One Piece: I Want to Sign

In the past few days, pirates have been "patronizing" the gem ship. After all, the ship is so gorgeous, there must be more valuable things inside. Some even have the idea of ​​​​scraping a few gems on the ship and taking them away, but these pirates All the thieves were wiped out by Guisili. Strangely enough, Eluseri had never killed anyone except a very wealthy lady on the first day he came to the ship. And those pirates, Guisili is responsible for everything, while Eluseri brainwashes the children all day long with some "knowledge" that slaves must learn.

In any case, Tianan has seen a lot of people coming to rob him these days, but he has never found anyone who came to save the children, including Garp. This is not good news. It makes Anxin frustrated for a long time, and finally he is exposed. He cheered up again with Si's comfort.

Ruth was a girl who was captured as a slave like Ann. Her family was not rich, and she had seven brothers and sisters. A family of 7 people needed to eat. Ruth’s mother could only make a living by mending clothes. Her father even She has no job and is a gangster. The only money Ruth’s mother earned was squandered by her father. Her father often abused her, even her brothers and sisters in the family. He didn’t know why he especially hated Ruth. , I wanted to sell Ruth for a long time, but Ruth’s mother kept stopping me. But luckily, except for my father, my brothers and sisters were very good to me. Until a few days ago, Ruth’s mother became ill. It was her father who took advantage of the loophole, so it was her father who sold her here personally. Ann even didn't believe there was such a father in the world, but it was true, and Ruth hated her father very much.

The strange thing is that Ruth and An look very similar, with short, lotus root pink hair of the same color as An's orange-pink color; big dark brown eyes, which are even more similar to Ann's reddish brown; even their personalities are similar. , one is a little princess held in the palm of her brother's hand, the other is a cute little loli who hangs out with her brothers and sisters; one learns the six postures because she wants to become stronger, and the other is because she has been under the stick of her father since she was a child. He has gained a lot of experience in fighting and escaping through his escape, and even he has a negative attitude towards his father. Ruth even felt that Ann was in the same family as hers, because her brothers and sisters looked nothing like her. And Ruth has a shortcoming, she can't take a bath. According to her, she seems to have a headache when she takes a bath, and various joints in her body will hurt non-stop, so she usually just takes a quick shower.

The most amazing thing is that Ruth, like An, is wary of the ship, Eluseri and Guisili, but compared to An's extreme vigilance, at least she doesn't treat those two people coldly. None of this escaped the eyes of Guisili and Eluses, and they also designated Ruth as a key area of ​​surveillance.

Once, Ann and Ruth washed their hair and returned to the dormitory with disheveled hair. The other children couldn't tell who they were. Sometimes, even Ann herself couldn't tell them apart, so in order to make it easier to distinguish them, The two agreed that from now on, An would only wear a ponytail, and Ruth would only have short hair hanging down her shoulders. Little did they know that this habit of combing their hair could not be changed even later, no matter what hardships they experienced, or even - death.

"You can already see the red continent, Ann."

Ruth looked at the scenery in the window and greeted An, but there was no trace of excitement in her voice, instead it was terrifyingly deep.

"Oh."

Ann is also not interested. She has been discussing the escape plan with Ruth recently and came up with 7 or 8 plans, but nothing has been achieved. There is no chance of implementation under the surveillance of Eluseri. In the past few days, I have been fighting pirates and rarely been in the cabin. If Eluseri is alone, I can increase the chances of my escape plan. This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

But it was different now. They were almost at Mariejoia. Looking at the towering red continent, they were not sure whether they could escape. Even if they escaped, where could they go? Ann and Ruth had to give up for now.

Having arrived at the foot of the Red Earth Continent, Gui Si saluted out of the hatch, showed the slave marks on his back to the guards, took the two slave collars provided by the guards, took one himself, and gave it back to Elu. Seri got on, but it was different from the abandonment of the ship in the comics. Maybe it was because there were too many people. The gem ship they were on was placed on an elevator and began to rise to the top of the Red Earth Continent. , this operation amazed An, and she shouted in her heart:

[Can the slave mark be used as a passport? 】

But before she could sigh, the elevator had already reached the top of the Red Earth Continent, where she could clearly see the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons - Marie Joa.

As soon as the elevator stopped, you got off the ship. Just when An didn't understand what Tai was going to do, he just heard a "boom" and he picked up the big gem ship with one hand and walked steadily towards the edge of Marigio. A small house.

Guisili and Eluseri led these children into the hut, and those who tried to escape were killed mercilessly. As soon as everyone entered the hut, they were shocked by the scenery inside. The cabin looked pretty from the outside, and the overall color matched Mary Joa's, but inside, it was a filthy scene.

At least that's what Ann thinks now.

Iron cages stained with blood stood in front of them, and inside the iron cages were all kinds of human beings. Oh no, some were not even human beings. But despite their different races and appearances, their faces There was fear everywhere. There were a few strong men with irons in their hands, grabbing a few slender girls and unceremoniously lifting their skirts, branding them with indelible shame for the rest of their lives.

The children ran away screaming, trying to rush out of the hut, even Ann and Ruth were no exception, but without exception they were all caught by an eagle, which was an eagle covered in pitch black. A pair of dark eyes seemed to be two holes that could never be filled, staring straight at the children and driving them into the cage, while Guisili and Eluseri looked on expressionlessly. Watching all this, but if you observe these two people carefully, you will find that they are actually trembling slightly.

The children were put on collars, and those in the front were branded, while those who resisted were swallowed by the eagles. An was extremely scared. She had never experienced such a terrible thing. Even killing someone would not be more terrifying than swallowing a person alive. What's more, this kind of thing happened right next to her, and she could even hear it clearly. The sound of an eagle chewing the child's bones

Soon they arrived at An, and she was dragged in by those big men. They held the branding iron tightly in their hands and were ready to brand An. An's eyes showed unprecedented fear, and right there When the branding iron was about to be branded on An's body, she heard a "drink" and saw the man holding the branding iron in his hand being kicked down by Ruth with all his strength. Before An could react, he was dragged by Ruth. After leaving the hut, Ruth was slapped by another big man, and she staggered a little. Just as the eagle was about to chase them, she saw fire bursting into the sky outside.

Ann suddenly thought of something and shouted excitedly to Ruth: "We are saved!" She also kept leading Ruth to use "shaving" to escape, but the annoying collar jingled. Of course Ann understood what this meant. , the excitement on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by endless panic. Just when the collar was about to explode, there was a click, and the collars around Ann and Ruth's necks fell to the ground. In the vast fire, the two figures appeared. appeared, and the slender one among them opened his mouth:

"I'm sorry, kids, for coming to save you so late."
