Little Miss Fortune Hina

The two groups gradually gathered and merged, and at the forefront, naturally, was Commodore Adkin and General Louis. They gave him an introduction to the land and the location of the treaty.

Following behind the two was Longinus, who was carefully observing everything around his memory when suddenly a sneaky figure merged into the crowd and pushed his way over.

"Longinus-san, Hina misses you so much!" Hina wraps her arms skillfully around Longinus' left arm and tilts her head.

Sensing a large number of rapidly burning gazes gathering behind him, Longinus was helpless, and his Kenbunshoku Haki could even distinguish those gossipy and curious gazes from his colleagues, and those angry and jealous gazes originating from those nobles in the kingdom of Hisca.

Longinus' helplessness wasn't because he was afraid of trouble. He didn't think that some minor nobles could cause him any problem, the future of this kingdom just saddened him, and that loli controlling power had spread to the upper class of this kingdom?

Sensing the movement behind him, Commodore Adkin turned back with a strange glint in his eyes and asked, "You're Hina, aren't you? I've long heard that there is a little girl who will often come to our marine base and even bring many gifts to the soldiers every time she comes, and I've heard many of them refer to you as a little angel on their own!"

Hina wasn't shy and said with a standard salute, "Sir Commodore, these are the things I should have done."

At that moment, Louis also turned around and cast his "stern" eyes on Longinus.

"Get mad, get mad!" The nobles of the Hisca Kingdom laughed wildly in their hearts as they waited for the moment when that Marine would be doomed.

Who knew that, in the disbelief of those nobles' eyes, that unsmiling serious daughter-controller went forward and hugged Longinus with a loud laugh: "Hahaha! Longinus old boy, finally seeing you again, I've always known you'd find a place of your own in the Marines."

"Uncle Louis, it has indeed been a long time, and you are looking much better again than last time." Longinus smiled.

Those nobles with dark thoughts in their hearts feel shattered three times. What is this? Is the difference in treatment so noticeable?

Although they were resentful, they didn't dare to speak out, one of the two big men was a Commodore of the Marine, and the other was General of the Kingdom, and neither was someone they could mess.

A few people quickly became familiar and chatted. After entering the royal city, Hina leaned in and whispered into Longinus' ear, "Longinus-san, you've come at the right time. Our kingdom's unique food festival is very famous in the whole of Sentinel Island. it just so happens that it started yesterday, gathering the exceptional food of the surrounding kingdoms, Hina will take you to taste it later! "

"I think it's you who wants to go eat it!" Longinus petulantly smiled as he held it to her head.

"Hehehe, it's both!"

"But would Uncle Louis agree? He doesn't have time to keep an eye on you right now."

"Don't worry! As long as it's Longinus-san you are talking about, Dad would agree."

After that, Hina ran forward and grabbed General Louis' arm and shook it gently, "Dad, Hina wants to go to that special food festival later, Hina's been looking forward to that for a long time."

Louis frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "That place is too far away from the King City, and I can't get away now, so if there is the danger..."

"Longinus-san will be coming with Hina, Dad. Don't you know what Longinus-san is capable of?"

"Young Longinus is indeed very reliable, and I can rest easy with him around, but..." said Louis with a rugged look to the side.

Commodore Adkin was very "well understood" and said: "Longinus, you just have fun with the little girl, just remember to come back before the treaty starts."

Seeing that he was just sold out, Longinus said speechless, "Okay, I get it."

...

Hina's statement wasn't an exaggeration. The festival did bring together the specialties of the various kingdoms on Sandy Island, such as the scorpion roast of Alabasta, which has a unique flavor.

"Well! Hina's so happy! After all these years of looking forward, Hina was finally going to be able to eat the food from the festival, but my dad used to do a bunch of things at this time of year and never felt comfortable letting me out alone."

"With Uncle Louis's personality, it's difficult enough to let you out." Longinus was also tasting the various delicacies. While he would not indulge in pleasure, the pursuit of good things had always been human nature, and he wasn't willing to erase his character by force to be an ascetic.

"That's true." Hina nodded in deep sympathy and then asked curiously, "By the way, Longinus-san, the newspaper a few days ago, reported again about your deed of exchanging your life for hostages. Can you tell me more about it? Hina would love to know."

"You know my strength, it's too exaggerated to talk about risking your life but those pirates..." seeing that Hina was still staring at him with stubborn and determined eyes, Longinus had to hold up his hands to surrender, "Okay, okay, here's what happened basically..."

After some illustrated description, Hina's eyes twinkled with little stars, and even the roast in her hands became cold and stiff because she forgot to taste it, "Hina is so jealous! Hina wish could hurry up and become a guardian of justice in the Marines like Longinus-san, but unfortunately, Dad has made it a rule that Hina has to be at least 16 years old to join the Marines."

"Oops!" Hina, who was dreaming about it, stumbled and nearly fell over when an unkempt, messy child hit her.

It's good that she has some physical foundation, even if it's sudden, she can quickly stabilize herself, after fixed her mind, see that the guy who caused the accident has disappeared in the small alleys, only then she stomped her foot and said: "That little beggar is rude!"

It wasn't that she didn't think they were filthy, it was just that it was so humiliating to be embarrassed in front of the idolized Longinus!

On the other hand, Longinus said with a slightly glazed look, " Is there anything missing from yourselves? There was just a flicker of fluctuation that seemed to be... the smell of a Devil Fruit!"

"Devil's Fruit? How is that possible?" Hina stared at him, unable to make the connection between the dirty little beggar and the Devil Fruit worth over a hundred million berries, but out of absolute trust in Longinus, she quickly checked it out.

"Damn it! All the coins Hina brought out to accommodate you that thief stole today!"

"Just lost some pocket money? That's okay." Longinus said with relief.

"It's only 30 million berries, but that fellow hit Hina, and stealing my money. Hina will have to settle this score with him!" Hina ground her little tiger teeth in anger.

"Ahem..." Longinus nearly choked on his spit, as if he knew Hina for the first time, and asked, "How much Berry did you say?"

"30 million berries! Don't mind Longinus-san, it's just my allowance for the month, and Hina mostly can't handle it."

Longinus had not cared much about this, with the pirates he had captured in the past two years, the bounty amount added up to more than three hundred million. However, the Marine could not give him the bounty as it was given to the bounty hunters. Still, the prize money's cumulative amount over and over again was nearly one hundred million berries.

It was just that he couldn't do it as quickly as Hina casually took out thirty million berries for change.

So he's just an idiot in the eyes of the nobility!
