The logbook of a retired knight

【34】

In fact, it is not surprising that Ace misunderstood.

After all, since he can remember, besides his own mother Leah, Hawkeye has been next to him.Then there is no one else on the island where Hawkeye lives, only a group of baboons, just like a real family of three.

In addition, other people are so misunderstood. If you look at what Whitebeard thought at the time, you will know what the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates thought——in places that Andrea didn’t see, little Ace I have been asked more than once about my father.

And the situation asked also strengthened the confidence of both parties that Hawkeye is his father—look, since he was sensible, there was Hawkeye next to him, but when he grew up, he ran away with his mother for some reason. Take care of dad.

Because One Piece World is very open to this kind of single-parent raising children, and even free-flying raising children is completely acceptable, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Under the influence of the people around him and his own judgment, Ace firmly believes that Hawkeye is his father.

He didn't have any complaints about Hawkeye. The Hawkeye in his memory had a good attitude towards him, and it was considered caring.And he didn't feel that his father was very important - in terms of family care, what Andrea gave him was enough for him.

After asking about the situation, Andrea was very worried—what's wrong with this?

Andrea's plan was to tell Ace about his life experience when he was ten years old—at that time he had a preliminary understanding of the world and could have his own independent thinking and judgment.

But now he is only three years old...

"...Mihawk, he...uh...Actually, he...uh..." Andrea thought for a while, and said with difficulty, "Ace, do you really care about who your biological father is?"

"Hey?" Little Ace blinked, and after thinking about it, he frowned and said indifferently, "I don't care if you don't care, mom. Anyway, I'm following you, mom."

He really doesn't care, that attitude feels like he cares more about the amount of meat in tonight's dinner.

While Andrea secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but confess to her friend—I'm sorry, my friend Mihawk, your reputation has been greatly damaged by inadvertence!

At the same time, the return to the East China Sea is imminent - formal education must be started quickly!

In this way, Andrea went to the Chambord Islands again.

On the way, the mother and son also had a new dialogue.

"Mihawk is not your biological father, he is just my friend."

"Hey? Mom, did you bring me out to find my biological father?"

"Uh...uh...uh...don't ask so many questions! You'll know when you grow up!"

No matter going out or going back, the ships need to be coated, and they all need to pass through Murloc Island.

No matter this time or the last time, Andrea is considered a very popular human on Murloc Island—because she is very polite to Murlocs and Merfolk, and it can be seen from her attitude that she really treats All are treated equally, which is a plus for the murlocs.What's more, she will also take action to teach those pirates who made trouble.

Except for the delay in rescuing the mermaid, Ace, who hadn't eaten at meal time, drooled at an octopus murloc, and then expressed his craving for grilled octopus to his mother, everything went well.

For the coating this time, Andrea found a white-haired old man who claimed to be "Old Lei of Coating" based on the recommendation of the octopus murloc named Xiaoba. very good.

Andrea hugged Ace and watched from the sidelines, and occasionally chatted with Xiaoba to learn about the things on Murloc Island.

"Princess Otohime hopes to coexist peacefully with humans... But to be honest, apart from Lei Li and Andrea, I have never seen a third person who is friendly to us."

"Princess Otohime actually thinks that way..." Andrea was a little surprised, but she naturally thought more deeply than others—it seemed that this princess wanted to promote a very difficult matter, and hoped that everything would go well for her.

The coating can't be done in a short time. After Xiaoba left, Andrea didn't just leave, but Ace was already there and started to sabotage it.

Andrea grabbed the restless cub and put it on her lap - no matter how naughty Estor was, once held by her, even if he felt bored, he would become obedient.

"Coating still takes a while, why don't you go out for a stroll, little girl Sword Demon?"

"You know me?"

"Hahahaha, the characteristics are still very obvious, right?" Lei Li laughed and said, the eyes hidden behind the glasses looked at the other party with a flash of sharpness, "not to mention the strong sword intent."

After being stunned, Andrea also smiled and said: "I once heard Shanks say that the deputy captain of the Roger Pirates, Raleigh the Pluto. I thought it was the same name, but because of your vision, I think you are again."

"Huh? You know Shanks?"

"Well, he's my friend."

"That's really fate! If you don't mind if I'm a bad old man, let's have a drink together later!" Rayleigh laughed, not caring about the exposure of his hidden old identity.

Although the nickname Pluto has become a thing of the past with the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, he doesn't want to cover up the past, but he doesn't deliberately recall or indulge in the past.

However, if it's a chat and a drink with someone who has a relationship in the past, then why not?

"Thank you for being able to see it, that would be great." Andrea replied with a smile, looked down at little Ace who was looking at her with somewhat ignorant eyes, his eyes softened, and he raised his hand to rub the other's head.

"And... If you don't mind, can you tell me what kind of person Roger is? I'm still very curious about the life of One Piece."

Andrea naturally didn't ask for herself, but for Ace.

After thinking over and over again, Andrea decided that before telling Ace, if she meets someone who knows One Piece, let the other person express her opinion and leave an impression on Ace—what kind of father is his father? People, it should not be answered by her, who has only known each other for a long time, nor by the world government or other people who have never had contact with Roger, but by other people who really have intersected with Roger explain.

Of course, she still hopes that Ace can be the same as now, and doesn't care who her biological father is.

But at the same time, she also felt that the child had the right to know.

Raleigh was slightly taken aback by this request, but he wasn't too surprised. He didn't refuse, didn't belittle or brag, and talked about his first meeting with Gol D. Roger very pertinently from his own point of view— —After the young Roger introduced himself, he directly invited Rayleigh with the sentence "Would you like to turn this world upside down with me?"

He didn't talk too much, mixed with some past adventures.

At the same time, he probably thought that Andrea was a friend of Shanks, and he also said some interesting things about Shanks.

Or it can be said to be embarrassing.

After the coating of the ship was finished, Andrea thanked Rayleigh repeatedly, and left with a richer reward than agreed.

After leaving, she also asked Ace for his opinion.

"Ace, what kind of person do you think One Piece is?"

Ace actually fell asleep after hearing the second half, but he still remembers the beginning, he frowned, and said with a bit of disgust: "It sounds very foolish and unreliable."

Andrea: "..." You better really think so!

Ace asked again: "Mother Lia, do you like One Piece?"

"Not at all." Andrea said blankly, "I just like listening to stories."

Coincidentally, when they came to the Chambord Islands this time, some people saw the sword ghost appearing, and immediately learned the lesson of missing the other party last time, and stepped forward regardless.

Andrea naturally drew her sword directly at the challenger without hesitation—her strength has greatly improved after undergoing special training from Whitebeard, and these people are not her opponents at all.

But what shocked her a little was that besides the challenger, there were also admirers this time.

This is not to say that Andrea had no admirers before. Although she was young in the last world, she also had supporters and admirers.But... the people in that world, no matter how bold they are, compared to the people in this world, they are all reserved.

However, this time, the person who was rejected still asked unwillingly: "Is it really because of Hawkeye!"

...No, let my best friend go, he is really innocent. ——Andrea's conscience felt a little painful, and she decided to come forward to help her friend clarify.

She put away her sword and said with a serious face, "No, I like red hair."

She was telling the truth, because her Juggernaut teacher's ancestral beautiful red hair, she has a certain red hair complex.

Of course, she doesn't know what the nickname of her other friend Shanks who happens to be red-haired is.

She didn't know that at this time, her two friends met in the New World and had a battle like a daily discussion, and it was under the witness of White Beard.
