Pirate's Freedom

In 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar, the East China Sea.

Small triangular colored flags fluttered in the wind and were tied between the coconut trees that served as street trees.

On the street, there are neat rows of two-story wooden houses.

There are fishermen hawking fish, fruit vendors soliciting customers, young couples strolling arm in arm, wearing floral shirts, and an old man stationed on crutches walking slowly past with a paper bag...

This is an ordinary and vibrant village, bustling and peaceful.

By this time, people had almost finished lunch, and there was still a while before the sun set, so more and more people wanted to buy something to eat.

And a man with a clear goal is also among them.

If you are 30 years old, it is possible. If you are 40 years old, some people believe it. In short, he is just a man who is often called an uncle when he walks on the street. He tucks a large white shirt into canvas pants, has short fluffy hair, and a beard on his chin. Chu Qingqing, an older young man who looks a little thin and tired, with gentle but powerful eyes.

He looked at the lively scene around him, walked forward for a while, and turned into the police station at the corner of the street by a familiar route.

"It's just one book, so what does it matter? There are many more books over there!"

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a childish sound that sounded like a silver bell and a stream.

"Idiot! Of course there are a lot of books in the bookstore!"

A serious voice scolded.

"Didn't I tell you several times that you are not allowed to steal anything? Why are you disobeying me?"

"But my family is poor and can't afford it! Stingy!"

The layout of the police station is very simple, with a safe in the corner, a notice board with a reward on the wall, a duty list next to it, a neat set of tables and chairs by the window, and a bookcase with drawers inside.

Under the notice board, two small figures stood against the wall.

The one on the left has messy, frizzy short orange hair, a trace of dust on his small nose, panting heavily, with a child's unique blush, and fine beads of sweat on his face.

She hugged a large book "Detailed Explanation of Nautical Charts" tightly and winked at the person behind the desk, wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.

"Bah~ bah~ bah~"

"..."

The one on the right has short pink braids hanging down from the side of the ear. The little girl has a round little face that is white and tender. Her two big crystal eyes are shining. Her little lips are pressed hard, and her hands are behind her back, one after another. Tiptoe on the ground.

"Dad! I'm so hungry!"

Seeing the young man coming in, she immediately smiled happily with an innocent smile.

"Are you coming to take me home for dinner?"

There is a "clicking" rotating windmill in front of the big-brimmed hat. He has thick black mustache and neat eyebrows. Sheriff Kensuke in a black police uniform is sitting by the window. He looks very serious and can be said to be very serious to ordinary criminals. Very intimidating.

"Don't be fooled by illusions."

he warned sternly.

"If Ira hadn't pestered the shopkeeper to talk, Nami wouldn't have succeeded easily."

"..."

The young man thought for a while and asked a question.

"I want to ask, how were they caught?"

"Because I've been staying across from the bookstore."

Kensuke replied seriously.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!!"

Nami vomited more vigorously on the side.

Kensuke ignored her, glanced at Ila's obedient appearance, and suddenly felt a headache.

"You have to take good care of her, Tata Tot."

"Ugh……"

The young father sighed helplessly.

"Um...how much is it? I'll pay it."

"Uh……"

Kensuke's voice suddenly paused.

"I've already paid for it."

The two looked at each other for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, and turned away at the same time.

……

"Nami~~Nami~~Nami——"

A voice like an oriole sounded cheerfully on the street.

After leaving the police station, Tata Tot wanted to separate from Kensuke, but as soon as he turned around, Ira and Nami were stuck together again.

"Go home, Ira, aren't you hungry?"

Tata Toth reached out and called.

"Not so hungry now!"

Ila turned around and said loudly.

"Eating seafood fried rice today."

Tata Tot said seductively without giving up.

"Oh~!"

Ila cheered and turned her head.

"Nami~Nami~Let's have seafood fried rice for dinner!"

"cut……"

Tata Tot felt a little sour.

"Little follower!"

……

The wide eaves are supported by pillars, and a small house with a pitched roof sits alone outside the village.

The originally painted red roof and blue walls have become old and faded, but after careful care by the owner, you can still feel a touch of warmth.

Barrels and cartons are stacked against the wall. In the orange orchard behind the house, lush orange trees are as neatly planted as potted plants, with plump oranges peeking out from between the leaves.

"Bellemere! Bellemere! Come out quickly! Your child did something bad again!"

Tata Tot and Ila stood aside, watching Kensuke lead Nami to slam the door with his hands.

In the gentle breeze, the windmill above Kensuke's head was spinning in circles, making a soft "clack-clack" sound.

"What's going on? It's so noisy!"

A woman wearing a blue plaid shirt and trousers, with bare feet wearing a pair of slippers, holding the door with one hand and one hand on her waist, came out with a cigarette in her mouth.

With bangs parted in the middle, long dark red hair tied back, and thin sideburns, she looked like a delinquent girl, but she actually had been a delinquent girl.

"Nami, are you back?"

She bent down and looked at Nami with a smile.

