One Piece: Heart Set Sail

After resting for a while, the old lady said to the three of them: "I heard that a man sneaked in. I think it must be related to you. If you want to leave here, a melee is inevitable. I will take you to find your companions." , you must be careful of the witches here."

"Witch?"

"Yes, you can stay young forever with the blood of young girls. This method is what the witch told the eldest lady, and she has been hunting young girls with the eldest lady."

"Okay." Ikaku helped the old lady put the three cups on the cupboard, and then said: "The men who came should be the captain and the others. I believe we will be safe in the end. By the way, old man, if we accidentally kill You won't be angry if you lose that eldest lady, right?"

The old lady shook her head: "She has changed a long time ago and is no longer the same person. I believe that if the earl was still alive, he would never allow her to use such a cruel method to achieve her goals."

"We are relieved to hear you say that, because we are very strong!" Ikaku gave a thumbs up.

The old woman smiled, turned a mechanism somewhere in the room, and a spiral staircase appeared on the ground: "Let's go and find your companions."

Go down the stairs and soon arrive at the bell tower.The sky is no longer as clear as before. Now there are a few thick clouds blocking the sun, and the ground suddenly becomes much gloomier.Luo and his party also walked towards the bell tower. The most important thing was to gather all the members first. They would consider other things later.

"Xiaochan, does your injury still hurt?" Bebo asked with concern: "Why did you leave so late at night? If Kaiden hadn't discovered that you were not in the room in the morning, we wouldn't have known that you were missing."

"I'm okay. I don't know exactly what happened, but I vaguely remember that I heard a burst of carillon music. When I woke up, I was already in this place, and Ikkaku and Xiaoxue, and other girls, everyone is the same, they have such wounds on their bodies, almost all over their bodies." Xiaochan couldn't explain the reason for the bruises all over her body.

"I guess you must have passed through the thorn bushes." Xia Qi said: "Because on the way here, we found the bodies of girls in the thorn bushes. Maybe the missing girls are not just the ones you see, but those who are not missing." Those who arrive here should all die in the thorn bushes."

"..." Thinking of walking through the thorn bush, Xiaochan felt pain all over her body. She didn't even know when this happened.

After walking for about ten minutes, Bepo saw Xue, Ikaku and others who were also walking towards them.

"Xiaoxue?! Xiaoxue!" Beibo started shouting from a distance, waving while shouting: "We are here!"

Xue immediately saw the waving big white bear and Luo, the leader carrying a long knife, and ran over excitedly.She seemed to have forgotten that she was also covered in cuts and bruises, and her long, torn, goose-yellow nightgown became more elegant as she ran.Then, she hugged Luo.

"Hiss..." The violent running caused bursts of pain from some deep wounds on Xue's body.But she was still very happy: "Brother Luo! I knew it, I knew you would definitely come back! By the way, I don't know how Xiaochan is doing! Xiaochan..."

"I'm here, Xiaoxue!" Xiaochan was supported by Peijin, and she was much calmer now: "I was rescued by the captain and the others."

"Great, it's great that you're okay!" Xue was extremely happy.

"Okay, don't move." Luo squatted down and looked at her injuries: "Does it hurt? You were running so fast just now."

"Hehe, it's okay, Brother Luo! I don't feel any pain!"

"Show off." Luo brushed her messy hair away and saw some scars on her fair cheek: "Go back and apply medicine properly, so there won't be any scars."

"Ok!"

Bebo came over and hugged Xue: "It's so pitiful for such a small child to suffer such an injury."

Xue kissed Beibo: "Thank you, Beibo, but I'm really not too serious."

The old lady spoke at this moment: "If you want to leave, I'm afraid you will have to turn this castle into chaos. The witch is not that easy to deal with." She looked at Luo and continued: "You are one of these people He is the leader of the team. It can be seen that he is an outstanding young man. Finally, I, an old lady, can I ask you one more favor?"

"What's the matter?" Luo asked.

"If you can, please help Miss Crist. I have watched her grow up. I am very sad that she has become such a non-human being. Stop her, otherwise there will be more in the future." of girls lost their lives.”

"Christ? Who is it?" The crew still didn't know the truth about the castle, so Xue told everyone what the old woman had said before.

"I see, it's really... ugh." Xavier sighed helplessly: "The source of everything is because of that man. Has he never appeared again?"

The old lady nodded: "Since I said those words to the eldest lady, that person has never appeared again. No one knows who he is. Maybe he is a devil who turned the gentle and kind-hearted lady into this."

"Why should I agree to such a boring thing?" Luo's tone was very nonchalant: "What's in it for us?"

"There are a lot of gold and silver treasures in the castle. You are pirates, so you will need them, right? The treasure is under the bell tower. After you have done this, you can go and get it. Just treat it as a transaction."

