Chapter 569: Weiwei's Speech
When he saw the little girls again, Zhang Da was also shocked: "Are these still those dirty little kids from my family?"
It is estimated that Tiraguda's dressing and clothing matching skills have reached a very high level. After being dressed up by her, Vivi, Wendy and Perona's temperament is completely different from usual.
All three of them went from being naughty kids to quiet and polite little princesses—if they just kept quiet and didn’t move around.
"Who are you calling a dirty kid?" Although Perona was wearing a complicated Alabasta long skirt, others could still feel her stomping feet.
Zhang Da also said: "I was praising your beauty. It is indeed different from usual."
Direct praise can easily make the tsundere shy, but she immediately came to her senses and floated directly in front of Zhang Daye: "You are clearly saying that we are usually dirty!"
Zhang Da also argued cunningly: "It's just an exaggeration and a rhetorical device of contrast. I usually tell you to study grammar well, but you don't listen."
It's not unfair to call them dirty kids, especially Weiwei. Every time we go out for an adventure or camping, she is the one who gets the dirtiest.
She is clearly a user of the natural-type Sand-Sand Fruit, so logically she should be able to avoid getting a single leaf on her body, but she can't, and she even always scratches her clothes.
Wendy might be a little better, not as naughty as them, but she exercises the hardest and often gets sweaty. If she doesn't exercise in the cabin, it is common for her to get dirty.
Of course, Zhang Da was the same in this respect, so he always wanted to learn Tom's secret technique of shaking hair and slapping the ground.
No matter what was on him, even if he rolled in the coals, he could shake it off and pat it clean - Tom usually took a bath just for the sake of taking a bath, and he felt that he was clean only after taking a bath.
"Huh? How did you manage to get three sizes of clothing so quickly?"
Tilaguda said: "Because I'm not sure how much Princess Weiwei will grow in this year, I have asked someone to make several sets of clothes in each size. Now I just gave them to them."
Like Ikalem, Tiragotta treats Vivi almost as her own daughter.
If it weren't for the exaggerated resemblance between her and Ikalem's faces, Zhang Da might have thought of it in a bad direction, but if the couple had a child... Zhang Da could almost imagine what it would be like, and it would definitely not be as beautiful as Weiwei.
Ikalem came over and announced, "It's almost time... Ahem, umm, is everything ready here?"
Surrounded by the crowd, Vivi walked up to the podium high on the castle's top , accompanied by Cobra. The others stood behind her and stopped at a position that could not be seen in the square below.
The square below was already full of people, and many people also gathered near the loudspeakers in the squares of cities such as Yudi, Nahanna, and Juba.
Countless people are paying attention to Weiwei's first speech as a princess because it may very well be related to their future lives.
Of course, there are also people who think that it is none of their business and just focus on doing their own things.
Weiwei couldn't pay attention to the people farther away for the time being. She could only see the crowds of people in the square.
Her father said that she should regard these people as friends and family, and the reason why everyone gathered here today was to show their concern for her, a child who had been away for a year.
In that case, let me tell you about my experience.
Weiwei took the microphone Cobra handed her, put it to her lips, and said with a smile:
"Hello everyone, I'm Weiwei, a capricious princess who ran away for over a year. Just yesterday, I came home!"
Weiwei's playful self-introduction made people laugh in good faith. Many people know that their princesses are often like naughty kids from the neighborhood.
It seems now that her personality hasn't changed even after being away for a year.
Some people boldly shouted words like 'Welcome home'.
Weiwei waited until the crowd quieted down a bit before continuing, "I've been traveling a bit this past year. It's been an unforgettable and joyful journey. I've met the best companions, seen the vast ocean, and seen many incredible sights."
"So the ocean beyond Alabasta is so vast. There's a fairytale island 10,000 meters deep in the ocean, and a kingdom above the clouds 10,000 meters high in the sky. There are mermaids with beautiful tails, and Sky Islanders with angelic wings..."
"In some countries, people suffer from hunger and cold, in others, they are prosperous, and in still others, they are plagued by war and even destroyed..."
"I've experienced events that can't be summarized by just a sentence or a picture in the newspaper, and I've witnessed tragedies that are unimaginable and difficult to accept..."
"Sometimes the sea outside is gentle and peaceful, as if it were playing a song for the travelers; sometimes it's surging like the wrath of the sea god. But thankfully, that little boat and those companions gave me an incredible sense of security."
Everyone in the Amber Tour Group smiled. You wouldn't have guessed it, but this kid is quite talkative. Although no one knows what her topic is, everyone enjoys listening.
After a brief introduction, Vivi described in detail several things that impressed her, ranging from the battle against the Midnight Pirates to the small matter of fighting with a cat for fish.
The ordinary battle that Weiwei mentioned sounded so thrilling to the ears of ordinary people, and they couldn't help but worry for the princess.
The playfulness with her companions made them laugh again, as it turned out that the princess also had such an innocent side.
"In this short year, I've seen so many landscapes and visited so many countries, but just yesterday, when I set foot on this land, the solid feeling in my heart told me that this is the country I love most. I, Nefertari Vivi, belong only to Alabasta!"
After Weiwei finished her last sentence, the square cheered like thunder.
“Oh~~~~~”
"The princess said something incredible!"
"Lady Weiwei!"
“We love this country the most!”
Smart, beautiful, strong, gentle, approachable, knowledgeable... Shouldn't Alabasta be happy to have such an heir?
The people originally did not expect the young princess to say anything, but suddenly hearing such a speech was enough to make them overjoyed.
Some people suspected that this was a manuscript written by someone else, but someone in the square was sharp-eyed and noticed the surprise on the king's face.
Even the king was surprised, so this must be what the princess wanted to say, right?
Bell and Gaga in the back also showed surprise: "The princess is really amazing."
Ikalem was so excited that tears came to his eyes again. He held Jackie Chan's hands with both hands and kept expressing his gratitude.
I heard that the little girls in the Amber Tour Group were taught and taken care of by this man most of the time. He must have made an indelible contribution to Princess Vivi's growth into what she is today.
Is this man an outstanding educator?
