The logbook of a retired knight

[120 six]

Andrea was shocked by her friend's never-before-seen travel posture, and hurried over to fish the five cubs into her boat one by one, gave each of the five a chestnut, and held them and the eagles together. Apologize.

"Sorry Mihawk! These brats have caused you trouble!" Andrea felt a little ashamed—look at Hawkeye's expression just now!

Although nothing could be seen on the surface, but they were so familiar, she noticed that Hawkeye's joy when he saw her at that time was not the joy when he usually fights with her, but a joy with a sense of relief!

After several children stood obediently in a row, lowered their heads and shouted "I'm sorry, Mr. Mihawk Mihawk" in unison, they didn't care about the bags on their heads, and started to surround her excitedly, almost taking her as a The tree climbed.In other words, Luo has a more restrained personality and is the oldest, so he behaves better.

Andrea picked up Sabo, Ace hung on her left shoulder, and Luffy immediately took over his right shoulder.

Andrea first rubbed Sabo's head and asked a few questions with concern.

Sabo answered one by one obediently, and Andrea, who confirmed that he was fine and did not have any sequelae, was relieved, then patted Luo on the head and praised him, and stroked Bepo's hair very smoothly. , felt that something was wrong, and touched a few more hands, and asked with a confused face: "Why do you feel that the hand feels a little different? What happened to Beibo recently?"

The five little ones, including Bei Bo, instantly became tense, looking extremely guilty.

Andrea squinted her eyes, and decided to torture these little guys later, let the two little ones on her shoulders go down first, and went to talk to Hawkeye—thanks to them for helping her take care of the children... Apparently it's not what he wants.

She didn't know how these unlucky children made Hawkeye bring them to find her... But just by imagining, she could know that Hawkeye must have suffered some kind of unreasonable disaster.

And after learning why Hawkeye came to find her, Andrea also generously said that it would be better to fight on the next uninhabited island-the uninhabited island is the most convenient, and you can fight wantonly without worrying about destroying public property.

This was exactly what Hawkeye wanted, and he happily agreed.

But at the same time, he still asked his own question: "Luo is your apprentice... Is that rubber boy? His straw hat belongs to Shanks, right?"

Facing the subtle doubts from Hawkeye's "When did my two little friends secretly give birth behind my back", Andrea waved her hands expressionlessly: "Not at all! That child is an unfamiliar child." My elders forced it on me! When I was young, I played with Ace and the others and watched Ace call me mom, so they followed suit, and they have been calling me until now.”

Hawkeye: "..." Does his friend have the physique of being touched?

Andrea didn't know that she was sympathized by her best friend, and she scolded several children that night.From Sabo's matter to Bepo's hair, to the fact that they insisted on going out to sea with Hawkeye to find her.

Although the children obeyed obediently, they were not intimidated by it. Instead, they stuck to her as soon as she stopped talking.It's just that Luo Du, who has always been not clingy, stood a little closer.

Andrea also understood why they were like this, her expression was a little helpless, she sighed and did not reprimand, but asked curiously, "How did you get Mihawk to agree to take you away?"

Although Hawkeye is actually a casual person who doesn't care much about many things, but this time...

"We just begged Mihawk to let us follow!" Ace said with a smile, as the culprit, he seemed to have no clue about Hawkeye's suffering.

Luo recalled their "following" behavior at that time, his expression changed a little, he looked away, and nodded guiltyly to agree.

Andrea probably understands—these kids have a way of stalking.And Hawkeye saw that it was impossible for her face to really kill the child, so he finally compromised.

...I always feel more sorry for my best friend.

With guilt in her heart, Andrea also warmly invited Hawkeye to have dinner together, and it was an apology for letting a few unlucky children cook.

And that night, after Andrea, who was pestered by several children, briefly explained how she attacked the Tianlong people and how she escaped from the admiral's pursuit, she began to put the children to sleep.After a group of people were excited, their spirits relaxed, and it was time to sleep, so they got down on the ground after a few words of coaxing—the sleep quality of this group of people is really good, not to mention their children.

Several children were sleeping sideways, and Andrea softened her face, and took a small blanket to cover a group of children.

After staring at their sleeping faces for a moment, she hugged Ace.

Ace opened his eyes in a daze, put his arms around her neck, and said in a troubled tone, "Mom?"

"Ace, wake up." Andrea rubbed the other person's head, "Mummy has something to say to you alone."

[120 seven]

As soon as he heard that he was going to talk alone, Ace suddenly became sober.

