A sea beast dozens of meters high with white and green markings like a cow burst out from the bottom of the sea, revealing half of its body on the sea surface, and people and animals looked at the boat in front of them harmlessly: "Moo-"

"There's something fun!" Xiu Ma, who was bored, lit up his eyes, stepped on the moon step, jumped up in the air a few times, and lay on Moo's head, knocking and knocking, making a playful sound, "Drive, drive!" ”

As if feeling insulted to her dignity, Moo's expression began to become a little irritable, looking like a volcano about to erupt.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Shuma scratched his head, took out a few 'Destruction Peppers' that he had brought with him, and threw them into the gap in Moo's mouth.

Moo's pupils narrowed suddenly, and a strong wave of heat suddenly erupted from his huge mouth, and his whole body began to stir the waves.

"Hey, that's so bad!"

Xiuma clenched his little fist and unceremoniously slammed it on the top of Moo's head.

Crash!!

Moo's huge body was instantly sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the waves alternated layer by layer, rolling and undulating in all directions.

"It's too much strength...... "Shuma stopped in the air, scratching his head embarrassedly.

Wow –

Moo's body once again emerged from the sea, with a large bag on top of its head, and let out an angry roar.

Bucky detached one hand and flew a meter away from Moo's eyes, his outstretched index finger hanging in the air like a tiny needle, and his voice was suddenly gloomy: "If you don't want to be food, give me some peace." ”

The terrifying momentum above his head and in front of his eyes made a cold sweat break out on Moo's forehead, and his intuition told him that if he resisted, it would end in danger, and he kept his posture trembling and didn't dare to move.

"Very good...... Bucky tossed a long rope from the deck at the horse, "put it on, we can speed it up." ”

……

The humidity in the air began to rise, and the sea began to rain tricklingly.

With the power to moo in front of the road, with the ship's sails emblazoned with the skull flag retracted, it only took a few hours to reach the shore.

The Bikudopp landed unhindered and unhindered.

At a glance, the village is very deserted, almost no one can be seen, I don't know if it is because of the rain or if this place is so lifeless, and looking up, the symbolic shark head high-rise of the Aaron Empire looms, and after looking at it for a long time, it feels like a phantom in the rain...... This isn't the village of Cocoa West.

The cloak to keep out the rain was draped over his body, and Bucky looked at Xiu Ma, who was forcibly pulling Moo and playing in the water: "Xiu Ma, the task of guarding the ship is up to you." ”

"Huh?" Shuma sat on top of the tearful Moo Head and patted his chest, "Leave it to me!" ”

"Uncle Bucky, I want to go out and have a look, too."

Keya put on a pale yellow cloak and walked along the rope ladder of the hull to the shore, I don't know if it was because of the weather, she felt that she had been in a very dull mood recently, maybe it was because she had been in the study for too long to read medical books, and her brain was a little dizzy.

"Let's come along." Bucky beckoned, and waited until she had caught up before continuing to walk forward with Kabaji.

Walking along the road in the deserted village road, the raindrops hit the ground, covering a thin layer of dust on the bluestone slab, at a glance, the dense cobwebs by the windows of the house have been broken by the fine raindrops, the small yard is open in the door, there are no traces of people, leaning against the corner of the wall to put some old fishing gear and farm tools, the scenery is depressed.

"It's so deserted, it's completely different from the bustle of Xirob Village." Keya said with emotion.

"Can't you smell it? There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and if it weren't for this rain, I'm afraid this smell would have lasted for a long time. Bucky replied with a nonchalant expression.

Keya exclaimed in disbelief: "Uncle Bucky, you mean ......"

"If I'm guessing correctly, everyone in this village must have been killed, and there are traces of looting everywhere, at least a month...... If there was a village next door, maybe it was the corpse they collected. ”

Keya covered her mouth in pain, tears rolling in her eyes: "Why, why is this?!" ”

"Life and death are like this, and if you are in a position of being too weak, you will inevitably be dominated by the powerful, or even killed."

Kabaji interjected nonchalantly, as one of the first patriarchs to follow Bucky, he himself had his own understanding of this sea, whether it was the usual despicable methods in the early days or the idea of becoming stronger now, it was to survive on this sea.

"It is undeniable that Kabaji's words are that the world is actually the meat of the weak, Keya, you should have eaten the meat of other animals, if you can eat it with peace of mind, it means that your subconscious mind agrees with this idea, for them, we are strong, so we can take their lives without care...... Of course, these two things cannot be generalized. ”

"But......" Khaya bit her lower lip, Bucky had a point, but she couldn't and didn't dare to accept it.

Bucky continued: "It's not that you can kill innocents indiscriminately, I personally still retain the opinion that animals with high intelligence and communication skills are equal, but the initiators don't think so, this world will always be full of all kinds of irreconcilable contradictions, and the consequences are probably the same, I am just conveying to you the information I see and hear, you should learn to make your heart strong during the journey." ”

As if because of the sound of walking and talking, a strange gaze shot from not far away, fell on him, and looked sideways, it was a boy hiding in the shadows of the alley with half his head poked out.

