Chapter 5 Lively Windmill Village

He reached out and took out a large fragrant pear covered with patterns from the system space.

"Holy shit!!! This is a mythical beast. It's even rarer than the natural type."

Looking at the devil fruit in his hand, Lotte shook his head: "Alas~ What a pity. I'll give it to him when I find a suitable partner."

Shaking his head, Lot put the devil fruit back into the system space.

He looked up at the height of the sun, "The meeting with Luffy and the other one wasted a lot of time."

"Next, there are still 1000 push-ups and pull-ups to be completed."

He always believes that basic exercise can tap the body's potential.

After counting today's training tasks with his fingers, Lot stood up and started the rest of the training.

Hu Hu Hu.

The setting sun shone through the treetops, casting spots of light on Lotte's face.

After completing the training task, Lot sat on the ground very tired. After all, these goals were set according to his limits.

Feeling that his strength had recovered a little, he stood up and brushed the dust off his butt.

"Let's go to town to buy a new piece of clothing tomorrow. This errand uniform is becoming a sieve." As he spoke, Lotte used his fingers to pick at the holes in the clothes.

. . .

the next day.

Lot, who had just completed his morning training task, activated the 'Super Heart Net' to sense the direction of the town.

A bustling village appeared before his eyes.

"Damn, this island is really big. I ran so far before I saw any villages or towns."

Lot stood at the treetops, the sun leaning against the clouds, casting rays of Tyndall light on the village below.

He actually felt as if he was in another world. After all, he hadn't seen such popularity for a year.

This was quite uncomfortable for him as he had lived on Blue Star in his previous life.

"I wonder if Luffy and the others are in town." Lot touched his chin.

He did not choose to use Observation Haki because he knew that some important people did not like being peeped at.

He doesn't want to die before achieving his goal.

For example, being captured by an old man and made into a navy. (Garp: Boy, you understand me.)

"I haven't eaten for a long time. Let's go have a meal first."

After saying that, Lot jumped down from the tree and walked towards the village.

After a while, they arrived at the only restaurant in the village. Having read the comics, Lot recognized at a glance that this was the tavern opened by Makino.

Gently pushed the door open, "Um...give me some ramen."

"Hey, hey, kid, are you wandering here from somewhere else?"

A drunk villager staggered to Lotte's side and hugged his neck: "It's too tragic. Come on, have a sip of wine to warm yourself up."

"Hey, of course we should eat a piece of barbecue first." Another villager walked to Lot in a crooked manner, holding a piece of leg meat.

"Hey, can't you see that this child's clothes are torn? The most urgent thing is to change his clothes first. You can take mine." One of the big men said as he was about to take off his clothes.

Listening to everyone's conversation, Lotte felt a little warm in his heart.

Just as I imagined, this village is full of kind villagers.

Dong Dong.

"You little rascals, don't lead the kids astray." At this time, an old man poked the ground with his cane and stood up.

A drunkard took a sip of wine and interrupted the old man: "Ah, don't talk like that, village chief. Didn't you start drinking when you were in your teens?"

Hiccup~

He burped right after he finished speaking.

"Yakamasi!" the old man blurted out, blushing a little.

"Little brother, would you like a bowl of ramen?" At this time, a smart female voice came from the counter.

Lot also looked up. He naturally recognized that it was Makino, the proprietress of the tavern.

Lotte nodded, "Give me a large portion of ramen. I have money."

The two drunkards who were holding Lot saw Makino appear, and they also let go of Lot very tactfully. Everyone in Windmill Village knew that Makino was a Bomb Dragon.

Lotte slowly walked to the counter and said, "Um... My name is Lotte, and I'm 14 years old."

Makino looked at the boy in front of him with some curiosity. The boy was about the same age as Ace, about 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and yellow skin, and he was very handsome.

Because Lot often uses an electromagnetic knife to cut his hair, he doesn't look like a wild man with long hair. In his previous life as a blue star, he even gave himself a hairstyle.

