The logbook of a retired knight

[120 nine]

"Another Shichibukai..." Andrea flipped through the news about the establishment of the new Shichibukai in the newspaper, frowned, and couldn't help murmuring.

She probably understands the reason for the Qiwuhai system under the king - the left and right are just balancing forces.

Leaving aside the four sea areas, after all, they are separated by windless belts, so they are relatively safe.

As far as the most important great route is concerned, it is divided into two sections.The first half is Paradise, and the second half is New World.

The new world is currently divided among the three major forces - the Whitebeard Pirates, the Bigo Pirates, and the Hundred Beasts Pirates.

These are all established forces, and it is quite difficult to carve up the territory.Maybe Roger was one of the best before, but with the disbandment of the Roger Pirates and Roger's execution, naturally this wave of power can be regarded as disappearing.

And... here, it doesn't look at a single person, but at power and scale.

And the naval headquarters represented by the world government forces is also on the great route, which can be said to be a hedge against these major forces in the new world.

The Qiwuhai under the king is what the world government thought of, and it exists as a buffer zone in the middle.

This is not to say how powerful the Qiwuhai under the king is, and can compete with the navy or the three major forces... but a kind of guidance.

It is difficult for pirates entering the new world to compete with the existing forces, and they will face the situation of joining if they can't beat them, running away or dying.And if you look back... it is the existence of the navy.

This can easily lead to the fact that the forces in the New World are getting stronger and stronger - anyway, the pirates will definitely not join the navy, so if they can't stand on their own, it is also a good choice to seek refuge in a powerful force.

The world government must not sit idly by and watch such a situation happen. At this time, the appearance of Shichibukai seems to be a sign, telling the pirates that they can actually cooperate with the navy, and there is a gray area between black and white. This is the so-called political buffer zone.

So fundamentally speaking, the system of Qiwuhai under the king is good for maintaining the balance of the existing world order.

Although she hates the world government, Andrea still approves of this system—although there are some good pirates, as far as the pirates she has dealt with before, she knows what kind of people most pirates are .

It is still a good thing for civilians to be able to curb the power of pirates.

But at the same time, she is also very clear that the world government is not doing this for the common people.

The appearance of so many rampant pirates is precisely because of the operation of the world government-the world government requires all countries to hand over expensive heavenly gold, and those who cannot pay it will not be protected, which will naturally become a hotbed of crime and further lead to pirates. The expansion of power.

Because these people can't live without becoming pirates, they either starve to death or are trafficked into slaves by human traffickers.

These things, Andrea told him one by one while listening to Sabo's questions while teaching alone.

"So... is there a way out for what Mr. Long and the others have done? Can it change the status quo?" Sabo asked.

"For this question, you need to find out by yourself, Sabo. But in my opinion, if there is a way to change the current structure of this world, it must be only Mr. Long and the others." Andrea sighed, watching Looking at the thoughtful Sabo, he smiled, "This is the end of today's class, let's go play with Ace and the others."

Andrea watched Sabo run away after responding, then looked at the newspaper again, frowned again, and her expression became dignified—this time the new king Shichibukai was still a crew member of Tiger, and now the Sun Pirate The captain of the regiment... this must be a deal, right?

It's better to say that the Qiwuhai under the king have all reached deals with the government.

Just like the captain of the Nine Snake Pirates in the past two years, Boa Hancock, the queen of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, felt that he became the king of the Qiwuhai for the sake of the people.

As for the matter before, did the current Warring States Marshal and the former Warring States General want to recruit Hawkeye... because of Hawkeye's personal strength and popularity?

Andrea didn't think of a reason, but was interrupted by the noise from far and near.

"Let go of me bastard!"

"Is this your mother's education?! You should call me grandpa!"

"Mom said you don't need to be polite to people who are rude! And my grandpa has a white beard!"

"Bastard! Let go of Ace!"

"...Stinky boy, what are you calling?! It seems that not only have you not learned well here, but you have become more and more arrogant! Come back with me!"

"I don't want it! Mom, help me!"

Andrea was silent for a while, the corners of her mouth twitched, she got up and went over, and at the same time held down Luo who was about to sneak attack and save someone: "It's okay Luo, that's Luffy's grandpa anyway, give him face."

【130】

Andrea was a little surprised by Garp's arrival, but it was reasonable - this was his hometown, and it was normal for him to come back to see his grandson.

Although……

"Why is this kid still saying that he wants to be a pirate?!"

"Lieutenant General Karp, this is your grandson's problem. The other children I raise don't have this problem! You should reflect on yourself, look at your son!"

"Huh? Have you seen a dragon?!"

Garp was surprised that Andrea had met the dragon, but after hearing what Andrea said about Sabo and the series of events, he also understood what was going on.

At the same time, although he was frustrated by his grandson's stubbornness, he also understood that the three of them were stubborn, and it was impossible to really blame Leah for this.

Look at Ace, he has no interest in becoming a pirate, he just wants to be an adventurer.

Garp sighed, looked at Luo, who had an unhappy face and was rather covetous, and whispered loudly to Andrea with some hesitation: "Is this the son of you and Hawkeye?"

