One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit
Chapter 344: Old Friends in the Library
Xia Lulia finally came to her senses and swallowed her saliva in fear, but choked again.
She stammered in response.
"No, sorry Master Jiger, I just feel very comfortable in Monet..."
As the user of the Snow-Snow Fruit, Monet can be described as a human air conditioner. He always feels cool, which is extremely attractive to Xia Lulia who is suffering from heatstroke.
Monet condensed a layer of frost on his hands, then walked forward and wiped it on Xia Lulia's head. The latter immediately felt so comfortable that her soul seemed to ascend to heaven, and her pale face turned rosy.
Jig ignored her and walked to the sofa and sat down. Hancock stood behind Jig and gently pinched Jig's shoulders with both hands. Robin and Sugar each brought tea and fruit and placed them in front of Jig. These were all taught by Lucia. Brin watched from the side and was secretly amazed.
Robin wanted to pour a cup of tea for Xia Lulia, but Jiger suddenly stopped him.
"Robin, how is your mother doing?"
Robin was stunned for a moment, then responded softly,
"Thank you for your concern, Master Jiger. Mom is still the same as always, staying in the library all day."
Jiger pondered for a moment and said,
"If you count the time, she has been in the library for nearly 23 years... I wonder if she has finished the book I asked her to edit."
As he spoke, Jiger raised his hand to hold down Hancock's hand on his shoulder, then slowly stood up from the sofa and said to Brin,
"Breen, come with me."
Brynn nodded obediently and followed Jig out the door.
Xia Lulia blinked her eyes and said,
"Master Jiger, what about me?"
Jiger didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand and said,
"Just rest here. I'll take you back when I come back. If you want to leave now, that's fine too."
Xia Lulia would not leave. Why did she run to the Figalando family from time to time? Wasn't it just for Jiger?
Now that she has finally encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she must seize it.
Thinking of this, Xia Lulia's face showed a determined look, and she suddenly raised her head and shouted,
"Ji...eh?"
Jiger's figure had already disappeared at the door. Monet smiled slightly when he saw this, and walked forward and whispered,
"Xaluliya Palace, some things can't be rushed."
Xia Lulia smiled awkwardly, then grabbed Monet's hand and said,
"Monet, use that trick you just used on me again. It feels really good!"
......
Jiger brought Brin to the library where Olbia was "imprisoned".
To be honest, Jiger has never been here since the library was built.
With the financial resources of the Figalando family, even if it was just a library, it would be built tall and magnificent, looking like an exquisite castle.
Standing guard at the door were two female golden-armored guards. Female golden-armored guards were rare, and all of them were in Lucia's third squad.
Seeing Jiger, the two men immediately knelt on one knee, and their armor made a clanging sound.
"Little Lord!"
Jiger nodded and said,
"Open the door."
After receiving the order, two guards in golden armor stood up, one pushed the door open, then lowered their heads and closed the door again after Jiger and Brin went in.
Passing through a spacious corridor, Jiger arrived at the hall of the library.
Brin looked at the dazzling array of books around her and couldn't help but sigh,
“How spectacular!”
Brin's voice echoed in the empty hall. In the corner, Olbia, who was leaning on the ladder to get a book, was startled, her hand trembled, and the book in her hand fell downwards.
She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but not only did she grab nothing, she also lost her balance and fell down with the book.
Swish!
A black light flashed, and instead of falling on the cold ground, Olbia fell into a warm embrace.
Olbia stared, looked up at Jiger, and said,
"Gig Saint?"
Jiger smiled at Olbia, put his arm around her waist, and landed steadily on the ground.
This was not the first time that Olbia was held like this by Jiger. Even after landing, she had no intention of getting away from Jiger immediately.
Jiger looked at Olbia. After twenty-two years, a few faint crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Olbia's face doesn't seem to have changed much, except that compared to before, she has less melancholy temperament and appears more intellectual and generous.
Those crow's feet at the corners of her eyes not only did not detract from her beauty, but instead added a bit of charm to her.
Jiger was amazed. As everyone knows, the beauties in the world of One Piece often become strange in appearance when they get older, which can be called a transformation, such as Flame Flower and Kokoro. Well, Big Mom can also be included.
Olbia is at least in his early fifties this year, and it is absolutely rare for him to be able to maintain this condition.
But when he thought of Rayleigh's old lover Xia Qi, who was already 64 years old, Jiger felt relieved. There are always exceptions to everything.
Olbia saw that Jiger was staring at her face without saying anything, so she couldn't help but ask,
"Gig Saint, is there something on my face?"
Jiger finally came back to his senses from his wild thoughts. His expression remained unchanged as he spoke:
"Well, I see you're wearing glasses. Are you dazzled?"
"..."
Olbia was speechless for a moment, thinking that Jiger was going to say something. At the same time, she felt a little angry for some reason. She suddenly broke away from Jiger's arms, straightened her slightly messy white shirt, and corrected him.
"It's not blurry eyes, it's myopia."
As he spoke, Olbia raised his hand and took off his black-framed glasses, and added,
"It's just that I read for too long, and myopia is not serious."
Jiger shrugged, glanced at the ladder leaning beside him, and said,
"I'll arrange a few assistants for you. From now on, they will be responsible for taking and putting away the books."
Just now he was really afraid that Olbia would fall to her death, after all, there was Kuina, a victim of the "Supreme Express".
Olbia shook his head, laughed at himself, and said,
"I am a criminal, so how can I be qualified to have an assistant? For me, just being able to see Robin every day is enough."
She picked up the book from the ground, dusted it off, and said casually,
"Speaking of which, Robin's devil fruit ability is really convenient. She doesn't have to climb a ladder to get books or something."
Jiger seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. He flipped his wrist and a purple devil fruit shaped like an open book appeared in his hand.
He handed the devil fruit to Olbia and said,
"If you eat it, you don't have to climb the ladder anymore, try it?"
