An invitation to a date
"What happened to Rebecca?" Kyros turned to look at his energetic daughter, his eyes revealing a hint of doting affection.
Rebecca excitedly handed the Hyōrinmaru to her father, saying, "Look, this is Haku's weapon! He should be coming to Dressrosa soon!"
Kyros also looked surprised. He took the Hyōrinmaru from Rebecca's hand and examined it carefully for a while.
Then he said, "It really is Mr. Haku's weapon! Where is he?"
Rebecca was too excited and came in without asking any questions!
Just then, Wicca walked in, and Rebecca quickly asked, "Wicca, where is the Master of this sword? Where did you see him?"
Although a little confused, Wicca still said, "That person seemed to be heading towards Lovers Avenue in the Whole Cake Island."
Rebecca now wants to go to Dressrosa next door to find Haku, so she's going to Lovers Avenue with Haku's Hyōrinmaru in her arms.
But Kyros stopped her, saying, "Rebecca, stop! You can't go to Mr. Haku!"
Rebecca stopped in her tracks and asked excitedly, "Why?"
Kyros slowly exhaled and said, "Haku let us recognize each other, restored my lost left leg, and even gave us the power of revenge! We can't trouble Doflamingo with this!"
Rebecca quieted down, realizing her father was right. She couldn't afford to trouble Haku too much in her pursuit of revenge against Doflamingo!
It's worth noting that they've received a lot of care from Haku over the years!
Rebecca then said, "I understand, Father!"
Kyros nodded, then looked at the Hyōrinmaru in Rebecca's hand and said, "Now that it's in your hands, you can hold onto it for Mr. Haku for now!"
Rebecca paused for a moment, then said, "Shouldn't we return this knife to Haku?"
Kyros chuckled and patted his daughter, saying with a smile, "Don't you understand? With Mr. Haku's strength, do you think Wicca can take this knife from Mr. Haku?"
Rebecca seemed to understand something, but before she could speak, Kyros continued, "Now that the knife is here, it means Mr. Haku wants us to go ahead and do it. I think things will go much more smoothly with him overseeing things."
Rebecca nodded emphatically and said, "I understand, Father!"
At this moment, King Gancio of the Tontatta Kingdom spoke up, "Is the Mr. Haku you're talking about the former Marine Admiral?"
Kyros turned around and said, "That's right, it's Mr. Haku! He's been taking care of us all these years!"
King Gancio said, "He seems to be a kind gentleman! I wonder if there's any chance we could invite him to Green Bit?"
"That's right, Haku is indeed a kind person!" Rebecca couldn't help but agree when she heard Gancio praise Haku.
Kyros replied with a smile, "I think he'll come to Green Bit when the opportunity arises!"
Lovers Avenue, this way!
"I didn't expect Rebecca to have matured so much!" Haku remarked.
When her Hyōrinmaru was stolen by the Wicca Tontatta, Haku diverted some of her attention to Green Bit.
After hearing that Kyros wanted to take revenge on his own, Haku decided that he would not interfere in Kyros's battle unless absolutely necessary!
Haku strolled leisurely onto the road, but this time she was walking on this particular road.
Haku's solitary figure always seemed out of place among the people on Lovers Avenue!
Lovers Avenue, Lovers Avenue!
It's obvious that almost everyone here is in a couple; they stroll hand in hand or whisper sweet nothings, every glance and gesture brimming with affection. But Haku, this tall and imposing man, is like a unique sight on this avenue, walking alone.
But Haku didn't care about any of that; her mind wasn't on finding a partner (yes, my mind wasn't on finding a partner! [loudly!!!])
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness. Haku stopped and looked up at the sky, where a white cloud drifted slowly across the blue sky. He took a deep breath, savoring this rare tranquility and peace.
However, just as he was immersed in this tranquility, a series of hurried footsteps broke the peace. Haku turned around and saw a mature woman dressed in a polka-dot Flamenco costume, a flower in her mouth, dancing flamenco as she approached Haku.
Haku watched the other woman's dance with great interest, observing how she continuously displayed her maturity, vivacity, and enthusiasm.
"What a wonderful Flamenco!" Haku exclaimed sincerely after the dance ended.
The woman who had just danced around Haku smiled brightly at Haku's compliment, gave a slight bow in thanks, and then stepped forward, saying in her lively voice, "Sir, may I have the honor of inviting you on a romantic date?"
Haku's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled at the other person, saying, "It's my honor, and I'd like to experience the warmth of this country!"
"Huh?" Violet was instantly dumbfounded, especially considering that before she even got close to Haku...
She had already used her Devil Fruit ability to see that Haku had rejected several women's advances, so she was well-prepared and had a script ready to deceive Haku into trusting her.
But now Haku has directly agreed to her request?
This gave her a sense of unreality, and it seemed like all her preparations and scripted scenarios had been for nothing.
Haku smiled at Violet, knowing her true intentions, but he didn't expose her.
He knew the other person's goal was to get close to him, and he also knew that while he was teaching those thugs a lesson outside the bar, a pair of eyes were watching him the whole time!
The Master of those eyes, Haku, had already locked onto them using her Observation Haki! And the Master of those eyes was none other than Aurette standing before them!
"Then let's go." Haku extended her hand in an inviting gesture.
Violet paused for a moment, then reacted, her face breaking into a bright smile again. She took Haku's arm, and the two, each lost in their own thoughts, walked together down Lovers Avenue.
During the stroll, Violet continuously introduced Haku to the local customs and specialties of Dressrosa.
