Instead of executing her or expelling her, the Fat Missionaries made money by selling the "Cleansing Stone", as Roland had seen at the beginning.

They change places every time they do an operation, and today is the third time they've done it, and the first two times, no one helped her.

Moreover, she has not eaten during this time, and she has not been able to escape at an astonishing speed like she had at the beginning, so she can only be at the mercy of others.

Then, just when she was already desperate for her life, Roland and the others appeared!

……

After listening to the cat man girl's story, Roland couldn't help but pout, another tragedy caused by the ignorance of the people around him, just like Robin, because of the accidental consumption of the devil fruit and the ignorance of the people around him.

That's right, Roland is almost sure that the other party just ate the devil fruit, after all, the cat's ears and tail are not born, but obtained suddenly, and this is the only explanation.

However, a final confirmation is needed.

Roland had a large amount of seawater stored in his stomach pouch, so he directly took out a small basin, looked at the cat man girl and said, "You put your hand in there and try it." ”

The other party did not respond, but looked at Roland's hand with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Roland was a little puzzled.

"Just ...... Your hand ......" Catman Girl said with a look of surprise as she pointed to the palm of Roland's hand, which had just briefly returned to its slime form and taken out the basin of water and seawater.

"Uh," Roland was a little helpless, because it had become a habit, and he accidentally took it out directly, which was really a big mistake.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to hide it, Roland said directly, "Whether you believe it or not, in fact, I am not a human, but a slime." ”

"The slime is...... What the? The cat girl was still very confused.

"It's too cumbersome to explain, but you'd better think of it as a magical creature anyway, what? Afraid of me? Roland continued.

"No, no, no, how come? I know you're not a bad person, and besides, you're still my benefactor," the cat girl quickly waved her hand, then looked at Merlin, and continued, "Is the other benefactor also a slime?" ”

"No," Merlin shook her head, "I'm human. ”

"Don't you think I'm a monster, then? I'm human, too, but I have cat ears and a tail," the cat girl said as she looked at Merlin.

"I don't think so," Merlin shook her head again, "how can you be called a monster if you are called a different person at best?" Monsters aren't as cute as you are. ”

"Thank you," the cat girl bowed to Mei Lin, paused, and continued, "Well, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiaoyu, what about the benefactors?" ”

"My name is Merlene, and this is Roland," Merlene began, "and you don't call us benevolently, just call us by name." ”

"Okay, Master Merlin," Xiao Yu nodded.

"Don't add an 'adult' to the back!" Merlin was a little speechless, it sounded really unaccustomed.

"That's not good, you are my benefactor, you must be honorific," Xiaoyu retorted.

"Okay, okay, put aside the salutation in advance," Roland suddenly interrupted their argument, "Xiaoyu, put your hand in here and try, be careful, you may be tired." ”

"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded and did so.

Sure enough, as soon as her hand touched the seawater, her body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Merlin helped her.

"What the hell is this......" After his hand left the seawater, although his physical strength was rapidly recovering, Xiao Yu was still a little shocked, and looked at Roland in surprise.

"Could it be that Xiaoyu ...... she" Mei Lin thought of something and couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right," Roland nodded slightly, "Sure enough, I ate a devil fruit, and it seems that it may be an animal-based cat fruit cat type, or a cat human type." ”

"What are you talking about Devil Fruits...... What the? Xiao Yu looked confused again.

"Devil Fruit, that's ......" Roland introduced the basic situation of Devil Fruit to her, and continued, "And the one you eat should be the kind that has side effects, which is why it will make you grow cat ears and cat tails." ”

After a pause, Roland continued, "On this sea, although Devil Fruits are rare, they are very normal things, you don't need to worry too much. ”

Xiao Yu fell silent after hearing this, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, seeing that Xiaoyu seemed to have accepted this information, Roland continued, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "That, what does Lord Roland do?" ”

"We are voyagers, roaming the seas, exploring the islands, what? Does Xiaoyu want to join us? Roland said with a smile.

"Is that okay?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but show a hopeful expression as she spoke.

"Yes, you can, but the sea is very dangerous, you need to keep practicing and getting stronger, that's very tiring, so you want to come with us?" Roland's face became a little more serious as he spoke.

"I also want to practice and become stronger, and I'm not afraid of hardship, and besides, I don't want to stay in this kingdom anymore, so ......" Xiao Yu bit her lip and held back her tears from flowing down, "So, please let me leave with you!" ”

Roland was silent, although the other party was still a little girl, but with a devil fruit, there was a lot of room for growth, and she wouldn't go to too dangerous seas for the time being, she could have a chance to become stronger, and she really liked her, or she agreed, right?

Merlin was also silent, she also begged Roland to join in this way, naturally hoped that Roland would agree to Xiaoyu, but Roland was the captain, and she felt that she should not speak at this time.

Seeing that Roland and Mei Lin were silent, Xiao Yu continued to speak, "Although I am very weak now and can't repay Lord Roland's kindness, I will try my best to become very powerful!" Moreover, I used to be a maid, I can also take care of Lord Roland's daily life, and I can also do some chores, please let me follow you! ”

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Roland, and her still weak body trembled slightly because of this action.

"Well, I agree," Roland's voice finally rang out.

Xiao Yu raised her head and looked at Roland with an excited face, "Thank you, Lord Roland!" ”

"Don't call me sir, call me captain," Roland corrected.

"Yes! Captain Roland! Xiao Yu shouted again, her body trembling more and more.

Roland also noticed that something was wrong with her, and directly took out a small bottle of healing medicine and handed it to her, "Drink this, this is the price of joining us." ”

"......" Merlin glanced at Roland speechlessly, what was he talking about?
