Chapter 115
There's always this feeling of oppression, it's really unpleasant!!
Viola looked at Rebecca, shook her head slightly, banished all her emotions from her mind, and smiled gently, saying, "Go ahead and ask. After you're done, we need to get down to business."
"Okay, I know what to ask."
Rebecca turned to look at the mysterious man, her delicate eyebrows arched at a 30-degree angle, and a gentle and charming smile appeared on her pure and exquisite face. She spoke in a melodious voice.
"Lord Chris, you arrived here from the East Blue in less than ten minutes."
"May I ask, Lord Chris, how did you manage that? I'm really curious!"
Viola and King Riku both looked at Chris with curiosity on their faces, eager to know the answer.
Chris remained as indifferent as ever, his voice calm as still water, and said, "I ate the Repel-Repel Fruit and developed an ability— Repulsion Space!"
"Using spatial teleportation, it only takes ten minutes to get here."
"Alright, we can talk about it later."
Chris looked at the three of them calmly and said, "Now, give me the map."
Repel-Repel Fruit, Repulsion Space?
The three were once again stunned by what Chris said.
It's incredible that someone can travel through space.
It's simply unbelievable.
At that moment, all three of them felt that the young man in front of them was so powerful and so mysterious.
The way he looked at Chris became increasingly respectful and humble.
This is respect for the strong!
"Lord Chris, please wait a moment."
King Riku quickly stood up, bowed to Chris, and a look of guilt appeared on his weathered face as he hurriedly said something.
"You arrived too quickly, so the map hasn't been brought over yet."
"Please wait a few minutes, I'll come and get it right away."
After saying that, he didn't hesitate for a moment and strode towards the door.
At this point, only three people remained in the room: Viola, Rebecca, and Chris.
Viola looked at Chris, blinked her beautiful eyes, and gave a sweet Gentle smile, saying, "Lord Chris, please have a seat."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Rebecca realized what was happening and quickly smiled sweetly at Chris, saying, "Lord Chris, let's sit down and talk. Don't stand there."
Chris didn't speak, just nodded slightly and walked straight over.
Without a word, Viola quickly pulled out a chair and said with utmost respect and a smile, "Lord Chris, please have a seat."
"Please sit down, no need to be so polite."
Chris waved his hand, his voice calm and even.
"Yes, sir Chris."
Viola and Rebecca nodded quickly and sat down.
This time, Chris spoke first, looking at the two of them and asking directly, "How did you get this map?"
Upon hearing Chris's question, Viola and Rebecca replied in unison, "We..."
The two looked at each other and laughed, finding it very amusing.
One is mature, the other is innocent; both are undeniably stunning beauties.
The visuals are absolutely stunning!!
"Aunt, your thinking is clearer, why don't you talk to Lord Chris?"
Rebecca looked at Viola, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said something with a sweet and gentle smile.
Viola nodded slightly, then turned to Chris, smiling sweetly, and said, "The situation is like this, Lord Chris."
"Eight hundred years ago, our Riku Family became the new Royal Family of Dressrosa."
"After that, this map was passed down through generations and eventually came into the hands of my father."
Viola brushed her long, glossy black hair aside, sighed, and a look of regret appeared on her pretty face as she sighed.
"Unfortunately, this is only a fragment, not the complete one."
"To find the Devil Fruit Tree, we need to find other fragments of the map."
Viola looked at Chris, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and smiled gently, saying, "But I believe that Lord Chris will definitely be able to collect all the maps."
"I have absolute confidence that you can do it."
Rebecca nodded emphatically, hummed in agreement twice, and said with a beaming smile, "That's right, Lord Chris is so capable, he can definitely do it."
"Speaking of which, no one knows what the Devil Fruit Tree looks like yet."
Rebecca's pretty face was filled with longing and anticipation as she murmured, "If I ever have the chance, I really want to see this magical fruit tree."
"That must be a very beautiful and attractive tree."
Chris leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, arms folded in front of him, and calmly said, "If you're interested, I can take you there once we find the Devil Fruit Tree."
Really?!
Viola and Rebecca's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and their pretty faces showed surprise and excitement.
Chris didn't say much, but nodded slightly in response.
"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Mr. Chris."
