The logbook of a retired knight

【seventy】

Andrea still has quite an impression of this white town.

After all, it is also a bustling tourist attraction, and I have seen the special product of the white town - decorations made of amber lead when I was shopping.

Although it is very beautiful, the appearance is actually in line with Andrea's exquisite aesthetics, but at that time Andrea thought that she would go to the white town once anyway, so she didn't spend a lot of money on it.

What's next... Because the white town of Frevans is in the North Sea, and the journey is far away, Andrea quickly put this matter behind her.

She didn't expect to see the news of the white town again, which turned out to be the news of the country's destruction—"White Town" Frevans was suffering from the infectious disease "Perman's Disease", the symptoms of which were the gradual graying of the skin and hair, In the end, he died, and there was no cure.

It is also because of this that the surrounding countries have blocked the town and sent troops to shoot and kill all the citizens.

Of course, it was impossible for the newspaper to make it so clear. The latter point was inferred by Andrea herself.

It's one thing to fear a contagion spilling over, and another to take advantage of it to annex and carve up the country's interests.

It's like the newspaper didn't say it, but Andrea had an intuition—the royal family in this country should have fled early.

Reading the newspaper did not say what the navy and the world government have done for this, you can probably guess.

This is really not good news, and from this incident, we can glimpse the root of the world's rot.

Andrea felt that her good mood in the morning was ruined by this. After seeing the news that the quadrennial world conference was about to be held, she sighed and threw the newspaper aside.

On the contrary, Sabo was keenly aware of Andrea's emotional changes, so he went to pick up the newspaper and read it.Although he was only six years old, he was originally educated by the nobility, and under the guidance of Andrea's courses, he knew almost all the words in the newspaper.

Seeing him seriously reading the newspaper, Andrea was taken aback for a moment and raised her hand to beckon him to come over.After a while, the two children listened carefully to their mother talking about current affairs.

Of course, after reading the contents of the newspaper, the reactions of the two children were different.

Ace: "Do you have to die if you get that infectious disease? If you get sick, shouldn't you treat them first?"

Sabo: "Is that disease really contagious?"

Andrea was taken aback, and looked at Sabo, who was frowning and thinking, with a hint of surprise on his face——Sabo, this kid... To a certain extent, he is quite sharp.

If it weren't for the fact that the nobles in this world are so rotten that they can't be saved by just one or two people, Andrea thinks that Sabo will be a good candidate for politics.Not only to be benevolent, but also to be able to touch the essence at a glance when looking at a problem.

Of course, it's too early to tell.

Andrea shook their heads: "Your questions are all good questions, but this question is beyond my ability to answer... You can continue to think about it."

This is also a step that must be experienced when leading children to understand the world-to develop the habit of thinking independently.

【71】

Of course, this kind of thing still has to be done slowly.

Now it's just a small head start, and children are forgetful and easily distracted. Soon they will be so excited because they have entered the Upside Down Mountain, and forget everything else.

Because the windless zone is basically impossible for ordinary people to pass except for ships with special equipment like the navy, so everyone is walking upside down.

Upside Down Mountain is a special intersection with five waterways, four in and one out.The four entrances are the entrances to the four sea areas, east, west, north, south, and the exit is the great shipping route.

Before that, Andrea took Ace on a great route and went all the way to the new world.Of course, because the new world is very dangerous and the territory is basically owned, as a single mother with a young child, she didn't run too far. She went to visit Whitebeard because she heard the white whale was coming up, and then came back directly.

This time, after Andrea entered the great voyage, she chose the familiar one—although there are seven routes to go, but there are uncertainties with her two children. From the perspective of safety, she still took the route she went before. that way.

This kind of route is not something that can be crossed casually, but one needs to choose one of them when the mountain is turned upside down.

After all, the geomagnetism inside the great route is messy. To ensure that the route is ok, it is necessary to use the recording pointer to determine the direction.Andrea had gone the old way to record and kept the permanent pointers of individual islands before, and this time it was more convenient.

And after entering the great route, there were fewer pirates who didn't look forward to provoking. After all, although Andrea was born in the East China Sea, she actually became famous on the great route.

On the contrary, those unknown little pirates are ignorant and fearless, and there are more pirates who have memory points for her on the Great Route. What's more, Andrea's characteristics are also obvious-a powerful swordsman with black hair and red eyes, a hunting sea pirate. Thief for bounty, solo action with children.

