Pirates: I am a daddy's girl in the White Group
Chapter 62 Leah
The girl covered her thin neck, and there was no longer any painful chain on it.
I raised my head hard, trying to see Dawei's face clearly, but it was already late at night and there was no light in the dim alley.
A cloak fell from Dawi's hand and covered the girl.
Dawei lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall. "What's your name and how old are you?"
"I don't have a name. My brother calls me Leah." The girl named Leah stood up tremblingly and put on her cloak. "I am 14 years old this year, sir."
Dawei frowned. She was fourteen years old, but she was so thin that she looked only twelve or thirteen years old. It seemed that she was suffering from long-term malnutrition. Now she was estimated to be less than 1.5 meters tall. Judging from her weak appearance, she didn't know how many days she had been hungry.
I only have one younger brother to depend on.
"Come on, I'll take you home. Isn't it at tree number 28?" Dawi straightened up and looked at the girl who had completely covered her thin body in the cloak.
The cloak was bought according to Devi's height. It looked a bit weird on Leah. The long hem was completely on the ground. The girl in front of her was pulling the corner of the cloak awkwardly, as if she was afraid of getting the cloak dirty.
"Lead the way." Dai Wei held the cigarette in her mouth and stepped out of the alley first.
A beautiful girl and a thinner girl, this combination is undoubtedly two walking gold among the pirates who are engaged in human trafficking today, but most pirates still have brains, and the aura exuded by Davi is not as simple as it seems.
Of course, there were also some brainless pirates who lingered their greedy eyes on Davi and Leah, but without exception, they were ruthlessly stunned by the Conqueror's Haki before they could even reach Davi.
Leah followed Devi closely, watching this scene with almost fanatical admiration in her eyes.
So powerful, just as I imagined. No, even more charming than I imagined.
"Is this your home?" Dawi glanced around and didn't expect that there would be slums in the rich Chabaothy Archipelago near Marijoa and Marinford.
There was no way. After all, the real masters of the navy were still those pigs. Dawi took a puff of her cigarette and followed Leah into the shabby little house.
What came into view was what could barely be called the center of the living room. There was a male corpse with a dagger stuck in his heart and an expression of anger and unwillingness on his face.
Dawei tilted her head: "Is this your brother?" Your brother looks much older than you.
"No." Liya's eyes flashed with strange excitement, as if she was relieved and happy: "He is the nominal father of my brother and me."
He should have died long ago. It's a waste to let him live this long...
Davy noticed the girl's strange excitement and said, "It seems that your nominal father treats you very badly."
Leah nodded silently, passed the man on the ground, and walked towards a bedroom. After a moment, Leah ran out anxiously: "Sir...Nick is missing!"
With undisguised worry and fear on her face, Davi tilted her head, and her observation Haki covered the small house, and she easily found a weak figure shivering in the box.
"There." Davey pointed, "There's a little guy hiding in that box."
Leah stumbled over in a hurry, opened the box, and saw a thin boy curled up inside.
"Nick!" Leah hugged him tightly in surprise, and choked up in a voice: "You're okay... I'm so glad you're okay!"
I thought...I thought you were also...
"Sister Li...Liya..." Nick's weak voice sounded: "You are back..."
Dawei took a puff of cigarette, leaned against the door frame, and watched the scene in silence. Smoke filled her eyes, and her dusty memories were gradually opened. The memories of her previous life in the orphanage gradually emerged. It seemed that there was such a little guy at that time, who was very clingy to the lonely her.
I sighed. If I hadn't met Ou Yaji, my fate might have been similar to that of the girl in front of me. Or I might have been even more unfortunate and died directly in the sea.
No, didn't the original 'Davi' die in the sea?
Davey put out her cigarette and coughed: "I'm going to go out and buy some things first, you guys clean up."
One had just escaped from the slave den and was covered in dirt from escaping, and the other had been starving in the box for who knows how many days.
Leah came over holding Nick and bowed deeply to Dawi: "My Lord, if it weren't for you, my brother and I might have died somewhere in the world. How can I thank you..."
