Chapter 23 There is such a bad place

It's been three days.

I have been in the island food city for three days.

The original target person, Saga Lido, disappeared silently... Oh no, to be precise, he should have disappeared.

Charlotte sat back in the captain's cabin and felt very irritated!

Then he sat up straight and said, "Tell me! Is there any way to find him?"

For a while, it directly stumped Beta and Barrett, who temporarily joined in order to repay the favor.

When Charlotte received the news that Barrett actually joined the Hiberfield family, she was completely in disbelief.

Of course, Charlotte had no reason to reject such a potential stock.

It's just that he was out of his mind to ask these two people for their opinions. These are two people who only know how to fight with each other.

So when he asked this question, he felt a little regretful.

Looking at the two silent people, Charlotte also tacitly agreed not to ask any further questions.

He really needs an intelligent subordinate now.

For example... Ivan the Great Smart.

At this moment, Lina walked in, wearing a black women's V-neck short suit, black shorts, and a black tight cape.

The long and straight white legs are quite eye-catching.

"Charlotte, I found out that Mr. Saga Lido disappeared five days ago."

Lina spoke slowly.

Charlotte was delighted, "Lina, will you continue?"

Lina nodded.

"Through Hill Palen's network, I found out that Saga Lido disappeared into the civilian area."

Hill Palen?

He has a fart network of connections. Needless to say, this is information from Warehouse King Gilbertson.

Charlotte had to admit that the intelligence capabilities of these unknown underground forces were indeed powerful.

Their power cannot be underestimated, and their intelligence work is excellent.

Unexpectedly, I have to look at Lina in the end, men are unreliable.

"Civil area?"

Charlotte thought for a moment, and he seemed to have a very bad feeling.

The world of One Piece is connected to the civilian areas, and there are almost always unexplained troubles.

Charlotte shook her head, put away her chaotic thoughts, stood up and walked outside.

Naturally he has considered this matter.

He didn't have time to waste here. Now that he had a clear location, he naturally needed to go there in person to understand the situation and get the matter done as quickly as possible.

"Beta, you and Barrett take a good look at the ship and wait for us to come back."

Beta was excited and said, "Boss, don't worry, we are on board and on board."

"Yeah!" Although Beta is a reckless man with a passionate fighting spirit, Beta has never been hesitant to say whether he should say what he asked.

Barrett, who had a weak presence on the side, also straightened up and looked a little arrogant without saying a word.

Charlotte didn't notice these details anymore, and was focused on finding Sakya Lido.

Looking at Charlotte and Lina leaving in a hurry, Beta breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you afraid of Mr. Charlotte?"

Barrett was a little confused. In his opinion, Charlotte gave him really good senses. He was a strong, low-key and kind person.

Beta couldn't help but tremble in her heart when facing Barrett, she was young, she was still young, who knows the pain of being trained by boss Charlotte even if they disagree with her!

Sooner or later, I will cry.

So he said calmly, "What do you know? Is this called fear? This is called respect. You only know how to hammer, you little brat!"

Barrett's eyes widened. He hated being treated as a child and roared, "Damn it, how many times have I told you, I'm not called a brat, my name is Douglas Barrett."

"I know, little brat!"

Beta looked unconcerned and said with her ears clasped.

Barrett's face turned red and he roared angrily, "I'm not a little brat, I'm Dagoras Barrett."

I was so excited that my mouth became bald.

"Oh, little brat, what's your name?"

"You bastard, I'm Barrett!"

"What thunder?"

"Barrett!"

"What's special?"

…

Barrett was furious. If he couldn't defeat this guy now, he would definitely make Beta regret coming into this world.

"Hey, little brat! Little brat!"

Barrett's eyes twitched, and his whole body felt bad. He turned around and left angrily, no longer talking to this nervous guy.

"Hey, hey, don't go! Are you angry? Please eat meat."

Beta hurriedly chased after him, with a playful smile on his face. He was not mature at all and looked like he deserved a beating.

…

Island Food City, District 54, a civilian area.

The old, crowded, dilapidated and small buildings are hard to imagine.

There is such a terrible place in the bustling island food city.

In a dark alley.

A boy collapsed to the ground. He looked at the dirty half piece of bread in his arms, but a heartfelt smile appeared on his scarred face.

That smile was filled with indescribable elegance.

"That's great, Mitya, I finally don't have to be hungry today!"

The boy endured the pain in his body and stood up tremblingly.

He carefully put the piece of bread in his hand into his arms as if it were a treasure.

After sorting out the blood on his face, he limped out of this dark place.

He walked very slowly and laboriously, but he walked extremely determinedly!

I quickly left this dark place and turned into another darker, more closed, and smaller place!

This is more appropriately called a slum than a civilian area.

40% of the entire island’s aboriginal population is gathered here, but the entire “civilian area” does not even cover 1/30 of the island’s food city.

This is a narrow and suffocating place.

But this is indeed the boy's home!

The tired boy limped for about half an hour.

Finally, he came to a house that looked extremely shabby even in a "civilian area".

Rather than saying that it was a house, it was better to say that it was a small nest built with discarded cardboard boxes in a half-collapsed room.

The young man took a deep breath, patted his cheek to make himself look cheerful, then showed a sunny smile and lifted the rag covering the house...

"Brother...you, you are back...ahem..."

The sound of weakness mixed with coughing came from the house, and it was not difficult to hear that the sound was very childish.

The boy quickly quickened his pace, not caring about the pain caused by his own injuries!

He came to the bed made of coffin boards in two or two steps.

Lying on it was a pale little girl, and this girl was the boy's sister...

"Mitiya, I earned another 30 beli today. Don't worry, your illness will be cured soon!"

The boy smiled reluctantly, and then took out the bread in his arms. He completely ignored the sound of hunger coming from his stomach and handed the bread to his sister Mitya.

"Brother, you eat too..."

The little girl on the bed divided the bread in her hand into two pieces. After taking the smaller piece, she forced herself to pass the larger piece to her brother!

"Mitiya, brother has eaten, you can eat it!" the little boy said with a relaxed look.

"Really?" the little girl Mitya asked uncertainly.

"Of course, don't worry."

After saying that, he suppressed his hunger and put the hard-earned 30 Baileys into the rusty box without looking away.

His sister's condition required more food and it didn't matter if he was hungry. In order to prevent his sister from noticing the sound of hunger in his stomach, he also wanted to save enough money for his sister's medical treatment.

The little boy got up and went out to find some work and make money.
