[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【eighteen】

Andrea knew that this was an inevitable war.

The most important thing about the Whitebeard Pirates founded by Whitebeard Edward Newgate, the current King of the Sea and known as the Strongest Man in the World, is the concept of "family".

The Navy has decided to publicly execute Ace, the current captain of Whitebeard's second division. Whitebeard will definitely not give up.

The Navy is also well aware of this, so all naval forces are concentrated in Marineland, and all members are forced to summon the King's Shichibukai, just to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. Because Whitebeard is a veteran Yonko, with 1600 people on the main ship and 43 affiliated pirate groups, his power cannot be underestimated.

This is also a big gamble for the Navy - because they are actually not sure that they can beat Whitebeard.

But to a certain extent, the Navy has a great chance of winning this time - because they don't have to win. If Ace is successfully publicly executed, their goal will be achieved.

Ace is the son of Roger, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and a model of evil set by the Navy. This public execution was intended to establish the navy's authority and demonstrate its power and combat pirate forces.

To a certain extent, Andrea actually understood their approach from the navy's perspective.

Of course, understanding and agreeing are two different things.

"Although I don't know how Luffy got in or what he was doing... but the Navy is currently focusing its efforts on Ace." Andrea analyzed and made a decision, "Our manpower is limited. , it is very difficult to rob the prison, and the Navy will definitely keep a close eye on Ace before that...so the best way is to help when the Whitebeard Pirates appear."

"As for Luffy, he must want to go directly to save Ace, right?"

"Yes, that child's idea is so simple and direct..." Andrea's face became tangled as she spoke, "It's just that he is too unexpected, and it's completely unpredictable what will happen to him... so ,Saab, I’m afraid you will be required to monitor near Impel Down City by then.”

As a revolutionary army cadre, Sabo's ability to lurk and gather intelligence is still first-rate.

For such a task, Sabo also agreed: "I know, I will keep an eye on Luffy's side. In fact, there are also cadres of the Revolutionary Army inside Impel Down... Where are you, Mother Leia?"

When Andrea heard this title, she felt it was both pleasant and awkward at the same time - she finally called her mom instead of mom! But she felt that she was not used to it. Because I always feel that this title is a bit unfamiliar.

But that's not the point. We can't force children without memories to be the same as before. What's more, they have grown up, and maybe they will become a little unfamiliar even if they have memories.

It is already a good thing that the child still recognizes his mother.

"My word... don't worry." Andrea smiled and reached out to rub Sabo's head as she had done when she was a child. "I will find a way to connect with the Whitebeard Pirates."

【nineteen】

Andrea lied.

She actually had no idea how to get in touch with the Whitebeard Pirates, and she had no plan to do so.

After all, none of them knew him at all now. At most, they only saw his missing person notice in the newspaper and knew that Ace seemed to have a living mother.

At this time, even if she had information and rashly stepped forward, she would probably be regarded as a naval spy.

Andrea plans to go to Marineland alone.

Because...she can indeed do it.

Marinefando, Impel City, and Judicial Island are all important government locations and are surrounded by reverse vortices. Unless the navy opens the Gate of Justice, the ship will not be able to move forward.

Of course, none of these are obstacles for Andrea, who has the blessing of the sea.

It's just that...she definitely can't compete with the entire Navy Headquarters on her own.

Andrea was also secretly thinking about whether there was a way to deal with the upcoming public opinion of the Navy.

To this end, she has also made several filings, such as...

Filing 1.

Andrea: "You said that the revolutionary army cadre in Impel Down Prison was a hormone fruit that could change a person's gender, right? I said Ace was born with Lujiu after I became a man, not Roger. What do you think of the seed?"

Sabo: "Uh... I think the hormone fruit can only change the hormones in the body. It shouldn't have the function of allowing children to be born, right?"

Filing one, rejected. Start filing 2.

Andrea: "How about just saying that I'm actually a man?"

Sabo: "Isn't this kind of explanation a waste of time? I feel like it won't work."

Filing 2, throw it away. Modified to filing three.

Andrea: "Then let's rescue the revolutionary army cadre and let her transform me. I will appear as a man and claim to be Ace's biological father. How about that?"

Sabo sincerely suggested: "Mama Leah, I think you should just change the direction. It's not about whether you are right or not, but it depends on who the people will listen to."

Andrea: "Tsk."

Sabo: "..."

Naturally, the people would not believe a stranger who suddenly appeared, but would rather believe what the Warring States Marshal said. ——Andrea regrets giving up this direction.

Then she opened the second direction.

Andrea: "So... how about I say that I am the illegitimate daughter of the Warring States Period?"

Sabo: "Mother Leah, I really don't think there is anything more impactful than Ace being Roger's son. It won't work for you to take this path."

Andrea: "Damn it...then what if I say I'm Whitebeard's illegitimate daughter?"

Sabo: "Hahahaha, I feel like this will bring more trouble to Whitebeard!"

Andrea asked seriously, and Sabo also listened carefully and gave his true thoughts. After that, the two eliminated many useless proposals and began to act separately.

Then, Andrea picked up the right time and appeared in Marinefando.

Just three hours before Ace was to be publicly executed, Ace was pulled onto the execution platform of Malinfando.

The Warring States Marshal standing next to him held a telephone bug for amplification in his hand, with a seagull on his head, and he was preparing to announce the true life experience of Portcas D. Ace with a solemn expression.

After asking Ace to call out his father's name and denying Ace's answer of "Whitebeard", Sengoku sternly prepared to tell Ace's true life experience when a sudden change occurred.

