[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【Thirteen】

The young man didn't look particularly depressed, he just sighed with a sense of disappointment, but he didn't walk away immediately.

After the rain cleared up, a gust of wind blew as the sun shone behind the dark clouds.

The straw hat on the boy's head was blown up. He reached out to grab the straw hat, put it back on his head, and smiled at the two of them: "I am Shanks, what is your name?"

Andrea stared at his straw hat and was briefly distracted - this guy has red hair...

Yes, Andrea has a redhead complex.

This has something to do with her teacher - Sword Master Theresia Van Astrea, who has beautiful red hair and is the ancestral member of the Astrea family.

This results in red hair giving Andrea a particularly high initial favorability bonus.

Of course, the best she could do was to reply politely when the red-haired boy asked her name.

This bonus would not make her change her mind - it was absolutely impossible for her to become a pirate.

After all, although the nobles in this world are basically hopeless, and she has a "destroy it" mentality, years of education and a sense of family honor make it impossible for her to follow the path of being a pirate. .

"I'm Andrea." Andrea directly reported her name, "Devonhill D. Andrea."

Hawkeye on the side also responded directly and coldly: "Jorachor Mihawk."

"D..." Shanks was stunned for a moment when he heard Andrea's middle name.

Andrea was keenly aware of this and kept it in mind - is there anything special about d? In their world, this middle name often symbolizes the characteristics of a noble family. For example, if there is a v in the middle, it usually means a big noble... But when you think of Gol D. Roger, it seems that this thing is a bit unusual.

The red-haired boy Shanks did not run away after saying hello, but instead blended in between the two of them in a very familiar manner.

Hawkeye is a man of few words and few expressions.

Andrea actually talked a lot in her original world, but she encountered drastic changes and knew too little about this world. She also adhered to the principle of talking less and making fewer mistakes.

Shanks... talks a lot.

And he didn't give up on the idea of ​​inviting the two aboard so easily.

Even though Hawkeye and Andrea said many times, "We are really not interested, we will not get on your pirate ship."

Because it is indeed a pirate ship, a pirate ship.

But putting this aside, the two of them didn't hate Shanks. Although the other party is a bit unreasonable and even makes people speechless, he has his own ideas and pursuits, as well as a set of principles that he adheres to.

And he is not weak either. This came to a conclusion after the battle that was called a sparring match and looked like a real fight to others.

Among the three of them, Hawkeye and Andrea's personalities are closer, and Shanks seems a bit opposite to them at first glance.

But the three of them did get along quite well.

Friends who are of equal strength and can fight, eat meat and drink together, their relationship will not be any worse no matter what.

It's just that the three of them have different goals, and after getting along for a while, they will separate due to their respective goals.

Hawkeye will continue to improve his sword skills, Andrea will go back to find Lujiu, and Shanks will find a new crew member. After all, his two friends were so stubborn that they turned a blind eye to his many invitations.

In this world, farewells between friends will not be sticky, not to mention that the three of them are quite free and easy types.

They just ate meat, drank wine together as usual, and listened to Shanks singing. Then Andrea couldn't stand his singing and sang it herself. Shanks commented that "it sounds good, but it sounds good." After "I always feel like I'm putting on airs" and couldn't bear to fight with my new friend, the three of them parted ways at dawn.

They didn't even say goodbye. The three of them went about their own things in a tacit understanding.

As the sails were being raised, Andrea also saw the actions of her friends on the other two boats - Hawkeye nodded to her, Shanks laughed and waved goodbye.

Infected by it, she also laughed, raised her hand to smooth her broken hair that was somewhat obscured by the wind, and shouted to the two of them: "See you next time!"

The sea is really big and full of surprises and dangers.

But at the same time, it is also full of expectations and opportunities.

Andrea looked at the endless sea and suddenly felt that her state of mind had broadened a lot - there was no need to be sad about the past, no need to worry about the future, just grasp the present.

Her hand grasped the hilt of the sword and she pulled out the sword, her body full of sword intent.

When Andrea returned to Badelila Island, she noticed something was wrong.

She discovered that there were many navies on the island.

This is understandable... after all, this is the last place where the Pirate King stayed.

Because she had become somewhat famous, Andrea carefully avoided these people and returned to Lujiu's side.

Then...she saw Lujiu sitting by the window.

When the other party saw her, he was very surprised, but also very happy. He immediately stood up and came over: "Lia! Why are you back?"

"I saw Roger's execution... I didn't expect him to be the Pirate King. Anyway, I'm a little worried about you." Andrea watched Lu Jiu coming over, and she also keenly noticed something was wrong. She looked at Lu Jiu with a somewhat confused look. He hesitated to speak.

Lu Jiu was silent for a while, her hand touched her belly, and her tone became a little heavy: "Lia...do you see it?"

"...Yeah, but it's okay." Andrea put her hands on Lujiu's shoulders and said in a sincere tone, "It doesn't matter, you were too thin before. Being fatter will make you healthier and better looking."
