At this moment, the seven young women, chained and huddled in the corner of the iron cell, looked up slightly and saw Deya. They trembled all over, their eyes filled with fear, but also a hint of curiosity.
They feared this place
The dungeon that seemed truly pitch-black, where they had been locked up for so many days
and they feared the vicious Human Traffickers who held their miserable fate in their hands.
But at the same time, they were very curious because they could tell and feel that the blue-haired beauty in front of them was definitely not part of the same group as the Human Traffickers who had imprisoned and tortured them.
"Don't be afraid, I am not a Human Trafficker. I am here to save you," Deya said with a gentle, sweet, and confident smile, simultaneously waving her hand.
Spatial power activated, instantly teleporting all the women outside the cell. Then, she activated spatial displacement, moving all the chains and restraints locking the women to the side.
Seeing that they were out of the cell and had regained their freedom of movement, light slowly returned to the women's eyes, as if they had seen hope again. They all stood up and bowed slightly toward Deya.
"Thank you for saving us."
"You're welcome. But do you still have family? Do you have a place to go, or perhaps the ability to survive independently?"
Deya first indicated that it was no big deal, as saving people was simply her nature and kindness.
But thinking of the Galactron genetic modification technology, she couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of The Girls seemed to be tinged with a grayish darkness once more, and they all shook their heads.
Clearly, they had nothing left, just as Deya had suggested.
"In that case, would you be willing to join our pirate ship? You can start by learning the most basic things," Deya said with a smile, extending a genuine invitation.
Hearing that they had a place to go, food, clothes, and shelter, the eyes of the seven women lit up again, as if they had finally seen the hope of life and survival.
They immediately nodded frantically, agreeing like agile little cats.
Deya immediately smiled, believing that if these girls were properly trained, they would definitely become excellent and powerful Galatron Girls.
She was also looking forward to it, following their previous small meeting.
But just then, one of the women thought for a moment, stood up, and spoke.
"Benefactress, there are actually more than just the seven of us slaves on this ship. There should be one more person. When we were first captured onto this pirate ship, there was a very beautiful, white-haired young lady."
"She suddenly appeared, intending to save us, and the Human Traffickers on this ship were no match for her. But those hateful Human Trafficker leaders threatened her using us, preventing the white-haired young lady from fighting. She was eventually beaten and locked up."
"I once heard them say they wanted to sell this white-haired young lady as a slave as well, and for a good price."
"Hmm." Hearing this, Deya, who had been overjoyed, paused for a moment and immediately became interested.
At the same time, she did sense a decent, rather strong aura coming from nearby.
However, feeling the surrounding temperature rising and remembering that Carmen was setting fires outside, she immediately opened her communication device, contacted Luna, and explained the situation here.
Luna became interested in the so-called white-haired young lady and decided to make the trip herself. She quickly flew over, landed on the pirate ship, and walked into the cabin.
Carmen left, knowing the pirate ship was destined to burn down. Deya, who had directly taken the seven women away, also returned.
The main priority was settling the seven women first; they needed to change into new clothes, take a bath, and eat something.
Because since they had been brought onto the pirate ship, they had suffered endless torment.
At this moment, only Luna and the white-haired young lady mentioned by the previous woman, who was locked in another room, remained on the slowly burning pirate ship.
Luna quickly walked in and pushed open the door. However, the scene she saw next
even for Luna, who had arrived in the Pirate World and spent two months engaged in combat up until now
who had actively taken action multiple times during these sea voyages, seen blood, and killed people
caused her to gasp sharply at the sight before her, a trace of horror showing in her eyes.
Inside a similar iron cell, there was indeed a white-haired woman, roughly her age, imprisoned. She was kneeling, with two large iron balls locked around the bends of her legs, making it impossible for her to stand up. Iron chains extending from both sides of the wall locked her hands, preventing her from moving her arms at all.
It could be said that this white-haired young lady could not escape her current predicament using her own strength alone.
Not to mention, she appeared to be seriously injured. There were many signs of bruises and blunt trauma all over her body, and fresh red blood was visible on her forehead, the corner of her mouth, and many other places, though it had now scabbed over due to the passage of time.
Since the woman had not reacted despite her entering a while ago, Luna immediately noticed that the aura emanating from the white-haired woman felt drowsy, with no signs of consciousness. She instantly determined that the woman had clearly fallen into a period of deep coma.