"You're human!"

The little boy came out cautiously, looking haggard, thin, and a little languished, but after a few steps, he began to stagger and fell to the ground.

Keya was still pondering what Bucky said, when the sound of muddy water splashing suddenly woke up, looked up, and ran up to help the little boy in a panic, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." The miserable-looking little boy struggled to his feet and shouted at Bucky and the others, "Is there a doctor?" Is there a doctor to save my sister! ”

The only sound he had was echoed in the sound of ticking raindrops, and no one answered.

"Is there a doctor to save my sister, please!" He repeated the same words, his weak voice mixed with anxiety and panic.

Everyone's eyes fell on Keya, who was a little hesitant.

"Are you a doctor, are you a doctor, big sister!" The tears on the little boy's face were no longer distinguishable from the rain, and he looked at Keya as if he was grasping a life-saving grass.

"I'm ......" Keya, who was not very confident, looked at Bucky as if she had no backbone, remembered what the latter had just said, and finally nodded with determination, "I'm a doctor!" ”

"Great...... Big sister, please save my sister! ”

"I see, you take me over, I'll figure it out."

"She's been burning for days!" The little boy hurriedly took Keya's hand and ran towards a house, disappearing into the rain.

"Captain Bucky, do you want to let her go?" Kabaji stopped talking, but still said.

"It's okay...... Let's go. Bucky shrugged his shoulders and walked down the trail against the village.

The two of them continued on their way, passing half a village, where there was not a single living person in sight except for the little boy who had just survived, and the smell of blood could clearly reach his nose in the rain, but he soon lost sight of it, for his nose had adapted to it.

Aaron...... This is really a brutal guy who slaughtered the whole village, and his character is definitely more vicious and vicious than in the original book......

Yes, this is a real world after all, and it is not unusual for an ultra-racist like him to do such a thing, especially when the navy is laissez-faire, he is obviously more unscrupulous, he is not like a pirate, but an emperor, who controls the power of life and death of everyone in the nearby village.

Aaron Empire...... It lives up to its name.

Bucky doesn't know what to think in his heart, he is not a cold-blooded person, he has some sympathy for these civilians who are not in line with his position and interests, although he does not have a heart of fraternity, but he also has no interest in abusing ordinary people, seeing such behavior, he is more disgusted than angry, Aaron, who inherited the dark side of the fish-man Tiger, is really a nasty bastard.

Kabaji followed him, following Bucky as a pirate for so many years, but he didn't overly violent against civilians, looking at the contrast between the dense group houses and the depressed streets in the village, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This is the Aaron Empire......"

Bucky said with some amusement: "Who would have thought that in the East China Sea, which is known as the most peaceful sea, there is such a place, cruel, chaotic and cold, and the buildings that start to rot and rust from the bottom will sooner or later be in danger of the upper floors, and finally collapse and fall to pieces......"

The last sentence was not spoken, but put in my heart, "This is the troubled times, the troubled times that are about to usher in the peak......"

In this somewhat oppressive land, mixed with a long drizzle, people's mood will be more or less affected.

As he walked, Bucky picked up the phone bug in his hand and dialed the phone.

"Mochi, where are you now?"

"You're Bucky, haha-" There was a strange laugh from the other side, not Mochi.

Bucky was silent and spoke, "Shouldn't you give your own name before asking someone's name?" ”

"What an interesting human pirate."

After saying this, the other end of the phone bug was filled with all kinds of mocking laughter, dozens of people laughing at the same time, and then these voices stopped at the same time and changed back to their original voices.

"I'm Aaron, and there's a stupid pirate trying to challenge my authority, but I've spared him a life, Bucky, if you want him to live, bring your head and 100 million Bailey to the Aaron Empire, haha!"

Poof.

The phone bug's eyes closed, and there was no more sound.

"The white-haired monster has been caught." Kabaji snorted twice without any sense of crisis, and said gloatingly, "This idiot must have done something infuriating." ”

"Moki's movement seems to be a bit bigger." Bucky whispered, "But at the end of the day, I blame me for not thinking about this matter, after all, the other party is a fishman who came down from the Great Voyage, and it is not as easy to deal with as I imagined......"

"Then what should we do, Captain Bucky."

Bucky paused, pondered for a while, and said: "His purpose is to get back the 100 million Bailey, as well as eliminate me, an external hidden danger, as a bait to lure us Mochi, there is no danger to our lives at the moment, but we can't hand over the initiative, since he threatens us with Moqi, then we will treat others in the same way." ”

"If you want to manage such a large territory, his subordinates can't all be grouped together, there will definitely be fishmen who decentralize management and monitor patrols, if we can catch a few fish that slip through the net, we may be able to use it as a bargaining chip to regain the initiative."

