South Blue, Sorbet Kingdom;
Just like any place that has an art store on its territory, it's impossible to be a quiet place without the noise and enthusiastic screams of otakus from time to time, especially, while manga volumes are out or anime episodes air.
This applies to the small Sorbet kingdom as well.
Before the emergence of the art store, this kingdom was very quiet, the majority of people here love to read and learn, like Ohara, there is a great library in the middle of this kingdom that anyone can enter and choose a book to read. The only difference between it and Ohara is that the people here didn't focus on the historical books, so, for this, they didn't get any repression from the world government.
Rather, they loved reading about civilizations and understanding their traditions and customs, as well as understanding other races, and reading about their world and theories accumulated throughout history about the origin and emergence of the world and a lot about science, literature, geography, chemistry and different languages
throughout history... almost everything, except for anything concerning the void century because this was taboo.
The Sorbet kingdom was and still is a kingdom of knowledge and culture par excellence, where the sophistication of the ideas of their people can be seen in any place and any situation, although they are considered a medium kingdom in terms of decent living, but in terms of thought, the people in this kingdom may be the richest.
And the best proof of this is that the most intelligent scientist in history came from this kingdom!
Yes, the famous Doctor Vegapunk was born and raised in the Sorbet Kingdom before he moved to the World Government.
But Vegapunk wasn't the only genius to come out from this kingdom, many other geniuses hide themselves well from the world government.
One of them has already a 'long' former history with the world government, but she's currently hiding herself well in the kingdom where she was born long ago.
The second is the current young King of this country himself, Bartholomew Kuma!
Yes, the Shichibukai of the future is a very smart person, even if he is not at Vegapunk level, he is very intelligent and even tough on himself, he can do anything to reach his target even if the steps to reach his target are based on his death!
Since the advent of the art store and the so-called One Piece manga, King Kuma has felt an unnatural attraction to it since reading the first chapter on the day Rob visited the Sorbet Kingdom two years ago and organized a banquet for him.
[Flashback start:
Two years ago, Sorbet Kingdom;
Rob arrived at this place after painstakingly searching for it.
Rob was racing against time on that horrific week to create art stores on many islands including the Sorbet Kingdom due to the notice that Imu had read his manga.
...
"Rob san, can you show me what kind of art you sell?"
Rob had no problem meeting the king of this kingdom, even though he was impressed by how calm this place was as he reminded him a bit of Ohara, many people here with at least one book in their hands.
"Sure! Here."
Rob took the first volume of One Piece out of his inventory and handed it over to Kuma, who cared less about being able to get something out of nowhere than the book itself.
The first thing that caught Kuma's attention when holding the book in his hand was how soft and light the book was, yet he found it impossible to even scratch it let alone tear it.
This was very interesting, what if all the books that have been found in history had this feature!
Just thinking about it made his adrenaline rush through, but only a small smile was reflected on his face.
He would surely ask Rob how to make books indestructible, if all books from the first book in history to the last one were indestructible, how wonderful would that be for the world?
How many valuable books could he not read just because they couldn't stand the erosion of time and disappeared before reaching his era? Even something like a void century wouldn't exist at that time...
Well, Kuma got out of his thoughts and focused on the contents of the cover before opening it. The cover was interesting too, with a big title of 'One Piece' and a group of kids led by a boy with a straw hat and a laughing face.
This was the first time he had seen such an impressive cover, but after he opened the first page of the book his pupils dilated under the glasses, isn't that Gold Roger! Pirate King? How that? Executed? The beginning of the great pirate era? Are they not in the era of the great sea calendar now? This wasn't a book composed only of words, but a pictures story illustrated to the smallest detail.
Young Kuma liked the details so much that he didn't miss a thing on the page before turning to the next page, it seemed like he could hear the voices of people talking to each other in the manga and could see their movements!
Everything seemed so surreal to him that he didn't feel the flow of time.
All this while Rob is watching him carefully, Rob can sense how excited he is even though Kuma hasn't made any reaction or expression on his face since he started reading manga.
This was certainly impressive, as expected from one of the pivot characters in One Piece.
After Kuma finished reading the first volume, he felt unwilling to close it, as if he wanted to read more.
"This is definitely the most interesting thing I've ever read. It's really a new kind of art as you said Rob San. You're welcome in my kingdom to do whatever you want from now on as long as you publish more books like this."
"I just want a permit to open my art store here and you and your people can read One Piece every week."
"I will definitely give you any permit you want and I also can help you build your store in a short period to expedite its opening for work."
"You don't have to worry about that—"
"Main maid!"
"Here I, your majesty!"
Rob's eyes widened in shock when he saw the maid... This is definitely not any ordinary maid, but another pivot character in One Piece!
"Prepare a welcome feast to celebrate our honor guest, Rob San, and let everyone know about it."
"Understood, Your Majesty." The maid noticed the handsome man's eyes widened when he saw her but she didn't care much, maybe he just admired her beauty, right?
