Country of Insects, Maple Leaf Village.
In a lobby.
"Sturgeon! Sturgeon! Are you listening to me?"
Ueda knocked the ground with a hoe.
"Too much food? Of course, there's a lot of food."
Stork turned his head and said matter-of-factly.
Beside her, the prey was almost piled up into a small mountain, and beside the animals, there were a large number of fruits and edible wild vegetables.
Ever since the "Nature's Unsealing Order", the first thing the Pallas's cat does is to hunt all the animals in the mountains and plains and pick the fruits and wild vegetables that could only be secretly picked in the past. Together with the huge wild boar, when they are marinated, we won't have to starve anymore.
"It's not overeating, it's not!"
Ueda's blue veins on his forehead were exposed. He held the hoe tightly and took a deep breath. He walked to the side of the stork and shouted into her ear, "I mean, what are you going to do!"
"What do you mean, what should we do?"
"Naturally, the ban is lifted and the child's family is coming back. What about you? You shouldn't just stay in this small village. You should go out and take a look, cough cough cough!"
Probably because he was old, after Uto shouted, he immediately choked and coughed violently.
The stork hurriedly patted Utopia's back and murmured, "Go out and see…"
"Yes, you have to go out and take a look. Don't you like cooking? There are many magical existences in the sea, many spices and ingredients that you have never seen before. Go and broaden your horizons. You are so young. It is too wasteful to be in the village."
As Utopia spoke, a gratified smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Now, you don't need to worry about this village. You should live for yourself and walk towards the sea for your dream."
Stork didn't seem to hear it and continued to think, "It seems good to go out…"
"Tsubaki!"
Ueda's mouth twitched and he shouted, "Are you listening to me?!"
"What? Your constipation is too big?"
Suan Ni was stunned and looked at Uto. "Uto, Grandpa, is it really okay to tell me this kind of thing? Why don't I give you some herbal diet? Peach's kindness seems to have this effect."
"I…"
Utopia sighed deeply and his entire body bent down. He waved his hand weakly. "Whatever."
He was old, and he was afraid that he would be angered to the point of cerebral hemorrhage.
"Do what I want? Do you want me to make herbs? Okay, Grandpa Ueda."
Utopia's body paused and the joints of his fingers that were holding the hoe turned white. He took a few deep breaths and walked faster.
"Hello."
However, just as he went out, a white-haired man came into view and greeted him.
"You…"
Uto's pupils shrank and he said in disbelief: "Lo… No, Your Majesty!"
The person who came was Lowe, the King of the Insect Kingdom.
"It's me." Lowe smiled.
Utopia was about to bow, but Lowe quickly helped him up and said, "Ever since the ban was lifted, you have been living well, right? If you have any inconveniences, you can tell me. In the past, the Country of Insects was indeed not very humane. Now I want to make up for something."
"Enough, enough."
Uto said with tears in his eyes: "Naturally, the ban is lifted and our family is coming back. We can be self-sufficient. Your Majesty, you are a good person."
"Good man…"
Hearing this, Lowe showed a self-deprecating smile. "It's good that you're doing well. If you have any requests, you can directly come to Butterfly Town."
"Yes, Your Majesty. May I ask, is this what you came here for? There is no need, there is no need to come personally for such a small matter." Utopia said emotionally.
"No, I heard that there's a woman here called Stork. I'm here to find her." Lowe looked around and looked at the gentle woman in the lobby.
"Looking for a stork?" Uto was stunned.
… .
Pegasus Island.
In the base office, Kuro sat there leisurely, cutting a piece of medium-well beef with a knife and fork and chewing slowly. As he swallowed, he picked up the red wine that had been poured on the table and took a sip.
"Hey, Kuro, can you really eat so slowly?"
On a small table nearby, Leda poured the plate of steak into her mouth and added a little more dimension to the plate stacked next to her.
"What do you know? This is called enjoying good food and enjoying life. Do you know what it means to be in high society?" Kuro rolled his eyes.
"Upper class? Is it really good to eat steak in small bites? Although this beef is a high-level beef specially provided from the Grand Line and only the Admiral is qualified to enjoy it, it's just food. Isn't it just coating it to fill your stomach?" Leda retorted.
"You are also a noble of Versailles?" Kuro was stunned.
"What?" Leda tilted her head.
"No, nothing…"
For a moment, Kuro could not tell if she was in Versailles or if she really thought so.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle…"
Suddenly, the office Den Den Mushi rang.
"Who is it?"
With a click, Kuro took the microphone. Immediately, the appearance of the microphone turned into a man with a beard like a braid and round glasses.
"Ku…"
The Den Den Mushi looked ferocious. When it made the first sound, Kuro was quick to push Den Den Mushi away from the corner of the table, then he kicked forward and leaned back with the chair.
"Lo!!!"
The sound shook the room.
Leda had just poured a plate of steak into her mouth and choked on the sound. Her face turned red and she quickly patted her chest before swallowing.
After the sound waves disappeared, Kuro approached the table again, picked up the microphone, and said, "Moximossi, who is this?"
"Kuro, I am Sengoku! What have you done!"
"Koku-san, I have been staying on Pegasus Island for the past few days," Kuro said innocently.
"Don't joke around! You know what you did in the Country of Insects. I asked you to assist the government, but I didn't ask you to cause trouble there. Do you know how many people are complaining about you to the World Government? The government called me and asked me to ask you what you are doing!" Den Den Mushi roared.
"I'm going to retire! I'm going to retire! Don't let me encounter these terrible things again. Before I retire, can you stop? Is it fun to be despised by the World Government? Do you still want to be promoted?"
'Promotion?'
Of course not!
Kuro raised his eyebrows. "So, the World Government will punish me?"
"Of course there is, this should be a lesson for you!" Den Den Mushi said seriously.
Yada thief!
Kuroki was so happy that his teeth almost fell out.
"Then am I demoted? Or am I ordered not to take a step on Pegasus Island?" he asked expectantly.
