Traveling Merchant On The Grand Line

"Is this the Cocosia Village?"

Wearing a black windbreaker and carrying a bag, the silver-haired boy was walking in the town of Cocosia Village.

His handsome appearance and slender and well-proportioned figure caused a lot of turning heads.

It was Kahn who came.

Kahn looked at the shops on both sides and the pedestrians on the road. They had smiles on their faces, and the streets of the town were also peaceful and peaceful.

It looks like.

It seems that the event that the Dragon Pirates occupied here has not happened yet...

call!

A gust of wind blows.

Kahn moved his nose slightly, and immediately smelled a scent of oranges.

Now is the autumn when the fruits are ripe, and here is a place rich in oranges, so the sweet fragrance of oranges is wafting in the air-chang.

Smelling this scent, Kahn couldn't help but want to eat oranges.

I happened to see a store selling vegetables and fruits in front of me, which seemed to sell oranges.

Kahn walked over there.

"Welcome, what would you like to order?"

"Give me ten oranges, please."

"Where are the ten oranges? That's a thousand Baileys."

Kahn handed him a Ten Thousand Bailey.

While carrying a bag of oranges and waiting for the store manager to change the money.

Da da da

A rush of footsteps sounded from behind him.

then.

A little girl with short orange hair ran quickly behind Kahn.

The moment the two figures overlap.

Like feeling something.

Kahn looked over his shoulder.

"Guest, looking for your money."

"guest?"

Kahn came back to his senses and smiled at the store manager, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."

He reached out and took the nine thousand-berry notes he was looking for.

Turn around and leave.

The store manager looked at his back and scratched his head, "He's a stranger, did he come from outside?"

Inside a bookstore in a town.

jingle!

The door opens.

The old woman who runs the bookstore sees a small figure appearing at the door of the store, with a smile on her face:

"Ah, are you here again? Xiaona."

"Mother-in-law, I'm here to disturb you again."

The little girl with orange hair greeted her, and then rushed into the bookstore quickly.

Not a while after she entered the bookstore.

The door of the bookstore opened again.

"welcome."

The old woman looked up.

A slender figure almost as tall as the door appeared at the door, and the light fell on him from outside the door, casting a long shadow on the floor of the room.

"excuse me."

The man walked into the house.

The old woman was sure that this was the first time she saw this good-looking strange boy in front of her.

He has silver-white hair and is very eye-catching.

He was carrying a bag of oranges in his hand.

when passing the counter.

The strange silver-haired boy put an orange on the table.

"If you don't mind, please use it."

The old lady didn't respond yet.

That person has already walked into the bookstore.

the other side.

The little girl with short orange hair deftly climbed the stairs to the bookshelf and found a thick book on navigation.

"If you want to complete that nautical chart, you have to look up this book again..."

"How much does this book cost? Wow... so expensive!!"

"Bell Mel will definitely not buy it for me, but I still want it..."

After struggling for a while, she still made up her mind.

Turned his head and looked around.

After making sure no one is there.

She quickly stuffed the book into her arms.

Then carefully climb down the stairs.

And just as she was about to hit the ground,

But still accidentally bumped into the book on the side and knocked it down.

"Ah... not good!"

The book fell to the ground with a thud.

This sound was very clear in the silent bookstore.

The little girl with short orange hair felt her heart tighten.

The old woman's voice sounded out of nowhere:

"What's the sound? Xiaona, what's the matter?"

And just when she was about to lie to deceive the past.

A young man's voice suddenly sounded in the bookstore.

"I accidentally dropped the book on the floor, I'm sorry.

"Oh, so it's like this, it's okay, don't mind."

Listen to those two voices.

The little girl with short orange hair couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Great.

Although I don't know what's going on, but luckily it's been fooled.

With the book in her arms, she carefully moved towards the door of the store.

When passing a bookshelf.

She glanced casually and saw a silver-haired boy standing in front of the bookshelf flipping through a thick book.

Was that voice just now from him?

The little girl couldn't help thinking.

After all, there are only her and him in the entire bookstore now.

It seemed to feel her gaze.

The man turned his head slightly, his eyes moved from the book to her.

The two looked at each other.

Then she saw the other person's eyes move down.

looked down.

A corner of the book in his arms has been exposed!

She hastily moved the book behind her.

At this time, the old woman from the bookstore also came over.

"Ah, Xiaona, have you finished reading it? You read it very quickly today."

"Ahhhhhhh! I suddenly remembered that Bell Mel also asked me to drop by to buy something back home, I have to go quickly,

Little Nami smiled at the old woman, while slowly retreating towards the back door.

During this period, she also stared at the guy a few times, signaling him not to talk too much.

