Chapter 6: Experiments
Leo watched the night for a while, and it was a rest...... A moment later, he burrowed into the small hollow of the tree. Although the tree hole is small, it is just enough to accommodate two small bodies, and there is even extra space, at least not crowded.
There is no desire to light the candle, and in the dark night, the shining light is undoubtedly a signal to the enemy to "I'm here", so I can only sleep with the night.
Leo looked at the Grammy carefully, brushing away the fine strands of blonde hair on her forehead, which were usually shiny and shiny, but now they were stained, her pale little face was covered with dust, her body was still covered with grass clippings, and red marks could be seen on her weak arms and calves, which were scars from the forest.
“……”
Leo's gaze flashed with annoyance.
But what can be done, they are just seven or eight years old.
If you can give them ten years, no...... Give Leo four or five years to definitely kill Capone Becky.
But now...... No way.
It is a person who has the ability to eat the [Castle Fruit], and his body can turn into a hard castle, and he has a large number of troops in captivity.
Fighting him now, it's just an unrealistic fantasy.
Never mind...... We'll talk about it tomorrow.
Puzzled, Leo felt the heaviness of his eyelids, untied the grass curtain rolled up at the entrance of the cave, cut off the night and the tree hole, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
……
Whenever he was asleep, Leo would often dream of something from a long time ago, which was a "bustle? "The city? But the prosperity does not belong to me, and every day is accompanied by computers, wallets, banknotes, boredom, and even despair.
In such a cold world, why do you still dream of them?
Maybe it's the small but warm room, or the landlord's aunt's stern, hateful but somewhat warm face.
It seemed to be someone's cry in my ears.
Who is it?
Is it your own?
Still is......
Leo slowly opened his eyes, and the cry in his ears instantly amplified, extremely clear, even deafening.
Leo was stunned for a while, and after a while, he came to his senses, wiped the two tears from the corners of his eyes because of dryness, and looked at the Grammys who were crying loudly, Leo's expression gradually froze.
Immediately after that, there was a "snap".
Leo slapped Grammy on the head.
"Huh."
Grammy's cry suddenly froze, and at the same time, he felt that Leo was different. People comfort the girl not to cry, it's all gentle persuasion, or hugging or something...... But he slapped people directly?
But it cannot be denied that this action has been very effective.
"Ahem."
Leo was a little embarrassed...... Reaching forward and touching the girl's head, there is no denying it...... That slap was Leo's wake-up gas, and he regretted it after the shot, but fortunately, the slap was retracted on the way, and for the Grammys, it was just a light slap.
"Alright, tell me what's going on......"
Leo asked softly.
He roughly deduced the cause and effect of the incident, but the specific events were not clear.
Grammy choked up a little and answered Leo's question as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Dad...... Mommy and Dad...... By...... All killed, the family ...... Anyone ...... No. ”
Thinking of her housekeeper, the Grammys cried again!
"Race ...... Saibaan ...... In order to...... Save me! I've been caught! ”
All right...... Leo hugged the girl, thinking that she had also suffered a lot. Although the words were intermittent, Leo still understood.
In general, when Grammy returned home, she saw the whole family being slaughtered and a group of people wanted to arrest her, and then she stood up with Grammy's housekeeper Saibaan and dragged the enemy to let Grammy escape.
In desperation and fear, Grammy's abilities were revealed, and her light body allowed her to surpass the speed of a normal human, successfully dodging her enemies, and was almost surrounded shortly after returning to the factory...... For some unknown reason, knowing that he had another hiding place, he came here alone with his speed and lightness of body.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Knowing very well how hard such a drastic change had hit this girl, Leo patiently comforted her.
It's still early in the morning and late at night...... The sun hadn't risen yet, and the Grammys' cries should have alarmed many beasts, but at least they couldn't find it yet.
I don't know how long it took for the Grammys to finally stop crying.
Leo stroked her hair and watched as the Grammy fell silent.
Her state was obviously not quite right, her eyes were empty and she didn't know what to think again, and Leo was afraid that she would go crazy like this, so he told her.
"I'll get your revenge, Grammy."
I didn't say don't worry, or don't worry, these are all trash words, how can such a situation be reassuring! So Leo was straightforward in order to comfort the Grammys and divert her attention.
"Really?"
Grammy's eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at Leo hopefully.
"Yes."
Leo nodded.
"But...... We're ......."
"Don't, I have a way, trust me."
Leo stared into the Grammy's eyes.
