The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

Three days later, at the port of Xiangbodi, a rather mini warship docked, attracting the attention of others.

"I've never seen a warship of this size... Does anyone know where it comes from?"

A tourist on the shore turned sideways and asked the owner of the shop next to him.

The boss raised his head slightly and said:

"I don't know. I've never seen a warship of this size before. It's the first time I've seen it in so many years."

After putting them on, Ai Xi and Du Si Qi poked their heads out from the railing and looked towards the Chambord Islands.

"Eh~ So beautiful."

Dasqi looked at the bubbles floating on the Shampoo Islands in surprise. The colorful bubbles were deeply loved by the little girl.

"Yes, these trees and bubbles are so strange."

Ai Xi couldn't help but open her mouth.

Both of them grew up in the East China Sea and have never seen such a scene.

"Haha, this is the only way to enter the new world, and it is also the playground for the Celestial Dragons."

Enxia walked out with Paul. One of these two was a navy of the Grand Line, and the other was a bounty hunter of the Grand Line. They knew much more about Chambord Land than Ashe and Dusky.

While the two of them were spreading knowledge about Shampoo with Dasqi and others, in the cabin, Coleman was talking to a woman on the phone bug.

"...Well, I'm back. Yes, it's...a holiday, right?"

"Yeah, okay, I'll go find you in two days."

"Okay, you didn't move, did you? Okay, that's it."

With a click, Kuhlman hung up the phone.

When he walked out of the room, he happened to bump into Mary, who had just finished taking a shower and was walking in the corridor in a towel.

Due to Mary's strong request, Zefa specially left a huge bathtub for bathing when designing the ship, which was enough to accommodate four girls lying in it at the same time.

Although on the whole ship, it seems that only Mary has the habit of taking a bath. Others are quite disgusted by being immersed in water for a long time. Enxia and Coleman even don't understand why Mary can endure that as they are both Devil Fruit users.

A feeling of powerlessness.

Of course, that's not the issue now.

"..." Kuhlman raised his eyelids slightly, "Ahem, pay attention to your image."

When Mary heard this, she smiled with a smile on her face.

"A middle-aged guy still cares about a young girl?"

"If you have a daughter, she won't be a few years younger than me, right?"

Coleman held his forehead with a headache.

Of course he would not be so embarrassed, he has this bit of willpower. The most important thing is that after a period of close interaction, Kuhlman discovered that although Mary is a girl, her behavior style is no different from that of a man.

There was even a situation where she pushed the door open and walked in quite naturally while Paul was still in the bathroom, scaring the entire ship.

It's the same now. After taking a bath, Mary often walks around in the corridor casually in her underwear and a towel.

If it weren't for the fact that several people's rooms were very close to each other, Coleman would never have thought that Mary's private life was so... uninhibited.

"Okay, okay, just kidding."

Mary shrugged: "I could feel the boat stop just now when I was sitting in the boat. Calculating the distance, we should have almost arrived at Shampoo. I'm going to change clothes. You go and see the other four people and don't let them mess around."

run."

"It's very difficult to find people in Shampoo Place."

"Um."

Coleman nodded and walked onto the deck expressionlessly.

Mary, on the other hand, frowned and looked at her naked body.

"...How to increase the arousal range of the Desire Fruit? I feel like this lustful charm won't work on most people."

"Desire, desire... There are many directions of desire that can be calculated now, but the intensity is too low and the practicality is too poor..."

Muttering to herself in a low voice, Mary walked back to the room and summoned a black military uniform.

"Okay, go to the island."

…

Mary and Coleman were wandering around the mangrove No. 30.

Perhaps because she arrived too early, there were only a few small pirates running around in the entire Chambord Islands. After catching a few waves of people, Mary lost interest in taking action.

After all, these pirates were not strong, but each one was slipperier than the last. After a few waves of bloody suppression, the remaining pirates hid in the sewers like mice, which led to Mary driving a half-baked sensual look.

None were found.

After thinking about it, these pirates wouldn't cause much trouble in Shampoo Land, so Mary simply didn't go looking for them one by one.

They just explained that they would meet at the Dandelion every night, and if they met any pirates who were not discerning, they would go directly to the navy garrison in Shampoo to register. After that, the six of them divided into three groups and left.

Mary and Coleman, the two leaders, had no rest. They rushed to the shopping street immediately to purchase supplies and update the equipment on hand.

Paul seemed to have family living in the Chambord Islands. He went to Mangrove No. 43 alone. Since it was not an illegal zone, the others were relieved.

Enxia, ​​on the other hand, took the two cute girls Ai Xi and Dasqi around, but did not take them to the No. 1 mangrove area.

