Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 112 The Irresistible Existence

"Chambord Islands?" Ethan frowned, "Are they really human traffickers?"

"Yes!" Noya gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously, "Please help me, there is a turmoil in my country, my father is still in the country, I want to go back and help him!"

"..." Ethan was silent. He was not a reckless man who would agree to anything on the spur of the moment. Although the fact that the girl was locked up on the boat made Ethan very suspicious of the bearded people, but this girl obviously also agreed. Not telling the truth.

It is important to know that all countries in the world have joined the alliance of the world government.So, to kidnap the princess of a country under the world government, and go to the Chambord Islands for auction?
What are they trying to figure out?

Not to mention that they also used Hailoushi handcuffs... how can a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old calmly deal with this kind of thing and find a way to ask for help?This "princess" is definitely not simple.

Seeing that Ethan didn't reply for a long time, Noah was a little anxious. She frowned and said, "Looking at you, you should be a temporary guard recruited on this ship, right? Tell me, what will happen if they find you here?" How about it?"

When she said this, her upper body was still leaning back slightly, and Ethan could even feel her body tense up, in such a way that he could retreat a large distance at any time.

"You...you are really a smart ghost." Ethan couldn't help but praised Noya, and Noah was taken aback by what he said.

"Don't threaten me, but you are still ready to escape at any time. Are you afraid that I will kill you? Hmph, I can make the Hailoushi handcuffs in your hand invalid, and naturally I can restore their effects instantly. Judging by your appearance, it seems After touching Hailoushi, you are so weak that you can't even speak?" Ethan talked eloquently, and his expression became worse and worse when he told Nuoya directly.Of course, he was just bluffing. The Hailou Stone failed because the energy contained in it was absorbed by the system. If it were to restore its effect, it would be bragging.

Speaking of it, no matter how strong Nuoya is, in the final analysis, she is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Seeing that all the methods she thought of in a hurry were useless, she couldn't help but shed tears.

But even when she was venting her emotions, she still raised her hands that were bound by shackles, covered her mouth tightly, and lowered her head to prevent herself from crying.

She was afraid, she was afraid of being heard, causing Ethan to really restore the effect of Hailoushi, and then she would really only be left with despair.

Seeing this scene, Ethan's heart softened after all, why did he have to be so serious with a little girl...

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I didn't say I won't help you." Ethan whispered helplessly, he really couldn't help but watch the girl cry, no, it's better to say that, a girl who doesn't let Yi People Sen hates crying in front of him will make him want to do something involuntarily.

Hearing Ethan's words, Noah immediately raised his head, but his tear-stained face was full of surprise.

"You... would you like to..."

"I have conditions."

"No problem!" Nuoya agreed straight away. Although her tears stopped, her eyes that were already red from crying still felt like pear blossoms with rain.

"You don't even ask me what my conditions are..." Ethan shook his head helplessly, and sat down against the wooden pillar, "My conditions are actually very simple, tell me the truth."

"Huh?" Noah was taken aback when he heard the words, and began to look away from Ethan.

"I said, if you want me to help you, just tell me the truth. Your background, the reason why you were locked up on the boat, and..." Ethan tapped the Hailoushi handcuffs that bound her wrists, "it."

Noah was silent.

Ethan shook his head: "What you just said is really full of loopholes. If you want me to help a stranger, I can't even know anything about this person, can I?"

Having said all this, Ethan felt that he had exhausted all his benevolence. Seeing that the little girl named Nuoya was still silent, Ethan stood up and said, "In that case, there is nothing I can do to help you. I won’t let your Hailoushi handcuffs take effect anymore, and in exchange, you don’t want to reveal that I’ve been here. In other words, I’m actually not afraid of them knowing about it, it’s just a big deal and it’s just a two-shot.”

While talking, Ethan had already returned to the bottom of the hole in the floor of his room. At this moment, Nuoya whispered behind him: "Please wait..."

The corner of Ethan's mouth curled up into a smile, he turned around, and sat down in the position he had just now very naturally: "You can talk now."

