I don't want to be a hero.

Chapter 15 Hancock: I will be something special when I grow up

Although Hancock had been comforting her two sisters, she herself was not in a much better condition.

After all, she was just a little girl, and when she saw the ferocious lackeys of the Celestial Dragons pressing their backs with red-hot irons, how could she not be afraid?

Just as Hancock was looking at the gradually shortening line in front of her and feeling a little scared, a familiar male voice sounded beside her.

"Take off your shirts quickly."

Yeya came here secretly, and there was not enough time or time to explain.

"Why do you want to take off your shirt? We are not that close yet."

Hancock said hesitantly that she admitted that she had some feelings for Yeya, but it was not to that extent.

"No time to explain, get in the car quickly!"

"what?"

Hancock obviously didn't understand Yeya's joke, but Yeya didn't have time to bother with her, so he just lifted up her shirt and did it!

"Ye Ya, you actually..."

Even though Yeya has only recovered half of his strength now, he is still not someone a little girl like Hancock can resist.

Hancock's eyes were filled with tears. She thought she had made a friend, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually a beast...

Just when Hancock was about to shout and attract other people's attention, she felt a chill on her back, and then her shirt was put down by Yeya.

Wasn't Ye Ya going to circle and cross her? Why did he stop suddenly? Was he scared? Or did he feel guilty?

Seeing Hancock's puzzled look, Tianyu said unhappily: "What are you thinking? I'm just helping you put on a tattoo. It doesn't cost anything. Do you think I will do anything to you?"

Yeya looked at Hancock with a playful look, whose front and back were as flat, and stuffed two more stickers into her hand. He told her to help Sonya and Mary put them on, and not to tear them off casually, and then he slipped back to his team.

“Sonia, help me see what Yeya did behind my back?”

Hancock was also very confused by Ye Ya's behavior, so she asked her sister next to her what Ye Ya had just done behind her.

"Sister, you actually have another mark on your back, the same as theirs."

Sonya lifted her sister's shirt and covered her mouth in surprise. On Hancock's fair skin, there was a "Dragon Mark".

"It turns out that Ye Ya was helping me just now, not... Humph, who told him not to say anything and caused others to misunderstand."

"And what does he mean by that? He actually said that I don't have the capital? Sooner or later, I will become a beautiful woman with curvy figure, so that he can see whether I have the capital or not."

Hancock pressed her small chest, she just hadn't developed yet. She swore that one day, she would be so obsessed with Yeya.

Although Hancock was tough on the outside, she felt warm inside when she saw the two extra [tattoo stickers] in her hand.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Not everyone will have someone willing to lend a helping hand when they are in trouble.

I have to say that Yeya’s wave of improving Hancock’s favorability was very successful. Now Hancock’s favorability towards him has skyrocketed.

"Sonia, Mary, turn around. I'll put this on you so you don't get burned by those bad guys."

Hancock looked at Yeya who was sneaking back to his team and gave him a gentle smile.

"Ye Ya doesn't like me, does he? Otherwise, why would he take out such a precious thing to help me?"

It's not surprising that Hancock would think so, because there are so many slaves here, and many of them are as good-looking as her, but Yeya chose to help her.

Plus, Hancock is just a girl now, so it's normal for her to like fantasies...

If Ye Ya could hear Hancock's voice at this moment, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

He just chose a good investment target, a few useless [tattoo stickers], but the favor of the future [Seven Warlords of the Sea] and Pirate Queen Boa Hancock is more valuable.

After Hancock put two [tattoo stickers] on her sister's back, she followed Yeya's instructions and fell to the ground pretending to be unconscious.

Although she didn't know why she did this, Ye Ya helped her, so she chose to believe Ye Ya.

Soon, the lackey who had imprinted the "Celestial Dragon Mark" on the slaves came in front of Hancock and the other two, and when he saw the three sisters lying on the ground, he roared angrily.

"Don't play dead for me. Even if you are dead, you have to be burned with a mark."

The lackey pulled Hancock up from the ground, lifted up her clothes, and was about to stick the iron on her. But he saw that there was already a "Dragon Mark" on Hancock's back.

"Tsk, so it turned out that he had been burned before, and then fainted from the pain? Really, you are always causing trouble for me."

After confirming that the three Boa sisters all had the "Tianlongren Mark" on their backs, the lackey threw the three "unconscious" sisters into the pile of people who had been scalded, cursing.

Only after they successfully fooled the public did Hancock realize Ye Ya's intention of asking them to pretend to be unconscious.

