the next morning.

"Nami, are you up?"

A young girl with short blue hair and wheat-colored healthy skin yelled into the room, "There is a lot of snow outside, I will go to the orange grove to have a look, you hurry up and..."

"Yeah~"

Listening to her words, the girl with short orange hair, who was sleeping on the table, half-waking and half-dreaming, responded.

There was no movement outside after a door slamming sound.

After a long while.

12-year-old Nami woke up leisurely, rubbing his eyes and raising his head.

"It's cold..."

She folded her arms and wrapped her thin clothing.

Seeing a snow-white window, she muttered to herself: "Is it snowing... No wonder it's so cold."

After finding a thick and old coat to put on, the whole body became warmer.

The girl Nami walked out of the room with two slices of brown bread on the table.

She opened the door of the house after eating the two slices of brown bread, which was already a bit cold.

The snow outside has stopped, the sky is very clear, the daylight is warm, and you can see a piece of white snow.

The orange trees near this hut have been covered with thick white snow, and the roads and fields in the distance are also completely white.

"What a beautiful snow scene..."

The girl Nami looked at the scenery in front of her, her eyes flashed with nostalgia: "If only I could watch it with Bell-mère..."

It's been two years since the 23rd incident.

Time passed really fast.

I have to grow up quickly, and I must get the money as soon as possible... so that I can save the villagers and save this village!

Nami's eyes gradually became firmer.

But thinking of the huge amount of 100 million Baileys, she couldn't help sighing again.

Sudden

There was a plop.

A large mass of snow fell from the orange trees and melted into the snow underground.

Only then did Nami remember Nuoqigao's advice.

"No, you can't let the snow break the branches of the orange tree."

She hurriedly started to remove the snow from the orange tree to avoid crushing the branches and affecting the next year's harvest.

When she was busy.

Ron, Robin, Conis, and Kung Fu Manatee Xiaoqi had already got off the Voyager that was docked, and came to this quiet and peaceful Cocosia Village, which was covered in snow.

"It's really a peaceful village."

Robin, who is tall, slender, and wearing a white fur coat, looks extremely temperamental. Walking on the snow-covered road, he looks at the hut roads scattered all around with smoke.

"Master, is there really a guy offering a reward of 20 million Baileys here?"

Xiao Qi, wearing a thick red padded jacket and a felt hat, looked at Ron and asked expectantly.

Ron, who had spread Observation Haki covering the entire island, nodded to it, and looked at the tall building near the sea in the distance: "It's over there."

A flash of excitement and expectation flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, and she turned to look at Conis next to her and said, "Can I come this time? Conis sister."

Conis, who was wearing the same white fur coat as Robin, turned his head to look at it and smiled, "The guy who offers 20 million Baileys as a reward, he must be quite strong, Xiao Qi, can you really do it?"

Xiao Qi heard the words and thought for a while and said to her: "Um... I don't know."

"But I really want to fight a powerful guy."

It looked at Ron with black hair and ears next to him, wearing a black hooded fur coat, a black knife hanging from his left waist, and a slender and well-proportioned Ron.

"Master, do you think I can challenge and beat that guy?"

"Probably not."

Ron said casually.

He glanced at Xiao Qi at his feet and smiled: "Now you have not even learned Moonwalk and Haki, and your strength has barely reached 100 kg. If you rush against that guy, your chances of winning are basically zero."

"Is it……"

Xiao Qi was a little depressed.

Robin, who was standing on Ron's left, looked down at his frustrated look and couldn't help but smile.

Conis smiled at it: "That's the same as before, give me the strongest, Xiao Qi, you go and deal with his men."

"Ok."

...

On the field road paved with snow.

Ron and Xiao Qi walked in front.

The two women walked behind.

Some of the villagers from Cocosia Village who met on the face saw them all with a look of suspicion and vigilance. After carefully avoiding the oncoming Ron and others, they immediately hurried away.

This scene made Robin and Conis slightly concerned.

Robin, who was walking beside Ron, turned to look at the few villagers who left quickly, and then looked at Ron beside him and said:

"The villagers in this village don't seem to welcome outsiders."

Ron didn't look back, and said in a calm tone: "It's probably because of the evil dragon pirate group."

"As outsiders, they have unfairly ruled this village. That's why these villagers are wary and hostile to outsiders who will come later."

"Pirates rule the village, this kind of thing... Doesn't Marine take care of it?"

Conis frowned slightly.

"There are also many scum in Marine."

Ron's plain words made both Robin and Conis lost in thought.

Xiao Qi, who is practicing boxing while walking, doesn't want complicated things at all. It only needs to consider how to become stronger.

When a few people walked to the outskirts of Cocosia Village.

An orange orchard covered with snow appeared in front of him.

In the park, an able girl with short blue hair and wheat-skinned skin was wearing an old cotton-padded coat that was not too thick, holding a tool and working hard to get the snow down from the orange tree.

It seems that I have been doing it for a while, sweat is coming out of my forehead, but it seems that it is still a long way from removing the snow from each orange tree.

"Why do you want to get the snow down?"

Conis looked at the girl who looked about her and Ron's age and was curious about her behavior.

Robin said, "I think it is to prevent the snow from breaking the branches of the orange tree."

"I see."

Conis looked dazed.

Ron recognized the girl with short blue hair, who should be the sister of Navigator Nami, one of the protagonists of the original book, Nuojigo.

She is a strong girl with personality and rationality.

It should be her and Nami who depend on each other now... It seems to be very hard.

Ron thought, putting his left hand lightly on the hilt of the black knife on his waist and pulling out an inch.

There was a sudden gust of wind in this orange orchard.

The snow on the orange trees was like dust on a wooden frame, which was blown away in an instant and drifted across the sky.

Nuoqigao was unable to open his eyes by the sudden wind, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was full of snowflakes, and the snow on the orange trees had disappeared, so there was no need to worry about being crushed and broken branches.

She blinked blankly.

Eh?

what happened?

An inch of black knife came out from Ron's waist and returned silently.

Robin looked at the dark-haired boy next to him with a calm side face that seemed to have nothing happened, and smiled.

After Nuoqigao stood there for a while, he suddenly found a few people standing outside the orange grove not far away.

Seeing the figures and clothes of those people, Nuoqi Gao judged that they had come from outside.

After all, no one in this Cocosia Murakami can afford to wear such an expensive and brand-new fur coat...

"Guests from outside, what can I do?"

Nuoqi Gao asked Ron and the others, "As for oranges, there is no such thing in this season."

"We are not here to buy oranges."

Standing between the beautiful blond girl and the tall black-haired beauty, the black-haired teenager with a black knife on his waist looked at Nuoqi with a high smile.

"We are travelers. We plan to spend this winter on this island. Now we want to find a place to live."

Nuoqigao was startled when he heard the words: "If you live in a place, you should go to the village, this is the outskirts..."

But before she could finish her words, the next sentence of the black-haired boy with a smile on his face and eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts made her feel a sudden shock.

"If you can provide us with a place to live, we can pay 10,000 Baileys a day.".
