[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【seventy-nine】

Andrea had already seen the conflict between fish and humans when she was on Fish-Man Island.

After learning that many pirates would capture murlocs and mermaids for sale, she frowned even more, so she even taught some pirates a lesson and rescued some mermaids and mermaids. Some of them expressed gratitude to her, while others were dismissive and thought she was hypocritically hostile to all human beings. Andrea can understand the latter and will not change her attitude because of it.

Thinking about it this way, it is not so surprising that the fish-men were the first to challenge the highest authority.

Andrea went over to pick up the two naughty children who had fallen into the water, fed the tearful Blue two pieces of watery meat to appease her, and then led her two wet and depressed cubs back to the hotel to change clothes. .

The current climate in the Water City is quite good, but according to the weather report, the arrival of the Water Gods is coming soon, so Andrea simply plans to stay a few more days and wait for the Water Gods to leave before leaving.

The so-called water gods are actually annual tsunamis in the water capital. After every tsunami, you can harvest a large wave of sea salt - this is why Andrea wants to stay longer, so that you can stock up on a wave of sea salt!

And this tsunami was considered a disaster. Andrea also wanted to let Sabo and Ace experience the power of nature and have a little respect for the sea... Then she found that the two children were listening to her. After the sea salt can make more delicious dishes, I just marveled when the tsunami came. I didn't have any other thoughts. But I was particularly happy to help residents collect sea salt after the tsunami receded.

Andrea had no choice but to let nature take its course, and after helping the residents and being given a small bag of sea salt for each person, she went to visit Tom again.

Although……

"You have more children..."

"Uh...he is my adopted son. In short, don't worry about this kind of thing."

Tom remembers Andrea.

It had nothing to do with Andrea's name, but her unique temperament and behavior that impressed him deeply. Especially since the other party came here specially and brought gifts, and only asked about Roger's personality.

You must know that for some reasons, the World Government calls Roger the Pirate King and at the same time tries its best to exaggerate that he is a cruel and evil person. It is almost a typical type. Many people directly regard him as a devil type. It is rare for people who don't know Roger to be curious about Roger as a person.

But this time, Andrea came over simply to visit Tom.

Tom also regarded her as a little friend, accepted the gift of East China Sea specialties from her, and chatted with her.

"When Andrea comes here next time, you can take the sea train and travel smoothly!" Tom laughed.

"That's great! I will definitely come and take a ride!" Andrea was looking forward to it. After she finished speaking, her expression changed subtly, and she hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Sea Train's The credit...should be able to offset your current guilt, Mr. Tom, right?"

"Maybe." Tom looked quite open-minded, "Of course, if you can live, it's best to live resoundingly, hahahaha!"

Andrea: "..." The world's number one shipwright is really quite open-minded... Ah, subtly, he feels a bit like Roger himself. Is that why they became friends?

Andrea naturally couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, especially since she knew that there were still people secretly watching Tom. She was not afraid of getting into trouble, but she was worried that she might bring trouble to Tom himself by asking too many questions.

So, she directly changed the topic and asked if the other party had any recommended boat builders - since she now has an extra child and plans to go to the North Sea in the future, it seems that there will be a long trip, so the previous boats seem a bit... It was shabby and she wanted to renovate and expand it.

This was naturally no problem for Tom, and he enthusiastically recommended his apprentice Bingshan. And he also specially called Bingshan to introduce him as a middleman.

Bingshan is about the same age as Andrea, and he seems to be quite calm. After taking the job, he said that he would work hard and asked Andrea to wait patiently for a week.

Andrea was not in a hurry, so she waved her hand to indicate that it was okay to delay, and then continued to wander around the Water Capital with Sabo and Ace.

The Water City is a gathering place for shipbuilding technicians and an important transit point for pirates - after all, for pirates, pirate ships are as important as swordsmen's swords.

Because of this, the island is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, but few people cause trouble - everyone is still wary, their own ship is very important, and the shipbuilding technicians who have been dealing with pirates all year round are not vegetarians.

Andrea was curious because she read in the newspaper about the fish-man Tiger attacking Mary Joa, and planned to go to the tavern to hang out and listen to other people's attitudes. As for Sabo and Ace... they were very curious about the iceberg's transformation of their own ship, so they stayed there and watched.

Andrea observed for a while, and after confirming that they didn't cause any trouble other than jumping up and down, and that Bingshan didn't mind being watched, she left with peace of mind to find out the news.

And this trip also paid off.

Unexpectedly, it may be because the taverns in the Water City are dominated by pirates. Although there is also discrimination against fishmen, and many pirates are also engaged in human trafficking, most people have no regard for Mariejoia and the Celestial Dragons. I have a favorable impression, so the evaluation of Tiger's attack on Mary Joa and the release of the slaves is still mostly positive.

...Although there are some people in this group who are clamoring, "You can make a lot of money by catching the escaped Effort near Mariejoia now."

Andrea left the tavern with satisfaction after hearing someone say that the fishman Tiger had gathered other fishmen to form the Sun Pirates.

She had already gotten the most important news - it seemed that Fisher Tiger was acting with long-term plans and goals.

With such a good mood, she was still on her way to pick up her little cub, and dealt with a few pirates who were chasing a black-haired girl.

