One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House

"Are these two children?"

King Liku looked at the two pitiful little girls in front of him, then turned to ask the guards beside him.

"Yes, it seems that they ran off a merchant ship a while ago. Their parents were not found. They were caught stealing bread from the bakery. The bakery owner thought they were pitiful and sent them to us."

The guard nodded and explained the situation of the two little girls.

"Is that so? Children, what are your names? Where are your parents?"

King Liku looked at the two shivering children and asked with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"My name is Monet. This is my sister Sugar. We don't know where my parents are. They disappeared a few years ago and we can't find them."

The older Monet said timidly, no matter from the movements, expressions, or eyes, this is a little girl who struggled to survive with her sister after being abandoned. No matter who comes, As long as you don't know how to read minds, you won't be able to see any flaws.

"Oh, it's a poor child again, Will! Take them to the palace. It's not a problem to let them run on the street. They are so young, so don't let anyone do it."

King Riku shook his head helplessly. He had already determined in his mind that these were a pair of children who were abandoned by their parents or wandered around due to the death of their parents. It was not that he had never seen such children before, even in Dressrosa in the past. There are many such children, especially during the years of economic depression in Dressrosa. It was not uncommon for them to abandon their children and go out and never return. After the situation in Dressrosa improved, the The first generation of King Riku also specially asked people to find those who went to sea before, but unfortunately very few could be found. The new world is too dangerous. If you can't come back within a few years, the probability of coming back is very slim. After that, the previous generation of King Riku A special amount of funds was allocated to build an orphanage, and special personnel were hired to take care of it. Will, who was next to King Liku, was once a member of the orphanage.

It's just that since the situation in Dressrosa improved, this kind of abandonment of wives and children has almost disappeared. Without orphans, there is no need for the orphanage to exist. It has now become an attraction to commemorate. The painful years of Dressrosa.

The Monet sisters were not natives of Dressrosa, so it would be somewhat inappropriate to leave them to anyone's care. After thinking about it, King Riku decided to take them back. Although they would not raise them as his own children, It's not bad to find a playmate for your two daughters and be a maid, at least they won't be hungry, right?

"Yes, Your Highness the King!"

Will nodded, knowing that King Liku was moved by compassion and wanted to take care of the poor sisters. In fact, if King Liku hadn't said anything, Will and the others would have thought of giving some money together. I wanted to find a lonely old man to help take care of him, but it was naturally better for King Liku to speak, so they didn't say anything more.

"You two, come with me."

Will walked up to Monet, who was protecting Sugar behind him, and said.

"Who are you! Don't go with you! What do you want to do with the sugar?"

Monet looked at Will very warily, and his movements were full of vigilance.

"This is the king of Dressrosa, His Royal Highness King Riku. Seeing how pitiful you two are, I allow you to find a place in the palace to live. Don't worry, we are not bad people."

Will wasn't angry either. The other party must have suffered a lot. If the other party left happily, then Will would have to be wary of whether the other party had ulterior motives.

"Some people said before that they were not bad people and that they wanted to take care of us, but they almost sold the sugar! I won't leave with you!"

Monet held Sugar in his arms and ran backwards. However, how could a ten-year-old child holding a five- or six-year-old child outrun the young and strong king's guard? Will caught up with him in just one step. The two of them directly put their arms around Monet and hugged him.

"Let me go! Let me go! You bastard! Damn it! Let me go!"

Monet struggled desperately, holding the sugar in one hand, and punching and kicking Will with the other hand, but Will, who was wearing iron armor, didn't care at all, even though he was actually not a few years older than Monet. , but he is still an adult after all. Monet is not a person with fruit abilities at the moment, so naturally he cannot be hurt. However, this kind of person's constant struggle makes it difficult to stabilize. Will has no choice but to ask for help from his side.

"Don't just watch! You guys, come here and help! Come on, at least don't let that little girl fall to the ground! Don't make trouble, we are really not bad people, really not, hey! We are still quite energetic!"

"Hahahahaha! Will, you still have such a miserable day. Aren't you known as the number one recruit? How come a little girl makes you so confused?"

Several other people who were also the king's guards said with a smile, but they were laughing. They didn't really stand by and watch. The two came and took the sugar from Will's hand. Compared with the noisy Monet, the sugar was quite good. Obedient, without saying a word, she lowered her head and gnawed on the bread. It was the one that Monet had snatched before. Sugar was really hungry, and because she was young, she didn't care about anything else. She was just like a hamster. He lowered his head and gnawed the bread crazily.

"Give me back the sugar! Give me back!"

Seeing Sugar leave his arms, Monet really panicked and started to scratch and scratch Will, even if his nails were broken, he didn't care, almost crazy.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a knife hit Monet on the right side of his neck. Monet fainted immediately after being attacked, and the screams he had just made disappeared instantly.

"Captain Cyrus!"

Will tilted his head and looked, only to realize that Cyrus, the captain of their escort team, had appeared here at some point. Isn't the captain on vacation today?

"I went out to buy something and heard the noise here. What happened? Who are these children?"

Cyrus asked, wearing casual clothes and holding a vegetable basket in his hand. The Cyrus of this world still became the captain of the kingdom's guard, but he no longer won it by winning consecutively in the gladiatorial arena, and he didn't have much contact with Ska. Wright, so for the time being, the probability of the two of them becoming romantically involved is not high.

"Hey, there are two orphans who came here smuggled in without their parents. His Highness King Liku thought they were pitiful and wanted to take them to the palace to take care of them. However, the children seemed to have been deceived before, so they were very vigilant. They wanted to escape just now. I brought him back, but he kept making a fuss. Captain, how did you do this just now? "

Will said eloquently, and at the same time he was envious of Cyrus's ability to silence people.

"It's a small skill, but it's not easy to practice. If you use it lightly, it won't be effective. If you use it too hard, it will kill people. It's better not to learn it. I'll teach you something else next time. Okay, you can take people back first, but you can say how strong it is. His Highness King Ku has spoken, where is the person? I didn’t see His Highness King Li Ku when I came.”

After Cyrus dealt with it casually, he began to look around for King Liku, but found nothing.

"King Riku is not there...His Royal Highness King Riku!!!"

Will and the other guards looked behind at the same time, but all they saw was an empty street, and King Riku was nowhere to be found at this moment.

"Forget it, I can probably guess where His Highness is. You go back first. I'll go find His Highness King Riku. By the way, when you return to the palace, talk to the queen and princesses. Don't talk nonsense. Just say that I'm following King Riku. Your Highness, don’t let them worry, do you understand?”

Cyrus shook his head helplessly. King Liku was obviously the king of a country, but sometimes his personality was like that of a child. He often ran away from the palace, but this king only went to two places at a time. , coupled with his good strength, there is no need to worry about safety. Cyrus is the captain after all, and the escort team still listens to what he says. But when Will and others took Monet first, they fainted on the surface. Monet's eyelids moved and he showed a very small smile.
