Traveler in the Pirate World

"Why?" Chris Stokes asked calmly after being surprised. In fact, he had probably guessed something, but that might not be correct.

Arubi and Sirubi, who were originally on guard with their muscles tensed, also quietly relaxed. If the other party was not here to cause trouble, that would be the best thing. After all, even the Kerry family was unwilling to face a behemoth like the Avisus Group.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself!" The girl and the people behind her saluted respectfully and said in unison, "Avisus Group. Seawater Conversion Department. Alabasta Kingdom Branch. Rapeseed Flower First Branch. Recruitment Department formally submits a recruitment application to you."

"I'm the head of the Recruitment Department, Merojan!" the girl said calmly, "In fact, since the establishment of the Seawater Conversion Base, the Recruitment Department has been conducting personnel inspections in Alabasta. Most of our employees have been approved by the Recruitment Department before they were authorized to work.

Of course, compared to ordinary people with simple interpersonal relationships, it is more troublesome to examine a noble family like you, so we need to come here!"

Mellojan's personal arrival was not a special treatment for the Kree family, one of the highest nobles in Alabasta, but simply because ordinary recruiters might not be able to deal with the rare deep-minded people in such aristocratic families.

"So, you recruited me because of the Kerry family?" Stokes raised his eyebrows slightly, looking unhappy. "I'm really sorry, I'm not a popular character in the Kerry family!"

"No!" Merojian's tone was still calm, but he clearly expressed his displeasure, "The only person we value is you!

The recruitment of the Avisus Group is a unified assessment for all classes. Compared with civilians, the probability of nobles passing the assessment is terribly low. King Cobra, Princess Vivi and you Stokes are among the few nobles in this country who have passed the assessment. "

Hearing what Merojan said, Stokes and everyone present were extremely surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty King Cobra and Princess Vivi are both members of the Avisus Group?"

"No!" Merojan was not embarrassed by such words, but said casually, "After all, I am a monarch, and I will not tie myself to a force that I don't understand. The same is true for Princess Weiwei, the only heir to the kingdom.

This is nothing. It is normal for recruiters to examine recruits and for recruitment invitations to be rejected. This is a two-sided choice, but we chose you first. "

"To make private investigations of others seem so justified, is this the style of the Aviss Group? I admire it!" Stokes clapped his hands in praise, with a teasing look in his eyes.

"No, this is my style!" Merojan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if any bad words about Avisus would make her unhappy. "I don't believe in what people say on the surface. The mask of disguise is what most people are used to. Only the truth that is revealed inadvertently is the answer I want."

"So, you still haven't told me why you chose me?" Stokes adjusted his glasses, a smile on his handsome face, which made the little girl following behind Merojan blush. She lowered her head and dared not look at him. He was really handsome.

He looked at the little thing in front of him with interest. It really seemed like a little girl pretending to be an adult. It was very interesting.

Yes, little thing! Merojan is a black-haired little girl who is only about 1.4 meters tall. When she is serious, a pair of waist-level ponytails swing behind her head. The loose work clothes make her look even more petite, and her ruby-like eyes are full of seriousness.

"Kerry Stokes, the eldest son of the Kerry family, a noble family in the rainy land of the Alabasta Kingdom, was a straight-forward person when he was young. He was dissatisfied with the noble style and often clashed with his family and other nobles. He was rejected by the nobles, stripped of his heir status by his family, and demoted to White Rock Town, which was under the jurisdiction of the Kerry family.

After experiencing some ups and downs in life, you restrained the youthful chivalry of your youth and slowly became what you are now, but fortunately, your original intention remained unchanged.

You will replace the pure water that has been withheld by high-ranking nobles with muddy water that is enough to feed the entire Baishi Town. Even the sand bandits who rob people on the road will shake their heads at such a thing.

The reason why they released the news to the outside world was that they wanted to use more cheap water in exchange for more profits. As a result, there was a rumor in the market that there was a stupid noble who actually used his own guards to escort some muddy water of extremely low value.

You took the opportunity to reveal your cargo information, and also told others that this caravan was not easy to mess with, so that the sand bandits would consider the cost of robbery. This made your caravan smooth sailing, and you supplied it to the civilians of Baishi Town at twice the price, confirming the fact that you are a fool, and provided the townspeople with the work of repairing your courtyard in exchange for compensation. You are very smart, Mr. Stokes!"

"Thank you for the compliment, little girl Melo Jane!" Chris Stokes had a smile on his face, his short burgundy hair was blown across his forehead by the wind, making him look very gentle.

"Has anyone ever told you that your personality is really unlikable, Mr. Stokes?" Melo Jane was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She hated being called a little girl. Her height was her eternal pain. Melo Jane was obviously an adult, so why did she grow in everything except height?

"Not before, but now. You are the first one to tell me this, so I should remember it very clearly. After all, even a down-and-out noble like me is liked by many people, isn't it?" The handsome middle-aged man shrugged helplessly.

"Don't change the subject, let's get back to business, Mr. Stokes!" Merojan frowned, her ponytails trembling with anger. What a nasty guy.

"I'm just talking about business. In fact, I'm very curious why a little girl like you would be the head of the recruitment department of a branch of the Avisus Group. You are not even an adult yet!" Stokes continued his boring behavior. The other party was too young, and he could not quite understand the Avisus Group's arrangements for management personnel.

However, he didn't know that trying to anger Merojan was a very unlucky thing. The last person who wanted to take advantage of Merojan's character weakness and get more information was called Cobra. That day, he and his guards had a close contact with the earth.

Blue flames mixed with white tail flames rose from Merojan's body. Two cat ears grew between her ponytails. Two tails made entirely of flames swayed behind her. Her pair of ruby-like eyes became more gorgeous and bloodthirsty.

The commander of the Dhaka base once said that if you cannot reason with someone, you should use your fists to teach him what reason is. The bastard in front of him was talking nonsense and it was obvious that he wanted to be punched.

Stokes's eyes suddenly became serious after seeing all this. A Devil Fruit user? Was it because of his strength?

Arubi and Sirubi also instantly became extremely alert, as it seemed that the other party was about to take action.

The boys and girls behind Merojian couldn't help but hold their foreheads, the boss was going to beat someone up again. Yes, again! This was not the second time Merojian did this. For those who like to take advantage of her weaknesses to get her to talk or negotiate, Merojian would do it without hesitation!

Daker, who was lying on the wall, was frightened by the sudden change and fell off the wall. He fell on the stone road and was in pain for a while.

Tina, who was standing on the wall, was more surprised than anyone else present. "Mythical Beast Species. Nekomata Fruit?"

The sudden exclamation startled the people in the courtyard. Two tails of dark blue flames instantly swept across the wall. "Who is it?"

The shield made of black sills blocked the attack tightly. The power transmitted from it made Tina grit her teeth. She was surprised and smiled awkwardly: "Tina, you didn't mean to eavesdrop...? Well, you did!"

Then she felt something was wrong and tilted her head to think about it, looking so dazed that Lily couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her.

The moment she saw Tina clearly, Mellojan subconsciously looked in Lily's direction, with joy and excitement in her eyes that she couldn't hide, but she quickly suppressed it and said coldly, "Since when did the captain of the Navy Headquarters develop the habit of eavesdropping?"

"Isn't this just curiosity?" Tina laughed, completely unaware of embarrassment.

"Hmph!" Mellojan turned his head away angrily, not looking at Tina, but made a barely audible gurgling sound, with his tails sticking up high and a small curl at the tip. He looked a little happy? !