Based on what Deya had told her earlier, after the white-haired woman was captured, the Human Traffickers likely tormented her further, denying her food and water. Moreover, besides her injuries, the woman looked very dirty and had an unpleasant odor. Being imprisoned like this, she certainly wouldn't have had a chance to bathe. Given all this, it was no wonder she had fallen into a coma after such a long time.
"Huh? What is this!" But suddenly, Luna discovered another surprising detail. She immediately broke down the cell door and walked in. Sweeping aside the white-haired woman's hair, a horn immediately appeared
a single silver, demon-like horn.
On the other side, she indeed found a symmetrically placed horn.
"Ogre Tribe." Luna was instantly astonished. She never imagined that such a white-haired woman would turn out to be from the Ogre Tribe!
The Pirate World has many different races, far more diverse than her previous life. Just those she knew of numbered 11: first, the most common Humans, then the Fish-Man Tribe, Merfolk Clan, Giants, Dwarves, Longarm Tribe, Mink Tribe, Three-Eye Tribe, and so on.
But there are also many other races that were not fully displayed in the *One Piece* anime, including some that have vanished into the river of history.
Although the official sources of *One Piece* in Luna's previous life did not explicitly state the existence of a race called the Ogre Tribe.
The appearance of Kaido and Yamato proves that such a race does indeed exist in the Pirate World.
The Ogre Tribe's most prominent feature is having horns on their heads, and they are renowned worldwide for their monstrous physical defense, recovery ability, and extremely notable brute strength.
At this moment, the white-haired woman in front of her not only had horns but Luna could also feel the immense power hidden within her body. Furthermore, for this group of Human Traffickers to treat her as a high-priority slave, it couldn't just be because of her strength; it was likely also due to her Ogre Tribe identity.
Regardless, this was the real world after all. Luna planned to investigate whether the Ogre Tribe truly existed when they arrived at Water Seven.
However, she might also learn something from the white-haired Ogre Tribe woman once she woke up.
Thinking this, Luna quickly freed her. The chains locking the woman were merely ordinary iron products. For Luna, who barely regarded Sea Stone, smashing them was naturally effortless.
Luna carried her back to the pirate ship, and the moment she returned, the entire Human Traffickers' pirate ship was instantly ignited by the Phoenix Flame. It would be slowly burned to ashes and sink into the sea.
Luna merely glanced at the scene before directly handing the white-haired woman to Kaya.
"She is seriously injured. I'll leave her treatment to you. Take good care of her."
"Yes, Captain." After agreeing, Kaya immediately took the white-haired woman toward the lower cabin, leading her to her infirmary for treatment.
However, both Kaya and the other The Girls present immediately understood.
They could tell that Luna seemed to place some importance on this unconscious white-haired woman.
But presumably, in the presence of Kaya, whose medical skills were also progressing, she should be treated quickly and recover.
"Luna, how should we arrange accommodation for these eight people?" Kuina stepped forward and asked.
"I remember there are still two storage rooms on the pirate ship. Clear them out first for the seven girls to stay in. As for the white-haired young lady, let her stay in the infirmary for now," Luna quickly replied after thinking.
"Alright, I'll go arrange it now." Kuina nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
After watching her leave, Luna walked over to Shiro and asked.
"How is it? Can we start the cultivation now?"
"No, we are still missing many materials on the pirate ship. Besides, we should wait until their bodies recover and their condition improves. Furthermore, Captain, it is best to get their consent first, even if they are considered our people now. I also need to specially create some equipment, plus there's the matter of the new pirate ship
it's too much."
Shiro shook her head, quickly listing the difficulties.
"No need to rush, take your time. But you should discuss it with Deya; we might need a large number of multi-person dormitories on the pirate ship."
Luna said with a smile, offering a new suggestion.
"Don't worry, I will discuss it with her." Shiro immediately agreed.
At the same time, she realized that among The Girls on the pirate ship, her workload was truly heavy.
After everything settled down, they continued toward their destination, Water Seven. Until evening, before dinner, they encountered a Bounty Hunter team and two Pirate Crews, one after the other. After confirming repeatedly that none of them were good people.
They were easily eliminated by The Girls, and their wealth was plundered and claimed by them.
