Forgive us Big Brother!
On the way, Asdrerd found out more about the little girl and her father.
They were originally from the Sabaody archipelago but did not have a real home; they were on a constant journey for her father's work. Her father was called Green D. Yarven and was the founder of a chain of museums famous all over the seas. His job was to collect various works he considered valid.
They were currently heading to Goa to set up a new art museum. On the way, a gang of criminals looking for the painting attacked the two.
After a while, Asdrerd and Mia saw a tent and stopped.
They were hiding behind a tree not far from the tent, they could see an unarmed person guarding the entrance, dressed as a classic bandit, had the word "ILC" tattooed on his arm surrounded by a heart.
Asdrerd tried to peek with the haki inside the tent, through the entrance.
"Your father is fine, he is tied on a chair, but he is not injured."
He tried to calm the girl down.
"There are 3 bad men inside, you stay hidden here, and I'll take care of your father."
He did not have the skills necessary to protect others, as he did not know how to put the bandits out of the game, so he could not allow the girl to enter.
The girl nodded trusting her big brother. She wanted to run to her father so much, but she managed to understand the situation. It was not the first time that they were chased; she knew that her father was forced to slow down the pace for her. Mia did not want to endanger anyone for her whim.
"Ok! Let's see what I can do."
He wanted to take advantage of these bandits to test his control of the Logia and improve his Haki.
He walked quietly to the tent.
The bandit who saw the scene shouted, "Stop! It's not a place to play this!"
Asdrerd ignored the warning and went up to the guard.
Seeing his warning ignored, the guard, unwilling to harm a child, though, 'He is only a child, perhaps he wants to ask for information.'
"Heyla brat, are you lost?" He asked with a smile on his face. ⊂◉‿◉つ
Seeing the smile Asdrerd thought: 'That smile ... is the same as pedophiles in my world, pretends to behave well and then kidnaps children, what scum!'
"No! I want to come in." He said pointing to the tent.
'Oh no! I cannot let him in, but I do not even want to hurt him, what can I do? AH! I can block it!' The guard thought with a smile, he was happy to be able to obey his task without hurting the child in front of him.
He reached out to try to catch Asdrerd.
'I knew it! He wants to take me and sell me to nobles! And he dares to do this with a smile on his face.'
Asdrerd usually wouldn't get involved in this business, but the idea that this thing could happen to his daughter made him angry. He did not even realize it, deep in his heart, he felt guilty for neglecting his daughter, but if he could go back in time, he would still make the same mistake.
He decided not to dodge and use the Logia effect, the bandit's hands pierced his body transformed into colors.
The fear bandit did not even see Asdrerd was fine and immediately thought, 'Oh no! How could that happen? I killed an innocent child! How can I go back to my family after this?' He was desperate; he no longer knew what to do.
Asdrerd was thinking about how to kill the scum in front of him, but nothing came to mind, he could only dodge.
Shortly thereafter, the guard withdrew his arms and ran into the tent.
'I killed a boy! I killed a child!' He was blaming himself in his mind.
The man thought only of running desperately inside the tent to warn his companions about the accident.
Seeing the scene, Asdrerd entered the tent behind the guard.
Inside he saw two other classic bandits, the same as the guard outside. The leader was the one sitting reading the newspaper, he was the same as his companions, but he was slightly taller and more muscular. The boss had the <
"Boss! I killed a child!" The guard yelled at his boss.
Selling the guard bragging about killing him and the writing on the boss's back, Asdrerd let out spots of colors that began to float around him. Then throwing them at high speed on the bandits, without doing them the slightest damage.
'As I suspected I can't do anything huh?' Asdrerd thought after seeing the scene. He thought that maybe they could have additional effects based on color.
Seeing the spots floating and landing on them, the boss got up and saw a child, his mouth touched the ground in surprise. Tears of joy came out of his eyes, and he threw himself on the ground to bow.
"𝗬-𝗬𝗢𝗨! 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗨! Asdrerd! Our God!"
"Eh?" The guard and Asdrerd said at the same time.
The guard turned and saw the boy alive and started to cry. (╥﹏╥)
"He is alive! Is alive!!!!!" He screamed with joy, throwing himself on the ground.
"Brothers bow down before our God! The Naked Kid!" The boss still on his knees screamed.
"𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧?! Is he the legendary boy with a 533 million bounty, who infiltrated Marijoa to try to free the other enslaved children? One of the bandits asked before throwing himself next to his head on the ground to bow.
"𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧?!?! Is he the legendary child who decided to join in the Shichibukai, who decided to sacrifice his freedom only for the good of children around the world? The other bandit asked before doing the same thing.
"EH?" Asdrerd said confusedly.
"Papà!!!" Hearing noises and not seeing anyone come out, the girl could no longer stay hidden and entered the tent.
"Mia! I am so happy to see that you are fine." The father saw his daughter and immediately felt much better.
"I asked the big brother for help." The girl pointed to Asdrerd.
Hearing the little girl call their God a big brother, the 4 bandits beat their heads on the ground and shouted together: "𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙂𝙄𝙑𝙀 𝙐𝙎 𝘽𝙍𝙊𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍!"
"We didn't hurt your sister's father; we just wanted to force him to give us a valuable picture for the good of our group, ILC!"
The group leader told his new boss, the Naked Kid.
"They didn't do anything to me, they explained to me about this group. They take care of protecting children around the world, welcome orphans and are raising funds to open a center where all children can feel happy."
The girl's father explained by looking at Asdrerd.
The leader of this group got up and freed the man with tears of joy.
Mr. Green had short black hair, brown eyes and was elegantly dressed.
"Thanks, Mr. Green, we were wrong to tie you up."
Then looking at the god in front of him he said, "As Mr. Green said, our <<𝙸𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚗>> group aims to ensure the safety of every single child in this world. No matter where they come from, social status or whatever. The children are a treasure that must be protected! And as such, your name is a very important symbol for our whole group."
After understanding the situation and calming down, he asked, "Could you explain this bounty story to me?"
"Oooo haven't you read the news that tells about your greatness yet?" The head of the children's fan club picked up the newspaper and bowed before handing it over to Asdrerd.
