[One Piece] Sabo and I fight for the character

Windmill Village is not big, and few people from outside the village come in. If there is any disturbance here, the whole village will know about it.

People in the village were also very curious about a strange face like Violet. After all, it was rare for a child to stay in a hotel by himself without an adult accompanying him. The hotel staff were also very impressed with Violet, so when she paid for lunch and dinner but missed the meal and still didn't come back, the staff was a little worried. At night, when everyone was about to go to bed, she still didn't come back. When he didn't come back, he hurried to the village chief's house to report.

Since most people in the village have closed their doors and gone to sleep, the village chief Slap decided to organize people to search early tomorrow morning. By the way, he asked the navy to search together. Karp, who was still staying in Windmill Village, was naturally happy. He learned from the village chief When I learned that a child from outside was missing, I almost figured out who it was. With a wave of my hand, all the other navy soldiers on guard went out to look for him.

"With your help, I think the child can be found soon." Slap said.

So at dawn, the adults in the village and the soldiers divided into two groups and went to various remote roads and the seaside to search.

When he couldn't find her in the village and decided to look outside the village, Violet appeared at the right time, and the large group of people met the three of them on a narrow road.

"Found it, village chief!" A man shouted excitedly, and everyone rushed forward. Some were wary of Magura and Dogula beside Violet, while Violet looked confused. Looking at the old man coming out of the crowd.

"Is this the child, Lex?" Village leader Lap Slap, who was leaning on a wooden crutch and wearing a fisherman's hat, asked the man in a traditional uniform beside him.

"Yes, it's this child. Where have you been? I waited all night last night and didn't see you. I was so scared that I ran to ask the village chief to call someone."

It's a hotel waiter.

Violet then remembered that the money she had originally given to the hotel for accommodation was for a week.

I didn't expect that the waiter was so dedicated that he would send the entire village to give up their jobs to look for her. I felt a little guilty and touched for no reason.

With an arm hanging around her neck, Violet bowed solemnly to the villagers, "Thank you all very much. I'm fine. I fell asleep elsewhere last night."

"What happened to your arm and your head? I haven't seen it all night. Why are you so injured?" The sharp-eyed villagers noticed Violet's appearance at this moment and said, "Is it them? Speaking of which These two are a bit familiar, do you live in the house on the mountain?"

Magula and Dogula were surrounded and shivering.

"Calm down, everyone, listen to me, we are not bad people."

"Iska's injury was not caused by us. We even hired a doctor to bandage her."

"Everyone, calm down and tell Mr. Karp that the man has been found and ask him to call all the soldiers back." Slapp calmly let the crowd disperse, and then stared at them with a pair of mean eyes through the reflection of the lenses. On the person, "Are you Magula and Dogula? I know that although you are bandits, you have never harmed or robbed any villagers here. How do you know this child?"

Seeing the crowd disperse, Dogula touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Village Chief, I accidentally fell into the pit. They not only arranged a place for me to live, but also hired a doctor. They are not bad people." Violet explained quickly.

"Where are you from?" A strange child I have never seen before.

"I, I'm not from this village." She didn't answer the question directly, and Slapp didn't press the question. At first, she was just worried about whether she was threatened. But now it's fine. She didn't plan to say it and wouldn't force her to answer. .

"In that case, be careful next time. You are so seriously injured at such a young age." There was no smile on Slap's face, he was very serious, and Violet didn't dare to slap him.

"I understand, thank you village chief."

Slap nodded, "What's your name? How old are you?"

"...I am Iska, I am 8 years old."

"Dogula, Magula, since this child said what he said, I believe you for the time being. Don't let me see you doing bad things to this child." Slap warned and tapped the ground with his wooden cane. .

"Don't worry, village chief."

-

"The villagers of Windmill Village are so enthusiastic, even though they only glanced at me." Violet sighed, her affection for Windmill Village, which has simple folk customs, doubled.

"It's so hard for us, we almost thought we were going to be tied up." Dogula said bitterly, his ears drooping.

"The result is good. Let's buy something for Iska first, and then buy other things later." Magura comforted him.

I bought a few sets of daily clothes in a clothing store and went to a daily necessities store to buy toiletries. Not only are the people in Windmill Village simple and honest, but the prices are also very cheap.

After buying the things she needed, Violet accompanied Magura and the others to the market to buy other supplies, such as candles, kitchen spice packs, and sewing kits...

"Magula, can you still do needlework?"

"It's not me, it's the boss. Even though the boss looks like that, he is actually very good at needlework. The boss mended Ace's clothes."

"Hey, I can't tell."

"Although the boss looks tall and has a fierce look, she is actually a very nice person and treats her subordinates well, otherwise we wouldn't follow her."

"Well, I saw it. He was obviously the bandit leader, but he didn't steal my wallet and still took such good care of me."

"Yes, yes, that means Ace doesn't appreciate it anymore. He was so cute when he was a child, but he has no expression at all when he grows up."

