Chapter 6 Cocoyasi Town welcomes you
"What should we do next? Or run away!"
"I told you, calm down~" Xia Che looked at Nami who started to pull at him again after she came back, and said helplessly, "It will be okay. Even if something happens, I am confident to run away."
"Okay! Okay! That's a naval hero! Our Captain Xia Che will definitely be able to work with the naval heroes." But looking at Xia Che who was still so calm, Nami felt a lot more relieved, and she was confused. He looked around, "Where's Robin? Why isn't he here? Did he run away secretly?"
"Robin still has something to do. I'll come back later." Xia Che waved his hand and didn't explain too much about where Robin was.
As for Cap...
To be honest, he wasn't sure whether Garp would be complicit with him.
It can be said that Garp fished in troubled waters, acted carelessly, and had some double standards, but there is no doubt that as a naval hero, he also has his own justice.
There is no pure evil or pure good in this world. This is a world that belongs to the cesspool.
There are bad guys in the navy, but there are also good guys among pirates!
And Monkey D. Garp has his own navy that distinguishes justice.
As for the world government and navy...
To be honest, just the apparent ability of the World Government makes people despair. If there is no good way to solve it, then the justice of fishing in troubled waters is the only justice they can achieve.
Fool your superiors when it comes to superiors, and enforce your own justice against subordinates!
If you don't have the strength, you can either go to the sea and hide in Tibet as a pirate, join the World Government, or fish in troubled waters.
As for himself...
They are just taking advantage of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
You must know that this is a world that belongs to the strong. The strong can destroy everything in an instant. The weak can only abide by the rules set by the strong. Without strong strength, everything is empty talk.
Xia Che shook his head with emotion, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said, "At least it looks like he won't be arrested now."
After all, Lieutenant General Garp just ate the sesame cakes he invited.
He raised his head and looked at Nami who looked confused, "If you are really okay, go out and help deal with the newly arrived refugees! You know, a lot of people were arrested this time~"
…
"Dad, aren't they really going to sell us?"
"No, I don't know."
"Can I eat that? It's white rice and big white steamed buns. It's so delicious!"
"I, I...I..." Seeing his daughter staring at him with longing eyes, the man called dad wanted to refuse but couldn't say it.
He didn't know if all this was a lie to them, and he didn't know if this would be their last meal as ordinary people.
As long as they finish this meal, they will become slaves and be sold to that group of hateful nobles, or even the terrifying Celestial Dragons.
Although he is just a refugee, as someone who lives in this sea, he is also aware of those gods... no, they should be called terrifying demons.
It is said that as long as they fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons, they are no longer human and can only live like insects.
They may even suffer unimaginable torture.
but……
"Dad, I'm so hungry~"
After hearing his daughter's words and holding his daughter's thin body, the man couldn't say any words of rejection.
Pique.
This is his name.
His wife had starved to death, and he didn't want his daughter to starve to death too.
but……
He was just an ordinary person but there was nothing he could do.
Thinking of yesterday...
They were originally just citizens of the Wirtgen Kingdom, no, it should be said that they were forgotten citizens.
In order to pay the high amount of heavenly gold, the king of the Kingdom of Wirtgen confiscated their property and drove them to a remote place on the island, as forgotten people, leaving them to fend for themselves in a deserted place.
Some people say that this was learned from the Kingdom of Goa, which is said to be the most beautiful country in the East China Sea. It drove away useless citizens and kept the country clean and beautiful.
I even heard that the Kingdom of Goa was praised by the Celestial Dragons for this.
He didn't know how beautiful the most beautiful country was, but how beautiful could a country that even abandoned its own people be?
Yesterday morning they were still scavenging in a deserted place, but in the evening a group of pirates suddenly rushed onto the island, and then they came here.
He still remembered that when he heard that he had a daughter, the bald pirate captain was stunned for a moment, then smiled excitedly and shouted, "You have a daughter! Take it with you!"
What a terrible devil this is!
Even the little girl is not spared.
They originally thought that if their father and daughter were caught, they would suffer unimaginable abuse and even be sold into slavery, but they didn't expect...
Is it actually like this? !
Pique looked around and couldn't help but smell the spreading fragrance. Not to mention a little girl, even an adult like him couldn't help it.
He is hungry too.
So hungry!
want to eat!
At this time.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a sound of metal knocking, which brought Pique back from his thoughts. Pique raised his head with confused eyes and looked at the window that appeared in front of him.
Is it your turn already?
