[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

"Hey."

She called him, and the guy next to him, who was eating a stick of candy happily, responded inarticulately, and turned his head to look at her with those bright black pupils.

Adelina raised her chin and looked at the golden candy on the wooden stick, "Did you pay?"

The corner of the man's mouth froze immediately, as if he had done something terrible.

Adelina shook her head helplessly, then muttered something in a low voice, then turned her head and rushed to the candy shop not far away.

Ace looked at her back, wondering how this guy ran so fast.He touched the purse on his waist with one hand - in the morning, Bedi, the cripple of the Second Division, grabbed him solemnly and said that it would be rude to go out with the girl's house without some money, so he just reminded him once.Just now Ace was still thinking about whether he should rectify his problem of eating overlord meals without being reminded - but his attention was quickly diverted by the smell of drawing candy.

On the way out to sea, he and Adelina were chased by the navy for a while, and those people were quickly dealt with by the two of them—although this was not the first time he had seen her skill, but it had to be said that as a Women's physical skills are indeed very good, and Ace really wants to know if the training she talks about really makes her a girl into a man.

So, although the guys in the Second Division actually regarded this frighteningly high bounty and fierce woman as a woman, it surprised him, but if I heard right just now——

——Why do you remember to bring money when you go to drink...

That's what she said, right?

Ace bit the candy, squinted his eyes under the glare of the sun, and whispered, "You obviously remember it?"

While muttering, someone suddenly patted his shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw the guy who was running wildly but not breathing.

"So, why on earth are we here?" Ace still didn't understand what they were doing in this candy-filled place since they landed.

"Saqi said that you haven't gone anywhere for a few months on the boat. I was afraid that you would be bored, so I specially left a message for me to take you out for a stroll when I have time. This is the place where Saqi buys dessert ingredients, usually I'll come with him."

That being said, this island known as the "Candy City" is actually not that close to the Moby Dick, but Adelina seems to come here often and is very familiar with it.Adelina parked their motorboat on the western beach, where the most impressive thing was a white-gold sandy beach shining in the sun, and the sweet smell floating in the air.Whether it's snails with blue threads or shells of different colors, they all exude a sweet smell.Adelina said that the sweet things on the beach cannot be eaten directly, but they can be used as raw materials or auxiliary materials for making delicious candies.

She added by the way, "In addition to purchasing ingredients, there is also Chichila snacks."

Ace thought of the kind of cotton candy that Kikira often ate on the Moby Dick, with different colors, soft to the touch and a certain chewy texture, although it looked the same as the cotton candy bought elsewhere. There is no difference, but the taste is definitely different.

"That guy's sense of taste is much more sensitive than ordinary people." Adelina took out an orange candy cane and put it in her mouth. "His childhood dream was to become a candy designer."

"and then?"

"... Then he became a pirate." Adelina said with a candy cane in her mouth, "He is a user with the ability of the air current fruit. The fruit ability is very strong, but at that time he was too young to control it well... Do you understand? ?”

Ace didn't understand what time she was talking about, "Then why doesn't Chikila ever come here?"

If I remember correctly, she was the one who helped Qiqila bring candy every time she went to sea.

"Do you know why I landed from the west coast?" Adeline changed the subject, Ace looked at her, and she continued, "The villages on the east coast have become ruins."

"The reputation of the Candy City used to be on par with the Fishman Island. Of course, because the Fishman Island is deep in the sea, and the geographical location of the Candy City can be said to be very convenient, it has become a treasured place for candy merchants to compete for. Who occupies it? Whoever gets here will have the largest raw material base.”

"Seven years ago, the east coast can be said to be the hottest area for candy manufacturing. Therefore, many guys are eyeing the candy raw materials on the east coast. The east coast is in the limelight, so some unscrupulous businessmen and pirates came here to rob a fan."

"but……"

"After the navy arrived, the entire east coast was in ruins. The navy also found the wreck of the pirate ship in the shallow sea."

"Fruit ability." Ace said.

Adelina nodded.

Chichira can control the flow of air.

At that time, the little boy holding colorful balloons was kneeling on the ground with empty eyes, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.When the Navy realizes that this is the kid who destroyed the East Coast Candy Town, all guns are turned on the unidentified boy.But before all the bullets were ejected, several puffs of air rushed into the interior of the gun and the gun was disintegrated.As a result, the gunman was knocked into the air by an unknown force.The colorful balloons in his hand continued to explode, and when there was only a pile of rubber left by his feet, there were only a few navy soldiers left on the beach who were not knocked unconscious by the air current.