Fortunately, the guy doesn't seem interested in her.

He quickly looked away.

The little girl stuck her back to the door, and just when she was about to complete this 'stealing' successfully, she felt a little complacent.

The door was suddenly opened from the outside.

The little girl turned her head to look.

Ajian, the policeman in Cocococia Village, appeared in her eyes.

She was startled, and the hand protecting the book behind her trembled, and the book behind her slipped from her skirt.

"Not good, it's going to be exposed..."

She couldn't help closing her eyes.

But what she didn't expect was that.

The expected sound of books falling to the ground did not resound.

She half-opened her eyes and glanced down.

The ground is empty, not even a shadow of a book?

ah?

Where are the books?

Nami's head was full of question marks.

Jian bent down, stared at her and said, "Hey, Nami, why are you acting so strange?"

"You're not going to do that again, are you?"

Watching him staring at himself suspiciously.

Although I don't know how the books disappeared, but Nami who is sure that he does not have any books is very confident now!

With her hips on her hips, she raised her head and shouted at A Jian:

"What do you mean doing that kind of thing again? Do you suspect that I stole? I'm not that kind of woman."

"Is that so?"

There was still suspicion in his eyes.

Little Nami held out her hands:

"Then you can check it out! If you don't find the book from me, you can give me 10,000 Baileys as compensation! How about it?"

Seeing her so confident, Ah Jian was a little confused.

He looked at her carefully, and saw that she didn't seem to have a book on her body.

Ah Jian couldn't help thinking.

Am I really guessing wrong?

Has this bad kitten really learned to behave?

"No need to check, I will trust you this time."

Hear his words.

...asking for flowers...

Little Nami withdrew his hand and cut it.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to get some pocket money from Ah Jian.

"I still have to do some shopping for Bell Mel, so let's go first.

As she spoke, she ran out of the bookstore beside Ah Jian.

After running out, he turned around and made a face at Ajian.

"Kin is an idiot~"

"Hey!"

Ah Jian stomped his feet.

She quickly slipped away.

"This guy Nami is exactly the same as that guy Bell Mel when he was a kid, he's a guy who doesn't make you worry!"

While complaining, he said to the old woman: "Grandma, don't spoil this guy too much, you can't let her develop the habit of stealing since childhood."

The old woman smiled kindly, "I know, don't worry, Nami is a good boy."

Ah Jian sighed, it was because she was a good child that she couldn't be made to be bad. "

When the two were talking.

The strange boy who had been quietly reading in the bookstore came to the counter.

He put a book on the table.

"I want to buy this book, how much is it?"

After buying the book, he walked out of the bookstore.

Ah Jian looked at his back and said:

"It's the first time I've seen that person. Did he come from outside the village?"

"Who knows."

The old woman put away the money, "But he looks like a kind and gentle man, he also gave me oranges, didn't he?"

After leaving the bookstore.

Little Nami walked on the street with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself while kicking small stones on the ground.

"Why did that book suddenly disappear?"

"I really don't understand."

Just when she was puzzled.

Sudden.

A figure appeared in front of her.

Nami couldn't dodge in time and ran into it directly.

"it hurts."

She rubbed her nose, raised her head, and said angrily, "Why are you standing in front of me?"

When you see the appearance of that person clearly.

Nami was taken aback.

ah?

It was the man at the bookstore just now.

She would never be wrong with that silver hair.

The silver-haired boy who appeared in front of her looked down at her and said with a smile:

"Your name is Nami, right?"

"Yes, yes, what's the matter?"

He squatted down and was much taller than she was standing.

His light silver eyes stared at her and said:

"Why steal?"

Sure enough, he was discovered!

Nami simply broke the jar and smashed it.

"Can't you? I want that book very much, but I don't have the money to buy it. The only way is insurance?"

The silver-haired boy stared at her without speaking.

Watched by his light silver calm eyes, little Nami also stared back at him without showing any weakness.

After looking at each other for more than ten seconds.

The silver-haired boy in front of Nami suddenly smiled.

"That's really impossible."

he stood up,

"If you want something, you have to get it, no matter what means you use.

"Still stealing is a bit of a shame after all, especially if you get caught."

As he spoke, he took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Nami.

"Next time, practice stealing more."

It was the nautical book that Nami wanted most.

Nami took it, and said blankly:

"why?"

There are two meanings in this why.

Why did this suddenly disappearing book appear in his hand?

Why did he give this book to himself when he met him for the first time?

Facing her inquiry and puzzlement.

The silver-haired boy smiled and said something that Nami will remember forever.

"Because I'm rich, so whatever I want is my freedom, right?"

F....
