The cruel scene of flying flesh and blood made the women scream in terror.
Some even vomited on the spot.
"Hey, what are you all still standing around for? Go! One-Eyed Barrion is dead. No one will trouble you anymore!"
Ye Jia gestured with his mouth.
The women froze.
They seemed a little hesitant to believe.
Someone had come to save them?
One woman immediately stood up, turned around, pulled open the door, and ran.
With the first one, naturally came the second.
Before long, almost everyone present had run away... only one dirty little girl remained motionless.
"I say, they've all run off. Why don't you go with them?"
Ye Jia was a little curious. This little girl in front of him wasn't escaping?
"I... I... I..."
The little girl stammered, her eyes flickering, her small hands rubbing the corner of her clothes. She spoke in a mosquito-like whisper, "I don't want to go back."
"Don't want to go back? Do you want to stay here and be discovered by other pirates?"
Fortunately, Ye Jia's perception ability had also strengthened, allowing him to clearly hear what the little girl said.
"Big... Big brother... Can I... can I go with you?"
After the little girl said this, she buried her head even lower, not daring to look directly into Ye Jia's eyes.
Ye Jia suddenly laughed.
So, I've unconsciously become so charming. Haha!
However, Ye Jia had decided when he set sail that he would not randomly take in people.
He was a pirate, after all, and he would inevitably fight many strong enemies in the future. Who had time to protect a little girl?
Although this little girl looked like she had some... potential. It seemed to be more than just a little potential. That bulging area, wasn't the curvature a bit exaggerated? Was this something a girl who was only 1.5 meters tall and looked only thirteen or fourteen years old should have?
But as a good young man who pursued his dreams and decided to conquer the seas, how could he get lost in such matters?
Look at Luffy, for example. He's pursued by the Pirate World's most beautiful woman, the Pirate Empress, yet he's completely unfazed... No, wait, it seems the Enies Lobby incident just ended, so the Pirate Empress hasn't met Luffy yet, right?
"Sorry, my strength is still meager, and I don't have the energy to protect others. And at your age, you should be living quietly in your village."
Ye Jia flatly refused. "And my ship needs talent; I'm afraid you don't meet my requirements yet."
"I... I... I..."
The little girl looked up, her bright, sparkling eyes filled with eagerness.
Although Ye Jia felt a little unwilling, for his own sake and the little girl's, he had to be firm when necessary.
"I'm a navigator, I can help you!"
However, the little girl's next sentence caught Ye Jia completely off guard.
Navigator?
"You... you're a navigator?"
This time it was Ye Jia who stammered.
He simply couldn't believe that a little girl who looked only 1.5 meters tall and under fourteen years old was the navigator he had been dreaming of for days!
Don't they say that the bigger the chest, the less brainy one is?
Why is reality completely the opposite?
"Really, I'm really a navigator!" The little girl was so anxious she almost jumped up. "My father was a navigator. He taught me knowledge when I was little, but later my father and mother were killed by pirates, and I became an orphan... But I've always been studying the navigation knowledge my father left behind!"
"I'm really a navigator, you have to believe me!"
The little girl was so anxious she almost cried, afraid that Ye Jia wouldn't believe her.
"Navigator... you still need to prove your skills! I have a map here. Help me see where we are now."
Ye Jia took out the map he had been looking at earlier and spread it out in front of the little girl.
The little girl looked at the map as if she had seen a long-lost relative, and quickly leaned in.
"This is the sea area around the Goa Kingdom. Look here, this is the Goa Kingdom. This side is our village. The place we are currently at... is here!"
When the little girl started talking about navigation knowledge, she seemed like a completely different person. "I stayed in the ship for less than ten minutes. According to the ship's sailing speed and the strength of the wind I felt that day, I can determine that we are right here!"
Turns out I drifted at sea for two days and didn't even leave the Goa Kingdom's sea area!
Ye Jia's face was a little awkward.
But at the same time, he was also very excited.Ā I didn't understand before, but now someone who understands is here!
"I'm rich, I'm rich! I met a noble person when I went out! My luck is truly too good, haha!"
Ye Jia picked up the girl and excitedly kissed her on the face.
The girl's expression instantly froze. She wanted to bury her head in his arms, her face flushed with shyness.
"Good! From now on, you're a member of my Reaper Pirates! Hello, I'm Ye Jia, captain of the Reaper Pirates. Welcome to join us!"
Ye Jia smiled brightly, pinching the girl's small hand and gently shaking it, as if greeting her.
"I... I... My name is Gaya Mannie. I'm very happy to join you..."
Gaya Mannie's voice grew softer and softer, eventually becoming almost inaudible.
It was clear that Gaya Mannie was especially happy to be able to join Ye Jia's pirate crew... but every time she saw Ye Jia, especially after her hand touched Ye Jia's large hand, her heart pounded like a deer, unable to stop.
"Gaya Mannie, that's a very nice name... Let's go! I'll take you to our Reaper Pirates' ship!"
Ye Jia placed Gaya Mannie on his shoulder. With a flash, he instantly appeared on the deck.
At this moment, many women were gathered on the deck. They were surrounded by seawater and were not particularly good at swimming. They were all worried about how to leave.
Seeing Ye Jia appear, they immediately knelt down: "Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor!"
"All of you, stand up. No need to be so polite!"
Ye Jia was overjoyed. He had found a navigator, and from now on, he wouldn't have to wander alone on the vast sea.
"From now on, Gaya Mannie will be a member of my Reaper Pirates. Your village will bear the name of my Reaper Pirates. If anyone dares to provoke you, just let them see One-Eyed Barrion's corpse!"
"This ship is still intact; it belongs to your village now. I'll help you sail it back."
The women, hearing that their village would have protection, expressed their gratitude to Ye Jia repeatedly.
They had lived there for many years and knew One-Eyed Barrion's fearsome reputation. Now that even he had died at Ye Jia's hands, and their village would bear the name of Ye Jia's pirate crew, no pirate crew would dare to invade their village again!
