*****

Wapol actually had anorexia?!!

This surprised Suzuki.

That tyrannical king of Drum Island who only knew how to eat in the future actually did not even eat the Devil Fruit that was delivered to him?

"Let me tell you, young man, there's also that village in the north."

"..."

The innkeeper was still talking excitedly. Suzuki did not interrupt his chatter.

He temporarily put aside his other thoughts. His expression was calm, and he patiently waited for the innkeeper to finish speaking.

"Also, that. Cough cough."

The innkeeper had been talking for almost half an hour. Perhaps his throat was dry. Suzuki looked at the water cup in his hand and handed it to the innkeeper again. He smiled and said,

"Boss, have a drink of water."

The innkeeper showed an embarrassed expression. He scratched his head with his right hand and smiled awkwardly:

"Ah, hahaha, look at me. Sigh, thank you, no need, no need. I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. I'll go and pour myself a cup later, hahaha~"

Suzuki smiled and replied:

"Alright, boss, do you have a tavern here? I'll go out for a walk."

The innkeeper nodded with a smile and said to Suzuki:

"Yes, I just came back from there, haha. The tavern is on the left after you go out. You'll see it in a few hundred meters. By the way, our dinner is at seven o'clock in the evening. If you don't eat outside, remember to come back early."

Suzuki nodded with a smile and thanked the boss. Then, he picked up the cotton-padded coat that he had placed on the back of the chair. He saw a newspaper on the table, so he picked it up and left the cup on the table.

After pushing open the door, Suzuki quickly felt the biting cold wind blowing at him. In front of him was an endless expanse of white.

He stuffed the newspaper into his cotton-padded coat and tightened his collar. He first walked towards the peak of the royal capital.

The name of that mountain peak was Drum Rock. The name of Drum Island was derived from the name of the mountain peak.

On the way, he also encountered some interesting creatures. He vaguely remembered that this was a rabbit called "Rabon" in the original work.

Because the village was not far from the royal capital, he soon reached the foot of the royal capital.

Suzuki stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the towering cliff.

Usually, mountain peaks were cone-shaped, which meant that the bottom was thick and the top was thin. This kind of mountain peak was relatively easy to climb.

However, Drum Rock was different. It was in the shape of a cylinder, with the same thickness at the top and bottom. The cliffs on all sides were almost straight lines, making it extremely difficult to climb. The royal capital was also on the top of this mountain.

Looking at the towering cliff, Suzuki touched the smooth rock wall. He stood there quietly and pondered for a while.

Then, he walked around the mountain peak a few times and explored the surrounding environment. After that, he returned to the village and prepared to go to the tavern.

Soon, Suzuki arrived at the tavern.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that there were quite a few people here. All sorts of people were gathered around the tables, drinking and chatting. The tavern was filled with noise and clamor.

"Hey~ Blanche, I'm so sad..."

"Hahahaha, come, Mori, finish this bottle..."

"..."

"Robbie, why are you free today?"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes and accurately and keenly heard a sentence that might be related to his goal.

With a gentle smile on his face, he walked towards the bar counter. He seemed to glance around casually and discovered that the voice came from a few tattooed strong men who were drinking and chatting together.

Suzuki ordered a glass of rum at the bar counter, took the glass, and walked to the table near them. He took out a newspaper from his cotton-padded coat and sat down quietly to read the newspaper, while silently listening to their conversation.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect the king to let me come down to buy food. I'll take this opportunity to have a drink with you guys!"

"Alright, Robbie, this is a good job. You're in luck again. Are you buying this round of drinks?"

"Haha, I'll buy, I'll buy!"

"I heard that the prince's symptoms are getting worse. Can't so many doctors do anything about it?"

"No, and let me tell you, the king is preparing to force the prince to eat the Devil Fruit!"

"Ah? Really?"

"Really!"

"That Devil Fruit is called the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, right? Can it cure anorexia if you eat it?"

"Who knows? However, the ability of the Devil Fruit is indeed very magical. Maybe it can cure the prince."

"..."

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to buy food~"

"Alright, come and have a drink again when you're free, Robbie~"

The few of them were about to leave. Suzuki still sat in his seat and slowly drank his rum. When the one called Robbie opened the door, he stood up and followed him.

After walking out of the tavern and watching Robbie walk in front of him, Suzuki silently followed behind him. He watched from afar as he bought food, pulled a sled, and prepared to go to the royal capital.

Suzuki hid on the way to the royal capital where Robbie took the cable car in advance.

At a certain deserted corner, Suzuki calmly placed an apple on the ground after carefully calculating the time.

Then, he suddenly rushed out and knocked Robbie, who was pulling a sled with a large amount of food, to the ground. Quite a lot of the food on the sled fell onto the snow.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

Suzuki said apologetically.

Robbie's face was filled with anger. He did not lessen his anger when he heard Suzuki's apology. He angrily shouted at Suzuki:

"Are you sick, kid? This is food prepared for the prince. Do you know that?"

Suzuki's face was filled with panic:

"Ah, this? What should I do? Let me pick it up for you~"

Robbie's eyes rolled around. He pretended to threaten Suzuki and said:

"What's the use of picking it up? It fell on the ground and got dirty. Can the prince eat this kind of dirty thing?"

Suzuki's face became even more flustered:

"Then... I, I..."

Robbie seemed to be very satisfied with Suzuki's expression. There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but his face continued to show a fierce expression. He threatened Suzuki:

"What do you mean, 'I'? Give me money! One hundred thousand Berries. Do you know that you have to buy it again?"

Suzuki's expression changed. He was reluctant at first, then afraid, and finally, he pleaded with Robbie with a wronged expression:

"How much money? Can you ask for less? I came here to seek medical treatment. I only brought some money for medical treatment..."

Robbie's face was full of indifference. He maintained a fierce expression:

"These are all food specially provided by the royal family. One hundred thousand Berries. Not a penny less!"

Then, he looked at the food on the snow in front of him and even noticed the apple at the corner. He pointed at the destination of the cable car leading to the top of the mountain and said fiercely:

"Pick up the ones on the ground and put them back. Then, push them over there!"

"This... This, I'll give you the money after I pick it up..."

Suzuki seemed to be about to cry, but he still squatted down to pick up the food.

When he picked up the food at the corner, Suzuki suddenly picked up the apple and ran away. Seeing Suzuki's figure disappear at the corner, Robbie quickly chased after him, but only found an apple at the end of the corner.

Robbie was filled with unwillingness. He spat on the ground and angrily cursed at the empty alley:

"Damn brat, you better not let me see you again, or I'll beat you to death! I lost another one hundred thousand Berries. Damn it!"

Although he was filled with anger, Robbie still picked up the apple and returned to the sled.

Not long after, Robbie pulled the sled and arrived at the cable car station with an unhappy expression. After greeting the staff, he took the food and took the cable car to the royal capital at the top of the mountain...
