I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

The wind is calm and the sun is beautiful, with no clouds in the sky.

Joel blew the sea breeze on the deck of the warship for a while and then walked back to the room. If his judgment was correct, he would arrive at the Yag Islands within the next few days.

This group of Marines is indeed doing a good job, rather than being passive and slacking off.

However, I am afraid that in order to get rid of themselves as soon as possible, they want to reach the Yag Islands as soon as possible.

Perhaps it is because of the generation gap spanning a century that this group of young people cannot have much in common with themselves.

When he thought of this, Joel opened the door and walked in with some emotion.

What came into view was Baby-5, who was squatting in front of a chair with his back to the door, seemingly doing something.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly turned around in fright, looked at the door with a pale face, and put her hands behind her back without showing anyone else.

"What are you doing?" Joel looked at the maid curiously.

"No...not doing anything." She said covertly.

"Really?"

Joel raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm really not doing anything..."

Baby-5 stood up with a guilty conscience. Before she could say anything, she almost stumbled and fell.

And her swinging arms were clearly exposed in front of Joel.

But that's not the point. The point is that a strange creature is hanging on her right arm.

"this is……"

Joel couldn't help but be slightly startled, it was a leech that was almost as big as a 500ml bottle of Coke... leech.

"Are you so pessimistic that you have given up hope in life?"

He walked towards the maid who seemed to be losing her footing due to excessive blood loss.

Five hundred milliliters of blood is almost one-tenth of the total blood volume of an adult. Taking out so much blood at one time is enough to endanger life.

"I'm not that pessimistic."

baby-5 pouted, "It's just because it needs my help, that's why I do this."

Joel said: "Need your help?"

"Of course, you won't understand..."

Baby-5 looked at the leech lying on his arm sucking blood, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"I have lived alone in the wild since I was very young.

For a very long time, no one was willing to accept me. Even wild beasts would dislike me for being too thin and unwilling to eat me.

But this creature needs me, they want to be with me, they are my...friends. "

Scenes from the past seemed to flash through her eyes.

That's not a good memory,

But often what can be remembered for a lifetime happens to be suffering.

Joel picked up the leech, and in Baby-5's stunned eyes, the blood flames swayed in his hand. In the next moment, the scorching flames burned out the life of the creature.

Not even the skin was left.

"Well, I really still hate this kind of creature. Blood-sucking can only be a vampire's patent."

He patted the thin layer of ashes on his hand and said, "By the way, what were you talking about just now?"

The maid was stunned for a second, then turned into fangs and said:

"Are you a devil? I have said so much, but you haven't listened to a single word. Do you want to see what you have done?"

Looking at her friend floating in the air with the wind, she swore with tears in her eyes that she now hated the man in front of her.

"Can such a thing be called a friend?"

Joel brushed off the dust on his sleeves leisurely, "Although I have no say in this aspect, a relationship that only involves demands and no return means that the two parties can only be masters and slaves, not friends. .”

"Stop coming, I won't listen to what you say. A cold and heartless bastard like you must not even have a friend!"

baby-5 said a little angrily.

"Friends..."

Joel was silent for a moment, and a memory fragment from the past suddenly flooded into his mind.

…

"Your Highness Joel."

The maid, whose body was covered with dust and grass clippings, held the boy who was also dusty tightly, and carefully squeezed through the crowd.

"Don't tell Director Ori when you go back that I took you to sneak out through the dog hole in the city wall. The last time I brought you an iced Coke, I was punished to wash dishes in the kitchen for three whole days."

"Don't worry, Yianna, I won't betray my friends."

The innocent boy rolled up his sleeves and showed off the slightly bulging muscles on his arms, "And my illness has been cured. Look, I'm getting stronger now!"

The maid couldn't help but chuckle, and after a while she looked at the young man beside her curiously, "Your Highness Joel, is that fruit really so magical? It can even cure your disease."

The young man chuckled and said, "After all, it is a Devil Fruit. It is said that it contains the power of demons. Not to mention such trivial matters as curing diseases, some Devil Fruit can also bring the dead back to life."

The maid touched the young man's forehead, curled her lips and said in disbelief: "Are there any other sequelae of that serious illness? Your Highness, you are talking nonsense again. How can someone come back from the dead?"

"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't believe it! But it doesn't matter anymore!"

Instead, the young man took the maid's hand and walked forward faster, happily saying,

"Now I have mastered a new Devil Fruit ability. Hehe, let's go and see the new partner who signed a 'contract' with me!"

…

"Huh?"

Originally he just wanted to be tough, but seeing Joel's thoughtful expression, Baby-5 suddenly raised his eyebrows and showed a cheeky smile.

"I know that a guy like you can't have friends. At this point, I'm much better than you, hahaha!"

After so many days, she finally found an opportunity to ridicule the bastard man in front of her who was not understanding at all.

It’s really...so enjoyable! !

Joel slowly came back to his senses and raised his eyes that were calm again.

There was no refutation of baby-5’s words.

He just suddenly stretched out his right hand, held the opponent's chin, and met the opponent's somewhat panicked gaze, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey...wait, you, you, you...!"

Baby-5 stumbled at the other party's sudden move, and quickly looked away, not daring to look at each other, feeling like a deer in his heart.

What does he want to do?

Why are we getting closer and closer? Oh my god, he seems to have a strange smell... No, now is not the time to think about such things!

Could it be that he was so angry that he wanted to shut my mouth?

etc……

Doesn't that mean that my first kiss will be taken away...

Thinking of this, baby-5's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, and his breathing became a little quick.

"Did you just say that I have no friends?"

"So, so what!"

Feeling the rush of male hormones, baby-5, who had never experienced such a big scene before, showed a determined expression as if he was waiting for death, "No matter what you do to me... I will never give in to you!"

Even so, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Joel slowly approached baby-5's red cheek and breathed an unusually cold breath into the latter's ear:

"You're right, I...have no friends."

The sound was very soft, so soft that Baby-5 could just barely hear it.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses again, the other party had already silently left her side, leaving only a quiet and gloomy back.

Why is there an indescribable sadness?

What kind of past does he have...

baby-5 stared blankly.