"Well! Bellemere, I'm back!"

Nami raised her head and smiled brightly.

"You did something wrong and you still dare to smile!"

Kensuke's angry expression was simply terrifying, but no one here took it seriously.

"You are so true, Bellemere!"

He glanced at Tata Tot who was doing nothing.

"And you too, Tata Tot. It's time to discipline them. Everyone in the village is talking."

Tata Toth looked like he was in a daze, but Bellemare was unfazed.

"Don't be so serious! She is just a child! You must have stolen things when you were a child, right?"

Click!Click!Click!

Kensuke was so angry that the windmill above his head was spinning faster and faster.

"That's how you indulge your child, and she will..."

"I know! I know! Thank you, you must have paid for me first, right?"

Bellmere suddenly put her hand on Kensuke's cheek, and when the sound disappeared, she made an ambiguous expression in a narrow manner.

"I don't have any money now. Next time...I will compensate you well~"

The next moment, Kensuke jumped back like a rabbit, and he was more than ten meters away.

"Fool!"

he roared with a blush on his face.

"You look down on me so much. I didn't do this for you!"

"Look at you, your face is red! It's so funny!"

Bellemel smoked a cigarette and laughed at him, while Nami laughed while hugging the book.

"And Ila is here too."

She looked at Ira beside Nami.

"Hello, sister Bellemere~"

Ila greeted obediently.

……

Kensuke fled in despair.

"Bellemere, I'm sorry!"

As soon as Kensuke left, Nami immediately smiled and apologized to Bellemere.

"But, I really want this book!"

"If you really want it that bad—"

Bellemare's expression became serious.

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Idiot Nami! If it were me! I would steal something better."

With a red forehead tied under her soft blue curly hair, wearing light cyan overalls and a dark blue shirt, the girl with wheat-colored skin was full of energy and poked her head out of the door.

"Nogigao, you can't steal it!"

Nami made a face at her.

Boom!Boom!

"It hurts!!"

"I'm just joking!"

Nami and Nokigao screamed while holding their heads in their hands.

"No more stealing!"

Bellmer crossed his arms and blew out a puff of smoke.

"I've saved some money, enough to buy you a book! Forget it this time, but you can't do this again next time, do you hear me?"

"..."

Nami curled her lips unwillingly.

"understood."

However, at this moment.

"But that money should be used for other purposes!"

Nokigao suddenly spoke.

"Nami stepped on a wooden board yesterday, and the glass was almost shattered."

Nami turned red and shouted angrily.

"Hateful! The glass thing was done by a bird! Why should I be blamed!"

"That's a news bird! Why did you steal its newspaper!"

The two people in front of them refused to give in to each other, and they were arguing so much that their foreheads were almost touching. Ira looked left and right, and suddenly blinked.

There are indeed radial cracks on the glass on the right side of the door.

"Well...this house is too old and needs to be repaired."

Bellemel pondered for a while and looked to the other side, and Tata Tot came back to his senses just in time.

"How about nails, glass and paint? Have they arrived?"

"Well, this -"

After groping around on his body, Tata Tot took out a small spray can from his trouser pocket.

"[Super Alloy Tinting Spray]."

As the Tata Tot shook up and down, a clear and crisp impact sound of 'click, click, click' came from the spray can.

"This one is better to use. It can reinforce anything and can be used as paint. It also has a refreshing fragrance and is not pungent..."

"It makes sense, then I want this."

Bellmeier interrupted his introduction and agreed readily without any questioning.

"how much is it?"

"Inheritance of one hundred thousand beli."

Tata Tot quoted a price.

"It's so expensive!"

Nami immediately spoke loudly.

"It's too expensive!"

"Nails, glass and paint..."

The tired young man tilted his head and sighed helplessly.

"These all add up to about the same."

"But, this is just such a small jar..."

Rubbing his chin with his fingers, Nokigao slowly circled around him.

"This little jar will last a long time, and it says-"

Tata Tot patiently pointed out the small words on the bottle to Nokigao.

"[Anything that has been sprayed will be as hard as sea rock]"

"This is false propaganda~false propaganda!"

Nuoqi was bargaining aggressively.

"There's no way it's really that hard!"

"Then let me try it out for you."

The nozzle was pointed at a clump of grass on the ground, and Tata Tot tried to spray it, but he suddenly thought of something, stopped first and asked.

"After using it... you won't have to reduce the price, right?"

"of course!"

Nami inserted her waist and spoke confidently.

"Second-hand goods, of course they are cheaper."

"..."

After looking at her steadily for a while, he then looked at Bellemere who was smiling and smoking. Even Ila looked down at her toes, and Tata Tot said slowly.

"Seventy thousand beli."

Nami counter-offered without thinking.

"Seven hundred Baileys."

"Sixty thousand Baileys."

"Six hundred Baileys."

"Fifty thousand Baileys..."

"Five hundred Baileys."

"..."

Tata Tot looked even more exhausted and held his forehead.

"I said...how can you bargain like this..."

