"Well, yes, I remember it very well... I also met my father when he took me to the King's Council as a child. ”

"The King's Council?" Doruton smiled and glanced at Vivi, who was stunned and hurriedly denied, "Ah no... That one... That..."

"Anyway, I've seen Wapol!" Vivi nodded affirmatively, as if to convince herself, "He doesn't look like a good guy!"

But he called himself a pirate, not a king. ”

"He called himself a pirate, presumably to disguise himself. "Wapol must have wanted to return to the island, they were just forced to drift at sea." ”

"That's... So, the people on the ship were forced to leave because Blackbeard, who was attacking the village, because they couldn't defeat him. Vivi was relieved.

"Can't beat it?" the man laughed to himself and gritted his teeth, "No!"

"At that time, Wapol's army didn't go to fight at all!"

"When they learned that they were no match for those pirates, they immediately abandoned the kingdom!"

"Wapol's gang was the first to flee to the sea! That's why everyone is so disappointed!"

"What?!"

"Is this the work of the king of a country!" Wei Wei's expression was even more terrifying than that of a man, her fists clenched and her brows furrowed.

"It's too much, the king should leave his people alone..."

"Vivi..."

"Yes," Doruton continued, "but it was because of this that Wapol's tyranny came to an end. ”

"Until now, the people who have remained on this island are now planning to establish a new country. ”

"So, we're most afraid of Wapole's sudden return right now... Restart his tyranny. ”

"Now is the time when people's hearts are most unstable, and we must avoid such a situation. ”

"To build a peaceful new nation on this island!"

"Wait... Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Usopp suddenly raised his hand, "You just said, until now..."

"That is, is the man called Blackbeard gone?"

"That's right, they left after destroying the country, and the reason for this, no one knows. ”

"Isn't that suspicious?" Usopp shook his index finger repeatedly, "Their motives are not mentioned for the time being, but how can such a tyrannical guy just say to leave?"

"This—" Doruton paused, and said in a deep voice, "well, now that you've said that, I'll tell you what I know." ”

"This incident just happened, but it was quickly concealed, and it is rumored that Blackbeard and his party did not leave by themselves, but were forced to leave!"

"Forced?!" Wei Wei covered her mouth in surprise, "They are all so strong, and there are still people who can force them away, so why should the king and his gang run away?"

"Wrong!" said Dorudon, shaking his finger mysteriously, "It's not man who forced it away, it's God!"

"God!" both exclaimed in unison.

"Wait... Wait a minute... Why do I feel more confused the more I talk about it, isn't God a legendary thing, how can it appear in reality!"

Doruton scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I don't know very well, it's more hearsay..."

"It is rumored that on that day, someone saw a fire-breathing cat on the ridge, and it was that cat who drove away Blackbeard's gang!"

"Cat?!"

"That's right, everyone thinks it's the embodiment of the gods, the patron saint of the snowy mountains!"

"This—" Usopp and Vivi looked at each other.

...

...

On the top of the hill, the castle of the old country.

With the "creak" of the wooden door, a fashionable old lady in a crop top pushed the door in, and the air in the castle was always cold, and because the gate was wide open, the air inside the city was no different from the outside.

Kirby sat on the soft sofa in the room, felt the cold air, frowned, and said without raising his head:

"Shut the door, Doriel. ”

"Hi Hi ~ Sorry Sorry ~ "

The old woman nodded, closed the door with her hand, and the reindeer "Teng" suddenly turned into a humanoid child, and with light steps, ran to Kirby's side at once, and handed over a ointment.

"Give, Kirby, this is today's medicine. ”

"Yes. Kirby nodded, took the ointment, took another sip of coffee, and then stood up and walked out.

"Don't you sit down again?" the old woman smiled at Kirby's back, "You guy, you don't pay for my medicine, you're the only one!"

"No, I have something to do today. ”

"It's because of the people from outside!" the old woman nodded, and without hindrance, she found a comfortable place by the stove and sat down.

"I know, you said before that you are not here for this country, but for people. ”

"Yes. Kirby nodded slightly.

"You were so badly injured that day," the old woman looked at Kirby's back and said with emotion, "That Blackbeard, I've heard of it, is not a guy to mess with..."

"I know, I'm measured. Kirby beckoned and pushed the door open.

"This guy—" Doriel smiled, shook her head, and picked up the plum wine and drank it down.

...

Doriel had known Kirby a week earlier, in a field of snow not far away, and if it weren't for Chopper's smell of blood, she wouldn't have thought that a person was buried in the deep snow.

Doriel almost immediately recognized her as the guy who drove Blackbeard away that day, because she had a wound on her body that had obvious Dark Devil Fruit ability, and in addition, the wound on the girl's back was even more terrifying, I don't know what the force caused it, and she never said when she asked her, just asked herself if she had "Ice Blue Grass".

"Ice Blue Grass?" Doriel was stunned, "Isn't that a herb that has long been extinct? I've only seen descriptions of it in related books..."

In this regard, the girl was quite helpless, but smiled bitterly.

"However, I've heard that there seems to be a place called [New World] that sells this herb, but I heard that it is very expensive?"

"Really!"

...

Until now, in addition to taking her medicine on time every day, the two have actually seen each other very little, and the most they have talked about are only a few people who have come and waited for the girl, and she has no idea about the girl's origin and where she came from.

"Is it the one you are waiting for?" Doriel looked out of the window with goose feathers and heavy snow, and tasted plum wine without taking a sip, and was a little stunned, recalling the dazzling flames and terrifying darkness in the sky that day, and still had a bit of a thrilling feeling.

"Poof!"

In the middle of the night, Doriel suddenly laughed, her fingers lit the table for a while, and laughed at herself:

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, the guy who is about to go into the ground, I'm still afraid of this and that, I'm really living more and more."
