Pirates: My crew is fierce
Chapter 11
Hearing this, the sturdy man at the door looked up and down at Shane and Kagura. Seeing that they did not look like dangerous pirates, the sturdy man said happily:
"Traveler? Our shipwrights at Shipyard No. 53 like to entertain guests the most. Come in. I have extra rooms at home."
The sturdy man warmly invited the two to come in and introduced himself.
His name is Ben Neil, a shipwright at Shipyard No. 53. He has worked in the shipyard for 20 years and has a high level of experience among shipwrights. Even the factory director respects him very much and often takes him out to purchase shipbuilding materials...
His friends call him Old Neil.
The house is very large, with two bedrooms and all kinds of furniture. It does not look like the residence of a single man, but rather like the configuration of a family of three.
And when he saw a family portrait placed in a prominent position in the living room.
Shane was even more confused.
It was a photo of three people. There were two women and a man in the photo, hugging each other happily. The man was naturally Old Neil, and the young and old women should be his daughter and wife?
Shane didn't worry too much and asked whatever he thought of.
And completely different from the worst scenario he expected, the death of the mother and daughter, there was no sadness in Old Neil's eyes, but a complex and lost feeling.
"I don't know who they are. After returning from the New World with the factory director to buy shipbuilding materials, this photo appeared in my home, and there were many more women's daily necessities in the room."
"And these things seemed to have been there, exactly the same as the environment of my home, as if there have been three people living since I built this house, but in my memory I have always lived alone!"
Old Neil seemed to have kept this matter in his heart for a long time. When Shane asked, he seemed to be opened up and kept talking.
But Kagura had heard enough stories today, and she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
The two had to take her to a bedroom first.
Old Neil prepared bedding for her, and when he led her into the room, he mentioned that this bedroom was where his "daughter" who didn't know whether he existed lived.
This sounded a bit weird, like a ghost story told at night.
Xia En felt a chill in his heart.
Kagura didn't think so, and walked into the bedroom with a yawn, and looked at Xia En before closing the door.
"Don't stay up late, Xia-chan, and when you come in later, be quiet, don't wake me up!"
Xia En nodded helplessly and waved to her to go to bed quickly.
That's right, Old Neil's house has only two bedrooms, and he and Kagura will sleep in the same room tonight.
Because of the similar hair color, Old Neil thought that Xia En and Kagura were siblings, and Kagura didn't look very old, so he thought it was okay to let the two siblings sleep in the same bed.
But the fact is, hey, it seems that I can only sleep on the floor today.
Xia En sighed in his heart.
He never expected that he, a billionaire, not only did not live in a big villa, but now he has fallen to the point of sleeping on the floor.
"Brother Shane, do you want to drink with me?"
"I have specially prepared a lot of snacks here, because according to the content of the diary left by the child in the bedroom, today should be her birthday."
Old Neil's voice was a little painful, he didn't know how to tell others about this emotion.
After he discovered the "strange change" in his home a year ago, he ran to talk to his colleagues as soon as possible, but they all didn't take it seriously, thinking that Old Neil was drunk and encountered ghosts, which caused a lot of jokes.
However, as time went by, looking at the "evidence" left in the house day by day, he felt more and more that the person in the photo was real, and he once had a wife and daughter.
"It's real!" Suddenly, Shane said with great certainty.
"Ah? What is real?"
Old Neil's body shook, and for a while he didn't react to Shane's words.
"Of course your wife and daughter are real! Even if everyone including you has forgotten them, isn't this room the evidence?"
"Think about it, how could someone leave so many traces of life in your room without you noticing? And who would do such a boring and unprofitable thing?"
"So there is only one answer, the memories of everyone who knew your wife and daughter have been tampered with!"
"What! Are you telling the truth?" Old Neil stood up suddenly, looking at Shane with doubt, hope, fear and other emotions in his eyes, and before he knew it, tears had already slipped from the corners of his eyes.
In fact, Shane didn't need to say it, he had already regarded the two women in the photo asof his relatives.
"Of course it's true!" Shane nodded firmly.
Old Neil sat down again, fell into silence, lowered his head, and wondered what he was thinking. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head as if he had thought of something.
He stared at Shane with bloodshot eyes: "Is it a devil fruit?"
As a shipwright in the Sabaody Archipelago, he has built pirate ships for many well-known pirates over the years, so he has seen all kinds of people with special abilities.
At this time, Shane was enlightened, and he immediately thought of people with special abilities.
"Well, not bad."
Shane nodded with a little appreciation. It's easy to talk to smart people. As long as you remind them a little, the other party can think of the key.
"Have you been to the New World?" he continued to ask.
"Well, because some shipbuilding raw materials need to be seen in person, I go to the New World with the factory director several times every year."
"Have you been to the Kingdom of Dressrosa?"
"Yes, our last stop in the New World was Dressrosa. Because it was the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we didn't dare to stay too long. We just left in a hurry after buying shipbuilding materials."
Old Neil thought for a long time before answering. He thought very seriously, fearing that because of his omissions, Shane would miss some details and fail to judge who tampered with his memory.
If Shane knew what he was thinking, he would only say, brother, you think too much. Open-book candidates like me don't actually need to review the questions.
Just know that you have been to Dressrosa.
Shane nodded gently, with a confident smile on his face. Under the increasingly anxious gaze of Old Neil, he said lightly:
"I am now fully confident that your memory was lost in Dressrosa."
"Could it be that Doflamingo did it to me? But the newspapers record that he is the user of the String-String Fruit. I have never heard that he can modify other people's memories?"
Speaking of Dressrosa, Old Neil naturally first thought of the king who had been newly crowned for less than ten years, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea - Doflamingo, known as "Tian Yasha".
"Of course, it wasn't done by him himself. It was done by one of his subordinates. Her name seemed to be Sugar or something. She was a little girl with green hair and the ability of the Childlike Fun Fruit."
"Her ability is to turn the objects she touches into toys of her imagination, and all relatives and friends who know the transformed person will lose all memories related to the transformed person."
"Your wife and daughter were probably also turned into toys by her. Well, this should be a blessing in disguise. They are probably still alive now."
"So that's it..."
Old Neil suddenly realized, his face full of horror, terrified by the cruelty of Doflamingo's methods, and at the same time glad that his wife and daughter were still alive.
