"I didn't ask you to speak, what the hell are you talking about?"

The strong man cursed when he heard that the little girl actually told this person to run away.

With a movement of his hand, he raised a whip several dozen centimeters thick.

When the little girl saw this, she closed her eyes in fear.

The familiar pain did not come, only a "click!" was heard.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant, making her, who was already wearing thin clothes, tremble all over.

"You come with me."

Kuzan stepped forward and spoke.

"..."

The little girl heard the sound and opened her eyes timidly.

He only saw this man with a broken arm standing less than one meter away from him.

She looked up and saw a little white breath coming out of the man's mouth.

"If you want to leave this island safely, come with me."

After Kuzan finished speaking, he turned around and started walking.

The little girl saw this strange man and hesitated for a moment.

"If you don't leave, I won't wait for anyone."

Kuzan sensed the little girl's hesitation and said again.

Hearing this, the little girl gritted her teeth and followed, but when she followed, she looked back.

The scene behind her made her eyes widen.

The pirates she was beating with her whip just now had turned into three transparent and lifelike ice sculptures.

"……."

This was the first time the little girl had seen this kind of thing, but she knew it was probably caused by this person who suddenly appeared.

This man saved her life. Even if he was in danger, he should be much safer than the three pirates who killed her father.

"May I have your name?"

After Kuzan planned to follow the little girl, his steps slowed down to match the little girl's pace, and he spoke.

"...My name is Mi."

Mi said.

"Which island are you from?"

Kuzan said.

"I have no idea……"

Mi shook her head and said frustrated.

"..."

When Kuzan heard this, his body froze and stopped.

He originally planned to send the little girl back to her island, but now it's better that he said he didn't know.

When Mi saw the man suddenly stop, she thought she had made him angry.

She took a few steps back timidly and spoke quickly in a hoarse voice.

"But I know the name of my village."

Kuzan sensed Mi's movements and his eyes flashed, knowing that she was obviously still very afraid of him.

Kuzan tried his best to make his tone more kind and said softly.

"Then what's the name of your village?"

“Village of Tonas.”

Mi said in a voice as loud as a mosquito.

Kuzan's brain started to work after hearing this. When it comes to the names of the islands, Kuzan knows not all the islands in the Grand Line.

However, most of them have some memories, but when it comes to the name of the village, he is really not sure.

However, if Mi was left on the Chambord Islands, as soon as his front foot left, Kuzan felt that Mi would be caught again.

"Let me take you to change clothes and fill your stomach first, and then I will help you go home."

Kuzan said.

"..."

When Mi heard Kuzan's words, his body froze, after experiencing the torture of the three pirates.

Jean Mi was full of fear for these people.

"Don't be afraid, my name is Kuzan. You must have heard of this name, right?"

Kuzan saw Mi's body stiffened and said softly.

"..."

Mi shook her head.

The moment Mi shook his head, Kuzan's heart felt as if he had been pierced by a sharp sword.

After all, he has been a naval admiral for many years and should be a household name among civilians.

Unexpectedly, someone who didn't recognize him appeared.

Kuzan said without giving up.

"Admiral Aokiji, you must have heard of it, right?"

"Admiral Aokiji?"

Mi was a little confused when he heard this and shook his head again.

"Have you really never heard of it?"

After Kuzan heard this, he immediately turned around, walked towards Mi, and said with a shocked look on his face.

If Kuzan's hands were still alive now, he would want to beat his chest with both hands.

He rarely showed the name Kuzan to the outside world, but it was impossible not to know the name Qing Pheasant.

When Mi saw Kuzan pressing towards him like a giant, tears came from his eyes, but he did not dare to make any sound.

Kuzan reacted when he saw Mi's reaction and quickly backed away.

He also realized that he had overreacted just now. The little girl was obviously tortured and was very afraid of men.

When he pressed in like that just now, let alone this little girl, ordinary pirates would tremble when they saw him, and they would like to turn around and run away.

This Mi was obviously afraid of making herself angry and might hit her.

As a result, he was afraid to move. These details touched Kuzan's heart.

"Sorry, I didn't mean any harm."

"And if you want to cry, you can cry loudly."

"I'm not one of those pirates, I won't whip you."

Kuzan bent down and wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, but when he tried to move, the sleeves of his coat floated.

Kuzan sighed inwardly, it was really inconvenient to have no hands, and it would be a lot of trouble to comfort someone.

When Mi heard the words, he saw the man's movements and the fluttering of his sleeves. This movement seemed to want to comfort himself.

"Woo...Woo...Woo~"

Mi directly hugged Kuzan's thigh and cried bitterly.

Along the way, she was beaten at first and the pain made her cry continuously.

But those pirates beat her more fiercely, threatening to beat her even harder if she dared to cry.

As a result, Mi didn't dare to cry loudly, and could only endure the heart-wrenching pain all over her body. Even if she was saved by this person, she didn't dare to cry.

Until now, it was like a blocked flood embankment being opened, and I started crying loudly.

"It's okay...it's okay...it's okay..."

Kuzan felt the slender figure that was constantly shaking on his trouser legs. His whole body was motionless and he kept saying the same words over and over again.

He knew that he was not good at comforting people, but he vaguely remembered that repeating certain words could make people feel more at ease.

More than ten minutes have passed.

Kuzan's words were like a lullaby, flowing into Mi's heart again and again, which alleviated Mi's constant panic.
