Pirate Codex

"What's going on?" Arthur stepped forward to meet her, took the girl from Kevin's hand, and placed her gently on the ground.

The girl is not big, she looks about seven or eight years old. She is thin and small, dirty and has a lot of scars on her body.

Arthur observed carefully, the girl's eyes were closed tightly, her lips were blue and white and chapped, her short black shoulder-length hair was messy and stuck to her face, her skirt was full of wet marks, and the skin below her calves was white and wrinkled, as if she had been soaked in water. It took a long time.

"Huh, I was just cooking, and I heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw her lying at the door." Kevin described while gasping and stumbling.

Arthur nodded to express his understanding, and then gently probed the girl's nose with his fingers. After confirming that there was airflow, he touched the girl's carotid artery with his index and middle fingers. After feeling the same fluctuations as the heartbeat and confirming that the girl was still alive, Arthur did not dare to Wasting time, he stretched out his right index finger and cast a healing spell on the girl.

Large swaths of pale white light filled the air, following Arthur's thoughts and rushing into the little girl's body to treat her injuries.

At this time, Paul and Henry on one side, and Edward and Bowness not far away, also discovered the situation and surrounded them.

"Hey, Kevin, what's going on?" Paul sheathed his sword and asked with his head raised.

"She fell at our door. I don't know what happened." Kevin stopped breathing, scratched his head, and replied with a confused look on his face.

"She is not from our village." Henry frowned slightly as he looked at the girl on the ground.

"She came from the sea." Bowness said quietly, looking at the white and wrinkled skin on the girl's calves.

This is what happens when your skin is soaked in sea water for a long time.

"It's still some distance from the coast." Edward looked up to the north, secretly speechless.

That's the direction of the sea, about an hour away from the village.

"Go back first." After Arthur released the healing spell and saw that the girl was still unconscious, he picked up the light girl and walked home.

After taking just a few steps, Arthur stopped, turned to the five people who were following behind him and ordered: "Kevin goes back to cook, Bowness comes with me, and the others have finished collecting the fruits first."

"Okay," Paul said in a long voice and with his head downcast.

Henry and Edward nodded without saying a word, turned around and continued their fruit picking practice.

Back in the house, Kevin consciously went back to cooking. Arthur came to the living room and gently placed the girl on the fur carpet in the living room.

Then he shouted to Bowness without looking back: "Come boil some water."

"Okay." Bonis didn't say much, got up and went to the canteen. Only the canteen in the house had a place to boil water.

"Look what Kevin did and bring over some easy-to-digest food." Arthur added.

"it is good"

Under the influence of the treatment, the scars on the girl's body have recovered, and the skin on her calves and below is no longer white and wrinkled.

The girl was wearing a vermilion linen skirt and the same vermilion cloth shoes on her feet. Her body was full of stains and her skin was not fair, it was wheat-colored. She was the same as everyone who practiced hard every day. This also shows that the girl is not a spoiled child. The eldest lady.

He must have suffered a lot, Arthur silently guessed.

But it doesn't look like a drama about a young lady and a princess in trouble.

Arthur, who often accompanied his girlfriend to watch soap operas in his previous life, shook his head slightly, thinking with some regret.

Then he got up and went to the bathroom, washed the sweat towel several times in clean water, then returned to the living room, squatted down next to the girl, put her hair behind her ears, and wiped it gently.

On the face, neck, arms, calves, and soles of the feet, Arthur consciously avoided some indescribable places under the clothes, and carefully rubbed the girl's exposed limbs.

By the time Arthur finished wiping, Bowness had already arrived next to him with hot water and food.

"Is she okay?" Bowness put hot water and broth soaked with broken bread on the table and looked at the girl.

"The treatment should work." Arthur stretched out his left hand to lift the girl's chin, and pressed his right thumb firmly and regularly on the philtral point under the girl's nose.

Not long after, the girl slowly opened her eyes after hearing a squeaking sound.

However, before Arthur could ask, the girl seemed to be frightened and retreated to the corner with her hands and feet, looking at the two people in front of her with panic and wariness on her face.

"You just knocked on the door and fell at my door." Arthur pulled Bowness back a few steps to leave a safe space for the girl, spread his hands, and explained with a smile.

The girl calmed down and seemed to remember something. After looking around for a few times, she looked at Arthur. Under her eyebrows, there was a pair of clear blue and black eyes.

"You must be hungry. If you don't mind, eat something first." Arthur pointed to the hot water and broth on the table.

"Guru~"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a gurgling sound in the girl's belly.

The girl stared fixedly at the broth, swallowed her throat, then looked at Arthur and the silent black man behind her, hesitated, then stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said in a whisper. : "Thank you."

Then he quickly climbed forward using his hands and feet, picked up the pottery bowl containing the broth, and opened his mouth to drink without caring that the broth was scalding his mouth.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it." Arthur greeted hurriedly.

Seeing that the girl slowed down as instructed, Arthur sat down on the spot, put the sword on his left side, propped his cheek with his right hand, and looked at the girl.

However, the more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Why does it feel so familiar? Arthur's brows wrinkled slightly.

Where have I seen her?

With black bangs, big eyes, a tall nose, and a chiseled face, she looks like a seven or eight-year-old girl.

While Arthur was thinking silently, a deeply buried memory quietly emerged.

"Everyone, take a closer look"

Little Arthur was held by his parents by the hands, and looked boredly at the village chief grandfather who was shouting loudly not far away and the hemp-yellow reward list in his hand.

"It's this girl, the most dangerous wanted criminal in our Western Sea, the son of the devil with a bounty of 7900 million Baileys, Nico Robin."

"These are O'Hara's demonic survivors who seek to destroy the world."

"Everyone must be careful when seeing her and report her to me and the Navy as soon as possible."

"This is a very dangerous criminal. Don't be deceived by her appearance. It is said that she sank six warships in the Navy."

At this time, little Arthur's eyes began to turn, and he looked at the upright figure in a navy uniform not far behind the village chief.

Son of the Devil, Nico Robin, prisoner with a bounty of 7900 million Baileys

Arthur's eyes widened, his pupils tightened, and he stared at the girl who was drinking broth.

Yes, that's the face, exactly the same as the one on the reward list

Not only in his memory, after Arthur returned to the village, he would often go to the village bulletin board to remember the major bounty criminals in the West Sea. The most impressive one was Nico Robin posted in the most conspicuous place.

7900 million six naval warships

Who could have known that this seemingly weak girl in front of him would have such amazing bounties and combat prowess.

With such fighting power, I don’t know if I am a match.

Arthur's palms were sweating, and he signaled to Bowness behind him. Then, while staring at the girl, he tried his best to keep quiet, grabbed the scabbard with his left hand, and stood up slowly.
