The void distorted, and then a building with an astonishing shape that seemed out of this world appeared before the eyes of the villagers huddled near the Mister Angel.
[Ding! Congratulation on the opening of your fourth art store!]
[System level 4: 6890/10000 for next upgrade]
[+16 dimensional art store]
[Art stores available to use: 4/29]
"What in the world is this?!?"
"Is Mr. Angel creating another miracle?"
"What is this building that appeared out of nowhere?
...
..
Several gasps and chattering sounds erupted from the crowd of villagers at this moment.
"Mr. Rob, can you explain to us what this thing is, and why you chose our small village to create it?"
The man who spoke was a young man who seemed to be 20 years old or younger, when Rob stared closely at this young man he was a little surprised.
"Are you... Genzo?!"
"Yes sir... huh?! How do you know my name, I don't remember knowing you before?!"
Young Genzo was surprised that this esteemed angel knew his name, even the chatter of the crowd had gone up some degrees due to this situation.
"I am a heavenly angel! Of course, nothing such a simple thing would be hidden from me."
Rob had really thick skin, since he presented himself to these villagers as an angel he would continue to do so, after all, when they saw their future selves in Arlong Park arc they would truly believe that he was an angel who came to save them from an ominous future.
"..."
Young Genzo froze and didn't know what to say, he too had been feeling suspicious about this person the whole time, could he really be an angel?
He was the son of the former mayor. and he is the current mayor of the village, after his father's death last year, he was forced to succeed him in the affairs of the village, so he made sure to do his job well so as not to waste his father's work.
That was why he dared to converse with this person claiming to be an angel, after all, even if he was not an angel, it'd better not be a demon, he didn't think that a person who could fly would be simple after all.
"You're worried that I might be a bad guy who brings misfortune to your village, aren't you, young mayor?!"
Rob took the pose of a wise man, when he stroked his non-existent beard by his hand.
Genzo and the other villagers were surprised when they heard Rob's words.
Can this person read his mind or what?! Genzo was puzzled.
Rob advanced and patted Genzo's shoulder as he sighed gently.
"Don't worry man, I'm just an angel investor, I came to this place of destiny to open my art store, that's all."
Rob continued to speak after seeing the villagers' expressions change.
"What I'm selling is an art that will change your lives, look at that banner hanging in the sky over there."
The twinkling lights surrounding the cover of the Straw Hat Pirates lit up just the moment Rob wanted it.
Only now did the villagers realize that there was a strange lighthouse-like object hanging in the sky above their head the whole time.
[Welcome to the Art Store!]
[Where you can enjoy the future of the world!]
...
"You're obviously just a fake angel! No, it's more correct to say you're just a cowardly chicken, dressed as an angel."
At this moment, a teenage girl's voice sounded from the crowd, making the atmosphere silent.
Immediately after he finished his speech and convinced Genzo and the other villagers that he didn't intend any harm to them or the village, a little girl came out who looked 14 or 15 years old, had long red hair, and was dressed in navy clothes that looked older than her and didn't fit her body which obviously it is still maturing.
Rob froze completely as if he couldn't believe that in this world there was someone who would dare to insult him!
In his previous world, when people mentioned him then they used the word "the Great" for fear of being targeted by him, only his name intimidated many.
But now there's a random girl called him the Cowardly Chicken in an angel outfit.
"Bell-mère!! This is a disrespect for the esteemed angel!" Genzo said.
"What is this troublesome brat doing here!?"
"Come on, apologies to Mr. Angel now, you brat!"
"Mr. Angel Rob, please don't bother with this brat girl, and forgive her, she is like this to all strangers, since her father, who was a navy captain died and she is like this."
"Yes, Mr. Angel, don't be mad at her, as you see, she always wears her father's navy outfit and yells that she's going to be a captain and bring honor to the village...Hehe... She's not a bad kid though."
"Please forgive her, sir..."
"Please forgive her, sir..."
"Please forgive her, sir..."
...
"You all...!"
The teenage girl, Bell-mère, watched all this with palpable anger. Just how could they trust this strange man? Which is clearly taking advantage of their stupidity and inexperience.
"Hmph... You all can trust him all you want, we'll see later who's wrong about this... Bye."
She turned around after letting out her last words like Tsundere in a rage.
Rob's anger is gone after he gets to know this naughty chick.
Isn't this Bell-mère, the adopted mother of Nami and Nojiko?!
He never expected that she would have this kind of personality in her adolescence.
"Hey! Little girl, don't insult other people everywhere, it will make you die single and never find a husband in the future."
Rob said, suppressing his laughter when he saw the look of shock on her little face that turned into a blush of embarrassment and anger.
"You are the kid..."
"Damn you chicken... Who wants to get married! I'm going to be a navy admiral."
As soon as she left her words she ran away like the wind.
"Hahahahahaha, what a cute little girl."
When the villagers saw Rob laughing just at that, they sighed and laughed at the last shot as well.
