Strongest Haki Master - Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Aili’s Sister
Since he had a bunch of coolies, Rudra naturally didn’t have to worry about sailing anymore. He just needed to be a hands-off boss.
So he ordered the first mate to find a lounge chair and lie comfortably on the deck to bask in the sun.
“It seems that it’s time to recruit some partners, otherwise I can’t sail far alone.”
Rudra finally realized the problem of specialization and began to consider recruiting partners.
“A navigator is a must, and then a shipwright, a doctor, and two more thugs like Zoro would be perfect!”
Rudra counted on his fingers.
Steal the coolies from the Lone Wolf Pirates? Forget it, those guys can only be considered as petty thieves in places like East Blue, and what can you expect from them on the Grand Line?
It’s good not to be dragged down by them, after all, Rudra has seen too many teammates who are like pigs.
So his idea is that the crew is more about quality, not quantity.
Just like Luffy and his gang, there are only a few of them, but they have made such a big name on the Grand Line.
“Hey, when can I find a suitable partner.”
Rudra stretched helplessly.
“Big brother, hello.”
A timid voice sounded in Rudra’s ears.
“Huh?”
Rudra sat up and looked over.
The one who called him was a little girl who looked only ten years old.
The little girl was not tall, wearing a simple coarse cloth dress, and her face was a little dirty. But this could not hide her delicate features.
If she was washed and changed into a beautiful dress, she would definitely be a real beauty.
“Huh? Little sister, are you also robbed by them in Shell Town? Why haven’t I seen you?”
“I have been hiding beside Aunt Domi.”
The little girl whispered.
“Is that so? What do you want to talk to me about?”
“I… I want you to help me find my sister.”
“Looking for my sister? What’s the matter?”
Then the little girl explained her purpose to Rudra.
The little girl’s name was Aili, and she was also kidnapped from Shell Town by the Lone Wolf Pirates. However, unlike other kidnapped women, Aili was not from the town, but followed her sister from other places.
Because her sister said she had something to do, she asked her to wait alone in the hotel. Unexpectedly, she encountered the Lone Wolf Pirates who came to rob the town, so she was separated from her sister.
After hearing this, Rudra immediately agreed to Aili’s request.
Anyway, he would need to stay in the town for a while to deal with the spoils, so he would help little Aili find her sister!
…
Two days later, Shell Town.
Rudra’s ship slowly docked in the port.
When the group of rescued women got off the ship, they were immediately recognized by the busy workers at the port.
“Look! Isn’t that Domi? She’s back!”
“And Shef and Jasmine are here too!”
“Oh my God, all the women kidnapped by the Lone Wolf are back!”
The port of the entire Shell Town was boiling!
The news that the kidnapped women had returned safely spread quickly throughout the town. Soon, the families of these women heard the news and rushed to the port to greet them.
Seeing these women hugging and crying with their families, Aili beside Rudra showed a lost look.
“Maybe sister hasn’t finished her business yet. Let’s go to the hotel to ask about it later, okay?”
Rudra comforted.
Aili nodded obediently.
…
Rudra returned all the women to their families in a grateful voice. And he also returned all the treasures that Lone Wolf had robbed from the mayor to the townspeople.
Therefore, he felt the gratitude of the townspeople again.
After dealing with these, Rudra set about dealing with the pirates on the Lone Wolf.
This mob would only waste food if they continued to stay on the ship, so Rudra decided to send them all away. Of course, he couldn’t help but warn them before leaving, so that they would not do evil again.
Naturally, they nodded in agreement and then dispersed.
Only then did Rudra take Aili to the hotel in the town.
Unfortunately, during the time when Aili was robbed, his sister had not returned to the hotel. Rudra could only comfort Aili and tell her not to worry, and promised to accompany her to wait in the hotel for a while.
Aili, of course, listened to Rudra’s instructions and agreed.
So the two sat down in the hotel and prepared to eat something first.
“Have you heard? Count Baroque in the neighboring town was assassinated!”
“Really? God has opened his eyes, and that b*****d has finally been punished.”
“Alas, it’s a pity that he was not killed.”
“What happened?”
Rudra’s ears moved and heard what the two students at the next table were talking about.
“I heard that it was a female thief who disguised herself as a servant and sneaked into Baroque’s house to assassinate, but was discovered and failed. The female thief is still being hunted by Baroque’s top thug.”
“Did she catch her?”
“I don’t know, anyway, this matter is quite a big deal. I heard that the female thief fled to our town. Aren’t the Marines looking for her everywhere?”
“What! I was wondering why there were Marines everywhere in the town. It turns out they were trying to catch people.”
Rudra was shocked.
What is the identity of this Count Baroque? Even the Marines were alarmed?
And this female thief seems to be no simple matter.
At this moment, a group of fully armed Marine soldiers rushed into the hotel lobby and began to search the hotel.
“Has anyone seen this person? If someone reports and confirms that the information is true, they can get a government reward of 100,000 Baileys!”
One of the Marine soldiers held up a wanted order and gestured to the people in the lobby.
After the soldier showed the photo, Rudra felt that the little Ellie beside him was trembling.
“What’s wrong, Ellie?” Rudra asked in a low voice.
“Brother Rudra, the person in the photo… is my sister.” Ellie answered in a low voice with horror on her face.
Ellie’s sister is the female thief! ?
Judging from the conversation between the two people next to him just now, the Baroque Count should not be a good thing.
So Ellie’s sister should have a reason for doing this.
“Don’t be nervous, Ellie, I’ll help you find a way!”
Just as Rudra was thinking about how to help, a shout came from the street outside.
“Found it! The female thief is in the church east of the town!”
