Chapter 16 Meeting Kapweini's Whereabouts Again

"Is that... really all right?"

Winnie put down the big crab claw in her hand and asked Hughes in a low voice.

She just learned from Hughes that the world government may have discovered that she is still alive, and has sent people to search for her on this island.

"It's okay, they shouldn't recognize you now, you have to trust my craftsmanship, and your sign of being a slave is gone, and it's impossible for them to find you."

Hughes put down the wine glass in his hand and comforted that Wei Ni asked Hughes to cut off her hair because she was worried that the world government would recognize her.

Now Wei Ni has short hair that reaches her ears, and the hair on her forehead hides her face.

"Ah."

Winnie nodded, and lowered her head again to sip crab meat. Although she hadn't known each other for long, she believed that Hughes would not lie to her.

Rather than believing in Hughes, it is better to say that she can only trust Hughes, and the freedom she has now is false.

All that she has is because of the momentary kindness of the man in front of her.

After leaving this man, she might be caught back in the next second and become a toy that the Tianlong people would get tired of at any time.

Hughes looked helplessly, like a wounded animal, always vigilant around.

Seeing that she began to tremble unconsciously again, and looked at him with pitiful eyes from time to time.

Hughes guessed casually, knowing what she was thinking now, he patted Winnie's little head.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind for at least five days."

As for five days later, if it doesn't work, I will hand it over to the navy. Anyway, there is still a Garp here.

According to what I know about Karp, as long as Karp knows what happened to this child, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take good care of her and help her find a stable place to live.

Maybe joining the navy would be a good idea for her, didn't she want to become stronger.

The residue was swept away, the hot food was put on the table again, and a new round of eating began.

"Ah! Isn't this Hughes! What a coincidence, we meet again! Hahaha!"

At this moment, a rough voice came from the door of the restaurant.

Hughes put down the wine glass in his hand, heard the sound and saw that it was Garp, wearing yesterday's beach cover, holding a toothpick in his hand, picking his teeth up and down.

It must have just come out of the restaurant.

When Garp called Hughes' name, Winnie looked up at Hughes curiously. This was the first time she knew Hughes' name.

"It's a coincidence, uncle."

Garp walked over carelessly, pulled a chair and sat directly on the side of the table.

Winnie was slightly startled. Seeing this person sitting directly next to her, she quickly jumped off the chair and trot to Hughes' side, with her head lowered, and her little hand was holding the corner of Hughes' clothes, motionless.

Garp was a little sad when he saw Winnie's behavior. He pointed at himself and looked at Hughes, "Am I hated?"

Hughes patted Winnie, "No, this child is just a little shy."

"That's it, come on, look, look!"

As he said that, Garp suddenly thought of something, he pulled his eyelids and mouth up and down with his fingers, and made a strange expression.

Winnie raised her head cautiously when she heard Garp's voice, only to see Garp's funny grimace, and burst out laughing out loud.

Seeing Winnie smile, Karp quickly changed his grimace, poked his nostrils and mouth with chopsticks, rolled his eyes up, pulled his cheeks with his hands, and kept changing the expression on his face.

"This, this, and this...Look, look!"

Garp was like a child, playing with Winnie, and Winnie burst into tears because of Garp's funny face.

"Hahaha!……"

After playing for a while, Garp seemed to finally remember what he was here for, and he looked at Hughes.

"Hughes, I invite you again, are you interested in joining the navy?"

This time his invitation was more serious than last time, but that's it, the attitude still gave people a very casual look.

'navy! '

Hearing the word "Navy", Winnie's body, which was originally relaxed because of Karp's funny face, tightened quietly.

Her hands clung to Hughes's clothes again, and she curled up behind Hughes.

In her impression, the navy, the world government, and the Tianlong people are all in the same group.

If the navy knew that he was a slave, he would definitely be taken away, and the man beside him would also be implicated.

"Sorry, Mr. Karp, I'm not very interested in joining the navy. What I want is to travel alone."

Hughes replied to Garp seriously. Although he didn't know why Karp invited himself again, he still chose to refuse.

The navy was too restrictive for him to suit his desire to take risks.

"Pfft haha! Traveling is good! It's okay, I'm just asking casually."

Garp pinched his nose, saying indifferently.

Oddly enough, if this sentence was uttered by someone else, it would give off a forced smile.

But from Cap's mouth, it's like he's really just asking
"But Mr. Karp, can you take her with you?"

Hughes pulled out Winnie who was hiding behind him.

"Eh?"

When Winnie heard that Hughes said that she would give herself to the navy in front of her, her head went blank with a buzzing sound, and her face immediately lost all color and turned pale.

She didn't know why Hughes handed himself over to the navy.

Her body was stiff, and she turned to Hughes in a daze, her eyes helpless.

"why."

Seeing her expression, Hughes knew that this person was thinking wildly again, but it was normal, after all, her parents and family members might have been killed by the Tianlong people.

And in her cognition, the navy and the Tianlongren belong together, and handing her over to the navy is equivalent to giving her to the Tianlongren.

Hughes' behavior is equivalent to betraying her trust, although her trust is dispensable to Hughes.

"This man is indeed a navy, and he is also a vice admiral."

"Then why."

Winnie didn't know and didn't want to know what Hughes meant, she just wanted an explanation.

"The hero of the Navy Headquarters, Monkey D Garp, if you don't want to live in hiding in the future, you'd better go with him."

Hughes explained something to Wei Ni well.

"Mr. Garp, this child is a slave of the Tianlong people. He was arrested by the Tianlong people three days ago, and then escaped by himself. I accidentally picked him up.

However, it is not suitable for me to take such a child on my future trips, so I hope you can take her away, and it will be up to you in the future. "

"Well, I see, I helped with this."

Garp had a serious face after listening to Hughes' words, no longer as casual as before.

To him, Tianlong people have always been like shit, for this favor, he will definitely help.

As for whether Hughes is lying to him, he can still tell this, don't look at his usual heartless and careless appearance.

But under this carefree appearance, he is still a lieutenant general of the Navy headquarters, known as the existence of the hero Garp!

"But."

Wei Ni was still a little dazed, didn't she say that she could stay by his side for five days?How to throw yourself to others in the blink of an eye, although it is to the hero of the navy, Cap.

She had heard the name of the naval hero Karp. This kind of person probably wouldn't hand herself over to the Tianlong people, but she was still worried.

After all, it was just heard, and if the Tianlong people knew that they were here, the navy would not know whether they would hand them over in the end.

"Little girl, don't worry, I won't hand you over to those bastards of Tianlong people!"

"Eh!!"

Hearing Garp's bold words just now, Winnie was shocked. Even if the person in front of him is a hero of the navy, the Tianlongren is the master of this world!How dare he!
"Ah! No, no, you can't say what you just said, just pretend that I didn't say it."

'I've heard it! ! '

Winnie looked in shock at the naval hero who was still uttering wild words just now.

"Now you know why I gave you to him."

Hughes patted Winnie's body that was 'petrified' because of being too shocked.

"Uh-huh."

Winnie nodded stiffly.
