If something is precious, you must protect it well.

When he saw that slightly familiar figure in the Shampoo Islands again, Long's reaction was: he closed his eyes hard and waited for several seconds before opening them again! He thought he was hallucinating, but when he opened his eyes again and found that the figure in front of him was still there, he understood that it was not a hallucination.

Although he didn't know why people who should still be in the New World appeared in the Shampoo Islands at this time, this did not prevent him from thinking about other things. For example, what did Gol D. Roger, who had recently become the Pirate King, want to do here? What, or rather, what is the purpose of the entire Roger Pirates coming here.

but. He looked at the girl wandering alone on the street and looked puzzled. Could it be that the Roger Pirates were so relieved to let a girl travel alone in the Shampoo Islands? Where were the two brats who had been following her?

Long secretly observed the area, but did not find any members of the Roger Pirates, which made him even more confused.

Seeing that the girl was about to leave here, for some unknown reason, he quietly followed her, and then as expected, he saw the girl being wrapped in a sack.

He originally thought this was some new fishing method of the Roger Pirates, but after quietly watching for a while, he still couldn't find the members of the Roger Pirates. Long was even more confused. He couldn't figure out the situation and was afraid of an accident. He followed anyway.

Vivian woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she was still in the state before being covered with a sack, so she wanted to attack immediately. However, with the sound of chains shaking, she found that her hands were bound by something, so she lowered her head and looked quickly Arms, then he saw that his hands were tightly cuffed by a pair of handcuffs. Both ends of the handcuffs were connected to a strong chain, and one end of the chain was connected to the wall.

She's been kidnapped again!

This discovery made Vivian a little annoyed. She tried to break free from the chain, but she didn't know what the chain was made of, and even under her strength, there was no fingerprint.

"Don't waste your efforts. Once you enter here, just wait to die."

This voice is like someone who has been in the desert without water for a long time, and his voice is hoarse.

Vivian was stunned for a moment and then realized that there was someone else here besides her. However, when she saw the person speaking clearly, her whole body was covered with goosebumps, and her hands and feet felt cold.

I saw a person thrown in the corner like garbage. His hands and feet seemed to have been broken into several different shapes by someone with extremely cruel methods. Not only the arms and legs, but also ten fingers and toes, They were all violently bent into crooked shapes. The exposed skin was bruised and purple, and there were bloody scabs and wounds covering almost his entire body. His nails had all been pulled out due to lack of timely treatment. There were not many teeth left, and where the eyes used to be, there was only a large piece of red, black, bloody rotten flesh exposed.

Seeing this scene, Vivian's stomach turned upside down, and she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from vomiting it out in front of others.

She had never seen such a scene. Even though she was used to killing people, the Roger Pirates never tortured their enemies. They would simply give them a good time or let them go. So the first time she saw a person being tortured into such a state of being neither human nor ghost, Vivian was greatly shocked in her heart.

"Who are you?" she asked with a trembling voice.

"Me?" A long gash was cut on both sides of the man's mouth, causing his speech to be unclear: "I was originally a businessman..."

Speaking of this, he breathed hard and painfully for a long time before continuing: "I was sold here by... my enemies. Because I wanted to escape, I was... tortured like this." He knew that he had been... Not long to live.

"Those who are sent...here will only die..." He looked at the person sitting on the box with pity in his heart. Just by listening to the voice, he could imagine the youth and beauty of the other person: "If I, am You, I will commit suicide immediately..." After he finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing non-stop, and every time he coughed, he would spit out a large mouthful of blood.

But even so, he still stared in the direction of the girl in front of him. He gasped for air, struggling to steal fresh air, even breathing made his body hurt. The flesh around his eyes was constantly overflowing with black and smelly blood.

It must be ugly. He thought, but not long ago, he was obviously the object of many girls' pursuit. He has a fiancée... He promised her that after delivering this shipment, he would be able to save enough money to marry her!

He promised her that he would take her away from her gambling father.

He clearly promised her that he would definitely go back and marry her.

However, it seems that he is going to break the promise... He is so scared. What if she thinks he has abandoned her? In that case, she will be very sad and sad.

He was most afraid of her crying.

He really, really likes her!

…………

Vivian opened her mouth, but suddenly closed it. She just sat there quietly, watching the man's voice slowly weaken until it was completely silent.

he died.

Realizing this, she slowly placed her hand over her heart.

Why... She obviously didn't know this person at all, but the emotions he burst out before he died made her feel so sad that her heart ached so much that she almost couldn't breathe.

What kind of emotion is this? She didn't understand, she had never felt such complex emotions.

What is this emotion called?

"boom--"

A sudden loud noise interrupted Vivian, who was immersed in unknown emotions. She looked up and found that a huge hole had been blasted out of the wall in front of her. The next second, a person walked in quickly. , he destroyed the railing and walked straight towards Vivian.