He was a little uneasy and cautious, feeling that this was a private lecture, and he was thinking hard about the reason for apologizing later - he wanted to seek revenge from the Tianlongren before, but he was not strong enough?Or obviously Luo helped them, but he still lost his temper at Luo at that time?Or is it wrong to drag Mihawk out to sea to cause trouble for others?

Andrea took the child outside the cabin, stood on the deck, put him down, and turned his back to the moonlight.

Ace was racking his brains there, and was about to apologize as soon as possible, when his mother said: "Today I want to tell you something important... Ace, I'm not your biological son. Mother."

Ace froze there.

A few seconds later, he clenched his hands tightly, choked out a sentence of sorry and began to cry loudly: "I'm sorry, mom...don't let Song Ziniao throw me to someone else's house..."

Andrea was stunned for a while before realizing where the child had misunderstood. She couldn't laugh or cry but felt distressed at the same time. She squatted down and reached out to hold the other party in her arms, rubbing the other party's head: "How could I lose Ace? ?”

Next, Andrea spent a long time explaining that Ace is the child of her sister Lu Jiu and the pirate king Roger. After Roger died, Lu Jiu spent a lot of effort to protect Ace. But he was also in poor health and died not long after giving birth to Ace.Then she comes to raise.

Because of Ace's panic just now, Andrea also deliberately stated repeatedly: "Of course, I always treat you, Ace, as my own child. And Roger is actually not that important. If Ace you If you want, you can actually regard yourself as the child of sister Lu Jiu and me."

Andrea felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said-Lu Jiu gave birth to Ace, and she took care of Lu Jiu to raise Ace. In fact, except for the first few minutes in the process, Roger really didn't have anything to do.

And Ace actually accepts reality more calmly than Andrea imagined.

One reason is that although he is actually a little sensitive by nature, he was raised very well by Andrea. He has no lack of love at all, has many brothers, and has many false fathers. Another Roger is actually not bad for him. He didn't hate Roger either;

Secondly... In Ace's concept, Andrea's words can be translated like this - you were originally given to my sister Lu Jiu and Roger by the gift bird, and then Lu Jiu died to protect you, you It became my child.Or you can think that you were sent to Lu Jiu and me by the songbird.

Seeing that Ace didn't react much, Andrea was also relieved, and then told the other party to keep this matter secret and not to say it casually. If anyone who wanted to tell it needed to ask if she could tell it, she let the child go back to sleep.

Andrea, who finally completed the act of telling Ace when he was ten years old as planned, let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that she had accomplished something great.It's much bigger than beating up the Tianlong people.

And when Andrea was sitting down to rest, Ace came running again, sticking to her side as usual.

Andrea didn't pay much attention, but after half an hour passed, when she found that Ace was still awake, she felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Ace? Can't sleep?"

Ace, who was leaning against her, fell down and lay on her lap, but with his back to her, his expression was hidden, and he just said in a muffled voice: "Mother Lia, then you are still mine." Mother?"

Andrea was taken aback, then smiled lightly after regaining her senses: "I will always be."

"...Well." Ace responded, and after a long time, he asked again, "Mother Leah, did I make you hard?"

"...how could it be." Andrea's eyes softened, she put her hand on the other person's body and hugged him a little closer, and said in a low voice, "As for Ace, you can come to our house, I'm sorry Both Lu Jiu and I are grateful."

[120 eight]

The next day, Ace was back to normal, looking as alive as ever.

Andrea observed for a while, and after confirming that it was not a faux pas but had really recovered, she let out a sigh of relief and let the matter go.

And after that... Naturally, it was her usual time to make an appointment with Hawkeye.

Fighting on the uninhabited island is much more refreshing than before, because there is no need to worry about the sequelae and the scope of the spread.

Of course, a few children cannot be taken with them, and they are all thrown on the boat, and then a group of people rush to watch with binoculars.

Sabo and Ace are okay, after all, this is not the first time we have met.Luffy and Bepo were yelling at each other, and although Luo was very quiet and begged the people around him to be quiet, his expression showed that he was actually very excited and fascinated - this is the desire to become stronger .

A group of people gathered together and muttered to watch, but in the back they turned into noisy watching while eating snacks.

The battle lasted until the evening, and the two people who had just met each other were clinking glasses, drinking and chatting in a very friendly atmosphere.

"Your sword energy is getting stronger and stronger, Mihawk."

"You, too, have become more and more domineering. It seems that you have not slack off on weekdays."

"That's natural. For a swordsman, something like swordsmanship should be engraved deep into the bone marrow and into the soul."

Hawkeye also quite agrees with this point - after all, he is a person who farms, collects vegetables and cooks on a daily basis.

