The logbook of a retired knight

【ten】

While Andrea coaxed Ace in a low voice, the rest of the red-haired pirates couldn't keep silent anymore, from the basically ineffective eye contact at the beginning to whispering in secret.

They really can't blame them for being like this.

You know, at the very beginning, everyone could at best see what their captain was thinking, and then ask questions about the mystery of Ace's life experience, but everyone generally guessed that it might be... that's all.

Later, Ace said it himself, and then when Ace came to them to ask about the whereabouts of the sword ghost when he grew up, basically everyone acquiesced to this recognized false fact, including Beckman. wrong.

Even because of Whitebeard's speech and the confrontation with the Whitebeard Pirates, although the two sides still have a sense of confrontation, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates basically treats Ace like "Oh, this kid I have seen since I was a child." The attitudes of "I'm looking forward to growing up" and "Go home and see when I have time, big nephew" are full of confusion.

Even though they have not formed an alliance with anyone, they seem to have a wonderful relationship.

No wonder Bigo couldn't sit still at that time, and even sent a marriage request.

Of course, everyone laughed when they saw it, and even made fun of Ace.A few bad-hearted people even said that Bigo might come to snatch the marriage. It's another matter to scare Ace and run to White Beard to hide.

In short—although everyone acquiesced in Ace's identity, everyone tacitly did not mention Andrea's disappearance.

In fact, they all know that whether it is the red-haired pirates or the white-bearded pirates, they are inquiring for news in private, although they have always been silent.

Under such circumstances, when someone said that the sword ghost appeared in Bigo's territory, everyone was shocked and immediately reported it to their own captains. When it comes to the position of the Four Emperors, every force has an intelligence network that is not inferior to the navy. .

This is why Shanks can pick up Andrea so quickly.

Of course, Beckman also mentioned that Shanks is the captain after all, and it was easy to cause conflicts among the Four Emperors in the past. It is better for him to go... But Shanks said, "But if you go, Leah may not come with you." "It's blocked.

Well, anyway, you are the captain and you have the final say. —Beckman decided to give up.

Of course, after Shanks picked up the people, basically all the people's expressions were more or less stunned.

Some of them had met Andrea before, and that was almost ten years ago... But they didn't expect that they basically didn't change much!

Those who have never seen it are even more so—some of them who have seen the reward order are okay, but the first time they have never seen it feels that they have overturned their imagination.

As soon as Andrea came, she greeted a few other people she knew, and then went to take a shower and change clothes.Who made her clothes and coats basically run out because of blood stains.

Of course, since she definitely didn't have any of her clothes on board, she borrowed Shanks's.Although the hem of the shirt was directly tied with a knot at the waist because it was too big.

As for the trousers, she still cut her original trousers into three-point lengths, threw away the blood-stained part and put them on again - after all, there are no trousers of her size on this ship, and aesthetically speaking, she uniformly rejects the existing trousers. changed.

Then she sat down and listened to Shanks telling her all kinds of news... Everyone was no longer surprised when they heard it.

and……

"When I came out, Bigo tried to ask me to have a tea party... but I refused. Does she have a rule of taking the head of a relative if she doesn't attend the tea party?"

"Yes... But you don't have to worry about this one, right? Both my head and Whitebeard's head are very difficult, right?"

"Yeah... No! Don't say such things casually!"

"Hahaha, you're still the same as before, always fussing about this kind of thing."

"It's because you're too casual—speaking of which, Luffy looks like you, right?"

After that, Ace's coming was even more unsurprising, and there was even a subtle feeling of "the three of this family are finally reunited, but White Beard can't come, otherwise there will still be three generations under one roof".

only……

...So is Luffy right?You guys should give me an accurate word! ——This is the voice of some eavesdroppers.

Andrea didn't know that she and Shanks had just entered an ambiguous period that both of them knew well, and the crew of the other party had already helped them arrange the second child.

She rubbed Ace for a while, watched the other party pout his mouth and raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and patiently coaxed him for a long time before coaxing him well.

The period also included guaranteeing that they would not disappear casually again, rubbing their heads and touching their heads, and kissing each other's foreheads as comforting as when they were young.

It makes other people who seem to be walking around inadvertently, but who are actually paying attention can't help but be amazed-no Miss Leah!You dote on children too much, don't you? !This guy is already 20 years old!

Ace obviously knew this too, and said with an unhappy face: "Mom—I'm already 20 years old!"

Anvilia raised her chin slightly, and retorted: "Even if you are 120 years old, you are still a child in the eyes of your mother—"

"I can't live that long..." Ace muttered, but he calmed down, obediently letting his mother caress.

The people who pretended to be onlookers couldn't pretend anymore, they just stopped, and some whispered to their own captain: "Boss, Miss Liya is too spoiled for children!"

Shanks also laughed: "Ace is quite special, after all, she has been carrying it since she was born...and she doesn't just spoil children."

As if verifying Shanks' words, after the coaxing is over, it's time for education.

Andrea's expression changed, she folded her hands on her chest, and said sharply in a reprimanded tone: "Look at what you look like in your clothes now! Is it because you feel hot because you eat the burnt fruit? I need to button your clothes Good! And writing a gentleman on the back of your clothes doesn’t mean you become a gentleman! When you were a child, you wrote gentleman on the front of your clothes for you to see. What kind of invisible tricks are you writing on the back now! What's up with the tattoo on the arm?!"

