I opened an orphanage in Pirates

Crook was obviously a little cautious. He looked at the group photo on the corridor wall, and he was a little dazed. Looking at the smiles of the children in the photo, Crook fell into deep thought. It turned out that if he chose to go with her, it would be Such a life.

Crook still hoped that his parents would come to him before he was 14 years old, but obviously, this was impossible. After waiting for so many years, Crook still decided to leave the orphanage and make money by himself, of course , Occasionally, he would still hope that there would be news from the orphanage that someone was looking for him.

But obviously unlikely.

Crook quickly realized that this was his own choice.

It's just that, now, it's a little empty, because the motivation that has supported him for the past few years is to come to Elbaf to meet the other party, and now that he has met, what should he do now?

Going back to Alabas to wait for the illusory parents?

Now that his only goal has been achieved, what's next?

Crook didn't know, he thought maybe if he could...

"Aren't these kids cute?"

Carter came over at this time.

Crook nodded:

"really."

"By the way, I'm going outside to water. Do you want to go for a walk together?"

"Ok."

Katril and Crook came to the garden.

Helen was in the shade with Blake, and Helen was teaching Blake how to turn the rope.

The two were very focused and didn't notice that there was an extra person beside Katriel.

Crook looked at the two people under the shade and asked curiously:

"These two children too?"

Carterell followed Crook's gaze and said:

"Of course, the girl is Helen, and the boy is Bletch. They are very quiet children."

Carterell simply led Crook for a brief stroll in this small garden.

Crook found that there didn't seem to be many children in this garden:

"Aren't the children in the orphanage at home very often?"

"That's not true, it's just because they are familiar with the nearby forest, and the beasts in the forest pose no threat to them."

"I saw two children riding a giant wolf on the way here."

"Oh, Zang Na and Isol? Their two children are just more energetic."

Crook had a strange expression on his face:

"What I want to ask is, are these children so tough?"

Carterrell said:

"Because this is Elbaf, the folk customs of the giant tribe are strong, so the children are not ordinary people. After playing with the children of the warrior village for a long time, the children will follow the Romans, and I will teach them a lot. The children have some self-preservation ability, after all, if they want to live a normal life in Elbaf, they have to integrate into them."

Crook was right in thinking that to be able to open an orphanage in Elbaf, one must have the ability to survive here.

However, Crook thought back to the biggest girl just now, the girl who looked thinner, could it actually be able to fight against the wild beasts in the forest?

Well, Crook couldn't imagine that.

"By the way, Crook, the children said that you floated here by yourself. Your luck is really good."

Crook took out the permanent pointer from his pocket:

"It was sent to me by a person I met a few years ago, and I followed this pointer to find this place."

Katriel showed a clear expression, as if he remembered something:

"That's right, but you can actually choose a large ship, which is safer."

"I looked for some ships before, but there was a little accident, so I just figured out a way to come here."

"That's amazing too, thank you for your hard work."

Crook shook his head.

Then, in the evening, Crook had a meal with everyone at Sunshine House.

Crook also knows how many children there are in this orphanage.

Everyone seems to be very relaxed, at least it can be seen that they are living here very happily.

Crook wanted to complain, this is not an orphanage.

It was very different from the orphanage he lived in back then.

How dare this kind of thing be called an orphanage.

Crook didn't know why, but the hand holding the chopsticks was a little heavier.

Seeing the delicious food on the table, what Crook saw was the food from the former orphanage.

Crook didn't know why, but had a strong emotion.

This is not an orphanage at all.

This is just a normal person's home with a lot of children.

Crook felt that the delicious food in his mouth was tasteless.

Carterell asked:

"Crook, is it because you're not used to eating, how about I make something you often eat?"

Crook quickly waved his hand:

"It's okay, it's delicious."

In the evening, Crook was taken to a single room by Carterel again. The layout here was very simple, but it also slightly disgusted Crook.

Crook knew how he felt, but he had to face it.

Crook was lying on the bed, which made him a little uncomfortable.

It's not that he doesn't like it here, it's just that it's different than he thought.

Crook felt that he couldn't sleep tonight, so he opened the window and jumped down from the second floor, walked slowly to the small garden and sat down by himself.

He knows why he feels so uncomfortable now, and he doesn't want to be like this.

His mood fluctuated a little now, and the ground under his feet began to desert.

Crook quickly controlled it. After thinking about it, he decided to go for a walk in the forest outside. At least there, he could let himself go a little bit.

Every time Crook took a step, the surrounding land became wasteland, the plants withered directly, and the land began to dry up.

He seemed to feel something at this time, he raised his hand suddenly, and after a while, there was an animal groaning not far away. Crook walked over and saw a small wild animal struggling continuously in the sand pool.

Crook sat nearby, silently watching the beast sink into despair and be swallowed up by the sand.

There didn't seem to be any reaction in his eyes.

This is a habit that Crook can't change until now.

Since possessing a devil fruit, his desire in this aspect seems to have been magnified, because with strength, he can be more unscrupulous.

Crook was sitting, as if he was just relaxing. It was extremely quiet here, and it was completely impossible to see that a beast had just been buried alive in the sand.

After sitting for a long time, he still didn't get the answer he wanted, that is whether to obey his innermost desire or restrain it.

To be honest, Crook felt that it would be troublesome if he continued to stay here, and the atmosphere here in Katril was not suitable for him.

Crook seemed to have figured it out, so he went back to the room, packed up his things, put his treasure on the table, left a note, and left Elbaf that night.

When Katriel knocked on the door the next day and entered, he saw the note and the treasure.

Carter just sighed.

This child, after all, has only met her once. Katriel just feels that maybe she is not suitable to face those children, because she doesn't know the real them. They are not Katriel watching them grow up. It wouldn't have much impact on them, and Katriel is not qualified to say anything to such a child.