...
..
Flashback end]
Right now, after exactly 12 volumes of the One Piece manga series, no matter how hard he tried to describe his feelings for this serial book, he wouldn't really be able to express all of them.
Before that, he originally couldn't express his feelings well, but with the entry of One Piece into his life, this situation changed a little and his face regained the ability to laugh, smile, and express, all thanks to One Piece!
Now, the young Kuma on every move wears the same famous bear hat and holds a book in hand like in the original story, but this time the book he's holding is the last volume of One Piece.
He madly loved this book!
And the second book to his heart is Bleach. Certainly, also he can't describe his feelings for this book no matter how hard he tries, all he can say about it is... greatness upon greatness!
He's been reading about a different world in all its detail for the past couple of years, as Bleach has made up for a little imperfection in his heart after One Piece stopped updating for an entire year.
Let's not talk about anime shows, because in this new art only the screams and laughter of his people every time the screen is lit can express everything, to sum up, everything about their feelings about it. This doesn't mean that he didn't like it, quite the contrary, just thinking about AOT... Rainer and Berthold turning into titans and trying to kidnap Eren make his blood boil from shock until now. and Chrollo Lucifer's fight against the Zoldyck's heads at HXH. Itachi and Kisame scene fighting Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakachi. and Might Guy who gets in the end... How awesome is all of that? Let's not even talk about his favorite anime, One Piece! Week after week he was seeing the world differently.
Kuma got out of his thoughts and went back to the manga page where Chopper was talking about the diving disease. He knew very well what diving disease was because he had read many books about diseases, he was no less knowledgeable than Kureha in this regard but he was certainly no more skilled than her practice as a doctor. just as Chopper described it, the diving disease is formed by the build-up of CO2 bubbles in the body. Before that, he had seen the story of Noland the liar, which was relatively famous to the point that it reached South Blue, and got to know it long before the manga came out.
Kuma has always loved details in One Piece, and not only in the One Piece manga but also in Bleach.
This is what made the manga special sweetness that makes it distinct from any other kind of art, even anime.
An art which can very well remain eternal! may not die!
"Hmm! Does sky island really exist, if it does I'll definitely want to go to it?"
"It exists already, Kuma-chan."
Kuma looked up from the manga book and saw the pink-haired maid woman, she looked like an extremely beautiful milf in maid's clothes.
Suddenly, she turned into a little girl of 10 years old and sat on the leg of Kuma who was sitting on the throne.
This is how she became closer to the open book of manga in Kuma's hands.
"Sky Island, they will definitely go to it… but you have to see the next pages, you will definitely see something interesting! This habit of reading the volume too slowly may make you get spoil events by a random person hehe, most people are already finished with today's volume."
"What are you doing here Connie, you know I hate having someone bother my precious manga time?"
"Huh, so boring, did you get so used to my role as your maid that you forgot who I really am?"
==============================
...
..
Cricket: The Mont Blanc family fled that kingdom, but the people's mockery and derision continue... However, no member of the Mont Blanc family has ever been enraged of Noland...
Luffy: Why?
Cricket: Because, Noland, was an honest, wonderful man.
Luffy: What?
Cricket: In the last scene of the pictures book, Noland said, "Ah, I found her! The mountain of gold must have sunk under the water!"
Straw hats:...
Cricket: The picture on the book with a stupid smile on his face. but I think the man died with tears in his eyes. He was quite certain that the island on which they had landed was the same as Jaya, where the wreck of the Gold City had been discovered.
Cricket: The thought that he might have had illusions he had never thought of. Noland claimed that the Gold City had been hit by an earthquake causing it to sink to the ocean floor, but people took it as a desperate excuse to save his life, and the crowd continued to mock him until the last moment of his execution.
...
..
==============================
"Noland huh, I can vaguely remember someone like that back then, really pathetic, the world government especially hates people trying to dig into the past."
"I don't know what happened to the World Government now, whether did they become dumb? or went crazy? But it is not their custom to allow such a book to exist."
The childlike woman that Kuma named 'Connie' referred to the One Piece manga, but this time Kuma wasn't angry of her for interrupting his reading time.
Because she said something worth it.
"This Rob... I wonder if he knows about me too, on that day two years ago his pupils dilated partially when he saw me, so I was a little confident that he knew me. but as the facts he knew kept coming up in the manga, I was sure he knew me well."
"That is why I didn't dare to appear before him and try my luck with him, even though he was famous for his love of maids women, huh, he named them as waitresses goddesses, right?"
"Hahahaha, I can be the best maid for a perverted man like him, but he is not any perverted man… He is an unknown, foreign, and misplaced beast… Just thinking about him makes me terrified… What kind of being is that person, It's totally incomprehensible! His existence is totally incomprehensible!"
"How does he know all that!"
The voice of a little girl continued to echo within the royal hall while Kuma listened to all of it silently.
