The pirate group of the noble young master swept the area and slowly arrived at the West Ocean. After arriving at the West Ocean, they had not seen a single merchant ship for more than two months. This made the pirates, who were eager to earn more money and then rest on shore, extremely disappointed. Han was unable to adapt to life on the sea without smoke.
Unknowingly, I had also become more belligerent, Han said with a self-deprecating smile.
Han suddenly saw the pirates gathered around the first mate. Most of them had expressions of horror and shock.
"What happened?" Han approached the crowd and casually pulled a pirate who was standing on the periphery.
"Too scary, too scary." The pirate was obviously frightened. He did not answer Han's question but repeated the sentence with a dull gaze.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed first mate saw Han's arrival, so he waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted,""Han, come and take a look. The news today is too shocking.”
Han walked to the first mate through the passage that the pirates had made way for him. He took the newspaper and flipped open the headline.
" The destruction of Ohara in the Land of Demons."
Han's heart tightened. Nicole and Robin, it had already come to this. Han continued to read the newspaper calmly. Ohara, disregarding the safety of the world, violated the government's ban, and forcefully researched the technology to resurrect the ancient demons in an attempt to destroy the world. Now, the navy's CP9 commander, Spangdai, has launched the Demon Slayer Order to erase Ohara from the world. This is a warning to those organizations and individuals who attempt to disrupt world peace. Our government will definitely not sit idly by. All enemies of peace, enemies of the people, are enemies of our government…
Seeing this, Han did not continue reading. Instead, he flipped open the arrest warrant. Sure enough, Nicole Robin had a bounty of 75 million Bailey.
The first mate leaned over and stared at the photo on the bounty notice. He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully,""The son of a demon? Isn't this a little exaggerated? He's just a broken child, how can he be so powerful?”
As if sensing Han's unfriendly gaze, the first mate hurriedly changed his words."Of course, geniuses like our Han can't be described with common sense.”As he spoke, he pretended to ask the pirates around him,"Don't you think so?"
Too lazy to watch the chief officer's antics, Han picked up the newspaper and walked to the captain's cabin. As he walked, he said,""You too."
The first mate looked around and pointed at himself.""Me?"
Han nodded impatiently. The pirates 'laughter came from the surroundings. The first mate stood up straight and pretended to shout at the pirates in a dignified manner,"What are you looking at? Hurry up and do your own work.”Then, he strode over to Han and said seriously,""How can we not report such a big matter to the captain? Second mate, let's go.”
Han looked at the chief officer's change with a black face. He didn't say anything and followed him into the captain's cabin.
Seven days later, in a small town in the West Ocean.
Han, the first mate, and a few pirates were on their way to the town's tavern. After receiving the news, the captain changed his plan. He anchored in the small town and waited for the wind to blow over while collecting information. Therefore, the first mate seized the opportunity and brought the pirates to eat and drink in the tavern every day. Han couldn't stand it anymore and volunteered to go with them. In Han's eyes, if he relied on these guys to gather information, then they might not know anything until the warship arrived at his doorstep.
In the tavern, Han held a glass of fruit juice and frowned at the first mate who was hanging on his body and emitting a strong smell of alcohol. The first mate burped and said in a muffled voice,"" Han, let me tell you…wine is…a good thing. Burp, you, don't drink it. Burp, it's a pity…the men on the sea want to drink it…"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tavern. Through the window, he could see a large group of villagers gathered together, as if they were searching for something. Han hurriedly stood up and shook off the first mate. He instructed a pirate who was still relatively sober,"I'll go out and take a look. You're in charge of bringing these drunkards back. I'll pay the bill later.”After saying that, he rushed out of the tavern.
He asked a random villager and found out that Nicole Robin had appeared not long ago. From the angry tone of the villagers, Han felt a strong greed. Han became impatient and stopped asking. Han, who knew Robin's background, was unwilling to see these ugly humans anymore. He was afraid that he could not help but kill.
As for Robin, Han had been thinking about how to help her when he read the newspaper a few days ago. The idea of pulling her onto the ship was first eliminated because Han was not sure if the captain would take her in. Moreover, according to the comics in his previous life, the navy was still searching for Robin very closely during this period. Once the navy found out that Robin was in the Pirates, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After thinking about it, Han couldn't find a suitable solution. In addition, Han didn't want to ruin the development of the plot, so he subconsciously ignored this matter. He didn't plan to deliberately look for Robin. Anyway, she could appear on Luffy's ship alive. He did not expect to hear news of Robin in this town.
