The seven or eight thugs ran away, and even those who had been eyeing the girl's bread were scared off by Ryuen and the others.
"Little girl, what's your name? How old are you?" Ryuen asked with a sunny smile, hands in his pockets.
"Little girl, are you okay?" Nojiko started checking the girl for injuries.
"I have medicine, let's bandage you up!" Nami took out bandages and medicine from her backpack.
"No... no need... I'm fine~" The girl was overwhelmed by their kindness and shyly lowered her head.
But Nojiko and Nami didn't listen to her, they took the girl to the mountains and bandaged her wounds. After that, Nami gave her a new dress to wear.
"My... my name is Daisy, I'm twelve years old. Thank you for saving me~" Daisy said sweetly, still not used to being treated so well.
"So your name is Daisy, what a nice name~"
"What? You're twelve years old?"
"Wow... you're actually older than Nami and me..."
Ryuen was a bit stunned. He thought Daisy was a little sister, but she was the same age as Nojiko, an older sister!
But Ryuen quickly understood, it was because she was hungry. A year ago, Nami and Nojiko were also very thin until Ryuen came, and Bellemere's family meals gradually improved, and Nami and Nojiko started to grow.
"But you... you look so small..." Nami looked at Daisy, not knowing what to say. The three of them were taller than Daisy.
At that moment, Daisy's stomach made a happy sound, and her delicate face turned as red as an apple.
"I... I haven't had food for many days..."
Daisy's voice was as soft as a mosquito, feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking she didn't deserve to stand with the kids in front of her.
But Nami had already started taking out delicious food, and the aroma made Daisy swallow her saliva.
Ryuen and the others couldn't help but laugh at Daisy's reaction.
"Eat up, Daisy, we have plenty of food..." Nami said sweetly to Daisy. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
"Are... are all these for me?..." Daisy was at a loss, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.
"Yes, all for you!" Nami said firmly.
"Too... too much, I can't take it..."
"No, you must eat it all, or we'll sell you to the slave traders!" Ryuen said, pretending to be fierce.
"Ah!!! No! I'll eat! I'll eat right away!" Daisy was so scared that she quickly agreed. Oh no! How scary, he wants to sell me!
Under the watchful eyes of Ryuen and the others, Daisy started to gobble up the food, quickly finishing everything in front of her.
As she ate, tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks. The food was so delicious. Soon, Daisy had eaten everything clean, but Ryuen and the others felt she still hadn't had enough.
Then, Ryuen and the others started chatting with Daisy. Gradually, Daisy seemed to trust them a bit, and they learned about Daisy's background.
Four years ago, Daisy's entire family was persecuted by the nobles, leaving her as the only survivor. She had been wandering for four years since then.
"Hey Ryuen, Nami, why don't we take Daisy back to Cocoyasi Village?" Nojiko felt sorry for Daisy.
Nami immediately agreed. She liked this shy girl. Then Nojiko and Nami looked at Ryuen, as Bellemere had said they should listen to Ryuen when they were out.
"Alright, I agree too~" Ryuen smiled.
"I knew you'd agree!"
Nami and Nojiko were very happy, each hugging one of Ryuen's arms, while Daisy was confused. Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?
However, Daisy's thoughts soon turned to the delicious food Nami had. There was just too much good food!
They walked to a secluded place in the mountains, and Nami took out a map she bought today on Clover Island. Clover Island was big, with several countries on it.
So here you can buy sea charts of several islands near Clover Island, including Foosha Village and Dawn Island where the Goa Kingdom is located, as well as the island where Shimotsuki Village Village is.
Clover Island's surrounding sea area.
"Wow... Nami is a navigator!" Daisy was very surprised. Nami was so young but already knew so much and had been out to sea several times!
"Hehe, it's just okay, keep it low-key." Little Nami said this, but her face was full of pride. Ryuen and Nojiko rolled their eyes at Nami's smug look.
"Ryuen, are we going now? It's not very close to Shimotsuki Village Village. If we leave now, we'll arrive at night." Little Nami ignored their eye rolls and stated her judgment.
For a moment, the three girls looked at Ryuen.
"Let's go, it's fine at night, we won't have trouble finding a place to stay." Ryuen decided immediately.
"Alright, let's go!" Nami put away the sea chart.
"Ah! A monster!" Suddenly, Daisy screamed in fear!
"Daisy, don't be afraid, it's Ryuen's Devil Fruit power, he ate a Devil Fruit!" Nojiko quickly comforted Daisy.
"Daisy, I'm a phoenix! How do I look like a monster?" Ryuen said with a big grin.
"Uh(⊙o⊙)..." Daisy was confused again. Devil Fruit? What's that? A fruit that can turn you into a monster? That's too scary!
"Alright Ryuen, Daisy hasn't heard of it, let's go." Nami jumped onto Ryuen's back first.
Ryuen didn't wait for Daisy to hesitate, he grabbed her with his wings and put her on his back. Nojiko also jumped on.
"Hold on tight, I'm flying!" With that, Ryuen took off into the sky!
And of course, Daisy's scream echoed through the sky!
Nami's calculation was right. When the four kids arrived at Shimotsuki Village Village, the sun had just set, and the whole island was covered in frost.
"Ryuen, where's the expert you mentioned~~~"
"We'll see him tomorrow, hehe~"
