light was blurred. More and more people gathered here.

"What is this? A promotional event?"

In the dark crowd, there were voices everywhere.

"Is it necessary to publicize human auctions?"

This is someone who is baffled by this.

"I always feel a little..."

There was a rather sentimental woman who couldn't bear the slave.

"This is no longer an illegal zone. Human traffickers can be so upright... Doesn't the Navy just care about it?"

Others are worried about the future of the Chambord Islands.

"Hahaha! Take a good look! This is rare!"

There are people everywhere who don't take it too seriously to watch the excitement.

No matter how people feel at this time, the number of people gathered here is still increasing, and the auction in the picture is also unstoppably advancing towards its climax...

"Unprecedented innovation! The mysterious product that fired the first shot! The Hand Clan! The Foot Clan! The Snake Head Clan! The Giant Clan! Even the [Mermaid] is not impossible!!"

The host's hoarse voice was heard far away.

Two streaks of chasing smoke passed quickly from a distance.

The two bubbles, which are as tall as one person, are equipped with devices similar to bicycles, but there are no wheels, instead there are propellers rotating rapidly at the rear.

"Erwin! It's very lively there!"

Kella's attention shifted involuntarily.

"Whatever! Kerra—"

Two paws shook the right pedal desperately, and Tata Tot shouted helplessly.

"Are you still pedaling?!"

"Wow~hahahaha~~"

In another [Bubble Car], there were large and small bags of clothes. Two disheveled little heads poked out from above the bubbles, bursts of laughter scattered in the wind.

"Sonia! Mary! Sit tight!!"

He suddenly turned the handlebar in his hand to the left and pinned the [Bubble Car] behind him. In the strong wind that hit his face, Hancock's big eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc.

"I'm going to speed up!!!"

"Erwin!!"

Kerra pointed forward and shouted loudly.

"Forward!! Soap Bubble Park!!"

"Handlebars! Hold on to the handlebars!!"
