Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 205 Arrival at Karavis Island

North Sea.

Kalawes Island.

In the sea not far from the port, a pirate ship with its flag removed was slowly sailing towards the land.

at the same time.

The sixteen-year-old sheriff, Crotona, was currently standing guard on the watchtower with a telescope in his hand.

When he saw the ship approaching the island, he immediately picked up the horn and shouted behind him: "There's a ship coming! It looks like a pirate ship!"

"what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two middle-aged sheriffs who were dozing off on the lawn quickly got up from the ground.

"Are you sure it's a pirate?" one of them asked.

"Not sure." Crotona answered loudly: "Although they didn't fly a pirate flag, judging from the structure of the ship, it doesn't look like a merchant ship or a passenger ship."

Plus, there are very few sea restaurants passing by here...

"It's very likely that it's a pirate ship."

The middle-aged sheriffs looked at each other.

"How about this, I'll go back to town and call the captain, you stay here and continue to observe. If there is any emergency... remember that saving your life is the most important thing."

After saying that, the taller middle-aged sheriff spread his legs and ran towards the town at the fastest speed.

The other middle-aged sheriff, who was a bit fatter than the others, walked to the sentry tower tremblingly, holding his gun, swallowing his saliva. He looked up at Crotona and said, "Kid, hide with me quickly. If you see pirates getting off the ship later, don't make a sound."

"Okay..." Crotona nodded, then climbed down the ladder with a nervous look on his face and quickly hid in the bushes not far from the port.

About five minutes later.

The ship docked.

Crotona and the middle-aged sheriff's hearts were almost in their throats.

But when they saw a familiar-looking girl coming down from the boat, followed by a little boy, they were stunned for a moment.

This……

what's the situation?
Shouldn't the people who got off the ship be pirates?

Could it be that they really misunderstood?

"Brother Pat, should we go out and ask what's going on?"

"Wait and see..." The fat sheriff, Pat, stretched out his hand to stop Crotona and said, "What if this is a bait deliberately thrown by the other party?"

"Bait?"

"Yes, when I was young, I was often at sea and had seen a lot. Pirates love to do this kind of trick, deliberately sending out women and children to make people relax their vigilance."

"I see..." Crotona nodded, then revealed an expression of admiration.

But only a moment passed.

"Do you think that girl looks familiar?" Crotona suddenly asked again.

"look familiar?"

"Yeah, why do I feel like she looks exactly like Uncle Casilli's daughter..."

"Casillie? The shipbuilder's daughter?" Pat's eyes widened.

Then, he suddenly jumped out of the bushes, waving his hands, and ran towards the other party: "Hey, Minnie Ann!!"

"Ok?"

Minian, who was leading Xia He towards the town, heard someone calling her and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Uncle Pat?" She quickened her pace with some surprise.

But before the two of them hugged each other.

next moment.

A group of half-baked sheriffs armed with knives, guns, sticks and clubs also rushed to the dock in a hurry, and then looked at Minnie Ann and Xia He and the other two who were yawning in a daze.

... "Hey, have you heard? Casilli's daughter who disappeared for more than four months is back."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true."

Small town, street.

Several women gathered together, chattering about the "first-hand information" they had just heard from others.

"Not only did she come back by herself, she even brought back a little boy who looked to be no more than four years old."

"A little boy? Could it be that... during the time she disappeared, she actually went out to give birth to a child?"

"You're an idiot. You've only been gone for four months. How could you possibly give birth to a four-year-old child?"

"It seems so..."

"Then it's impossible that she had given birth to a child outside a long time ago, and the reason she disappeared for four months was actually to look for the father of the child?"

"In the end, you were abandoned by the child's father, so you came back in disgrace?"

"This story sounds reasonable."

"Is it reasonable? I mean, is there a possibility...Minnie Ann just turned fifteen this year. If her child is four years old, then how old was she when she got pregnant? Ten years old?"

The mayor, Roman Valentin, who happened to be passing by, suddenly interrupted and startled the women.

"You have nothing to do all day long, so you like to gossip about other people. Be careful or you will be cursed by Mendlin and become mute and unable to speak."

"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Why scare me?"

"We were just joking, mayor, you really don't have a sense of humor."

After hearing the name "Mendelin", they waved their hands unhappily and left the place directly.

Valentine was left behind, leaning on his crutches, looking at their backs, then he turned around helplessly and walked towards Mini'an's house.

……

same moment.

"My daughter, you're finally back! Wuuuuuuuu..."

A middle-aged man in his early forties was standing in front of his house holding Minnie Ann, crying excitedly.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that he managed to control his emotions a little. He grabbed Minnian's hand and said, "Daughter, where have you been for the past four months? Dad has been looking for you for a long time. He almost went to the Grand Line to check."

"Dad, I encountered a storm on the way back, and then I drifted to an uninhabited island..."

Minnian recounted to her father everything that had happened to her over the past four months.

After hearing the whole story, Casilli turned his gaze to Xia He who was sitting next to him and said, "So... you met this child by chance on the uninhabited island?"

"Yeah!" Minnie nodded. "Don't be fooled by his mature and steady appearance. In fact, he is only less than one year old."

"Less than one year old?" Casilli was a little surprised.

I originally thought that the child should be three to four years old, but I didn’t expect that he is actually a baby less than one year old?
This development is really fast.

"By the way, Dad, how about Mom? Has she been feeling better recently?" Minnie asked.

"She... is lying in bed, still the same as before, not much changed." When mentioning his wife, Casilli's expression began to become a little gloomy.

In fact, he only said that in order not to make his daughter worry.

In fact, his wife's condition had been getting worse day by day.

"Cough... cough cough... I haven't seen you for four months. Your mother misses you too. Go to her room and see her." Casili said, coughing twice.

"It's better not to go." Xia He heard this and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Why?" Minian looked at him puzzled.

However, Xia He did not answer. Instead, he walked straight forward, put his little hand on Casiri's wrist, and took his pulse.

"If I'm not mistaken, your father should have been infected with the same disease as your mother."
