boom!
The dense jungle turned into a wasteland in an instant under Vivian's fierce punch.
At the same time, a petite figure suddenly came into Vivian's sight.
This was a child who looked to be about ten years old, wearing tattered mud-colored clothes. It was unclear if it was the original color or because it was stained with mud, but his dirty little face was full of fear.
The waving fist froze in the air, and Vivian stared at it for about ten seconds, and then the next moment...
"Wow!
!”
The little girl cried out "wow" and burst into tears.
Vivian: “…”
"No, little sister, who are you?"
Vivian was shocked. The girl whose emotions escaped my observation Haki was actually such a young girl
However, the little girl couldn't stop crying after hearing Vivian's question. She just wiped the tears from her face and said hesitantly: "My name is Yindis, and I'm from...from the Lemon Kingdom...Wuwuwuwu..."
Vivian: “…”
Lemon Kingdom
Vivian recalled the map of the Grand Line that he had seen before. It seemed that this country was called "the two fragrant and fresh countries" together with the Taro Kingdom decades ago. The country's military strength and economy were not inferior to the current Taro Kingdom. However, due to some unknown changes, the Taro Kingdom began to go downhill. Not only was its national strength no longer what it used to be, but later it became in dire straits and the people were living in misery under the invasion of pirates.
"Why would someone from the Lemon Kingdom come to the Taro Kingdom? And they are such young children..."
Vivian muttered, and saw Yindisi still crying out of the corner of her eye, so she couldn't help but said, "Hey, kid, how long are you going to cry?"
He thought that he had clearly held back when he threw that punch just now, and the effect was only to blow away the surrounding grass and trees, but it was completely impossible to cause any harm to the little girl herself.
After all, he has fought against Big Mom and Yinm. Although he is not the strongest in the world now, it is definitely not too much to rank him fifth after Garp, Whitebeard, Luffy and Red Hair, right
Therefore, he is still very confident in his own abilities.
He dared to guarantee that his punch did not hurt the little girl at all.
However, after hearing Vivian's "fierce" words, Yindi actually held back her tears. She bit her upper lip with her lower lip, trying hard not to make any sound, while tears were still dripping.
Vivian: (⊙_⊙)
never mind.
"So, are you a devil fruit user? What is your purpose in coming here?" Vivian asked.
“I…I…”
Hearing Vivian's question, Yindis seemed to perk up immediately. She wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously with her sleeves, and then stood up. Her little face was even dirtier than before.
"I'm here... to visit my relatives in the Taro Kingdom." Yindis said.
"Looking for relatives?"
"Um!"
Yindis nodded heavily. "My grandpa passed away a week ago. Before he died, he told me that I had an aunt living in this country and asked me to go find her, so..."
"aunt?"
Wait, let me sort out the relationship.
It should be her grandfather's daughter, that is, her mother's sister, right
"What's your aunt's name?" Vivian asked.
"Morse Kelly," Yindis answered.
"Morse Kelly? I've never heard of her."
Vivian nodded. After all, he had just arrived in the Taro Kingdom today. How could he possibly know the people on this island
So he continued, "Come with me later, I'll ask the intelligence personnel in the team to help you find out... Oh, and you haven't told me yet, are you a devil fruit user?"
"I.. Yeah."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer: "I am a user of the Parahuman Illusion Fruit. I can reduce my presence to a minimum, and I can also hide myself perfectly through the things around me, just like this."
As she spoke, she lay down on the ground. In the blink of an eye, her entire body disappeared from Vivian's sight. Not to mention his vision, even his observation Haki could hardly detect the existence of this little girl.
"So awesome?"
With some curiosity, she moved closer to take a closer look. When the distance was less than 20 centimeters, Vivian finally saw a hint of the so-called flaw.
No wonder..
If the wind had not blown the grass out of shape, Vivian would probably not have noticed the existence of the little girl until she left.
"Is the Illusion Fruit a lower-level fruit than the Invisibility Fruit? You can only turn yourself invisible when you touch an object..."
Just like a chameleon.
And the area of the object must be larger than the human body. Otherwise, if half of it is exposed, even a fool can see you.
"Come on, little sister. I'll take you to find your aunt." Vivian smiled and stretched out her hand.
He was naturally feeling guilty because of the misunderstanding just now and he almost killed the little girl with one punch. At this moment, he could only try to use a gentle tone to prevent the little girl from crying again.
But Yindis, after seeing Vivian extending his hand, did not hesitate at all and directly stepped forward to hold the other party's hand, and then said: "Thunder Sword Master Vivian, I...I know you."
“Well, a lot of people know me.”
Vivian smiled and walked back with Yindis. After walking a few steps, Yindis continued, "Vivian... Big brother, my home... my hometown has been occupied by the army. Many friends in the village have been forced to join the army. Those who are unwilling have been beaten to death. Can you help us?"
Vivian stopped suddenly when she heard this.
"Forced to join the army? You mean... someone occupied your kingdom's land and then forced the men on your island to join the war?"
"Uh-huh."
Yindis nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, and then continued, "My grandfather was beaten to death because he wanted to stop them."
There was no emotional fluctuation when she said this, as if she had already gotten over the sadness long ago, and now only revenge was left.
"Is it the Sixty-Four Nations Joint Army?"
"right."
Yindis, who often read newspapers with her grandfather, naturally knew what the Sixty-Four-Nation Joint Army meant.
"So.. did you see a man wearing a white smiley mask among those people?"
"No." Yindis shook her head.
“I see.”
Vivian smacked his lips, but before he could continue, Yindis continued, "But I know their leader is called 'Zero', and all the soldiers under him call him 'Lord Zero'."
