262- Rosie

A month ago when Ethan just started looking for talent.

"I've identified all the talents on this island and I put a space mark so it's time to move to the next island." While Ethan is ready to fly away, he notices two people chasing a little girl.

"Stop, thief!" shouted one of these two men, then sped up at an increasing speed until he reached the girl and hit her on the back with a stick, causing her to fall to the ground, but she kept holding on to the thing she had stolen.

"This is the tenth time you've been stealing from us, do you think we'll be silent about this every time?" One of them grabbed her by her red hair and pulled her hard and carried her off the ground by her hair.

"You two, stop this." Ethan walked towards these two people and his body was emitting a cold aura that made the two of them shiver.

Ethan was not a good person but he was disturbed by what he saw.

That little girl with red hair was very thin and had dark circles under her eyes. It is not known whether it was caused by lack of sleep, fatigue, illness, or perhaps the three reasons.

Her face was pale and her skin seemed to stick to her skull, as if she was a mummified, all due to lack of nutrition.

She was holding the piece of bread she had stole tightly and never left it despite the weakness of her hands. It was as if her instinct was telling her that if she left that piece of bread she would lose her life from starvation.

Although Ethan knows that such a thing happens all over the world, seeing it with his own eyes made him really angry.

Fear reached the bones of the two of them when looking at Ethan, who wore a black mask and black clothes, and his height exceeded nine feet, so the two quickly ran away, fearing for their lives.

As they ran, Ethan appeared in front of them and grabbed their faces and then with great force smashed their heads on the stone floor.

Then Ethan returned to the little girl and saw that she was still on the ground and seemed to have no energy to stand up and walk away.

Life energy appeared in Ethan's hand and touched her body, the green energy spread all over her body and the injury on her back recovered and some of her energy was restored so she was able to move.

She stood and looked at Ethan in amazement, but she didn't go away and kept looking at him.

"What's your name? What's your age?" Ethan asked while patting her head.

"I don't know!" She said in a hoarse voice as if she was an old woman.

"What?!" Ethan was shocked that even the beggars and orphans knew their names or at some point named themselves.

Ethan used his system to see her name and age and what he saw left him shocked.

...

Name: none

Nickname: Useless Piece of Shit

Age: 18

...

[This seems to be what the townspeople are naming this little girl.]

Veins appeared on Ethan's forehead in anger but this wasn't evident due to the mask, 'Isn't there a good person in this city to take care of her.'

[Not everyone is kind-hearted, and also most people care about themselves more than others.]

[But considering that she is alive so far, it seems that some people give her enough food to live, but this led to her torturing her more because the food is not enough and did not satisfy her stomach hunger. This led to a body that did not get enough food and starvation, because the food they provide for her is not enough to satiate her just to keep her alive.]

[Mostly this happens all over this world and this girl is not the only one who has gone through the same situation.]

Ethan calmed the anger within him and hugged her, "From today onwards your name is Rosie, you will come to live with me and you will have enough food to satisfy your hunger and a warm bed to sleep in."

This was the first time someone spoke to her so kindly and told her these words.She first felt warm when Ethan hugged her.

She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry and not a single tear fell from her eyes, so to express her feelings She grabbed Ethan's clothes tight and buried her face in his chest.

Ethan put one hand on her head and the other on her legs and he gently held her and then used teleportation to go home and saw Emma in the living room with some papers in her hand.

Emma wanted to welcome Ethan back but saw a very ugly little girl like a skeleton in his arms and she smells so foul as if she has never bathed in her life.

"what happened?" Emma said worriedly as she approached the little girl and didn't seem to care about the stench.

Ethan briefly explained what happened to her, then Emma took the little girl from him and asked him to make some porridge for Rosie as she walked towards the bath.

Emma took off Rosie's ragged clothes and Emma was shocked by what she saw, the girl was only skin and bone she looked like a mummy.

The girl didn't look embarrassed at all and looked at Emma who started washing her body and felt feelings she had never felt before which made her confused but she stayed calm and didn't say a single thing.

After she finished cleaning her body, Emma dried Rosie's body, combed her hair, then bought clothes from the system store and had the little girl wear them.

The two of them came out of the bath and Ethan had finished making porridge for Rosie.

Ethan told Rosie to sit down and eat porridge, and she did as he said and started eating.

"Delicious!" Rosie said this and started eating quickly as if she was afraid that food would escape her.

Ethan and Emma stood away as they watched her eat, "Ethan, what are you planning to do with this girl?"

"Although she does not have much talent, I want to make her join the guild." Ethan sighed, "Also from now on, our guild will accept orphans from all over the world, no matter if they have talent or not."

"It will be very difficult, and we will not be able to provide food for so many people." Emma frowned because it was not only a question of food but of housing, clothing, education and other things that it would be difficult to manage all of this.

"There is nothing to worry about in terms of food because the sea is very wide and we can hunt sea kings for food." Ethan shrugged his shoulders and then took out a piece of paper and gave it to Emma, ​​"I designed a contract for the people who join the guild not to betray us at some point so no matter how many guild members there are, there is no danger of spies or betrayal."

Emma took the contract from Ethan and read it, then nodded and hid the paper between her breasts.

After that, Emma used her devil fruit, her hair became white, her eyes were red, and rabbit ears appeared above her head.

"what are you doing?" Ethan looked at her in confusion.

"I ate a Rabbit Rabbit Fruit, Model: Moon Goddess." Emma smiled and Mortar and pestle appeared in her hands. "This fruit gives me the ability to make all kinds of elixirs. I can even make an elixir of immortality if I have the ingredients for it."

Ethan's eyes twinkled upon hearing that, "This is a really useful ability."

"Yes, it is very useful." Emma can also make an elixir to enhance beauty or an elixir to remove impurities from the body and other elixirs. "Anyway, I have to make an elixir to treat this little girl."

"She's not a little girl, she's 18." Ethan smiled upon seeing Emma's eyes open wide.
