[One Piece] Almighty staff

Sakaski applied to become the guardian of Leah and Lili, responsible for taking care of the siblings until Leah's legal age of majority. Leah said that... she couldn't understand.

It is not uncommon for the navy to apply for guardianship or even go through adoption procedures in order to take care of the orphans of colleagues and friends.When a dear friend dies, it's understandable to want to take care of the other's children.If it was Diana or Degier who wanted to apply for guardianship, Leah had no doubts at all.

But... Sakarski?

Leaving aside Wei An, who has absolutely nothing to do with the lieutenant general, even Galen, who goes to the front line all year round and never stays at home, has nothing to do with Sakaski.

It is true that she really wants to hug the golden thigh of the future Admiral of the Navy very much, but she just hopes that Sakaski can save her and Lili's life, and hug her thigh to the present position... There will be no pie in the sky of.

Lili lay in the stroller all morning and refused to stay in it no matter what.But look around Sakalski's office... a vice admiral's office has no decorations.

A heavy and large black square desk was placed on the mahogany floor, and a few solid wood chairs were placed against the wall by the door. There is no way to hide the monotony of the entire space... Mr. Adjutant is also racking his brains not to be so rude in hospitality.And Leah also has a new understanding of Sakalski's lack of awareness of life interest.

Leah had no choice but to spread off-white baby crawling mats in one corner of the office, with patterns of toy boats and cartoon small fish drawn on them, and spread out to occupy half of the office, which was clearly separated from Sakalski's desk on the other half. Divide the two worlds.

When buying a stroller, the clerk enthusiastically recommended: This is a very lightweight foam-feeling floor mat. It can be laid out in the room so that babies can crawl around and play freely, and it can be folded up at any time when cleaning is required.When stacked, the area is only the size of a tile, so it is very portable, so it can also be taken out at a picnic.

So this mat later became one of Leah's gifts.She was quite satisfied with the first use and decided to repurchase if necessary.

Lili twisted the jigsaw puzzle into twists, and waved his hands triumphantly in front of his sister, babbling for praise. Liya hugged him in her arms and kissed his chubby face, praising: "What did our baby do?" Huh? Looks really interesting, Lilly is awesome!"

Zefa left the gray polka-dotted cushion almost immediately and joined them after politely asking. He took off his shoes and stepped on the cushion. Lili crawled over and violently hit his toe with a Tangram.

Zefa lowered his head indifferently: "Huh?"

Liya observed for a while, and suddenly realized: "He likes to look at small boats. Mr. General, please step on the fish and don't step on the boat."

After Zefa stopped stepping on the boat pattern, Lili lived in peace with him graciously, and even rarely chatted with him while breaking the jigsaw puzzle.You must know that he usually doesn't even like Digill.

Lili didn't seem to need special care, so Leah was dragged out by Sakalski.

Now Ryan is sitting next to her, and Sakalski is sitting across from the desk. A triplicate application form is placed in front of each of them. The atmosphere is very serious and the scene is very formal.

Zefa sat on the other side of the office teasing the children, and Lili giggled excitedly. Zefa's voice of "Yoxi yoxi" coaxing the children came, and the atmosphere was inexplicably warm and the scene was extremely peaceful.

Facing Sakalski's hard face, Leah is in Cao Ying and her heart is in Han.

Ryan: "Although it is true that the government does not need to follow the Navy's regulations too much, but as the Navy and its family members, it is best to complete this process at the notary office, and that place is not far away, isn't it? The second floor..."

Sakaski: "He was originally a government academic researcher sent by the government to the Naval Science and Medical Department, but later he and his aristocratic family were torn apart because of a politically arranged marriage, so he was suppressed by the family and refrigerated. The Navy worked."

Leah: "Hey, is it because you want to elope with your current wife?"

Ryan: "How do you know... ah, my wedding ring... Well, things are actually much more complicated than Lieutenant General Sakarski said, but you are still young, so it doesn't matter if you don't know so much. The important thing is that I Although I work for the Navy, I still belong to the government in terms of identity, and I will save you a lot of trouble by being a guarantor. That is to say, it’s not that I don’t want to join the military, but the government doesn’t…”

Sakarski: "The same can be said. His wife, like you, is the orphan of a naval martyr. According to the protection agreement, her name cannot be revealed."

Leah: "Hey~ Elope, Mr. Military Doctor is such a romantic person."

Ryan was silent for a while, and there was no expression on his face with a thick beard. He cleared his throat: "It's getting late, I will perform the guarantor's responsibility first, and read the guardian's obligation..."

Leah: "Mr. Military Doctor, your neck and ears are so red."

Ryan: "..."

Leah: "Mr. Military Doctor really likes his wife."

Ryan took out the video phone bug: "Anyway, anyway, I, I started to record the whole process..."

Sakaski got up, reached out to hold down the sleeping phone bug, stared into Ryan's eyes and said lightly: "Don't waste this time, just record the key part."

Leah felt that Ryan's expression suddenly froze.

