[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

After Kevin conveyed Rayleigh's words, the port fell into silence for a while.Then, Sha Lai spoke.

"Yes, that's good." Xilai's voice was brisk, as if she had no worries at all, "What about you, Kevin? Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"No." Kevin turned around, looked at the smiling Shalai in front of him, and lowered his eyelids, "Even if I asked, Shalai, you wouldn't tell me the real answer. You are always like this, face You have a look of ease in everything, and you seem to be very close to us, but we actually know nothing about you."

Even when he was complaining, Kevin's voice didn't fluctuate at all; his eyes were deep without any fluctuation.If the hands beside him were not tightly clenched into fists, Shalai might really not be able to guess his emotions.

"Well, I also have my reasons." Xilai's smile remained unchanged, but a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.

Has Kevin been stimulated too much recently?Why do you always keep a straight face? It turns out that kind of sunny smile like Kate is so beautiful.Or was he trying to make himself more dignified in order to join the navy?The navy should not have such requirements for soldiers, just look at the hero Garp.Tsk, she likes Kevin's smile very much, it's a pity that she can't see it.

"However, I can tell you why I can still swim as a capable person." Sarai ignored Kevin's distrustful eyes, lowered her voice slightly, as if recalling something, and said slowly, "When I was a child , the body has been modified, so unlike ordinary ability users, I will not be completely weak immediately after contacting sea water. But I am still a failure, and it will be dangerous after a long time."

Body modification!Kevin pinched his palm tightly to keep himself from exclaiming, but there was a crack in the calm expression on his face, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Shalai now looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, that is to say, she was arrested when she was younger...

Guessing from her description, there should be some kind of dark force, in order to study the devil fruit, some children were captured for human experimentation.It's no wonder that Shalai can keep calm no matter what she faces. If she has had that kind of experience, these things can all be explained.

Thinking of what Shalai might have suffered, Kevin clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.Those scumbags, because of their selfish desires, how many families were torn apart, and how many children were forced to lose their parents.After he becomes a navy, he must arrest them all, absolutely, this kind of thing will never happen again.

Xilai, who was on the side, watched Kevin's eyes turn from pity to anger, and knew that the other party had already figured out the cause and effect of the incident by himself, and she had passed the test.

"The more you don't want to reveal your original intention, the more you have to tell the truth. Make good use of language and let the other party think along your lines. Make sure that even if the other party thinks about it after the fact, they will only find evidence that matches what you said. You are qualified."

Dazai's cold voice echoed in Sarai's mind.

Sarai had to admit that if Oda Saku gave her the hope of living, then Dazai Osamu taught her the way to live.Although the youngest cadre in the history of the port mafia, who loves to commit suicide and mess around, and disciplines her too harshly, without him, there would be no Oda Salai.

Really, is it really the distance that creates beauty?It has only been ten days since she came to this world, and she even started to miss that guy Dazai.

After laughing self-deprecatingly in her heart, Sha Lai restrained her smile, and said to Kevin lightly: "I don't want to go into details, and it's not good for you to know too much. But Kevin, now, Can you trust me a little bit?"

Looking at the faint smile on Shalai's face, Kevin felt guilty.

It was all his fault that Sha Lai recalled those painful memories.Just now, what was he saying to a person who had saved himself.In this sea, there are many people gathered for many reasons.If you have the same goal, you will go together. If you have different paths, you will set sail after drinking a lot.Xilai is just a guest of their hotel, so there is no reason to explain his background to him, he is so self-righteous.

What should I say, sorry?No, maybe Sha Lai didn't take this to heart at all, such pale words were definitely not what she wanted to hear.

When the sound of waves hitting the pier came again, Kevin spoke, but what he said was irrelevant to the previous conversation.

"My mother's ashes were scattered here by Miss Kate."

"At that time, this place hadn't been abandoned yet, and many pirate ships docked here. It's not like Miss Kate's style to agree to choose this place to scatter the ashes."

"But we all know that the port where my father sailed is the place where my mother wants to stay most. So the two of us sneaked here one night, and ran away after scattering the ashes, without daring to cry."

