"How long will it take to get to the next island? I'm almost starving..."

Three days have passed since the Straw Hat Pirates set sail from an unknown uninhabited island. The food supplies on the ship are no longer enough, and the prisoners who are short of food are holding fishing rods on the edge of the ship and complaining.

"Don't shout, Luffy. Reflect on who sneaked into the kitchen at night and ate all the food in the refrigerator."

"Ah, is it me?" Facing the angry Sanji, Luffy scratched his head and scratched his head blankly, "Then there is nothing we can do, hahahaha, fishing, fishing!"

"Miss Nami, look at him! We really need to add a lockable refrigerator to the boat."

"I will seriously consider it." Nami sighed and held her forehead, "Alicia, is there an island ahead?"

"Not yet...wait a minute, I saw the island!" Alicia stood on the bow of the ship, holding up a telescope, and shouted to her companions, followed by a hint of hesitation in her voice, "Ah, but it's a little strange."

"Weird? Could it be that he saw a monster?" Usopp became nervous. He put on his goggles and looked at the island in front of him, showing the same strange expression as Alicia, "It's really strange..."

"What's going on, Alicia, Usopp?" Nami asked.

"The island is full of children." Usopp felt incredible.

"Are they all children?" Nami was puzzled, "Are there no adults at all?"

"There is currently no trace of the adults." Alicia put down the telescope.

"Anyway, just go and see it and you'll know? But it's an island full of children... there must be a lot of delicious food, right?" Luffy fell into a fantasy of food.

The Meili docked outside the island, and the children playing on the shore all looked at the group of people on the boat.

"It's a pirate ship."

"Hey, Gabe, are those people pirates?"

"It should be."

Looking at the children who were not afraid of the pirates but instead started talking about them, Nami stood on the deck and asked them:

"Kid, my sister would like to ask, where is this place?"

"This is Happy Town."

"Happiness Town?" Luffy raised his head and shouted, "Is there a lot of delicious food in this town?"

"There is a happy candy store!"

“A happy dessert shop with great smell!”

"Wow, dessert!" Luffy jumped off the Merry with bright eyes. The children, who had been very friendly at first, suddenly became angry and each grabbed pebbles and threw them at Luffy.

"Ah! What are you doing!" Luffy blocked the stones and looked at the children unhappily.

"Don't come to our island!"

"Yes! Go back! You are an adult and will bring bad luck!"

"Only for kids!"

Something is not right, so Zoro temporarily calls Luffy back to the Merry. A group of people squatted in a circle on the deck, discussing the scene just now.

"This town is too weird." Usopp.

"The children's attitude is also very strange." Chopper.

"They say adults bring bad luck, only children can...what do you mean?" Nami.

"No fair, I also want to try the candies and desserts here." Luffy.

"If they are all brats, there shouldn't be any wine to sell, right?" Zoro said.

"Think of something practical, Greenhead." Sanji.

"Who do you think is the green algae head, you curly eyebrow?" Zhuo Luo.

"Huh? Are you dissatisfied?" Sanji.

"You two, stop it!" Nami said.

"Gah." Kentaro, who has an extremely weak sense of presence.

"This town doesn't give me a good feeling. There seems to be something hidden." Robin.

"But if you are not a child, you are not allowed to log in. What should I do?" Usopp.

"It's okay as long as it's a child." Alicia.

"But we are all adults, where are the children?" Usopp.

"Me." Alicia.

"Eh? Is Alicia still a child?" Chopper said.

"Hey, Nami, Alicia said she was still a child, poof-" Usopp.

"Please stop joking at this time." Nami.

"Little Alicia is as cute as a child~" Sanji.

"Idiot perverted cook." Zoro.

"Ah! Is that that one? Alicia." Luffy.

"Yes, that's the one." Alicia.

In the eyes of their friends who were full of doubts, Luffy and Alicia showed sly expressions at the same time.

"Mystery - Loli Transformation~" Shouting a completely unnecessary slogan, Alicia switched to the role of a scholar while everyone was stunned.

"Changed, turned into a child?!"

"I miss Alicia so much when I was a child!" Luffy pounced on Alicia and rubbed her head. "Shall we go catch the big lizard together later?"

"Luffy, there's more business to do."

Alicia pushed Luffy away and climbed up the edge of the boat with difficulty with her short legs.

"Hey, I'm a kid, can I go to the island?"

"Okay, do you want to play and build sandcastles with us?" One of the children enthusiastically invited.

"But I'd rather like to eat dessert." Alicia held her chin, acting like a child without any sense of violation, "Well, I'm a little scared to be alone. Can my mother accompany me? "

"Eh? But adults can't enter the island."

"My mother is super gentle and a great beauty. She will never bring bad luck to anyone, I swear by my cuteness!"

"Gabe..." The children looked at a boy at the same time, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

"Will you stay with us on this island?" asked the boy named Gabe.

"Yes! Of course!" Alicia opened her big round eyes, and even the background was covered with pink flowers. "I want to hang out with my new friends!"

"Okay, but only for a while. Your mother must not stay here for too long, otherwise Mayor Juice will be furious if he finds out."

"Done!" Alicia looked back at her friends proudly, and stretched out her fleshy little hand towards Robin, "Mom, Lily wants a hug."

"Ah, okay, mom, let's carry you down." Robin picked up Alicia cooperatively, sighing in his heart that from a certain perspective, this person is quite scary.

"Okay! Yes! Love!" Sanji breathed out from his nostrils, watching Alicia's expression gradually change. "Little Alicia is so cute~ Ah~ If little Alicia and I have a daughter, will she be so cute?"