Except for Dasqi and Ai Xi, everyone else is well aware of this reason.

"Human auction house..."

Walking on the street, Kuhlman looked at the huge mangrove tree marked with the word "1" in the distance with gloomy eyes, his tone filled with hatred and a hint of helplessness.

"It's really ridiculous that the Navy, which prides itself on being controversial, can only turn a blind eye to this."

Listening to Kuhlman's indignant speech, Mary could only shake her head.

Every world has a dark side. The security of the country in my previous life was much better than this world. The underground black market and drug trafficking associations are still rampant.

If there is a need, there will be a market. What's more, this human auction house is a place frequented by the Draco people. It is difficult to say that there is no support from government organizations behind it.

With their current abilities, even if they are filled with anger about this scene, they can't do anything more.

As strong as Garp, he still turned a blind eye to it; as free and straightforward as Luffy, he couldn't do much more than beat up the Celestial Dragon.

Under the current system, it is not easy to eradicate these dark sides represented by human transactions.

Kuhlman naturally understood this, so he could only clenched his fists to show his unwillingness, but he made no more moves.

Mary patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Kulman, all unfavorable situations stem from your own lack of ability."

"We have ways to change all this, but our capabilities are not enough."

"Even if we destroy the auction house now, there is no other meaning except for more people to be arrested to make up for this loss. The people we rescued will inevitably end up being unable to protect them due to our status.

Caught back."

"We are the navy after all, and we can't touch the forces behind it. If we get angry now, even if we fight, it will be useless."

Glancing at him lightly, Mary said with unusual certainty:

"But we have this kind of future, so don't be impatient now."

"Improve your strength with peace of mind, one day..."

The enemy is the darkness of this world, not a small human exchange.

It would be easy for Mary to destroy this human exchange, but in the end, it would not have much effect, it would just be a change of place.

Mary had the courage and consciousness to fight for her life, but it was expected that Mary would not waste her efforts in doing something meaningless in her own capacity.

In the fight with Crocodile, you can see the impact of the victory. And the black market in front of you is much deeper than Crocodile.

Even if the supplier is killed, human traffickers will continue to replenish it. If you want to completely control this phenomenon, you must have the courage and strength to be the enemy of an era.

What the two of them lack now is just strength.

This is the era of great pirates with great turmoil. How many people who venture on the sea would not have such courage?

Kuhlman also smiled, calmed down, and once again put on a straight face.

Two cold-faced rangers were searching for supplies on the street in a strange style. The two sets of justice cloaks, one black and one white, looked particularly eye-catching.

Large and small boxes stacked together are even more eye-catching.

And when the whispers from some of the talking crowd reached Mary's ears, Mary's face turned even darker.

"Hey hey hey...how can there be such a small navy?"

"I wonder, could it be a dress made for her by her family?"

"It's a bit like, that tall and thick man was brought out to play by his elders?"

"..."

Mary looked at Kuhlman with drooping eyes. Kuhlman had no expression on his face.

"Did you hear that?"

Mary's faint voice reached Kuhlman's ears. Kuhlman didn't tense up for a moment. He grinned, then quickly tightened it.

"I have received professional training and I don't know how to laugh."

"..."

Mary silently threw the box in her hand into Kuhlman's hand.

"In this case, please 'elder', please take up the responsibilities of the elders."

"Ha ha……"

A smile finally appeared on Coleman's face, which always had a rigid expression.

"It's rare to see you suffer."

…

After buying all the things they needed to buy sporadically, Coleman and Mary found a place to sit down.

It was almost noon, and the two of them had to find a good place to eat.

The piles of boxes stacked up next to them were so shaky that they were intimidating. Many people were afraid of being hit, so they subconsciously took a detour and walked away.

Inexplicably, there was an empty area around the two of them, and they were happy to be at ease.

The sky was sunny, and the bench under the sun was extremely hot, but the two people who had walked for a long time didn't really want to move, so they just sat there motionless.

It's not a problem to be so silent all the time. Mary didn't have anything to think about alone right now, so out of boredom, she spoke first.

"Kulman, how old are you this year?"

"I must be forty-one, I can't remember clearly."

"So big!?"

Mary was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Also, it would be strange if the Legend of the North Sea, who had fought against Gaji before, was not of this age.

But having said that, at this age, his talent is still valued by Zefa. You can imagine how amazing and talented he was when he was young. It can be regarded as bad luck.

Mary shook her head and stopped thinking about this, and then asked:

"Why are you so familiar with the Shampoo Islands? If I remember correctly, you should be from the North Sea."

"Why are you so familiar with Shampoo Place..."

