The next morning, Kurumi appeared in the restaurant with a victorious smile on his face. When he passed by Esdeath, he snorted loudly and walked past with his head held high like a proud hen.
Esdeath, who was having breakfast at the dining table, asked with confusion: "What is so happy about?"
Of course Kurumi won't answer, so let her spend today with questions on her face. I am the winner!
Esdeath, who was sitting across from him, seemed to see Kurumi's tiny nostrils that didn't exist.
Esdeath sat silently on her seat, resting her chin on her hand, thinking quietly.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he punched his palm lightly with his right fist, "It must have something to do with Eric."
Eric, who was rubbing the eggs, trembled all over and crushed the eggshell in his hand together with the egg white and yolk inside.
The sound of clinking dishes suddenly decreased, and other people around secretly pricked up their ears, the fire of gossip burning in everyone's hearts.
Chitong carefully observed the subtle expressions on the faces of several people, and nodded in approval, "Krang San looks very good today."
Everyone complained in their hearts: 'Nonsense, everyone can see the smile on Kuang San's face. '
"Eric looks good today too."
Everyone: "?"
"Esdeath looks good today too."
Everyone: "??"
There was silence in the restaurant.
Suddenly someone broke the silence.
Perona looked shocked and stammered: "Three, three, three people together?!"
Bolqi covered her face with a blushing face and said, "I hate it~ Have you already climbed the ladder of adulthood?"
Eric, Kurumi, and Esdeath said in unison: "Huh? Why didn't I know."
After saying that, Esdeath and Kurumi glared at each other fiercely.
"Huh." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, adding a breath of carbon dioxide to the global greenhouse effect.
Only Kulikai Buddha was puffing out smoke rings and remained unmoved.
A red light appeared in Scathach's eyes, "It turns out it was last night..."
'Can you not only see the future, but also the past? ! Eric was shocked, shouted "Master", hugged Scathach's thigh tightly, begging to be let go.
"Haha." Scathach chuckled, gently caressed Eric's head, and said with a slight smile on his usually cold face: "You must have been fooled..."
So, women outside the pirate world are so smart!
In front of Scathach and Esdeath, Eric threatened to enter Esdeath's torture chamber. He hesitated and told about his kiss with Kurumi last night, and was eventually "gnawed" by Esdeath. "I had to have saliva all over my face before I was let go.
Seeing Eric's face covered in Esdeath's saliva, Kurumi was so angry that her cheeks puffed up again.
…
A bar on an island along the Grand Line was filled with the noise of pirates, with glasses clinking, shouting, and talking and laughing loudly.
The two pirates supported each other and walked towards the door. As they shook, a little bit of low-quality beer splashed out of the beer glasses in their hands.
At this time, the two small doors of the bar were pushed open from the outside.
The beer glass, which was already unstable to hold, fell from the hand that was shaking due to drunkenness, and the low-quality beer spilled all over the floor.
The turbid air is filled with the spicy smell of inferior beer, the sour smell of vomiting caused by drinking, and the rancid smell caused by men not taking a shower for a long time.
The new group of people who came in immediately frowned and were quite dissatisfied with the environment here.
In the crowd, a woman covered her nose with her white palms.
"Ah?" The pirate who had spilled his beer came up to him with a look of needing a beating, "You spilled my wine, how should you compensate me?!"
Another person helped: "That's right! Open the door and knock over my companion's wine glass... burp~"
"What a beautiful woman..." The drunken pirate noticed the petite woman next to the captain opposite and said with a big tongue, "You have to compensate me for this woman!"
The originally noisy bar suddenly became as quiet as an ice cellar.
"Huh?" The two troublemaking pirates looked back in confusion, and what they saw were expressions of fear on their faces with cold sweat breaking out on their faces.
"Hahaha!" Thinking that he was intimidated by the name of his pirate group, the pirate said proudly: "Yes, I am..."
"Dead men need no introduction."
"Bili"
Blue light engulfed him from behind.
"Yes, it's the Yonko Darren Eric!" Someone shouted, and all the pirates were scurrying around like headless flies.
The exit was blocked, and no one dared to run there. Some people escaped through the back door, and some broke the wooden wall and ran away.
In an instant, the huge bar was completely gone.
No, there is another pirate stuck in the window because his belly is too big. His short legs cannot reach the ground and he is flapping around in the air.
"Be quiet."
The fluttering toothpick legs became stiff and motionless on the spot as if being controlled by a voice.
"Boss, come out." Eric poked his head from the bar and called out to the bar owner who was lying on the ground hiding.
The boss rubbed his hands and said with a silly smile: "E-Sir Eric, I wonder what this little man can do for you?"
"Go and find all the newspapers from September last year to now. I want to take them away."
"Yes, I will do it right away!" The bar owner hesitated, "Do you need to serve food to the adults?"
"No, if the food is not delicious, it will kill you." Eric rolled his eyes at the drooling Chi Tong, wondering what the environment here is, and why he still has to eat here.
After getting all the newspapers published during the practice, Eric led everyone to the best restaurant on the island for a meal.
…
Eric opened the newspapers from the past year and saw the heavyweight news:
Esdeath beside him frowned and said: "Pirates are pirates, how can they protect the people in the image of a hero?"
Kurumi then said: "King Riku was quite famous before, but when Doflamingo arrived, his temper suddenly changed and he killed citizens in order to plunder property? It doesn't make sense."
Fortunately, our companions on the ship have online IQs and will not be forcibly reduced by this world.
"King Riku and his soldiers are all controlled by Doflamingo." Eric explained, "Doflamingo is a user with the Thread Fruit ability. He can use parasitic threads to control people's actions. Like a doll.”
"People who lack strength will be like puppets in front of him, toyed with and applauded by him."
Eric felt sad from the bottom of his heart: 'Knowing that Devil Fruits have strange abilities, but not having any questions, they are really a bunch of pitiful and hateful people...'
"King Riku in the newspaper was crying while killing people, which shows how painful it was at that time." Chitong clenched his fists, "The country is controlled by such a cruel person, and the people must be living in dire straits."
"That's right." Eric turned out the newspaper at the back, "Dressrosa is now called the 'Land of Love, Passion and Toys'. This has one more toy than when we went there, and the toy is Transformed by humans.”
Kuang San asked curiously: "Wouldn't the family members who turned into toys notice?"
"This fruit is very powerful. Anyone it touches will turn into a toy, and those who have a relationship with it will lose all the memories of their relationship. Be careful with this little girl named Sugar."
Eric drew another ugly monster...
"You should learn how to draw from Leonardo da Vinci."
