A Pirate's Counting Life

Xiao Hachi cut the octopus into pieces in the sea, discarded the inedible internal organs, and threw the octopus onto the deck.

He took out the tools from the cabin, tied a scarf with the word "Wu" written on it, and looked at Xiaoba's skillful movements of pinching the balls while busy with a serious look on his face.

Kerla twitched the corner of her mouth. She always felt that this scene was a bit scary. Octopus eating octopus balls?

"Kerra, come and try it!"

Xiao Ba waved his six arms to disperse the murlocs that were approaching. Kerla felt a little scared when she saw the murlocs in front of her, but thinking of Xiao Ba's simple smile, Kerla gritted her teeth and stretched out her finger to poke it gently. The fat-headed fishman in front whispered:

"I'm sorry...can you give me a moment..."

The fat-headed fishman was slightly startled. The surroundings were too noisy and Kerra's voice was too quiet.He didn't hear clearly what the other party said, but he looked at the weak, helpless and pitiful expression on Kerla's face.

The fat-headed fishman gently put her on his shoulder, and his fat body slowly squeezed in front of Xiaoba. Kerla reached out and took the octopus balls handed over by Xiaoba.

"Hmm...it's so delicious!" Kerra's eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly. The fishmen around her couldn't bear it anymore and began to snatch the octopus balls.

An hour later, Kerla was lying on the deck, stroking her round belly, and kept smacking her lips. The octopus balls made by Xiaoba successfully conquered everyone's taste buds.

As time went by, the fishmen except Aaron gradually fell in love with this lively and cheerful little guy. Three weeks later, the pirate ship docked in the south of Forchart Island.

Kerla stood on the boat and looked at the familiar cactus in the distance. She tightened her backpack, which contained the gift given to her by the fish people.A cheerful smile appeared on Kerla's face, and her mother's appearance appeared in her mind.

"Kerla, we got off the boat, your hometown has arrived." Tiger stood on the boat ladder and said in a low voice, "Where is your village? I will take you to the entrance of the village."

"Yes!" Kerla nodded vigorously and ran towards Tiger quickly. At this moment, the three Marcoluos wiped their tears and said in choked voices, "Don't go! Kerla... come with us on the trip!"

Looking at the three people crying, Croobie shouted with some dissatisfaction, "Stop crying! You three!"

"I will tell the people in the village that there are many good people among the fishmen! Thank you everyone! Goodbye!"

Kerla stood on the shore and kept waving his hands to say goodbye to everyone on the boat. Seeing the reluctance on the faces of the fishmen, Tiger felt warm in his heart. Through Kerla, he confirmed that the fishmen can live in peace with humans. .

"Take care!"

"Don't forget us!"

"You have to take care of yourself!"

Aaron leaned against the wall with an indifferent expression, listening to the reluctant words of the fishmen, with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Tiger led Kerla towards the direction of the village. Looking at Tiger's swinging hands, Kerla trotted to the other party's side and gently held Tiger's right hand with both hands.

Tiger looked down at Kerla with a smile on his face, frowned and subconsciously pushed him away. Kerla looked down at Tiger who was gradually walking away. After hesitating for a second, he caught up with him again and held Kuan Dao firmly with both hands. palm.

Tiger shook his arm gently, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he let the other person hold him. Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, the violence in Tiger's heart was firmly suppressed by his kind thoughts.

The two knew that this might be the last time they saw each other. Although they were reluctant to leave this group of new fish-men friends, Kerla couldn't hold back her words of pleading when thinking of her mother's face.

"When that kid grows up, he will be like other humans!" Aaron looked around and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Marcoro pointed at Aaron and roared angrily, "Get out of here! What are you talking about!"

Jinbei raised his hand to stop Marcoro's movements, and said with a serious face, "Aaron, you kid..."

"Brother Jinbei! You have really changed a lot in the past three years!" Aaron interrupted Jinbei, looked at him with an indifferent expression, waved his left hand in the air, and said calmly

"Just think about it, she is the only one in the village who keeps saying that the fishmen are good people. What's the point? Just like Otohime, it's just a waste of words!"

Jinbei narrowed his eyes and felt that Aaron's thoughts were too dangerous. If they hated humans blindly, they fish-men would never be respected. This world was still dominated by humans. Regardless of the population or the number of strong men, the fish-men would never be respected. Far inferior to the other party

If Aaron really incited the fishmen to attack humans, they would eventually become history. Jinbe decided to wait for Tiger to come back and discuss with him how to change Aaron's mentality.

"Your daughter is back! Right at the entrance of the village!" A man ran to Kerla's mother and shouted loudly. The woman was stunned for a moment and then a light burst out from her eyes.

"Kurla...Kerla!"

The woman's face was full of tears and she rushed towards Kerla screaming. Tiger saw this and pushed Kerla's back to signal her to come forward.

"Mom...Mom! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Mother!"

Kella cried and ran into the woman's arms. Seeing the disgusted and fearful expressions of the villagers in the distance, the smile on Tiger's face gradually stiffened. He shook his head and stood up, preparing to return the way he came.

"You must have experienced heartache and pain when you were captured as a slave. My poor daughter, those murlocs didn't hurt you, right..." The woman stroked Kerla's head with compassion, tears flowing down like a bursting dam.

"No, mom, the ship is not all bad people like the Draco. I used to think that the fishmen were all terrible bad people, but after getting along with them for a while, I found that there are still many good people among them!"

At the mention of the fish-man Kerla, a smile immediately appeared on her face. The woman gently rubbed her daughter's head and whispered, "You are still young..."

"No! If you get along with them for a while, you will definitely understand!"

Seeing her daughter's determined look, the woman felt a ripple in her heart. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words when she thought of the agreement with the navy.

"Uncle! Uncle Tiger! Thank you for keeping your promise! I will never forget everyone in the Sun Pirates in my life! Thank you very much!"

Listening to the girl's shouts, Tiger slowly stopped and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The previous depressed mood disappeared. He turned sideways and waved to Kerla with a smile.

Tiger walked on the path with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the kind thoughts in his heart completely defeated the violent emotions, and Tiger felt that his whole person felt much more relaxed.

"Kerra, I believe that when you grow up, you will be able to become a bridge of peaceful coexistence between humans and fish-men!"

Tiger murmured in a low voice, and suddenly hundreds of marines rushed out of the surroundings, with black guns aimed at him. Stoberg slowly walked out of the crowd and said with a cold voice.

"We learned from a certain island that you are coming here. People in the village you just went to know that there will be some riots here and understand it, on condition that we let the girl go."

Tiger's pupils shrank, and endless anger emerged in his heart. This feeling of betrayal made him uncomfortable.