Without a word, Rebecca immediately clapped her hands, her eyebrows curving into crescent shapes, her smile sweet and charming, and quickly said, "You're such a kind person, thank you so much, hee hee~~"
Viola nodded, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, "No wonder Sister Baccarat gave me special instructions and said some kind words."
"Tell me that although you seem aloof, you are actually very approachable, not like you appear."
"Now it seems that's indeed the case, exactly as Sister Baccarat said."
Knock knock knock...
Just then, there was a knock on the door, which served as a reminder.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and King Riku, holding a black box, strode towards Chris.
"This is something that has been passed down for eight hundred years."
Rebecca, innocent and lively, saw the black box in King Riku's hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her pretty face filled with curiosity.
King Riku stood beside Chris, respectfully placing the box on the desk, and said with utmost humility, "Lord Chris, this is the map you requested."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chris, I have some things to take care of. My daughter and granddaughter will stay here with you for the rest of the time."
Chris remained calm, not even glancing at King Riku, and said indifferently, "Go."
Viola was taken aback, not understanding why King Riku would do such a thing.
Chris was extremely important to them.
Why isn't King Riku staying here to keep you company? What business has he gone out to take care of?
What can compare to Chris right now?
For a moment, Viola was truly stunned, unable to King Riku's actions...
(Hey guys, please help me with auto-subscription! I haven't even asked you guys to set it up, so I'm begging you now. I'm practically begging for auto-subscription! If auto-subscription works, I'll update like crazy, please! o(╥╥)o.)
Chapter 115
Rebecca, being simple-minded, didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you're a very busy person, so please go ahead and do your work."
"With me and my Aunt here, that's enough."
King Riku nodded, gave the two of them a meaningful look, and then a kind smile appeared on his weathered face.
"Alright, you young people chat, I'll go back and get busy."
After saying that, he walked straight to the door without any hesitation.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly closed, King Riku stood in the doorway, his eyes filled with anticipation.
She silently prayed in her heart, thinking, "Viola, Rebecca, you two have to do your best."
"Whichever one of you becomes Chris's woman will be a huge help to the Riku Family."
"Chris is so young, yet so powerful; he's bound to be a big shot in the future."
"To be his woman is your honor, a truly joyous occasion."
King Riku frowned, a resolute look appearing on his old face, and thought to himself, "If Chris is willing, it wouldn't be a problem to have both of them marry him."
"Such a talented young man must be firmly held in our grasp; we absolutely cannot let him slip away."
"If Chris becomes my son-in-law, he will definitely help Dressrosa and bring huge benefits to the country."
"That's right, I must have a good talk with those two later, and make sure they become Chris's women."
King Riku, beaming with joy, strode forward...
Inside the room.
At this moment, Viola had fully realized what was happening, and she finally understood why King Riku had done what he did.
This is an attempt to make her Chris's woman!!
"Father, Father, are you in such a hurry to send your daughter away?"
Viola secretly resented King Riku, saying she had never seen a father act like this, pushing his daughter towards another man.
How could this be?
However, she only complained a little; she wasn't really angry.
She glanced at Chris with her beautiful eyes; she was quite satisfied with this man.
So young, yet so incredibly strong, and so handsome, with a calm and composed personality...
The only downside is that he's too cold and domineering.
However, given Chris's strength, his behavior is understandable.
"Could he really be my soulmate?"
Viola really wanted to put on an OK sign in front of him and peek into Chris's mind.
However, she didn't dare; it was just a thought.
After all, Chris is stronger than Doflamingo, and if he were to spy on him rashly, he would definitely be detected.
That would be a huge problem, and it would definitely make Chris very angry.
"Lord Chris, I'd like to see this map. May I look at it with you?"
At this moment, Rebecca looked at Chris, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her exquisitely fair face filled with anticipation, and she made a request.
Chris was about to open the black box when he calmly said, "Okay."
After saying that, he opened the box and took out the old, rustic map inside.
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Chris."
Rebecca's beautiful eyes lit up, and a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face. She said happily, "I knew it, Mr. Chris, you're the best!"
Without saying a word, he immediately stood up, quickly walked to Chris's side, and was very excited.
Viola smoothed her long, glossy black hair, smiled gently, and said, "I'll take a look too."
"After all, this is a map that has been passed down for over 800 years; it's absolutely rare in the world."
She slowly stood up and walked with graceful and elegant steps to Chris's side.
"Oh, is this the map that points to the Devil Fruit Tree?"
