Legion from Pirates

Chapter 202 If you are forgotten, you will disappear
After sending Robin back, Ronan asked at the shipyard, and then came to the place with the most abandoned ships.

Abby and Kaya, because they are worried about Robin, will stay with them for a while.

Others collect sea salt, not so quickly.

Ronan thought to himself, it's not too late, so he decided to see if he could find the ship elf.

In a corner near the coast full of abandoned and useless ships, Ronan came here quietly.

At this time, several strange-looking children were talking, and Ronan approached them while they were not paying attention.

"Maybe I can help."

After listening for a while, Ronan suddenly spoke.

The air suddenly quieted down.

These children looked back at Ronan at the same time, their eyes widened to an exaggerated extent, and the eyeballs jumped out.

"Haha, sorry for scaring you."

Seeing this, Ronan waved his hands and said with a smile.

Then, several children flew into the distance like the wind.

That's right, it's flying every now and then without touching the ground.

Simultaneously.

If it was replaced by a normal person, he would definitely not be able to help screaming loudly at this time.

Because these children are obviously not normal children, but exist like ghosts.

However, Ronan is obviously not an ordinary person.

Instead, he looked at them with interest.

"Are you all right, do you need help?"

Not all children ran away at once.

One of them seemed to have gone wrong and became somewhat transparent and unreal.

It looked like it was about to disappear at any moment.

He also wanted to run away with the other children, but before he ran a few steps, he seemed to be exhausted, and when the wind blew, he returned to Ronan again.

Seeing his terrified face, Ronan couldn't help asking softly.

This child obviously didn't expect that Ronan's attitude was so good, and he cared about asking him.

So, he froze for a moment, and the panic on his face dissipated a bit.

"I'm... fine."

"Number seven!"

At this time, the few children who had just run away saw their companions being left behind, and shouted anxiously in the distance.

Instead of running away, they gritted their teeth and ran back, making a menacing look at Ronan, trying to scare him away.

But it obviously didn't work for him.

"I'm very interested in you, come and sit down and chat." Ronan said with a wave.

The children hesitated and did not dare to approach immediately.

Ronan didn't say much, but chatted with the illusory child in front of him.

"Your name is Number Seven? It doesn't sound like a real name, can you tell me your name? By the way, my name is Ronan, and I'm currently a travel novelist."

Before listening to their chat, Ronan found that they were calling each other by numbers, starting from the number one and continuing to the number ten.

They are number one, number three, number six, number seven, and number ten.

The missing numbers are not blank, but dead.

Really die, disappear.

Although he didn't hear them talking, Ronan probably guessed that they were the legendary ship elves.

And the problem they are facing right now is that Number Seven is dying.

"You, why aren't you afraid."

Number Seven was a little surprised and asked a question.

"Scared?" Ronan smiled, "Because you are ship elves?"

"So you know." No. [-] was even more surprised. Not far away, the children who were hesitating and arguing suddenly fell silent.

"I have heard of and know of your existence. A ship elf was born on a pirate ship of a friend of mine."

Ronan replied.

"So that's the case. It seems that your friend must be a boat lover."

After hearing this, Number Seven's expression softened.

From his eyes, Ronan saw envy.

"Can you tell me about your problem, maybe I can help you."

Luffy loves boats?

How to say about this kind of thing, it is not true to say that he does not love, but to say that he loves, he is not that much in love.

It's only when you lose that you realize it.

In comparison, Usopp is the one who really loves the Golden Merry.

Of course, Usopp is also his friend, so it's okay for Seven to think so.

Ronan didn't explain, although he was talking about Luffy.

Seven was silent.

At this time, not far away, his companion came over.

"Because he was forgotten, number seven is going to disappear, can you really help him?"

The one who spoke was number one.

She is a girl, about ten years old, but her eyes look like 30 years old.

"Forgotten? Can you tell me more about it?"

Ronan nodded at her and said in an equal tone.

This made No. [-] look at him in surprise.

"It seems that although you have heard the legend of the ship elves, you don't understand..."

Number one said slowly.

After a while, Ronan knew what it was to be forgotten and disappear.

It turned out that the ship elves were born out of love, or because of the crew's feelings for the ship.

Although, sometimes they don't die because the ship is damaged or abandoned.

In these abandoned ships, as now, they lived like ghosts.

However, when they are completely forgotten, they will disappear completely.

To put it simply, when one day, the people who let them be born, and those who love them, forget about them, then they will disappear.

As for why they used numbers as their names, it was because they were all abandoned here, so they chose to abandon their original names.

"That is to say, as long as there are people who care about you and remember you, you will always exist, so I understand."

Ronan nodded after listening.

Then, he stretched out his hand to Number Seven in front of him.

"Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, come on my boat."

When Number Seven was stunned, Ronan said seriously.

"I…"

Looking at his hand, Seven hesitated.

He was abandoned once, and now he is even more forgotten, and he is about to disappear. His mood is very complicated.

"Promise him." At this moment, No. [-] spoke again.

"Come on, believe me, I really have a boat that I want recently, and I haven't born a boat elf yet. The key is that my boat is not small, even if there are a few more boat elves, it will be fine."

Having said this, Ronan looked at the other ship elves.

"I'm serious, you can come together."

Except for No. [-], the other ship spirits were obviously moved after hearing this.

Watching their companions completely disappear again and again, they knew that one day, it would be their turn.

However, even the ship elves are not willing to die like this.

As for No. [-], Ronan felt that he couldn't see through her.

Obviously only about ten years old.

"Why did you invite us?" At this moment, No. [-] asked again.

Maybe Ronan knew of Seven's existence and became interested in him.

Therefore, his appearance that was about to dissipate was stabilized for the time being.

Ronan was not in a hurry to make him agree.

"What I really want to say is because of a conjecture of mine."

Ronan took off the elephant knife hanging from his waist, and explained.
