Chapter 203 Long-eared Boy
...
It was a clear day and the flare was not as obvious as it would be at night, but the sudden explosion on the originally quiet island was enough to attract attention.
quickly
A tall figure like a wall slowly approached.
Barrett was back, and he didn't come back alone, he brought a tall and thin young man with him.
The man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with slender limbs and a height of over two meters. However, he was skinny due to long-term malnutrition. He had short, slightly curly golden hair, regular features, a handsome face, and a pair of over-shoulder earlobes. He had the appearance of a Buddha who could save the world, but his eyes revealed a kind of world-weariness and brutality that was completely opposite to his appearance.
"Hey, Enelu! Why are you here? Are you going to live with me on Angel Island? That's great. I was afraid of meeting everyone I knew there. Now it's all right. We can take care of each other in the future."
Before Gel could confirm, Bubulu on the side had already stepped forward and greeted the tall and thin boy enthusiastically.
"Um...it's you, Bubulu. I just want to get out of this damn place. It doesn't matter where I go."
Enelu's eyelids drooped, somewhat disliking the other person being so close to him. He took a step back to create some distance, touched the back of his head, and answered with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Both of them are at the bottom of society and are often bullied. Bubulu, who shares the same suffering, is the only one on Becca who does not laugh at or bully him because he has no wings, so Enel is reluctantly willing to say a few words to him.
"Haha, Captain, this kid has a good eye. It's hard to find such a good seedling even in the ruins of war. I think he has the potential to be trained into a weapon. See if you want to take him away."
After Barrett finished speaking, he saw Ger and Moria looking at him suspiciously. He asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"Hehehe, no."
Ger laughed.
"It's okay. We are just a little curious. We didn't expect that you, Xiaoba, would actually engage in this kind of business."
"Uh? Captain, didn't you say that we should improve the overall combat capability of the team as quickly as possible? Isn't it the easiest and quickest way to bring back suitable children from the battlefield and train them into loyal dogs? This is what we did in the army before."
Barrett straightened up and explained.
Hearing this, Enel frowned with his two seagull-wing-like curved eyebrows and protested:
"Hey, hey, hey, you loyal dog, even though I promised to go with you and I'll do anything as long as you give me a stutter, but there's no need for you to say such harsh things in front of me, right?"
"boom!"
For fear of beating the man to death, Barrett tried his best to control the strength, but the light punch still made the fragile Enielu stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"Asshole! Do you want to kill me?"
Enel covered his head in pain and barked helplessly.
"Shut up! Little brat, you have to rummage through garbage dumps for food scraps to survive, what do you need dignity for? Can it be eaten as food? Remember this! It's an honor for you to be the captain's dog!"
Faced with Barrett's ruthless reprimand, Enel opened his mouth, but finally chose to close it in silence without refutation.
He walked forward, knelt on one knee, and begged Ger.
"Captain, please take me away from this damn place. As long as I am fed, I will do anything!"
Gel did not agree immediately, thinking that although Barrett was very arrogant, he was very good at teaching arrogant people a lesson.
“How harsh!”
Looking at Enelu in front of him, if he has a correct mindset, he is still a very good seedling.
For an ignorant person from Sky Island to develop the Thunder Fruit to that level by himself is definitely a gifted person. He also comprehended the Observation Haki on his own. If he was born in Qinghai, he would not be complacent just because he got the power and think that he is an invincible god in the sky. If he could practice hard in his daily life, he would definitely be extraordinary.
Take a look at Ace, who is also a natural type and has the blood of the Pirate King. In terms of qualifications, he can be regarded as the chosen one, but I feel that Enelu is no worse than Ace. Although he is a dozen years older, Ace has been training hard since he was a child, while Enelu has been half lying down all the way.
Just take him with you for now and educate him properly. It’s not too late to kill him if he grows up astray.
"Have you thought it through? Once you've made up your mind, your life will belong to me! If you have no objection, follow me, Enelu."
After saying this, Gel turned around and walked back with everyone.
Enel looked up and stared at Gel's back for more than ten seconds, then stood up and quickly followed.
Two days later
The flying island whale slowly landed on the cloud bridge between Angel Island and Arpaiado.
"This must be Angel Island and the legendary holy land! So beautiful!"
Enelu and Bubulu's family looked around curiously. Compared to the shabby little village of Bika, this place was like heaven. Bubulu's parents sat on the wheelchair bought by Gel, holding the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, feeling excited and nervous.
Seeing that a large open space had been cleared at the Arpaado Bridgehead, the Shandians and Sky Islanders were working together to build their new home using clouds.
The bustling scene on the construction site brought a relieved smile to Geer's face. He felt that it was not in vain that he had killed so many brain cells to make up stories for them.
"Captain Gul, is the trip going well?"
Ganfor and the chief, who came to greet them after hearing the news, walked onto the cloud bridge. They were a little surprised that Geer had returned after just a few days, so they walked up to him and asked.
The two men also changed out of their usual fine clothes and armor that showed off their status. They were now wearing coarse cloth and safety helmets. They had been working and sweating since early in the morning. They were no longer as glamorous as the God of Sky Island and Chief Shandia in the past, and now looked like old masters on the construction site. However, the spirit on their faces was better than ever.
"Hahaha, good things happen to good people. Of course, a good person like me has an incredibly smooth life!"
Ger walked up to them, shook hands, and replied with a smile.
When the two heard the words, they felt a shameless sense of familiarity coming over them. Yes, it was still the heartless Captain Gir. The two of them laughed in relief.
