The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Go in, you'll sleep here tonight."

Following Mary all the way down, the strong man walked to the dark cell that Ren Wenyue had broken into before, walked to a cell, and opened the door.

"There is only one person crammed in here. Your injury is quite serious, so I won't let you squeeze in with others. Go in, and I will bring you a piece of cloth to cover yourself later."

The strong man said as he pushed Mary into the cell. Mary couldn't stand and sat down on the ground, and the sound of the cell closing was heard behind her.

The strong man closed the door and locked it, then immediately walked out of the room and closed the door.

"..."

Mary moved closer and closer to the cell, and she came across a cold and hard body.

"...Haha, a child actually came this time?"

"!" Mary immediately turned her head, and in the darkness, there was barely the outline of a man's face.

"……Hello."

Mary said hello politely.

"Oh, it's actually a girl?"

"What, girl? Let me see, let me see."

"Hahaha, this little girl is quite polite."

As soon as Mary opened her mouth, there was a commotion in the whole cell.

There seemed to be no women in this ship of slaves, all of them were men. Suddenly hearing a girl's voice naturally made everyone excited.

"Well, this ship has been floating on the sea for a long time, right? I can feel it on the ship."

The man in the same cell as Mary was a steady man and did not make any noise like the others. He asked calmly:

"Kid, how did you get here?"

"I got on this ship myself."

Mary answered seriously.

Then, she added: "I also slept up here, so I didn't come here to live until now."

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After a brief silence in the cell, a burst of laughter erupted.

"What the hell..."

"A prisoner who came in on his own? Little girl, you really opened my eyes."

"happy."

"Hahaha……"

Even the man in the same cell as Mary smiled and patted his thigh: "Are there any unlucky guys like you, or talents like you, in the sea?"

"What did you think? You went to sleep on someone else's ship, but you ended up on a slave ship."

"Because...I want to avoid some people..."

Mary shook her head weakly.

Even now she knows that she probably did something wrong.

The uncle shook his head and said with a smile:

"Hahaha...forget it."

"Little girl, tell us what your name is."

"My name is..."

Mary subconsciously wanted to say her name [Livingston Vinicius Palace], but then she remembered what Mihawk said before:

[If there is no one else around you to protect you, it is best not to tell others your real name. This is better for everyone.]

There is no one else around to protect you...

Mary looked around, probably no one was protecting her.

Therefore, the words that had just reached her throat were swallowed back by her.

But it’s not good if you don’t answer. Then think of another name.

In the Palace of Vinicius, the four words Vinicius were given to her by her parents, and Mary did not want to change them. And she was from Mariegio...

Let’s just say Marigio Vinicius? It feels weird to put the place where you live in your name...

Then just take half of it.

"Mary Vinicius."

Mary looked up at her uncle: "My name is Mary Vinicius."

"..."

Ren Wenyue looked at Mary, whose eyes were very serious, and took a deep breath.

This is a historic moment for him.

The name Mary Vinicius finally appeared for the first time.

"Oh, Mary Vinicius." The uncle nodded and said, "It's more convenient to call you little Mary."

"My name is Leonard Stuart, you can just call me Stuart."

"Okay uncle."

Mary nodded seriously.

"Hey, Miss Mary, my name is Harvey Dyson."

"My name is Marie D. Coveron."

"My name is..."

"..."

Then a bunch of people announced their names one after another, and the young Mary suddenly felt dizzy.

A large amount of information that needed to be memorized entered her mind at once, making Mary feel dizzy.

"Okay, okay, let's plan how to send this little girl out."

Stuart clapped his hands and greeted everyone.

"Should we send her out like the little boy before?"

"It's not impossible."

"Can!"

The crowd gathered to respond.

"Huh? What do these people mean?"

Ren Wenyue frowned.

Mary also asked curiously: "Uncle...what do you mean by sending me away?"

"Of course I will help you escape from the ship."

Stuart grinned and said: "Kid, your life has just begun. It would be too miserable to become a slave like this."

"A little boy named Tut was captured on this ship before you, and we finally sent him away."

"That method can be used by all children, so in theory we can also send you away."

"Well, we've already sent one away anyway, so there's nothing to think about sending away the second one."

Since slaves usually chatted and laughed very noisily, the slave traders not only occasionally came down to curse and stop making noise, but also greatly enhanced the sound insulation effect on the ground floor.

Therefore, even if these slaves talk so loudly, the people above can only hear a little buzz at most.

While everyone was talking enthusiastically, Mary suddenly asked silently:

"Why do you want me to leave here?"

"..."

"I would like to ask why you ask this question."

Stuart shook his head and smiled: "If you can leave a place like the slave ship, you must leave. In fact, if we could find a way for adults like us to leave, we would have escaped long ago. Who would want to stay in this miserable place?

?”

"Kid, you don't think such a terrible place is worth staying, do you? The slave ship... is a hellish place."

As soon as he said this, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and everyone around him fell silent.

At this time, Ren Wenyue noticed that although the laughter just now made these slaves look so energetic, in fact, only a few people had the energy to laugh.

Most of the slaves didn't even have the strength to speak. They just lay on the ground and occasionally laughed.

"A hell-like place...is it scary? Hell is indeed a terrible place..."

Mary thought to herself: "But if this hellish place can have good people like you who are willing to help others escape from hell, I don't think this is a bad situation."

"..."

"You're a little guy who's not even taller than my waist, but you can talk a lot about great things."

Stuart smiled bitterly and leaned against the wall behind him.

"Kid, do you really think we are good people?"

"Isn't it?"

Mary quietly opened her eyes.

"Of course not."

