Chapter 9 Reading the first Book of One Piece
¶¶¶
"My Dear! How can you create a profitable business like this without even telling me?!"
Olvia stood beside Rob and grumbled nonstop since she was drawn to the mysterious building that had opened near their house and came to take a look to discover that her husband had opened an art store without even telling her.
She felt wronged as any other wife who is not told of her husband's plans.
All the shyness she had been feeling about last night's hot events had disappeared, but, unfortunately, the pain from her lower area hadn't gone away yet.
Rob was speechless because he discovered a new side of his wife today, how scary she was when she got angry, even Rob felt threatened and hurried to put out the fire before it caught on.
"Not like that, it's not at all, this is the power of my Devil Fruit, I was just discovering its potential and I didn't mean to create this building in the first place, after accidentally creating it I had this interesting idea for manga drawing."
Rob had thought about this matter well before, anything abnormal could only be explained by something abnormal like the devil fruit.
As expected, Olvia didn't suspect it at all because after all, this building had appeared out of thin air. Its only explanation was the ability of a Devil Fruit.
"Isn't your ability to make paper only?!"
"No, I found out that it is much more than that."
Hearing this, Olvia didn't want to push the matter too much and turned her attention to the many people who walked in and out of the store with beaming faces, carrying what her husband called manga volumes with them.
There were a lot of children with their parents and the young men too, male or female, everyone who could read and could afford the price of a manga book was here, besides, this place gave them a feeling of absolute safety!
It was a strange and inexplicable feeling, but for some reason, they were sure that as long as they were here they would not die at all and the God of Death could only wait outside.
In addition, this place had strange delicacies such as hamburgers, pizza, cans of Coke in those refrigerator-like vending machines, and cups of coffee that had never been seen before in this world.
The taste of canned coffee was especially intoxicating, once they tasted it they felt addictive, so they would not be able to go back to their usual coffee anymore.
In fact, the appeal of these products has even surpassed the manga volumes themselves, after all, these people wouldn't be drawn into the story so quickly because they needed to read it first.
...
"Director Clover!"
"Director Clover!"
"What, why all this disturbance, Zadie?!"
Clover was busy studying the latest research on the punglyphs that Olvia's mission delegation had returned when he annoyed by his annoying student.
"Something big has happened outside, look at this here. This is called a manga volume that is being sold in a mysterious building called the art store that has opened next to the library, by the way, the person who opened this store is Mr . Rob, Olvia san's husband...!"

[Ding! +6,034 Art Points from 100 other people]
Rob turned off the annoying sound of system notifications and glanced at the amazing amount of art points that started pouring down on him like rain and still going on.
Rob noticed something interesting is that the names of ordinary people were less bright on the front of the system but the names of well-known characters like Clover and his wife Olvia were brighter, and not only that, they provided much more art points than ordinary people!
There were even regular people who gave 1 art point, no comparison with Clover and Olvia who gave 100 and 95 respectively.
At yet Rob has understood little of how this complex reward system works.