"My name is Makino, and I'm the owner of this store. Have some hot soup first." Makino pushed the hot soup on the table towards Lot.

"Thank you...thank you."

Seeing Lotte obediently holding the hot soup, Makino nodded with satisfaction and then walked towards the kitchen.

After finishing a bowl of hot soup, Lot exclaimed that what he had eaten in the past year was not eatable by a human.

After a while, Makino came out from behind again, holding a bowl of steaming ramen in his hand.

"Little Lotte, the ramen is here."

Makino brought the ramen to the table in front of Lotte, and then stuffed a set of clothes in his hand into Lotte's hand.

"Here, you can wear this dress for a while. The bathroom is just behind."

"Oh, thank you."

suck~

suck~

"Wow, this tastes really good. I've been eating barbecue for a few years and I'm tired of it. This is an improvement in my diet."

Looking at Lotte eating noodles with big mouthfuls, Makino smiled with satisfaction.

As Lotte drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, he touched his bulging belly with some satisfaction and said, "I've finished it. It's really delicious! Thank you, Sister Makino."

You know, he never drank noodle soup in Blue Star, but now he wanted to lick the bowl thoroughly. This can only mean that this bowl of ramen is too delicious.

Lot stood up with the new clothes in his hand, bowed to Makino, and walked towards the bathroom.

in the bathroom.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I thought, "This face is exactly the same as my previous life, but no matter how many times I look at it, I still think it's handsome."

He smiled and shook his head, walking towards the bathroom.

. . . . . .

Looking at Lot who came out after washing up, Makino nodded with an expression like an older sister looking at her younger brother.

"You look pretty handsome after you cleaned up. You won't have to worry about finding a wife in the future."

Lotte scratched his head and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that no matter how strong I become, I still feel a little embarrassed when being praised by girls."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Makino seemed to remember something, walked slowly to Loto, and said casually: "By the way, have you seen Luffy and the others?"

Lotte slowly walked to the counter and sat down on the high stool.

"Well, yes, I saw them just yesterday."

Makino walked to the counter, picked up a wine glass that was not dirty at all and started wiping it.

He said something casual, "I heard you treated them both to a barbecue?"

Hearing Makino's question, Lot knew it clearly. It turned out that Luffy had told Makino about his encounter with the two little guys. He might have also told Makino about the fight between them.

Although Makino's tone seemed calm, it was as if she was protecting her child. Loto also knew that Makino was very good to Luffy and his friends, just like a real brother and sister.

Lotte scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Uh... I guess so..."

"I heard that you had a fight with both of them?" Makino raised his head with a look of surprise in his eyes.

She was originally worried that Lot was a bad guy and wanted to remind Lot to stay away from those two children.

But when she saw Lotte, she could clearly feel that Lotte was quite gentle and easy-going, like a boy next door, and should not be a bad person.

really!

"Well, I guess so. What's the matter?" Lot didn't know what Makino meant by asking this question.

"Oh, that's pretty impressive." Makino nodded.

Then she seemed to have thought of something and said, "They are always out of tune and get into trouble. You should be older than Ace, so I will trouble you from now on."

There was a hint of doting in his helpless expression, and after saying this, Makino showed a gentle smile again.

Looking at this smile, Lotte couldn't help but think in his heart: "What a gentle sister! Luffy's childhood was really happy. He had the brotherhood of Sabo and Ace, and the family love of Dadan, Makino and Garp."

"Yeah, no problem. No problem." Lotte nodded.

"How about today..."

But before Makino could finish her words, Lotte had already stood up and walked out of the tavern: "Um... Sister Makino, I'm going to the street to buy some supplies and then I'll be back."

Hearing this, Makino smiled and shook his head, knowing that the boy in front of him should be used to living in the jungle like Luffy and the other three.

She could only nod and respond: "Then be careful."

After buying a few clothes and some seasonings, Lot flew back to his shelter.

"It's really more comfortable in my own little doghouse."

As a homebody, Lot really found it difficult to adapt to such a passionate village.

Maybe this is what being cheap is.
