[One Piece] Walk side by side

"...Say it, I'll help you save your friend."

"Someone should have passed the news to them, so they know that the Whitebeard Pirates did not land."

"But they don't know I'm here."

"So the person who spread the news didn't know."

"That's how you conclude that there is an inner ghost on our ship." Marco's statement tone made it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"What if they knew where you were all along?"

"Oh, this is a suspicious point. We always follow our own whereabouts, but how can you be sure?"

"They know the island where you are going to stay next, and they intend to avoid it with you."

"..." Marko had a headache. He didn't want to doubt his partner. Besides, the Whitebeard Pirates had a large number of people, and it would take some time to investigate.

"Let's go, go back first."

"My friend was detained by them in the abandoned material factory in the east of the city. There are not many people."

"Then why don't you save yourself."

"I don't believe you can't see that I'm an ordinary person."

"But you were the first to discover us."

"This is a necessary condition for becoming a goddess."

"Go to the hospital first."

The goddess paused and looked back at Sarah: "I thought pirates were used to getting hurt."

Sara, who was following behind, froze.

"Getting used to being hurt doesn't mean enduring pain, and she's not a pirate."

"My wound is not deep, let's go directly, don't we have to rush back?"

"There's no rush, and you don't want Lakyo to give you medicine."

Sara paused for a moment, remembering that one day Saqi vividly talked about Lakyo's medical history, and shook his head resolutely.

The goddess looked at the two and smiled and led the way.

The three of them arrived at the medical hall not long after they left.

The goddess opened the door and walked in: "Uncle Waldo."

"Little Karin, I haven't been here for a long time." A burly man greeted her.

"Something happened recently, Uncle Waldo, look at this girl, she is hurt."

Waldo took a look: "It's okay, the wound is not deep, come and sit, I will bandage it for you."

Sarah walked over and sat on the chair, slowly rolling up her sleeves.

"Let me do it." Marco squatted down and moved cautiously.

"Take good care of it, and make sure there won't be any scars left." Valdo took a cotton cloth and dipped it in a medicine jar, and then applied it to the wound.

"En, ah!!!" Sara just nodded her head to express her understanding, and then she cried out in sudden pain.

Marco quickly grabbed Sarah's other hand to prevent her from touching the wound.

The little girl squeezed Marco's hand, her eyes were red from the pain.

"What kind of medicine are you, you can't take it by mistake." Marco frowned.

"How is it possible? My medicine is a good medicine. It will be fine in a while. Why are you nervous?"

Sara, who came back slowly, said softly, "Uncle, have you considered changing industries?"

"What? I think the doctor is not bad."

"No, I think you go to the interrogation to ensure that the prisoners will confess."

"...you girl."

"...Pfft" Goddess Karin covered her mouth and smiled, no longer a cold expression.

"Okay, be careful not to touch the water, change the medicine once a day, and you will recover in three to five days." Valdo took a small jar and handed it to Sarah, "You still don't let go?"

After realizing it, the little girl who was still holding Marco's hand tightly let go and took the medicine with a blushing face.

Marco stood up very calmly: "Let's go, solve it quickly." His hand hung down, and there were still bruises on it from the little girl's pinching.

Goddess Karin greeted Waldo, and they left for the east of the city.

"Miss Karin, do you know the origin of the man in black who arrested your friend and held you hostage?" Sarah asked.

"Isn't this what pirates do?" the goddess mocked.

"Seeing that their movements are too neat, they don't look like pirates, but rather..." Sara hesitated, but it looked like a navy style.

"There are quite a few people here during this period. I don't care if they are pirates or something else. I hope they find something to leave. At least this place can calm down."

"Although I don't know what the goddess means, aren't you guarding that thing?"

"It's been so long, I'm not even sure whether this thing exists, so I won't abandon my friend for it."

Aside from the other party's behavior of pulling them into the water, Sara kind of likes this goddess.

"It's here, let's break in directly?"

"Well," Marco looked back at Sarah: "You stay."

"I can fight."

"Prevent anyone from escaping and guard the door."

Sarah picked up the stick by the wall and nodded.

The goddess estimated the distance, gritted her teeth and said, "It's impossible for people to escape with your ability."

Marco continued walking inside without saying a word.

"It stands to reason that I, a person without force, should be allowed to stay outside?"

"I'm helping you save your friend, and besides, I don't trust you." Marco looked at her sharply.

"..." The goddess panicked, "At least I don't have any malicious intentions."

"You should be thankful that you have no malice."

The two stopped talking, and Marco rushed up directly when he saw the person.

Sarah was sweeping around with a stick, when she saw them coming out, she threw away the stick and ran over: "How are you? Are you rescued?"

Marco gave up his position expressionlessly, and the two people behind him, one big and one small, looked at Sarah and smiled brightly.

"what's the situation?"

"This is Jasmine, my friend." The goddess seemed very happy.

"Nice meeting, beautiful lady, I'm Jasmine." The little girl held up her skirt and saluted as a lady.

"Ah, hello, hello, I'm Sarah."

"Let me treat you to dinner, it's getting dark, and the stone gate will be closed."

"Okay, but are the stone gates closed at night?" Sara answered happily.

Marco swallowed the words to refuse, and followed, since there was nothing wrong with going back anyway. (Curiel, who was nestled in the pile of documents, looked at the sky speechlessly. I only promised to help for one day.)

"It's only been like this recently, even if someone wants to come in, I can't stop it," Karin led Jasmine, "By the way, people here don't welcome me very much, so I'm afraid I'm going to eat at my house."

"It's okay, I think Uncle Waldo likes you very much."

"Only Uncle Waldo helped me from time to time. I saved his son, although in the end... Jasmine is my only friend."

"Sister Carlin is the most amazing person." The little girl bounced.

"Okay, don't look for me alone next time, I will visit you often, go back quickly, your parents should worry."

"Well, I see. Goodbye, Sister Karin and Sister Sara." The little girl ignored Marco who was saving her.

"Let's go."

"You live in the forest?!" Sara followed out of the town and grabbed Karin who was going to the forest.
