Master of Power in One Piece World

Chapter 71 Let me tell you (sneaky), reading is still very useful (whispers)
"Then, Karl Kingdom."

"You already guessed it, didn't you?
He knew what the kid was going to ask, so he confirmed his guess before he finished speaking.

"is that so"

Dylan lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Thinking about their current situation and how the Karen Kingdom is now, he can figure it out.From those books, he also saw the answer, didn't he?

Human beings are like this, even if they have an affirmative answer in their hearts, they only want to hear the result from others.

"Little devil, why are you pretending to be an adult?"

While he was in a daze, Ren walked up to him, grabbed his cheeks with both hands, and pulled them away.

This dwarf with some baby fat on his face, occasionally showing a mature look, made Ren feel very weird.

A child should act like a child, why are you frowning.

kindness?this touch
He tugged again.

"Are you much older than me?"

Awakened by the pain on his face, Dylan stared at Ren who leaned in front of him with his fish eyes hanging.That beating look, if he had hands.Definitely give him a punch.

After a long time, Ren, who had had enough, let go of his hand and patted his head: "Tell me about you."

With dead fish eyes, Dylan rubbed his shoulder against his shoulder in disgust.

"say what?"

Ren put his hands on his hips and dragged his chin with one hand: "You didn't want to cause trouble for Ms. Fran, so you went."

He didn't say the rest.

The pain and sadness contained in that behavior made him subconsciously avoid the past.I don't want to make things difficult for this precocious boy.

"."

Dylan paused, then continued to rub his cheeks as if nothing had happened.

After their father left, they could see their lives in these years.My mother needs to make wine during the day, and runs the tavern every night.

In the absence of rest, tobacco can only be used to refresh oneself.

And he couldn't help at all, and he always added a burden to her.Seeing her pretending to be okay in front of him every time she was tired for a day.

This situation caused him great pain
She didn't know, that kind of exhaustion, even if she opened her eyes hard, there was no way to hide it.Whether it was the dark bags under the eyes or the sluggishness of her actions, they all exposed her state.

He's not one of those little kids his age.How could it be impossible to see what mother was doing this for?

So usually, he has to pretend not to know.Just because I don't want my mother to worry.

"Then, when you heard the news that Ms. Fran was selected as a maidservant, you wanted to take your own life."

Dylan's silence did not stop Ryan from speaking.

Although this brat is much smarter than his peers.But the idea is still somewhat one-sided.

He sighed inwardly.

"But have you ever thought about Ms. Fran? You feel that your disappearance is a relief for her, but she feels that you are his hope for living."

Thinking of the lady in the tavern yesterday, Ren's tone became serious.

"Of course I know! You don't need to teach me!"

Dylan, who had been lowering his eyes, raised his head.

He knows it all!

But if, without him, mother wouldn't have to be so tired

He had this idea a long time ago.

It's not that there are still single people in the village.Although everyone in the village is not rich, there are many suitors for my mother.

However, the mother's protection of herself, and the fire that ignited.

However, those who originally insisted on pursuing their mother in the rumors slowly gave up their own ideas.

At this time, the servant of the witch came.

Dylan, who had just overheard their conversation, was very happy. As long as her mother served the witch, she would be able to live a good life without her burden.

As for himself, although his body is a little inconvenient, he is confident that he will not starve to death after reading so many books.

"What about my child?"

In the tavern, Fran's question made Dylan's joy slowly disappear, and he guessed what his mother would say next.

"The witch said, you can all go to the shrine to live"

".Really? Let my children stay in the mountains for the rest of their lives?"

The smoke was exhaled, and a sneer sounded.

In the cubicle, hearing the villagers' denunciation after his mother refused, Dylan's eye sockets overflowed with water.

No need!Don't worry about me!

You think for yourself!
Living here, he knows how high the status of that witch is, and she has such great power, and that witch is not what the story describes in the book.

As long as the mother goes to the sacrificial hall, she doesn't have to work so hard, and the food that the villagers pay tribute every month is enough for her to live well.

But she is still like this, no matter what she thinks of him first!
"I'm not going, didn't you hear?"

In the noisy persuasion, Fran's tone did not fluctuate.

"Now that you know what you mean to Ms. Fran, do you still think so?"

Ren looked at the oppressive dark clouds in the sky and asked softly.

".Otherwise, isn't a person like me a burden?"

Pulled out of his memory by his words, Dylan was silent for a moment and shrugged his shoulders.

On the empty sleeves, the child's smile is full of indifference.He had long been used to his physical imperfections.

"Did you know? It's a big world out there"

"Heh, what do you want to say? Can my arm heal?"

Dylan laughed ironically: "Don't be kidding me? I was born, do you know that I was born! The medical skills outside are developing, and it is impossible for me to grow arms out of thin air."

"That's what God can do!"

"."

Ryan's eyes were strange. Indeed, this kind of natural disease is difficult to cure. Even with the advanced technology of the previous life, Dylan's condition cannot be cured.

But this world is different!
Not to mention those strange devil fruits, the countless islands in the sea have different development directions.

"Do you know prosthetics?"

"Prosthetics?"

"Well, it's an artificial arm"

Before Dylan could laugh, Ryan continued, "It's not a wooden decoration, but a real artificial object with the function of an arm."

"If you have a good surgeon to help you connect the nerves, it's no different from a real arm"

"...This kind of thing, can it really work?"

Hearing this for the first time, Dylan's voice had a tremor that he couldn't even detect.

Ren waved his hand, and the packed trees on the ground floated up and approached him.Grabbing the knotted rope firmly, Ren grinned: "Of course."

"So, do you want to go to sea with me?"

In the dripping rain, the boy laughed and invited.

"I"

Dylan could see that, unlike the playful tone, the emotion in the eyes of this stranger was so solemn.

"You don't want to drag your mother down, and there is a cure for you outside. Look, it would be great to go to sea with me."

He is not going to be a pirate.What does it matter if a little ghost is added to a tour group.It's not like he can't afford that little food.

Of course, this also has something to do with him really wanting to help this kid.

"I, I'm thinking~"

Dean was moved, this is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds.

But when he thought of his mother in the tavern, he hesitated again.

"Then you should think about it carefully. By the way, you can also ask Ms. Fran."

Ren nodded, and then seemed to remember something: "Well, there is also the sheriff."

"He is still worrying about how to let me keep the secret here."

Speaking of this, the boy smiled maliciously.