Stuart snorted coldly: "I am the boss of a team of bounty hunters in the East China Sea. I can do anything for money."

"I may have more human blood on my hands than these slave traders."

"I am the captain of a pirate ship in the North Sea, *Beihai slang*, if I hadn't been drugged, would I have been caught by these people!?"

A fierce man on the side cursed.

"I am a peace officer in Xihai, and I have many lives in my hands."

"I'm a bounty hunter on the Grand Line, working at Whiskey Peak... Hehe, it seems you all know what I mean."

"I'm a pirate from the North Sea. That big brother just now, which ship are you on?"

The entire cabin was suddenly filled with people, and Ren Wenyue also had an eye-opening experience.

There are quite a few slaves on this ship, a lot of desperadoes.

Many of them are wanted by the navy... Who is this slave trader from? He has quite a lot of energy.

"You heard that, little Mary." Stuart curled his lips and said, "There are not many fuel-efficient lamps among our group."

"But you are good people."

Mary said stubbornly: "[You are a kind person who saves people from hell when you are in hell]. That's what my mother said."

"That's not kindness in the broad sense... Forget it, little Mary, you just need to remember that we are not helping you because of kindness."

"Indeed." The pirate ship captain from before nodded and said, "If you really think about it, I will die a thousand and eight hundred times anyway."

"Kid, those who do good things are not necessarily good people, and those who do bad things are not necessarily bad guys, do you understand?"

Stuart shook his head and said: "We are just unhappy with these slave traders, and we don't want to see a child become a slave."

"Remember little Mary, whether you will become a good person or a bad guy in the future, it is your own choice, not someone else forcing you to be like that. You still have a long life, and you should not be forced to be shaped like this by others."

"It's because of this that I sent you and the little guy named Tut out of the ship, not because of any kindness."

"Free men of the sea, even if they cannot be free themselves, they must fight for the freedom of others. This is our purpose."

"……I see."

I don’t know whether Mary understood it or not, but she nodded in vague understanding.

Then, she asked a breathtaking question.

"But once I leave here...where will I go?"

"……ha?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this question.

"Of course it goes where it came from."

"But, I don't remember which island I got on the boat from..." Mary said a little embarrassed, "The uncles on the boat were not willing to take me back..."

This is a fact. Jinbei never said the name of the island, and Mary never asked about it.

"It's not where you got on the ship from..." Stuart said, dumbfounded, "Don't you know where your family lives? Just go home."

"I know where my family lives, but..."

Mary said with a bit of embarrassment, "Someone was chasing me at my home, and Ivan sent me out of the house and told me..."

"Don't go back..."

"..."

Several people licking blood from the knife edge looked at each other, and then their expressions became serious.

"...You said before that you ran to this ship to hide from others. Are you hiding from those...who are chasing you?"

"Yes."

Mary nodded.

Ren Wenyue immediately heard the man who called himself the North Sea Pirate Captain whisper: "He is being chased."

Others are basically aware of this situation.

For a while, the cabin fell silent again.

In the end, it was Stuart who broke the silence first.

"I see, are you homeless? In that case, little girl, after you get out, if you have a chance, you can find Donghai, join my team of bounty hunters [dark], and then find a man named Raven

people."

"Just take this thing, show it to Raven, and then tell him to let him take care of you."

Stuart said, groping around his waist and taking out a triangular medal.

"Ha, of course, if you fail to find Donghai, you can smash this thing and sell it for money. After all, it is made of gold."

Stuart said half-jokingly.

"I see."

Mary nodded obediently.

Then Stuart thrust the medal into Mary's hands.

"Well, it's a good thing Tut isn't as unlucky as you, otherwise I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to use this thing now."

Stuart shrugged.

"Hey, little guy."

At this time, a strong man who had been silent for a long time also said: "I'll give you this gadget, maybe you can exchange it for some money."

After that, the strong man threw a diamond over.

"Well, I have some too."

"I gave mine to Tut before, well, I'm sorry, little girl."

"I have some here too."

"Here, here, I'll probably have to be searched anyway, so I might as well forget it for you."

"Brothers, please don't lose everything. What if there are some kid on board in the future?"

"Yes, whatever is not sent out by then will be thrown into the sea!"

"You have so many bad ideas!"

"..."

Soon, a small pile of various items gathered in front of Mary.

Mary did not refuse, but collected these things in front of herself very preciously.

"I didn't expect that you still have a lot of inventory."

Stuart laughed, then looked at Mary:

"You seem quite surprised?"

"Um……"

Mary nodded and said:

"Mom once told me..."

"Everything in this world has a price, but..."

People have helped me along the way, and I didn’t have to pay anything.

Mary did not say this.

Stuart shook his head.

"Little Mary, the sea is very vast."

"On this sea, anything can happen, and there are all kinds of people."

“Don’t believe in [everything] or [everything].”

"Look, you didn't get any price at all. Did you just get these things?"

"certainly……"

Stuart chuckled and said: "If you think what your mother said is right, then you understand it like this-"

"Isn't it enough to get these things in exchange for being caught on a slave ship?"

"I seem to understand..."

When Mary heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she raised her head to look at the ceiling.

She remembered that she was being chased, so Ivan took her away.

I did something bad, so I was beaten.

I am usually very kind, that's why I was saved by Mihawk.

Coupled with the current matter, all of this can be explained in one sentence.

"These are all retributions."

"...What are you talking about, you little brat?"

Stuart slapped his head suddenly, feeling a little speechless.

"all in all--"

"Little Mary, put these things away."

"In a few days, we will find an opportunity to send you out of this hellish place."

"Before that, don't tell the people on the deck about this, do you understand?"

"Understood."
