True Art

A day passed after the news was published.

Asdrerd went to collect the materials he ordered and seeing everyone smiling normally, he understood that they had not yet read the newspaper.

Arriving in the middle of the forest, he began to paint the surrounding environment.

While he was painting, he thought of the article.

He would never have tried to save children unknown to him. Mia was a different matter, he decided to help her only to feel better with his past, which worked, now he no longer felt that chain inside, he could move freely. He concluded that someone had tried to frame him.

Once the forest painting was finished, he went to the ILC group tent to meet Mr. Green.

"𝗔𝗦𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗗-𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗔 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗!" The boss announced.

"𝗔𝗦𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗗-𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗔!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" New arrivals had bright eyes; they still did not believe they could meet their idol.

"Big Brother!" Mia jumped and hugged Asdrerd.

'Yes, I no longer feel heart pain, I am truly free!' He thought happily after seeing Mia.

Not seeing Mia's father around, he asked the girl, "Mia, do you know where your father is?"

"Sorry, I was talking to Den Den Mushi." Mr. Green entered the tent just then.

Seeing a painting in the boy's hand, the man asked, "I have an appointment for the inauguration of the museum this afternoon, would you like to come with me and Mia to Goa?"

Interested in being able to admire the art of this world, he accepted without thinking.

"Sure! As a painter, I can't miss such an event!" He answered Mr. Green.

Seeing the child's spirit, Mr. Green smiled.

'Painter said Hahaha, he is underestimating art. He is only 10 years old; even if he had started painting as a baby he cannot be defined as such.' He thought without saying anything, he certainly did not want to offend and break the boy's dreams.

Thinking of showing them a painting by a real painter, he pulled a painting out of his bag.

"Asdrerd, this is a painting by master Kaiba." He said removing the blanket from the painting.

"But this is ..." the painting surprised Asdrerd so much, that he could not continue the sentence.

Thinking that he had enchanted him, he continued to speak.

"It depicts the release of slaves from Marijoa by Fisher Tiger. This painting was created by the master Kaiba obtaining the testimonies of the fugitives."

Seeing Asdrerd's mouth still wide open, he said proudly, "This will be the main picture of the new museum here in Goa."

"𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧??!?!?" Asdrerd screamed in surprise.

Mr. Green laughed loudly and then thought in his mind that he made the brat understand what real painting is.

"Would this shit be the main painting of the art museum?" He said putting a hand in his face.

"Sorry? What did you say?" Thinking he hadn't heard right, he asked for confirmation.

Asdrerd was disappointed with the painting and the master who had designed it.

"First it's one of the worst paintings I've ever seen, plus you'd like to use it as the main painting 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀?? 𝙄𝙉 𝙂𝙊𝘼? Do you have a Magikarp in your head!?"

(Author's note: Donate $1 to the Magikarp association.

$1 = One Magikarp saved. Number: 0123456789. They also accept power stone u.u.)

Asdrerd was usually calm, but when it came to art, he often lost his temper.

Not understanding Asdrerd's words, Mia tilted her head.

Seeing his daughter, the father who was about to insult Asdrerd calmed down, did not want to teach her bad words.

"Boy, I don't recommend you to insulting this picture; it's considered one of the 7 treasures of the seas. Master Kaiba has been painting for over 40 years, he is known as the best painter in the world."

Then this world has not yet experienced true art!" He replied and then launched colors from his fingers towards the picture, ruining the drawing.

"What did you do!?" Seeing the ruined picture, Mr. Green screamed at Asdrerd.

He got down on his knees and thought about what he could do. What painting would be present at the museum? He had ensured he had a perfect picture.

Asdrerd seeing the man in very poor condition snorted and said to him, "You should thank me; your career would end with that painting." Then he went to the man's ear and whispered to him, "Green D. Yarven, think about it, did you really want to focus the museum of the kingdom of Goa on the theme of the liberation of slaves? Goa is a rotten kingdom, where nobles live disgusting others, do you think they would have been happy to have a picture like that?"

Before the man could say anything, Asdrerd showed his painting.

"Even this sketch is better than your masterpiece, obviously I don't want a work of such a low level to be made known, it's just a drawing for one person."

The eyes ended on the drawing.

Mr. Green looked around and seemed to be in the forest of the painting. The leaves that were falling from the trees, the squirrel that was climbing, birds flying high in the sky, he seemed to hear even their verses and the wind that moved his clothes.

"Ah! A bunny!" Mia said seeing in the painting a bunny jumping out of the bush.

"WOW! There is a live bunny in the big brother's design!"

Hearing his daughter, Yarven "returned" to the tent.

"This is…"

"It's just a sketch, but it is real art." Asdrerd pronounced. "It is not a painting created by testimonies, all that present in the painting was seen by me, drawn on the spot. I touched those trees, breathed that air and walked on that ground."

The words and talent of the boy in front of him had stunned Mr. Green. Asdrerd was only 10 years old, yet he could already be considered a master.

"Mr. Green, I would like to make an agreement with you! I can create the perfect painting for the inauguration of the museum later this afternoon. In return, I would like an art museum dedicated solely to my works, located in Sabaody. I can guarantee the quality of each work."

Asdrerd proposed, wanting to take advantage of the situation to create a place for his paintings.

Trusting the young man's talent, Yarven accepted, but said, "There is only one small problem, you are a wanted man, and this could cause problems!"

"I know, I don't understand the reason for my bounty ... I will use an artistic name, I will create a different character from my current self, << he >> will sign the works."

He said to reassure Mr. Green.

"What do you think of Spered?" He asked thinking back to his childhood as Yarold.

After fixing everything, Asdrerd went with Mia and her father to the kingdom of Goa, pretending to be Yarven's son.

He was dressed elegantly and in order not to be recognized, he had put on a hat and fake glasses.

He had already informed that he intended to draw Goa in its entire splendor and for this, he wanted to visit the kingdom live.

After walking through the kingdom, touching the walls, talking to people and feeling the atmosphere well, he asked his "father" to obtain permission from the guard to climb the wall.

"Why does your son want to climb the wall that surrounds the kingdom of Goa?" A guard asked Mr. Green.

"Mister guard, I would like to go up to admire the best kingdom of this sea in all its beauty," Asdrerd said nobly to the guard.

"Hahaha! What an educated child, you can see that he comes from a noble family." He said after hearing the young man's answer.

"All right! Go through these stairs behind me, you can climb the walls." The guard moved and gave the boy permission to go up.

'He said so, but in reality, he wants to do like all the other nobles of this kingdom. He wants to go up to be able to see the ants of the Gray Terminal from top to bottom.' The guard was accustomed to this type of action. Every day nobles came with their children to explain their superiority and to show them the "living garbage" that was on the other side.

Once on top, Asdrerd started painting happily; this was his first real painting of a One Piece city.

"It will be a rotten kingdom but... it's really beautiful." He spoke these words while he was drawing and looking at the environment with the haki of observation.