The young boy released his potential for the purpose of protecting the town from the pirates, but accidentally destroyed the town unconsciously and attacked the navy.

Regardless of the motive and process, the various consequences he caused, as well as the hidden dangers he exposed during this period, are enough to make him a wanted target by the navy.

"The candy town on the east coast was destroyed, and the reconstruction of the candy town on the west coast has also been delayed a little bit. After these few years of development, it will not be able to catch up with Fishman Island."

Having said that, Adelina did not continue.Ace found her parked in front of a workshop.

Compared with the candy shops seen on the road, the exterior decoration of this store is not so eye-catching and exquisite. On the contrary, the owner chose low-key colors as the main color of the exterior of the workshop.On the right hand side of the entrance, there is a spiral vertical rotating display rack full of glass bottles. The glass bottles are filled with colorful powders. With the rotation of the display rack, all kinds of glass bottles filled with colored powders can be viewed one by one. .On the right wall are wood shavings of different lengths but well-distributed. The wooden frame is facing the light, and there are many smaller plants. The branches and leaves of the plants exude the unique sweet smell of Candy City.

On the left side of the entrance stands an irregular multi-grid sandalwood stand, on which the finished candies are placed.Each finished product is placed in a beautiful wooden box, and the name of the candy is marked on the label next to it.

Generally speaking, the decoration styles on the left and right sides are not consistent. It is better to say that the entire store is divided into two styles.Elegant on the left, fun on the right.

There was no one on the first floor.

"On this day every year, this store is closed." Adelina explained, "So the shops around the outside are very prosperous, but this store is empty today."

Ace nodded, "Special period?"

"It is."

It seemed that someone was talking on the first floor, and finally there was a little movement on the second floor.Accompanied by the sound of clear footsteps on the stairs, a tall, dark-skinned man with a brushed hairstyle looked like a young man doing odd jobs.Ace quickly noticed that the man's eyes shone brightly and joyously when he saw Adeline. Of course, the light disappeared when the man realized that there was a man standing behind Adeline. up.

"Bazel. It's been a long time." Adelina nodded at the man, "...Is Mrs. Jenny okay?"

The two quickly exchanged pleasantries.Ace didn't bother to listen.He started wandering the store by himself.

From the moment he entered the door, he was very interested in the finished candies on the left, after all, he also ate many kinds of candies on the way.He wanted to know how special the candy was in the shop that Adelina could visit specially.

He looked at the finished candy, and finally his eyes fell on the candy in the highest wooden grid in the upper left corner.

Ace is tall, and he can reach it with a little stretch of his hand.

In the round glass box lay quietly a piece of red candy that was as exquisite as a jewel, with brown caramel patterns on the surface of the candy.

Ace read the words on the label, "'This candy will give you the power of the flame of your dreams'?"

For someone with the ability to burn fruit like him, such a narrative aroused his interest.

The handwriting on the label is a bit awkward, it looks like it was written by a child.This label is wrinkled and yellowed, and it should have been written a long time ago.

On the reverse side of the label is the date the candy was made.

Ace calculated it in his mind-this was made more than 30 years ago.

On the handrail stairs, a hoarse and gentle voice came, "...Actually, this is just an ordinary candy, which has nothing to do with the sentence on the label."

Ace looked at the old woman with a hunched figure and a friendly smile, and asked politely, "Then why is it placed here?"

It seemed that she didn't expect that there was another person in the room, so the old woman noticed Ace's existence.After listening to his question, the old woman smiled and glanced at Adelina who was paying Bazel with a paper bag in her hand, then looked at Ace——

"Shao Shao fruit is my daughter's dream since she was a child. This is the first candy she made."

Bazel, the young man who was helping Adeline bottle the colored powder into the bag in front of the wooden cabinet, said, "After making this candy, Madam Jenny's daughter will go to sea."

The author has something to say:

I really want to go to this kind of place full of candy aroma orz

Found a bug where Ace was called "Cripple Beddy" with the wallet

It's a second team character that I set up before.

Because there are too few appearances of the second team in the original book.. To be honest, this is a secondary character, but it will appear in the future.

As a result, I forgot that I wrote about Sage before he went to sea, so I wrote Sage up..

Anyway, I'm so sorry! ! ! !
