Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 111 The Princess in Distress

Is there someone hiding below?As soon as this idea popped up, Ethan found that he could no longer restrain his eager curiosity.

This sound has no sense of mechanical regularity, and the degree of priority is completely different. It is obviously artificially knocked out. Could it be that someone was secretly lurking below before sailing?
Ethan felt itchy in his heart, and wanted to go down and investigate.

But the stairs leading to the lower cabin... Ethan thought about it carefully, the dark stairs going down and the stairs going up seemed to be in the same place... The guards walking around seemed to be guarding the cabins below. ?

"Thinking about it this way...Although I have never said it clearly, it seems that the cabin below is also within the scope of control?" Ethan rubbed his chin, showing a curious expression, "What exactly are they trying to transport...Why do they seem to be so shameless? ?”

Thinking of this, Ethan felt a little puzzled, but as a bounty hunter, he must have a certain professional ethics.Since the employers have sealed off the stairs, they definitely don't want others to go down casually, so we, as qualified bounty hunters...

That must not take the stairs!

Ethan rolled his eyes, what nonsense professional ethics, just to satisfy curiosity.

He looked around the room, found an inconspicuous corner, and took out the Long Yi character.

puff!
With a soft muffled sound, the blade sank into the wooden floor.

Ethan's idea is very simple. The stairs are not allowed, so I will walk from my own room. The source of the sound must be investigated. If someone is really lurking in, then he can also take that person by the way. If someone wins, it can be regarded as doing a good job.

Holding the blade and gently cutting the ground, the whole process was extremely easy. As Ethan expected, with the sharpness of Longyi's characters, even if you don't press the button, cutting a floor is the same thing.

Before the floor was completely cut, Ethan had etched a few deep holes in it with hellfire. The floor was lifted.

Mentioning this surprised Ethan, this floor is really not thin, at least thirty to forty centimeters, and the space under the floor is dark, but Ethan can feel the emptiness below .

"Isn't it stacked with goods? Where are the goods?" Ethan frowned, put the floor aside, and then shook his right hand, and a small cluster of gentle flames appeared in his palm.

I took a picture with the flame down, but I still couldn't see anything, and the visibility was very limited.But it might be because of the flame, the knocking sound of "Tu Tu Tu" sounded again suddenly, and became more clear.Ethan could tell that the source of the sound was in the dark space below.

Ethan hesitated for a moment, but chose to jump directly. As soon as his feet landed, a system prompt sounded in Ethan's ear: "A very close-range energy source fluctuation has been detected." Ethan was taken aback for a moment, He had heard such a prompt before, that was when the Hailoushi he bought was already by his side.

"Could it be that there are sea tower stones stored here??" Ethan was faintly excited.

Following the illumination of the flames, Ethan proudly saw the empty space below, and there was no building block.In front of him was a row of wooden pillars, and the gaps between the pillars were very narrow, it looked like...a prison?
"Uh... um..."

A small voice sounded softly. Looking at the reputation, it turned out to be a girl in luxurious clothes, who collapsed behind this row of wooden pillars. Because her figure was so petite, Ethan couldn't help but tremble when she jumped off. Did not see her.

wrong.

Ethan came to his senses, there was a girl imprisoned on this boat? ?

Ethan's face darkened in an instant. When it comes to the existence he hates and hates most in this world, the Tianlong people must be the first, but the second place is all kinds of human traffickers.When he was in the East China Sea, he met many people who were in this business, and when they met, there would only be one result, that is, to kill them.

As a result, I didn't notice it for a while, and I almost became an accomplice of the traffickers?

Ethan felt a burst of anger, but he still suppressed his anger and prepared to investigate first.So he squatted down and approached the girl who was lying on the ground.

The girl had obviously been in this dark space for a long time, so that as soon as the light in Ethan's hand approached, it stimulated her to close her eyes.

"You... who are you?" Ethan asked in a low voice, and at the same time he was looking at her. This girl looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, her small face was very haggard and pale, and she looked very weak, like a porcelain girl. baby.

Don't look at the expensive clothes, but there are a pair of heavy black shackles on his hands, leaning against the wooden pillar.It looks like those "tuck-tuck-tuck" knocking sounds are from her hitting the wooden posts with the shackles.

Hearing Ethan's voice, the little girl's body trembled slightly. She opened her mouth with great difficulty, but she couldn't make any sound. She just gently pushed the shackles on her hand and knocked on the wooden post.

"Duk...duk...duk..."

Seeing her appearance, Ethan finally realized that the shackles on her hands are Hailoushi handcuffs, right?

This child is still a devil fruit ability user?
Ethan thought for a while, then put his left hand into the wooden pillar, trying to touch the shackles on her hands, but since the space was really not very spacious, Ethan accidentally touched the girl's hand, which scared her so much that she immediately opened her eyes. Opening her eyes, she looked at Ethan in horror, but at this moment her body was already quite weak, otherwise she would definitely hide away, but she still retracted her hands as much as possible.

"Don't be afraid." Ethan comforted softly, "I want to help you."

Maybe it's because Ethan's face is easier to gain people's trust, or because he is too weak to do anything, but the girl finally relaxed and handed back her hand, allowing Ethan to touch Hailoushi. handcuffs.

"Ding, 50 energy has been charged."

"Sure enough, it's Hailou Stone..." After hearing the prompt, Ethan withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Try it now, your strength should gradually come back, right?"

The girl's expression was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then became a little suspicious, but soon changed to an "unbelievable" expression.

"How...how come..." The girl opened her mouth, and now she has not completely shaken off that feeling of weakness, and her voice is also very soft, like a soft whisper.

"Now is not the time to be surprised." Ethan looked around. It was a closed room. There was a door on the wall behind him. If someone approached, he would definitely feel it in advance, "Who the hell are you, they Why are you locked up here?"

Speaking of this, the girl's eyes were filled with tears, but she stood up and stood up, holding back the tears and said firmly: "I am Noya, the princess of the Principality of Brela in the West Sea. They locked me up because they wanted to Send me to...the Chambord Islands...and sell me as a slave!"
