The position where Charlotte was knocked away was at an angle, so the lion disappeared from his eyes. Presumably the other party thought he was dead and did not pursue him again.

Licking his lips, he showed a complicated expression.

Nami hurriedly ran to Charlotte: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Charlotte pulled away Nami, "It's a good thing I let you take the first step, otherwise the lion would slap you. With a small body like yours, you wouldn't be slapped into pieces." After that, he clicked his tongue. After two sounds, his eyes wandered over her body again.

"Hmm..." Nami nodded, her face a little pale. She didn't expect that this lion was so powerful. She probably knew a little about Charlotte's strength. He was a powerful man who could pick off a dozen pirates at a time. (Your standard for being a monster is really low), but he was still slapped away by a lion.

"Ah! Luffy!"

Nami suddenly exclaimed. She saw Luffy walking out of a dilapidated house like a normal person. He had no surprise on his face and strode towards them.

"You're not dead either? What kind of monsters are you all!?" The mayor was dumbfounded and couldn't speak fluently. "Even the room collapsed, why are you okay!?"

"Do you really want me to die?" Luffy said dissatisfiedly.

"What's your purpose in coming to this town? Why are you related to those pirates?" The mayor was surprised and felt that the two brats in front of him were not ordinary people... Nonsense, how could any ordinary person do that? Flying upside down for more than ten meters and punching through the wall, can everything be fine?

"Does that still need to be said? Of course it's to find the charts and partners of the Great Channel!" Luffy looked at Nami and chuckled, "I'm still waiting for you to join!"

"I will not join the pirates!" Nami spit out her tongue, but her tone was not as decisive and angry as before.

Charlotte sighed, alas, a good person was kidnapped just like that.

But it's not a pity for him, it's not his woman anyway.

"There is no pursuit." Charlotte frowned, "It seems that his target is really the swordsman Sauron."

Luffy nodded: "Well, I'm going to go back to Zoro now to see if the one in the ragdoll costume might be harmful to him."

"Stupid, stupid! If you go there now, you will definitely be eaten by a lion!" the mayor said anxiously.

Charlotte looked at Nami and said in a deep voice, "I'll stay here to protect you, okay?"

"Who, who wants your protection!" Nami was startled by Charlotte's sudden confession of true love, and her face turned red.

"What if the lion comes back?"

"I...you can stay wherever you like. My legs are on you, who can control you." Nami said, but subconsciously walked to the place next to Charlotte, as if she was ready to hide at any time. Behind him, Nami seemed to think of something and couldn't help but smile: "Charlotte, you... are you afraid?"

Charlotte remained calm and said: "Well, that lion is quite powerful. I have no problem winning, but it's probably a miserable victory. There's no hospital nearby, so it's a bit inconvenient."

"...You really admitted it!?"

"Otherwise! Why go up and act like a hero even though you know you can't beat him? I'm not mentally retarded."

……

After 5 minutes, they felt it was time to go back, especially the mayor. He was a little worried about Xiu Xiu's situation. The lion was so powerful. If he really wanted to harm Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu might be in danger.

Nami walked to the corner cautiously, for fear of being heard from a distance. Seeing the cat-like waist and tiptoeing, Charlotte had to work hard to suppress the idea of ​​​​stepping forward to shock her.

"Ah!" Nami suddenly whispered, and immediately covered her mouth again, with disbelief in her eyes, followed by anger, and she murmured in a low voice: "Why..."

When Charlotte heard this, his expression remained unchanged. He seemed to know what Nami saw. He walked out of the corner, looked straight at the street, and said softly: "It's indeed burning."

Where the pet food store used to be, there was a ruin burned by the fire. Wisps of black smoke were still rising. The surrounding area was blackened, leaving only wood that was burned black and broke at the touch of a touch. What kind of pet? Food, what memories are gone.

Xiu Xiu sat motionless, just like before, without whining and very calm. His two once-bright eyes were now dim. Being unable to speak, he could only face the ruins silently.There were many wounds on its body, and the blood seeped into the white fur, which looked particularly dazzling.

This scene is undoubtedly heartbreaking. It has been guarded for a long time, but in the end it was all in vain, leaving only the nothingness and loneliness after the raging flames.

Nami's body was trembling slightly and her nose was a little sore. This scene brought out the softest scene in her heart. Looking at Xiu Xiu, she actually saw herself. Before the absolute violence, she could only be silently angry.Until now, this pain still cannot be completely vented. It can only remain as a scar deep in my heart that hurts all the time.

He glanced at Charlotte and saw an extremely calm face. An unknown fire suddenly arose in his heart. He bit his lower lip and hurriedly walked towards him and grabbed his collar: "You already knew?"

"You can guess a little bit, right?" Charlotte shrugged and stood on tiptoes, "Don't pull my collar, the quality of the clothes is not up to standard."

"Why did you..." Nami couldn't continue. What could she do if she knew?Even Charlotte, who has always been extremely arrogant, admits that he is no match for the lion.Is it possible that she was so shameless that she let Charlotte fight a lion for a dog?

