[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【fifty two】

Andrea fell into silence, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, Shanks is her trusted friend, and he was once one of Roger's crew members. Seeing that he is still wearing the straw hat said to be given to him by Roger, he knows that he has a close relationship with Roger. For depth. This can be judged especially from the tone of voice when she heard Shanks talk about Roger tonight.

After thinking about this, Andrea also relaxed a little from her tense state. She stared at Shanks, her tone vaguely threatening: "You won't tell anyone, right?"

"Hahahaha, that's for sure." Shanks laughed and returned to his usual tone and expression, "Speaking of which...does Ace know about this?"

"I plan to wait until he is ten years old before telling him. At that time, he will have stronger judgment...so don't say anything nonsense to Ace."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." After Shanks finished laughing, his expression softened a little, "But this way... it will be harder for you, Leah."

"Huh?" Andrea glanced at him, and after understanding the hidden meaning in his words, she also smiled, "He was originally my nephew, and now he is my son. It's not so much hard work as it is my simplicity. Just protecting my family."

It was already late today, and the two of them didn't talk much.

In fact, there was no need to say anything more. Basically, both of them knew what was left unsaid.

"Your pirate group has begun to take shape." After a period of silence, Andrea changed the topic, also feeling from the bottom of her heart - the three of them back then, Hawkeye and her, all liked to work alone. Lone Ranger, Shanks is the only one who wants to form a pirate group.

"Yeah, so Leah, do you want to join my pirate team?"

"I reject."

Andrea returned to the room and looked at the two children sleeping in a mess, with a faint smile on her face - Damn it! Sabo had been sleeping well before, but now he was infected by Ace!

She sighed helplessly, and went over to hug the two children, whose previous sleeping postures were completely unrecognizable, back to their normal sleeping postures. After covering them with quilts, she lay down on the bed next to her to rest.

A family of three who had no blood relationship here officially went to rest. On the other side, the red-haired pirate group was muttering.

It's not without reason that they are so gossipy... Although none of them have seen Sword Demon, they have more or less heard of each other's reputation. In particular, Shanks and Hawkeye have a good relationship. The two often spar and fight. After the fight, they start having banquets... and then Sword Demon is always mentioned.

Moreover, because both of them knew that Andrea didn't like the nicknames her friends called her, it was not like the two of them were calling each other "Red Hair" and "Hawkeye", but they both called Andrea "Lee". Ya".

This also laid a good foundation for the rumors that later became outrageous.

At this time, everyone in the red-haired pirate group just thought that Sword Demon, his captain and Hawkeye were very close friends. ——They didn’t know that this was the moment they were closest to the truth.

Then when the news came out that Sword Demon and Hawkeye had a child, Shanks looked surprised and muttered something like "It doesn't feel possible." Everyone just thought that this was their own captain. I didn't realize that my two friends were together.

Then, Shanks accidentally met Blackbeard Teach and was injured when fighting him. Later, he fought Hawkeye again, and it was still under the nose of Whitebeard, which also made Whitebeard leave a mark on these two people. I was deeply impressed... At this time, everyone was just competing for ideas.

Later, Shanks curiously asked about "that child", and saw that Hawkeye's habitually paralyzed expression suddenly became a little tangled, but he did not deny it... everyone just assumed that the rumor was indeed true. of.

It wasn't until later that they had to go to the East China Sea for some errands. They walked back from the New World and came to the Chambord Islands, where they learned about the fact that [Sword Demon himself said that he likes red hair].

In fact, this kind of gossip is only spread in private, but the person who was rejected by Andrea spread this matter in order to save his respect, and basically there are many pirates who just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. ——Especially because there is a certain lag in news about the pirate world. It was only after this incident broke out that the battle between Shanks and Hawkeye was spread.

The members of the red-haired pirate group were stunned and went to question their captain.

"Boss, what's going on?!"

"Boss, what's going on between you and Sword Demon!?"

"No, it's time to ask you three what's going on, right?!"

Shanks, after showing an unexpected expression, smiled back: "Yeah... Hahahaha, what's going on?"

Everyone: "..." Boss, are you pretending to be stupid? You are definitely pretending to be stupid this time, right?

The group thought there would be no follow-up to this matter...and then their eyes were opened today.

Because Sword Demon is not a pirate, but a well-known bounty hunter, there is no wanted notice, and there are only rumors about her appearance that she is a beauty. I saw it today, indeed.

Moreover, he does seem to have a good relationship with his captain.

But... wasn't it agreed that he would be a son? ! Why did it become two? !

A group of people looked at Sabo and Ace, deep in thought.

Fortunately, when Shanks and Andrea went to talk later, they helped keep an eye on Sabo and Ace. They also had a good impression of these two bold and thoughtful children, and they also liked to tease children.

Therefore, we learned that Ace is Andrea's son, but Sabo is not.

Meanwhile also……

"Huh? Mihawk is not my father." Ace gnawed on the apple and answered calmly, "This is what Leah's mother said. She said she would know when I grow up."

At this moment, the expressions of the group of people were like a bolt from the blue, each of them became solemn, and they gathered together to continue to ponder.

"So it's not Hawkeye yet!"

"So is it possible that he is the boss..."

"Idiot! The boss has red hair!"

"But Sword Demon has black hair!"

"...Ah, that's right."

Ben Beckman watched the group of people's speculations becoming more and more outrageous, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Just when he was about to interrupt, the Shanks was dragged away by Andrea by the collar. When he passed by them , and greeted them with a smile.

Beckman couldn't help but fell silent - oops, he hadn't asked Shanks, and suddenly felt that he couldn't rule out this possibility.

After thinking that this was not a big deal, Beckman finally ignored it and started chatting with Ace and Sabo.

The group of them got along quite well with these two children.

Because of this, on the second day, when Andrea once again pulled Shanks to continue their discussion, she left the child to them to take care of.

Then, this care was taken care of when something went wrong.

All of this stemmed from an unlucky guy's unintentional statement, "So Ace, your hair color is inherited from your mother, so your father's hair color can be any color."

Then Ace suddenly showed a stunned expression.

Although Ace doesn't like to use his brain very much, he is not brainless either. He remembered that his mother only clarified to him that Mihawk was not his father after she said she "liked red hair."

Then, Shanks has red hair;

Then, Shanks met his mother.

Ace always felt that he understood something, and ran to find Shanks with a solemn expression.

He was not a kid who was going to beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "Shanks, are you my father?"

He didn't expect that his captain's son would come to this conclusion. Shanks was stunned for a while before he realized why the other party had such an illusion... However, he also promised Andrea not to tell the truth, so he also had a rare opportunity. It got stuck.

Shanks: "Uh..."

He thought for a long time, then squatted down and said with a serious face: "I don't have to say this, your mother has the final say."