The pirates who were dragged into the river by swords wanted to scream at first. After discovering Andrea's identity, one of them yelled "Sword Demon", and then the three pirates who were still yelling immediately fell silent. Plunge into the water and swim away in perfect unison.

Andrea was amazed by what she saw on the shore - even though she was used to the diversity of people in this world, the pirates who quickly fell to their knees still gave her new jobs every time.

The chased black-haired girl looked quite wary. After the pirates wandered away, she walked out cautiously and took two tentative steps forward, still keeping a certain distance from Andrea.

Andrea noticed this, put away her sword, and walked straight forward without asking or saying hello.

It was also at this time that a voice came from behind her: "That, that... thank you!"

Andrea stopped, looked back at the girl hiding in the corner, and smiled slightly: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

She didn't ask any questions and left directly.

Everyone has a secret. Anyway, as a qualified knight, her justice is not to see bad guys bullying little girls.

However, the little girl just now felt a little familiar...

After walking for a while, Andrea suddenly remembered - she seemed to have seen that face on the reward notice.

However, in the reward order, she still looks like a little girl... Considering her age, she should be right now.

Andrea usually doesn't remember people, especially when there are so many bounty orders. She always waits until she defeats a group of pirates before comparing the bounty orders.

But when she was short of money, she would also take the initiative to look through the stack of reward orders... One of them impressed her deeply - a little girl who looked less than ten years old, but had a whopping 79 million beli. The reward is far greater than that of many pirates.

Andrea knew the nature of this world government, so naturally she wouldn't think that this little girl had committed a big crime. She understood that there must be other hidden secrets in it. In this case...

"It seems that the good deeds I did today are of great value." Andrea said to herself, smiling, and went to pick up the children in a happier mood... and then smiled when she saw the children. become solidified.

The two unlucky children, whose clothes were in tatters and had a lot of scratches on their bodies, ran over excitedly when they saw her, chattering to her with bright eyes.

"Mom, mom! Our ship has become so cool now! I'll take you to see it!"

"Mom Leah! What Ace said is true! Our ship has become very powerful!"

Andrea had a question mark on her head and looked at the iceberg standing there, hesitant to speak. After being silent for a while, she hesitated and spoke: "What on earth did my brats do to the ship? Tell me, I can bear it. "

Bingshan looked ashamed and looked like he was ready to apologize: "No, Miss Andrea, it has nothing to do with Saboais. This time it is mainly the brat on our side who caused the trouble..."

【eighty-one】

This time it's really not Sabo and Ace's problem. In other words, they are not the main problem, they are at best an accomplice.

It was because Carter Frame, Tom's second disciple and Bingshan's younger brother, came over and chatted with Saboais while working on Bingshan.

Then, it was probably something like a little boy's dream... In short, after the three of them played together, this junior volunteered to equip their ship with shooting cannons, and their combat effectiveness suddenly increased. .

Although Essab is only 7 years old and this junior is 21 years old, it can be seen from this incident that the mental ages of the three of them may be about the same.

Bingshan gave his junior brother a good beating and apologized sincerely to Andrea - craftsmen have to follow the customer's requirements, and it was really bad behavior for his junior brother to make arbitrary decisions and modify other people's ships.

Andrea also beat up her two brats who got into trouble without looking at her, and in turn apologized to Bingshan - if it hadn't been for the request of these two unlucky children, Frame wouldn't have happily given it. They modify ships.

Fortunately, both parties were easy to talk to, so the incident was over, and Bingshan refused the extra fee Andrea wanted to pay for the extra weapon upgrade.

"No need to give it! Miss Leia! Consider this a gift for my bro Sabo and Ace to meet each other!"

"...You are causing trouble rather than giving a gift!"

Bingshan looked very tired, but Andrea accepted this very well: "It's okay, Mr. Bingshan, in general, we made a profit. Suddenly our Roland looked stronger. .”

Ace and Sabo also echoed.

Ace: "Yeah, yeah! It looks awesome!"

Sabo: "Thank you, Flam!"

Andrea looked at the two of them with a smile and said in a gentle tone: "I'm just talking about the trouble you caused. You two, please think about yourself and don't speak until the bag on your head is gone. I understand. ?"

Brothers: "...Yes."

Anyway, the ships have been renovated, and Bingshan has repeatedly said that although his junior brother is messing around, the shipbuilding technology is also top-notch, and there will be no problems with the ship's navigation.

Andrea was reassured about this—she believed in Tom.

Driving their new ship and bidding farewell to Tom and his apprentice, Andrea once again came to the Shampoo Islands.

But this time, she was not going to the Grand Line, but to the North Sea - she had already reached an agreement with the Warring States Period before, and now she was here to take advantage of the navy's route.

The Navy Headquarters is near the Chambord Islands.

The Shampoo Islands are not islands. They are actually formed by the exposed roots of the largest mangrove tree in the world. It is generally composed of an area formed by 79 trees.

These areas are numbered and each performs its own duties. Numbers 60-69 are where the navy is stationed and the government comes and goes.

Naturally, Andrea would not just go there without a care. Instead, she stayed at the hotel on 78th Street and called Sengoku with a phone bug to explain the situation.

Warring States was a little surprised by her call, but he was quite happy to hear her tone, and immediately gave a plan: [Lieutenant General Kuzan will go to Beihai later, you can follow him into Beihai, I will explained to him. 】
