[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

In the second half of the great voyage, in the place called the New World, there is a world-renowned island country named Dressrosa.Due to its unique geographical location and its inherent advantages as a summer island, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit and travel. It is a beautiful and lively tourist destination.And people who come to visit this country linger because of those things?

One is the aroma of the fragrant sea of ​​flowers and the country's proud cuisine; the other is the passionate dance of beauties who seem to be tireless, and the third...

"It's stuck!"

"Hey! Watch your way?! You're stepping on my tail bastard!!"

"Ah! I'm really sorry! It's a little inconvenient for me not to be able to see it, and I've caused you trouble!"

"What, it turned out to be a stinky blind man... Forget it, I don't care about you!" Saying this, a puppet dachshund with its tail wagging snorted, turned around and walked away proudly.

"I'm very sorry!" The tall man who accidentally stepped on the human's tail was full of apology, and apologized loudly in the direction it left. The puppet dachshund ignored him and ran back to a child , wheezing and sticking out his tongue and circled around the child, with completely two attitudes.

"...Really, no matter how many times I watch it, I still find it amazing." The tall man who was left on the spot scratched his head and muttered with interest.

Yes, the third thing that will amaze travelers is the figure of the toys that are naturally integrated into the whole city, coexist with human beings and have life!

"Although it's strange, it always gives people a creepy feeling." The tall blind man withdrew his 'look' at the toy dog ​​and the little boy, started walking again, and walked forward slowly.

"Da da……"

He is holding a wooden stick to scout the way, wearing two-tooth clogs, wearing a purple traditional kimono of Wano country, with a cloak coiled around his neck like a scarf, and he is exploring the road with a tall man with a crew cut Walking slowly, wandering aimlessly in this toy country full of love and enthusiasm, I don't know where I am going.

The man's appearance was square and thick, with a cross-shaped scar extending from his left forehead to both eyes, which seemed to be the main reason for his blind eyes.The lines at the corners of the man's eyes and between the brows are full of traces of time—he is no longer young, but judging from his expression, there is no sign of aging or decadence at all. Quiet, quite leisurely.

"Grumble-"

As he walked, the man's stomach suddenly bulged.

The blind man frowned instantly like a child, with a headache on his face, he scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Oh... I didn't realize it's time for dinner, it's really nerve-wracking, what should I eat? "

Regarding the question of what to eat for lunch, the man really stopped in the middle of the road and began to think seriously.After thinking for a while, he suddenly showed a simple and honest smile, and walked in another direction:

"Let's go back to that izakaya for dinner. After thinking about it, the proprietress' craftsmanship is the most memorable."

Especially the char siu assorted soba noodles specially made by the proprietress. He came to Dressrosa for a few days and was unfamiliar with the place, so he just pointed to the bowl of char siew assorted soba noodles.

Thinking of this, the blind man gradually left with a smile on his lips.

Pass through the main street of the port city of Acacia, climb up the stone steps to a slightly higher terrain, and then turn a few intersections. In the few days after arriving here, it is quite complicated for a blind man to walk this way. The road was already familiar, and it didn't take long for him to walk to the door of this Japanese-style izakaya in Dongcheng District.

The small storefront is a traditional sliding door structure in Wano country. Two paper lanterns are hung on both sides of the small wooden canopy. The handwritten brush characters of "wine" and "food" are written on them, representing the Izakayas serve food as well as drinks.

The blind man opened the door, bent slightly and walked in. As soon as he stepped into this izakaya, which looked small and inconspicuous on the outside, it was actually spacious and well-decorated. Come', leading him into this pure Wano country-style space.

The waitress who passed by with the drink greeted him with a smile. The man came here frequently these days, and he was already familiar with the clerks and waiters here. In addition, the man's honest and honest character and rather silly smile, The younger girls had begun to tease him.

The Kanban lady smiled and led him to the bar where he used to sit these days, served a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile, "What would Mr. Yixiao want to eat today? Buckwheat noodles? Hehe~ But the proprietress hasn't come down yet today." In the store, I guess you can only taste Kanjuro's craftsmanship~"

The blind man known as 'Mr. Smile' heard this, and frowned in disappointment: "Is Mrs. Hill not free today? Why is it so late, and she hasn't come down yet." He was rushing here The proprietress came, uh, no, it should be for the proprietress's handicrafts. At this time, I heard that I couldn't eat dishes that suit my taste, and I was quite disappointed with a smile.

