Chapter 20: Shirya

My name is Shirya. I was a resident of tea island in this sea area. One day, My homeland got attacked by a neighbour's island and I am escaping from the pursuit of the people who attack my hometown. Until that makes me the only survivor of that incident and stranded on this island.

----

Jovan at this time looked at this woman who he caught and tied with a rope of darkness. She has a good developed mature body, wearing a black coat and hat, and a red katana hanging on her waist.

"So, who are you, and what are you doing on this island, woman?", ask Jovan.

"Me? I am Shirya the only survivor who successfully escaped from her hometown, tea Island. I am 19 years old this year. And I am already on this island for 5 years.", replied Shirya.

Her straightness and compromise to tell everything make Jovan stunned, "Oh, you are surprisingly an interesting woman. I thought I will use some means first to extract information from you."

"I think there is nothing to hide from the strong people like you. The moment, I got caught I must prepare for the worst. Besides that even if I want to resist no one can help me. So, in this situation why don't you just submit and compromise in case to get less suffering? Looks at the fact, my decision was right.", said Shirya casually.

"Hahaha, good decisions. Yes, you are right. Tell me, woman, do you want to join me?", Jovan who already get his answer. He didn't hesitate to recruit this woman named Shirya.

Not only because of her realistic point of view but also her talent. If Jovan guesses right, she is a Devil Fruit user who eats Clear-clear fruit. Not only that, her levels must be not low which can make her hide from me even though I am using a Sharingan.

"Join you? Even though you look like give me a choice to choose. The truth I didn't have a choice at all. Because once I am rejected you will kill me.", said Shirya.

"Yeah, you are right, Shirya. But don't worry, once you join me. Your problem is my problem. So in the word, I will help you gain the strength for revenge. Not only that I will also lend you my strength if necessary.", said Jovan casually while waiting for her answer.

Hearing this, Shirya got surprised beyond words. After all, she is already prepared to compromise and become this person's subordinate or dead man. Even though, she is a native person. She knows about the Lord's things.

She also observed this man in front of him in the past few days and determine his identity as a lord. In the past, when she got knowledge about 'The Lord' from her parents.

She knows that Lord just treats them as a mob that can be used and thrown away after their value is gone. Not only that, her father itself, once became a subordinate or troop of a certain lord.

But then got sacrificed or used as a dead man to protect his lord, fortunately, he is got saved by his mother who found him at that time and eventually becomes her father.

So her father who knows about the 'Lord' tell everything to his daughter. He tells her that Lord just treats them as a tool or so alike. He tells her that Lord just care about themselves and doesn't care about their subordinates, especially the strong lord. That makes her point of view about the 'Lord' bad.

"Why?", Shirya subconsciously asked.

"Huh? why? do you say?? It is easy for every troop that I recruit. I am already regarding them as my partner, family, weapon and property. So I will be cherished all of them like a treasure. In this life, I have principles that I will never abandon and leave my partner as long as they are not betrayed me. Of course, I am only recruiting women troops because I like it. As for men, I will sell them to another lord.", replied Jovan.

'Looks like, all things taught by my father about Lord. All are not necessarily true. At least I found a good one or not bad on here.', Shirya thought in her heart after hearing Jovan's reply.

"So, Shirya, do you want to become my partner?", ask Jovan once again.

"I, Shirya, meet Lord.", said while bowing her head in submission.

"Hehe, Good looks like you didn't disappoint me.", Jovan said while waving his hand and releasing Shirya from the rope of darkness.

After she got released, Shirya immediately stand by and waited for his order. "Okay, that's it. You follow me. Let's go to my territory and tell me about your homeland.", Jovan said to her and start walking towards the territory.

"Yes, Lord. As you wish.", said Shirya while following him.

As remembered something, Shirya got stopped and said to Jovan, "Wait, Lord. Shirya has treasures that she gathers in these 5 years from this island. Shirya wants to dedicate these treasures to the lord."

Jovan hearing this got surprised but not surprised. After he is Seeing her status and intimacy points her to him.

'B+ quality looks like her Homeland Island is not a weak Island or her luck is not bad and gets a treasure to upgrade her quality. More importantly, her skills didn't disappoint me at all.' Jovan thought.

"Treasure, huh?", Jovan pondered.

"Yes, lord. Shirya will give all treasures to the lord. After all, Shirya thinks these treasures will be much useful in the lord's hand.", said Shirya.

"All right, if you insist I will take care of your treasure.", said Jovan.

"Yes, Lord. Please follow Shirya.", said Shirya and take a lead to a deep of cave.
