3. Let me take a look at whether that little cutie will win the grand prize!
After the meal, Chu the Overlord and Kaya began their usual stroll, drawing envious glances from many along the way.
To be honest, Kaya’s appearances in the pirate world were not frequent, but her popularity was undeniably high.
With her playful light blonde hair and ever-present book, coupled with a sweet smile and gentle demeanor, she had taken up studying medicine with unstoppable determination to help the villagers.
Her kind words and knowing smiles had captured the hearts of many admirers in the village.
Kaya’s pure and soft appearance was matched by a meek and gentle personality, tender feelings, a kind heart, and a resilient determination beneath her softness.
In short, Kaya possessed all the virtues expected of the perfect wife!
Normally, the villagers would greet Kaya with warm smiles.
But these past few days, every time they saw Chu the Overlord, they would instinctively call out “Baba,” which made them somewhat irritable.
Just now, someone was complaining to Kaya.
The down-and-out beggar stammered, “M-Miss Kaya, B-Baba, the Overlord, he’s been t-troubling us. You—you have to make him kneel and scrub the washboard!”
“Miss Kaya, the stammerer is right. You can’t spoil this kid; he’s the naughtiest troublemaker in our village! Even Usopp, who’s known for telling tall tales, can’t compare to him! Every time we see him, we shout ‘Baba,’ but this is definitely a plot by the Overlord!”
From a distance, Usopp looked somewhat disheartened, hanging his head in silence.
Almost no one in the village disliked Kaya.
Even Usopp was no exception.
But seeing how happy Kaya’s life was now, their secret crushes and affections had gradually transformed into blessings.
After all, although Chu the Overlord could be somewhat reckless,
he was extremely reliable!
He often helped the villagers with heavy chores like chopping wood and fetching water, never shirking his duties.
This was one of the main reasons most people quietly wished happiness for Chu the Overlord and Kaya.
If it weren’t for the fact that everyone couldn’t help but call him “Baba” whenever they saw him,
everyone would wish for their days to remain peaceful and stable.
But there was no helping it.
Having to call him “Baba” each time felt suffocating to anyone!
Kaya smiled wryly, responding to everyone’s complaints, trying her best to soothe their moods.
Not just the villagers, even she felt a bit depressed.
Every night before falling asleep, when she did certain indescribable things with Chu the Overlord,
she couldn’t help but call out “Baba” a few times in the heat of the moment, which was utterly embarrassing!
“Alright, everyone, don’t worry. When I get back, I’ll give him a good scolding! At least I’ll make him stay home more often!”
Since then, Chu the Overlord’s appearances had indeed become much fewer.
Even so, about a hundred people still fell victim to his punishments daily.
“Today, I will randomly select a hundred lucky villagers to shout my name! Let’s see which little cutie wins the grand prize!”
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
All the villagers, as if by tacit agreement, closed their doors and windows, trembling as they curled up in corners.
“It’s you again, Mr. Village Chief!”
The village chief fainted in tears in the restroom. “Baba, Overlord, why is it always me today?!”
Chu the Overlord was just as helpless.
The population of Sirrobo Village was just over a thousand, and with a daily limit of a hundred draws,
it would take about ten days for a full cycle!
Moreover, many had developed psychological shadows over it!
Even if they swore to the heavens and locked their doors tightly,
when it came down to it, the unlucky ones were still the village chief's household.
At this rate, Chu feared he wouldn’t even reach his one-hundred-draw daily limit.
“I have to think of a solution! How about we go out for a walk?”
Just as Chu the Overlord was pondering this,
three mischievous kids under Usopp’s command came running, shouting, “Pirates! Pirates have appeared! Everyone, run!”
The three rascals were known as Green Pepper Head, Carrot Head, and Onion Head.
“Onion Head, speak a little slower,” Chu said, catching the slowest runner, Onion Head.
“O-Overlord, big trouble! Captain Usopp is confronting pirates. Hurry and inform Miss Kaya so she can lead everyone to safety!”
At the thought that the pirates might kill Captain Usopp, the three kids started crying and wailing.
Chu the Overlord asked, “A pirate ship appeared? Did you see its emblem clearly?”
Onion Head replied succinctly, “Yes, yes. It’s a skull wearing a straw hat.”
Chu the Overlord laughed.
A skull with a straw hat?
That could only be the Straw Hat Pirates!
