Power of Shendu in One Piece - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Who are you?

Blaze entered into the room, and sit on his bed.

Red Hair girl followed him without any fear.

She stand in front of Blaze.

Blaze thought for a second, and asked: “Who are you?”

Blaze question is bit unnatural, but girl smiled and said.

“I am Muret, slave of Mr. Sarquiss. I have bit of knowledge about medicine.”

Hearing the answer, Blaze became confused.

“Slave of Sarquiss?”

Muret nodded her head, and pulled her collar to show the slave neck band.

“Yes, he purchased me from the slave auction house.”

Hearing this, Blaze face darkens.

This Sarquiss, how many thing he did on Lvneel in just a small time.

He collected so much information, buy slaves, recruit crew, and even select the ship.

He is really talented in managing.

Blaze looked at her, “Don’t worry about the slavery thing. I will tell Sarquiss to open the slave collar. You can live your free life on the next island.”

Muret shook his head, and said: “I not gonna leave. If you don’t want me, just kill me!”

Her eyes and word have no fear of death. She even looking forward to it.

Blaze rubbed his head.

When Blaze himself was a slave, he saw a lot of people like that.

Even his favourite character named Koala in Revolutionary Army, she was like that.

Slavery literally ingrained to their bones.

Almost like House-elf in Harry Potter world.

Blaze combined his voice with Conqueror Haki, just like BigMom do it, and shouted: “Sarquiss, you bastard! Come here!”

Entire ship vibrates, and few weak heart people fainted once again.

Sarquiss body also trembles when he heard this sound.

On the other hand, Muret, who didn’t have panic, she was also holding her ears, and trying to hide in the cornor.

Sarquiss immediately rushed into the Captain’s room, and when he saw Muret crying in the corner while holding her head, and Blaze sitting on the bed angry.

“Captain, did she do something? I gonna teach her lesson!”

While saying that, Sarquiss take out the slave control button.

Its just before he can press the button, Blaze instantly appeared in front of Sarquiss, and directly hold his neck to lift him from the ground.

Unconsciously Blaze’s conqueror haki is vibrating the entire ship, and if it gonna crumble.

Everyone on the ship was trembling in fear.

What the hell happened?

What did that fucking girl to do make Captain so angry?

Does she have death wish?

Its just no one dare to go forward, and check.

Blaze punch landed on Sarquiss stomach with huge power.

He felt his body crumbling, and he fall on the ground, and started coughing.

His eyes are full of blood and confusion, he asked: “Captain, why?”

Blaze pointed to Muret, and asked: “Tell me, who is she?”

Sarquiss looked towards Muret in shock, and thought he must have missed something.

She might be a spy.

“I don’t know, Captain! I bought her from slaves market, because she looks good, and also have medical knowledge. As for the past, seller said her parents are both famous doctor. I didn’t know that she is a spy.”

Sarquiss coughed blood, and answer.

“I am not spy!” Muret said while trembling.

“Sarquiss, we are pirates. We are not bound by any rules, and we search for freedom and adventure. Right?”

Dev voice soften, and said.

Sarquiss heard this, and still don’t understand what is going on.

“You don’t under Sarquiss, because you lived a good life.

When I got on your boat, didn’t I tell you I hate slavery? My goal is to search for ultimate freedom. And that ultimate freedom is, One Piece.

If you don’t even understand that, it would be better if we sepa….”

Before Dev can finish, Sarquiss immediately stopped him.

“Stop it captain! I understand, and I am sorry! But don’t ever talk about walking separate path.”

Sarquiss eyes are filled with tears. He stand from his place with trembling leg, and went to Muret, who really don’t know what is happening.

Sarquiss opened her Slave Collar, and said: “Miss Muret, you are free. I am sorry, I didn’t do this before.”

Muret looked at Sarquiss and then at Blaze, and unconsciously her eyes are filled with tears.

This is the first time Muret actually shown her emotion.

Blaze and Sarquiss didn’t stop Muret from crying.

But for the first time, Sarquiss thought situation from other person prospective.

Sarquiss finally looked at Blaze, and said: “Captain, we gonna fight and die for the Freedom!”

Blaze have a bright smile, and said: “Yes, that our pirate way of living! We will only bully the strong, not the weak. Only weak and pathetic bullies the weak.”

While both gave high five to each other.

After that, Sarquiss clean the blood at the corner of his mouth, and walked out of the room.

And just outside the room, he saw Bellamy standing in confusion.

Bellamy repeating the word, “We will only bully the strong, not the weak. Only weak and pathetic bullies the weak….”

Bellamy remembered how he attack the civilian when he was on Lvneel island.

Although Captain didn’t saw it, but Bellamy know what he did.

If captain knows, then what happened to Sarquiss, the same thing will happen to him.

Just thinking of this, cold sweat covered his entire back.

…..

On the other side, Blaze looked at Muret, who started to calm down.

He smiled, and said: “See Muret, now you are free. You can deboard the ship on the next island, and start your new life.

With you medical knowledge, you can definitely earn a decent living, and have bright future.”

Muret immediately shook her head, and said: “No, You are my master. I will die before living this place.”

Blaze didn’t get angry, and said: “Muret, you don’t understand what kind of life you are choosing.

We are the pirates who gonna challenge the entire world.

Marines, Bounty Hunter, Pirates… everyone will be our enemy.

Do you think you can survive?”

Muret eyes were firm, and said: “I don’t care about the survival. I just need to follow my master.”

Blaze shook his head again.

“What I need is partners, not slaves! I want people who have dream! Do you have dream?”

Blaze a very tough question towards Muret.

Muret is the person born on Allcure Island. That is the island who have highest medical technology. Literally every 3rd person you meet is a doctor there.

3 years ago, on an unfortunate night, she along with her parents returning after curing the King of Oscur Kingdom.

Redscarf Pirate attacked the ship, and killed all people who can’t be sold as slave.

Yes, that was the same Redscarf pirate, who enslave Blaze.

Its just at that time, Muret was just 12 year old, just like Blaze.

So auction house started her training. Which makes slavery ingrained to her bones.

It will slowly be removed.
