Chapter 1: Lovesickness is Finally About to Begin
Haiyuan Calendar Year 1501.
Three years ago, the words spoken by Pirate King Gol D. Roger before his execution attracted many people to rush to the sea.
"Do you want my treasure? If you want, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I put all the treasure there."
This caused many pirates to establish hegemony and fight hard for the "One Piece," thus forming the "Great Pirate Era."
Today, three years later, young people who long for the legendary treasure "One Piece" and evil heroes who use this as their reason set out on a journey.
The entire ocean situation has become extremely chaotic.
The Great Route.
Calm Belt.
An isolated island filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts.
A red-hued ship, towed by two giant snakes, docked next to the island.
A woman walked down from above, wearing a white cheongsam with a red outer robe. Long hair like ink. Fair skin, slim figure, and beautiful face. Her name: Meshar, the current Amazon Lily Emperor of Nine Snake Island.
Now she was heading towards a vibrating area on the island. As she moved forward, even the wild animals passing by did not dare to act recklessly towards her.
Several minutes passed. What comes into view is a scene like a battlefield. The huge beasts fell to the ground and their bodies piled up in the center like the top of a tower.
A boy who looks very sunny and handsome, about 14 years old, sat cross-legged on it.
"Nova, long time no see."
At this time, Shakuyaku saw him. The icy beauty on her face melted instantly, showing a beautiful smile.
"Ah! It's Sister Shakuyaku Are you here so early this time?"
Nova, resting his chin on his head, thinking about life, looked back after hearing the sound. Then he jumped down from the tower of piled beasts. Meshar, looking at Nova who came before her, stretched out her hands. He immediately hugged her head. Nova only felt that there were two huge soft cakes on his face, feeling breathless.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
After a long while, he was released. At the same time, he could clearly smell the fragrant and attractive body fragrance of the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Really, Sister Shakuyaku, don't do this every time! I almost can't breathe!"
Ever since the battle with the woman in front of him a month ago, her attitude towards him, which was not very intimate to begin with, changed greatly. Now, it gradually developed to the point where she had to do this to him every time they met. Although it does feel nice and soft, it will suffocate you if used for too long.
"Oi! Sorry! I couldn't help myself!"
Hearing the boy in front of her complain, Shakuyaku immediately apologized softly. At the same time, she reached out to help him tidy up his messy hair. He didn't move either, just looked at her quietly. In this atmosphere, her face slowly turned red under his gaze. She shifted her gaze in panic.
Shakuyaku diverted attention, untied a small box tied around her waist, then held it in her hands and handed it to him like a treasure.
"Look, what is this?"
"This is?"
Nova took the box with some doubt and opened it. His eyes lit up!
"Devil Fruit!"
"It really is a devil fruit! It really helps!"
"Thank you so much, Sister Shakuyaku !"
He smiled brightly at her. Before, although he mentioned it, he didn't hold out much hope. After all, as the treasure of the sea, the devil fruit is quite difficult to find in a short time. He had originally planned to go out and look for it himself after this training, but he didn't expect her to give him such a surprise.
"Is that all?"
"What?"
Hearing what Shakuyaku said, Nova was a little confused. Feeling the atmosphere is a bit wrong!
Shakuyaku didn't say much, instead, she reached out and hugged him tightly. The wind blew gently, lifting her inky long hair. The picture seemed to be frozen at this moment.
After a while...
"From now on, stay on Nine Snake Island, stay by my side, and I can get you anything you want!"
Her gentle voice rang in his ears.
"So... don't even think about going out to sea. If you leave, I'll be in a lot of pain here."
Nova listened to the murmur of the beauty beside him. His face also changed. Pain? No way! Could it really be that?
He's only 14 years old! How is that possible?!
Lovesickness! A disease that all emperors of Nine Snake Island may have suffered from. This kind of lovesickness is difficult to cure. The symptoms can only be relieved by seeing the person you love. Otherwise, the pain will become unbearable after a period of time.
Nova's eyes were a little complicated. All along, he thought that Shakuyaku started to treat him well because she had developed a sisterly relationship with him. He did not expect it to be lovesickness. After all, he is not that old now. So he didn't think in that direction.
Taking a deep breath, he patted her back comfortingly.
"Sister Shakuyaku! This is my first place of refuge in this world!"
