Vol 4 Chapter 138: Kraken's residence

Guru...
There was a whisper of dissatisfaction in his stomach, Robin lowered his head, and a dim look appeared on his hungry little face.
She seldom gets enough to eat, and she undertakes huge housework at a young age, but her daily food is only dry brown bread and clean water. She is already familiar with the feeling of hunger through years of hard life.
But being familiar does not mean being able to ignore it, especially since she is just a child.
Looking around, the setting sun had gradually fallen from the sea level, and the cool breeze began to blow, and she shivered. Hunger and cold hit together, and a lonely despair naturally arises in my heart.
She gritted her teeth and walked out of the small city. She couldn't stay here. The neighbors knew her. If she saw her whereabouts, she would tell her uncle.
Because of the power of Devil Fruit, she has been treated as an outlier since she was a child, and no one in the whole town liked her.
Unknowingly, he has come to the beach. The sunset has all been submerged below the sea level, and only the last afterglow is shining. The rising tide of the sea comes with the sound of tidal waves. Robin sits on a rock high up, shrinking Looking towards the sea.
As a person living by the sea, looking for food in the sea is the most basic life skill. But because of the devil's fruit, she couldn't get the sea water, not to mention the current high tide, she had to keep a safe distance.
The sea mist surged, and she turned her head to look aside. The sea mist had completely enveloped her there.
For two seconds, she suddenly thought of the legends in the mouths of the adults over the past year. It seemed that the legendary sea monster appeared on the coast. They wrapped a section of the coast in thick fog. Anyone who dared to break in would become their "ration." ".
Once it's night, the siren will walk out of the thick fog to hunt in the city, and their target is like little girls under ten.
When she thought of this legend, Robin's face changed. Although she is currently living in depression, she still doesn't want to die, especially the food for the legendary sea monster, which made her feel fearful.
I have to say that people's imagination is rich. Just because of the fog that would go back to the original point, the people in the town made up similar stories, even the details of which were perfect and very specific.
Perhaps this original story was just thought of by a mentally exhausted mother who was tortured by crying children all night. After it was spread, people's natural brain replenishment ability was fully developed, and a vivid story appeared.
If you add the precipitation of time, it doesn’t take long. It only takes ten or twenty years. The legend of the sea monster on the coast of O’Hara will spread throughout the entire sea, and even spread to the Great Channel over time. Go in.
Robin didn't know the truth. Even if she was very precocious due to the hardship of life, she was essentially just a seven-year-old girl with a natural fear of things like sea monsters and ghosts.
Jumping off the stone without thinking, she hurried towards the town. I just hope that the Sea-Monsters will go out later today, and don't let yourself become that unlucky ghost.
After only two steps, she became desperate. At some point, there was thick fog all around her. She completely lost her sense of direction, and even the sound of waves in the silent space became thinner.
Humans are a kind of creatures that are very good at scaring themselves. The quieter the environment, the more helpful it is to replenish the brain.
Robin's face had turned pale, she didn't dare to stay at this dangerous seashore for a moment, no matter which direction it was, she ran out like she was fleeing.
I don't know how long I ran, anyway, the thick fog around me didn't change anything, only the pitted stones at her feet told her that she was still on her way.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her eyes light up, and she walked out of the dense fog on the seashore.
But what appeared before her eyes was not the picture she had imagined. It was a trail covered with pebbles, surrounded by unknown flowers and trees, and the bright moonlight shone on the distant sea with sparkling luster.
From her point of view, there seems to be a wooden house at the end of the trail. Because of the moonlight, it is somewhat unrealistic, but there is no doubt that it exists.
There is no fog around.
Robin's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she saw. Having lived on the island for so long, she never knew there was a house here. And where did the dense fog just go?
She took a step backwards in doubt. For a moment, she was surrounded by a vast white space, and the silence completely wrapped her, returning to the anxiety state just now.
Hurriedly walked forward, the scenery changed abruptly, and there were two completely different worlds just one step away. She was a little scared and a little curious and walked down the trail.
No matter where it was, she didn't want to go back to the thick fog, she never wanted to feel the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world again.
The moonlight was shining on the road she was walking on, and she walked very slowly, trying not to let the footsteps make any noise. I kept thinking in my mind, is the wooden house in this dense fog the residence of the sea monster that the adults said? Or is it a reclusive old man?
What if the people here don't like me as much as the people in town? I don't want to spend the night in that thick fog.
The chaotic thoughts flashed one by one, but without anything helpful, she had approached the wooden house. A fence encloses the wooden house, and the neat ground in the courtyard has flowers that have never been seen before, and they are blooming in the moonlight.
He sighed quietly in his heart. It didn't look like the house of the sea monster. I heard the adults say that the sea monster would not take care of his own land.
Pushing away the wooden stakes, and walking cautiously inside. There was no light in the room, so she looked inside by the moonlight. The room was quiet and the objects placed were simple, unlike people inside.
She hesitated whether to open the door or not. It would be very impolite to break in if the owner was not at home.
Guru...
When she hesitated, her stomach rang again in despair.
"It's over!" She squatted directly on the ground. If someone in the room would have heard it, what would she be treated as a thief, a robber, a homeless beggar?
Will the other party come to drive himself away?
In my wild thoughts, time passed, and no one came out in the house. ..