"That nasty guy...did Ace grow up there?" Violet, who was holding a shopping bag, found it incredible that Dadan looked nothing like Ace. "Is he Dadan's child?"

"No, when Ace was a baby, he was picked up by Lieutenant General Garp and given to the boss to raise." Magura explained, paying Bailey to the boss and taking the things.

"Ace was so cute when he was a child. If you give him a stick, he will crawl to pick it up." Dogula interjected, recalling that when he was a child, he encouraged little Ace to lie on the ground and crawl on all fours to pick up things.

"That's why Ace doesn't want to talk to you now, you cheated him like this." Magula also thought about it, "Children are very vindictive, especially when they are sensible and remember things."

Thinking of the miserable days when he was teased by Ace because of this incident, Dogula covered his face with regret, "How did I know that just a small thing could make him hold a grudge for so long? I also apologized to him later."

"Who asked you to provoke Ace, Dogula?"

Was Ace so obedient when he was a child? Listening to the conversation between Magura and Magura, Violet thought to herself that he would be disobedient when he grew up.

The image of Ace who was still a tender baby when he was a baby came to mind, his watery eyes curled up, and he smiled so milkily that he suddenly turned around and saw Ace who was now almost a teenager, with a world-weary look on his face, even the coach's The freckles all reveal indifference.

"How old are you, Esta?"

"Ais is already 10 years old. Time flies so fast. Speaking of Iska, you look like you are 8 when you are 10 years old."

"Well, it's because I'm taller than them, maybe because I drank too much milk." Violet was very proud of her height. She thought that when she grew older, she would be able to catch up with Ace, but she never thought about it. Esta will also grow taller.

"Hahaha, everything has been bought. Let's go to the banquet bar to find Miss Maginot and bring a bottle of wine to the boss and then go back."

"Makino?"

"She is the owner of the bar. The girl is very nice. She treats ordinary people, bandits and pirates equally. She is a very charming boss." Magura introduced to Violet, "Magino The Miss Bar also fosters a child. If you are not injured, you can often run there to play with him."

"Really?" Violet listened and became a little interested in the owner of the banquet bar. "I am looking forward."

Magura thought she was looking forward to making new friends, but only Violet knew that she just wanted to see the differences between bars in different places.

The banquet bar is right in front of the store where Violet just bought clothes. A very simple signboard with the word "banquetbar" in English is hung above the door. Two fan-shaped hanging doors are opened. Facing the door is the bar counter, on the left and right sides. There were tables and chairs, but it was still early in the morning and the bar was not open yet.

"Miss Maginot."

"Hi, here, long time no see, Dogula, Magula, are you here to buy wine for Dadansang again?" The head of the long green hair was wrapped with a triangular scarf, revealing a smooth and white forehead, with the same hair color. A girl with green eyes appeared in front of them holding a huge wine barrel. "Sorry, I'm a little busy. Mr. Garp will leave in the afternoon, so the village chief plans to practice it for the soldiers of the navy."

"Still the same, right?"

"Excuse me, it's still that kind of wine. The boss likes to drink the wine made by Miss Maginot."

"Haha, it's my honor to be able to satisfy our guests. Where is this kid from?" Maginot asked curiously, noticing Violet standing next to Dogula.

This sound was exactly the same as the one I heard in the wooden box before.

Violet raised her head slightly, and Maginot's big, gentle and curious eyes were staring at her motionless.

It was confirmed, this was where she had been before, but fortunately no one had discovered it.

"Hello, sister, I'm Iska. I'm temporarily staying at Magura's place."

"Hello Iska," Maginot put the wine barrel on the ground and knelt down to look at her, "Why are you injured and bandaged like this?"

"Ah, are you the child that the villagers are looking for today? It seems that they have been found. It's great that you are okay." Maginot took out a candy wrapped in a shiny piece of paper from her apron and handed it to her. Give it to her, "This is a meeting gift for little Iska."

Violet did not shirk. She could not refuse the candy given by her beautiful sister.

"Thank you, Sister Maginot."

"You're welcome," Maginot gently rubbed her head, stood up, and said to Magula, "I'll get you the wine now, please take a moment."

After successfully getting the wine, the three of them went back along the original road.

Violet held the candy and said nothing along the way.

"Iska, don't be unhappy. The child is probably not awake yet. We will definitely see him when we go later next time."

Knowing that Magula had misunderstood, Violet explained, "Magula, don't think too much, I'm not unhappy, let's go back quickly."

Violet, who returned to Dadan House, was ordered not to go out during this period. The reason was that the old village doctor who had treated her was so angry when he saw her running down the mountain with her injured arm wrapped up that she even threw away her crutches. , rushed to Dadan's house as fast as he could. Everyone from Dadan to his subordinates was suffocated by the village doctor's aura, so they agreed to wait until the bandage on Violet's arm was removed before they could go out.

Therefore, Violet was required to stay in the house this month, and the most she could do was sit on the big rock outside the door and enjoy the breeze.

The matter that I originally planned to settle with Ace was postponed until one month later.