You must know that Andrea learned all her little vegetable growing skills from Hawkeye, even when the two of them just came back from hunting and found that these were already waiting for them to finish hunting, they were hungry and ate their dinner first Finally, Hawkeye went to cook.

The three brothers didn't feel anything about it, only Luo's eyes were a little shocked and tangled.

Andrea didn't care about this either, this kind of communication was normal for her friendship with Hawkeye, and she even sent the seasonings she collected from her previous travels to Hawkeye. After the good red wine, he also said that he would go to get it later.

After that, of course it was the return trip.

As for the head-to-head battle between her and Hawkeye that was reported in the newspaper... Andrea was really curious, where did the newspaper get its news from, and there were even photos.

The newspapers praised her quite highly... But she was quite happy to fully affirm her status as a swordsman.

Andrea put down the newspaper after reading it, and gave Newsbird a piece of French fries for consumption—since the last time he reached an extra deal with Newsbird, that Newsbird has been very hospitable and made a special trip to come to the first place every time. A newspaper was delivered to her.

And the newspaper containing this news naturally spread to various places.

The sound of each place is actually different.

Some are shocked...

——[Sword Demon and Hawkeye fight... Oh my god!Is this triangle relationship not over yet? !So is it the redhead or the eagle eye? 】

There is pure joy...

——【Leah looks very energetic, Dad, you don't have to worry too much. 】

And getting nervous...

——[Boss, the relationship between Miss Lia and Hawkeye looks good! 】

——【Hahahaha, that's natural. 】

—— [boss, aren't you nervous! 】

——[What's there to be nervous about?It's better to say that the relationship between the three of us is very good. 】

At the same time, there are also those who are encouraged by it...

——[Sauron, look!Sword Demon and Hawkeye are head to head!A female swordsman can also become the number one in the world!I will work hard to become the world's number one swordsman! 】

And feel threatened...

——[Sword ghost... just attacking Tianlongren, if she has other movements in the follow-up, with such strength, it will be a big trouble.Hawkeye or Sword Demon, one of them must become Qiwuhai. 】

Everyone thinks differently and reacts differently.

Andrea didn't know all of this, and she didn't think about it. Now she has more things to care about-the future of her children.

Sabo found Andrea and told about his detailed experience after being captured and his confusion.

"Mom, I thought pirates were the most free, so I yearned to be a pirate before... But now I feel that if I become a pirate, I can only change myself. I don't know what to do..."

Andrea actually understood Sabo's problems a long time ago, knowing that he would experience them sooner or later.It's just that he didn't expect him to start thinking about it so early.

She listened quietly, and after listening to what he said, she stretched out her hand and patted the other person's head, and said softly: "You actually have two choices. One is to take the road of nobility, to change the nobility, from top to bottom Change. Another one is to take the path of the revolutionary army, break everything, and re-establish the rules.”

Sabo leaned against Andrea's arms, nodding thoughtfully.

After a long silence, he asked, "Then can I join Mr. Long and the others?"

Andrea laughed: "Of course."

"But I don't want to leave everyone."

"Then it's the same as what was discussed before. You will leave after your 17th birthday is over when you grow up."

Sabo's doubts were resolved, so it was the next turn.

"Mom, I don't want to be a bounty hunter anymore. But I don't really want to be a pirate..." Ace nestled in Andrea's arms, lying on his stomach, telling his troubles, " Sabo wants to go to the Revolutionary Army, right? I originally wanted to be freer and learn from you, Mom. But Mom, you are no longer a bounty hunter, and I don’t want to deal with the Navy. But I don’t want to be a pirate either, Lu Fei wants to be the Pirate King... Although Roger is my own father, I also think his experience is quite interesting, but I like my mother more and don't want to imitate him."

It may be because Sabo and Luffy have different paths. Ace does not have the same idea as the brothers, but wants to be independent and choose something else.

Andrea patted his head, and replied patiently: "Then Ace, you can actually be a simple adventurer. When you are short of money, just rob the bad guys. You don't have to catch pirates to fight The navy offers a reward. It’s also very free, and you can happily do what you want.”

"Hey? An adventurer? Then I'll be an adventurer!" Ace immediately confirmed his new goal and became happy again.

As for Luffy...

The little boy wearing a straw hat ran wildly at the door of the house, jumping up and down, waving a waste water pipe that he didn't know where he picked up, and shouted: "Mom! I want to become the One Piece—! Find the legendary One piece——!"

Andrea, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, took a sip from her teacup without raising her head. She turned over a page of the newspaper in her hand to read the serialized comics on it, and responded calmly to this sentence. The declaration was perfunctory: "Okay, okay, come on, baby."