"Fifty thousand beli."

Putting down the cigarette in his hand, Bellmeier made the final decision.

"That `s a deal!"

……

In the end, Tata Tot went home alone.

"Ila, remember to go home early, I'm going back to cook."

After walking a few steps, Tata Tot turned around and warned him uneasily.

"Remember! Go home early!"

"Uh-huh!"

Behind him, Ila nodded vigorously.

After Tata Tot left.

"Nami, Nokigo, good job!"

Bellemare smiled and clapped his hands.

“Let’s eat omelette rice tonight!”

"Oh oh~!"

Nokigao and Nami raised their hands and cheered.

"Omelet rice~omelet rice~!"

"Nami, seafood fried rice."

Ila reminded her when she saw this.

"I almost forgot! Tata Tot's seafood fried rice!"

Nami was suddenly startled and found herself in a dilemma.

"Haha! You can really buy everything."

Bellemel shook the [Super Alloy Color Spray] in his hand.

"However, I have never seen him purchase any goods."

At this moment.

Nami was chatting with Ila, and Nokigao also came closer.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

"You can tell what kind of person he is just by looking at that guy's eyes."

Taking another puff of cigarette, Bellmeier couldn't help but laugh.

"I still remember what that guy looked like when we first met."

……

Seven years ago, Donghai, Cocoa West Village.

Bellemere, who was seriously injured, retired from the navy and returned to his hometown, bringing back a little girl holding a baby.

In Dr. Nagao's clinic, the villagers visiting her were silent.

"What did you just say? You bad girl!"

Reaching out to straighten the big-brimmed hat on his forehead, Kensuke looked serious.

With bandages tied horizontally and vertically on his head, Bellemere, who had just recovered from his injury, sat up from the hospital bed.

In her arms, she held a baby who was wrapped in a small blanket, with his mouth open, his tongue slightly rolled, and his face like a red apple, sleeping soundly.

His right hand gently pressed the shoulder of the uneasy little girl in front of him.

"I said I want to be the mother of these two children!"

"Oh! No no no!"

The villagers who had known each other since childhood held their heads in shock, unable to believe that these were the words that Bellemere would say.

"Stop joking, this is no joke, you have to think clearly...!!"

"It's so noisy! I have made up my mind! I will raise these two children!"

Bellmere closed her eyes and roared, and Nozhigao looked at her blankly.

"I'm an adult now. I know what I'm doing and I'm confident that I can do it!"

"I will take responsibility for these two children! I will raise them to grow up and be a person who can keep up with the trend of the times!"

Everyone was frightened by her momentum and leaned back. Seeing this, Bellemere wanted to say something in one breath, but was interrupted by a sudden voice from outside.

"Hahahahaha...!"

Happy laughter from far to near.

Bang!

A man with unshaven beard and disheveled hair paused on the threshold.

"Ila called me daddy~! She stood up to look for me and called me daddy~!"

After stumbling, he held up the pink-haired baby in his hand and shook it excitedly.

Doctors, villagers, Kensuke, Bellemere, and even three-year-old Nozhiko also looked over.

"Ira, call me daddy again..."

The man is still immersed in his own joy.

"Or do you want to try taking two more steps..."

The baby, holding its fingers in its mouth, looked at the person staring at it in confusion and curiosity, and kicked its legs hard in the air twice.

"I knew it--"

The man's voice became excited. Just as he was about to put down the baby in his hands, he suddenly met everyone's surprised and confused gazes.

His hands were frozen in the air, and he and everyone looked at each other, and his expression gradually became sober.

Just now.

In Bellemere's arms, another baby present, one-year-old Nami, was finally awakened by the continuous noise.

She saw Kensuke very close at first sight, and was obviously frightened for a moment. She tried her best to blink, but Kensuke still didn't disappear.

"Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Loud cries suddenly echoed in the clinic.

"I mean...you know, Ira called daddy..."

After waking up, the man was a little at a loss.

"I just wanted to share it with someone, uh..."

The man holding the child quickly disappeared through the door.

"Excuse me, bye."

"Whoa whoa whoa...!"

The other little guy seemed to be infected. The cry of a baby was also heard outside the door, and a man was busy trying to comfort him.

"Look! Your favorite pygmy beast!"

The crying subsided, and the man who cheered up continued his efforts.

"Pygmymon has evolved! It directly evolves into [Tianxiang Vdramon]!"

"..."

The crying stopped for a moment, and then suddenly increased by an octave.

"Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"[Ultimate Vdramon]!! Isn't that enough... [Ultimate Vdramon·Future Form]...!!"

The sounds of distress and crying gradually fade away...

For a moment, the only sound in the clinic was Nami's cries.

"Who is that!"

Bellemere came to her senses, she hugged Nami tightly and was the first to speak out.

"He's Tata Tot."

Seeing Nami's crying getting louder and louder, Kensuke backed away helplessly under Bellemere's glare and replied.

"I just came to Cocoyasi Village not long ago. I am a businessman who runs a grocery store."