Have all the people in front finished queuing up?
Did everyone really get food? His heart was full of doubts, but...
"Dad, Katie is really hungry!" The little girl who called herself Katie cautiously glanced at the window, then looked at her father again with longing eyes, and said, "Can I eat?"
"I..." Pique lowered his head to look at his daughter's eager eyes, then raised his head to look at the food in the window. After swallowing, he looked at the dishes that had been finished, his eyes were confused, as if he was dreaming. But others sat down under the instructions of the security team.
Maybe you really are dreaming!
But even if they are dreaming, they still have to eat!
Thinking of it, Pique's cloudy eyes became serious, staring closely at his daughter, "Eat! We must be full! This may be our last meal."
Although these words should not be said to a girl, there is no other way now.
"Even if we are going to die, we must eat before we die. We must not become slaves. It is hell!"
However.
The words just fell.
Before he could wait, his young daughter asked what he meant with a puzzled look on his face.
"Dong dong dong~"
Another sound of metal tapping sounded.
Then just when Pique thought he was going to be beaten because of what he just said.
"Hey, hey, hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you were choosing dishes, but I didn't expect you to say such things to a child!"
"???" Pique raised his head in confusion and looked behind the window at the old woman serving food who was holding a big spoon and wearing a white loose chef's uniform that could not hide her fat body.
What does this guy mean?
Are you worried that they will commit suicide?
Before he even asked.
"Bah, bah, bah, what the hell! This is Cocoyasi Town, Colonel Xia Che's territory. There are no slaves anywhere. You are not here to be slaves."
The old woman serving vegetables complained angrily, then looked at the little girl who was afraid of staring at her, and smiled at the little girl with her wrinkled face.
"Don't be afraid, little girl, this is not a bad place. From today on, you can have a full meal and wear beautiful clothes, and no one will bully you."
"Is...really okay?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you, as long as your father works hard." Looking at those longing eyes, the old lady cooking happily raised the big spoon in her hand and said with excitement, "Here You can find a job, get paid, have enough to eat, and have nice clothes.”
"You can learn useful knowledge, sleep peacefully, laugh happily, and live happily every day!"
"If you still have a skill, you can get a better job and get higher pay. Of course, if you don't know anything, as long as you work hard enough, there will be factories looking for you. There is a huge shortage here. Human!"
"Welcome to Cocoyasi Town, the most beautiful place in the East China Sea."
"Hurry up and order now. You can eat as much as you want, but remember not to waste it or overeat. You will be very busy tonight."
"..."
Finally, at the urging of the old woman, Pique took his daughter and filled a plate full of dishes.
There is rice on it, big white steamed buns, delicious vegetables, and tempting meat. It is a delicacy that their family has never eaten before.
The moment they sat down and looked at the dishes in front of them, everything seemed like a dream.
is this real?
“Dad, can I eat it?”
"Well! Eat! Katie~" Hearing his daughter's voice, Pique came back to his senses and made sure that what he saw was not real. After indicating that his daughter could eat, he saw his daughter happily gobbling up the food with a smile on her face. He couldn't help but smile.
At this time.
He seemed to hear something. He turned his head and watched as another group of people suddenly walked in. No, I shouldn't say again, those were the other people who came with them just now.
It's just that this group of people seemed to have gone... By the way, they went to take a shower.
Piqué was stunned when he looked at the people who should have been dressed in tatters and filth like him, but had become clean and wearing new gray clothes.
His eyes were filled with wonder.
"Dad, you eat too, it's so delicious. This is the most delicious thing Katie has ever eaten."
It wasn't until his daughter's shout that he was brought back from his thoughts. Looking at his daughter who was bulging with food, Pique, who was originally sad and worried, couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Eat! Dad eats too!"
In fact, he had been hungry for a long time, but everything in front of him was so shocking that he forgot about hunger. Now that he came to his senses, the uncomfortable hunger in his stomach awakened him again, and he couldn't wait to eat. .
But just one bite of steamed buns immediately stunned him.
"Delicious!"
For a moment.
Tears flowed from his eyes, crossed his mouth, and fell from the corners of his mouth.
Can you have enough to eat as long as you work hard?
With tears in his eyes, Pique looked at his daughter whose face was also full of tears. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Katy, dad will definitely work hard."
"Um!"
"I will definitely do it, even if I risk my life!"
Pique raised his head and looked at the window where the queue had re-formed. His eyes were no longer confused, but firm and serious.
Cocoyasi Town…
Colonel Shache!