"Brother Luo, please promise grandma. Maybe this will be a good thing for the girls who live in the village in the future, and for Miss Christ herself. Besides, there are gold and silver treasures that can be taken." Xue begged. He looked at Luo.

"Troublesome, but since there is treasure, I agree to this deal. It just so happens that the ship can add some new medical equipment and daily utensils." Luo finally nodded, and then he went to find the eldest lady named Krist. .Everyone followed the old lady to a certain part of the castle. Xue also told everyone on the way that she had eaten the devil fruit.

"Xiaoxue, do you feel anything strange about your body?" Bebo was curious about what Xue's ability would be.

Xue felt it for a while, but didn't feel anything strange in her body: "No, I didn't feel it. Could it be that I'm too stupid? Even the Devil Fruit doesn't want me to lose its ability?"

Kaiden was amused: "Don't worry, maybe you haven't gotten used to it yet, maybe you can use it later."

"Okay." Xue could only look forward to it.

"That's right." Peijin reminded: "Be careful not to fall into the sea in the future, otherwise you will die! People with devil fruit abilities are rejected by the sea."

"Okay, okay, I've known this for a long time!"

On the way, the old lady thought of something else and said, "I forgot to tell you. The eldest lady must have eaten that strange fruit, so you still have to be careful."

"It turns out he is also a person with abilities. What kind of abilities could he have?"

The old lady said she didn't know: "I don't know about this. I only know that the eldest lady has eaten that kind of fruit, but I have never seen the eldest lady use any ability to kill people. It may be because the people who were killed were basically ordinary people. "

Xavier thanked him: "Old lady, thanks to you we can learn so much about this castle, which is very beneficial to us."

"I want to thank you. As long as I can help the eldest lady escape from this kind of life, how about it? I can't watch her continue to sink."

Afterwards, everyone entered the basement of the castle through an entrance in the garden.There are candles at regular intervals, which should be very large.Continuing to walk down, Bebo began to frown: "Captain, I smell a strong smell of blood. There must be many people dead down here."

The old lady walked in the front. She said: "Most of the girls died in this basement. The eldest lady would bathe in their blood here and often torture them."

"Are those girls from before still alive now?" Xiaochan asked.

"I don't know, I can only pray."

On the other side of the island, Wu Ni and Curioni guarded the girl together, and they could only worry here.

"Cuglioni, what the girl said was not a lie, right? The captain and the others have been there for a while." Wu Ni sat on the stone and supported his head.

Curioni made the mistake of falling asleep during the vigil. At this time, he no longer dared to slack off on the task assigned to them by Luo, so he looked at the girl intently: "It's useless to think about this now. Is it a real or fake captain?" They have all gone, so I can only wish them good luck, and I will definitely watch this little girl every step of the way this time."

The girl finished watering the flowers outside the door, looked at Wu Ni and Curioni, and said, "If you are both strong captains, there should be no problem."

"I'm telling you, what do you know and why don't you tell me?" Curioni asked. Seeing that the girl was still silent, he added: "You must be an accomplice, right? There are so many girls in the village. The disappearance must have something to do with you, right?"

"It's not me!" The girl's reaction was a little loud: "Now that things have happened, it doesn't matter even if I tell you. This time, either your captain will be defeated and die in the castle, or the people in the castle will die. All Everything is over."

Wu Ni walked towards her: "So, who are you?"

"Apolline Devoncil." She said calmly: "I am the youngest daughter of the original owner of the castle. The person who hunted those girls was my sister, Christer Devoncil."

"You know it, so why don't you tell the people in the village?"

"It's been ten years since I escaped from the castle." Ai Bolin looked at the sky blankly: "My sister wanted to kill me at first, but I finally escaped. After hiding for so many years, when my sister started When I hunted the girls in the village, I originally wanted to tell them, but one night, I was raped by the people in the village..."

Although Ai Bo Lin Lu did not say anything, Curioni and Wu Ni guessed what happened next and looked at each other speechlessly.

"I hate them, so wouldn't it be good for those girls to die? Haha." Smiling, Aibelin shed tears: "Sister listened to the witch and used the sound of the carillon that can confuse the girls to lure them there. In fact, some people will die on the way to the castle, so my sister deliberately let them go through the thorn bushes, which is really a relief."

"Your family is really complicated." Cuglioni was also surprised when he heard this: "But no matter what, our companions were also arrested by your sister. Ah, Wu Ni, do you think... they also By thorns..."

"Nonsense, it's absolutely impossible. The three of them have all been trained. They must be different from ordinary people. How could a mere thorn kill them?" Wu Ni said with certainty: "Ikaku, you and I both know. Xiaoxue and Xiaochan came from the Holy Land, so they naturally learned from the strong ones."

"makes sense."

"You two, what are you going to do next?" Ai Bo Lin asked.

"What can I do? Of course I will continue to stare at you."

Ai Bolin Lu sneered: "Then follow me to the castle. I want to get to know each other this time. I want to see my sister."
