Traveling Merchant On The Grand Line

Let Hihe and Toko live here for one night.

the next day.

Xiaozi didn't want to implicate Kahn because of herself, and after thanking him and saying goodbye, she planned to leave.

But was stopped by Kahn.

"Miss Zi, there are warriors searching for you everywhere now, it is too dangerous for you to escape from the capital of flowers."

"But... we... can't stay here forever, they will find here one day, I can't drag you..."

"Then let me help you. Although I can't take you out of the Capital of Flowers, I can still prevent you from being discovered by the warriors."

"Really, really?"

Kahn nodded with a smile, and took out two magic earrings.

Xiao Zi asked curiously, "This is?"

"This is an earring with a magical effect. As long as you wear this earring, you can change your appearance and shape.

Kahn introduced under Xiao Zi's curious and puzzled eyes, "Try it.

He picked up an earring and put it on Xiao Zi.

The earlobe was touched by his hand.

Xiao Zi's cheeks were slightly red, and she couldn't help lowering her head.

"try it yourself."

"How to do?"

"Picture yourself in the image of someone else."

Xiao Zi did so, and then something miraculous happened.

Her emerald hair turned into ordinary black, her outstanding figure became ordinary, and even her beautiful little face turned into a completely strange ordinary girl.

Huzi: "Okay, that's amazing! Sister Xiao Zi has completely become someone else!"

"this is me?"

Xiao Zi stared blankly at herself in the mirror, unable to believe it.

Really become someone else!

"Great! You'll never be found out now!"

Xiao Zi touched her face with joy.

But she was still a little worried, looked at Kahn timidly and said: "Well... can I change back to my original form?"

Kahn laughed:

"Just take the earring off and it'll be back."

Hearing this, Hiyori was completely relieved.

Put earrings on Huzi.

Although she could only show a smile after eating the smile fruit, her appearance was completely different from before.

Looking at Hihe and Toko today, even Kuangshiro might not recognize him, let alone someone else.

looking at them.

Kahn nodded, "It doesn't matter now."

"Master Warrior, your kindness, Xiao Zi, will never be forgotten in my life."

Hiyori looked at Kahn, grateful.

Huzi raised his head and said to Kahn: "Big brother, thank you Ni".

Kahn put his hands on his sleeves, leaned against the door, looked at the two and said with a smile:

"Not so polite."

"By the way, if you have no place to go now, you might as well stay here with me. I plan to open a grocery store, but I happen to be short of manpower."

"Looking at the store? Us?"

Hiyori was taken aback, "Can I?"

"Of course I can. I just have to go out in a few days, and I just need someone to help me watch the store."

Kahn said seriously:

"Of course, food and lodging are included, and the salary is everything, although it's not much.

"No, Mr. Samurai, you have already helped us so much, just looking at the store, how can we ask for your money again."

"Don't talk stupidly, Miss Zi, my place is not a black shop, and I must pay my salary."

See his serious look.

Hiyori couldn't say anything more.

She glanced at Huzi.

Now that you don't have to worry about being caught, it doesn't matter whether you leave the capital of flowers or not.

It's impossible to go back to the store.

Think here.

Hiyori looked up at Kahn and said:

"If we can... then please take care of me."

Hearing Hiyori's words.

A smile spread across Kahn's face.

"Then it's settled."

"Don't call me Samurai-sama, I'm Kahn, you can call me by my name, or you can call me the store manager."

Looking at his smile, Hiyori felt a little warm in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, Mr. Store Manager."

From this day on.

Hiyori and Toko lived in the other courtyard that Kahn bought.

The back of the hut is connected to another courtyard, and the front is a shop near the street.

A grocery store opens.

The owner of the store is a young silver-haired boy, while the clerks are an ordinary-looking black-haired woman and a smiling little girl with a ball head.

This shop is very common in the entire flower capital, and the place it opened is relatively remote, so it naturally didn't attract much attention.

two days later.

Kahn with his luggage on his back stood at the door, and said to the two of Men Yin:

"Then the store will be handed over to you."

Hiyori and Watoko stood together in kimonos.

Rihe said with a smile: "Mr. Store Manager, go all the way, we will take care of the store."

The smiling Huzi waved vigorously: "Go all the way~"

This scene is really very similar to the mother and daughter sending their father out.

"I am leaving."

Looking at the tall and straight figure who left in a white kimono.

Hiyori's eyes were slightly dazed.

This kind of warm and peaceful feeling... How long has it been since I felt it?

I used to feel this way when my father [mother and elder brother were all around?

It's almost like going back to that time...

"Day and sister, day and sister..."

Huzi pulled her sleeve to bring her back to her senses.

"What's wrong? Huko."

"time."

"Ah, it's time to open the store, thank you for reminding me, Huzi, let's open the door together.

"Um!"

the other side.

After leaving the Flower City, Kahn spent a few more days traveling around Wanokuni.

When he left Jianlou Village, he also accidentally found the second Devil Fruit that he wanted to get this trip.

Duanzi fruit.

this day.

nine miles.

Weaving Kasa Village.

In front of a house on the edge of the forest.

A small figure was lying on top of a huge cypress dog with its head up.

It was a cute little girl in a light green short skirt and kimono, with a short stature and big round purple eyes.

She looked up at the sky.

""That cloud... looks soft and delicious..."

"Cuckoo."

Stomach growling.

The little girl touched her stomach,

"Stop shouting, Master has gone out to help us find food, and will be back soon, don't be so dishonest.

"Cuckoo."

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, stop barking!"

The little girl thumped her spineless and screaming stomach.

Soon she ran out of strength.

Limp down on Koma Inu's back.

"When will Master come back?"

Slap.

Suddenly something fell on the back of the cypress dog.

The little girl looked.

A big red apple came into view, right next to her.

She opened her eyes wide, thinking she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes, and found that it was still there.

She looked around, no one was there.

Reach out and pick up the big red apple.

Ayu stared blankly at the apple in his hand and said:

"Am I... dreaming?"

She pinched (Zhao De's) her face.

"it hurts."

"It's not a dream."

"it is true?"

"Is it the same as what Master said, the story that the God of Food gave to children is true?"

Think here.

Ayu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Smell the aroma of apples.

Hungry, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Gulu."

Looked again four weeks later.

She no longer hesitated, opened her mouth and bit down on the fruit in her hand.

Rich juice and pulp bloom in the mouth.

Ayu opened his eyes wide, full of emotion and satisfaction.

"Delicious!!"

"What a delicious treat!!"

She ate it in big gulps, and after eating half of it, she suddenly realized.

"I can't finish it, I have to let Master eat some of such delicious food."

Just the second after she finished saying this sentence.

Another big red apple fell from the sky.

Ayu looked up.

A person was sitting on a high branch, still throwing an apple in his hand, looking at her with smiling eyes,

"Is it delicious?".
