Ding Li finished reading, exhaling slowly. A few months in this world and he was already East Blue's top tier. But the road ahead was endless—Haki, Awakening, Emperors, Gods…

Still… for now, this tiny island was safe.

The villagers had been waiting in awkward silence while he zoned out. He finally looked up.

"Sorry, got lost in thought. Thanks for the info earlier. You're free to go."

He untied the young man's ropes.

The boy—seventeen, thin, eyes hollow—stared in disbelief.

"Follow me."

They stepped onto the deck. Sea breeze cooled their faces.

Ding Li studied him. "You're young. Not even twenty. Tell me about yourself."

The boy swallowed. "My name is Efukid. I'm seventeen. Four years ago, in Shells Town, my parents and I lived a normal life. One day we went shopping… and ran into Black Rat."

His voice cracked. "He wanted my mother. My father tried to stop him. Black Rat killed him. Then he… he tied me up and forced me to watch while he… for seven days. My mother… she didn't survive."

Ding Li's fists clenched until his knuckles whitened.

"I wanted to die fighting him," Efukid continued. "But I lied. Said I knew where treasure was hidden. Kept feeding him new lies—said the real stash was in the Grand Line. He believed me. Kept me alive. All this time… I waited for someone strong enough to kill him."

Tears streamed down the boy's face. "I have a little sister. Sixteen now. I don't even know if she's alive. Please… let me go find her."

Ding Li's eyes softened. He knew that pain—losing parents, the helplessness.

"Go. You're free."

Efukid dropped to his knees, forehead to the deck three times. "Thank you… benefactor. I'll repay this kindness one day."

He stood, bowed deeply, and ran without looking back.

Ding Li watched him disappear toward the horizon. "Good luck, Efukid."

He clenched his fist. I have to get stronger. Strong enough that no one can ever hurt the people I care about again.