"Don't call me sir, I'm Davie." Davie picked up the body from the ground and raised the corners of her lips: "It was just a spur of the moment. It's not worth it for me to sell you two. No need to thank me. Clean yourself up. I don't want to see two gray little guys when I come back later."
Liya's face froze, and she stood there awkwardly holding Nick: "Lady Devi..."
Dawei chuckled, carried the body out of the shabby hut, and her hands burned with high temperature, and the man's body turned into ashes and dissipated.
Wandering slowly on the street, Dawei was shopping here and there. Bag of food after bag went into Dawei's space. When she thought it was about time, Dawei started to walk back.
Although there is only tree No. 30 between them, there is a world of difference between Shopping Street No. 28 and No. 28. In the bustling crowd, only Davie is walking towards tree No. 31, while the rest of the crowd are mostly well-dressed and walk towards tree No. , towards the light.
Walking against the crowd, Dawi stopped when passing by a clothing store. In the window was a dark red dress with a pastoral style, a fluffy skirt and a cute little apron.
Dawei tilted her head and thought of the gray girl. Even in the shadows, she could see clearly that her hair seemed to be a bright red.
"..."
"Knock knock." After knocking on the door, Dawi returned to the shabby little house. It had already been renovated. The living room was tidy and it seemed that the best chair had been pulled out and covered with a clean piece of clothes.
"Lady Dawi, you're back." As if hearing the sound of the door opening, a little head popped out of the bedroom, and then a little kid came out.
Dawi's eyes lit up. Just as she thought, the girl in front of her had a head of warm and flamboyant red hair. At this moment, because she had just washed her hair, it was a little wet on her shoulders. Her wet eyes were like the clearest emeralds, and her sallow face was dotted with freckles.
Even though she is a little thin now, it is not difficult to tell that she is a beautiful girl with a very good foundation.
No wonder she was kidnapped, Dai Wei understood, weak beauty is simply a standard for being plundered.
As for her brother... he was also a human being, with black hair and black eyes, and a barely fair face. He had a worried and curious look in his eyes, and he tightly grasped the corner of Leah's clothes. He was also extremely thin, a little over one meter tall, and seemed to be only four or five years old.
"You and that guy don't seem to have anything to do with each other." Dawei tilted her head. The guy she was referring to was naturally a man who had turned to ashes.
If it is a biological child, this guy must have been very lucky to find a beautiful woman with whom he has no idea how beautiful she is to combine her genes and give birth to a little beauty.
Even the little boy next to him is not hard to tell to be cute, and has nothing to do with the man who looks frustrated even when looking in the mirror.
"...According to him, I was picked up by him." Liya was silent for a while before she said calmly, "He provided us with a place to stay, but in return, I need to go out and beg for him."
Turning her head to look at Nick who was a little timid, Leah's eyes showed tenderness: "I found Nick by the roots of a tree two years ago. He was soaking in the sea at that time, and I picked him up."
Dawi nodded. So that's how it is. Being forced to survive under "father" is really an insult to this word.
Sitting on the seat that Leah had carefully prepared, she took out the purchased food from the space, casually took out a piece of bread and handed it to Nick who was looking at the food eagerly, then Davey slowly said: "So your brother was drifting in the sea when he was three or four years old and you happened to pick him up. You are really lucky."
"No..." Leah's face looked a little ugly: "When I picked up Nick, he was eight years old. Now he is ten years old."
Davey raised her eyebrows and looked at Nick with a strange expression, "You call this ten years old? Even if you are malnourished, it won't be like this."
As if she had seen through Dawi's doubts, Leah was silent for a while, then suddenly pulled Nick down to his knees: "Lord Dawi... I know this may be presumptuous, please let us follow you!"
Dawei watched the scene silently, without stopping it or saying anything.
"I'm willing to do anything, Lady Dawi, as long as it's your order, no matter what it is." Leah held the hem of Dawi's skirt, with a look of begging and determination on her raised face.
