Chapter 22: The Candle Shape Magician - Gardino

It's not from the heart, it's just your own hospitality.

In the candle room, Gardino rebuilt a chair, took out a senbei again, and made a cup of black tea again, and then exhaled deeply.

Bending down to hand over the tea, retaining a gentleman's elegance, is the last bit of decency for him as Mr3: "Are you still satisfied with my senbei and black tea?" ”

Nazi ate the senbei with a smile without raising his head: "It's delicious!" ”

Harpy kicked his nose on the face, and the cat gestured: "Pour me another cup of black tea!" ”

These two bastards!!

Gardino was furious in his heart, his gloomy gaze was like a sharp dagger, and he secretly poked Natsu and Harpy directly hundreds of times in a place where several people couldn't see him, but when he turned around, he still had a smile on his face: "Yes~"

Then, like a café waiter with ten years of experience, he respectfully poured a standard eighth-point cup of black tea into the cup in front of Harpy.

"Suck it!!"

"It's so delicious~"

Damn it! This stinky little ghost, and this stinky cat, is so presumptuous in my place, and orders me like a servant......

In the no-man's corner, Gardino hung two lines of tears, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and his heart was full of unwillingness: If this spreads, where will I put my face in the future? ?

He was supposed to be the master, but now he became the lowest existence in this candle house, which made Gardino hate it in his heart.

Just when he was secretly planning how to retaliate, the voice of Lucy and Miss Golden Week chatting soundly came from his ears, Lucy intended to be tempted, Miss was completely defenseless, and in just three or two sentences, Lucy found out the 'identity origin' of the two.

"I see, you're here to find your family members who haven't returned for a long time, that's why you're here......"

"Yes, that's it!"

Miss Jinzhou said panickedly without changing her face, looking really like a left-behind child abandoned at home by her parents, "Uncle 3 promised to help me find my parents, thanks to him to protect me along the way." ”

Gartino: "......"

How can the other party believe this kind of lie that can be seen through at a glance?! Sure enough, Miss Golden Week is still too young, and her skills in lying are not mature enough, so I have to think of a reason to come back......

"What a poor child......"

Lucy, Natsu, and Harpy all cast distressed glances at Miss Golden Week at the same time, "Otherwise, you can join us in the future, and we will definitely help you find your family!" ”

Gartino: "!! ”

No way?! I really believed it?!! Are these guys so innocent?! And to the person you just met is so generous to say that you want to help each other find their family, this is too kind!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gardino wouldn't have believed that such a seemingly simple character who could release flames at will would be so gullible to others.

In fact, I really don't blame Natsu for being deceived, mainly because Miss Golden Week's acting skills are amazing.

In fact, although Miss Golden Week is only sixteen years old, only 145cm tall, and her face is still childish, her brain is very smart, and her wisdom is above Galtino, and she is now the chief conductor of the Baroque studio.

This is also the reason why she can deal with everything calmly no matter what she encounters!

At this time, Gardino's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of shock, but at the same time as the turmoil in his heart, a bold thought slowly popped up in his mind: 'Wait! Since these guys are so easy to deceive, maybe I can trick them into doing things for me? As long as you can make good use of them, maybe you can easily get rid of the two giants on the island. But before that, you still have to test their strength first! ’

On the other hand, Natsu and Harpy have been firmly attracted by the story told by Miss Golden Week: their parents have not returned for three years, and the kind-hearted 3 uncles took themselves to the sea to find their parents, encountered a storm on the way, and unexpectedly came to the small garden, but because it was full of ancient beasts, volcanoes and giants, they could not find a way to go to sea, so they could only settle here temporarily, and occasionally they would have diarrhea because of eating expired senbei......

The story is full of ups and downs, thrilling and thrilling, listening to this simple person, one cat and four eyes shining, I can't stop.

Fortunately, Lucy on the side has a bit of a brain, unlike Natsu and Harpy who are stupidly gullible to believe Miss Golden Week's story, but her brain seems to be limited-

'Natsu and Harpy, two fools, only see what is on the surface!' ’

Lucy, who has a wealth of writing experience, thinks that she has seen through the truth, and has silently made up a 30,000-word short story outline in her mind: 'If my expectations are correct, this person called '3' must be ...... Child traffickers! He used the excuse of helping to find his parents to trick the simple girl in front of him into going with him, in fact, he wanted to take her to other places to sell, but unfortunately he encountered a storm, so he ended up here! ’

In fact, Lucy will be suspicious of Gardino, in addition to the fact that she doesn't want to admit it in her heart, mainly because of Gardino's unruly attitude towards the three of her when she first came in, and the weakness after seeing Natsu use the flames, this contrast between the former and the latter is really not like a 'kind uncle'.

