Pirate reincarnated into slime

Chapter 68 Price
The fat missionary and the others did not execute her or expel her, but made money by selling the "cleaning stone", just as Roland and the others saw at the beginning.

They changed places every time they performed an operation. Today was the third time they did this, and the first two times, no one helped her.

Moreover, she hadn't eaten during this period of time, and she couldn't escape at an astonishing speed as before, and could only be at the mercy of others.

Then, just when she was already despairing of her life, Roland and the others appeared!
……

After listening to the story of the cat girl, Roland couldn't help curling his lips. It was another tragedy like Robin, caused by eating a devil fruit by mistake and the ignorance of the people around him.

That's right, Roland was almost certain that the other party had eaten the Devil Fruit. After all, the cat's ears and tail were not born, but obtained suddenly, and this was the only explanation.

However, a final confirmation is required.

There is a large amount of seawater stored in Roland's stomach pouch, so he took out a small basin, looked at the cat girl and said, "Put your hand in and try."

The other party didn't respond, but stared at Roland's hand with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Roland asked with some doubts.

"Just now... your hand..." the cat girl pointed to the palm where Roland had just briefly recovered into a slime form and took out the water basin and sea water, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Uh," Roland felt a little helpless, because it had become a habit, and he took it out accidentally, which was a big mistake.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to hide it. Roland said directly, "Believe it or not, I am actually not a human being, but a slime."

"Slime is... what?" the cat girl was still puzzled.

"It's too troublesome to explain. Anyway, you can just treat it as a very magical creature. Why? Are you afraid of me?" Roland continued.

"No, no, how could it be? I know you are not a bad person, and you are still my benefactor," the cat girl quickly waved her hand, then looked at Mei Lin, and continued, "The other benefactor is also Shi Lyme?"

"No," Mei Lin shook her head, "I'm human."

"Then don't you think I'm a monster? I'm also human, but I have cat ears and a tail," the cat girl said, looking at Mei Lin.

"I don't think so," Mei Lin shook her head again, "How can you be called a monster when you are a different person at most? A monster is not as cute as you."

"Thank you," the cat girl bowed to Mei Lin, paused, and continued, "Well, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiaoyu, where are the benefactors?"

"My name is Mei Lin, and this is Roland," Mei Lin said, "Don't call us benefactors, just call us by our names."

"Okay, Lord Meilin," Xiaoyu nodded.

"Don't add 'adult' at the end either!" Mei Lin said a little speechlessly, this title sounded really unfamiliar.

"That's not acceptable, you are my benefactors, you must be honored," Xiaoyu retorted.

"Okay, okay, let's put the address aside first," Roland suddenly interrupted their dispute, "Xiaoyu, try putting your hand in here, be careful, you may feel weak all over."

"Well," Xiaoyu nodded and followed suit.

Sure enough, as soon as her hand touched the sea water, her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mei Lin supported her.

"What is this..." After leaving the water, Xiaoyu was still in shock, although her physical strength was recovering rapidly, and she looked at Roland in surprise.

"Could it be that Xiaoyu..." Mei Lin thought of something and couldn't help exclaiming.

"That's right," Roland nodded slightly. "Sure enough, he ate a devil fruit. It seems that it may be a cat-shaped fruit of the animal family, or a cat-shaped fruit."

"The devil fruit you are talking about is... what?" Xiaoyu once again looked confused.

"Devil fruit, that is..." Roland introduced the basic situation of devil fruit to her, and then continued, "The one you ate should have side effects, so it makes you grow cat ears with cattails."

After a pause, Roland continued, "Although devil fruits are rare in this sea, they are quite normal. You don't need to worry too much."

Xiaoyu fell silent after hearing this, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, seeing that Xiaoyu seemed to have accepted the information, Roland continued, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Well, what does Lord Roland do?"

"We are navigators, wandering the sea and exploring various islands, what? Does Xiaoyu want to come with us?" Roland asked with a smile.

"Is it possible?" Xiaoyu couldn't help showing a hopeful expression while talking.

"Yes, yes, but the sea is very dangerous. You need to keep practicing and getting stronger. It's very tiring. Do you want to come with us?" Roland said with a serious face.

"I also want to cultivate and become stronger, and I am not afraid of suffering. Besides, I don't want to stay in this kingdom anymore, so..." Xiaoyu bit her lip, holding back her tears, "So, please let me I will leave with you!"

Roland fell silent. Although the other party is still a little girl, there is a lot of room for growth if she has a devil fruit, and she will not go to too dangerous seas for the time being. She can have a chance to become stronger, and she is indeed quite strong. If you like her, why don't you agree?
Mei Lin was also silent. She begged Roland to join in the same way. Naturally, she hoped that Roland would agree to Xiaoyu. However, Roland is the captain, and she felt that she should not speak at this time.

Seeing that both Roland and Meilin fell silent, Xiaoyu continued, "Although I am weak now and cannot repay Lord Roland's kindness, I will try my best to become very powerful! Besides, I was a maid before, and I still I can take care of Lord Roland's daily life, and I can also do some chores, please let me follow you!"

After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply to Roland, her frail body trembling slightly because of this movement.

"Okay, I agree," Roland's voice finally sounded.

Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Roland excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Roland!"

"Don't call me my lord, call me the captain," Roland corrected.

"Yes! Captain Roland!" Xiaoyu shouted again, her body trembling more and more.

Roland also noticed that something was wrong with her, so he directly took out a small bottle of healing medicine and handed it to her, "Drink this, this is the price of joining us."

"..." Meilin glanced at Roland speechlessly. What was he talking about?
