[One Piece Fan] I am more human than human

Ariel instantly remembered why she had behaved in front of Doflamingo and why it attracted his attention. Crossing his hands in front of him, he replied like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to hide. I am indeed not a mermaid, I am a sea monster."

Seeing Ariel's reaction, Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with Ariel. This is not a crime. I just hope that Ariel will pay attention to protecting herself when she is alone outside in the future. Although sea monsters are not common in the sea, it is not a simple matter. race"

"But why? Why is the Kraken not simple?"

"Well, I heard about it. Of course, that was before I met you. I had only heard about the existence of this race, but I had never actually seen it."

"When I saw you, I thought you were a mermaid. Although mermaids today can move around on land, they need to use walking aids."

"I was just confused at first, but I didn't expect you really were."

Ariel was shocked now. It turned out that she had blown herself up.

"You don't have to be afraid. Fortunately, you met me. How should I put it? After knowing such shocking news, even though I won't tell it, I can protect you as long as you stay by my side."

When Ariel heard what he said, she raised her head and looked at him. She noticed the seriousness in his eyes and suddenly felt warm inside. Kuzan is such a warm man. After meeting Doflamingo that time, Ariel I felt that I really needed to learn some skills, so I made a profound decision.

"I will pay attention to it in the future!"

"It's just... I'm thinking about what to do in the future? I'm not familiar with this place. I can't even figure out my identity."

As he said this, Ariel looked at Kuzan, with some tears gradually coming out of her eyes, Zhuang seemed very pitiful.

"So can you take me in for a while? I'll be very, very good."

"Ah, but I... have no experience in taking care of people!" Kuzan said stiffly.

"I am very independent and don't need anyone to take care of me."

Ariel's eyes are filled with the words "please please"

"..."

Kuzan couldn't stand Ariel's cute big eyes, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible to send her away once he found out where her home was, so he said helplessly

"Okay, okay, but first, let's make sure you don't expose yourself like you did today."

"There are other theories about the Kraken, but I don't know about them."

"I see"

After Ariel finished speaking, she gave Kuzan a military salute.

In the next few days, Ariel learned some common sense about the world from Kuzan and Shirin, which made her sigh that all the decisions she had made before were right. Kuzan was not only a navy but also a general, which could help Ellie. You solve many identity problems.

But after Ariel followed Kuzan back to the Navy Headquarters to report, because of Ariel’s outstanding appearance, everyone in the Navy Headquarters knew that General Aokiji had brought back a beautiful mermaid child from the sea. Since Kuzan knew about Ariel Not only did Er have problems with his life experience, but he also lost his memory, but he had to admit that it was better to keep Ariel's identity a secret, so he could only help Ariel find a home in private.

Externally, he only claimed to have picked up an orphan with amnesia. Since there was currently no suitable family situation, he took care of it, but he did not expect that Ariel's appearance would attract so many people's attention.

Every day after that, people would come to Kuzan under various excuses just to see Ariel.

Ariel followed Kuzan to the place where he lived in the headquarters. Looking at this neat big house, she sat in the living room a little uneasily. Kuzan sent her here and asked her to stay by herself for a while before reporting to the headquarters. . After the meeting, a hearty laugh came from the door, "Wahahahahahahahaha."

A man walked in, wearing a dog-head hat whose face could not be seen clearly, and wearing a cape with justice written on it. The man walked in and said

"Let me see what specialties that Kuzan guy brought back?"

Ariel looked at the person who strode in with his chest out. The person who could enter Kuzan's room so directly must be someone with a good relationship. He couldn't help but stand up and politely bowed and said "Hello"

When the man came in, he took off his hat and revealed his true face. His temples were white, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were prominent, and his nasolabial folds were visible when he laughed. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an older, middle-aged man. Judging from his figure, It's nothing like the sound.

"You don't have to salute me, just do whatever you want."

Then the old man sat across from Ariel, looked at Ariel carefully and then stared at his face in shock, then touched his chin and looked Ariel up and down again.

Ariel couldn't help but feel nervous when someone stared at her like this, so she started the topic and introduced herself to the old man.

"Hello, my name is Ariel."

When Ariel was still thinking about what to say, she found that no one responded to her. When she looked back, she found that the old man had fallen asleep with his hands folded on his chest and his head raised with nose bubbles. Ariel was very shocked. This man You can fall asleep like this!

