Seeing Arthur's pitiful expression, Dou Ya wanted to slap him. He had thought that it was just a problem with the slave ship. He didn't expect that there would be a Demon Fruit. It seemed like he was in big trouble this time! "Sigh, you little bastard, it seems that we have a big grudge with the Donquisher family.”
"Ah, ah, Master, don't worry. You said just now that they don't know it's us, so there's no need to be afraid!”Arthur tried to comfort him when he heard Dou Ya's weak tone. "Hehe, you're thinking too simply. What I said was based on the fact that the grudge between us wasn't that big. But you have to know! This time, you robbed the Donquikode Family of a Demon Fruit. Even the most ordinary Demon Fruit costs 100 million Bailey!”
"100 million Bailey? Hehe, not much! You see, I found a lot of treasures in the captain's cabin just now. It looks like there are about hundreds of millions of them. According to Master, shouldn't the Donjikode family be chasing after us now?”Arthur replied indignantly. Fighting Teeth almost laughed when he saw Arthur's reaction. Although he knew that Arthur had no concept of money, he did not expect the difference to be so big.
"You idiot! Hundreds of millions of Bailey? Do you know what a few hundred million Bailey is? Not to mention hundreds of millions of Bailey, even 100 million Bailey was not enough for this ship to hold! Even if it was replaced with gemstones, it could fill up one-third of the ship!! Do you understand?"
"What? Damn it! " Hehe, alright, alright. You've already eaten it anyway. Even if I kill you, it's impossible to get the fruit back. Let nature take its course.”Dou Ya was quite open-minded. After all, he was very confident in himself. Although the Tanguicard family was somewhat famous in the North Sea, if he wanted to hide, it would not be a problem. Even if he could not hide, he was confident that he could still fight!
"Hehehe ~~!" Arthur could only smile awkwardly, but he was still very touched because he could feel Fighting Tooth's protective feelings for him. If the Don Quikard Family were to come knocking on his door right now, Dou Ya would definitely protect him. Therefore, Arthur once again made up his mind to become stronger! "Then the next step is to bring this group of people to a safe place.”
"Yes, I think so too! After all, when I saw how they were treated previously, I also hoped that they could live a good life!”Although Arthur was not a soft-hearted person, he had to find a way to help. After all, he might not have many opportunities to do good deeds in the future.
"How about this? I see that everyone has rested enough. I'll gather everyone and ask for their opinions.”Arthur said. "Mm, that's good too!" Fighting Teeth agreed with the suggestion, so Arthur immediately walked to the rest of the crew.
The sun was about to set, and it was almost 3 pm. After a busy night, everyone relaxed and rested. There were only a few young men who volunteered to sail the ship. They had left the sea area where they had stayed before and no longer had to worry about being chased by the enemy. Just as they were about to take a break, Arthur walked towards them. "Everyone! Please come over for a moment. I have something to tell you!”"What? It's my little benefactor! What's the matter?"
"Hah! Yes! What's wrong?" Soon, everyone came to Arthur and looked at him. "Ah, it's like this. I want to ask everyone. Now that you're all saved, what are your plans?”After Arthur asked this question, the people on the ship began to cry.
"Hello? What happened to you guys? Why are you crying when you're going home? Aren't you happy?" Arthur was a little confused when he saw these people crying. Dou Ya sighed and said,"Sigh, they probably don't have a home anymore!"”"Wuwuwuwu ~!!!" After Dou Ya finished speaking, the people around him cried even harder.
One of them stopped crying and said. "That's right. We've long been homeless. Ever since we became slaves, we lost everything, including our families. "Yes!" We already have nothing left!!! Wuwuwu ~"
"Shut up! Bastard!" A loud shout instantly stopped everyone from crying. Everyone looked at Arthur in a daze. It was Arthur who had shouted just now. "Do you guys only know how to cry? If that was the case, why didn't he die with his beloved family? Instead, he would rather become a slave and live on?？”
Faced with Arthur's question, these people were speechless for a moment. Some people even thought silently," Yes! Why didn't I die with my family back then! What's the point of me living such a lowly life!!!”
"Don't be silly! You guys! Do you still not understand? The meaning of life?" Arthur looked at them and continued," People only have one life! Even if you lose your family, your life, your property, and everything! However, as long as he was still alive, he could survive anything, right? You have experienced the despair of being slaves. Now that you are free, shouldn't you cherish this hard-won hope? I think even your family members in heaven would want you to live a better life! And not just crying like now! Wake up! You've already started a new life! Look forward! Idiot!"
Arthur, who had been shouting, was also in tears. He suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life who had left him in a car accident. At that time, Arthur almost thought that he had been abandoned by the world, but he still survived. It was sad to lose a loved one, but as long as there was hope, one had to look forward.
"Sigh, this really surprised me! She didn't expect Arthur to have such a sentimental side. I didn't know before. Did I care too little about him? " Hehe…" Fighting Teeth was also affected by Arthur's words. He gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes." Yes! People always have to look forward. Don't you think so, Father?”Thinking of his father's dying words, Dou Ya finally understood why his father had asked him to escape." Perhaps you wanted to tell me this at the beginning!”
After that, things became much simpler. The big guys who were convinced by Arthur smiled again and expressed that they were willing to accept a new life. In the end, everyone decided to find a suitable island to rebuild their village. Fortunately, there were men and women among the dozens of people, and they were all young and young. Even if they came to an uninhabited island, they would not be unable to reproduce.
"Yes! I understand. In that case, I know a place where you can settle down.”Dou Ya suddenly said. "It's on a small island not far away, called Tuva Island.”"Eh? Tuva? Are you talking about that island?”"Why do you know?" As he was speaking, a man beside Dou Ya suddenly spoke. "Yes, I've heard of it. I suggest that we don't go to that island!”The man looked scared, which immediately piqued Arthur's curiosity. "What's wrong? Why?"
"It's like this. Actually, my hometown isn't too far from that island. If I take a boat, I can reach there in a day. Originally, there was a village there. When we usually went out to sea to fish, we would go there to rest and replenish our supplies. At the same time, we would also hand over some items to the villagers on the island. Then, one day, when we went to that island, the people of that village disappeared for some reason!”
"What is it? All disappeared? How could this be? Even if they went out, they wouldn't all go, right?”"Hmm? From the looks of it, something must have happened! When I went there five years ago, the village was still very prosperous.”Dou Ya asked in confusion. "What a pity. Back then, I was still indebted to the village chief!”
"That's why I said! Why did everyone there disappear?”Arthur asked. "What? Even if you ask me, I don't know! I only know that when we went up to the island to resupply, we realized that there was no one there. We also heard the roars of wild beasts. It was too terrifying, so we didn't stay for long before we immediately boarded the ship and returned.”Arthur was a little disappointed after hearing that. Sometimes, being overly curious was really annoying.
"Cough cough, then forget about this island. I'll find another place.”Seeing that everyone on the ship was a little scared, Dou Ya told them to go somewhere else. "Anyway, let's set the route first and find a place with people!”