Obviously, if they were awake, they would probably be questioned. And with the timid personalities of the two sisters, they might be exposed.

The situation on Ye Ya's side was similar, or rather, he was more lax. After all, it was a defective product, and it might die in a few days, so even those lackeys didn't care much.

In the following days, Yeya never saw the three Boa sisters again. Because they were imprisoned in different places, Yeya didn't know what their current situation was.

But according to the original story, they should be fine, and the one who should be worried now is myself.

Originally, Yeya thought that if they pretended to be old, weak, sick and disabled, the Celestial Dragons would not be interested in "defective products" like them.

But it turned out that Yeya was overthinking. Even the lowest-level slaves could not escape the clutches of the Celestial Dragons.

In the past few days, several people have been taken away. As for the reason, it turned out that they were helping the Tianlong people test drugs.

A few idle Tianlong people actually competed to see whose poison was stronger. The Tianlong people took out their own poison and let their slaves drink it. Whoever's slave died first would win.

If such rules are established, then the subjects for drug testing will naturally not be the strong and healthy slaves.

But it was the dying guys like Ye Yai. After all, they could die at any time, and of course they would die instantly if they drank the poison.

Fortunately, Ye Ya was relatively young, and the lackeys tried to choose the oldest slaves when selecting slaves, because no matter what, young people were in better health than old men, so Ye Ya escaped the disaster.

"I can't stay here any longer, I have to run away tonight." Ye Ya thought to himself, even though his strength had only recovered 80%. But these rubbish of the Celestial Dragons seemed to be addicted to this game recently, and it would be his turn sooner or later.

Moreover, his strength has recovered to 80%. Although he lacks weapons, it should be no problem for him to sneak away.

Unfortunately, Ye Ya didn’t know if he had the ability to rescue Hancock and the others.

After all, they are not "defective" slaves like Ye Ya who are waiting to die at any time, so the guard must be stricter.

Chapter 16: You can meet important people even if you climb over the wall

After much consideration, Yeya finally decided to run away first, and then come back after his strength was fully restored to see if there was any chance to save Hancock and the others.

Not to mention that Ye Ya is ruthless, but his strength has not yet fully recovered, and escaping on his own is probably already his limit. If he tries to take Hancock and the others with him, he may not be able to escape in the end.

And since Tiger can climb up to Marijoa, Yeya, who has the ability to control the wind, should be able to do the same.

Now that the decision has been made, Ye Ya did not hesitate any longer.

At night, when the other slaves were asleep, Ye Ya used his hand knife to perform the Steel Cutting Technique, cut the iron cage with some difficulty, and sneaked out.

After all, Yasuo is at the "Swordsman" level and can attack with sword energy, so "cutting iron" is naturally no problem for him.

Zoro can use the "Swordless Style", and so can Yeya. It's just that because "Asoka" may not be enough stars, and Yeya is still recovering, it took a long time for Yeya to cut off an iron bar.

Fortunately, the iron cage was not made of "seastone", otherwise Ye Ya, without a weapon, might not have been able to escape successfully.

As Yeya expected, although it was the gathering place of the "Celestial Dragons", the defense at his location was not very tight.

After breaking the necks of the two guards cleanly and efficiently, Ye Ya reached the cliff smoothly.

It was impossible to go through the main entrance, and the only way out was through the cliff that backed onto the sea.

Yeya is not a user with special abilities, so it’s okay for him to fall into the sea.

With several years of physical training with Saitama, plus the wind control ability of [Wind Swordsman], and his own half-baked superpowers, climbing down this steep cliff should not be too stressful.

"In fact, it would be more convenient to use [Air Dance]. But he doesn't have much "energy" now. After reaching the ocean below, he doesn't know how long it will take to see land. Ye Ya wants to retain some strength to fly and find a new place to stay.

Using his half-baked superpowers and the power of the wind to support his body, Ye Ya easily climbed and supported himself to the middle of the mountain.

I thought it should be no problem for me to climb to the bottom before daybreak.

Because it was night, Ye Ya was climbing down and couldn't see the situation below. He estimated the height of the cliff and his own climbing speed and guessed it.

But when Ye Ya was halfway up, his buttocks obviously touched a foreign object.

“Is this the bottom? Is this cliff lower than I thought? And this is obviously not the texture of rock.”

Ye Ya thought secretly in his heart, then reached out his hand worriedly and touched the back of his butt to see if it was at the bottom.