He loosened his grip on Charlotte's collar and did not apologize.

Slowly walked to Xiu Xiu's side.

"Whether it's this guy or that guy, pirates... are all equally hateful..." Nami's eyes flashed with sadness, and her tone became a little deeper: "As long as you are happy, you can take away other people's cherished things. !?"

"Pirates have killed many people around me." Charlotte suddenly said, "But I don't hate them, because I know that in this world, the weak always prey on the strong."

Nami trembled, as if the bottom line had been touched, and turned to look at Charlotte hatefully: "So what if the jungle eats the strong!? Why do they, why do they do this!?" She said, reaching out and picking up Charlotte collar, staring into his eyes.

"Why, what you said is really ridiculous, just because he has big fists! If you could beat Bachi, would you still use the 'steal' method? You would just step on his face and ask him to steal the sea. Hand over the picture, if you can defeat the pirates who occupy your village, will you still work for [-] million!? It’s funny!”

Every word and every sentence of Charlotte's words pierced people's hearts.

Nami wanted to say "I don't know how" loudly and shut up Charlotte completely, but she had no choice. I don't know if she once imagined that it would be great if she could defeat the evil dragon, if she could defeat Bachi in an honest way, and then take it away. His treasures are so satisfying.

That's right...why should I?

Looking at Nami, whose eyes were gradually dimming, Charlotte felt a little inexplicable. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have never changed, and was still the same person who was separated from the 'human beings' The existence and lack of emotion allowed him to look at everything except himself so calmly.

Xiu Xiu's story was very pitiful, but Charlotte didn't care at all. He even cared that this incident would not appear in his memories in the future. After all, it was not worth mentioning to him now.

For a long time, Nami walked away in despair. Charlotte finally couldn't help it, reached out and grabbed Nami's shoulders, and said softly: "You are not wrong."

Nami's eyes shone slightly, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she didn't know how to organize her words: "But, but..."

"Even if you have strength, you will not take pleasure in killing people, nor will you rob other people's property. You will only protect what you want to protect." Charlotte pondered for a long time, the light in his eyes flickered, and his eyebrows were twisted. One piece, his lips moved uncertainly, as if he was fighting a great psychological struggle, but in the end he slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, Nami, I spoke too harshly. You are who you are, and you are different from a pirate."

Nami didn't know how much effort it took for Charlotte to say these words. Even Charlotte herself didn't know why she said such words. Maybe, she really didn't want to see this kind-hearted Virgin Mary. Leah sheds holy tears and then embarks on the path to darkness.

In this regard, Charlotte could only use as relaxed an explanation as possible to ease the complexity in her heart.

Nami hummed and nodded slightly. Looking at Charlotte's forced smile, she felt a little funny. After listening to Charlotte's words, she completely relaxed her mind, and her hatred of pirates actually disappeared. Of course, she still couldn't forgive the viciousness and the lion.

But the utter hatred towards these two guys, Luffy and Zoro, has almost disappeared.

Pirates are also human beings, and they are equally divided into good and bad.

"...Thank you." Nami said softly, as loud as a mosquito, almost undetectable. Charlotte deliberately shouted: "What!? What!?"

"Get out!" Nami reached out angrily and pinched the face that Charlotte had explored. The tentacles were soft and smooth, and she couldn't help pinching again.

"Hey!" Charlotte slapped her hand away.

Nami smiled, crossed her hips and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the chains of hatred were not completely broken, the shackles in her heart had been loosened a bit, allowing people to take a breath.

"Charlotte...it's true." Looking at Charlotte, who was covering her face and looking like her father had never hit me before, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, "Who the hell is this guy! He looked like a child for a moment. , I can say these truths for a while...Forget it, I don't want to guess the thinking of a mental patient."

Charlotte covered her face, pointed forward and said, "He's back."

Luffy slowly walked out of the corner.

The old mayor, who had always kept silent, exclaimed in surprise: "What is that in his hand?" In fact, it was not that he was not speaking, but that in the atmosphere just now, he really couldn't find any room to interrupt.

Charlotte's eyesight was amazing and he chuckled: "Dog food."

Luffy glanced at them, walked straight to Xiu Xiu and sat down, placing the box in front of Xiu Xiu, he smiled and said: "I only got this, the others were all eaten by the lions. "

That was a box of pet food, with a sibilant image printed on the cover.

Charlotte couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough! Not all pirates are bad people, and not every navy is a good person. Everyone is good or bad."

"Yeah." Nami also smiled and nodded. If it was her previous self, she might have cursed when she saw Luffy coming back. However, now she also understands that Luffy, this idiot, is definitely not a bad person, he is just a person who made a promise to his friends. Just a hot-blooded guy who wants to go to the Grand Line.

"You are very brave! You actually fought with that lion for so long! Although the thing has been crushed, you can still see what it is."

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Xiu Xiu wagged his tail, faster and faster, as if he was very happy.

"Captain! Captain!!!"

Just when the atmosphere was warm, an inappropriate voice sounded from a distance.