Ryan looked solemn: "Let's go through the process. Lieutenant General Sakaski, Miss Lia Nobio, please allow me to introduce myself first. My real name is Rididuka Entis Zubaisarin , born in... ah, it hurts."

Lili's jigsaw puzzle was accurately thrown to the back of Ryan's head from the other side, and Leah quickly put the jigsaw puzzle away: "I'm sorry, Mr. Military Doctor, are you okay? Lili! My sister said you can't throw things around! The toys are confiscated, you can no longer play jigsaw puzzles today!"

Lili could understand Liya's tone of reproach. Liya seldom criticized him in front of outsiders. In the past two or three months, because Liya had no time to discipline him, the little Lili, who was a little bit proud of his favor, immediately spit bubbles in disbelief. Ah yelled, Leah narrowed her eyes dangerously, and Zefa immediately picked him up with his chubby hands like a peacemaker: "Boys should be independent early, Sarah, let's learn to walk."

Sakaski knocked on the table with the video phone bug, and drew Leah's attention back: "Let me just say it again. Your father is a military general, and your mother is also an internal staff member of the Naval Hospital. As a child of a martyr, The military will not neglect you, so the arrangement will arrange for people in the navy to apply for your guardianship, but..."

The Vice Admiral paused very delicately for a few seconds.

"But the government will definitely stand in the way, and you can't know why. What you can know is that what happened in the market this morning was not a coincidence, and it won't be the last time."

Liya trembled her eyelashes and lowered her eyelids, looking worried.

Sakarski pushed the application in front of her lightly: "The application for guardianship is also for your safety. For this reason, the military needs your voluntary recording and signature to deal with the government's difficulties. Those who are arranged to apply for guardianship The person is me, if things go well, if the government takes action against you again, it will be an attack on the military family members, and I will have the right to investigate and even question you. In order to avoid this situation, the government will most likely not take extreme measures against you again."

Leah stretched out her hand from under the table, pressed it on the application form, and silently stared at the form options on it.

Although Sakarski clearly said "you can't know", he told her the following information in a disguised form: [-], the relationship between the government and the navy is not good; If the navy's application for custody is agreed, the government will continue to attack her and Lili, but as long as she agrees, as one of the most powerful lieutenant generals in the headquarters, Sakaski will grant them asylum.

and the following hints:

You are the children of the Navy;

The navy is your reliance, and the world government has no good intentions for you;

Your father's death has something to do with the government;

I am strong and I can protect you.

This is a very basic colloquialism, and the inductiveness is obvious.It’s similar to when you go shopping for clothes, the shopkeeper strongly recommends you a coat that looks beautiful and comfortable, and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally belittles the shop opposite, saying that the shop on the other side sells inferior goods, and will force you to pass by. Buy strong sell.But if you apply for their membership card and the other party dares to buy and sell you by force, they will help you get out and call the other party back.

However, he doesn't tell you how much it costs to get a membership card.

Although it is not a very clever technique, it is enough to deal with an 11-year-old girl who has just experienced the death of her parents.

Sakaski clasped his hands on the table. He looked straight into Leah's clear blue eyes and said in a low tone, "Based on your family background and current situation, I hope you can agree to the military's proposal. Please trust the navy."

Zefa's calm voice came from behind Leah: "Sakaski, you've said enough, let her judge for herself."

Liya glanced back, Lili seemed to be a little listless on the cushion, and sat there groaning, refusing to move any more.

Liya knew he was sleepy, but Lili wanted to drink milk powder before going to bed.Leah apologized to Sakasky: "Excuse me, Mr. Lieutenant General, Mr. Military Doctor, please stop for a while, I will be back soon."

The hot water bottle and milk powder were under the stroller. Liya took out the things, and Lili snuggled up to her and watched quietly, his big eyes blinking sleepily.

Liya tested the temperature, handed the bottle to Lili's anxiously outstretched arms, hugged him and gently coaxed him.Lili sucked on the pacifier and slowly closed his eyes. Liya patted his back lightly while lowering her eyes to think.

Guardian application... ah.

What kind of image has Sakalski presented to her so far?

He really can't speak, and he doesn't take into account other people's feelings. He often looks very unreasonable.But he easily accepted Liya, whom he met for the first time, to stay overnight at his house, and would set foot in a residential market that he had never been to for Liya's request. He also dutifully protected Lili and was willing to hold her when her legs were weak. .

Not perfect, but kind and reliable.

The young Admiral Akainu was softer than she imagined and remembered.His skin is hotter than ordinary people, his shoulders are wider than her two heads, his muscles are tight and hard, his heartbeat is strong and steady... When he hugged her, he was like a real father, With broad arms and a reassuring masculinity.

She almost really fell in love with him, after all, he is really masculine.

If he hadn't decided to pull her into a bigger political fight and try to stoke her hatred for the government.

it's a pity.

The age of majority announced by the world government is eighteen, but the permitted age for marriage is sixteen.The former applies to the nobility, the latter is the reality of the common people.

Liya is eleven years old this year. In seven years, how much can her status as an "orphan of a martyr" be enough to do?Lili is not yet one year old, he is a healthy boy, he still doesn't understand anything, he has strong plasticity... So what kind of variables will happen in the 17 years before he becomes an adult?

