章節 181: Chapter 181: The Songstress
Elizabeth covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous, with a hint of surprise.
Adrian, who had just pushed open the iron door of the cell, looked up and smiled reassuringly at her.
Elizabeth walked over and handed the Hero's Dagger back to him.
"Is this dagger still useful?"
"Yeah, it's handy."
Elizabeth nodded lightly, asking with concern, "What about those members of the Weapons Pirates outside? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
"I am alright..."
Adrian didn't elaborate much.
"We can get ready to leave now, Miss Elizabeth."
He lowered his head, looking at the nervous little powder puff girl next to him who was tightly gripping the hem of the songstress's dress.
"And you, the Little Princess of Dressrosa."
Elizabeth was about to nod in joy when she suddenly seemed to remember something, looking a bit hesitant.
"But, Mr. Adrian… haven't we already gone far away from Dressrosa?"
"Hmm?"
Elizabeth explained:
"It's my ability.
"After being locked up by the Weapons Pirates, I've been using my ability to listen to the sounds emitted by ships.
"Long before, I 'heard' the sound of the anchor being raised.
"And just now... I also heard the tearing sound of the ship's hull.
"It's called Sound-Sound Fruit."
"For a songstress, this is indeed a very remarkable ability, Miss Elizabeth." Adrian nodded noncommittally, "But we have other ways to go back."
"Hmm?"
Elizabeth was about to ask for clarification when she suddenly noticed that the sound of the waves of the sea, which she could usually "hear," inexplicably disappeared.
Even the sound of the surrounding sea breeze and seabirds disappeared along with it.
It was as if this pirate ship had suddenly been pulled into a completely isolated space separate from the original world.
"Just a moment."
Adrian's figure slowly disappeared.
In less than half a minute, he reappeared.
"Welcome to Dressrosa."
The next moment, Elizabeth and Scarlett felt a sudden blur before their eyes.
The gloomy and dark prison environment completely disappeared, replaced by the deep night and flickering flames of Dressrosa's coastline.
Upon closer inspection, those twinkling lights were a group of kingdom soldiers holding torches, ready to depart.
Leading them was none other than the legendary Kyros, who had recently achieved 3,000 consecutive victories in the Colosseum.
Across from the soldiers stood a solemn and grief-stricken King Riku, issuing barely audible commands.
Beside Elizabeth and Scarlett were other slaves captured by the Weapon Pirates.
The sudden appearance of this crowd on the shore caught the attention of the kingdom's soldiers.
Scarlett gasped and dashed toward King Riku, leaving her "butt-sister" behind.
"Mr. Adrian, I apologize, but is this also your ability?" Elizabeth asked. "Is it something like teleportation?"
"Miss Elizabeth, on a night like this, by the beach, do you not find it a bit dull to discuss fruit abilities between two lonely souls?" Adrian turned to face her, gesturing toward the crashing waves of the sea.
"What…?" Reminded by his words, Elizabeth suddenly realized their current location. In her thin attire, the nighttime sea breeze made her teeth chatter, and she instinctively tightened her clothes.
"Do you live in Dressrosa? Let me take you back," Adrian offered.
Elizabeth eagerly agreed. Returning to their pre-booked hotel, she felt the warmth radiating from the lobby fireplace, easing her tension.
"Mr. Adrian, thank you for today."
Adrian nodded, turned to leave but was stopped by Elizabeth.
She suddenly brought up Princess Scarlett.
"Mr. Adrian, why don't you like women with pink hair?"
Adrian was caught off guard. Talking about BIG MOM's appearance with a singer?
He casually gave an excuse.
"I just don't really like kids."
"Is that so?"
Adrian raised an eyebrow, looking at the singer.