Andrea and Luo retorted with black faces at the same time: "That's not true! This is my student, I'm Teacher Liya's student!"

"It's like this." Garp said with admiring eyes, "I didn't look carefully when I came last time. Your disciple seems to be well-raised by you! How about the little guy? Are you interested in becoming a navy?"

In an instant, Luo's expression was not only unhappy, but his eyes became fierce, revealing a murderous look.

Andrea was shocked by Garp's ability to step on mines - let an exiled survivor whose entire country was wiped out by the navy become a navy. If Luo really agreed, he would go undercover to destroy the navy.

"How could my disciple become a navy!" Andrea naturally didn't talk about Luo's question, and naturally brought the topic up, throwing all the reasons on herself.

Garp looked back at her: "Is it because of the previous reward?"

"When the navy is free to fight the Tianlong people, I will let my children go. Otherwise, my children and the children I raised will not be allowed to be in the navy. What's more..." Andrea slightly Squinting, "I didn't ask the navy to settle the matter with Lu Jiu, not because I didn't want to. Do you understand, Mr. Garp?"

Cap was silent and didn't speak.He had also sheltered Lu Jiu for a while, and he understood how good the relationship between the two sisters was.

"Of course, I have always been grateful for the help you gave us at that time, and I will give you face in many things." Andrea said blankly, "And then, you didn't come here to recruit the navy right?"

"Ah, that's not true." Garp sat down opposite her, picked up the senbei on the table, chewed it, and said vaguely, "Sengoku wants you to be the king of Shichibukai."

Andrea: "...Huh?"

[130 one]

Karp's purpose for coming here is actually very simple - to help spread a message.

And after thinking about it for a while, Andrea roughly understood the intention of the Warring States Period—if the unstable factors still make it difficult to fight, then recruit security.

"Warring States said that if you agree, the Tianlongren matter will be written off. The World Government promises not to trouble you."

Andrea took a sip of tea and said slowly: "No need, next time I see that Tianlongren, if he still dares to be arrogant, I will kill him directly."

"Young people, don't have such a temper! Ace learned from you, right?" Garp was not surprised that Andrea would refuse.

In addition to the fact that he is already familiar with Andrea, knowing her temper and thoughts, there is another point...

"So, Whitebeard is really your father?" Garp asked suddenly.

Andrea was stunned for a moment, showing helplessness, and said leisurely: "Mr. Whitebeard really treats me like a daughter. I am very happy about this. I am just ashamed. After all, I am not a pirate and I will not become a pirate. Call him Dad. But I treat him like a father in my heart."

Andrea's subtext is obvious-Whitebeard is very moved by her protection, and Whitebeard is purely protecting her without any other utilitarian purpose.It's just that she won't be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, so she can't call each other daddy like everyone else.But in her heart she respected him as much as anyone else.

This statement, as long as it is a smart person can understand - like Long, Shanks, Hawkeye, including Luo who seems to be doing his own thing and is actually listening secretly, will understand.

But the one listening now is Karp.

Karp listened, his expression was a bit complicated, and he understood that he had made a twist and turn - so... Although they still don't recognize each other, the father and daughter have basically reconciled.That's right, judging from the fact that both Lu Jiu and Andrea live on Batherilla Island, the inside story is a bit complicated.

Both sides didn't know what the other was thinking, but they reached a consensus and understood each other strangely, and didn't talk about this issue any more.

Garp didn't leave immediately this time, but stayed for a while, and also trained Luffy there.Ace and Sabo were also caught and trained together.

Andrea didn't stop her - her special training method didn't have any better systematic training besides exercising the physical strength of the three brothers, but Karp's method of training the navy was quite suitable for the three of them, and she happened to be Luo can be given further special training.

Of course, the cultural lessons of the three cannot be left behind.

As for Bepo... Bepo was miserable. Andrea indulged him, but he was dragged into special training with the three brothers just because he was watching curiously.

Garp stayed here for a month, and told Andrea about the follow-up training methods to supervise the three brothers.

After he left, Luo quietly complained: "Mr. Karp still wants the three brothers to be in the navy!" He also went to watch quietly out of curiosity, and found that Karp taught the concept of naval discipline in addition to the three-man battle. etc... Of course, the latter is a total failure.

Luo is not surprised by this—Ms. Leah’s systematic, useful, and persuasive gentleman education method can only make Sabo learn superficially, Ace learn one-sidedly, and Luffy only knows ramen. Garp’s indoctrination method will No wonder it's useful.

"Mr. Garp has worked very hard." Andrea's words were not a complaint - Garp really worked hard, but his son became the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his grandson shouted all day long to be the One Piece King, which is beyond his ability Controlled.

After Garp left, Andrea looked at the family's reserves and decided to travel again.

Luo's medical books need to be replenished, and some supplies at home need to go outside, and... I have already told Ace about Lu Jiu, and she wants to take Ace back to Batheria Island to see, and also pay homage to Lu Jiu .

And I made an appointment with Hawkeye to go there before, and the children just know Hawkeye, so it should be fine to bring the whole family there this time... right?