Noble children are pampered and protected by aristocratic families. Liya does not have such a family, nor does she have parents who can pamper her, so she chooses to be a commoner, and her ambition to be lost in the crowd is not promising, but it is safe.It also allows her to raise Lili to grow up safely.

Leah thought, it would be better for her to be a commoner.

Gallon died for the Navy, and no matter what took his life, it's the Navy itself that should clean up the mess.As a member of the military, Liya felt that she and Lili had no idea of ​​revenge, and the other didn't understand anything, so what's the use of counting on them?What's the point of implying that she is hostile to, or even hates, the world government?

Zefa touched Lily's cheek and gently took the emptied bottle out of his mouth.He helped Lia carry Lili to the stroller, and covered Lili's belly with a baby blanket.

Liya thanked her with a smile, her dimples looming, well-behaved and cute.

Zefa seemed to think for a while before speaking to her: "Don't think too much about what Sakalski said, but in your current situation, I suggest you agree to this proposal."

Based on the current situation that Liya and Lili will be kidnapped when they walk on the road in broad daylight, without considering more complicated factors, Sakaski is willing to take the initiative to be responsible for the safety of the siblings, which is indeed similar to a pie in the sky great thing.

So Liya smiled even brighter: "Well, that's right~"

The body is the capital of revolution.Life is the root of revolution.It's better to save your life first, and then think about how to make a revolution.

Ryan: "In fact, the current application process has long since ceased to be complete. The males are so thin-skinned that they are going to die... But just in case, let's prepare it all at once. Sarah, Lieutenant General Sakarski, follow me read--"

"...I promise, I will be your family;"

Sakaski: "..."

Ryan: "Huh? What's the matter? Read?"

When Sakalski raised his eyes, Leah looked at him with her head upright and her eyes sparkling.

Sakalski: "...I promise, I will be your...family."

Ryan: "I promise, I will accompany you until you can live independently;"

Sakarski: "I promise, I will accompany you until you can live independently;"

Ryan: "Until then, I will protect you unconditionally, guard you, and love you;"

Sakaski: "..."

Ryan: "I promise, I will be your partner, roll and play with you when you are young, and talk with you all night when you grow up;"

Sakaski: "..."

Ryan: "No matter how the vortex outside the door of justice changes, integrity, bravery, and independence are eternal excellent qualities. I promise that I will teach you these and become an excellent person."

Sakalski: "The vortex beyond the gates of justice will not change."

Zefa: "Just read it."

……

Ryan sorted out the materials, and went to the notary office on the second floor to submit the application with Sakalski.Liya and Lili stayed in the office to wait for the results.

Sakaski can't stay in the headquarters for a few days. He is now in a critical period of accumulating military merits, and he won't have much time to stay in Marlin Vandor in the next two years.For his situation, the military usually takes special measures, and it only takes one afternoon to get permission for a guardianship application.

Liya looked at Lili's heartless sleeping face and sighed deeply.

If it wasn't for such a small thing, she wouldn't bother to think so much.

Liya has never raised a child, but she also knows that it is not enough to simply let Lili grow up alive, she has to raise a child, which is equivalent to shaping a personality from scratch.What is the right thing to do, which way to go is really good for Lili... Liya has no idea.Nor could she count on Sakalski.

"I'm sorry, Lili, I made the decision for you without authorization. If Mr. Lieutenant General is a bad person, don't blame my sister."

Liya poked Lili's cheek and muttered softly.

"Don't worry, at least Sakaski is a person who keeps his promises. What he promised will be done without violating the principles."

Zefa went out and brought a bottle of juice for Leah and a pack of biscuits for Lily.

Zefa: "Here, teething biscuits. This kid is teething."

Unexpectedly, the teacher would hear bad things about Sakaski, so Liya could only smile shyly: "Thank you, Mr. General."

Zefa's big hand patted Leah's back comfortingly: "No matter what, since he agreed, he will protect you. I think Leah will be a good sister, so don't worry too much. If you need help, you can come to Find me, I'll leave you the number of the private phone bug."

Although she felt that this was a bit thick-skinned, Liya accepted Zefa's kindness with gratitude, and said to him when Sakaski came back: "Mr. General is the teacher of Mr. Lieutenant General. If Mr. Lieutenant General is right If Liya and Lili are not good, I will sue the general."

Zefa promised: "I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Sakaski didn't respond, and picked up Lili's stroller and vegetable basket: "Let's go."

Leah waved Zefa goodbye politely on Sakalski's shoulder.

Leah has a crush on Zefa.In addition to the preconceived impression points, Zefa is too friendly to her and Lili. From the beginning of the meeting, this man has a gentle smile on his face most of the time. Even Lili likes him so much. It is hard for Liya not to think that He is a good man.

So even if he mistook the dog teething stick for a baby teething biscuit, Leah was reluctant to break it.

And look at the ingredients, carrot oat chicken breast or something...

Leah thought for a moment.

After roasting and making a cup of hot tea, Sakaski would not refuse afternoon tea snacks, would he?
