traveler among pirates

Chapter 13 The Dangerous Girl

Shortly after Hughes left, a man with a strange haircut, a blindfold on his head, and casual clothing approached Cap.

Before he could get close, Garp's nose bubbles suddenly burst.

"Ah! No, no, why did you fall asleep!"

Garp stood up suddenly, scratching the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

"Mr. Karp, it's almost time, let's go back."

"Ah! It's you kid! I thought it was that kid just now!"

Garp looked at the empty beach chairs aside.

"What's the matter, Mr. Karp? Was anyone here just now?"

The visitor looked at Karp curiously.

"Ah, it's nothing. I just met an interesting person and wanted him to join the navy, but I was rejected."

"Ah~ I was lying so comfortably, I accidentally fell asleep, what a mistake, hahahahaha!"

Speaking of which, Garp suddenly laughed out of embarrassment.

"Ah la la~ Mr. Garp can think so highly of him that he wants to join the navy, he must be a great person!"

"Maybe,... No, no, it's so late! I have to reply to Xiaohe quickly, or Xiaohe will be angry!"

After speaking, Garp hurriedly jumped up from the recliner and ran outside.

"Ah la la ~ Mr. Karp is really anxious, but there will be a strange strong man here, it is really troublesome, but it happens at this time."

The visitor scratched his head in distress.

"Pirate. Not really, well~ Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes."

The person here is Aokiji, one of the three navy generals, the owner of the natural department · frozen fruit, Aokiji Kuzan.

As for why it was determined that Hughes was not a pirate, it was because of Garp.

Since Karp not only did not capture Hughes, but also planned to invite him to join the navy, it means that the other party will at least not be the navy or the revolutionary army.

"Anyway, it's none of my business. This kind of troublesome matter, let the world government have a headache."

Thinking of this, Aokiji shook his head and left indifferently.

And although he is in the navy, and he is also an admiral, he doesn't have a good impression of the upcoming Tianlong people.

Even he was influenced by Karp, and he was full of disgust for those guys.

On the other side, Hughes came to a night market, holding a skewer in his hand, half of which was missing and two barbecues the size of a human head, and a large bag of various local night stall delicacies in his other hand.

Looking from the back, Hughes' figure of more than two meters was no longer visible.

"Mmmm~ Pirates, Celestial Dragons, Navy, and World Government are expected to be there too. It's really a lively concert, and I'm looking forward to it more and more."

"what"

Hughes was about to bite off a piece of roast.

Pfft!
A figure rushed out of the dark alley and fell in front of Hughes, the street was brightly lit.

Hughes put down the kebabs he was about to enter, and held the supper in one hand, looking around, there were people coming and going on the street, but no one cared about it.

Or they noticed it, but chose to ignore it, and they didn't want to cause trouble.

Hughes stepped forward and squatted down, stretched out his hand to lift off the rough linen clothes on the person, his hands were a little heavy, and the clothes were wet and sandy.

What catches the eye is a side face covered with gravel and sewage, and it can still be seen clearly that it is a girl.

Suddenly Hughes' pupils shrank slightly, and a collar as thick as a baby's arm was locked on the neck of the fallen man. This is a slave collar!
Hughes also saw it in Sakura Country.

"Hello~"

Hughes patted her face a few times with his hand.

"Wake up, little girl, you will die if you sleep here~"

But the girl lying on the ground did not respond.

"Ah, it looks like it will be a troublesome thing again."

But that's what he said, but Hughes still didn't choose to ignore the person in front of him. No matter what, Hughes belonged to the chaotic and kind camp.

Hughes bit the barbecue in his hand, and lifted the figure on the ground with one hand.

Hughes originally wanted to carry it, but the clothes were too dirty, and Hughes grabbed the belt at the back of her waist with a look of disgust.

The girl was originally confused because of Hughes' two slaps, but when Hughes pulled her suddenly, her waist was strangled with pain, her eyes turned white, and she passed out again.

Seeing Hughes coming back with a tattered cloth bag, the people in the hotel looked curiously, and a waiter stepped forward.

"Excuse me sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah, no, thank you."

Hughes refused the waiter's help. This tattered cloth bag was the little girl Hughes picked up.

Because the sackcloth the girl wore outside was too big for her, this dress perfectly covered the girl's body completely.

To outsiders, Hughes looked like he was carrying a pile of rags.

Hughes returned to the room with the girl in one hand, and filled the bathtub with hot water.

Tear off the girl's sackcloth, and there was a single shirt inside, Hughes threw it directly into the bathtub.

grumble
The girl sank into the bathtub like this, and a series of bubbles rushed up.

"I won't just die like this."

Hughes touched his head, but looking at the bathtub water with all kinds of impurities floating around, Hughes lost the desire to do it in an instant.

'It's so dark, the body is so heavy, the waist hurts, the body is so cold...how is it hot?breathe……'

puff!

"Aww! Hurrah!"

"Where is this place?"

The girl suddenly sat up from the water, looked left and right, and was surrounded by unfamiliar scenes.

But beside him, there was actually a tall figure standing, that person was embracing his hands, looking at him indifferently.

When Hughes saw the girl wake up, he took a towel from a side shelf and threw it at her face.

"Wipe it yourself, the clothes are there."

Hughes pointed to a hanger on one wall in the bathroom, on which were several bathrobes.

"It's dealt with."

After talking about Hughes, he left. Hughes was not interested in the child's body.

Holding a towel on her head, the girl stayed in the water for a while before she barely understood her current situation. She should have been rescued by that man just now.

She was still in the corner of the bathroom, and saw the sackcloth she put on when she ran away at night, thanks to that dress, she was able to escape from there smoothly.

From the Celestial Dragons! ! !

Thanks to that dress, he was able to be thrown into the sea as garbage, and escaped unharmed.

"Grandma Angel..."

The girl lowered her head in the hot water of the bathtub, wrapped her hands around her knees, and muttered in her mouth, tears slid down her face from the corners of her eyes and dripped into the water.

Suddenly, she raised her arm and wiped it hard on her face a few times.

"Snapped!"

She patted her cheek vigorously with both hands, and two blood-red slap marks instantly appeared on the girl's fair, unstained face.

She raised her head, her eyes became firm.

"Whoa!"

The girl got up from the bathtub, wiped her body indiscriminately, changed into the loose bathrobe on the hanger, opened the bathroom door and walked out with a click.

Hughes is sitting on the sofa in the room at the moment, holding a copy of "Rare Sea Kings" in his hand. This book records all kinds of strange sea kings in detail. This is a precious book that Hughes took from Sakura Kingdom. books.

Hughes raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw the girl, wearing a bathrobe, standing at the door of the bathroom, looking at himself, Hughes just took a look and then looked away.

The atmosphere became silent.

Tick, tick.
The girl stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at Hughes, water dripped down her hair onto the wooden floor.