Ace had something to say about this: "Ro also got tattoos! It's not just me!"

Andrea was angry: "Did you learn from him? Are you the big brother or is he the big brother?! Sabo and Luffy don't do this! And Luo has many advantages, so you can't learn from him." And I will scold him for what he did wrong!"

Looking at the child's current appearance, Andrea felt a bit of a headache—the child had finally grown into his free-form appearance... The only thing left of her education was the two perfunctory characters on the back of the other's jacket...

"And—when did you eat the burning fruit? Didn't I educate you before, unless you have to eat devil fruit?! Also, what happened to fighting the Tianlong people in the Chambord Islands? The commemoration I set up The day is not for you to play around like this! I don’t know if I will be worried?!”

Ace bowed his head obediently: "I'm sorry!"

"You have been like this since you were a child, only when you apologize!"

Ace thought about it, and knelt down to apologize very neatly: "I'm sorry, mom!"

"..." Andrea choked for a moment, raised her hand to rest her forehead, "It's not about your posture of apologizing, and who did you learn this trick from..."

Andrea said, as if thinking of something, she frowned, turned her head and glanced suspiciously at Shanks who was watching a show behind her.

Shanks, who received the attention, paused for a moment, and smiled back: "Ace apologized, Leah, don't be angry!"

Andrea: "...you shut up, or you will be the one I get angry with later."

【twelve】

Andrea is really a little sad-it's really difficult to manage the child when she grows up... Uh, although I didn't manage it well when I was a child.

But Ace did worry her more than the others—this child seemed to be open-minded, but in fact he was very delicate.And she has never left her with her since she was a child... Why do I always feel like I am saying that this child has the highest Mabao Index...

Andrea shook her head to dispel the strange thoughts that came to her, drank the wine in the glass, looked down at Ace who was sleeping on her lap like a child, raised her hand and rubbed The other party's hair, heaved a long sigh, and looked at Shanks aside: "The life card that Ace just said, someone on your side can do it, right?"

The so-called life card is a special product of the new world.It uses human nails as raw materials, which can represent the vitality of the nail owner.

The life card is waterproof and fireproof. In a place like the New World where the magnetic field is chaotic and it is difficult to find people, you can use the life card to see the current situation of your relatives and friends, and even guide the direction of the other party.

Andrea always felt that this was a kind of magic.

Shanks nodded: "That's right, you really need to make one, otherwise it will be unbearable for another seven years."

"It won't happen in the future—the problem over there has been completely solved." Andrea said, she was silent for a while, and then replied, "But the life card is still required. Give me yours too. .”

Shanks stared at her, and when she gave a questioning look, he laughed: "Okay."

"Is it necessary to think for so long..." Andrea complained casually, then tilted her head and thought about her next itinerary, "I always feel that I have to thank Mr. White Beard next... Listen to Ace Now, it might be more troublesome for Sabo, Luffy should be out to sea now, I don’t know what happened to that kid..."

"Luffy, I don't think there's anything to worry about."

"Don't put it so lightly—but indeed, in comparison, that child is indeed the one who needs to worry the least..."

Meanwhile, several other...

In the Heart Pirates in the first half of the Great Route———

"Luo—look, Miss Leah is fine!" Beppo ran around holding the newspaper high with joy on his face.

"I've seen it—don't run away!" Trafalgar Law held his sword, and after yelling at his crew, he turned his head, glanced at the newspaper at hand, and looked at the photos on the newspaper. Originally The tense expression relaxed, revealing a hint of a smile.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters Bardigo———

"Great! Mom, she's fine!"

"Miss Andrea is safe and sound!"

"I just said that Miss Andrea is so nice, she must be fine!"

"Sabo, are you going to see Miss Andrea?" Someone asked after a group of people cheered loudly.

"Let's talk about it after completing the task... Besides, Ace should have gone, so mom won't be too worried about us." Sabo said, "Today is to celebrate the anniversary of mom being fine!"

"Enough! You have too many anniversaries in the Devonshire family!"

And someone praised by his mother as the person who needs to worry the least——

"Hahahaha! I've been offered a reward! Although it's a bit low, mom should be able to see it!" Luffy happily ran around holding his reward token.

"Will your mother be happy to hear the news?" Nami complained, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, "You don't know the seriousness of the matter, how low is 3000 million Baileys! Don't hang around in the East China Sea, hurry up! Go to the great route!"

"Huh? Mother?" Usopp looked over curiously, "It's the first time I heard Luffy say your mother..."

Lu Fei still looked puzzled: "Huh? Is there? You should also know my mother."

"How could we know your mother..." Nami felt even more powerless, but she still thought about it and thought of a possibility, "Huh? Did we meet somewhere before?"

As far as his own captain is so unreliable, it is possible that everyone has seen him walking over, but he didn't mention it...

"On the newspaper." Luffy pointed to the newspaper that Nami bought just now, with a somewhat inexplicable tone, "Didn't you guys still discuss her just now?"

"Huh? We're obviously talking about Sword Demon..." Nami got stuck at this point, and after a long silence, she rushed to Luffy with the other crew members, everyone's expressions were more or less ferocious, " Your mother is a sword ghost?!"

Luffy laughed: "Yes."

The expressions of several people became even more distorted, and they began to tease him: "Why didn't you fucking say it earlier!"