"Mom, there is something wrong with you." Alicia looked disgusted.

"Ah, don't look at it, Lily, you'll go blind." Robin covered Alicia's eyes with his hand.

"Can you really stay here by yourself?" Robin looked at Alicia who had turned into a child worriedly.

"Don't worry, Robin, I'm still strong even if it turns out like this." Alicia shook her little hand, and a cannon that didn't fit her current height appeared in her hand. She put the cannon on her shoulder with great momentum and winked at Robin cutely, "Go and find out the information in peace, Mom, Lily will be here waiting for you to come back. If there is a bad guy who wants to take Lily away, Lily will blow them all to pieces with a bang~"

"..." It's indeed a bit scary, Robin thought.

In a secluded corner, Alicia quietly waited for Robin to return. When I was bored, a phone bug in my backpack made some noise.

"Ah! It's the one I gave to the dragon in Rogge Town!"

Alicia happily took out the phone and answered it:

"Hey, hey! Is it Sabo?"

"..."

"Sabo?"

"Do you know me? But I have no impression of you..." The voice from the other end of the phone was a little distorted, "Well, I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you asked Mr. Long to give this call Leave it to me, but if there's nothing important, I'll be troubled."

"Ah..." Alicia scratched her chin, and the light in her eyes dimmed. "Goa Kingdom, Mount Gerbo, Ace, Luffy, Alicia, Dadan, you don't remember any of these."

"...So it's someone who knew me before? I'm sorry, I don't remember anything about the past."

"..."

"Excuse me, is there anything else?"

Even through the phone bug, Alicia could hear the unfamiliar politeness and vigilance in Sabo's words.

"Well, there is something very important."

"……Please say?"

"Think of it quickly, Sabo."

"I actually don't care too much about what happened to me in the past."

"You don't care even if Ace dies?" Alicia complained.

"Ace? A pirate? Why should I care about the life or death of a pirate?"

"...I hate Sabo the most." Alicia puffed out her cheeks and gritted her teeth.

"Miss, is it too rude to be aggressive?" Sabo's voice turned completely cold, "I will deal with this phone bug after the call is over, then-"

"Asshole, don't cry when you have the ability."

"I won't cry-"

"Pink-haired lady!" Robin ran back panting, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Robin, what's wrong?" Alicia looked up and asked.

"Robin? Hello, is this Nicole Robin?"

On the other end of the phone, Sabo reacted violently when he heard Robin's name, and Alicia hung up the call directly.

"Phone bug?" Robin frowned and had no time to pursue the phone bug. "My intuition was right. There is indeed something hidden on this island. Those children are all trafficked people who were kept in the dark."

"In other words... this is the base of human trafficking?"

"That's probably true. According to the information I gathered, the only adult on this island is the manager. The children call him Mayor Juice. He and his organization have built this place into a paradise of children's dreams. When a buyer contacts them, they will arrange a boat to trick the children onto the boat and sell them across the country, and even sell them to organizations that sell human organs."

"That's too much... Where's the navy? Doesn't it matter if the navy has jurisdiction over this sea area?"

"It's a pity that the Navy Captain and Mayor Juice who manage this area are like a snake and a rat." Robin looked serious. "We'd better go back to the ship and tell everyone that it's better to leave here as soon as possible."

"But those children don't know the truth, so should we let it go?"

"There are too many children, and we can't deal with the aftermath. Unless we can contact a reliable navy, but we are pirates, and we might be in danger."

The phone rang relentlessly at this moment, and Alicia quickly picked it up.

"Sabo?"

"Answer me, is Nicole Robin with you?"

"Now is not the time to say this. Listen to me carefully. Apart from the revolutionary army, I don't know who else can do this."

Without waiting for Sabo to interrupt, Alicia told him what Robin had discovered on Happy Island.

"So is there any way you can send someone here? Even if we want to help now, there is nothing we can do. We are pirates, so we can't go to the navy, right?"

"Nicole Robin is working as a pirate with you?"

"Not even Sabo is allowed to have any ideas about Robin! She is our partner!"

"Although I can't be sure if it's a trap targeting the revolutionary army, if it concerns children, I will still contact someone to check it out."

"Is Sabo coming?"

"I can't go. Hey, give the phone bug to Nicole Robin first. I have something to tell her."

"I don't remember that our Saab is not qualified to make requests. Even if you agree to help, I still decide to hate you." After Alicia said, she hung up the phone bug again and put it back in her backpack. "Then let's run away quickly, otherwise it may put the children in danger if we are discovered."

"Revolutionary Army? I can really rest assured if I leave it to them."

"Robin, hug, let's get away."

"The pink-haired lady is very mysterious." Robin picked up Alicia and ran towards the outside of the island.

"You flatter me so much."

"But why are the people from the Revolutionary Army looking for me?"

"Because Robin is so good, everyone wants to poach us."

"Not only is she mysterious, she is also very good at talking, pink-haired lady."

aboard the Merry.

"Ship to the ship! Let's get away quickly!"

"Eh? Why?"

"Of course it's because it's not a good place to stay for a long time! Hey, Luffy, don't look so unwilling. I brought you candies and snacks."

"Fortunately, it doesn't take long to store magnetism on this island." Nami.

"Find a ship repairman as a partner as soon as possible." Usopp.

Off the Merry, the children looked at the ship with its sails raised angrily, shouting that "Lily" was a liar.

"Sorry, I am a pirate after all~" Alicia climbed onto the edge of the boat and waved vigorously to the little carrots below, "Just wait a little longer, maybe you can go to the real Happy Town soon!"

"Yoshi! Brothers! Let's go find the boat repairman!"

"Oh!"