"...Before I say this, I want you to promise me that you will at least listen to me, okay?" Nuoya thought for a while.

"Of course." Ethan readily agreed.

Then Noah organized his language and said slowly: "The Principality of Brela in the West Sea is my hometown. My father is indeed the current king of the Principality of Brela, and I am indeed the princess of the Principality of Brela."

"Then why did you end up like this? As far as I know, even if there is turmoil in the country, the country recognized by the world government can request naval support?" Ethan asked.

Noah was silent again, but this time Ethan didn't speak out again. He knew that the result of this question was the key to Noah's hesitation.

After a long time, Nuoya finally said three words: "Gold in the sky."

"Heavenly gold?" Ethan raised his eyebrows, "Tianlong people?"

Nuoya nodded: "My father...Although he can be regarded as a king of benevolence, he is not a qualified king. With his efforts, the country's financial situation can only barely meet the food and clothing of the whole country. But that day The annual Tianshangjin...Even in recent years, I have started to help him formulate some financial management policies, but the policy needs time to improve bit by bit, but this year's Tianshangjin...No matter what, we can't afford it gone."

"so…"

"Do you know?" Nuoya suddenly raised his head and said bitterly, "If a country can't pay the heavenly gold, what will happen? If we can't pay the heavenly gold, under the direction of the Tianlong people, the government It will be announced that our country will no longer be under the protection of the world government. There are five mafia families in the West Sea that have been eyeing us, and at that time, our country will immediately become a paradise for those bandits to do whatever they want!"

The flame in Ethan's hand kept beating, flickering.

"So... those ministers immediately took my father hostage, and forcibly sent me and some of the treasures they gathered together!" At this point, Nuoya clenched her fists tightly, and just returned the pear blossoms with rain. His face was already full of anger at the moment.

"Let me guess." Ethan suddenly said, "Such a thing like a human trafficker, the navy that collects money from the sky is definitely not willing to do it, right? So the ministers of your country asked On the 'deep current'?"

"Yes..." Noah nodded.

"But I still don't understand, gold in the sky, those ministers in your country really think that sending the princess away will satisfy the Tianlong people?"

Noah was silent again, she suddenly stretched out her hand and touched the back of Ethan's hand, a strange thing happened, Ethan only felt the back of his hand go cold, under the light of the fire, the back of his hand shone brightly!

But the back of his hand obviously hasn't changed much... No, it can't be changed, it feels a lot cleaner... Ethan raised his head to look at Nuoya, and found that many white foams appeared on his body, under the firelight Against the backdrop of the red-golden light.

"I'm a bubble man who ate the 'bubble fruit'... I was playful when I was a child, and I accidentally ate a very unpalatable fruit, and I became like this...The group of ministers, they said...say..."

Ethan raised his hand empathetically: "If you really can't say it, you don't have to. I understand."

"No! I will never forget these words for the rest of my life!" Noah took a deep breath, "They said, 'Maybe the noble dragons need a human-shaped soap'."

Ethan just watched in silence as Noya's eye circles turned red again, but she still stopped her tears and her little mouth was stubbornly closed.

"So, at first, you were afraid of me and your status as 'gold in the sky', so you didn't dare to help you?" Ethan teased.

Noah nodded.

Her worry is not unreasonable. In this world, there is an existence that cannot be offended no matter what, and that is the Tianlong people. Ethan, who has been in this world for so many years, is already very familiar with this iron law.

This girl... Ethan stared at the foam on her body. Ethan remembered that this ability seemed to fall on CP9 people in the future, and the ability of the devil fruit will only reappear after the current user dies. .

In other words, without his intervention, the girl's original fate would have been to be sent to the holy land of Mariejoa, where she was tortured to death by the Tianlong people.

Feeling Ethan's long silence, Noah was almost desperate: "I understand... Are Tianlongren really an existence that cannot be violated?"

"Hmph..." Ethan smiled coldly, "I can't violate it? Little sister Noah, although the vast majority of people in this world are afraid of Tianlongren, I am not among the majority."