"It's you?!" Vivian shouted when she saw the person coming. The moment the sound rang out, she thought it was Lei Li or Xia Qi, but she never expected that the person coming would actually be him!

Long glanced at her, then looked around, and after finding that there were no other abducted people, he walked over and squatted in front of her, and without saying a word, he broke the chain that Vivian had tried so hard to break. After handcuffing him, he stood up, said "Follow me" and left quickly.

Before leaving, Vivian glanced at the dead man in the corner with complicated eyes. When she heard the noise coming from the door, she also left quickly.

She followed the person in front of her in silence, but she kept thinking about the emotion she just felt in her mind, so that when the person in front of her stopped, she didn't notice it at all and bumped into him.

"Uh-huh!" Vivian covered her nose and came to her senses, shouting angrily: "Why stop?! You stupid guy!"

This name...

Long Xin was stuffed for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "My name is Long."

Vivian gave him a strange look: "I know."

"..."

Long Geng was heartbroken.

He had a bad premonition in his heart. If he continued to be involved with the girl in front of him... Long looked at the height of the person opposite him with an upright look and gave a definition... If he continued to be involved with this girl again... If so, I always feel that something bad will happen to him.

Not only is he not good at contacting female creatures, but more importantly, he actually does not want to contact female creatures. The old man often tells him that women are creatures that can hinder their progress.

Although he felt a little incomprehensible about his actions in rescuing this man just now, he still found a reason that he could accept: if the Roger Pirates found out that their partner had been sent to the auction. , then they will definitely make a big fuss in the Chambord Islands at that time. If it is more serious, maybe half of the Chambord Islands will be gone.

The Navy knows the Roger Pirates' defensive character very well and has suffered many losses because of this.

Moreover, he hated the auction house so much that even if the person who had just been kidnapped was not her but an ordinary civilian, he would not hesitate to follow up and rescue her when he saw this scene.

There was a very chaotic noise not far away - it must have been the group of scumbags who discovered that the ruined auction house was searching for the escaped "sales items"!

Long thought sarcastically.

"But why...are you trying to save me?" He is obviously a marine, so why do you want to save her as a pirate? Vivian didn't understand.

"..." Long was silent for a while. He felt that there was no need to answer this question, because whether to save or not had nothing to do with her identity. But when he saw the other party's eyes, he realized that if he didn't answer well, the other party would He would probably be reluctant to give in. Thinking of the few times he met the other party, Long had no choice but to speak.

"Do you need a reason to save people?"

After leaving these words, Long turned around and wanted to leave. If someone discovered what he had caused here and brought this matter to the old man, the old man would definitely be able to use this matter to "train" him. .

"Hey! Wait, you can't leave!" Seeing that the other party was about to leave, how could Vivian let him go so easily? She was quite curious about the navy, and the other party's honest attitude made her feel that she could bully her at will, so she was The doting temperament made her a little bold.

Seeing that the other party ignored her, Vivian was anxious and jumped, trying to jump on the other party's back to make the other party stop. But what she didn't expect was that when she heard the unyielding voice behind her and thought of the other party's past behavior, Long felt that if she didn't intimidate the other party, he would probably be unable to escape temporarily.

So he turned around, and as soon as he turned around, he felt a huge object hit his chest.

dragon:"………"

"It hurts!" Is the other party's body made of stone? !

Due to the opponent's turn, Vivian, who had not expected this, did not stop the car at all. She hit the car with a bang. This also meant that she did not have time to grasp the point of stress. She exclaimed and felt He was about to fall to the ground, so he hurriedly grabbed the other person's collar.

Long didn't expect this situation. Because the incident happened so suddenly, he didn't take any precautions. However, when he saw that the other party was about to fall, he subconsciously helped him, but he didn't expect that the other party actually grabbed his collar.

So, with a cry of surprise, both of them fell to the ground. Of course, Long was completely the victim, because he was completely implicated by Vivian.

At this time, the position of the two of them was that of a woman on the bottom and a man on top. It should be that Vivian's back was in close contact with the ground. Because her collar was pinched tightly by her, her whole body was pressed against the other's body. In addition, she fell. Before he fell down, he subconsciously supported her, causing him to wrap his arms around Vivian.

The two people who came back to their senses looked at each other.

At the same time, a strong aroma of wine suddenly emanated from Vivian's pocket. The two were stunned and looked at her pocket at the same time. Vivian realized what it was and quickly opened the pocket: "Ah! I The wine!! Broken... Broken?!!"

When she thought that the wine she had happily spent all her pocket money to buy for Mr. Reilly had been shattered by her reckless actions, Vivian felt a sense of grievance and self-blame. Emotions bubbled up quickly.

Seeing the other person's tears, Long thought he had hurt the other person. Just as he was about to get up and apologize, a gloomy, violent voice full of anger sounded from behind him.

"What are you doing to Vivian?!!!"