"Why?" Dawei frowned and said calmly: "If it was just because I saved you, there would be no need to do this. What's more, this is just a momentary impulse for me."
"Lord Devi, you are very powerful. I hope you can protect my brother..." Tears began to well up in Leah's eyes. She reached out with trembling hands to lift up Nick's shirt. A conspicuous burn scar appeared on Nick's back.
Dawi narrowed her eyes. Is this... the hoof of a celestial dragon?
"Nick escaped from the hands of the Celestial Dragons." Leah hugged Nick, a tear rolling down her cheek: "Lady Devi, Nick is not a useless person. He is a devil fruit user. He ate the stop fruit when he was six years old, so he will never grow up."
Leah didn't say much, but Davi understood what she meant. When she was six years old, she was fed a devil fruit by a perverted celestial dragon that satisfied his interests. After suffering two years of torture at the hands of the celestial dragon, she escaped.
The Stop Fruit, just by listening to the name you can tell that this is a fruit with multiple bugs. With such ability, even the slaves of the Celestial Dragons would be angry if someone escaped from their hands.
However, if the fruits are not produced, the future will be unpredictable if they are developed well.
"Have you thought it through? I am an unforgivable pirate." Dawi held her chin up with a smile on her face. "You were kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave. Even your so-called father may have died at the hands of pirates."
"No way!" Leah said excitedly. After taking a few deep breaths, she replied, "I was not abducted by pirates. I was captured by that man... and sold to a slave trader."
"As for who killed him, it doesn't matter. The source of my suffering is not because of pirates." Liya said: "Lady Devi, you said you are a pirate, so you should be [White Hair] Devi."
Davi's aura began to become dangerous: "A person struggling in the slums would actually pay attention to the pirates on the sea." Even though Davi's name is well-known on the sea, the fact that a powerless poor man can recognize Davi in disguise is worthy of attention.
"No, no, no, that's not the case." Leah waved her hands hastily: "Before this, I didn't know what you looked like. How could I afford to buy a newspaper?"
"To be honest, four years ago..." Leah's voice gradually became low: "I was almost robbed by a navy when I was begging and sold to the owner of the slave trade association."
"But just then, another marine came over to inform him. I still remember what he said at the time: [An order has been received from above. The white-haired Davi of the Whitebeard Pirates has appeared in Tree No. 13. All marines are now gathering to go to the base.]"
"The navy stopped angrily after hearing this and left the spot cursing. So, Lord Devi, you saved me once." Liya's eyes became more pious: "Navy, pirates or nothing else are not important, Lord Devi, you are the only one who can protect me and Nick."
"..." Dai Wei half-closed her eyes under the white silk. Four years ago...it seemed like it was when she came to the Sabaody Archipelago to find Rayleigh. If that was the case, then it did make sense.
"One last question. If your answer satisfies me, I will agree to it." Devi's hand touched Leah's face.
"If you were asked to be a nurse, would you be willing to wear lace?"
"Ah?" Liya's face was confused for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself: "As long as it is Master Dawi's order, I am willing to do anything."
"Very good, go pack up, we'll leave here tomorrow." Dai Wei nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, very smart.
"Okay! Lady Devi!" Leah immediately stood up excitedly, but then her stomach growled and her face turned red.
"Call me Captain Devi from now on. Since you are mine, you are also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates." Devi waved her hand: "Come and have dinner."
"Okay, Lady Dawi." Leah nodded, but did not change her words. She took Nick's hand and sat down at the dining table, but her pious eyes still lingered on Dawi.
Unlike Nick who ate voraciously, Leah, even though she was equally hungry, just held a bowl of food and ate slowly.
If Devi had been more careful when using her Observation Haki to look for Nick, she would have found a photo album under Leah's pillow.
It was filled with photos of Dawi, from when she was seven years old to the present.
Cut out from newspapers, torn from wanted posters, each one was obviously carefully maintained.
How could I not recognize you? You saved me again, Lord Devi.
The corners of Leah's mouth, which were buried in the bowl, gradually rose.
