[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【sixteen】

Just as Andrea expected, Whitebeard's actions were not without purpose.

He went directly to find Ace... In addition to receiving the news of Andrea's appearance at that time, there was also a reason why he wanted to find Ace in the first place.

Because...Portcas D. Ace is the son of Roger, the Pirate King.

Andrea was shocked when she suddenly learned about this. After all, according to her understanding of the world government and the navy's style, it is definitely impossible to let Roger's descendants continue to live.

But she would definitely not question Whitebeard's judgment, and after a little thought, she suddenly understood something - why Whitebeard wanted to ask for asylum, and why the Navy would directly invite a new person to become a Shichibukai.

"Father, do you think highly of him?"

"A pretty interesting kid, isn't he?"

"It seems that I am very optimistic about it... I always feel a little jealous."

"Hahahahaha! He is far behind compared to you!"

Although Andrea said she was jealous, she didn't really feel dissatisfied. On the contrary, she was actually quite happy - because Ace was the youngest on the ship.

Although Andrea's qualifications in the Whitebeard Pirates are very old, she was only 15 years old when she boarded the ship. The people who came up behind her were either older than her, or they had older faces than hers. It was rare to find someone whose age and appearance matched hers, so she was naturally happy.

On the other hand, Portcas D. Ace himself refused to change his calling him sister, because he felt that he was the only one on the ship who called him sister, and he felt like he was the real brother.

And his character is indeed very stubborn - you must know that he still challenged Whitebeard a hundred times, and only after other members of the White Group influenced him did he finally willingly stay in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"I won't call you that!" Ace refused the change for the 11th time, "And I have a younger brother..."

Then, Ace started talking about his precious brother.

Andrea was surprised that he actually had a younger brother, and she found out after asking if he was his biological brother.

It's just... After Ace, the obvious younger brother, talked about her younger brother, Andrea began to notice something was wrong - why did this character sound so familiar?

Thinking back to the information she saw, Ace was born in the East China Sea...Andrea asked hesitantly: "Your brother...couldn't he be called Luffy?"

Ace, who was still some distance away from Andrea, his eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his hands to support the side of the boat and jumped up to sit next to Andrea. His whole attitude was completely different from the first: "You know me?" Luffy?"

"It's not that I know him... I heard Shanks mention it once. Ah, Shanks is my friend." Andrea laughed after finishing speaking, "It seems that you and your brother must have a very good relationship."

"Yeah!" Ace responded with a big smile, now looking like a 17-year-old boy.

【Seventeen】

After talking about Luffy, the relationship between the two became closer.

Andrea has been spending a lot of time on the ship recently, and the crew is very happy. However, Whitebeard will occasionally curse, saying that this smelly girl is taking too much care.

Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates was not surprised by this.

"It's really going to be different when Leah comes back..."

"Yes, dad scolds me like that every time, but in the end he will still do what Leah says."

"Hahahaha, only Leah can do it." As Sachi replied, he saw Ace looking over here and said specifically, "Did you know? Ace, on this ship, there are Two iron rules!”

Someone next to me was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Isn't it Ichijo?"

"You must never hurt your companions, right?" Ace was also stunned for a moment, "Is there a second rule?"

Saatchi's expression also became solemn, as if he was warning the other party of some serious fact: "The second rule is - you must not make Leah angry."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else nodded solemnly.

"Yeah yeah."

"This is a fact."

"It's really scary for Leah to be angry."

"I'm the type who wants to be obeyed even by my father."

Ace was still a little confused after hearing this. He recalled his experience of being defeated and asked curiously: "She is quite powerful...but does daddy also want to listen to her?"

"That's of course! But Lia does that because she cares about her father..."

"Don't worry, Ace, Leah won't get angry easily. She will only be angry because we underestimate her." Sachi went over and patted the other party's shoulder and smiled, "After all, we are disliked and abandoned by the world. He’s a person...but Andrea can’t listen to such words.”

"Yes, she insists on saying that she is a noble, she all likes us, and she can represent the world better. Then she says that we are such a big family and have such a prestigious reputation at sea, and she will beat her if she is abandoned. We...ah, she really beat her up from behind."

"In this regard, he is quite arrogant like an aristocrat."

"I mean, it's too arrogant."

A group of people were talking about accusations and complaints, but the smiles on their faces were getting bigger and bigger. He didn't look angry, and a little proud. The conversation continued, and even started to compare with "Who took longer to scold Leah?"

Ace was speechless after seeing this, and turned to look at Thatch: "Is there really such a second rule?"

Sage gave him a thumbs up: "I made it up!"

Ace: "..."

"Hahahaha! But this is indeed recognized by everyone!" Sachi laughed, "You will know it later! You must not make Leah angry..."

"What are you angry about?" When Andrea came in, she heard such a meaningless sentence and frowned, "Did you do anything to make me angry?"

A group of people who were laughing and standing unsteadily immediately sat upright and shook their heads together.

Andrea glanced at them suspiciously, but did not go into details. Instead, she went to the storage room and called out: "Tich, Sachi, come here to help move things. I want to see if father has any." Secretly hiding wine.”

The faces of the group of people changed, and they immediately started whispering to each other.

"It's over. Dad will definitely be scolded."

"Lia is very filial, so dad will not be scolded, but we who helped hide the wine will definitely be scolded."

