RNP Chapter 74 Kerla
Chapter 74 Kerla
Kera finally stopped crying and looked at Luo Tian with red and swollen eyes.
Luo Tian gently patted her shoulder and whispered:
"If those who have passed away could see that we who are alive can continue to live strong and happy lives, that would be the greatest comfort and remembrance for them."
Upon hearing these words, Kera couldn't help but recall the moments she had spent with Tiger and the others.
Those days filled with laughter and warmth seem like they were just yesterday, yet everything has changed.
She bit her lip, nodded firmly, and her eyes revealed a resolute determination:
"I will definitely carry on Tiger's legacy and strive to change this unfair world."
Then, she raised her head, looking at Luo Tian expectantly, and asked:
"Then, may I join you?"
Luo Tian answered without hesitation:
"Great! Welcome to the team."
At the same time, Luo Tian thought to himself: But actually, I have no way to send you home. After all, your village and the island were destroyed by me and sank into the sea.
However, it's best not to tell her this harsh truth now. We can find a suitable excuse to brush it off later...
Luo Tian thought that when he destroyed the island, the villagers on the island would also disappear, but in reality, the villagers on the island had already been evacuated when the navy was preparing to ambush Tiger.
At this moment, Yamato, who was standing to the side, gradually recovered from the kick he had just received.
Suddenly, she leaped up and kicked Luo Tian hard.
Caught off guard, Luo Tian was kicked and staggered by the sudden attack.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately turned around and pounced on Yamato, and the two instantly began to wrestle.
Kerla was taken aback when she saw the two people bickering like children. Then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The originally somber and heavy atmosphere was slightly eased by this unexpected farce.
Luo Tian had finally managed to escape the farce with Yamato. He was slightly out of breath, but his eyes were fixed on Tesoro not far away.
He gently beckoned Tesoro over, signaling him to come over so he could speak with him alone.
Tesoro nodded knowingly and quickly walked to Luo Tian's side.
The two walked together toward Luo Tian's room in silence, but they both seemed to understand that the topic they were about to discuss was of utmost importance.
After entering the room, Luo Tian pointed to the newspaper on the table and then moved toward Tesoro.
Tezzolo picked up the newspaper, his eyes instantly drawn to the news about the auction house, and a surge of uncontrollable excitement welled up inside him.
Luo Tian took everything in, smiled slightly, and said softly:
"Remember our conversation? Now our plan is about to officially begin. This time, we'll be heading to the North Sea. And our goal is clear: to help you obtain this 'Golden Fruit.' However, once you successfully obtain it, the rest of the journey will be up to you..."
At this point, Luo Tian paused slightly, looking at Tesoro with expectant eyes.
Tezzolo remained silent, but his hands, gripping the newspaper tightly, trembled slightly from the force of his grip.
After a long while, he finally raised his head and bowed deeply to Luo Tian.
"Thank you, Captain! I am very grateful for your help during this time."
Seeing this, Luo Tian waved his hand.
"You yourself said that I am your captain, and it is my responsibility to help my crew achieve their dreams. Besides, I need your help too, don't I?"
"Let's go, it's time to eat. Let's also tell Dan about our next destination."
Afterwards, Luo Tian led Tesoro toward the restaurant.
When they entered the restaurant, the scene inside was no different from usual: everyone was sitting around the table, enjoying their meal.
However, in this seemingly ordinary scene, one person's behavior seemed somewhat out of place—that was Kella.
She sat there quietly, her body slightly tense, her eyes darting around, looking restrained, uneasy, and at a loss. Her small figure had an extremely low profile; it was unclear when she had arrived.
At this moment, Luo Tian cleared his throat and addressed the crowd:
"Everyone, please stop for a moment."
Upon hearing his words, everyone turned their attention to Luo Tian, who was standing to the side.
Then, Luo Tian continued:
"Now, let me introduce a new member to everyone. From now on, Kerr is a member of our ship. I hope everyone will take good care of her in the future."
After saying that, Luo Tian walked to Kella, who was sitting in the corner, and gently put his hand on Kella's shoulder, gesturing for her to take a step forward.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Kera like spotlights.
She was already very nervous, and now her heart was racing and her cheeks were burning.
In her panic, she instinctively stood up, ready to help with the work as usual.
Just then, Anna and Angie quickly stepped forward, each taking one of her arms, and gently said to her:
"Stop busy, sit down and eat properly. No one here will force you to do anything."
Upon hearing this, Kerla smiled shyly and whispered:
"I'm so sorry, I just can't help wanting to work when I get nervous..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yamato rushed over in a flurry of activity.
Her mouth was stuffed full of food, and she held a piece of bread in each hand, speaking indistinctly:
"Don't worry, little Kela! From now on, you'll stick with me. I'll back you up if anything happens! As for that Luo Tian, he's nothing to worry about!"
As she spoke, she defiantly raised her chin at Luo Tian.
Seeing this, Luo Tian rolled his eyes at her, annoyed.
"Thank you so much, Yamato!"
Yamato grinned and laughed heartily, replying nonchalantly:
"Haha, you're welcome!"
At this moment, Enel, whose mouth was also full of food, came to Koala's side. Ever since he boarded Luo Tian's ship, Enel has been led to eat the same way as Yamato, grabbing food from each other.
"Don't worry, Koala. I am God, and with Yamato and Big Sister together, we will definitely protect you."
Koala noticed that Enel beside her had unusual earlobes and became curious as well.
"Um...can I ask why your earlobes are so long?"
"Because I am God, this is the symbol of God."
Enel answered Kelra's question with pride.
Luo Tian sighed and said to Kela, "It's okay, don't bother with him, he's a bit of a chuunibyou."
"Captain Luo Tian, could you please give me some face in front of the new crew?"
"No, you'll lose face."
Seeing the friendly people in front of her, Koala's nervousness gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm feeling of gratitude, as if she had returned to the days when she was in the Sun Pirates. She finally sat down with peace of mind and joined in the lively and warm dining atmosphere.
