“On the way here, Mr. Genzo mentioned that Miss Belmell used to be a brave sailor?”
Iceybing was not hurrying to proceed with the orange trade, chatting with Belmell instead.
For him now, tens of thousands of berries were nothing at all.
“Ahaha, ahahahaha, that’s all a long time ago. It’s not about bravery; I just want to contribute a little to justice.” Belmell scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Even so, thinking back to her past navy life, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
“In that case, Miss Belmell is indeed an excellent marine.” Icey said with a hint of emotion in his voice.
Belmell, so righteous, probably couldn’t imagine that ten years later, the one hundred million berries accumulated by Nami for the entire village would be snatched away by scum like Vice Admiral Mouse, who conspired with Dragon’s navy!
“There are so many marines better than me, and now I’m just an ordinary villager growing oranges.” Belmell smiled happily.
Suddenly, from the other side of the living room, Aqua’s shameless laughter rang out.
“Hahaha! Drawing a map of the whole world? It’s a brat who’s scared to death of strangers!”
Learning about her dream from Nami’s mouth, Aqua couldn’t help but burst into laughter, slapping the floor of the living room, almost laughing tears out, “Icey, this guy is as stupid as Luffy, ahahaha!”
Holding a book on navigation, Nami blushed, retorting loudly, “Don’t laugh at my dream. No matter how difficult it is, I will make it come true one day!”
“If that’s the case, then you’re just like Luffy, who wants to be the Pirate King, join the Axcysis Church like him, and become a devout and loyal follower of this goddess?” Aqua stopped mocking and suddenly looked at Nami seriously.
“Axcysis believer? I don’t want to join such a strange organization.”
Naomi pursed her lips, looking wary into Aqua’s mischievous eyes.
Wanting to be the Pirate King, that guy named “Luffy” seems stupid!
At the same time, she quietly noted this name associated with stupidity and promised to avoid it if she ever met him in the future!
“Is that so? You must think carefully; without the protection of the Goddess of Water, it is impossible to draw a complete map of the ocean.”
“How can you guarantee that joining this organization will get the protection of the Goddess of Water?” Naomi tilted her head, skeptical.
“Because I, Aqua-sama, am the Goddess of Water!” Aqua’s face was filled with proud excitement.
Look up, be amazed, worship, and feel fortunate to be able to talk face-to-face with the goddess!
In Aqua’s fantasy, Nami should have a surprised look like this, but in reality…
“Oh.”
Nami glanced lightly at Aqua, feeling she must be crazy to believe her nonsense.
Even Nojiko, listening intently to their conversation, withdrew her gaze without much interest.
“Damn, what kind of look is that from you guys? Look down on the power of this goddess?!”
As a goddess who values face very much, Aqua immediately became angry.
“Before persuading you, I still need to show a little bit of the terror of the Goddess of Water!”
With that, Aqua slowly stepped back, blue light shining under her feet, and the surrounding air gradually became moist.
Seeing this, Icey, who was about to warn her not to summon floods to inundate the place, saw Aqua bathed in blue light, raising her hand and snapping her fingers, holding two folding fans in her hand.
With a “sizzle,” the opened folding fan spewed out two thin streams of water, filling the teacups in Nami and Nojiko’s hands with water.
The small rainbow acted like two bridges, connecting the three of them.
‘This silly goddess finally knows how to act appropriately…’
Icey breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Aqua, who was spinning and jumping in front of the two little girls with a mischievous smile, who couldn’t help but show a relieved smile like an old father.
It’s been a hard journey!
“Is this Miss Aqua, a Devil Fruit ability user?!”
Belmell’s pupils shrank, suddenly standing up from the sofa.
As someone who had been to sea, she knew more than Nami, Nojiko, and even the village police officer Genzo!
“Although there are some differences, it’s probably something like that.” Icey answered vaguely.
“Aqua, you’re amazing!”
Nami looked at Aqua, wrapped in water and flowing with admiration. She could almost feel, even with her eyes closed, the comfortable and cool breath that came with the sea breeze in the narrow room!
She naturally didn’t know about Devil Fruit, so she naturally believed in the statement that Aqua was the Goddess of Water.
“With Aqua’s protection, can I draw the most perfect and comprehensive world map?” she asked childishly.
“Of course!” Aqua’s face didn’t blush, and her heart didn’t jump, sticking to her thick-skinned style.
“Then I want to join, I want to join the Axcysis Church!”
“It’s Axcysis, not Axesis!”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s it!”
Two people of vastly different ages but with the same intelligence level quickly reached a consensus.
Aqua thus gained a small force of believers.
“Wait a minute, since Aqua is the Goddess of Water, can she quickly irrigate the Orange Forest?”
The slightly matured Nojiko’s eyes flickered, curiously looking at Aqua.
This year’s weather is unusually dry, and their orange grove seriously lacks water, usually requiring Belmell to walk several kilometers back and forth to fetch water for irrigation.
If Aqua can help, Belmell won’t have to work so hard!
“Nojiko, this kind of thing can’t be casually asked of guests, understand?”
Belmell, with a straightforward personality, immediately saw through Nojiko’s intentions.
“I understand, Belmell.” Nojiko muttered, pouting her mouth and lowering her head.
However, Aqua, immersed in the admiration of her little believers, didn’t think about it so much.
“Irrigating a mere orange grove is completely no problem at all!”
“Nojiko, you’re called Nojiko, right? Let’s go. Let me show you the power of the Goddess of Water!”
“Really? That’s great!” Nojiko smiled brightly, sweeping away her depressed expression.
So, with the equally smiling Nami, they left the wooden house with Aqua, heading to the orange grove not far from there.
Watching the three figures disappear in the blink of an eye, Belmell quickly apologized to Icey with a bow, “I’m sorry, Mr. Icey, those two kids are too ignorant.”
“Miss Belmell, no need to apologize.”
Icey took a calm and meaningful sip and picked up the tea before him. “Maybe it might be Aqua causing trouble for you.”
He seemed to anticipate the scene that was about to happen next, but he didn’t intend to stop it.
This time, he truly supported Aqua in causing trouble from the bottom of his heart.
“Oh? What do you mean by that…”
Belmell brushed the strands of hair falling in front of her eyes behind her head, her face full of confusion and incomprehension.
Minutes later, when she saw the overwhelming flood pouring down from the sky, completely submerging and destroying her orange grove, she finally understood Icey’s words thoroughly.
“My…orange grove!!!”
