"Miss, you're angry."

"I'm not angry—"

The lady with puffed cheeks tilted her head, not at all looking like she was 'lifeless'.

"Miss, that boy..."

Recalling the blonde boy standing in a daze at the entrance of the alley before, the young man in the black suit with a flower scarf frowned.

"It's dangerous!"

"Liar,"

The noblewoman, with her hands on her hips, turned her head and asked:

"With little Peake by my side, what's the danger?"

Uh···

These words made the young man in the black suit speechless, and he could only point forward.

"Miss, the auction is about to begin."

When the lady beside him stepped forward, the young man in the black suit who deliberately fell behind rubbed his frowning brows.

It's because of people like me that you're in danger, Miss...

————

"Is it really an auction?"

After discovering that the boy in the suit was suspected of being 'Saigor Pique', Rossi immediately rolled onto the roof and followed the two to the door of a theater.

At the entrance of this theater, there were already many well-made carriages, and the heads of the coachmen were held high, and the owners of these carriages were both rich and noble.

And when the lady and the juvenile version of 'Segnor Pique' arrived at the door of the opera house, everyone took off their hats and saluted, leaving Rossi, who was lying on the opposite roof, frowning.

It seems that the noble lady should have a lot of status.

is indeed very in line with the setting of 'Sympathetic Miss', so what is Sagnor Pique's identity?

Family?

Bodyguard?

Or...

The reason why Rossi pays so much attention to Saigniol Pique is because in the future Don Quixote family, Pique can be said to be a rare 'good man'.

Affectionate and righteous, sympathetic to the weak, and an iron-blooded tough guy who is not good at cheating.

At the same time, in this One Piece world where 'abandoning his wife and children' is already a traditional art, he is still a good man who takes care of his family extremely. In order to make his wife, who was seriously injured in a vegetative state, smile, he even did not hesitate to put on his deceased son's baby clothes...

It can be said that Pique, who has a perverted appearance, is definitely a real gentleman.

A hundred times more gentlemanly than those gentlemen who only care about the 'elegance' of appearance!

"Such a person, as a partner..."

Let's take a look first-

Having made up her mind, Rosie quietly retreated from the roof, preparing to sneak around to the other side of the theater.

———

In the opera house,

The small circle of handsome gentlemen and wealthy merchants dressed in gold and silver was called a 'charity auction', but for most people it was nothing more than a place where power and money were exchanged.

In addition to these 'big shots', there are also female companions they bring to show off, and family members who increase their knowledge. So Rosie, who changed into a small suit and teaed slowly with black tea, didn't arouse anyone's idea.

The so-called aristocratic 'temperament' is nothing but a manifestation of self-confidence, money and status can bring self-confidence, and strong violence can also bring self-confidence.

"The next auction is for Miss Poliziano Chorra's work: Spring!"

The ladies seated in the first row of the auction stood up and saluted slightly, while most of the people in the theater nodded in return.

Of course, everyone's respect is not because of the title of the director of the other party's 'Baisha Orphanage', the identity of the initiator of this charity auction.

It's because this gentle and beautiful lady is none other than the queen of Akanya and the ruler of Odense!

Poliziano Chora?

Jorah?!

burst

In the corner behind, Rosie, who was shocked by the name, gushed out a mouthful of black tea, provoking the disdainful gaze of the little girl next to her.

"Sorry, sorry,"

"I'm just amazed at that Jorah... Lady's painting. ”

Rosie, who put down the black tea, smiled, and her blonde hair and sunny mature smile made the little girl who was quite despised just now blush.

This little brother is pretty good-looking...

"Of course, Miss Jorah is the jewel of our Oden!"

As soon as the owner of the painting being auctioned was mentioned, the little girl immediately came to her senses, and gushed about the other party's deeds to Rossi, obviously taking the noble lady as an idol.

Poliziano Chora, Queen of Acanglia.

At the same time, he was also a famous painter and opened a White Sand Orphanage, so that the orphans of the whole of Odense could be properly housed.

He is a high-ranking and powerful person, with a beautiful appearance, a gentle personality, and a sincere attitude towards others, focusing on government affairs and raising orphans. Until now at the age of 30, she is still single, and she is the lady with the most suitors in the whole of Akanya...

"When I grow up, I want to be an adult like Miss Jorah—"

"Uh-huh,"

In the little girl's star-eyed shape, Rosie nodded repeatedly, but she smelled the smell of 'knives' in her heart.

The Jorah he knew, that is, the cadre of the Don Quixote family decades later. is a sturdy aunt with an extremely noisy and narcissistic personality and heavy makeup, and the elegant lady in front of her who is about to be praised by the little girl is simply two extremes!

Hmmm... The love of taking care of children is very similar.