Although……

"Didn't you say that Sword Demon has only one child?! Why is there an extra child!?"

"Could it be that the sword ghost has given birth in the past few years when he disappeared?!"

"But those two kids look the same age..."

"It must have been at the father's place before, and then the sword ghost went to get the child back..."

...Ah, it really is a familiar (idiot) recipe. ——Andrea thought calmly, drew out her sword, put away her sword after dealing with the enemy neatly, turned her head to Ace who was throwing stones at the enemy, and Sabo who was stabbing people with branches: "No need to confirm They are dead or not, tie them up to see if there is any bounty that can be exchanged, go to the navy to exchange bounty."

The two children obediently answered yes in unison, and then excitedly finished tying up the pirate while dragging it with a rope while chatting there.

Ace: "How? I just said that being a pirate is not as comfortable as being a bounty hunter, right?"

Sabo: "Really, there are more pirates who feel ashamed!"

Andrea: "..." Forget it, it's a good thing for a child not to want to be a pirate, so let's not say anything.

A group of people continued to move forward, and they naturally came to Alabasta, the only way to pass through this road, and a place that Andrea was quite familiar with.

【72】

Alabasta is a pretty big and beautiful country. Andrea brought Ace with him the last time he came. Both Si and Sabo feel quite fresh.

Although there are many desert areas in this country, there are also many beautiful oasis cities. For example, port cities are very prosperous, and they are also large trading centers and goods distribution centers.

Andrea will also take advantage of this to make some supplies, and at the same time catch more pirates in exchange for more bounties-the navy stationed in Alabasta is not the same as it was a few years ago, but I will soon become familiar with her Get up and open the green channel when she arrests people.

Of course, there will be other bounty exchangers coming over, and he looks a little familiar.

The other party threw the pirate away without even asking for a reward, and walked away boldly, even taking a look at Andrea before leaving.

Probably because of Andrea’s puzzled look, Xiao Haijun, who helped exchange the bounty, explained to her very politely: “The one just now is Shichibukai Sha Crocodile, the king recognized by the government. The previous bounty has been as high as 8100 million Berry, he is a devil fruit capable user, and he has even challenged Whitebeard..."

Ace looked curious: "Huh? Did he win?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

Sabo was also curious: "Then did he challenge again?"

"Of course not..."

Ace immediately became uninterested: "What, that's far worse than mom. Mom has challenged Whitebeard many times!"

Andrea squinted: "Ace—"

Ace: "Mom has challenged Mr. Whitebeard many times!"

Andrea: "..." Forget it.

Xiao Haijun was still smiling apologetically: "Of course you can't compare with Miss Sword Demon—"

This group of people muttered here, but they didn't know that Sha Krokdal, who seemed to leave without caring, was actually secretly paying attention to this side.

Unlike Andrea, he remembered Andrea deeply—because of the defeat in Rogge Town.

At that time, he was not reconciled, and only felt that the weather affected his performance.

However, after that, he became famous in the sea with high spirits, and he fought against Douglas, the former crew member of the Roger Pirates.

The consequence of drifting away is to challenge the strongest White Beard, and then be abused unilaterally.

Unlike Andrea, this time caused him to have some PTSD, so he retreated from the New World and started to have other plans... But he also pays attention to Andrea's news-of course he doesn't care about gossip at all , he was concerned about Andrea's challenge to Whitebeard.

At first, he had a gloating attitude, thinking that Andrea would also be abused.But after watching Andrea's repeated defeats and battles, and even being valued by Whitebeard and staying on the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time...he began to feel a little depressed again.

Because this is like a control group, even if no one mentions it, he is naturally shorter than the other party in this matter.Even if he didn't fight again, he felt as if he had lost.

He recognized the sword ghost just now, but he also pretended not to see or recognize him.

He didn't want Andrea to find himself obsessed with this matter, as if he cared about her...

"Mom, that man also fought with Whitebeard just now, and he is also a pirate. Have you ever fought with him?"

"Hmm... hiss - I don't remember very clearly. After all, I must remember the one who defeated me. There are many losers under my hand, so I don't remember coming here."

...Sword Demon——! ! !You wait for me! ! ! ——Sha Crocodile restrained his impulse, and after a roar in his heart, he secretly made up his mind that after getting the ancient weapon Pluto, he would first test the waters with this ignorant woman, and then kill Whitebeard to plunder his wealth and wealth. territory.
