Abducted a pirate hunter

A ship docked at the port, with a pirate flag flying on the ship. It parked generously because there was no naval base on the island.

The islanders at the port looked in their direction warily. Although pirate ships often docked to buy supplies, occasionally there would be pirates who just robbed without paying. This island does not have a navy, but because it is on the shipping route On the ship, they still have the ability to protect themselves. If they judge that there are cruel pirates on this ship, they will take action. If it is just normal supplies, they don't mind if they are pirates.

"A storm is coming, let's stay here for a few days before leaving?" the navigator on the ship suggested.

"That's fine, there's no rush anyway." Shanks nodded in agreement without hesitation, and told everyone to prepare to stop the ship.

Lloyd was pulling the spear when he looked up and saw a man in a panic asking the fishermen at the port one by one.

When he got closer, Lloyd shouted to him: "Uncle, what happened?"

The man saw him talking to him and glanced at their ship. He looked a little scared, but he gritted his teeth and walked over and asked, "Did you just dock?"

"Yeah, because the storm is coming, we plan to stay for a few days." Lloyd answered him with a smile.

Hearing that a storm was coming, the man's face became even more ugly. He looked into the distance. He didn't go to sea and didn't know navigation skills. Of course, he couldn't tell that a storm was coming, but the man in front of him was obviously an experienced pirate. , he did not doubt what the other party said.

Shanks noticed what was going on here, walked over slowly, smiled and talked to the man: "Uncle, is there any good wine here?"

The man ignored his question and asked them anxiously: "Did you see a little girl going to sea when you came?"

"We didn't see anyone else when we came. Why, has my daughter run away from home?" Lloyd joked with a smile. Even if it weren't for this kind of weather, ordinary people wouldn't go out to sea alone. Lloyd didn't feel that way. The little girl the other party mentioned really ran away to the sea.

"No, she's a little girl who lives in my shop." The man explained hurriedly: "She came to collect medicine. I told her that there is a flower on the head of the Neptune species that only appears when there is a storm. She was a companion flower used in medicine, but she disappeared. She must have gone to find the snake king, but that snake king is really dangerous!"

Shanks' face darkened as he thought of something while he was listening, and asked him, "What does that little girl look like?"

"She's very good-looking, with silver hair!" the man described, "and she's always wearing a black cloak!"

Several people on the deck who heard the man's words turned around instantly. Lloyd's smile disappeared and he looked at Shanks worriedly: "Boss, could it be..."

"Ah." Shanks responded affirmatively and asked the man, "Which direction is the Snake King?"

The man immediately pointed it out to him and said uncertainly: "But she didn't borrow the boat to go to sea. I don't know if she went to sea."

"I think he flew over by himself." Beckman, who knew how Sylphis moved, walked to the side of the ship and said in a voice that the man could not hear: "Nine times out of ten, he passed."

"Well, Beckman, you and the others wait here while I go find the little girl." Shanks jumped off the boat and walked towards the man: "Uncle, do you have a boat you can lend me?"

"Let me lend you my boat!"

The fisherman who had just been questioned by the man stood beside his boat and shouted: "Hier has helped me treat my leg injuries all year round. If something happens, I must bring her back safely!"

"I can, by the way..." Shanks suddenly asked curiously: "You drank Xiao... Hill's potion, she didn't ask you for money?"

Knowing her name accidentally, I wonder if she will be angry. Shanks, who changed his mind immediately, touched his nose and thought helplessly.

The fisherman thought of Sylphis's expression at that time, and he couldn't help but laugh: "My wife is very good at craftsmanship, so she paid off her debt by eating for three days."

It seems that we really know each other, otherwise how would we know about Sylphis' usual style of delivering potions?

The fishermen who were still a little worried suddenly lost their worries.

The tavern owner watched Shanks get on the fishing boat alone. He turned to look at the unmoved pirates on the pirate ship. He was stunned and ran forward in a hurry: "Wait! You want to go by yourself?! "Are you sending food to the Snake King? !

"I am enough alone." Shanks pushed up the straw hat that covered his eyes and said with a smile, "Just wait until I bring her back!"

"You, do you really know Hill?" The tavern owner was a little stunned, mainly because he didn't expect a girl like Hillface to be related to a pirate, but how could a pirate take risks to save a strange girl?

"Ah, we are friends." Shanks responded.

Sylphis looked at the person who caught him in surprise, and the moving spell he was reciting was interrupted.

Why is he here?

Shanks put his arm around Sylphis and paddled hard with his other hand to bring the two of them to the surface. After surfacing, Sylphis saw a fishing boat swaying in the waves not far away.

Shanks struggled to paddle with one hand and swam towards the fishing boat in the rough waves. Sylvester glanced at him hesitantly and raised his hand to wave his broom.

"Grab it." Sylvestre put his hands around Shanks' neck and hugged him tightly, fearing that his voice would be drowned out by the sound of the waves, he leaned into his ear and told him.

Shanks looked up and saw the broom above him, stretched out his hand to hold it, and Sylphis commanded the broom to fly up with his fingers, directly taking the two of them out of the sea and towards the fishing boat.