After a while, the bubble on the old man's nose burst, he touched his head and woke up and said

"Oops, I forgot what I was going to say?"

Ariel fell down, what on earth is this? But after a while, the man said to Ariel seriously while inserting his nose.

"You...are probably not a mermaid."

Ariel was even more shocked now. Why did two people see her problem in the past few days? Although she said that she was a siren and felt that there was nothing wrong with her, it seemed that there were only a handful of sirens in this world. Ah, Ariel asked in horror.

"How did you figure it out at a glance? That's amazing! It couldn't have been Kuzan who told you."

The old man waved his hand, but couldn't help but glance up, smiling and saying proudly

"Wow, hahahaha, it's not as powerful as you said."

Ariel was amused by this scene and asked

"What shall I call you?"

"Just call me Garp. Seeing that you are so young, you can call me grandpa." The man said, and then added

"By the way, do you want to be a navy? Seeing that you look good, I can make you the most powerful female navy!"

Ariel opened her eyes wide and said in surprise

"Can I be in the Navy?"

"Of course," Karp replied.

"But I don't have human-like legs." Ariel said sadly.

"How come you don't have legs? Your mother can conjure legs, so how come you don't have legs!"

Garp replied while picking his nose.

Ariel was so shocked that she jumped up, grabbed Garp's collar and asked

"You have met my mother. Where is she? Why do I have no memory at all?"

"No memory at all? Have you lost your memory?"

Garp said more horrified than Ariel

Ariel calmed down and replied

"Yes, I woke up in a place I didn't recognize a few days ago, and I don't remember anything after that."

"No wonder you have always maintained the form of a snake's tail."

"Then Grandpa, how should I change my legs?" Ariel asked quickly

Garp picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "I don't know."

Ariel was angry, "Then after talking for so long, you don't know anything!"

"When I met your mother, she had human legs." Karp said

"How do you know that is my mother? Who knows if she is human? Maybe this tail is inherited from my father." Ariel deliberately choked back and said,

"I know your father is a real bastard human being, and your mother is a sea monster who is neither human nor fish!" Garp replied even louder.

"So you only took me where my home is?" Ariel was a little happy to trick out what Garp said.

But Garp was silent for a while, his face turned red and green, he was fooled, and suddenly his expression became very serious again and he stared at Ariel and said

"You don't want to go back. Your mother finally sent you out of that place, so she doesn't want you to go back."

Ariel was a little confused, "Then where should I go? Why can't I remember?"

Garp looked at Ariel's appearance and said with a little pity.

"Why don't you become a navy?"

Ariel glanced at Garp and said, "But I don't have legs, and you don't even know what to do."

Garp laughed and said, "So what if you don't have legs? Can't you walk with your tail?"

Ariel lowered her eyes and asked, "Wouldn't it be strange for me to look like this? How do people outside view the Siren?"

After waiting for a while, Ariel raised her head and glanced at Garp. Garp had already fallen asleep with a bubble in his nose.

Ariel got angry and shouted, "Can't you listen to me carefully for once!"

When Kuzan came back, he saw such a headache-inducing scene.

"Ah, have we already started talking? Senior, what a headache."

When Ariel saw Kuzan coming, she immediately looked at Kuzan aggrievedly and said

"Kuzan, look at Grandpa Garp, why is he like this?"

"Ah la la la, there's nothing we can do about it, right? It's Capusan after all." Kuzan replied helplessly.

Afterwards, Garp really came to ask for the specialties, and left with the specialties he wanted. He told Kuzan that they could be turned into legs, but he didn't know how yet.

Kuzan said thoughtfully, "Since there is a way, it may be an innate ability. It mainly depends on yourself."

At night, Ariel lay on the bed she had dreamed of. Although she had already slept on the boat, it could not compare to the softness of home. She looked at the temporarily tidied room and sighed with emotion over the past few days. experience, and also think about the principle of taking things as they come.

When she was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed, there was a sudden vibration in the pocket of her clothes. Ariel quickly fumbled for it. It was the box that Doflamingo had given her earlier. The phone inside was ringing, but Ariel didn't dare to answer it. , I felt a little guilty. I had promised to go to Mermaid Island but ended up at the navy headquarters. I hesitated for a long time whether to answer the call. Thinking of the possibility of meeting in the future and the possibility of retaliation, Ariel quickly answered the call and said "Hello" , a familiar voice came from the other side

"Fufufu, it turns out you are still alive, little devil!"

