[One Piece] To be

It must be time to leave the island but there is nowhere else to go.

Lamy looked at the reflection in the water, and suddenly had a strange illusion, wanting to jump from here.Sink into the sea and end this miserable life.

The girl felt a little dazed, she just stared at her own reflection on the water in a daze, until the originally calm sea shook, and then the reflection shattered, and suddenly a black mass popped out of the sea, scaring her almost to the ground. land.

The black thing was desperately beating the water, and Lamy realized that it was a ragged boy, with messy black hair soaked and sticking to his face, paddling with one hand and dragging another ragged boy with the other.At first glance, it looks like a large group of dirty seaweed has surfaced.

The boy didn't seem to be very good at swimming, and he was still tugging at his companion while he was thumping. When he raised his head, he saw the stunned Lamy. Their eyes met for a moment, and then they hurriedly lowered their heads and swam to the shore.

He has beautiful brown eyes.

Lamy forgot the negative emotions just now, and just watched the boy climbed onto the pier. His companion seemed to be drowning. The boy pressed his stomach indiscriminately, opened his mouth and forcibly inflated him. He didn't know how to do artificial respiration at all. .

A strange force drove Lamy to walk over, and the boy raised his head to look at her with hostility in his eyes.Lamy ignored him, and stretched out his hand to put on the drowning man's abdomen. The ability was activated, and the blood began to flow faster. The blood vessels visible to the naked eye bulged under the skin, which was a bit hideous.For a moment, the drowning child's muscles twitched, and he spit out a mouthful of water and gasped roughly.

"Okay." Lamy also heaved a sigh of relief, and the boy eased his expression, nodded vigorously at her like a chicken pecking at rice, and didn't know how to say thank you.

The sound of whipping was heard from a distance from the pier, and the vicious and strong overseer came towards him, gnashing his teeth with a whip in his hand.

The young man panicked, stepped forward and gave Lamy a hard push, seeing that she didn't understand, he continued to push her away angrily, meaning to tell her to leave quickly.

"Crack!" The whip came down head-on, and the young man subconsciously curled up to protect his drowning companion. The tattered clothes couldn't cover his thin back, revealing new and old whip wounds.The strong man continued to whip him mercilessly, cursing while whipping, "Slave bastard still dares to run away! See if I don't beat you to death!"

The young man remained silent, just enduring the beating in silence.

Lamy stood not far away watching him.I don't know how long the whipping lasted, but the brawny man finally got tired, threw away his whip out of breath, and turned his head to yell at the other slaves who were carrying goods on the pier.The young man was lying on his companion's body covered with scars, and it took a long time before he managed to get up. His black hair hung down to cover his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression at the moment.The companion child he had been protecting all this time woke up at this moment, as if he didn't know anything, he tugged on the boy's sleeve with his small hand, "Hungry, hungry."

The boy frantically rummaged through his body for a long time, only to find a piece of bread soaked in water.The child leaned up to take a look, stood up in disgust, and ran towards the pier.The scarred teenager sat there staring at the bread in a daze, and finally stuffed it into his mouth and chewed hard.

It turns out that there are people more unfortunate than her in this world.Lamy wanted to smile inexplicably.

The boy sat there for a long time before he stood up staggeringly, the whip wound on his back was still bleeding.A few slaves carrying heavy loads staggered over in a row, and the overseer brandished his whip and shouted loudly.The young man hurriedly limped to keep up with the team. As soon as the heavy box fell on his body, the young man fell to the ground and couldn't help making a hoarse cry, probably because he just hit the wound.

"Get up! Don't dawdle!" The supervisor whipped the whip again. The young man gritted his teeth and stood up forcefully. His thin body seemed to hide unimaginable strength.

"Hurry up!" the supervisor continued to yell.

"Crash!" A slave in front of the line fell down, and the cargo box fell to the ground and broke, and one by one the tightly wrapped guns fell out of it.

The supervisor was dumbfounded. With such a commotion, the people around had already seen the contents of the box!

Take the munitions!It's against the law!People gathered around to catch the shouting supervisor, and some even started to steal guns in the chaos, some were trying to stop some from booing, and the scene was chaotic.Lamy didn't care about this, she saw the black-haired boy standing there with a box on his back.

Not far away, a team of navy ran over!

The slaves dispersed, and Lamy grabbed the young man who was still in a daze, "What are you looking at! Run!"

The teenager was forced to drop the box, and the girl fled the scene by the wrist.Lamy got into the dark alley almost familiarly, scrambling left and right on the maze-like path, and finally found the abandoned hut where he had been hiding before, and burrowed in.

