"Phew!"Upon hearing that Qingyun hadn't killed Usopp, Kayafinally let out a sigh of relief.However, seeing Qingyun threaten her with Usopp's life, Kaya felt extremely angry, yet helpless."Kaya, you should be willing to board my ship now, right?"Qingyun looked at Kaya and asked again.Kaya looked at Qingyun, bit her lip lightly, and said helplessly:"I… I am willing."Kaya knew about the 'good deeds' Qingyun had done two days prior, and coupled with seeing Qingyun instantly kill Kuro with lightning-fast methods just now, it made her realize that Qingyun was a terrifying and utterly vicious pirate.If she dared to refuse Qingyun again, not to mention Usopp, even others in her mansion and people in the village would suffer.To save them, she had no other choice."Congratulations, Host, for bringing Kaya onto the ship. Please choose Kaya's position."Qingyun smiled slightly:"Very good. From this moment on, you are the apprentice ship doctor of my Neptune.""Go pack your things quickly; we'll be setting sail soon.""Nojiko, Nami, go help Kaya pack her things.""I'm going to kill all the Black Cat Pirates hidden nearby, who Kuro used."As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun turned directly to look for the other members of the Black Cat Pirates that Kuro had exploited.Hearing this, Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya all understood that the reason Qingyun went to kill the Black Cat Pirates was to protect Kaya's village from being harmed by those pirates.This made Nojiko and Nami even more certain that although Qingyun was very domineering, he was truly good to them and would eliminate all their worries.It also lessened Kaya's anger towards Qingyun a bit."You're Kaya, right? I'm Nami, and she's my older sister, Nojiko.""Let's hurry and pack our things, otherwise, if Qingyun comes back after killing the Black Cat Pirates and sees that we haven't packed, he'll definitely take the opportunity to bully us severely."Nami reminded and urged Kaya."That's right."Nojiko nodded affirmingly."Okay, you can come in through the main gate."Kaya looked at Usopp with worry and reluctance, then turned to pack her things.What a pitiful beauty!Entering the mansion, seeing Kaya's delicate and fragile appearance, even Nami and Nojiko couldn't help but light up, feeling compassion.They finally understood why Qingyun had specifically come here for Kaya.Such a beauty, capable of arousing protective instincts, not to mention Qingyun, even they wanted to keep Kaya by their side and protect her.Nojiko quickly walked up to Kaya, took her slender hand, and asked with concern:"Your body is too frail!""Haven't you been eating properly?"Nami followed and came to Kaya's front, looking at Kaya with concern.Nojiko's gentle words and gaze, as well as Nami's concerned look, made Kaya feel a bit warm and safe, and she nodded slightly:"I have.""The reason I am frail is due to my weak constitution and frequent illness.""Miss Kaya, I…"Just then, Kaya's servant, Merry, came before the three, his face full of helplessness.He had witnessed everything just now and was also terrified, simply not daring or able to step forward to protect Kaya."Merry, you don't have to worry about me; I'll be fine."Kaya smiled at Merry.Although Qingyun's method of inviting Kaya was forceful, he did help her resolve her worries.Coupled with Nojiko and Nami's gentleness, Kaya felt that they and Qingyun wouldn't harm her."Mr. Merry, rest assured, neither we nor Qingyun will harm Kaya."Nami said with a smile."Kaya, let's go pack the things you want to take with you."Nami then said to Kaya."Okay."Kaya nodded, then led Nami and Nojiko to pack some clothes, medicine, daily necessities, and some books.When Nojiko and Nami noticed Kaya packing a portrait of Usopp, they both frowned."Kaya, you'd better not take that person's portrait."Nami immediately spoke up to warn Kaya.Kaya was startled and asked in surprise:"Why?""Sigh."Nami sighed helplessly:"Since you've boarded Qingyun's ship, you are basically already his woman.""His possessiveness is extremely strong; if he sees this, he might not do anything to you, but he might act against Usopp.""Nami is right."Nojiko affirmed.Hearing this, Kaya's small face instantly turned pale.Although she was a bit naive, she wasn't stupid.After struggling for a while, she still made up her mind, tearing the portrait with tears in her eyes.After tearing it, Kaya couldn't help but hold the torn portrait and sob.Nami and Nojiko were very distressed; they spontaneously embraced Kaya, one on each side, and gently comforted her.After packing her things, despite her strong reluctance, Kaya still followed Nami and Nojiko to where the Neptune was docked.She and Merry, who had come along, were both stunned by the enormous Neptune."Merry, I'll entrust you with managing my home from now on."Kaya said to Merry, holding back her tears."Don't worry, Miss Kaya.""You must take good care of yourself.""I will always wait for you to come back here."Merry cried profusely, giving Kaya countless instructions."Mm."Kaya took a deep breath and forced a smile:"When Usopp wakes up later, tell him that I… I left with Qingyun willingly, and I already… already have someone I like."As soon as she finished speaking, Kaya could no longer hold back; as she turned and walked onto the Neptune, tears streamed from her eyes.Kaya knew that in the face of Qingyun's powerful strength, Usopp had no chance of getting her back.Rather than letting Usopp come to his death, it was better to break cleanly with him, sever his hopes, and protect him.Nami and Nojiko immediately followed to comfort Kaya.Just then, Qingyun returned after killing all the Black Cat Pirates.Merry, seeing Qingyun covered in blood, couldn't help but tremble with fear again."Qingyun, I beg you, please treat Miss Kaya kindly. Her life has been too hard; she has already suffered so much."However, Merry still gathered his courage, knelt before Qingyun, and pleaded."Kaya will be very happy, rest assured."Qingyun replied indifferently, walking past Merry.Once on board, Qingyun saw Kaya sitting on the deck crying, with Nami and Nojiko sitting beside her, comforting her.He directly moved his mind, making the Neptunebegin its voyage, heading towards Orange Town from the sea.The target was naturally Clown Buggy.However, he didn't want to recruit Clown Buggy as a subordinate, but rather to kill Clown Buggy and obtain the power and the Chop-Chop Fruit.Because he knew that the Chop-Chop Fruit seemed ordinary, but if it awakened, it would be extremely abnormal.Besides, Clown Buggy had a good relationship with Red Hair.If Red Hair came looking for him because Qingyun killed Clown Buggy, it would save him the trouble of finding Red Hair.