Ariel felt bad and quickly asked innocently

"What's the matter? Master Doflamingo."

The phone bug imitated the man's expression vividly, with veins popping out on his forehead. As if he didn't expect Ariel to be able to pretend to be innocent, he said

"I thought you were just joking when you said you wanted to join the family. Someone told me that you actually followed the navy to the navy headquarters. Was it because you were afraid of my revenge and you deliberately found a backer? Fufufu."

Ariel quickly expressed her stance

"How could it be? I just had some minor problems on the way there."

Doflamingo felt better after hearing this and asked with some curiosity.

"Oh~ come and listen"

Ariel said half-truthfully,

"On the way back, I was attacked by the navy admiral, and then I lost consciousness and was taken back to the navy headquarters."

Doflamingo frowned when he heard the word "Navy" and asked, "Who?"

Ariel naturally knew who he was referring to, so she had no choice but to say Kuzan's name.

Doflamingo smiled and said

"Fufufufu, are you lucky or unlucky? You just happened to be picked up by Qing Pheasant who was on a mission."

When he mentioned the word "mission", Ariel felt that there was something in his words, but Ariel was still sweating a little. She didn't know if he had noticed something. He was really a dangerous man.

Doflamingo's style changed, "Forget it, it doesn't matter where you are, we will meet again soon anyway, little Ellie, fufufufu." With a click, the phone hung up.

Ariel had to take a breath, it was really difficult to deal with such a person, and she really saved a trouble.

After living here for a few days, I learned that Kuzan lived near the family members of the serving and retired navy. They all knew that Kuzan had a cute little girl in his family, and they would pass by here from time to time. Come to deliver some snacks and visit their little girl.

Ariel had the same dream several nights. In the darkness, someone seemed to be calling her from a distance.

"Ariel"

"Hey~, who is it? Who is calling me?"

"Ariel, promise me not to come back, okay? Just listen to your mother, Ariel."

"What, are you my mother? Why?"

It was as if someone gently touched Ariel's forehead and said, "Our Ariel must live happily, and don't be resentful."

Ariel still had a lot of questions, so she woke up. What does it mean not to go back? Where should you not go back? Ariel had a headache just thinking about it. Why couldn't she remember the past? But after calming down, Ariel thought about the information brought by this incredible dream, and decided to tell Garp, but where should she go to find him, the navy headquarters?

But she had never been to the headquarters, so Ariel could only think of Kuzan, thinking that Kuzan would be back in the evening, so she waited for several days in a row, but there was no sign of Kuzan coming back. Could it be that he was too busy at work? Well, I planned to go out to find Kuzan, but I had to go out as a "mermaid" when I went out, so I found a walker, got on it and went out.

Ariel walked and walked. Although she was still learning the words of this world, she still knew a little bit about it. If she didn’t understand, just ask the nearby residents. Many people on the road were very happy to see Ariel going out. Today Ariel had her hair tied up in a ponytail and her curly hair was slightly messy. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a yellow smiley face printed on it. Although it was a little bit visible, it could still be seen below. The tail, clothes exposed two delicate arms like lotus roots, the brows were frowned, the mouth was pouted, and the cheeks were bulging, as if there were worries, but what worries could a child have? This scene made many passers-by laugh.

Ariel walked around and finally stopped at the entrance of the headquarters. There were two soldiers guarding there. They looked like no one was allowed to enter. It seemed that the entrance was there, Ariel. He ran to one of the soldiers, timidly pulled the soldier's trousers, looked up at him and said

"Hello, big brother"

The soldier looked down and saw that it was a cute little girl, eh. . No, it's a little mermaid, a mermaid! How could this be a mermaid! The soldier bent down and put his hands on his knees and lowered his head and asked.

"What's the matter, little sister?"

"Well, I want to find Kuzan. Can you tell me where he is?"

"Hey! General Qing Pheasant!"

"Uh, no, Grandpa Garp is fine, no, it's better to be Grandpa Garp."

"Card!...Hero Garp!"

"What's wrong, can't I go in and find them?"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!" The soldier hurriedly waved his hands and explained, looking at Ariel's big hazy eyes, blushing a little and making people nosebleed, but he was not committing a crime! As he spoke, the soldier looked at Ai carefully.
