MTL - Pirates: Control Thunder and Lightning-Chapter 16 : Katie

"Those who are capable...it's really troublesome."

Nicholas also had some headaches. The ability of Devil Fruits in Pirate World is too outrageous. Even the strong ones are quite troublesome if they are inadvertently attacked.

Some abilities are almost pseudo-invincible, like the natural type and the animal type, which are relatively easy to deal with, but like some superhuman types, they are completely outrageous.

Just as Nicholas was lying on the throne wondering if he should find a chance to ask Xia Qi to help collect a Devil Fruit illustrated book, he suddenly saw an interesting scene in his 'perspective'.

A thin little girl is carefully shuttling in the dirty, dilapidated alley.

And it seems that he knows that there are monsters wandering around in the city now, and he deliberately disguised his body with various garbage and sewage sludge to confuse the sense of smell of those monsters.

Nicholas followed the little girl through the complicated alley, crossed the commercial street, and entered an alley, and then saw the little girl stopped in front of a wall.

Then he looked around vigilantly, and after finding no one else, he labored to move a stone.

After removing the stone, a small hole can be seen under the wall.

After the little girl entered the hole, she labored to move the stone back to its original position.

In Nicholas' "gazing", the little girl moved down the dark cave and looked at the familiar road. It was obvious that this road had been traveled countless times.

"The 'cavemen' in the city? But it's really interesting."

Looking at the destination the little girl went to, Nicholas showed an interested look.

Originally, he thought that many things that happened in his previous life were unbelievable, but after coming to the world of pirates, what he saw was far more unbelievable than what happened in that world.

After all, that world is at least in order. In this pirate world where strength is supreme, the lives of the people at the bottom can be said to be in dire straits.

Soon the little girl passed through the long darkness, and in front of her appeared an underground factory that kept smoking black.

It seems that because it is completely separated from the upper world, the people here still don't know what happened above.

The huge factory was emitting black smoke, and even the dome that could not see the sun was smoked even darker, and a layer of black sky was added artificially. There is no light source.

And the little girl ran carefully towards a rock wall, and you can see which huge rock wall is covered with dense caves, and many of the caves are lying with some very weak life breaths.

There is not even a table or other furniture in these dwellings but a messy mattress.

The little girl hugged the cloth bag in her arms and looked around vigilantly. She knew that these similar monsters were more terrifying than the monsters outside, and she waited until she entered one of the caves.

"Dad, Mom!"

The little girl hurriedly shouted.

In the cave, a pair of thin men and women were lying on the dilapidated bedding. It could be seen that the two had not eaten for a long time. They could all be described as skinny and skinny.

The man stretched out his hand with difficulty, touched the little girl's head, and said weakly, "Katie, be quiet. Mom is asleep, don't wake her up."

"I..."

The little girl looked at the woman who was sleeping peacefully, opened her mouth and said nothing.

Then she seemed to have thought of something, she quickly took out the cloth bag from her arms, unfolded it, and said to the man lying down: "Dad, eat, if you don't eat, you will be taken away like the uncle Jike next door. ."

Seeing the moldy bread in the cloth bag, the man lying down had a gentle smile on his face, touched the little girl's head and said softly, "Katie eat it, and Katie waits until Dad falls asleep, too. You must find a way to get out of here. Daddy knows it can be done with Katie's cleverness."

After finishing speaking, the man glanced at his wife, who was sleeping peacefully beside him. For the homeless people on the sea, sometimes death was a relief.

With a soft sound, the man's hand fell weakly to the ground.

And Katie seemed to realize something, and hurriedly put some moldy bread in the bag into the man's mouth, but no matter how much he put it, the man didn't seem to chew.

Looking at the silent parents, Katie stopped the movement of her hands and tears fell.

With a soft sound, when Katie turned her head, she found a strange person suddenly beside her. His face was not as pale and numb as the people here, his body was obviously very healthy, and his clothes were neater.

"Sometimes human life is so fragile, life itself has no meaning, but life may find interesting things in the process of living, so are you willing to board my boat?"

In fact, Nicholas couldn't save the man in front of him even if he wanted to, because the fire of his life had already become extinguished at any time. In other words, the long-term overloaded labor had already squeezed out his life potential.

Katie heard strange words from the strange guy in front of her and wiped her tears: "Then can you save my parents?"

"I can't do it now, but I might be able to do it in the future."

Nicholas said.

"Okay, then I'll join you."

"My name is Albert Nicholas, and I will be your captain from today."

"My name is Katie Reminis, and from today I will follow Captain Albert Nicholas and become his most loyal follower!"

Katie looked at her parents who were sleeping peacefully, wiped away tears and sniffled, trying to act like a little adult as much as possible.

Nicholas took out a handful of candy from his pocket, tore the package, and handed it to her: "It's very sweet, do you want to try it?"

good smell...

Very fragrant.

Katie looked at the white candy with a strong fragrance in Nicholas's hand, and swallowed hard.

"Eat, my future chef."

Nicholas handed Bellin's homemade candy to her mouth, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Betty finally couldn't help it, she licked it lightly, and just this one sip made her feel unprecedented happiness, is this the taste of candy?

"Let's go, count the time, Beilein and the others should have finished."

Speaking of which, Nicholas decided to get up and walk outside.

Katie followed Nicholas blankly, apparently in her consciousness now that Nicholas would be the one she was following.

When she saw the guards in uniform and armor patrolling around, Katie grabbed Nicholas's shirt and signaled him to hide. After all, in Katie's consciousness, these armored guards were the masters of this underground world.

"By the way, how did you get here?"

As several lightning bolts appeared out of thin air, an entire patrol guard fell to the ground.

"what..."

It took a moment for Katie, who had reacted, to tell how they had arrived.

In Katie's words, they are the refugees on the sea. As for the refugees, they are people who are unable to pay taxes. They are deprived of their identity and can only wander around the sea. People like them are often slave traders. favorite prey.

Katie's parents came here after seeing the recruitment revelation of the Taji royal family. They originally wanted to find a job and settle down, but they didn't expect the Taji royal family to gather them from the pier and bring them directly. Here, the dark work follows.

As for Katie, because she was too young, she escaped.

Katie also discovered the secret passage leading to the above world in the process of going around.

"So, this is the legendary human flesh battery. It's good to scrap it when it's used up. It's really cheap labor."
