The Most Wasteful Fruit Among Pirates

"Miss, you are angry."

"I'm not angry—"

The lady with puffy cheeks tilted her head, she didn't look 'lively' at all.

"Miss, that boy..."

Recalling the blond boy standing in a daze at the alley, the boy in black suit with floral scarf frowned.

"very dangerous!"

"Liar,"

The lady with her hands on her hips turned her head and asked:

"With little Piqué by my side, what danger can there be?"

Forehead···

These words left the boy in the black suit speechless and could only point forward.

"Miss, the auction is about to start."

The young man in black suit, who deliberately lagged behind, rubbed his frowning brows when the lady beside him stepped forward.

It is because of someone like me that you are in danger, miss...

—

"Is it really an auction?"

After discovering that the boy in the suit was suspected to be 'Senior Pique', Rossi immediately climbed onto the roof and followed the two to the entrance of a theater.

At the entrance of this theater, many well-crafted carriages have been parked. Just from the high heads of the coachmen, it can be seen that the owners of these carriages are both rich and noble.

And when the lady and the juvenile version of 'Senior Pique' came to the gate of the opera house, everyone took off their hats and saluted, making Rossi, who was lying on the opposite roof, frowned.

It seems that the lady should be very prestigious.

It really fits the setting of "Miss overflowing with sympathy", so what is the identity of Senior Pique?

family?

Guard?

still···

The reason why Rossi pays so much attention to Senior Pique is because in the future Don Quixote family, Pique can be said to be a rare 'good man'.

He values ​​love and righteousness, is sympathetic to the weak, and is a tough guy who is not good at cheating.

At the same time, in this One Piece world where "abandoning his wife and son" is already a traditional art skill, he is still a good man who cares about his family extremely. In order to make his wife who was seriously injured into a vegetative state smile, she even put on the baby clothes of her dead son...

It can be said that Pique, who has a perverted appearance, is definitely a real gentleman.

He is a hundred times more gentlemanly than those gentlemen who only care about 'elegant' appearance!

"Such a person, as a partner..."

Let's take a look-

Having made up his mind, Rossi quietly retreated from the roof, ready to sneak into the theater around the other side.

—

in the opera house,

A small circle of handsome gentlemen and wealthy businessmen wearing gold and silver, although it is called a 'charity auction', to most people it is just a place where power and money are exchanged.

In addition to these "big men", there are also the female companions they bring to show off, and the family members who increase their knowledge. So Rossi, who changed into a small suit and slowly sipping black tea, did not attract anyone's attention.

The so-called aristocratic 'temperament' is nothing more than an expression of self-confidence. Money and status can bring self-confidence, and powerful violence can also bring self-confidence.

"The next auction is a work from Miss Poliziano Giola: "Spring"!"

The noble lady sitting in the first row of the auction got up and gave a slight salute to the audience, and most of the people in the theater nodded in return.

Of course, everyone's respect is not due to the other party's title of dean of the 'Baisha Orphanage', or his identity as the initiator of this charity auction.

It's because this gentle and beautiful lady is the queen of Acanlia and the ruler of Odense!

Poliziano Giola?

Jorah? !

puff,

In the corner behind, Rosie, who was shocked by the name, spewed out a sip of black tea, drawing the disdainful gaze of the little girl next to her.

"Sorry, sorry,"

"I'm just amazed at the paintings of that Ms. Jorah..."

After putting down the black tea, Rosie smiled. The blond hair paired with a sunny and mature smile made the little girl who was quite despised just now blush.

This little brother is pretty good looking...

"Of course, Miss Jora is the jewel of our Odense!"

As soon as the owner of the painting being auctioned was mentioned, the little girl immediately regained her spirits and told Rossi about the other party's deeds eloquently, obviously treating that noble lady as an idol.

Poliziano Giola, Queen of Acanlia.

At the same time, he was also a famous painter who opened a Baisha Orphanage, so that the orphans in Odense could be properly placed.

High position, beautiful appearance, gentle personality, sincere treatment of others, focusing on government affairs and cultivating orphans. She is still single at the age of 30, and she is the lady with the most suitors in Acanlia...

"When I grow up, I want to be like Miss Jorah—"

"Mmmmmm,"

In the little girl's star-eyed shape, Rossi nodded repeatedly, but she smelled the smell of 'knife' in her heart.

The Jorah he knew was the cadre of the Don Quixote family decades later. She is an extremely noisy and narcissistic aunt with heavy makeup, and this elegant lady who is about to be praised by a little girl in front of her is simply two extremes!

Hmm... I like taking care of children, which is very similar.