While he was thinking, Han did not stop. After a few jumps, Han jumped onto the top of the tallest building in the town and looked down at the whole town. For Robin, everyone in the town was in action. There were residents searching everywhere in the town. The whole town was in chaos and the atmosphere was foul. Han frowned and searched patiently. Since he had encountered it, he would help. Han thought to himself.
Eh, that's…Han saw a figure moving in the alley not far from his feet. He found it. Before jumping down, Han scanned the distribution of the town and found a group of villagers chasing in this direction. Without hesitation, Han jumped down and arrived beside the figure in the blink of an eye. It was her, Nicole Robin.
Xiao Ni panicked. She didn't know what she had done wrong. Why did the amiable old lady suddenly gather a group of vicious people to capture her? She had finally escaped, but now she was being searched by the entire town. Could she not escape? Mom, Uncle Sauro, I'm scared." Nicole curled up her body, suppressed her voice, and began to cry softly.
"Are you alright?" Suddenly, Nicole heard a gentle voice coming from beside her. She hurriedly turned around and saw a figure that was not tall reaching out to her. The light behind the dark alley, was it God? Am I going to die? Mother sent a god to welcome me. In a trance, little Nicole saw her mother with tears in her eyes. She stood at the entrance of the alley and smiled as she nodded gently.
After all, he was still a child. Han looked at the unconscious Robin with a heavy heart and thought, This kind of suffering is not something a seven or eight-year-old child can bear.
Gently picking up Robin, Han began to run, avoiding all the villagers. Han came to a cave that he had discovered earlier outside the town. Han had found this cave a few days ago when he was bored and wandering around. It was very hidden. At that time, out of some unknown consideration, Han had equipped this cave with some simple daily necessities, which came in handy at this moment.
Putting down Robin and covering her with a blanket, Han turned around and began to prepare dinner.
"May I ask who you are?" While Han Zheng was busy, a weak voice came from behind him.
Han turned around with a harmless smile on his face. He said to Nicole,"You're finally awake. Haha, don't be nervous. You're safe for now. As for me, you can call me Han."
After saying that, he scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Robin."You must be hungry. Try it. I haven't cooked in a long time. I hope my skills haven't deteriorated.”
Nicole stared at Han with her eyes wide open. She then carefully took the bowl and thought for a moment before saying,"Thank you for saving me."
"Eat slowly. Be careful, it's hot." Han looked at little Nicole wolfing down the food and his heart ached."Don't worry, I've made quite a lot."
After watching little Nicole finish eating, Han said,"If you're tired, rest for a while. I'll be on guard.”With that, Han walked out of the cave and stood on a small mound. He looked at the town. The scenery was beautiful, but Han's heart was still heavy.
The sky gradually darkened. Han got up and returned to the cave. Nicole had already woken up. She curled up in a corner and stared at the cave entrance. When she saw that it was Han who came in, her body relaxed.
Han walked in front of little Nicole and took out a money bag from his back. He squatted down and handed the money bag to Robin."There's some money here. It's not much, but if you save it, you can spend a lot of time. "And…" Han looked at the cave and continued,""This place is still considered well-hidden, and there's plenty of food and drinks here. You should rest here for a few days.”Han lowered his head. 'I'm sorry, I can only help you this much,' Han said silently in his heart.
"Brother Han, are you leaving?" Nicole took the money bag and looked at the kind big brother in front of her. She felt a warmth that she had not felt for a long time after the Ohara incident.
Touching Nicole's head, Han said softly,"I'm not your companion, Nicole. I don't have enough strength and courage to protect you, but you have to believe that the sea is infinite. If you keep walking, sooner or later, you will meet those true companions who can protect you at the risk of their lives. Before that, Nicole, everything depends on you. You have to work hard and not give up hope.”
After saying that, Han endured the pain in his heart and ignored Nicole's cries. He ran out of the cave and ran straight to the town, not giving himself the slightest chance to turn back. Han only stopped when he reached the town. In front of the bustling lights, Nicole's helpless expression was still etched in Han's mind, deeply hurting his heart. His face was a little wet. Han raised his hand to wipe it. Water? Tears, am I crying? Han was at a loss. In the end, he was still too weak. After standing for a long time, Han wiped his tears and walked to the port with firm steps. He seemed to have forgotten something, Han thought as he walked.
In the tavern, the first mate turned over and scratched his head. He was sleeping soundly and completely ignored the owner, who had a livid expression on his face.