Kanjuro, the izakaya cook who just came out with a freshly baked fried tempura, put on a smirk, leaned over to the bar and jokingly said: "Hey, it's a bit late today, Mr. Smile, It's a pity that you can only live to eat my dishes today. Is there anything you want to order? By the way, I can't make the proprietress's special char siew mixed soba noodles. If you want to eat that, just go upstairs in person Please come down, Madam Boss~?" While talking, he still had a smirk on his face, and winked at the surrounding waiters.

These part-time workers watched from the sidelines. This blind man who visited their small shop almost every day seemed to have a little interest in their proprietress. After drinking two glasses of wine yesterday, he even said something by mistake. Thinking of not being able to eat Mrs. Hill's excellent craftsmanship after leaving, the old man feels quite disappointed." Such words.

At that time, their lady boss was also present. Hearing this, she was very happy, and she even sent a Mitarai meatball made by herself!

After working in this izakaya for so many years, they smelled gossip about the proprietress for the first time! !All the clerks were secretly gearing up for this, waiting to see the further development of the two of them.

Although this Mr. Yixiao, who is of unknown origin and is said to be here for business, doesn’t look like a rich man or something, but he has a good personality, honesty, honesty and humor, and he can still maintain it at this age. Good men with this kind of mentality are rare. Anyway, their bosses are not short of money and power. It's not bad to find a gentle and considerate man to live~

Although they all know that the lady boss who is low-key and gentle on weekdays is actually very valuable, and even the king often comes to drink two glasses of wine and eat something... Kanban girl is sure that once she accidentally caught a glimpse of them Dresslo The scene where Sa's lord of a country is taught by his boss's ears!And definitely more than once! !

But Mr. Yixiao is really nice... If he wasn't too old, these waitresses couldn't help themselves!

The blind man waved his hands quickly with an expression of 'please spare me': "How embarrassing! The second floor and above are Mrs. Hill's residential area, how dare an outsider like me step in without permission! No, no, This is inappropriate!" With that eager expression, he really took what people joked about him seriously, and the waiters around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Kanjuro laughed loudly: "Hahaha—Mr. Yixiao, you are really, I am joking hahaha——You are serious!"

As soon as he smiled, he showed a helpless expression of oh, you are kidding me, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "You... oh, you can't make such a joke casually, after all, Mrs. Hill..."

"What after all? Are you talking about me~" Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything, and a slightly low-key, gentle girl came from the stairs. The blond woman greeted:

"It's finally down, lady boss!"

"Good afternoon, lady boss~"

"Miss Boss! Mr. Yixiao is here again~! I'm just waiting for you to cook!"

"From my point of view, it's clearly aimed at the proprietress~ It's been a few days, hehe~"

"No, no, no, you really misunderstood, I don't mean anything else—hey, maybe you're just kidding me again?"

A group of people laughed and chattered a few words, which made the tall man sitting by the bar feel cramped, and didn't know how to distinguish for himself.

The blonde proprietress shook her head helplessly, and pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her dark blue eyes seemed to be hard to focus, and looked a little dazed and empty. She turned her head and shouted behind her as she went downstairs:

"Varoja! Don't be awkward, hurry down and eat!"

Sure enough, there was no response.

The blonde proprietress sighed and had to let him go.

The vision in front of her was too blurry, even with the special glasses, she still couldn't see things clearly, Innissi frowned, took off her glasses, closed her eyes and returned to the normal state, stretched out the black The wooden cane explored forward, walked slowly into the bar, and asked with a smile to the man who was as blind as herself (her weak vision was on and off, and it was no different from being completely invisible before) :

"I'm sorry, I was delayed due to some things today, so I just come down now... What would Mr. Yixiao want to eat today?"

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves neatly and began to get busy in the bar.

Although the woman's arrival made him laugh, he was still very happy that he could finally eat the handicraft of the proprietress, and said with a smile: "I want to eat your special char siu assorted soba noodles today, madam."

Even though she knew he couldn't see, Inesis still smiled back habitually: "Okay, no problem."

The voice of the blond lady proprietress is slightly low, with a comforting gentleness and consolation. While busy cooking noodles and mixing seasonings at the bar, she also asks about today's business situation. Very personal, soft and watery, methodical.

Yixiao sat at the bar and waited for his order. Although his eyes could not see, his other senses were infinitely magnified. The gentle voice of the woman passed by his ears smoothly, making him feel physically and mentally happy unconsciously. Laughing on the chair, I don't know what I'm happy about.

Listening to Mrs. Hill's voice like this seems to be a supreme enjoyment.

What a... strange person.

Strange, comforting woman.

Sucking on the freshly baked soba noodles, I thought about it with a smile.