But what horrified him was that at the same time he stretched out his hand, a hand also rose up from below and touched his hand.

"Are you a [Celestial Dragon] scum? You kidnapped my compatriots. I will bury you in the sea now."

When touching the hand that Ye Ya extended, Ye Ya clearly felt that he was caught by a strong hand, and at the same time, he also heard the other party's loud voice.

Feeling the huge force that his arms were unable to break free from, Ye Ya hurriedly explained.

"Wait, wait, I'm not one of those [Celestial Dragon] rubbish. I'm a captured slave, and now I'm escaping from prison, understand?"

"How could those pampered Celestial Dragons have so much free time that they come to climb the cliffs at night?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ye Ya knew that the other party had obviously recognized the wrong person. It was really amazing that he could climb over the wall at night and meet a companion.

"Indeed, those bastards of the Celestial Dragons don't seem like the people who have the courage to climb this cliff."

"But you do make me curious. You actually have the ability to escape from the Celestial Dragons."

The other party easily believed Yeya's words and let go of his hand. Yeya's words were very convincing. At this time, it was impossible for someone to do such a thing by a Tianlong.

Ye Ya did not answer the other party's question, but was thinking about the other party's identity. He climbed the cliff in the middle of the night to escape, so what was the other party's purpose?

And why did Yeya feel that the other party's behavior of climbing Mary Geoise was strikingly similar to that of a certain fishman?

I wouldn't just climb over a wall and meet another big shot, would I?

But the timing is wrong. Hancock and the others were imprisoned for three years before Tiger came to liberate the slaves. It’s only been a few days now?

Could it be that Tiger arrived early? Or was Hancock caught later? Considering the age of the empress he saw, Yeya was more inclined to the latter.

"Little brother, since you have escaped from Mary Geoise, do you know where those [Mercemen] are imprisoned?"

Because of the darkness, Ye Ya couldn’t see the other person’s appearance and couldn’t confirm his identity.

Then Yeya can be 100% sure that the other party is the one who climbed up Marijoa with his bare hands, freed the slaves, and became the future leader of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger.

Because the other party said before that his compatriots were captured, and now he is asking where the [Merce Man] is being held, so it must be Tiger.

In fact, Tiger hoped that Yeya would go with him. After all, he had never been to Marijoa, and it would be dark there, and he might not be able to find the place where his compatriots were imprisoned.

But the other person had finally escaped, so Taige felt it was a bit unfair to ask him to accompany him back on the adventure, so he asked Ye Ya to see if he knew the whereabouts of his compatriots.

Ye Ya naturally knew the whereabouts of the [Mishmen]. They were a race that was strong and rarer than ordinary ones.

The place where they were imprisoned was closer to the residence of the Celestial Dragons, so the guarding was naturally stricter.

The only thing that is bothering Yeya right now is whether he should accompany Tiger to rescue people.

If the original novel is the same, Tiger finally left Marijoa safely. However, he was betrayed by the human who rescued him, and was injured in the chase. He then refused to receive human blood, which led to his death.

If you help Tiger, you can gain the friendship of [Merce Man] and fulfill your promise to Hancock and the others.

But the only thing that bothered Yeya was that just because Tiger was able to walk out of Marijoa alive, it didn’t mean he could do the same.

Just when Ye Ya was in a dilemma, the "system" that had been silent for a long time helped him give an answer.

"Ding, mission two discovered, help Fisher Tiger, liberate the slaves of Mary Geoise, and leave safely."

"Reward: 100 hero points, and a chance to randomly draw a card."

Originally, Ye Ya wanted to retreat, because even if Ye Ya didn't go, Hancock and the others could be rescued. But now the system gave a task, which made Ye Ya hesitate.

In order to be able to deal with various similar emergencies in the future, Yeya was eager to become stronger, so he only thought about Tiger's request for a moment and then agreed to it.

"Brother, since you want to save your compatriots, I will go with you, because I also have people I want to save!"

Ye Ya had no choice. Although the system did not say what would happen if the mission failed, given the nature of the system, mission failure would definitely not have a good outcome.

Moreover, the reward for this mission made Ye Ya quite excited. The "Unknown Category·Hero Points" from before actually appeared this time.

Although it was only 100 points, there was no doubt that this kind of thing was hard to come by. Ye Ya had completed many tasks in One Punch World before, but this reward had never appeared before.

Chapter 17: Acting with Tiger

After hearing what Yeya said, Tiger was also stunned for a moment.