"Hoo, hoo..." He finally managed to catch his breath, but no one was chasing him outside.Rami breathed a sigh of relief.

The boy looked around the room curiously.

"Don't look, this is not my house, the house leaks, no furniture, no food, hide here for a while."

The boy turned his head, looked straight at Lamy, and opened his mouth, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Eh? So you're not dumb." Lamy seemed to be very interested in this stupid guy. Having seen so many old and cunning liars, this dirty fool is simply cute.Simply pull him to sit on the ground, "My name is Trafalgaramy. What's your name?"

"Lee... Liszt, Liszt." He stammered a bit.

"Liszt? Then what's your last name?"

"...slaves don't have surnames." Finally, he said a complete sentence.

There was an awkward silence. Liszt sat there dishonestly, looking around as if he was curious about it, until he accidentally touched the wound on his back and neck when he turned his head, and gasped for air in pain.

Lamy was amused by him, thinking that this is really a big idiot that fell from the sky and was picked up by her.Standing up and walking over, he poked his wound with his finger.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Liszt yelled as he hugged his head, his brown eyes had a wet light like a puppy.It's so cute - Rami decided not to bully him anymore, took a deep breath and used his ability to start helping him heal the whip wound on his back.

Liszt sat obediently on the spot, feeling the itching of the wound healing from the skin.

"Don't move, you have to wait a little longer, wounds heal very slowly." Lamy couldn't remember how long it had been since he had communicated with others in such a relaxed manner.

"Thank you, thank you." Liszt nodded confusedly.

"Are...are you a little silly?" Lamy couldn't help it.

Liszt shook his head desperately, and the overly long black hair flicked back and forth. Lamy immediately remembered the puppy shaking its fur after a bath, and almost laughed out loud.

"Hey, tie it up, okay?"

nod.

Lamy untied the rope that tied his hair, straightened out Liszt's messy black hair, and tied a short braid behind his head. The boy's handsome face was well exposed, and his innocent brown eyes looked at Lamy .

"Hahahahahaha..." I couldn't bear it anymore.

"...What's wrong?" Inexplicable.

"I feel so stupid hahahahahaha..."

"..."

"Forget it, I won't tease you." Lamy laughed enough, and resumed his serious expression, "Hey, let's go together, I want a companion."

"Companion," Liszt nodded, "I don't know, where should I go... I don't want to be a slave, and I will be beaten if I don't have enough to eat."

For the first time the guy articulated what he meant.

"Hey, you're not afraid that I'm a human trafficker?" Lamy felt that it was too smooth and illogical.

Liszt shook his head and looked straight at Lamy, "I like you very much, you can cure diseases, you are a good person."

Alright, thinking too much... Does he really have a problem with his head?

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden banging on the door.

"That's right, it's here! That little slave won't be able to escape far! This is the only room left that hasn't been searched!"

Lamy's nerves tensed instantly - damn it!Those guys actually came after them!Just ran away as a slave.

There was no other way, Lamy looked around, there was no place to hide in this dilapidated house.

"Clatter——" the crumbling window at the back of the house was broken, and Lamy was so frightened that he thought the enemy had come in from behind, and subconsciously reached out for a knife—no, it was Liszt who ran to the back and smashed the window with a chair.

"Hey, you are amazing... let's run!" Lamy admired sincerely.

Liszt shook his head, instead of jumping out of the window to escape, he grabbed Lamy and ran to the gate. The sound of banging on the door stopped when the glass shattered, and the chasing soldiers shouted outside, "Did you hear that! That kid seems to have jumped out of the window Run away! Let's go around and chase from behind!"

The sound of chaotic footsteps became farther and farther away.Quiet was restored around the house.

Rami felt the need to re-examine the kid.He is not stupid at all, and he knows how to divert the tiger away from the mountain.Could it be... a liar again?The girl suddenly became nervous, and quietly stretched her hand towards the knife at her waist...

However, Liszt didn't seem to notice Lamy's emotional changes, and said to himself, "I used this trick to run away before. They are fools and always fall for the trick."

"...You are an idiot yourself. You can't speak well." Lamy's hand holding the handle of the knife slowly loosened.

"I'm not, idiot. No one taught me to speak. A slave, I don't need to speak." Liszt seemed to have difficulty organizing his words. "Lister is smart, they are, idiots."

"Haha, why didn't you escape earlier?"

"...my, partners, are disabled, children, sick, can't run fast