Coleman smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"My motherland was defeated. The motherland ruled by Germa is no longer my motherland. My comrades and relatives were all killed, and I was the only one who escaped into the windless zone."

"If I hadn't been lucky and accidentally entered the Grand Line, I might have died more than ten years ago."

For a moment, the air fell into silence. After a long time, Mary whispered:

"Sorry, this is not a good memory..."

"It doesn't matter, so many years have passed long ago."

"What's more, I still have the opportunity to make up for the mistakes I made in the first half of my life."

Coleman once again regained his classic poker face.

The Navy...is the springboard, the way to change the world.

"Indeed." Mary nodded, "We all have our own goals."

"Forget it, it's rare to go shopping and have fun. Although we are doing business, we may not have relaxed like this for a long time."

"Let's put those heavy topics to rest for now and let's talk about something lighter."

Coleman turned his head, looked at Mary who was coughing slightly, and said:

"That being said, I do have a question."

"What's the problem?"

"...how old are you?"

"roll."

"Just kidding."

Looking at Coleman's motionless face, Mary sneered.

"It is very impolite to ask a woman her age at random, Coleman."

"Well...I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"There's a big difference between your mental state and your appearance."

Coleman pondered for a moment and said.

Mary sneered and said something. After looking Kuhlman up and down, she spoke sharply:

"...Forget it, it seems that you are so old, you probably don't have much luck with women."

Coleman frowned.

"Hmm...why do you say that?"

Mary chuckled and shook her head.

"Just by looking at your bad mouth, I can tell how a guy like you who doesn't know how to be charming can be destined to be a woman..."

"Kulman...is that you?"

"..."

A timid female voice came from in front of the two of them. Mary was startled and looked in front of her. She saw a petite adult woman approaching cautiously and staring at Kullman intently.

Mary was silent for a moment, then slowly moved her eyes towards Kuhlman.

At this time, Kuhlman clasped his hands together, placed them on his knees, lowered his head and coughed lightly.

"Well... long time no see, Edna."

"It's really you!"

Edna exclaimed softly, walked forward quickly, and sat next to Kuhlman.

"When you called me this morning, I had no idea you would be arriving so soon."

"Why don't you even say a word to me even though you're around here?"

Edna said angrily.

Coleman's tone was slightly embarrassed.

"Uh...because I have some things to do."

"There are some things... also, you are in the navy now, so you should indeed be busy with official duties."

Edna was startled for a moment, then nodded as if understanding.

"Then this...is your partner?"

Edna looked at Mary aside with suspicious eyes.

Although Mary had appeared in the newspaper, just like Aokiji had never expected before, from that perspective, no one would associate a pretty little girl with the majestic navy.

So Edna couldn't confirm Mary's identity for a while. She just thought it was a bit... weird for a little girl to sit with her partner.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became weird and awkward, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Just as Kuhlman was about to explain something, Mary immediately answered:

"It's nothing, he's just an elder I haven't seen for a long time. I'll leave right away. It's time for me to go home."

Coleman instantly turned his head to look at Mary, but Mary stood up and turned around without hesitation.

Paul has relatives in Chambord, and I, Mary, also have an elder. Is this reasonable?

"Wait a minute..."

Coleman quickly stood up, comforted Edna, and quickly caught up with Mary.

"Wait a minute, Mary, why did you leave? This..."

"Explain explain?"

Mary raised her eyebrows, lowered her voice, and couldn't stop glancing at Edna.

"Ahem, she is my friend."

Mary's eyes widened when she heard Kuhlman's explanation.

"How can we have such close friends!?"

"She's almost sitting on your lap. You call her a friend?"

"You are such a woman..."

Mary's breath was suffocated, and her expression gradually became distorted.

This old boy like you actually has a partner!

You have betrayed the brotherhood of the revolutionary class!

At this time, Edna seemed to realize something belatedly. She stood up and asked tentatively:

"Um...this little lady, did I come at the wrong time?"

Coleman was about to say something when he heard this, but Mary said directly without thinking:

"No, you came just in time!"

After saying that, she looked at Kuhlman with extremely sharp eyes.

"...I'm leaving, I won't disturb you."

"Senior Coleman, um... when you finish your work, the two of us can catch up on old times."

Immediately, she walked away regardless of Kullman's expression.

"Wait, Ma..."

Looking at Mary who was quickly walking away, Coleman sighed silently.

I still couldn't let Mary get down a level, she was a bit too smart.

I don’t even have to give steps.

After walking a few blocks, Mary could not help but stop. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed and ashamed she became.

[Not much luck with women].

What a bad mouth I have...

Mary rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky speechlessly.

"The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado..."