It seems that—

Rosie looked up at the row of noblewomen in front of him who were elegantly coping with the compliments of the nobles and wealthy merchants around him, and finally saw a shadow of 'Jorah' in the future from the color of the other party's hair.

How could the queen of a dignified country run to the Don Quixote family to fight and kill?

In other words, what great changes will happen to this kingdom of Akanya?

Touching his chin, seeing that there was still a long time before the auction, Rosie decisively turned around and quietly left, and even the little girl who was talking about the queen's deeds was halfway through to find that the 'little friend' she had just met had disappeared.

————

"Tsk, what kind of bar is that!"

When Rossi returned to the docks, Torrebol's scolding could be heard from afar.

"It's just a bar girl, and she actually talks to me about poetry, painting, and ideals... But I just want to sleep—"

"Ahem, don't say this in front of Dover."

An embarrassed Diamanti pulls La Torrepol, both orphans who grew up in the 'garbage disposal area' of Spice Dameluz, and who are naturally exposed to murder and arson, abduction, women and alcohol.

But Dover is different from Rossi, both in temperament and behavior, he is obviously not an ordinary person. Discuss in front of them the kind of thing like having fun...

"Has the buyer of the goods been found?"

No sooner had he stepped onto the deck than Rossi heard Torrebol's complaints.

This kind of thing... He couldn't help and didn't want to care.

"It's been negotiated, it turns out that doing business here is so easy."

When it comes to business, Torrebol no longer struggles with being denied 'service'.

"The businessmen here are not interesting at all, and they actually release the purchase price of various materials generously, although it saves us a lot of time, but..."

But Torrebol can't enjoy the fun of 'bargaining'!

"Ferverford, I've heard that the queen here is very wise."

Dover, who sat on the oak barrel, also spoke,

"She has a good relationship with the navy, and she has built the port to be impregnable, and at the same time manages the entire city in good order, and it is said that she is very strong and artistically talented, and I really want to meet her——"

Looking at the silk threads in his ten fingers constantly flying to form various patterns, and he seized all the time to exercise the ability of the fruit, Rosie touched his chin.

"From what I've heard, that Queen Jorah is probably not in vain. But..."

If nothing else, there is a good chance that something will happen to her.

"Pika, this is a letter for you."

With this in mind, Rosie handed the cake from the charity auction to Pika, who was sitting on the deck, and Pika took the cake and threw it into his mouth.

Gollum,

Ahh

"Thank you,"

For Pika, it doesn't matter how much things there are, it's the mind that counts.

"According to the information we have heard, this city deserves the name of 'Fairytale Town'. Great fit for a long-term trading point, but..."

Summing up what everyone had seen and heard, Rossi found the city to be a very good trading partner. There are no traces of pirates around, and there is no need to carry a knife or a gun to do business, which is almost a rare 'pure land' in the One Piece world.

"The risks at sea cannot be ignored,"

Torrepol pointed out that

"When we came, we killed all the way. - Without a few of us, it would be difficult for ordinary people to deliver goods to the city. ”

"That's right,"

But that's not what Rossi is worried about, if the owner of the city is really the future 'Jorah', then the city must have undergone a great change.

There is also 'Saigno Pique', who will also join the Don Quixote family in the future.

Then the occurrence of variables must be a sure thing!

"In this case, you make a deal first, and then I'll go and find out the information."

After exchanging what they had seen and heard, Rossi quietly left the Don Quixote again.

He's going to see if the charity auction is over, and then investigate 'Señor Pique' and 'Poliziano Chora' to see if there's anything new to discover.

I don't know if it's 'the gears of fate starting to turn' or if Rossi's luck has just hit this day. After quietly following the two to the Lord's Mansion, located in the middle of the city, the two targets separated.

Jorah, who looked like a noblewoman, entered the lord's palace surrounded by servants, and the young version of Pique, who was a guard, did not rest immediately, but walked in the direction of the docks.

？

With the ability of the Fruit of Silence, Rossi hangs far behind Peake and sees him walk into a hotel. Not long after, two men in black suits also walked into the hotel.

？！

"Those guys..."

There are many people in this world who like to wear black suits and ties, but unlike the 'calmness' of the security personnel and the 'intimidation' of the gangster family, these two black suits give Rosie a 'cold' feeling.

"Hopefully I'm thinking too much,"

A bad conjecture came to Rosie's mind, and he quietly infiltrated the inn, first climbed onto the roof, and then drooped from the roof into the attic.

Sticking his ear to the plank, he searched a little bit with the fruit's strengthened hearing, and finally heard an indifferent voice at the edge:

"Pique, the mission begins."

————

PS: The Don Quixote family, except for the four-suit and Baby-5, which have a little description of childhood, are all tabula rasa. So it's up to me to fill it, and I don't think Oda has time to backstab me with something like "Don Quixote Family Gaiden".
