What Usopp said was of course true, but when Usopp looked at Rimuru, Rimuru had already spotted him!
Rimuru naturally would not expose his whereabouts. As soon as he came ashore, he used the predator to swallow the warship into his stomach, and also ordered the sailors to disguise themselves as merchants and tourists.
He even cleared all the footprints on the beach, so Usopp and Cloe didn't find Rimuru's whereabouts.
"Strange, where is Captain Usopp?"
The three little onions were wandering around the village. He was worried that Usopp had no food to eat, so he brought some buns from home.
But in just half an hour, he discovered that his great captain was missing.
"He must be hiding somewhere and sleeping..."
"There are so many businessmen and tourists in the village... Are there usually so many people?"
After walking around Onion Head, I found many unfamiliar faces, but I didn't think much about it and went to play with my other two friends.
The village of Xilubu as a whole is not wealthy, and Kaya is the only noble here, so her residence is very easy to find. In less than an hour, Rimuru and his three companions arrived in front of Kaya's villa.
There was a knock on the door. After a while, Meli, wearing a sheep hat on his head, opened the door.
"Crabatel, you're back so soon. Usopp must have lied again, haha... Hey? Who are you?"
I originally thought it was Krabatel who came back, but I found that the people who appeared before me were a young man and three beautiful girls I had never seen before. They were wearing gorgeous clothes and it was obvious that they were not from the village.
Merry immediately stopped smiling and began to feel confused.
"We are the Devouring Empire."
"Devouring the Empire?"
Meli scratched his head in confusion, he had never heard of it.
"Currently, our main business is catching pirates..."
"Oh, a bounty hunter!"
Meli understood immediately.
However, Merry looked at Rimuru and the other three, and it was obvious that he didn't believe that they were bounty hunters. Just as Merry was about to close the door...
boom!
Shion conjured up a large sword out of thin air and smashed it through the ground, and Merry immediately became obedient.
Rimuru: ...
"There is news that there is a pirate with 16 million berries hiding in this village. You are the only famous family on this island. I want to ask you about this person's whereabouts."
Hearing this, Meli suddenly became nervous.
"16 million Baileys!"
Merry was shocked, that was a great pirate!
Thinking of what Usopp had just said, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that pirates had really sneaked into the village? !
Thinking of this, Merry immediately nodded in agreement: "Do you have any information about this pirate? For example, a bounty order or something... There are not many people in the village. If I have seen him, I will definitely recognize him!"
When he was in the 16th branch, Rimuru got a stack of wanted posters, among which was one for Clo three years ago.
He took out a bounty from his stomach and handed it to Meli. Meli did not dare to delay and took it quickly. When Meli saw the face of the person on the bounty, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Isn't this Butler Crabbartel?"
Merry looked at Rimuru in disbelief, "You must be mistaken. How could Crabatelle be a pirate?"
"Look carefully, there is a navy seal on it. It cannot be forged."
Rimuru naturally knew that Krabatel was Baijikulo, but in order to make Kaya and Meli accept it better, Rimuru had to recount what happened three years ago.
"Baiji Clo, with a bounty of 16 million, was arrested by the current Navy Captain Monka three years ago, but that was all a play directed and performed by Clo, just to retire from the underworld."
"According to the information I know, Baiji Kro is now on this island! Combined with what you just said, the butler Crabatel you mentioned must be Baiji Kro without a doubt!"
"This...this I need to ask the lady to confirm!"
Meli felt dazed. Both the bounty order and the time mentioned by Rimuru matched. Krabat really came here three years ago!
"Come with me!"
Unable to make up his mind for a moment, Merry had to take Rimuru and the other three into the villa.
"What? The butler is a pirate? A 16 million-strong pirate at that?"
Like Merry, Kaya didn't believe it when she learned that the butler who had taken care of her for three years was a pirate.
But the official seal on the bounty order cannot be forged. Even if Keya doesn't believe it, she has to face the reality.
"But... why? If Butler Crabatere was really a pirate, why did he take care of me for three years?"
Ke Ya couldn't help but say, her face, which was already pale due to the illness, became even paler.
"If he hadn't taken care of you, you might still be living a healthy life."
Rimuru sighed, "And your parents won't die."
"He did this to get rid of the navy's pursuit. He pretended to take care of you and eventually obtained your property legally. He could not only obtain a large amount of property but also no longer have to live in fear."
…
"I didn't expect that my parents were killed by the people I saved..."
Through a simple conversation with Rimuru, Kaya learned all the truth about the past three years.
Recalling the appearance of her parents and the fact that she still trusted Krabatel before they died, oh no, it should be Clo, Kaya clenched her fists in anger.
"Sir Rimuru, please make sure to put Cloro in jail!" Kaya forced a pale smile: "I probably won't live much longer. If you can catch Cloro, I can give you my property."
"Ms. Keya!"
Seeing this, Meli looked at Kaya worriedly, and felt angry and hateful towards Clo.
"Not only can I catch Clo," Rimuru said with a smile, "most importantly, I can also save your life."
"That's impossible. I've seen many famous doctors over the past year but to no avail. How could I not know my own body?"
"Really? Then who is responsible for finding a doctor?"
"Yes...it's Clo..."
Ke Ya was suddenly speechless.
"Don't worry, even if it's a disease that can't be cured by modern medicine, I can still cure you."
As he said that, Rimuru instantly turned into a ball of slime and wrapped Kaya up.
Healing technique!
Also known as pill swallowing therapy!
Everything happened so fast that when Merry reacted, Kaya had been "vomited" out by the slime, and the slime turned back into Rimuru's appearance.
"Ms. Keya! You guys..."
In a panic, Merry pulled out a pistol from the drawer behind him and pointed it at Rimuru and the others.
Just as he was about to shoot, Kaya's voice came.
"Wait, Merry, I, it seems that my illness has been cured!"
Unlike her previous weak voice, Keya's voice is now clear and crisp, and even her face looks rosy.
Recalling the inexplicable feeling of warmth and comfort just now, Ke Ya's rosy face turned even redder.
