I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate-Chapter 126: Bell-mère

Feeling Kaos' gentle temperament, there was none of the oppressive aura that other high-ranking figures carried.

At that moment, Genzo felt that this Royal Highness was exactly as the rumors described—a rare leader who truly cared for the people.

Such a person not only helped his village and the surrounding areas escape the frequent pirate raids of the past but also treated people with kindness. Now that he had come to the island, it was no wonder that the village chief wanted to host a feast for the entire village.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Genzo led the way.

After a while—

The scent of oranges filled the air.

...

It was very fragrant.

Looking up—

An orange orchard appeared before them.

Kaos' eyes lit up.

Genzo spoke up. "Your Highness, this is Bell-mère's orange orchard. Her oranges are very sweet, and the marmalade she makes is delicious. You should try some later, Your Highness."

"Alright, since you've said that, I'm looking forward to it."

Kaos nodded immediately.

The orange grove was quiet.

But Genzo immediately called out, "Bell-mère! Are you home? Come out, we have an distinguished guest!"

As soon as he finished shouting—

A voice came from within the orchard. "Who is it? Genzo? That's strange, what kind of esteemed guest would I have here?"

Shortly after—

A figure emerged from the orange grove.

Slender, with gray pupils and a dark red ponytail, wearing a green checkered shirt with "MACE" printed on it, indigo trousers, and brown sandals.

A cigarette hung from her lips, and she had a slightly puzzled look on her face.

Without a doubt, this was Bell-mère—the adoptive mother of Nami and Nojiko.

A former Marine.

After adopting Nami and Nojiko, she returned to her hometown of Cocoyasi Village to grow oranges for a living.

As soon as she stepped out, Bell-mère's eyes landed on Kaos, and she froze for a moment.

As a former Marine, Bell-mère's perception far surpassed that of the average villager. She immediately sensed Kaos' noble presence and the intimidating aura of the two people standing behind him—Zero and Stussy.

All of this made Bell-mère instantly realize that the esteemed guest Genzo mentioned was Kaos.

It was just that—at first glance—Kaos' sunny disposition, gentle smile, and handsome face...

Subconsciously, Bell-mère felt her heart flutter, and a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.

But she quickly regained her composure, instinctively removed the cigarette from her lips, stomped it out, and curiously asked, "Genzo, who are they?"

"Hehe, Bell-mère, you wouldn't know, would you? This is His Highness Kaos. The moment he arrived on the island, he smelled your oranges and wanted to visit your orchard. What an honor!"

"His Royal Highness Kaos?"

There was a bang in Bell-mère's mind, her whole body was shaken, and then she walked over excitedly and asked, "I know you."

"I didn't expect that I would be so famous."

Kaos said with a smile.

His gaze was on the back of Bell-mère.

Behind the orange tree, there were two little girls, one older and one younger, with only their heads exposed, secretly peeking at the situation here.

With a slight movement of the ear, he could hear their conversation.

"Nojiko, look, what a beautiful big brother."

"Stupid Nami, that's not beautiful."

"Not beautiful? Then what do you call it?"

"Handsome."

"Handsome? Nojiko, do you think this big brother seems to be looking at me?"

"I don't think so?"

"There's something wrong with your eyes, Nojiko, it must be. I saw it. This handsome big brother must think Nami is cute and wants to marry Nami."

"I think you're the one with the problem. How old are you? He must be looking for Bell-mère."

"Did he fall in love with Bell-mère? Well, although I finally fell in love with such a handsome guy, if it's Bell-mère, I'm willing to give him to her."

As the elder sister, Nojiko was utterly speechless at her younger sister's words.

But looking at Nami's red face and then touching her own, Nojiko couldn't help but glance in Kaos's direction and murmur, "He really does look good."

As soon as she said that, she vaguely felt Kaos glance in their direction, scaring Nojiko into quickly retracting her gaze and hiding behind the big tree. Her face turned even redder with a hint of embarrassment.

After all, peeping on someone is always an awkward thing, making her feel a little ashamed.

By contrast, at this moment, while talking with Bell-mère, Kaos was also observing the two little girls, a smile playing on his lips.

"That should be Nami and Nojiko?"

As the one who was favored by the Golden Lion in the original story, it must be said that Nami possesses an extremely terrifying talent as a navigator.

At first glance, this talent might seem useful only in this world.

But in reality, someone who can keenly sense wind currents and weather changes has extraordinary aptitude.

It's just that in the current world, there is no proper way to nurture such talent.

However, given the right system, sooner or later, she would become a formidable figure.

Besides, considering her identity and appearance, was worthy of attention—at the very least, she had the value of a beautiful vase, didn't she?

You know, in this world, there are many people who don't even have the value of being a beautiful vase.

"Your Highness Kaos, I read in the newspaper that the Golden Lion is dead. Is it true?"

Bell-mère asked curiously.

After all, Bell-mère had once been a Marine, and though her rank was not very high, she had still been a non-commissioned officer. Deep down, she still upheld the sense of justice in her heart.

It's just because of Nami and Nojiko that she retired and returned to her hometown.

As for a big pirate like the Golden Lion, Bell-mère, who used to be a Marine, naturally heard rumors about him.

Such a big pirate suddenly dying was no less shocking than when ordinary people heard about Roger the Pirate King.

"Of course."

Kaos nodded with a smile and said, "After all, no matter what the Golden Lion was, he was just a pirate. If I don't encounter him, fine. But once I do, as a member of the World Government, how could I let him go?"

His righteous words made Bell-mère appreciate Kaos more and more.

She just felt a little ashamed.

After all, in Bell-mère's eyes, Kaos was so young, but not too young. The thoughts in her mind seemed like an old woman wanting a young man.

Shaking her head to rid herself of those messy thoughts, Bell-mère asked, "Then, may I know why you came to Cocoyasi Village?"

Kaos said, "I just came to East Blue for some business. I happened to come across this island on the way, so I decided to take a stroll."

Although he was interested in Nami, Kaos was not in a hurry.

He had plenty of time.

Besides, he was confident that he could persuade Nami to go with him.

After all, Nami could bring out her full talents only if she was by his side.

"I see."

Bell-mère nodded happily and immediately said, "You are a great person. Since you've come to Cocoyasi Village, I must treat you well. Unfortunately, I don't have anything valuable here, but I do have some orange jam. If you don't mind—"

"Marmalade?"

Kaos showed an interested look. "These oranges smell sweet, so the marmalade must be very good. Of course, I won't dislike it."

"Hehe, it's actually not as good as you say." Bell-mère covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, waving her hands. "Wait a moment, I'll go get you some marmalade."

That big smile.

Genzo, who was watching, was quite depressed.

Obviously, he had said the same thing to Bell-mère before, so why had she never been this happy?

Of course, no one knew what was in his heart.

Otherwise, they would have just told him—people are different.

Handsome guys get treated differently from ordinary people.