'I'll have to test his strength, and then I'll have to remind Natsu to be careful not to be fooled by this guy!' ’

In a small candle house, the heat of black tea and green tea is constantly steaming, and the faint fragrance fills the whole room, and the four people and one cat who are sitting in it talking and laughing are each thinking about it at this time, ready to stage a thrilling battle of wits and courage.

After eating the afternoon tea, Lucy suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, there is one thing that I have been curious about since just now, how did you make this candle house?" ”

"Well...... I'm the one who did it, I'm a candle man, and I'm able to make all sorts of things out of candles. ”

Gardino thought about it and found that there seemed to be nothing to deceive, after all, he had already used the ability of the Wax Fruit in front of them before, and the ability of the Devil Fruit was not a big deal, so he said it directly.

"Candle Man?!"

"Make something out of candles?!"

Natsu and Harpy were taken aback, and at the same time they stared at Gardino with wide eyes, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you the ......?"

"Am I ......??"

Gardino was stunned: Have these people heard my story? Or is my face full of stories?? Ahhh~ I see! Is that so? That's right! It was definitely me who accidentally typed out my name when I was on a mission!

I really can't help it...... It is reasonable that a man like me who is so temperamental, so elegant, so handsome, and so special will be impressed, although I have a good aftermath every time I do a task, but news birds are everywhere, and there is no way to accidentally expose them......

Just when Gardino was immersed in narcissism and couldn't extricate himself, Natsu and Harpy spoke in unison again: "Could it be that you are...... Candle-shaped magician?! ”

"That's right! I am handsome and intelligent, noble, elegant and powerful......"

Before he finished speaking, Gardino's proud speech came to an abrupt end, and the proud look on his face, as well as the movement of stepping on the chair and raising his head at a 45-degree angle to look up obliquely, also froze directly, "Huh?? ”

What styling?? What magician?? Is there any serious illness with this person and a cat??

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Three minutes later......

"I see...... You're also one of those Devil Fruit powers! Natsu looked at Gardino and said with some disappointment.

"But your abilities do look a lot like the Modeling Magus! Right, Harpy? ”

"That's right! But if you look at it that way, Natsu is the Burning Man and Gray is the Iceman? ”

"Sounds like a lot of fun!! And what about Elusa? Iron Man? ”

Harpy complained speechlessly: "Natsu, you are so stupid!" Iron Man's words should be Gajiru, right? Elusa is supposed to be a sword...... Belch...... What should it be? ”

Natsu didn't care about Harpy's pretending to be stupid, but he now had a bottom in his mind about Gartino's ability.

You must know that Natsu had been in contact with Smokefruit Capable of Smokey Smoke Fruit before, which means that he had long known that there was a Devil Fruit in this world that could transform people's bodies, so it was not surprising to know that Gardino was a Candle Fruit capable person.

It's just that in Natsu's opinion, Devil Fruits are far less useful than magic, because according to Smoker, after eating Devil Fruits, they are restrained by the sea, while the magic they use is not.

Thinking of this, Natsu couldn't help but cast a look of pity at Gardino.

Damn it! What kind of expression does this guy have?!

Looking at Natsu's scowling gaze, Gardino felt unhappy for a while, but in the end he forcibly suppressed it, and asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Natsu: What are your abilities? I just seem to have seen that you can use the flame at will?? ”

"Oh, did you say me? I'm the Fire Slayer Dragon Magus! ”

Gartino: "......"

Why is it that I can understand every word, but when it comes together, I don't know what it means? Can you explain, what is a Dragon Slayer Magister?

"Nazsan, what are you talking about the Dragon Slayer Magister? Why haven't I heard of the Great Voyage in all these years? ”

"The Dragon Slayer Wizard is the one who uses the Dragon Slayer Magic! And then because my attribute is fire, that's why I'm called the Fire Slayer Dragon Magister! Natsu explained as a matter of course.

This kid...... It's like, 'Don't you even know this?' What is the matter with the proud eyes of 'What is the matter?!! It's like hitting him!!

Gardino clenched his fists.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Natsu put it succinctly: "You can set fire, and you can recover your magic and physical strength by eating fire, but you can't eat your own fire." ”

Out of vigilance, Natsu didn't say anything about his weakness of being sick.

Hearing Naz's explanation, Gardino was directly stunned with a capital letter on his face: It doesn't matter if you can set fire, there are not a few people and people in this world who can do this, but eating fire to restore magic and physical strength?? I don't know what magic is, but the mere fact that I can recover my strength is incredible! Even those with Devil Fruit abilities don't have such a god-defying ability, right??

This guy ...... What kind of monster is it??!!