It seems—

Rossi looked up at the lady in front of her who was gracefully dealing with the compliments of the surrounding nobles and wealthy businessmen, and finally saw a hint of "Jola" in the future from her hair color.

How could the dignified queen of a country go to the Don Quixote family to fight and kill?

In other words, what huge changes will occur in this Akanlia kingdom?

Rubbing her chin, seeing that the auction still had a long time to go, Rossi turned around and left quietly. Even the little girl who was talking about the queen's deeds only found out after a while that the "little partner" she just met had disappeared. .

—

"Tsk, what kind of broken bar is that!"

When Rossi returned to the pier, Torrebol's curses came from afar.

"It's just a bar girl who actually talks to me about poetry, painting, and ideals...but I just want to sleep—"

"Ahem, don't say this in front of Dover."

The embarrassing Diamanti pulled La Torreport, they are all orphans who grew up in the "garbage disposal area" of Spedamairoz, murder, arson, swindling, women and alcohol are also exposed early .

But Dover is different from Rossi, whether it is temperament or behavior, they are obviously not ordinary people. Talk about having fun in front of them...

"Have you found a buyer for the goods?"

As soon as he stepped on the deck, Rossi heard Torrepol's complaints.

This kind of thing...he can neither help nor want to take care of it.

"It's been negotiated, so it's so easy to do business here."

When it comes to business, Torrebol is no longer obsessed with being refused 'service'.

"The businessmen here are not interested at all, they actually released the purchase price of various materials generously, although it saved us a lot of time, but..."

But Torrebol couldn't enjoy the fun of "bargaining"!

"Fufufu, I heard that the queen here is very wise."

Dover, sitting on the oak barrel, also spoke,

"Maintaining a good relationship with the Navy, she has made the port solid and well-managed the entire city. It is said that her strength and artistic talent are outstanding. I really want to meet her—"

Looking at Dover, who had silk threads dancing in his ten fingers to form various patterns and seized all the time to exercise his fruit ability, Rossi touched his chin.

"According to the information I have obtained, that Queen Jorah should not have a false name. But..."

If there is no accident, it is very likely that an 'accident' will happen to her.

"Pica, here is a letter for you."

While thinking this way, Rossi handed the cake from the charity auction to Pica who was sitting on the deck row, and Pica took the cake and threw it into his mouth.

Gollum,

ah this...

"thanks,"

For Pika, it doesn't matter how many things are there, the heart is the most important thing.

"According to the information we have inquired, this city is worthy of the title of 'Land of Fairy Tales'. It is very suitable as a long-term trading point, but..."

After summarizing what everyone has seen and heard, Rossi found that this city is very good as a trading partner. There are no traces of pirates around, and you don't need to carry a knife or spear to do business. It is almost a rare "clean place" in the world of One Piece.

"The risks at sea cannot be ignored,"

Torrebol pointed out,

"When we came, we killed all the way. ——Without a few of us, it would be difficult for ordinary people to deliver goods to this city."

"That's right,"

But this is not what Rossi is worried about. If the owner of this city is really the future 'Jola', it means that there must be a huge change in this city.

There is also 'Senior Pique', who will also join the Don Quixote family in the future.

Then the emergence of variables must be a certainty!

"In this way, you guys make a deal first, and I'll go get some information later."

After exchanging what he saw and heard with each other, Rossi left the Don Quixote again quietly.

He was going to see if the charity auction was over, and then investigate 'Senior Pique' and 'Poliziano Giola' to see if there were any new discoveries.

Not sure if it was 'the gears of fortune starting to turn' or if Rossi's luck just hit this day. After quietly following the two to the Lord's Mansion in the center of the city, the two targets separated.

The lady-like Jorah entered the lord's mansion surrounded by the servants, while the young Pique, who was the guard, did not rest immediately, but walked towards the pier.

?

With the ability of "Silent Fruit", Rossi hung far behind Pique and saw him walk into a hotel. Not long after, two men in black suits also walked into the hotel.

? !

"Those guys..."

There are many people in this world who like to wear black suits and ties, but unlike the 'calmness' of security personnel and the 'intimidation' of gangster families, these two black suits give Rossi a 'cold' feeling.

"I hope I'm overthinking it,"

A bad conjecture emerged in Rossi's mind. He sneaked into the hotel silently, first climbed to the roof, and then hung down from the roof to enter the attic.

Put your ears on the wooden board, and rely on the fruit-enhanced hearing to search a little bit, and finally heard an indifferent voice at the edge:

"Peak, the mission has begun."

PS: For the Don Quixote family, except for the four suits and Baby-5, which have a little description of their childhood, the others are all whiteboards. So I'll fill it in, and I don't think Oda has time to backstab me with Don Quixote or something.
