The two paid the berthing cost and made their way to the city center. Ryan didn't know of this island. Taking into account the size of this world and the number of islands present it isn't all that surprising. The city was called Silver City, named after its founder from long ago. The city itself had no defining characteristics other than its size, which was one the larger side in the East Blue.
While Ryan and Anne were walking they drew a lot of gazes, considering their unique appearance. Their good looks coupled with the white hair and red eyes were unusual and most people didn't dare utter a word. It wasn't until they were out of sight until someone awoke from his stupor and waking the whole crowd with his next words.
"Aren't they these two the ones the new wanted posters?" His words caused the other citizens to take a gulp.
After another moment of silence a second man added. "Looks like it, but last time she didn't have white hair, did she? Aside from that, I wouldn't mind playing with her, hehe."
His words caused the crowd to shake their heads in unison. 'Do you want to get killed that badly? Didn't you see how high their bounty is?'
The next moment they heard a loud scream, seeing the man who had just spoken, knocked out and being dragged away. A middle-aged woman holding a pan in her left hand and the mans leg in her right one mumbled to herself. "I don't remember raising such a thug. It's time to send you to your uncle to the marine headquarters."
Her actions and words caused the spectating crowd a stiff feeling. 'Lady you sure are soft on your family.'
After a moment the people finally began to disperse, as there was nothing to see anymore.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Anne managed to arrive in the inner part of Silver City without many problems. The people were busy and most of them didn't recognize them distracted by their work. The few people who did, were smart enough to mind their own business. Hell, they were inside the weakest of all the seas. How could there be so many people who were able to deal with them.
"Hey Anne, how about we search for a good place to eat first?" He looked to Anne for confirmation.
"That sounds good to me. It's nice to have a change of taste once in a while. Neither you nor I are that good at cooking." Anne said while shuddering slightly as if remembering something.
Ryan just turned his head away making one believe he feels guilty about something.
"Then excuse me for a second. I will ask around, if there's a good restaurant nearby."
About five minutes later they arrived at a medium-sized inn called "The sleeping Sea King". Outside they could already smell something long forgotten. At least for Ryan that was the case. For Anne this leisure time was something new and even though she often ate delicious food at inns and stalls, it was a new feeling being able to share these moments with others.
After entering, they were greeted by a rather rustic atmosphere. The customers ranged from common working-class citizens, better off merchants, marines as well as small pirate crews.
Switching between these tables were to youths. One was a girl about the height of Anne's bosom with long blonde hair. The other one was a boy with pretty similar features and height and the same blonde hair, albeit shorter. Both of them could be described as beautiful and handsome, even though not at the same level of Anne and Ryan. From the looks of it, it was pretty clear, that these two were twins. The girl was wearing a outfit similar to a maids and the boy an apron typical for modern waiters.
The moment Ryan and Anne entered, all eyes were on them. Since some weeks ago most people would recognize them, due to their unique characteristics. Most of the people showed slight fear, especially the marines present in the restaurant. They wanted to get up and sneak out to tell their superior, but after a quick glance of Ryan they sat back down with sweaty hands.
They paid them no further heed and proceeded to a free table in the corner of the hall. The siblings had a surprised and nervous expression at first, but soon put on a professional front again and proceeded to Ryan's table together.
Ryan was surprised by their professionalism despite their young age. Even though both of them weren't as villainous as described, that weren't information most people knew.
Kabam!
The girl fell flat onto the ground, but quickly got up again with her nose bleeding profusely putting even rivers to shame. Still, she acted as if nothing happened. The boy reacted as if nothing happened, be it out of habit or fear remained unknown. They proceeded on their way over to the table.
'Truly that is professionalism' Ryan tried to convince himself with his face twitching while they managed to arrive at their table.
"Esteemed guests, have you already decided on your order?" the boy asked while the girl looked rather pale at the moment considering her blood loss.
Silence. No answer spoken, the boy felt weird and took a better glance at his 'esteemed guests' only to see them focused on the flowing waterfall of red, making his way down to her mouth, further under her chin before lastly dropping onto the ground. It was as if they were looking at their prey. He started to sweat and quickly took out a tissue to wipe his sisters face before sending her away and coughing lightly.
Ryan and Anne regained their senses and both of them coughed lightly as well to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
"So what was your question again?" Ryan asked calmly, hoping the boy would just let it go.
'Damn the smell of blood alone is hard to resist. We should work on getting this under control. How awkward would it be biting into her neck here in front of all people.' Ryan caring for his public image started to make adjustments to their training regime while waiting for the boy to go on.
"Right, I just asked esteemed guests have decided on what to eat and drink." the boy replied, back in his professional-mode.
"Let's see, we will take some of your best dishes. About 5-6 should suffice. As for drinks, we will take a bottle of bloo ahem we will take a bottle of wine." Ryan just ignored his blunder while placing his order.
Meanwhile, Anne chocked on her saliva. It was as if Ryan and the boy couldn't see anything. The boy nodded and after confirming the order he left for the kitchen.
The crowd felt a bit lightheaded after their expectations got disappointed, but nobody dared to utter a single word about Ryan, Anne or the waiter and his sister. Soon they began to relax again and proceeded with their meal.
A short time later the door of the inn opened again, causing the crowd to hold their breath again. 'Come on, we just wanted to eat in peace!'