"I also want Leah to scold me..."

"What the hell is this guy talking about? Everyone, beat him up!"

Andrea didn't know that Sage was secretly arranging her and giving Moby-Dick an extra rule.

After she came back from the fight with Hawkeye this time, she basically stayed on the Moby-Dick.

Firstly, although she had only been away for a few days, it was seven years to everyone. Although these people did not say it, they looked at her eagerly from time to time, clearly with reluctance;

Secondly...it's because of Ace.

Ace's identity is sensitive, and as the person with the highest political sensitivity on the ship, it can even be said that her political sensitivity is ranked among the best in the world because of the high number of idiots in this world. Andrea always has a different feeling. It was such a good hunch that I decided to keep it under control for a while.

Andrea's daily life is actually quite simple, even a little busy.

She has never had to do chores, ever since she was a child - this is not only because the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates doted on her, but also because... although this guy is not squeamish and has full survival skills, she demands A bit much, including the chores.

And... if she is involved, then Dad really has no chance to hide the wine.

Of course, not doing small things means that she wants to do big things.

Just like the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates is basically all non-franchised countries, Whitebeard's flag is meant to protect rather than occupy... Because of this, there are still some arrogant people who occasionally come to cause trouble.

After all, we are all pirates and are used to plundering.

At this time, it was Andrea who came out to deal with the aftermath - she would teach the people based on the characteristics of each island how to better defend themselves against pirates, and how to ask for help if there was an emergency.

If it weren't for the constraints, she would even want to build a base station so that all of Whitebeard's territories could have direct phone calls.

However, it is true that after being managed by Andrea, the island not only became more prosperous than before, but also had fewer pirate troubles. Of course, those in real trouble will still need help.

At this time, Andrea regrets that the phone bug has limited functions.

If it weren't for the fact that even if the phone bugs from the Navy snatched it, it would be a dedicated line that they couldn't use. Andrea would even snatch it from there.

And apart from these daily routines...

"Leah is indeed very powerful...she should be dad's heir, right?" Marshall Teach sighed with emotion while drinking.

Sachi, who had the best relationship with him, patted him: "What kind of heir is there but not an heir? We are all one family!"

"Hahahaha, just talking casually. Because Leah is indeed very powerful!" Marshall Teach looked at the other person after laughing, "Congratulations on becoming the captain of the second division, Ace!"

"Is it really okay? Teach, are you more senior than me?" Ace asked as he stuffed meat into his mouth.

Marshall Teach was still laughing when he heard this: "Hahahaha, don't care! I don't have that ambition!"

Andrea heard such a sentence as soon as she came in, and frowned secretly, but soon returned to her normal expression, and even put on a smile. After the group finished eating and dispersed, she went to Sachi and asked Said: "You and Teach discussed Devil Fruits before. He said that there are Devil Fruits that he really wants to get, right?"

【nineteen】

When Andrea started to pay attention in her heart, Portcas D. Ace, who became the captain of the second division, hesitated for a long time before going to Whitebeard and explaining his life experience.

Whitebeard, on the other hand, just drank by himself, with a nonchalant look on his face, and directly blocked the other person's mouth with the sentence "Everyone is a child of the sea."

As for the second Andrea who was informed by Ace...

"Oh, I know." Facing Ace's shocked expression, Andrea showed a puzzled expression, "Have you told your father? Why did you come to tell me?"

Ace was still in a daze: "Because... you are the heir."

"I'm not a pirate -" Andrea raised her hand to her forehead and let out a long sigh - she could vaguely see that Whitebeard had the intention of training her to be the heir.

She didn't want to refuse, she would even help Whitebeard if he chose another heir - after all, she saw that everyone would worry sometimes, and she had an inexplicable sense of mission that "this ship depends on me" Spontaneously.

She even had a sense of crisis many years ago and thought of many ways to deal with sudden crises - she had always known that the biggest enemy of the Whitebeard Pirates was not the pirates.

She didn't care at all about Ace's little awkwardness because of his biological father. She raised her hand and rubbed his head: "Your father is your father, and you are you. Instead of worrying about this, why don't you tell me what you just said Did he drink secretly when he went to find his father?"

Ace: "Uh...ah..."

For a moment, Portcas D. Ace was entangled in how to answer.

Of course, he would later understand that this experience was shared by everyone on this ship.

Since Ace confessed his life experience, he has looked much lighter. As the captain of the second division, he also created many achievements for the Whitebeard Pirates.

From Andrea's point of view, he is indeed more suitable for the position of captain than Marshall Teach, who is more senior and not weak in strength - he seems to be quite independent, but in fact he has a strong sense of collective honor.

And Andrea did not keep staring at Marshall Teach, but after realizing that he seemed to be paying attention to Devil Fruit, she also started to pay attention to it.

So, when Sage got a new Devil Fruit, Andrea reached out and asked for it: "I've been researching Devil Fruit recently, Sage, can you give me the fruit to study for two days first?"

One of the rules on the Moby-Dick is that whoever finds the Devil Fruit belongs to him. But if Andrea wanted it, she wouldn't eat it herself, and she wouldn't mind showing it to her.

Sa Qi did not doubt that he was there, and happily said: "Oh, okay."

Then, Andrea glanced at Marshall Teach, who was looking shocked in the corner, and his eyes widened even more.
