Dressrosa Kingdom, Sunflower Field.
On top of a vast mountain with a flat peak, golden sunflower plants were planted, forming a sea of flowers. The golden sunflowers bloomed under the bright blue sky, making this sea of flowers seem to be bathed in the beauty of a sunset. The sea of flowers swayed when the wind blew, and its fragrance was refreshing.
Under a large tree so lush that it would take three people to circle it, Scarlet, in a white dress, was kneeling on a pink picnic blanket. Across from her, stood a man who was only a little more than twenty centimeters tall, with a white beard and hair, and holding a bamboo stick. He was the head of the Tontatta clan, King Gancho.
On the picnic blanket, there were also several stacks of snacks, a teapot, and two teacups. The two of them were chatting while tasting snacks and black tea.
Under the Sunflower Field, there was a Lilliput garrison, and it also had a tunnel leading to Green Bit, the Tontatta Kingdom, a secluded island north of Dressrosa. A long time ago, there was a large and spacious bridge between Dressrosa and Green Bit. Two hundred years ago, due to some special reasons, a mob of ferocious Siamese fighting fish began to attack pedestrians passing the bridge, and destroyed the bridge, causing the two islands to lose contact.
However, it took years for the Tontatta Tribe to dig it again and set up an exit in the Sunflower Field. So, Scarlet and Gancho chose to meet here.
"Then follow what you said, Princess Scarlet! We, the Tontatta, will keep our promise," Gancho nodded slightly.
"Hmm! Alright!" Scarlet smiled.
After discussing the matter, Gancho quickly sank himself among the flowers and disappeared.
WHOOSH!
A flash of red light, a Spatial Folding Door opened, and Sephiroth and Violet walked out of the door. They happened to see Scarlet sitting under the big tree, not far from them.
"Huh!? Didn't you say your sister went to take care of armament affairs?"
With a suspicious expression on his face, Sephiroth looked at the brown-haired girl who was still holding his arm. He suspected that the girl had lied to be able to accompany him shopping.
"My sister told me. If you don't believe me, ask her!" Violet pouted, and she seemed a little unhappy with the silver-haired youth's question.
"Why did you two suddenly come here?" Scarlet, with a puzzled look on her face, looked at the two people who were sitting on the pink picnic blanket.
"Initially, I wanted to come to you first, but Violet said you would be dealing with the armory. Then, I went shopping with her for a while," Sephiroth told the truth.
"That's it!" Scarlet nodded slightly and explained, "I was indeed dealing with the armory. A while ago, the Tontatta took a number of weapons and materials from the factory, causing an error in the accounting. So, I asked King Gancho to come and talk today, and I hope they don't go and take things from the armory again. If they need weapons and materials, send me a letter."
"I hear you, is it not good if you spoil the Tontatta Tribe like this? What if they are spoiled by pleasure in the future?" Sephiroth unbuckled the three long swords at his waist, and from the dinner basket next to the picnic blanket, he took out two teacups, grabbed the teapot, and poured a cup of black tea for him and Violet each.
Scarlet took the delicate teacup and took a sip of black tea before explaining, "I feel very calm about this. The Tontatta people are kind-hearted by nature, and they also have their own set of rules. They usually only take necessary supplies, and in return, they have planted flowers and plants for the Dressrosa Kingdom, making the air here full of flower fragrance. The kingdom gives them a certain amount of salary, and it's only right. Given that Dressrosa is now thriving, I also made an agreement with King Gancho. If they need more valuable items, they can send someone to consult with me. As long as it's not too much, I will agree, and they will try not to take any more items from outsiders."
"Oh, I see!" Sephiroth nodded in understanding and didn't continue to discuss the matter. After all, this was Dressrosa's internal affair, and he wasn't good at forcing his intervention.
"Right! This sword is for you!" While talking, Sephiroth took the Shusui on the ground and handed it to Scarlet, who suddenly had a puzzled expression on her face.
"Why are you giving me the black sword Shusui...?"
"I've replaced my sword, and this sword doesn't suit me, so I'll give it to you. Since it has been trained as a black sword, it is considered superior in terms of quality among the great Wazamono. In addition, its use reduces the consumption of Armament Haki and reduces the difficulty of creating a sword slash."
"Thank you!" Upon hearing this, Scarlet, after grabbing the Shusui, kissed Sephiroth on the cheek.
"That's not enough! Kiss here too." Sephiroth laughed evilly, raised his right index finger, and pointed to his lips. The two had been together for four years, and had long lost their sense of shame. Scarlet didn't hesitate, she immediately kissed him on the lips. When she wanted to pull away, Sephiroth smiled mischievously, and instead of letting her go, he held her cheeks with both hands.
Sitting next to them, Violet, with a calm expression on her face, raised her teacup, took a sip of black tea, and stared silently at the two who were entangled. She had long been accustomed to the little scenes between the two. In fact, she sometimes used her Giro-Giro no Mi ability to peek into her sister's room.
After a while, the two were hugging, their backs leaning against the big tree, and looking out at the sea of golden sunflowers.
"Ha~!" Violet, who looked sleepy, yawned a little, and fell with her long head into the silver-haired youth's arms, resting on his lap.
Don't you feel confused? Looking at the brown-haired girl lying on his lap, Sephiroth couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Sephiroth, give me a child, okay?" Scarlet suddenly lifted her head and looked at him with hope in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Sephiroth shook his head gently and directly refused, "Sorry! Now is not the time. I'm not ready yet, let's wait until everything is settled!" Over the years, Sephiroth had been using the Kyuketsu-Kyuketsu no Mi ability to extract life force from fluids in order not to have children for himself. If not, in his situation, it was estimated that a soccer team could be formed!
His current situation was full of variables, the number of potential enemies was too many, and once he had descendants, he would have a long-term weakness. His own women, he could make them stronger quickly and have basic self-defense abilities by giving them Devil Fruits.
But, for children, Sephiroth did not feel that he could create a completely safe environment to protect them. After all, a man as strong as Admiral Zephyr, his wife and son could be brutally killed by pirates who found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. In addition, if his own heir was a character like Luffy, Sephiroth would think he didn't want it! There was a disobedient brat who made trouble for himself every day, and it hurt him to think about it!
All in all, maybe ten years from now, twenty years from now, there was a possibility that he would have a baby, but now, forget it!
