The logbook of a retired knight

【34】

After entering the great route from the four seas, there is a choice of route.

Once the route is determined, the first half of the route cannot be changed. These routes will all gather in the Chambord Islands and cross the red earth continent to enter the second half of the new world.

Andrea saw the news of the Red Heart Pirates established by Luo in the newspaper, and calculated the time according to the location. She felt that if she rushed to find someone, it would be better to go directly to the Chambord Islands and wait for them, so she simply planned up the itinerary.

Of course, on the way to the Chambord Islands, she also had to hold Esther for training—a training about domineering.

Andrea's strongest strength is knowledge-based domineering, but this is more intuitive, and she doesn't know how to guide it, but armed-color domineering is okay-because she was originally very weak, and she improved it by learning , I know how to improve and teach people.

Ace's mastery of armed domineering is also very fast. It's better to say that he has used it unconsciously. Now that he has learned the system, he will naturally master it very quickly.He was inherently talented and intelligent.

But there was one thing that made Andrea quite melancholy - she found that Ace had a domineering look.

But she can't teach this, because she doesn't have this... Shanks and Whitebeard can teach, but they are too far away, their affairs have not been resolved, it is impossible to go to the new world to find someone to learn this .

Andrea could only put this matter on hold for the time being, regrettably, and bring it up to the agenda later when the time is right.

However, she was quite happy that Ace had such aptitude, and she patted Ace's head and praised: "This is a natural king's aptitude. Our Ace is indeed the chosen child."

Ace was not interested in this: "Isn't mom there?"

Of course, what he said was not because he felt that his mother didn't have it and looked down on his mother, but rather an indifferent attitude of "my mother doesn't have it and I don't want this thing".

Andrea doesn't regret that she doesn't have it. In her opinion, domineering look and arrogance are special skills bestowed by this world on the chosen ones, but she wasn't originally from this world, so it's not normal.and……

"Mom was also chosen, but the things she was given were different from everyone else." Andrea smiled at Yanyan, her eyes were gentle, "This is the proof of being favored by the world, so cherish it."

Andrea really thinks that way, after all, in her world view, the world will favor and give blessings.

"But being favored also comes with more tests and responsibilities."

"Then my responsibility is to protect mom and Luffy."

"Oh, it sounds really reliable."

Andrea laughed, and felt that it fit Ace's character very well.At the same time, she couldn't help thinking that Ace was really like herself in terms of becoming stronger to protect her family.

Of course, Andrea didn't realize that, to some extent, this has also become one of the evidences of her, Ace, and Whitebeard's three-generation kinship.

Even because no one would ask her in person, and she also thought that the "father-daughter" relationship mentioned by others was the same as that of the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, Andrea has not realized so far, and outsiders are acquiescing to her It's Whitebeard's own daughter.

At this time, she just smiled and happily took out the book after finishing the class.

"Since today's special training has been completed ahead of schedule, let's have some cultural lessons. Just before Luffy and the others left, Robin gave me a few books...Smelly boy! Don't sleep! I haven't started the lecture yet you Can you sleep until your nose is bubbling!?"

【35】

If there is one thing that remains the same from childhood to adulthood besides the dependence on mother, it is Ace's desire to skip class for ten years.

Of course, Andrea couldn't let him go, and now he was the only child by her side, so her one-on-one guidance would be more convenient to keep an eye on.

Andrea also asked about the progress of the class after she left.

"That Luo guy gave us lessons. Later, after he went to sea, it was Sabo who taught us, and Sabo and I gave lessons to Luffy."

Andrea's eyes lit up: "Huh? Will Luffy listen to the class well? Is he making progress in his studies?"

As the saying goes, peers teach because they are familiar with the method and it is easier to concentrate, and they may learn faster...

Ace looked proud: "He knows how a gentleman writes!"

Andrea: "..." Isn't this the same progress as when she left? !What are you proud of, brat!

She raised her hand and raised her forehead: "Okay... so how about your study progress?"

