Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Kaya shook her head and said, "He never knew I was a Devil Fruit user. The reason he didn't kill me is probably because he wanted to keep me as a subject for hypnosis experiments..."

"After all, what I'm showing is that I'm not easily hypnotized..."

"As for why I didn't warn you, it's because there were so many of them at the time, and I thought you wouldn't be able to hold out until the end..."

"In that case, what's the point of reminding them or not reminding them..."

so…

They chose to join because they truly witnessed our capabilities.

She's really a clear-headed girl, completely different from the naive and innocent character in the original novel...

After giving Kaya a long look and pondering for a moment, Huang Hai smiled slightly, extended his right hand, and said, "Since we have a common enemy, becoming allies is not a bad choice!"

"Welcome to the team, Kaya!"

"It's my pleasure!"

Upon hearing this, Kaya, dressed in a maid outfit, smiled with delight for the first time. She lightly shook hands with Huang Hai with her right hand and said with a cool smile, "Please take care of me in the future!"

··· ·Requesting 0 flowers ········

"Welcome!"

"I hope I'll read less snacks in the future..."

Just as Zoro and Nami were expressing their welcome.

cough!

Usopp, who had been ignored, coughed loudly and stared longingly at Huang Hai, seemingly wanting to say something but too embarrassed to speak.

See this.

Huang Hai smiled slightly, not joking at all, and said, "Usopp! Are you sure you want to join us?"

"But think carefully, once you join, you can't go back..."

"I'll join!"

Before Huang Hai could finish speaking, Usopp immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, even Kaya has agreed to join them, so his pointless waiting is just ridiculous...

"welcome!"

Immediately, everyone present burst into laughter.

at the same time.

The village of Silobu is located near the highest point on the eastern coast.

“They’re finished, Captain Crowe…”

.. ..... ...

Retracting his extended telescope, Zango turned to look at Klo, who had reverted to his human form, and chuckled softly, "Just as you planned, all the remaining trash has been cleaned up..."

"However, there was a slight mishap..."

"It was more than just a minor accident."

Reaching out to touch his severed right arm, a suppressed, cold glint flashed in Chloe's eyes.

"I never expected that brat's knife to be so fast and so sharp! Even with my cat-like reflexes, I couldn't dodge it in time..."

"What a terrifying brat! So... what's their casualty situation?"

"This is what I meant by a little accident..."

Zan shrugged and raised his binoculars, saying, "From what I've observed, they haven't suffered any casualties, not even a single one has been injured."

"They really are a bunch of useless trash..."

Kro adjusted his glasses with his left wrist and said coldly, "So it seems our plan to clear the silt was correct..."

"Otherwise, taking this bunch of trash and burdens to the Grand Line will only lead to our deaths sooner or later..."

"By the way! Are the ship and personnel ready?"

"Everything is ready!"

Nodding, Zango gestured towards the boats on the shore not far away.

A dozen or so figures, resembling cats with sharp claws and cat ears, stood silently in various corners of the large black sailboat, like wildcats capturing their prey.

At the very top of the large sailing ship, a skull and crossbones flag with a black cat design fluttered in the wind.

"good…"

Seeing this, Kro nodded in satisfaction, glanced in the direction of the mansion, and strode toward the ship.

"Captain Crowe..."

Following closely behind, Zango whispered, "That Kaya..."

"We will come back..."

"understand!"

……Nine.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Unknown Fruit!

……

Silob Village.

Inside the mansion.

Tap tap tap tap tap!

Several footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

"All the maids had already been dismissed by Chloe before you arrived..."

Kaya, who was leading the way, seemed to have thawed her cold expression slightly.

"Once I leave, this house will probably be abandoned, after all, so many people died at the gate..."

cough!

Huang Hai and Zoro exchanged a glance, then Huang Hai coughed and said, "It's not that desolate. I'll find some time later to clean up the corpses at the entrance for you..."

"No need, there's no need to waste time."

Kaya gently shook her head. If

"After Uncle Merry, the only butler, was killed by Crow to protect me, this house lost its value..." Water

"Sorry! Kaya..." Fei

Behind the "three," Usopp scratched his head, saying with shame, "If only I had discovered it sooner..."

"Don't talk big, Usopp!"

Kaya reached up and brushed aside the blonde hair that was covering her eyes, and whispered, "If you knew about this situation too early, given your personality, you would definitely cause trouble, and then we might both sacrifice ourselves in vain..."

That's heartbreaking! 9

Having understood what the other person meant, Usopp immediately fell silent. (Seven)

He was well aware that he was currently very weak... 5

So weak that they couldn't even handle those already dead guys outside. (Six)

If Huang Hai and his group hadn't come to this village, Ke Ya's future... 2

Thinking of some terrible consequence, Usopp's hands clenched tightly. (Eight)

"Don't dampen the enthusiasm of our ship's genius sniper, Kaya..." 8

Seeing the changes in their expressions, Huang Hai patted Usopp on the shoulder and said with a smile, "When we get back to the ship, there are many different types of flintlock pistols that I've collected. I'll give them all to you then..."

"Like I said before, guns are the primary weapon, slingshots are secondary! Otherwise, as you saw in the battle just now, once the enemy has too many people or more powerful individuals than ours..."

"When the time comes, whether we continue fighting or find a way to retreat, it will all depend on you, Usopp!"

"give it to me!!"

After a moment of silence, Usopp nodded vigorously.

Although he had never handled flintlock muskets or other firearms, he believed he would become a key member of the group.

I didn't know about Kaya's situation before, but I will definitely protect her well from now on!

"..."

Ahead, a hint of reluctance flashed in Kaya's eyes, but it quickly turned into determination.

Although it is clear that none of this has anything to do with Usopp, weakness is often the original sin!

Having spent so many years by Chloe's side, she was no longer as innocent as she used to be...

Therefore, she is well aware that in this world, neither power nor money is as important as strength.
