I said no chapters during weekends, but consider it a thank you for all comments and reviews.
--
Under the blue flames, you can see the serious expression on the girl's dirty face, and her big, intelligent eyes are particularly eye-catching.
"Fine, I'll save you this once," Marco said, shaking his head helplessly. He tapped the lock with one hand and released the girl.
"Thank you," she said.
"You're welcome. A storm is coming outside, what you'd call the 'worst weather'." Marco smiled rarely as he looked at the girl. "It's time to show your real skills."
"Huh?!" The girl snorted, touching her dirty face pitifully. "I... I'm not ready."
Really... What a boastful girl!
Marco spread his hands. "What do you need to prepare?"
"I..." the girl hesitated, her big, intelligent eyes flickering at Marco before finally saying, "I think... I need to take a shower."
Marco: "...!"
"Isn't it embarrassing?" The girl's face turned red... How could she tell a strange man about something as private as bathing? Fortunately, her dirty appearance covered her blushing.
"Go wash up. The rainstorm is likely to come again soon. You can go to the upper cabin to find the bathroom yourself," Marco said with an indifferent smile.
He didn't expect this girl to actually be a navigator, nor did he expect her to steer the pirate ship. He had inherited some knowledge about steering from his original memories, so he could rely on himself.
"That's great!" The girl smiled excitedly, showing two small tiger teeth. She looked at Marco and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Belivia. What's your name?"
"Marco."
"Nice to meet you!"
Marco: "How happy?"
Belivia: "...!"
Marco shook his head. This girl was not only boastful but also naive and simple. She had just come out of a cage, and yet she was happy?
God knows why the Beast Pirates didn't slaughter her. Maybe because she was ugly? Marco, who couldn't see the girl's face clearly, thought so.
For such a girl to survive on this treacherous sea was simply... marvelous.
Marco turned to leave. He had to go to the upper cabin to find something to eat. He had been independent since childhood, and his cooking skills were still good. As for the girl, he didn't take too much care. Anyway... they would definitely part ways at the next island.
Belivia was like a kitten, tiptoeing behind Marco. Her mind raced, wanting to find something to talk about, but she couldn't think of a topic, so she could only silently go to the bathroom.
Time passed, and more than an hour went by.
The sky outside grew darker, and light rain began to fall, washing the deck.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Marco knocked on the bathroom door and thought, can girls really take this long to wash? It's been more than an hour, and she hasn't come out yet... "I made some food. If you're hungry, come and eat something."
A girl's voice came from inside, "Okay! Right away!"
Squeak!
As soon as Marco turned around, he heard the sound of the door opening. He couldn't help but turn his head, just wanting to speak, but was stunned for a moment—
The black hair, originally tied in a ponytail, had just been washed and hung straight over her half-exposed shoulders. A delicate little face still retained a purity and innocence. Wearing a large, loose white shirt on her upper body, Belivia tucked the hair around her earlobe, revealing two white little tiger teeth, and smiled sweetly. "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry! I've always been well-fed and not a picky eater since I was a child!"
Nice and cute... Kid. Girl.
"Follow me," Marco said, shaking his head to clear the confusing thoughts in his mind. Soon, he led Belivia to the dining area.
"Wow! So much delicious food!" Belivia exclaimed with a beaming smile upon seeing the table full of delicacies. "It's almost making me drool just looking at it. It must be delicious! I'm going to eat!"
"Let's eat," Marco said.
Marco wondered if he had misunderstood Belivia. This girl... It seemed that she had nothing to do with ugliness at all. Was it true that the pirates in the past did not kill her because they really valued her... excellent navigator status? Perhaps the dirty look on her face before was deliberately created by her... After all, this was a girl who looked simple but was actually smart! She looked a bit similar to Nami.
"Delicious! Delicious, delicious, delicious! So delicious! I've never eaten such good food!" Belivia kept exclaiming while eating. She used a small fork in her right hand to pick up a piece of cut roast meat, eating it gracefully, while with her left hand, she used a knife to pry open a huge golden crab shell...!
In the end, Belivia ate less than a fifth of what Marco ate...
After finishing cleaning up the dishes and utensils, Belivia stood to the side, looked at Marco lying on the deck chair, and asked curiously, "What about the original pirates on this pirate ship?"
"Dead."
"Are they all dead?"
"They're all dead."
"They... They were all killed by you?"
"Hmm."
Belivia's petite body trembled. She covered her small mouth, her face full of surprise. "You... Hundreds of pirates... You alone, killed them all...?!"
Prick~~~~!
At that moment, lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated Marco's face.
Thunder~~~!
Whoo-la-la~~!
Thunder suddenly exploded, the rain became heavier and heavier, and finally... The storm arrived!
"Not good!"
Belivia was suddenly startled, no longer concerned about Marco's answer or her previous surprise. She hurriedly ran out of the cabin...!
