One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

After checking the scene, Zig ordered all the naval soldiers except Lucia to return to the warship on the shore, and he and Lucia entered the village followed by a group of Windmill Village villagers.

After entering the village, Jiger said to the village chief, Sebra:

"It's all right now. Let the villagers go. Lucia and I want to take a walk around the village."

Upon hearing this, Sbula immediately organized people to evacuate the villagers. Although he was not young anymore, he was still very efficient.

After a while, the villagers gathered here left in twos and threes. During this process, Jiger's eyes were always on Makino in the crowd.

Lucia also noticed Jiger's concern for Makino, and she asked in a low voice,

"Master, is there anything special about that green-haired woman? You seem to be looking at her all the time."

Jiger said,

"You'll know later. Now follow her. Really, she's pregnant, why is she walking so fast? You have to keep a close eye on her!"

Lucia blinked when she heard that. Jiger's performance made her think of the relationship between Jiger and Machino on another level.

But even if it was that kind of relationship, she wouldn't be jealous. You know, Monet and other girls were all carefully trained by her. She was just curious.

Machino returned to her bar alone. She closed the door and walked behind the bar. She pulled up a chair and sat down, breathing slowly.

At this moment, the door of the bar creaked open. Makino heard the sound and looked up and said,

"Sorry, not today...eh?! Marshal Tianlong?!"

Seeing Jiger and Lucia coming in, Machino was so startled that he staggered backwards.

Swish!

Jiger instantly appeared behind Makino and held him steadily.

Makino had a frightened look on her face. After she came to her senses, she turned around and thanked Jiger repeatedly.

Jiger's face was dark; he was also frightened just now.

After slowly helping Makino sit back on his chair, Jiger breathed a sigh of relief and said with a frown,

"You're about to give birth, why are you still so startled? Also, why did you walk so fast just now? What if you have a miscarriage? You're very fragile right now, don't you know that!?"

Jiger said a lot in one breath, his voice getting louder and louder. After he finished speaking, he realized that Lucia at the door and Machino beside him were looking at him in surprise.

Makino nodded blankly and said,

"I understand, Marshal Tianlong, thank you for your concern..."

Jiger also realized that he was a little excited just now. He coughed twice, closed his eyes and said,

"That's good to know. You should be more careful next time, ok!"

After all, the girl in Machino's belly is his niece, and the Figalando family is not very prosperous, so he has to take good care of her.

It was just that the atmosphere in the bar was a little awkward for a moment, and Makino said tentatively,

"Um... let me mix two drinks..."

Jiger immediately raised his hand to interrupt,

"No need, I'll do it."

Lucia came over and said,

"Master, let me do it."

Jiger had already taken action. He quickly poured a glass of juice for Lucia and a glass of red wine for himself. Then he went to get a glass of warm water and placed it in front of Machino. He said,

"For pregnant women, boiled water is the best drink. You should drink more."

Makino was flattered, but at the same time, she also sensed something was wrong. Why would a naval marshal be so nice to a village girl like her who she had never met before? Was it because she was pregnant?

But when she thought of the father of the child in her belly, Machino felt guilty in front of Jiger. She quickly lowered her head, holding the cup with both hands and sipping it in small sips.

Seeing this, Jiger smiled with satisfaction. He walked to the counter and sat next to Lucia. Lucia whispered,

"Thank you for your hard work, young master."

Jiger naturally put his arm around Lucia's waist and said with a smile,

"It's just pouring some drinks, it's not that hard."

After saying that, Jiger took a sip of red wine, then looked at Machino and said,

"What are you thinking about? Thinking about that guy Shanks?"

Makino didn't react for a moment, she nodded slightly and said,

"Yes, I am worried..."

Makino's voice suddenly stopped. She raised her head abruptly, looked at Jiger with horror, and said in a panic,

"No, no, no! I don't know any Shanks. I was just distracted!"

Her behavior clearly revealed that she was trying to hide something.

Lucia on the side tilted her head and said,

"Shanks... I see, I think I understand..."

Jiger raised his hand and pressed it, saying,

"I've already told you not to be so surprised. Shanks has already admitted his relationship with you. You don't have to hide it anymore."

However, these words sounded like thunder to Makino's ears. She murmured,

"How could this be, has Shanks been caught..."

Jiger glanced at her and said,

"What are you thinking? That guy is my brother. Why would I arrest him?"

Another bombshell was dropped, and Makino was stunned. He said in a trembling voice,

"Nan... Nani?"

Seeing that Makino's reaction didn't seem fake, Jiger frowned and asked,

"Why, you don't know anything about me and him?"

Makino shook his head stiffly and said,

"Shanks, he never told me anything about you..."

Jiger raised his eyebrows and said,

"This kid, it was fine before, but he hasn't mentioned it in the past six months?"

"Um, Marshal Tianlong, actually Shanks and I haven't seen each other for nearly half a year..."

"So you guys don't communicate normally? No Den Den Mushi?"

"Shanks said before that if I use Den Den Mushi too often, I will be noticed by the World Government's intelligence department, which will be very dangerous..."

After hearing this, Jiger's expression relaxed. Shanks's previous considerations were indeed correct.

Thinking of this, Jiger took out a Den Den Mushi with a tuft of red hair from his arms, placed it on the table, and then dialed the Den Den Mushi in front of Makino.

After a burst of blu blu sounds, Shanks' voice rang out from the Den Den Mushi's mouth.

"Brother, why are you free to look for me today?"

Hearing Shanks' voice, Makino's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he shouted excitedly,

"Shanks!!"

Den Den Mushi was stunned for a moment, then a look of shock appeared on his face, and he shouted,

"Makino!? Is it Makino!?"
