Pirate: As a Celestial Dragon, I am too handsome

"Do you know Grandpa Lyle?"

Yura sat up from the bed with a sudden sound.

She was very sure that she had never seen Lorne before being caught by Marie Joa. So how did this strange-looking guy in front of her know about Grandpa Lyle?

More importantly, how did he know about the relationship between Grandpa Lyle and himself?

"Um, is this..."

Seeing that Yula finally spoke to him, Lorne smiled and replied: "How about you take a guess?"

Of course it was impossible for him to say that he saw it while watching a "movie", and even if he told it, the other party would not be able to reply to the letter.

But when Yula heard Lorne's answer, she thought that Lorne was teasing her.

Yula, who has been wandering outside the country for 16 years since the country was subjugated at the age of 14, has long been accustomed to such things.

Except for her dead father and Grandpa Lyle, none of the men she had ever met were good.

The atmosphere soon became even stiffer than before.

Lorne saw Yura staring at him and remained silent. After about ten seconds, he coughed again in embarrassment and said: "I have my own intelligence personnel who want to investigate your past." , naturally it couldn’t be more simple.”

As he spoke, he immediately changed the topic and said, "What about that? Do you know why I asked someone to arrest you here?"

"I don't know." Yura replied expressionlessly.

But I understand very well in my heart.

Who among the men who wanted to kidnap her didn't covet her beauty?

If possible, I really wish that I had been an ugly person from the beginning.

That way, she wouldn't have been targeted by those traffickers in the first place, and Grandpa Lyle might be able to survive until now...

Thinking of this, the way she looked at Lorne changed.

When you look like this, no one will care about you growing up, right?

I'm so envious...

Outside the door, he saw that Yula looked at him slightly differently than before. Although he didn't know what this look meant, he still frowned subconsciously.

Um..

I always feel...

It's a little uncomfortable.

Is it an illusion?

He muttered unhappily in his heart, and at the same time continued: "It's because you ate that slippery fruit."

"Slippery fruit?"

Yura blinked when he heard the name, as if it was the first time he heard the name.

That's true.

Before Yura ate the Slippery Fruit, he didn't even know it was a Devil Fruit.

She was just too hungry when she sneaked into the auction venue to steal something. She happened to see a white fruit on the table in front of her, so she picked it up and took a bite...

What happened next was obvious. Because it was so unpalatable, Yura almost fainted after taking that bite.

She swore that even though she had been wandering outside for 14 years and had eaten countless unpleasant things, this was the first time she had seen something as unpleasant as that fruit.

But looking back now, if she had known at that time that just because she took a bite of that thing, she would be targeted by Fu from CP9 and tied to this holy land, she might not even have been beaten to death. Eat that slippery fruit.

"You don't know what the slippery fruit is?" Lorne's eyes widened.

"I don't know..." Yura shook his head in confusion.

Lorne: "..."

If someone else had said this, Lorne might not believe it, but when it came from Yula's mouth, he really didn't think there was any problem.

After all... a woman who is already beautiful enough, why would she need to deliberately eat this slippery fruit?

And in his opinion, except for the fact that his skin is better than before, there is really no difference between this Yula and what he saw in the movie.

"This fruit...is important to you?"

Seeing Lorne fall into silence, Yura took the initiative to ask.

"of course."

Luo Enxin said, this fruit is the only straw that can save my appearance. Do you think Te Meow is important?

"That's it..."

Yura nodded after hearing this, and then showed a beautiful smile under Lorne's surprised gaze, "Then, in order to express my apology, please kill me."

Kill it...

Drop it...

Bar..

The sound echoed inside and outside the cell.

Lorne looked at Yula's face and seemed a little dazed for a moment.

It wasn't that he was fascinated by that beautiful face, but... he really didn't expect that Yula would make such a request to him.

And still with an extremely sincere and relieved expression.

Maybe...she really doesn't want to live anymore.

But thinking about it, her parents and Grandpa Lyle, the relatives who loved her most in this world, have passed away one after another. So what is the point of her living in this world?

Thinking of this, Lorne couldn't help but start to feel a little EMO.

Yes, he is also an orphan without a family in this life. If there is no chance to return to the world of his previous life, then he is not the same as Yula?

"Why.."

Not wanting to pay any more attention to Yura, Lorne stood up, picked up the bench, hunched over, and left dejectedly.

Yula: (⊙_⊙)?

...

"Hiss~~cough cough..."

The lobby on the first floor of the mansion.

Lorne lay on the sofa and took another puff of cigar, his expression becoming extremely melancholy at this moment.

He found that he seemed to have become somewhat accustomed to the taste of this special cigar.

"No wonder, there are many marines in the original book who have such a stick in their mouths every time they appear. They must have a lot of troubles like me, right?"

Lorne muttered under his breath.

At the same time, Ogusge, who had gone somewhere early this morning, suddenly ran in from the door.

"Lord Saint Lokrien!"

"what happened?"

With his hands on the back of the sofa, Lorne held a cigar in his mouth and looked sideways at him.

"It's like this. Master Wulaoxing said that since you have just been recognized by the superiors, you have been assigned a task to complete within a month..."

When Augsger said this, he didn't know what the so-called "recognition" meant. He only heard this from the CP0 personnel who came to report the news, so he told Luo exactly like this. En listened.

"Assign me a task?"

After stubbing out the cigar in his hand, Lorne suddenly sat up from the sofa.

Are these stupid Five Old Stars asking me to receive a chip and raise my level just so that I can help them with their affairs and become their tool?

There was a slightly unhappy expression on his not-so-good-looking face.

Then I heard Ogusge say: "In addition, Master Wulaoxing has also equipped you with some servants and robots. I want you to go to the yard to sign for them now..."