"Wait a minute! Someone is coming!"

"Is it Whitebeard?!"

"No...it seems like there's only...one person?"

"Wait, is that person... walking on the sea?!"

"Is he a devil fruit user?!"

"People with fruit abilities are rejected by the sea, how can they do it... This is that, that..."

"As expected... I didn't expect to see a living Sora..."

"Hey! Don't be stupid! How can that be Sora!"

"Yes, that's the enemy..."

"Sora also has his seagull friends and robots!"

"...Is this the point?!"

【twenty】

Andrea held her sword and walked slowly on the sea.

Marines in neat uniforms were lined up in the huge Marineland. This time, in order to deal with Whitebeard, 100,000 elite members of the Navy were dispatched collectively, and all members of the King's Shichibukai were summoned, with great momentum.

Warring States narrowed his eyes, wary of the sudden appearance of this woman, but did not rashly order an attack.

So far, Whitebeard has not appeared, and the origin of this woman is unknown. Taking action hastily will put the navy at a disadvantage and lose the opportunity.

But the person who appeared here must be related to Portcas D. Ace... Sengoku glanced at Ace beside him, and when he noticed that the other person was looking over there with a stunned look on his face, full of disbelief. , I am a little more certain about this answer.

His announcement was interrupted, but he couldn't delay at this time, so Sengoku decided to ignore this woman whose abilities and origins were too mysterious for the time being, and continued to announce Ace's father's identity.

But he was interrupted mid-sentence.

Because the woman who had already reached the center of the bay also had a loudspeaker phone in her hand, she took over the conversation.

"I'm Ace's father... Oh no, I'm sorry, it's my first time to face so many people, I'm a little nervous... I'm Ace's mother!"

"...No, you're not." In this serious occasion, the originally envisioned picture and situation were somewhat ruined by this sudden interruption. Sengoku was speechless and refuted her at the same time, "Portcas ·d·Lujiu, that cunning woman tried her best to deceive the eyes of the world..."

"Ace is also an accident for Lujiu. What's wrong with her? She just wants to protect her children as a mother!"

"If she is not pregnant with the child of Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"

"Just because your navy is jealous and afraid of Roger, you want to kill all Roger's bloodline! Just because you have a little suspicion, you have to get rid of the babies and pregnant women on that small island! Is this your justice?"

"On this occasion, the mother who claims to be Ace appears. What is your purpose with weird abilities? Do you want to continue this sinful bloodline and this sin! Let Portcas D. Ace grow. , his qualifications will eventually make him..."

"Is the root cause of why people in this world can't survive really lie with pirates? Is what the navy has done really justice?" Andrea interrupted him and spoke quickly, "White Town The truth behind the destruction of Freifans! Why did O'Hara disappear? Are the Dracos really some kind of bullshit world aristocrats!"

"I am Lujiu's sister! I have also met Roger! I know the real reason why you are afraid of Roger! Warring States - I don't care how you arrange Roger. If you dare to continue to irritate Ace or maliciously speculate on my sister, I will You will shout loudly here the truth that you are most afraid of letting the world know!" Andrea said loudly, "If you want to start a war, just start a war! There is no need to use the name of justice!"

【twenty one】

Andrea had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Born in the Kingdom of Luknika, as the eldest daughter of a duke, and trained as a proper heir, she had long understood that if she wanted to make people forget a big news, she would have to cover her with another big news.

She even knew very well what Sengoku would do and probably what he would say - because she had seen too many people like Sengoku when she was a child, and she was basically in double digits.

She also knows very well what words can make the other party afraid - even if she doesn't know it very well except for Bai Zhen, she can say some specious things.

She knew that the best time for her to show up and confront each other was before Whitebeard came, and the most dangerous time was after she and Sengoku confronted each other but before Whitebeard came.

She is the only and best target.

This is a worldwide live broadcast, and before Whitebeard came, the Warring States Period would not have been able to interrupt the live broadcast so casually - because once it was interrupted, it would appear that they were guilty, and the purpose of this live broadcast would be invalid. .

As for the attacks she may encounter...

Andrea took a deep breath and concentrated on the changes on the navy side - it didn't matter, her protection was doomed to cause long-range attacks to fail. If the navy attacks her now because of what she said, then the navy will lose the opportunity, and it can also make the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates and the start of the war smoother...

Following her declaration of war, Sengoku hesitated for a moment. While thinking about how to get rid of this uninvited guest, he looked at the pirate ships gathering near Marinevando and was afraid of Whitebeard in the dark. , there have been some changes on the seabed.

Andrea stood there, not dodging the light bombs and magma volcanic bombs that came from the air. She only raised a slightly sarcastic smile and watched as all these attacks passed by and landed on her. side, but himself unscathed.

And it was also after this wave of attacks that there was movement on the sea surface beneath her feet, floating bubbles burst on the sea surface, and a huge pirate ship broke out of the bottom.

Andrea barely moved her position from standing on the sea to standing on the deck.

She raised her head and looked at the people standing next to her, showing a slightly delighted smile. After listening to Ace shouting "Dad" loudly from the other side of the execution platform, she was silent for a long time and realized something. , bowed to the tall figure standing beside him with a huge Cong Yunqi, and apologized very politely: "Well... I'm sorry, I am the sister of Ace's biological mother, and I am considered his adoptive mother, so I was here before By claiming to be his mother, I don’t mean to take advantage of you.”

White Beard glanced down at her without any change in his posture: "Humph, it doesn't matter."
