[One Piece] Uncrowned King

Meeting, parting, defeating the enemy, or seeing the beautiful scenery... Pirates are guys who like to be lively, as long as they find a little excuse, they will spend a lot of money on banquets. In this regard, even Marco will not be stingy To stop them, after all, enjoyment to the fullest is an important part of life for a pirate, even himself is no exception.And the return of the second team and Teresa this time will inevitably lead to carnival all night. Although this kind of thing is a bit noisy for Teresa's age, she just smiled and indulged.

Or it may be the relationship after the conversation with Teresa before, or it may be that she knows that she is in a bad mood. This time, the father did not take the initiative to ask for wine, and even the wine glasses brought by his sons were put aside. To the wine glass, but finally suppressed the boiling craving, just watched the children drink to their heart's content.He didn't want to upset Teresa with a few drinks.

Teresa saw his reaction in her eyes, and after a long time, she raised her hand and put it on his wrist, and said, "Forget it this time, go and drink with the children."

"..." Newgate looked at her in surprise when he heard the words, but thinking of her downcast look in the room just now, he still smiled and said, "No need, I'm not a brat who doesn't even have self-control. The wine thing , don’t drink it.”

That is to say, but how can the alcohol addiction that I have had since I was young be changed overnight... Teresa knew that he was thinking about herself, so she got up and picked up the wine glass and put it in his hand He said: "I asked you to drink less, but it's not that you can't drink. And seeing Ace, it can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes. If you continue to decline, I will drink with you."

As soon as the words came out, Newgate immediately turned his face aside, and raised his hand to stop him: "Don't..." After Teresa drank, her occupational disease as a doctor would suddenly attack. At that time, let alone a banquet, I am afraid that it will directly become a body. Big check it out.Thinking of the experience he had with the captain when he was young, while he was nostalgic, he also had a headache, but he didn't want to revisit it again.

It's just that some people just don't want to turn the page, as Newgate wished, and make Teresa forget about drinking sideways.

Hearing that Teresa wanted to drink, Ace, who didn't know it and only had enthusiasm, came over, took the wine bowl and said, "Hey! Do you want to drink? Come, come, I have it here!!" After finishing speaking, he put his hand He handed over the wine glass in his pocket, and greeted the people behind him: "Come on, fill her up quickly!" After he said that, the atmosphere of the people around him also stirred up, and a group of little ghosts had never seen it. Teresa looks like drinking, so she is not afraid of death.

Not seeing Newgate's weird expression, the pirates came forward and started booing.

"Mom, let's have a drink!!"

"Ace is right, I have never seen my mother drink alcohol!"

"Mom, let's have a drink!"

"What are you guys doing in a daze, give Mom a full blown hahaha!"

Teresa looked at the water level of the wine bowl that Ace forced into her hand in a speechless manner. As a doctor, she abides by the rules and never drinks alcohol. You must know that if her hands are slightly deviated due to drunkenness, she can take them away. other people's lives.However, she was embarrassed to refuse the enthusiasm of the children. She pursed her lower lip, and Teresa raised the bowl, intending to pour it in one gulp...

At this moment, an arm swung across, directly took the wine bowl that Teresa was holding in her hand, poured it into her own glass and drank it in one gulp, then swept across a group of kids who had finally calmed down sullenly, He calmly put down the wine bowl and said, "What are you looking at, fill it up for me."

Teresa looked at her empty palms, raised her head and smiled at Newgate, and said, "I'll be fine if I drink some alcohol, it won't do any harm to my body..." She obviously misunderstood Newgate's actions, because she was afraid Her body can't handle alcohol anymore.

Knowing that Teresa had misunderstood, Newgate didn't explain it. He couldn't say that he was worried that she would go crazy with alcohol... I'm afraid if he told the truth, he would be nagged till dawn.

However, both Teresa and Marco accepted this reason. After all, mothers are different from young people, so it's better to take it easy.

After this farce, a group of people on the boat started to revel again. Although Newgate was able to hold back a few drinks at first with Teresa's permission, the atmosphere became so heated that he couldn't control it and put other problems Forget it, and poured down the wine one mouthful at a time.In the end, a group of guys turned the banquet into a wine fight, and the inventory of wine on board was reduced by half.Teresa glanced at the ecstatic father and son, and saw that they were in high spirits, and she didn't want to disturb their good spirits. She just bowed her head and ate silently among a group of drunks.

