I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Coles explained to his sister.

"Love is the happiness that is given actively. Love is also the ultimate sublimation goal of liking.

Different types of love correspond to different types of likes. Love includes love, family affection, friendship, etc. When you grow up, it will become clearer step by step. "

For thirteen-year-old Vilciya, love is indeed an emotion that is difficult to understand. Perhaps only by growing up slowly and experiencing various things can one truly know what love is.

The holidays passed quickly, and my sister Velcia's fourteenth birthday was quickly approaching.

……

The west side neighborhood of Rogue Town.

There is a very famous bakery here, and its owner is an old woman in her sixties, whom everyone calls Mrs. Jones.

Mrs. Jones has a gentle personality. Although she is old, she has no major problems. She gets up every day and buys bread and cakes here.

The bread and cakes baked here are very delicious. Every time his sister has a birthday, Coles will come here and order a huge blueberry cake.

Mrs. Jones has opened a shop here for more than thirty years and is older than Coles.

It is said that Coles’ father and mother fell in love at first sight over a cake here. When Coles came to buy bread, Mrs. Jones would talk to him from time to time.

"Mrs. Jones, is the blueberry cake I ordered ready?" Today, Coles came back to the bakery and said hello with a smile.

"Oh, little Coles is here. I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you are already a rear admiral. That's amazing!"

Jones is a person who doesn't like reading newspapers very much, so he still learned the news about Coles' promotion from the mouths of other people.

It can be said that she watched the Charlotte family grow up, from an ordinary happy family to gaining wealth and becoming rich.

Then Coles joined the Navy and became a second lieutenant at the Navy Headquarters. He was just promoted to a Major at the Navy Headquarters last year and was transferred to the distant Navy Headquarters...

Now that he has returned, he has become a well-known young rear admiral in Rogge Town.

What a legendary life!

Jones was thinking as he moved to get Coles the huge blueberry cake that he had made before.

Coles explained simply.

"The world has been turbulent recently, so promotions are coming quickly."

Hearing this, Jones replied: "Yes! I heard that the world's military conscription policy has been expanded recently, and the two sons of the Lime family next door have chosen to join the army."

This is a new round of expansion of the world government, coupled with the influence of Coles, a nineteen-year-old newly promoted rear admiral in the navy.

Later in the story of One Piece's development, the world conscription also attracted a lot of power, among which generals Fujitora and Midori were the most obvious representatives.

"I think they will make excellent navy." Coles was not impressed by the two sons of the Lem family and only answered perfunctorily.

"Okay, your huge blueberry cake." Jones had already taken out the packaged cake.

However, the strawberry cake, which is said to be a huge one, is actually not very big. The cake is only half a meter high. Food of this size is nothing to my sister's appetite.

But this is also because the Coles family was just an ordinary family before, so a half-meter-high cake like this is already very luxurious.

Even though she is now rich and doesn't have to worry about money, my sister is used to eating this cake on her birthday. If she changes it to another cake, she will not be happy.

"Then Mrs. Jones, I'll leave first."

After Coles received the blueberry cake, he turned around and left. As for the cake, he had already paid for it a few days ago.

"Okay, slow down on the road and be careful not to drop it." Jones gently instructed.

Although it seemed useless to tell a rear admiral like this, Jones was already used to it, because in her impression, Coles was still a young man who lived an active life and doted on his younger sister.

……

villa.

The white chandelier is dark.

There wasn't much light in the hall.

The original housekeepers and servants were also given a few days' leave by Ronald and went back to their respective homes.

Next to the rectangular dining table in the center.

At this time, the Charlotte family were wearing formal clothes and sitting upright.

Right in front of Vilciya, there is a half-meter-high white cream cake, dotted with some light blue blueberries. Fourteen small candles have been inserted on the cake, and only need to be lit and made a wish.

Coles lit these colorful candles and said: "My lovely sister, Happybirthday, I wish you a happy birthday!"

"Come on, blow out the candles, and then make a wish. Remember to keep your wish in your heart, and don't say it out loud, otherwise it won't work."

Velcia nodded, puffed up her face and blew out the candles in one breath, then clasped her hands in front of her and began to make a wish silently.

She has made many wishes before that she can live happily with her family and that her brother will not get hurt. This year she wants to make a new wish.

And this wish was the problem that had been plaguing her mind the past few days.

She wanted to know what love was.

A few seconds later, Versia opened her eyes: "I made a wish."

"it is good."

Coles snapped his fingers, the shadow power shrouding the hall of the villa dissipated, and the crystal lamp that had no light suddenly lit up.

Under the bright light, you can see many delicacies placed on the dining table, including light red lobsters, fragrant sea fish, and sea urchins with long spines...

This is a rich seafood feast!

"Can we start eating?" Vilciya couldn't help but couldn't wait.

"Wait a minute, my father and I still have birthday gifts for you." Coles shook his head slightly.

"What a great birthday gift!" When she heard that there were still gifts, Versia temporarily suppressed the urge to eat and waited quietly.

Ronald stood up first and came to the object covered with red cloth not far from the dining table.

"This is my birthday gift." Ronald coughed, then reached out and pulled the red cloth, revealing the mysterious gift.

Under the red cloth.

It is a shiny black piano, with black and white keys and a pure black body that gives people a sense of comfort without losing the atmosphere.

Just from its rare appearance, one can guess the value of this piano.

Ronald said with a proud look on his face: "Vilcia, you said before that you wanted to learn the piano. I personally went to the best piano store to select it. This piano took me seven days to select. It is definitely the best. .”

It took seven days to select, which shows that Ronald was really attentive, but he spent most of his time struggling with the difficulty of choosing.

"Thank you father."

Versia did say before that she wanted to learn piano, but her father bought her the best piano, which made her very happy.

Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, Ronald felt extremely happy. After spending so much time selecting, it was indeed not in vain.

Versia then turned to look at Coles: "Brother, what is your birthday gift?"

birthday present.

Coles had already prepared it before. He stretched out his hand and handed out a beautiful small gift box.

As the lid of the gift box is opened.

A brilliant emerald appears in this gift box.

This emerald is surrounded by metal accessories. Not only does it not feel inconsistent, but it makes the gem more delicate and beautiful.

Eternal Forest!

This is one of the rare double gems that Coles bought as a birthday gift for his sister for 300 million beli at the Black Flame City auction not long ago.

However, if calculated in two parts, this emerald of the Eternal Forest should only be worth 150 million beli.

"Brother, this gem is so beautiful! Is it really given to me?"

In an instant, Velcia was attracted by this bright gem.

Coles stood up, put the gem around his sister's neck himself, and said softly.

"Well, this is your birthday gift. After today, you are already a fourteen-year-old girl. Your personality cannot be too out of the ordinary. You must be sensible and learn to be elegant. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand. Then brother, what is the name of this emerald?"

"Eternal Forest!"