Maybe it was something in Leo's eyes, confidence? Still firm, those things made the girl's cheeks redden, and she could only bow her head to accept Leo's advice.
"Very well, then first, we have to find a way to get 382 out."
The sunrise in the West Sea also rises earlier than the other three seas, and soon after, the sky has already appeared in the white of the eastern fish's belly, the soft white light of the early morning...... Through the gap in the grass curtain at the entrance of the cave, Leo's eyes were illuminated.
Twenty minutes later.
A fire was lit under the tree, and since he couldn't return to the factory, he could only live in the tree hole for the time being, and there were still the props that Leo had used, the key was of course to break the pot, Leo cut the meat with a dagger, and threw it into the broken pot to cook a pot of broth.
There is no salt and no sugar, but the lord of the offshore sea is a sea creature, and nature itself has a salty taste, plus a few herbs that Leo pulled nearby to improve freshness and remove the fish, plus fresh fruit, so this pot of broth tastes pretty good, at least the Grammys are satisfied.
After eating and drinking, the Grammy asked Leo.
"You said you were going to save Saibaan, but my parents are dead, will he still be alive?"
"Definitely alive."
Leo eats a lot bigger than the Grammys, so he's still eating.
"The Gambino family's purpose is to kill them all, so they will find you at all costs, and naturally they will keep 382 in order to knock out your whereabouts from his mouth, right...... How did you know I had a base here? ”
Leo asked the question he had always wanted to know.
Hearing Leo's explanation, the Grammys also understood, a little sad, and a little relieved.
"It was the ...... found by Saibaan"
"Well, I still can't hide it from your family."
Grammy's father is not worried that she is playing with Leo, so he will naturally investigate Leo clearly...... But the Gambino family doesn't care so much about themselves, and it's impossible to find the tree hole in a short period of time...... The only one who knows the answer is Saibaan now.
So he had to be saved.
But with Leo's current ability, it would be difficult to break through the barrier of the entire family and rescue the adults.
What to do?
"Is Saibaan strong?"
Leo asked abruptly.
If Saibaan is strong...... Then it's simple, just open the cage that locks the tiger, which Leo does best.
"Of course!"
With that, the Grammys lifted their chin and looked at Leo proudly.
"And what is he good at?"
"Grace ......" Grammy thought for a moment and finally gave an answer.
"Kicking skills...... bar. ”
Kicking skills...... Hm.
As the steward of the Sirin family, must not let the filth stain the hands that serve the Grammys? I remember that 382 always wore a pair of clean white gloves.
Case...... That loyalty to the Cillin family is unquestionable.
"I see."
But even so, Leo was still not very sure.
Looking at the Grammys, Leo seemed to think of something...... I'm not sure, my expression is incredulous, but I think there may be some truth.
"You...... What happened to you? ”
Grammy looked at Leo worriedly, afraid that Leo would lose his mind...... She has no relatives in this world anymore, and the only one she can rely on is Leo.
After thinking about it for a long time, Leo decided to give it a try, so he stared at the Grammys with burning eyes.
"Grammy......
"Dry ...... Why? ”
Grammy was a little frightened, and her body shrank back, always feeling that Leo's gaze looked like she was looking at some kind of test subject.
"I need you to do an experiment for me."
Sure enough, Leo said.
"I ...... I refuse ......"
Grammy replied hesitantly, thinking to herself that Leo had really lost his mind, what kind of experiment did he want to do?
"No, no, no......"
Seeing Grammy's dodging gaze, Leo realized that he was too abrupt, so he could only say comfortingly.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't hurt you, it's just ...... It can make you incapacitated. ”
"Yes...... Force? Devil Fruit abilities? ”
"Yes."
Thinking of that possibility, Leo felt he had to give it a try.
"If I want to improve the chances of rescuing Saibaan, I need your ability to help me."
"Good! I'll be sure to help you! ”
The Grammys were immediately perked! Clenched his little fists and said firmly.
“……”
"That'...... How? ”
The Grammy asked suspiciously.
Leo hooked his hand.
"Come here."
"Oh."
Grammy, come over a little.
"A little more."
“……”
The Grammys come a little more.
Leo's right hand then reached for Grammy's chest.
Grammy's little face flushed! Clasped his arms and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?!" ”
"Huh?"
Leo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this move was quite ......
"Uh...... I didn't mean that, anyway...... Just don't move......"
Leo didn't know how to explain it, but thankfully...... The Grammys didn't ask much, instead closed their eyes and let Leo fum......
“……”
Leo rolled his eyes helplessly.
Reached into Grammy's chest.