In the end, the boat was full of people, and the whole boat was full of leftover plates and wine bottles. A few sober people threw them into the cabin one by one. Teresa took the cleaning tools and helped clean up together. .After sorting it out like this, she procrastinated until midnight before she returned to the room exhausted. At this time, the toilet of the Whitebeard Pirates was very lively. As a result of drinking, a group of people frantically went to the toilet and threw up. Diarrhea.

Newgate had good wine, at least he never got drunk or vomited.When Teresa walked into the room, he was lying on the boat with his hand on his forehead, his cheeks flushed with alcohol.Hearing her coming in, the man opened his eyes and glanced at her, seeing that she was not angry, he closed his eyes again.

Teresa walked to the front of the cabinet, picked up the kettle, weighed it, and wanted to pour a glass of water for Newgate to warm her stomach, but found that there was no hot water inside, so she took the kettle and pushed the door outside, intending to go to the kitchen to boil some .The weight of the kettle is nothing to a man, but Teresa at this age struggled to hold it up.

Seeing her walk out the door holding the water bottle with both hands, Newgate shook his head to shake off the drunkenness, got out of bed and chased after her, and easily helped her pick up the water bottle.Then with her, the two headed towards the kitchen.

Except for the bustling toilets, the entire Moby Dick was quiet. The watchman on board heard the sound and looked down. Seeing that Newgate and Teresa had come out, they looked away in relief.When the two walked to the kitchen, the previous mess had been cleaned up by the chefs again, and the food had also been put away in the refrigerator with a password, but there was no one in the room.In front of the refrigerator, the teenager with an orange cowboy hat on his back was poking his butt with his back to her, studying the locked refrigerator hard, and only the fruit was left of the few apples in the fruit basket outside. nuclear.

Looking at Newgate, Teresa turned on the light, and finally saw who the person in front of the refrigerator was, and asked in a little surprise, "It's... Ace?"

"Ah!" The kitchen suddenly lit up, and Ace was a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes and saw Newgate and Teresa, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey... Dad... didn't you go to bed?" The word mother , means something extraordinary to Ash, and it is as difficult for him to call out as it was to call Newgate Daddy.Therefore, Teresa did not force this kind of trivial matter.

"Let's boil some water." Teresa put her eyes on the fruit core in Ace's hand, and suddenly understood something, and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't just drink, you are hungry now " She walked over, skillfully entered the password on the refrigerator, opened the door and said, "Everything in this place is raw, and the ham is also cold. Eating it is not good for your stomach. Sit there and wait, I will make some Something for you to eat."

"Is this a bit too troublesome..." Ace glanced at Newgate, and scratched his hair in embarrassment.And Newgate smiled at him, stretched out his hand to rub the bear boy's slightly curly black hair, and pulled out a chair to sit beside him.

"It's nothing troublesome. When I was young, I was the one who cooked for your father. Now... I haven't done it for decades. If the taste is not good, you have to forgive me." Certain young memories , has become blurred, but when I was really cooking, I found that all the actions can be done subconsciously.Skillfully cut vegetables, added ingredients, stir-fried... Soon, the aroma of the food came over.

"It feels good..." Ace sighed when he saw the two dishes being stir-fried.

"Don't underestimate her. In addition to her medical skills, Teresa is also good at cooking." Newgate knows Teresa best among those who have accompanied her all her life.She didn't cook anymore, not only because she didn't have time, but also because she could be called for emergency surgery at any time. If she accidentally left a scar on her hand, she might have hand tremors and weakness, which would affect the rescue.

The father and son sat on the bench, under the light, looking at the back of the busy.And Teresa wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned around and saw two waiting faces, she frowned and said, "Newgate, help me peel the potatoes."

"En." Newgate responded, picked up the potatoes from the basket, and carefully scraped off the skin with two fingers.It's obviously just a simple and trivial matter, but the way he does it with his huge body is quite weird and careful.

Ace couldn't help holding his chin up, watching his father being ordered around by Teresa, his eyes became hazy a little bit unconsciously.

or……

This is probably the feeling of having parents... having a family...

……

The sound of splashing water continued, and by the kitchen sink of the Whitebeard Pirates, one big and one small stood there, washing dishes and cleaning pots hard.

"Ace, give me the dish soap."

"...Got it, Dad."
