The twin fruit of the cherry blossom princess Zoro FF

Chapter 49

"You've gotten better." Nova praised one of her protégés, who had put a lot of effort into today's training. His name was Koby and Nova had recently found out that he knew Luffy. It had been a while since she had met the Straw Hats.

Nova missed Yukiji, but she knew better than anyone that he was the best at keeping his distance. As commander, she couldn't show leniency. Her task and her position were clear.

"Admiral Adysson, the mail has arrived." Koby spoke when a seagull had arrived and was waiting for the money. Deeply relaxed, Nova walked up to the bird, shot the coin into the tray and picked up a newspaper.

"Let's see what news there is." Nova muttered. Garp had given her quite a lot of freedom. Especially after she had passed her test and risen in such a short time. In addition to his fleet, Nova was allowed to run her own, but it was under his supervision.

She briefly skimmed the newspaper articles to read what it was all about and opened the first page. From there, a wanted picture fluttered onto the deck, which Nova immediately picked up again. "Let's see how much you're worth now, Monkey D. Luffy." she said to herself and turned the paper over.

Her gaze remained monotonous at first, before Nova realized whose picture was actually in front of her. "What!?" the black-haired girl shouted, which startled Koby, who retreated slightly.

Nova was beside herself. Not because Yukiji was one of the pirates. It was clear that she would receive such a poster at some point. However, Nova knew for a fact that the navy wasn't looking for her because of that. No, Yukiji hadn't done much in herself. The price would not be justified. So it meant that her father wanted her back.

"Shit..." came out of Nova with a crunch. The navy wouldn't just be looking for Luffy now, they wanted to collect that reward.

Her eyes turned to the newspaper articles that had summarized many things. Alabasta, Jaya, everything that you wouldn't otherwise notice. And of course the straw hats were always there. They were even on Longring-Longland. That was the last time Akoiji saw Yukiji.

"Are you all right?" Koby asked, slightly frightened. He had never seen Nova angry before. Although, she pulled herself together quite well.

"That idiot..." whispered Nova. Yukiji really should take better care of herself. Slightly out of her anger, Nova crumpled up the newspaper before a wind blew through her hair. A wind that wasn't supposed to be here, so Nova quickly realized that she had to listen.

"Enie's Lobby, danger, government." Nova could hear outside and immediately recognized Yukiji's voice. The cherry blossoms that came with the wind were caught in her hair. Nova took them out one by one and looked at the softly written words. Yukiji really needed to work on her devil power.

Reading everything and putting it all together, Nova gritted her teeth again. "You little princess, how dare you act just like that..."
