"Slaves?"
Xia Luo said indifferently.
Then he walked up to the little girl.
Although the girl's face was covered in ash, her beautiful features were still evident.
"No wonder she was captured and made a slave!"
Xia Luo murmured as he looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl blushed slightly under Xia Luo's gaze.
After all, Xia Luo had long golden hair, a strong build, and due to the battle, his clothes were slightly torn, revealing his well - toned muscles from years of training.
Xia Luo looked at the lock, then with a tug, the lock snapped.
Xia Luo opened the door and let the little girl out.
It turned out there was more than one girl inside.
Four more girls walked out one after another!
"I've killed all the pirates above. You're free now."
Xia Luo said to the five young and charming girls.
The five girls' originally dim eyes immediately brightened.
Xia Luo ignored them and walked up to each cell in turn, breaking the locks on them one by one.
The people imprisoned inside walked out one after another.
After finishing all this, Xia Luo walked out with his hands in his pockets.
Since he'd come across these poor people, it wouldn't hurt to save them.
Anyway, he hated slavery.
After leaving the dim cabin, Xia Luo took a deep breath.
He'd only felt a wave of despair inside the cabin. Xia Luo was sure he wasn't wrong. With his special Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), he could sense their despair.
This feeling was terrible.
No wonder that Barloric Redfield liked to be alone. Having the Kenbunshoku Haki that could read minds really made one feel what others felt!
"Phew!"
He let out a soft breath.
Xia Luo grabbed the box full of berries and walked off the pirate ship.
"Sir!"
Just as Xia Luo was about to leave, that familiar female voice rang out again.
Xia Luo turned around and frowned at them.
"What's the matter? You're free. What do you want with me?"
Xia Luo was a bit impatient.
He just wanted to leave.
The girls exchanged glances.
Then they immediately knelt in front of Xia Luo.
"Please take us in, sir. We're willing to work like oxen and horses to repay you!"
It was still the same girl as before.
The strong emotions expressed by the five girls really gave Xia Luo a headache.
He could sense that they were sincere.
"Why?"
Xia Luo asked.
After hearing his words, everyone fell silent, and a wave of sadness filled the air.
This annoyed Xia Luo even more.
He found that having overly strong Kenbunshoku Haki wasn't a good thing.
"Sir, we have nowhere to go because our kingdom couldn't pay the Tenryuubito Tribute (Heavenly Tribute) and was frequently attacked by pirates. As a result, the whole kingdom has fallen, and the island has become a desolate place. We're the only survivors. The pirates kept us because they were attracted by our looks and intended to sell us to slave traders. Please take us in!"
The girl knelt in front of Xia Luo humbly, crying.
Xia Luo was also caught up in her strong emotions.
"Get up first!"
Charlot stepped forward to help them up.
"What are your names?" Charlot asked, and the leading girl immediately replied.
"My lord, I'm Bruce Martha."
With golden hair and blue eyes, she gave Charlot a slight aristocratic curtsy.
The girl next to Martha also introduced herself.
"My lord, I'm Kenneth Jenny."
"My lord! I'm Louise Alice."
"My lord! I'm Hebrew Nell."
"My lord! I'm Janice Gillian."
The five girls introduced themselves.
"Martha! Jenny! Alice! Nell! Gillian! Right?" Charlot looked at the five girls to confirm.
"Yes, my lord!" The five girls replied in unison.
"Alright, from now on, you'll follow me and be my maids. I'm Rockefeller Charlot. You can call me young master from now on." Charlot said casually.
"Yes, young master!" The five of them replied in unison.
Charlot nodded in satisfaction.
Having these five pretty little girls as his maids wasn't such a bad deal for him.
Those who could be sold as slaves mustn't be bad.
"Come with me!" After saying that to them, Charlot turned around and walked towards the port.
As for the others, Charlot didn't care at all. He wasn't their parents. If they wanted to live, they had to rely on themselves.
"Hey! Wake up, wake up for me!" Charlot walked over to Ivan and kicked him with his foot.
Since Ivan was knocked out by his [b]Conqueror's Haki[/b], he still hadn't woken up.
Not to mention Ivan, even the others were lying unconscious on the dock.
He never expected that the power of his first awakening of [b]Conqueror's Haki[/b] would be so great!
Charlot was secretly shocked in his heart.
After kicking Ivan in the kidneys, Ivan finally woke up groggily.
"O! Boss!" Ivan was startled at the sight of Charlot and then surveyed his surroundings.
"Th! The pirates?" Ivan panicked and looked around but didn't see any pirates. He only saw corpses and the townspeople lying on the ground.
Charlot pointed at the pirate's head.
Ivan looked in the direction Charlot was pointing.
His eyes popped out instantly.
The pirates who were just slashing around were actually beheaded and hung on the flagpole.
"Th! Th! Boss, did you do this?" Ivan pointed at the heads tremblingly and said in disbelief.
Charlot nodded.
What a coward his little brother turned out to be!
"Get up quickly. These five people are entrusted to you. They'll be my maids. Train them well!" After saying that, Charlot ignored Ivan, the useless guy.
He had trained with him for three years. However, he couldn't even withstand [b]Conqueror's Haki[/b]. How could he have such a useless subordinate?
The angrier he thought, the more he walked straight back to his mansion.
It was almost dark, and he was extremely hungry after the battle.
After returning to the mansion, Charlot understood why the town was so quiet.
It turned out that everyone had fainted.
His Conqueror's Haki actually covered the entire town.
All the way, there were unconscious people everywhere.
When Xia Luo got home, there was no one to cook for him.
After Xia Luo got home, Ivan came over with five little maids.
"Ivan, you're just in time. Go and fix me something to eat. I need to regain my strength," Xia Luo said, looking at Ivan with his indifferent eyes.
Ivan bowed respectfully and led the five little maids to the kitchen.
Although Ivan wasn't very strong, he knew how to handle things to Xia Luo's liking.
That's why he'd been by Xia Luo's side for four years.
Xia Luo sat on the sofa and began to recall the recent battle.
He awakened his [b]Conqueror's Haki[/b] in a moment of extreme exhilaration.
This feeling made his mind extremely clear, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort and pleasure.
It was a feeling he could only experience after a crazy killing spree.
"Could it be that I enjoy killing? Does that make me a butcher? When did I become such a psycho?" Xia Luo said, stroking his chin.