Shanks let go of his hand after landing, and Sylphis also let go and stepped away, catching the broom that flew back to her hand.

"Are you okay?" Shanks asked anxiously. As soon as he came, he saw the scene of Sylvester being slapped away by the snake's tail. He was so frightened that he thought he was going to die, but she didn't look like anything was wrong now. .

Sylphis, who was not injured, looked at him with confusion and shook his head: "I'm fine, why are you here?"

Shanks was about to speak, but the Snake King had already discovered them and was about to continue attacking. Shanks quickly launched the fishing boat: "Let's get out of here first!"

But ordinary fishing boats cannot easily leave the Snake King's territory. Silphis, who was standing aside with a broom in hand, looked at Shanks with a serious face, then looked at the angry Snake King, appraised the size of the fishing boat, and frowned. Re-recite the movement spell silently.

After the last sentence fell, the two of them and the fishing boat had left the Snake King's territory. Shanks was stunned for a moment and looked towards Sylvester.

Sylphis lowered the brim of his hat and said, "I originally planned to use this trick to leave. It won't hurt me."

She was already confident that she would escape unscathed, and there was no way she would really come here to die.

She rarely uses moving magic because it consumes a lot of magic power, and the moving distance is not far. It can only be used to escape. Originally, she only needed to use the magic power to move her alone, but now she has to move the fishing boat and Shanks. Hope Alpheus felt that his magic power was about to be drained instantly.

Shanks touched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "Am I in the way?"

Sylvester wanted to nod, but looking at Shanks' embarrassed appearance, she smiled and shook her head: "No, thank you for coming to save me."

Shanks looked at her and said with a serious expression: "But your sudden running behavior scared the uncle who told you about it."

"Ah." Sylvester said guiltily, "I saw the storm was coming soon, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up, so I forgot to tell them. I will apologize when I get back."

Only then did Sylphis realize that Shanks had met the tavern owner and learned his information and name from him.

"Speaking of which." Shanks suddenly approached her and said with a smile, "Is this the second time we meet?"

Sylvester's smile froze, and the promise to exchange names with him when they met again was still fresh in his mind.

Can you not remember it vividly?

That was only half a month ago!

"Are you following me secretly?" Sylphis pursed her lips, desperately not wanting to tell him her name. Although he already knew it, Sylphis just didn't want to fulfill the agreement.

nonsense! The guy in front of me had a bounty of ten figures, so I was crazy to tell him that I was the bounty hunter Sylphis.

Sylvester really misunderstood Shanks.

In fact, their routes were all in the same direction. If Sylphis, who was alone and walked relatively quickly, stayed in one place for a little longer, he would have a high chance of meeting them.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me." Shanks didn't seem to care, and then grinned as Sylvester breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I won't help you get the accompanying flowers either."

Sylphis immediately raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes: "Can you get it?"

"Of course, I have encountered stronger sea kings. A mere snake is nothing." Shanks said confidently. He didn't do anything just now because he was afraid of hurting Sylphys and the fishing boat. He didn't know Sylphys Si's self-preservation ability is so high that he just wants to take her away first. Besides, the boat belongs to someone else, so it's hard for him to damage it. After all, it is someone else's tool for making money.

Hearing Shanks' words, Sylphis thought the same thing. Can a ten-digit pirate be afraid of a snake?

Definitely not!

"Okay, my name is Hill!" Sylvester said two words reservedly. There were so many people with the same name, and she didn't believe that two words could reveal her identity.

Fortunately, the name she told the town residents was just Hill. Listening to the word "Hill" Shanks shouted earlier, you knew that he didn't know his real name either.

"As promised, you have to help me get the accompanying flowers." Sylphis asked him to fulfill his promise excitedly.

"Haha!" Shanks smiled even brighter. He patted the ship's fence and laughed loudly: "I never said I'd go get the companion flowers for you as soon as I know the name!"

Sylphis was stunned for a moment, and his mind, which usually didn't think much about things other than potions, turned around. He realized that Shanks had indeed not agreed to this, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.

From the look on her face, Shanks guessed what was going on. As expected, the people that Sylphis had done business with in person were all ordinary people except for the auction house, which had a good reputation. She didn't treat them at all. It was a very bad idea, thinking that paying money and delivering the goods is a common thing, and I have never been deceived by anyone.

She has always been here with the idea that you are good to me and I am good to you. Although she is wary, if she is classified as a trustworthy person from the beginning, she will no longer doubt it. The other party’s malice.

I don't know which noble's daughter she is, but she still has such naive thoughts in this kind of world, and her family really dares to let her out.

Family member Red Flame Witch: No, I don’t dare.

Sylphis, who realized that she had been deceived by Shanks, also knew where she had made a mistake. She stared at Shanks in disbelief with her round eyes, as if she really didn't expect you to be such a person.

"You, I..." Sylphis was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't say a single curse word for a long time. She snorted and before Shanks could catch her, she sat on the broom and flew away quickly, leaving her curse words in the air. Curses.

"You are really annoying!"
