[One Piece] Uncrowned King

Hearing Newgate's words, Teresa's face flashed with astonishment, she raised her head in surprise, and saw the man's serious face.She blinked her eyes, big tears squeezed out of her eyes and dripped down her cheeks, her cheeks were stained with some blush, this kind of expression made her forget everything all of a sudden.Teresa grabbed the hem of the skirt with trembling hands, and stammered: "That, that... I said... you..."

"Huh?" Seeing her strange reaction, Newgate thought for a while, the dull young man didn't notice the ambiguity in his sentence.

"Newgate...er..." Teresa bit her lower lip, took a deep breath and raised her eyes and asked, "You, are you proposing to me?"

Newgate showed astonishment and embarrassment on his face.He turned his head slightly, and said: "You misunderstood, I was just trying to persuade you to relax. People will experience countless separations in their lives, and some people have never owned anything, but they will come through the same. After all, in the unknown In the future, maybe a new family will be formed."

"Will Newgate want to start a family with me?" Teresa asked bluntly, staring into his light golden eyes.

"..." The big man who was walking stopped, and looked at the sturdy little girl with a complicated expression.

"If you think about it carefully, if the family member is Newgate, I can still accept it." The blush on Teresa's cheeks has not faded, and her hands are mixed together, and there is still a pair of wet eyes. Future Xiyi.Hearing that the other party did not answer her, Teresa also stopped and waited patiently for the other party to give her an answer.

Newgate sighed, raised his hand and rubbed the top of the little girl's hair, and said, "Stop messing around, you little brat, what do you know?"

"Where is the kid, Newgate is only two years older than me!" Teresa muttered dissatisfiedly, she reached out and hugged his arm, and said: "I'm not joking, please think carefully, Do you want to marry me and start a family!" Although she is still 15, she will be married in a year.Now Teresa still doesn't understand the feelings called love. She doesn't want to be alone, she just wants to find someone to be by her side.She didn't even realize that her attachment to Newgate had unconsciously become so heavy that she thought of him first in everything.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing when you are older." Newgate said with a helpless face, "Besides, in a few years, I will go to sea and leave this island." He turned his head and looked at her, shallowly With complex emotions she couldn't see through her golden eyes, she said, "Don't just bet on your own life, few people can afford to lose."

"I don't..." Teresa retorted dissatisfiedly, and Newgate raised his arm to stop her next words.He let her hold his arm, quietly clenched one hand, and said: "... Even so, if you don't regret it, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

When Newgate finished speaking these words with a solemn expression, Teresa's face felt like it was about to burn.And the big man beside him continued: "Before then, kid, you should think about growing up first." Even if she had to make a life-long decision, she had to have a mature mind.Teresa, who is only 15 years old now, is still too young, and the future is full of variables. He cherishes her who he regards as his family, and therefore does not want her to have a bad life in the future, and even resent him in the future.

"Then...then when I grow up...when I'm 16 years old, you have to answer me well!" Teresa raised her little finger and said next to Newgate: "Pull the hook!"

Newgate twitched his lips, but still raised his head to play this childish game with her. Listening to her clear and clear voice saying that hanging on the hook will not change for 100 years, this thought is far more gentle than the eyes of a mature young man. It's thicker.

"By the way, Newgate, can you move into my house from today?" Teresa grabbed his little finger and pleaded, "You can live in Dad's house, and now I'm alone at home... ..."

Newgate looked at her deeply for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you back first, and I'll pack up after I go back."

"Okay!" Seeing that he agreed to her unreasonable request, Teresa had a sweet smile on her face.

The two of them walked towards home holding hands like this. Newgate found Teresa was still barefoot on the way, so he picked her up and carried her on his shoulders.Along the way, many townspeople came to comfort the crying girl with red eyes, and brought her all kinds of delicious food, beautiful clothes and small items such as peace charms.Although she was very sad not to see her father, Teresa was also touched by the care of those who watched her grow up.Whether it's her father or everyone in this town, in fact, she can't bear it...

After Newgate sent Teresa home, he turned around and went back to his cabin to pack his luggage.Teresa lay on the window and watched his figure going further and further away, until she saw that his figure was blurred and could no longer be seen clearly, she silently retracted her gaze, and sat on the bed with her knees tightly hugged.

"..."

Tears fell one drop after another, and the white bedding underneath was also wet little by little.She clutched her skirt tightly with both hands, crying silently...

dad……

……

After that, Newgate really lived with Teresa, and the people in the town were happy to hear this. After all, the two guys were inseparable. Now Teresa left her father, and there was a mature and steady Newgate by It's just right next to you.Compared with Newgate's low-key and high-key, Teresa herself is much more straightforward. When others asked, she directly said in front of the grandparents that she would marry Newgate soon. She never felt that Your own decisions will change over time.

It's just that this news also reached the ears of Dr. Nancy, who was thinking about her daughter in the distant holy land, through the mouth of the navy spies...

"What are you talking about!!" The doctor broke the pen with one hand, and roared at the intelligence agent in front of him.

"Yes, that's right... Listen, listen to the people in Katness, Ling Qianjin is indeed married to the ability user of the Zhenzhen Fruit..." the intelligence officer said tremblingly.

"How could this happen! No, I want to go back!!" Doctor Nancy pushed away the guy in front of him, and was about to rush outside.Kong Gu, who happened to receive the news, rushed over and immediately stepped forward to hold him, saying: "Mr. Nancy! Please calm down!"

"Calm down! If your daughter gets married before you know it! Can you calm down!!" Dr. Nancy roared, not at all as gentle as usual.

"..." Kong Gu fell silent. If it were him, a creature like son-in-law probably shouldn't have appeared at all.
