"Don't be stunned, come up and show you a different world," Roland said and waved at her again.

"Okay," Merlin replied a little nervously, and ran quickly towards Waji's palm, and then, with Roland's help, stood on Waji's hand as well.

Although Vaji's palm was large, the feeling of standing on it was still not much different from standing on land, and Merlin became more and more nervous.

"Stand firm," Roland reminded, "and it might be a little shaky next." ”

Merlin nodded, not speaking, she was already a little frightened and speechless.

"Waghi, lift us on your shoulders," Roland continued.

Naturally, Waji would not refuse, and did so honestly.

After that, Roland and Merlin both went to Waji's shoulders, compared to Roland's calmness, Merlin was much worse, she was already frightened and pale, and subconsciously grabbed Roland.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you fall," Roland chuckled, "Sit down, then you'll have some peace of mind." ”

"Hmm," Merlin nodded, and then, with Roland's help, carefully sat on Waji's shoulder, and Roland sat directly next to her.

"It's a different way to see things here, right?" Roland said with a smile.

"Indeed," Merlin nodded, feeling the perspective she had never experienced before, and the fear in her heart couldn't help but dissipate a little.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Merlin continued, "It's really like a new world! A lot of things that I could only look up to before are now under my feet, and even the wind is much stronger than below, so comfortable......"

"Really?" After Merlin finished sighing, Roland continued, "Actually, this is what it feels like to become stronger, to look at the world from a higher perspective. ”

"That's what it is...... Getting stronger? Merlin said softly, thoughtfully.

"Calm down and think about it, do you really want to be stronger?" Roland continued, "When you are at a different height, you may have a different view of things, imagine if you really reached that height, you could easily kill that black bull, and then, what do you want to do?" When you figure it out, answer my questions. ”

For the contradiction between the villagers and Mei Lin, Roland can only say so much, after all, on the one hand, there is the life and death feud of his parents, and on the other hand, there is a belief passed down from generation to generation, and the two parties have their own reasons, and if they can do it, they can only give respect.

Thinking about it carefully, Mei Lin's side agreed to her request to get on the boat, and the villagers' side gave up the opportunity to hunt the black bull, which can be regarded as taking care of each other, and there will be no guilt in their hearts.

On the other side of the "......", Merlin fell silent after listening to Roland's words, she finally knew what Roland was doing for letting her run to Waji's shoulder.

However, she was not disgusted, because she knew very well that she really needed to calm down, after all, today's self was too different from her usual self.

It's not that she can't understand the thoughts of the other villagers, but understanding and accepting are two different things, they have their insistence, and they also have their own insistence, why do they have to listen to them and swallow all the hatred in their stomachs?

Before, because of his weakness, he didn't have the ability to resist that monster at all, but today, because of Roland's appearance, he saw the hope of revenge, and after holding it for too long, he suddenly broke out, which would cause him to be so out of shape, right?

But, then again, if you're strong enough, can you change all that? Or will it be the same as getting tangled?

"Where are you going next?" Just as Merlin was thinking, Vaji suddenly spoke, after all, he was equivalent to a driver now, and he had to determine Roland's destination before he could set off.

"Let's go back to that village directly, and after bringing those pirates with us, we can almost go to sea," Roland had already made his decision, and said lightly after hearing Waji's question.

Now, even if there are other creatures on the island that are worth preying, Roland has no intention of continuing to explore.

……

On the road.

"I want to be stronger," Merlin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "and, not just stronger than that monster, but very strong, stronger than Roland!" ”

"Yo? Suddenly so scrappy? But I'll get stronger too, and it might not be so easy to catch up with me," Roland paused for a moment, then chuckled, but he had no intention of asking what the other party had gone through.

"I'm not going to give up!" Merlin said with a firm expression.

"Then let's work together," Roland continued, after a pause, "but in which direction do you want to go?" Physical arts? Swordplay? No, these are still a bit difficult for you who have no foundation, and you should still find a Devil Fruit as soon as possible. ”

"Devil Fruits?" Merlin wondered, it was the first time she had heard the name, and it sounded scary.

"Devil fruits, that's ......" Roland began to introduce Merlin, including types, characteristics, etc.

In this way, time passed slowly, and Waji was still trying to hurry.

……

As mentioned earlier, if it was a simple journey, Waji would have been much faster than the villagers, and it would have taken them half a day to walk from the sacrificial place to the village, while Waji had arrived in less than an hour.

This is still because Vaji took into account that Merlin was on his shoulder, so he tried to avoid some movements with a relatively large amplitude, otherwise it could be faster.

Upon arriving in the village, Roland quickly found the group of pirates who claimed to be the Steel Knife Pirates.

By this time, some of them had woken up, but when they realized that they were tied up and had no hope of escaping, they resigned themselves to their fate.

While Roland went to find the pirates, Merlin also temporarily returned to her home, and before the villagers had returned, she had to pack her luggage to take away.