"After the government strengthened its military strength and the law and order on the island improved. Sister Kate would come here for a walk every morning, while I like to come here at night."

"Because of this, it reminds me of my cowardly self who didn't even dare to cry and pay homage to her when she scattered my mother's ashes."

"At that time, I swore that I must become strong enough to protect my important family members. Then I would bring my father back, let him see the sea where his mother rests, and kneel down to repent!"

Seeing Kevin uttered his determination to the sea firmly and forcefully as if swearing, Shalai bent down and immersed his hands in the cold sea water, looking at his own body which was slightly deformed by the reflection of the water. hand, her eyes softened, "So, Kevin, your mother is still my savior. Without her, Kate wouldn't come here for a walk, wouldn't find me, and pick me up. Well, I have to thank her very much."

Shalai held a handful of sea water in both hands and straightened up, kissed the water surface lightly, then opened her fingers, watching the sea water reflecting the afterimage of the moon slip away from her fingers, splashing on the sea surface,

"I know, what she can't let go of now is her little son, so Kevin, come with me."

Before Kevin could spit out the words like a magic stick from Xilai, his arm was grabbed by Xilai, and he was forced to follow her away from the coast and walk into the woods.

When Kevin took his arm back and regained his freedom, he happened to see the single-digit number on the passing tree. Kevin felt that something was wrong, poked Shalai who was walking in front, and asked in a low voice: " Hey, Xilai, what are you doing, why did you come to the lawless area?"

Shalai turned her head and made a silent gesture to Kevin, which made Kevin look around vigilantly, thinking that there were some enemies nearby.

"Don't worry, just follow me. Our destination is not far away, just walk there normally."

Sha Lai generously exposed the whereabouts of herself and Kevin, and most of the desperadoes around were unwilling to spend money on them after seeing that they had neither been offered a reward nor looked like they were carrying anything valuable. Too much time, just ignored this strange combination.The rest of the fish that slipped through the net did not need to be shot, and Kevin solved them all by himself.

But before Kevin found any joy in beating these scum, he was frozen in place by the building Sha Lai pointed out to him, and the lightness that had just appeared on his face disappeared, replaced by Disgust mixed with fear.

"This population auction is what I want to show you. After leaving Kevin, let's go and see before their night show is over."

Without waiting for Kevin to protest, Shalai grabbed his arm again and pulled him into the venue with a force he couldn't resist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the products I'm going to introduce next may be familiar to everyone here."

The light shone on the fancy-dressed auctioneer on the stage. He said the introduction in a flamboyant tone, and stretched his hand to the edge of the booth.Following his movements, many bidders in the audience looked at the entrance on the right side of the booth with expectant eyes.These well-dressed people whispered something to the people around them from time to time, as if they were in a charity auction, and their every move carried the unique reservedness of upper-class people.

Looking at all this in the hall, Kevin thought of the dazzling "HUMAN" sign on the door, and turned his eyes away, not wanting to see this ironic scene again,

"Look carefully, Kevin." Sarai said softly to Kevin who turned his head beside her, "Among the people you will protect in the future, there will be many people like these bidders. They didn't break the law, Using their wealth and power to enjoy a superior life. Even if the next auction is ordinary civilians, they have done nothing wrong, at least, under the laws made by the world government."

"I know that you can be merciless even in the face of pirates who have something to do with you. But if you have to defend something completely different from your beliefs, such as the current situation, can you also be indifferent? "

Now this?Kevin followed Shalai's gesture suspiciously and looked at the booth.

After seeing the blond woman who was chained and dragged to the spotlight, Kevin forgot to breathe for a moment.He felt his heart stop beating; his hands and feet became cold and he lost consciousness; his brain was buzzing, as if he was refusing to accept what was happening now.

"This woman is Kate, a famous bartender in the Chambord Islands. By the way, she can also make wine. It can be said that she can't trouble her with anything related to wine..."

The auctioneer on the stage was still talking, but Kevin couldn't hear him anymore.He was tugging on Sarai's collar and yelling at her, "Why! Why is Miss Kate there! Do you know something, or are you involved in it at all? Answer me, Oda Sarai!"
