Today, there were still eight or nine days before the merchant ships came to buy oranges. A few days was not a long time. As long as the villagers of Kekeyaxi Village saved some money, they could survive until the arrival of the merchant ship.
When the merchant ships arrived, they would sell the ripe oranges and the villagers would have money again. This was the only source of income for Kekeyaxi Village. Although they couldn't live well, they could still survive by planting orange trees.
To be able to live peacefully every day without the harm of pirates and war, the villagers of Kekeyaxi Village were already very happy in One Piece's world.
Even so, some people's hearts were not satisfied. It was the same for Belmair.
He loved his two adopted daughters and treated them as his own. When he was in the navy, he went to crusade against pirates and was completely annihilated. Belmair, who survived, committed suicide. It was also his two adopted daughters who gave Belmair the idea of surviving.
Belmair's orange trees didn't have a good harvest. The money he earned from selling oranges last month had been spent a few days ago.
For the past few days, Belmair and his two adopted daughters had been eating simple meals without meat. Belmair was an adult, so it didn't matter if he didn't eat meat. However, the two adopted daughters were still growing. How could they grow into beautiful girls without eating meat?
The single dog from the same village, Ah Jian, knew about the situation of the Bellmaier family and wanted to help them. The stubborn Bellmaier did not accept it.
One of the reasons was that Ah Jian liked her. Belmaire knew that, but he only wanted to take care of his two adopted daughters now. He didn't want to find a foster father for them.
The second reason was his personality. Belmair's stubborn personality prevented her from accepting charity. She could raise her two adopted daughters by herself.
Therefore, today, Belmair once again rejected Jian's subtle attempt to give him money. After finishing the coarse food with his two adopted daughters, he picked up the fishing net and harpoon to catch a big fish at the beach to feed his two adopted daughters.
"Hahaha, don't worry. Nocko, Nami, you will definitely have delicious fish tonight."”
"Yes! Yay!"
Nocko and Nami jumped up and down happily. They didn't doubt Belmair's words. They were already looking forward to the delicious fish for dinner.
They set off from morning to evening. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Belmaire sat on a two-meter long and half-meter wide boat.
He looked at the small wooden bucket beside him unwillingly. There were only two or three finger-long fish in it. He still remembered his bold words before he set off. If he asked Belmair to bring back only a few small fish, wouldn't he disappoint his two adopted daughters?
Moreover, these small fish were not delicious at all. The fish meat was dry and had a fishy smell, so Bellmayer could not take it back.
"Damn it, I don't believe I can't catch a big fish.”
With a plop, Belmair angrily released the few eye-catching fish and swam in another direction with the boat, gradually getting further and further away from the island.
Half of the dim sun sank into the sea, leaving behind a mooncake that was half-eaten. It was barely able to shine on the world.
Bellmayer was in despair. He didn't even plant orange trees. He wanted to catch a big fish in a field that he wasn't good at. As expected, Belmair had been thinking too much from the start.
Frustrated and bitter, Belmair accepted the cruel reality and sighed as he pushed the boat back.
At this moment, there was a loud sound of water behind him, and waves splashed everywhere.
Belmaire's expression changed. He turned around in confusion and immediately shouted in horror,"There's a big fish!" He hurriedly rowed the boat and hurried back.
Wouldn't it be good if a big fish appeared? Didn't Bellmayer want to catch a big fish?
The big fish that Belmaire wanted to catch were difficult to catch even if they were half a meter or a meter long. However, at a glance, the fish that appeared behind him was nearly three meters long, and its total length was estimated to be about five meters.
This was not a big fish, but a fish king. It was only slightly inferior to the King of the Inshore Sea and had the potential to evolve into a sea king.
"Quick, row quickly. Nocko and Nami are still waiting for me to return.”
Facing the ferocious gaze of the King Fish behind him, it was ready to pounce at any moment. Bellmel gritted his teeth and struggled to survive. While rowing the boat, he threw the fishing net back to entangle the fish king. It was good to buy some time.
Luckily, Belmair was not too far away from the island. Because he was once a navy officer, his body was not that weak. When the fish king bit the back of the boat into pieces, Belmair rolled and crawled, and finally came ashore in a sorry state.
When the King Fish saw Belmair escape to the shore, it also jumped onto the shore with red eyes. Belmair shouted in alarm and frantically hid, but he finally managed to survive.
The King Fish was still a fish, and it couldn't live without water. When they came to the shore, the inflexible fish could not reach Bellmeyer, and it felt like it was going to suffocate to death. It could only jump back unwillingly and return to the sea.
Belmaire saw the King Fish retreat and collapsed on the ground, panting. The thin plaid shirt and trousers on her body were soaked by the sea water. The faint spring light appeared, and the small clothes underneath revealed their original shape.
Moreover, because he was so focused on escaping, he didn't even notice that his shoes had fallen off. Her feet were not as sparkling as white jade. They were just pale white spots, but they looked healthy and pleasing to the eye. The slightly bulging flesh under her feet was petite but revealed a strong aura, giving off a different kind of charm.
"What a pity. This King Fish must be very delicious.”
Now that his life was no longer in danger, Belmaire saw the fish king struggling to get back into the sea and thought of how delicious it was.
Belmair thought of his two adopted daughters who were still waiting at home for a big meal. He mustered up his courage and stood up. He slowly approached the fish king in fear.
Belmair was thinking of a way to make the King Fish stay. It was a good opportunity.
In the end, Belmair gave up. His face was filled with unwillingness. He could only watch as the Fish King left.
The harpoon fell into the water while she was escaping. She was not a navy officer, so she did not have a gun. She was just a woman who was not delicate. How could Belmaire keep the King Fish? It was impossible.
Belmair's expression was getting darker and darker. He saw that the fish king would jump back into the sea and accept reality.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
"Aiya, what a big fish. There's a feast tonight.”
Bellmayer was stunned and turned around. He was like a hedgehog, with long hair that reached his waist, a delicate and cold face, eyes like black pearls, and a spirited gaze. He was less than 1.5 meters tall.
He was clearly still a child, but his body under the red short-sleeved shirt and pants gave off a strong feeling.
Oh, right, there was an inconspicuous straw hat buried in her messy hair.
Belmaire was puzzled. He believed that everyone who had seen it would be puzzled. How did this straw hat fit on?