"But...... Will Aaron not care whether his men live or die......"

Kabaji asked suspiciously, there are too many such pirates, it can be seen in this part of the East China Sea, the higher the bounty amount, the more cold-blooded, Chloe, Klick, and the previous Bucky are all such people.

"No, these fish-men are the basis for him to establish an empire in the East China Sea, one less to die, there are few fish-people in the East China Sea, plus he is an extremist himself, once the number of his subordinates is reduced, he will not be able to replenish manpower from the human race, and the dominance of external expansion will be greatly reduced, according to common sense, he will not take this risk."

Listening to Bucky's analysis, Kabaji nodded abruptly: "So, as long as we can catch and hold those scattered fish-men hostage, we can exchange for Mochi's idiot." ”

"That's right, but now I don't know where Aaron's bottom line is, one fishman, two fishmen, three fishmen, or more, when he feels distressed, we can take back the initiative."

Bucky continued: "Let's go our separate ways, although Mochi is the bait on the hook, but we can't overestimate the patience of Aaron as a fisherman, there is not much time left for us, and we will ...... after half a day."

He looked up at the looming tower, "Meet at that location." ”

After summing it up, they split up, and the fish-man capture plan began.

……

Somewhere in the village, the faint candlelight flickered, and the smell of fruits and vegetables filled the place.

A girl who breathed weakly, probably only three or four years old, was lying on a bed made of shelves with pale lips, covered with a cotton quilt, looking very uncomfortable.

The green bubbles of a table tennis ball appeared in the palm of Keya's hand, and she stirred the bubbles in the cup, carefully opening the girl's mouth and slowly dripping the liquid into it.

The little girl's throat moved slightly, her expression softened a lot, and her breathing was much smoother and smoother.

Keya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, diseases and external injuries in the body were two different systems, and she couldn't be sure if her ability was effective, but now it seemed that this ability should have a certain effect on the internal injuries of the human body.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then applied a water bag to the girl's forehead, and then took a medical box that the boy had dug out of the smashed village medical office, and her eyes scanned and her hands trembled as she touched the various needles and medicines that were not marked in the medical box.

"I'm a doctor...... I'm a doctor. ”

Keya said to herself silently in her heart, trying to keep her emotions calm, trembling and holding a medicine tube in front of her to watch, even if she read a lot of medical books, but theory and practice are completely different things, the real experience on the spot is completely zero, and the state of mind is not as calm as usual.

The little boy held back tears and did not dare to speak out, his name was Calis, he was born in this village of Nisa, until a month ago, the villagers could no longer stand Aaron's endless raids, rose up and resisted, and finally everyone was mercilessly killed, and he hid in the cellar with his three-year-old sister in his arms, and narrowly escaped this fate.

It was the day of the fish-man invasion, he and his sister hid in the cellar all day, waiting for the group of fish-people to leave, only to find that the head was groggy, and the three-year-old sister had worse resistance, when he found out her strangeness, his sister had fallen into a coma, and the disease lasted for more than a month, and the fish-man who could be seen outside from time to time made himself afraid to take his sister to the ground, for fear of being killed.

In this hostile environment, his condition worsened, and he finally had to take the risk of running out to find help.

It wasn't until Keya's order just now that the vegetables and fruits in the cellar were emptied, and Calis knew that it was these foods and himself that robbed him of the "air", that the long-term cerebral hypoxia was the source of the coma, and that the weather changes and the harsh environment in the cellar made his sister have a fever and infection.

"No...... There are no fever-reducing and disease-relieving agents here. Keya put down the medical case, slightly looked at the little girl's eyelids and tongue, and looked at Calis with difficulty, "I don't know...... How long can I sustain my abilities, but if I continue like this, she'll die soon......"

"What then!" Calis's face was full of tears, and he bit his lower lip to prevent himself from crying too much, and if it weren't for his sister, the only spiritual support, he would have collapsed in the pain of losing his parents and neighbors.

The feeling of being relied on and regarded as the backbone of the heart made Keya feel indescribable, as if she saw the crying and very stubborn self in the past, and suddenly remembered what Bucky had just said, "...... You should learn to make your heart strong during your journey. ”

She took a deep breath and pressed her hands on the little boy's shoulders: "Don't worry, there must be a village nearby, there must be an infirmary there, as long as you get there, there will definitely be a way." ”

The little boy choked up and said, "The closest thing to here is the village of Cocosia, but, but, ...... There will definitely be those bastard fishmen in the way, and, moreover...... My sister she ......."

"Even if you stay here, your sister's condition will not improve...... If it is sent to the infirmary, we still have hope, don't give up! ”

For the first time, Keya felt that she was speaking like an adult, with a smell of firmness and maturity.

Calis wiped his tears strongly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, big sister. ”

Hearing the other party's promise, Keya wrapped the little girl in a thick quilt, carefully held it in her arms, and asked Calis to open the cellar door and walk out in the wind and rain.
