Pirate Shadow Guardian

"That's basically what happened. Xing Ye probably knows more than me."

After He Ye finished speaking, Aisha and Jasmine also brought the food to the table.

"Let's eat first. Everything is fine in the village now. There's no rush to discuss things."

"Mom! I smell fish cooked with green onions!"

"Then come out and eat, you little greedy cat!"

"Hehe, that's because mom's cooking is so good. She woke me up even when I was asleep!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go wash your hands. I'll introduce you to a new sister later."

"All right!"

Xing also skipped and went to wash her hands.

This cheerful scene made Heye and Aisha's nose sore, and they looked in Yangye's direction at the same time.

Since Yang Ye left, the girl seemed to have grown up, no longer acted like a spoiled brat, and became more calm in her words and deeds. Especially these days, even they could feel the heavy burden on their daughter, and she hadn't smiled for many days...

Fortunately, Yang is back now, their baby daughter is lively again, and everything will be fine!

.........

in the kitchen.

"Hmm... so... I have a sister too?!"

Xingye had a piece of meat that he had secretly put in his mouth. After hearing what Aisha said about Jasmine, he was so surprised that he forgot to chew and his words were a little slurred.

"Jasmine told me that she and a group of friends were kidnapped by pirates, and their family was killed... It was Yangye who saved them, and it was Yangye who brought her out of the shadow, and then... Then she followed Yangye shamelessly... Hehe, these are Jasmine's original words."

"Wow... Sister Jasmine is so pitiful... Brother is so awesome! And... those damn pirates! They are simply ruining the reputation of pirates!"

Aisha stared at her daughter in astonishment...

Pirates...

The reputation of a pirate...

Still need to be corrupted?

But thinking about it, Xing is also going to be the Pirate King's woman, Aisha feels relieved.

.........

"Sister, eat some vegetables!"

At the dinner table, Xing also enthusiastically picked up dishes for Jasmine, all of which were her favorites. Sharing her favorite food with her sister was enough to show that she really accepted Jasmine.

only…

"Sister, I can't eat so much..."

Jasmine looked weakly at the mountain of rice piled high on the small bowl...

"Well...then you eat first, and I'll serve you more after you finish..."

Xing also smiled awkwardly and finally stopped feeding the animals frantically.

In this family, Xing has always been taken care of since he was a child. Now he finally has a younger sister who needs more care, so he naturally behaves very positively.

Seeing this harmonious scene, He Ye finally put his worries aside. He knew very well how much Xing Ye was attached to Yang Ye. He was afraid that Xing Ye would be unhappy because there was a younger sister competing with her for favor.

Yang was quite calm.

Compared to He Ye, the father, Yang Ye, who almost raised Xing Ye personally, obviously understands Xing Ye better.

It's true that Xing Ye is attached to him, but she is not dependent on him.

Moreover, Xing Ye is not the type of person who likes to compete for favor. Having been regarded as the big sister since she was a child, she knows how to be tolerant of her younger brothers and sisters.

The meal was very harmonious and enjoyable.

After dinner, Jasmine was taken back to the house by Xingye, while Zoro squeezed into the same room with Yangye.

“This scene seems familiar…”

"When you first arrived in Shimokatsuki Village, you lived in my house. This time I have to move back."

"Well, you really don't suffer any loss at all!"

"That is!"

.........

"Yang Ye, are you asleep?"

"Sleep."

Zoro: ………

"Stop it, I'm talking about business!"

"You want to ask me what I'm going to do next, right?"

"Well, with the current state of the Hidden Moon Village, I'm sure you're worried about leaving now, right?"

"No, I plan to leave soon."

"what?"

Zoro was so shocked that he sat up in bed.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb our parents!"

"It's your parents..."

"It's okay. What's mine is yours."

Zoro: Is this possible?

"Okay, let's not dwell on this question. What do you think? Leave now?"

"It's time to leave as soon as possible!"

"Huh? What do you say?"

"Tell me, what would a pirate captain do when his strength is greatly reduced and he is facing a strange force and has no confidence of winning?"

"Either give up now, or find help to take revenge!"

Zoro pondered for a moment and gave his answer.

"Well, let's just leave it at that. If he wants help, who do you think he'll look for?"

"How should I know… huh? You knew?"

"Some speculation."

"Tell me."

"You know, Xingye... also has silver hair!"

"So, you suspect he will look for the Gothic Kingdom?"

"It is indeed possible. This group of pirates became active after we declared war on the Gothic Kingdom, so they must have known about the Gothic Kingdom's bounty for silver-haired slaves. If he wants to find help, the Gothic Kingdom is undoubtedly the first choice. On the other hand, even if he gives up and gives up revenge, given the greed of pirates, I don't think he would mind selling the Gothic Kingdom another piece of news about the silver-haired slaves!"

Yang also carefully explained his guess to Zoro, and then added:

"I even suspect that the pirate captain was not scared away by Xingye. Instead, he discovered that Xingye had silver hair like me and looked somewhat similar..."

"It is indeed possible!"

"Well, so there is an 80% chance that this person will inform the Gothic Kingdom, and only a 20% chance that he will give up revenge because he is afraid of me."

“Why is the probability of giving up only 20%?”

"Because...human greed and luck..."

Zoro remained silent.

Let’s not talk about other people for now, pirates…are just a group of greedy and lucky people…

Because of greed and luck, they robbed everywhere...

"Since you know that the other party might bring people here to retaliate, why do you dare to go out to sea? What about Yueyin Island?"

Zoro still didn't understand.

"Two reasons. First, this matter cannot be resolved in the short term, so I plan to send Xingye to Windmill Town while the other party is preparing."

"What about the other reason?"

"The other reason is of course... because of you, Zoro!"

"what?!"

Zoro's voice inadvertently rose again, then quickly subsided. At the same time, he had an ominous premonition in his heart...

"After I take Xingye away, the safety of Yueyin Island will be in your hands!"

"I... okay..."

Zoro was about to refuse, but he was surprised to find that he couldn't refuse Yangye's request.

because…

Now, he is the only person Yang can rely on...

"But the current problem is easy to solve. What about the future? You can't stay in Yueyin Island forever and not go out, right?"

"I'm going to ask Vice Admiral Garp for help. Protecting the safety of innocent people is the justice of the navy, isn't it?"

Yang Ye paused for a moment and continued:

"This is just a temporary solution. The most fundamental thing is to become stronger! I plan to promote swordsmanship and boxing in the Hidden Moon Village. I'll have to work hard as your swordsmanship coach. As for boxing, what Ace taught me is enough for me in the East China Sea."

"Yes, that's right. Only when you are strong can you not be afraid of any enemy!"

"Of course, the most important thing is..."

"what?"

“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!”