Then, she saw her grown-up son's eyes wandering, with the same guilty expression on his face as when he was a child.

Andrea: "..." His fist hardened.

When Ace read the book reluctantly with the bag on his head caused by the iron fist of love, they also met Luo and the others when they were about to reach the Chambord Islands.

This is the advantage of the pirate group - you can recognize people by looking at the pattern of the pirate flag.

Ace looked even happier than Andrea, standing on the side of the boat, he greeted the other side excitedly and shouted: "Hey—Ro—Bepo——"

Andrea looked helplessly at his energetic appearance, always feeling happy that this was another excuse for the child to skip class.

On the other side, on the submarine of the Red Heart Pirates, the black-haired young man wearing a plush hat and holding a demon sword and crying ghostly expressionlessly, did not respond.

It's not that he doesn't have any brotherly love... it's that it's simply annoying.

After his teacher left, Trafalgar Law, who shouldered the heavy responsibility to take over the burden of supporting the family, had the highest respect for the teacher in that year-the three children who raised him like this have not yet Throwing people away, the teacher is really kind.

In the year when he was finally able to go to sea, Luo took Beibo together in the farewell of the three brothers and the people of Windmill Village, and left. There might be a little sadness in his heart, but he was still full of joy on the whole—— Bye now!Little bastards!

In fact, it's not that the three brothers are bad people, the three are really good, and they are very loyal people.And all three of them know his life experience, and they don't have any bad opinions, especially Ace, who also said that he traded secrets for secrets and told him his own life experience-the son of Roger, the Pirate King.

Luo was very shocked when he first learned about this incident, but after thinking about it, he found it reasonable-indeed, if it wasn't for this level of identity, Teacher Liya would not have been hiding Ace's life experience.

Ever since paying homage to Lu Jiu, Luo knew that Ace was actually not his teacher's parent-child, but his nephew.

But... Even if the relationship is good, he still trusts the three of them, but this does not conflict with being tortured by the three of them every day!

Luffy is a person who still follows his own way after hearing the plan; Ace is a person who has a rebellious mentality and wants to follow the plan after hearing the plan; Sabo is a person who seems to have a plan and understands the plan but still People who will mess around, and even say that he is planning to mess around, don't worry about it.

If it is said that Ace is the person who misses Andrea the most in that family, Na Luo is definitely the second most missed person.

Even compared to the time of missing, maybe he is the first one.

Although what Ace was thinking about was—Mom!You must have nothing to do!

What Luo misses is—teacher!This home cannot live without you!

Although he has always refused to join this brother group, when Luo was in this family, he did take on the responsibility of the eldest brother.

Even though he kept saying that he was not happy, but when Ace and Sabo went to sea, he was the one who was always paying attention to the movements of the two.

As for this time...

"Ahhh—it's Miss Leah—" Beppo yelled there, raised his paw and waved excitedly, "Ace——Miss Leah—!"

Luo showed astonishment, and looked over quickly.

【36】

Luo thought about it after calming down, and thought it was reasonable—although he saw that Teacher Leah was in the New World, but according to Ace's personality, he would definitely go to find the teacher immediately.And according to his mother's level, it is absolutely impossible to leave the teacher for a short time to do activities on his own...so he will indeed appear with the teacher.

Andrea naturally didn't know about her disciple's mental activities. She looked at the young man who was half a head taller than herself in surprise, and said in an exclamation, "Luo, you've grown up! Are you the captain now? It seems to be very reliable."

As for the child's rebellious tattoo, she will not ask about it for the time being.

After all, the child's crew is still there, so give him some face.

Luo looked at the woman in front of him, and was dazed for a moment——teacher, she didn't look much different from when she left... The only thing that has changed is that when I was young, I needed to look up, but when I grow up, I have to bow my head .

He opened his mouth slightly: "Li..."

He hadn't finished saying "Teacher Lia" when he was overwhelmed by Bebo at the side.

Beppo came up to Andrea's arms with tears in his eyes, and cried loudly: "Miss Leia, whoa, whoah——"

"Oh, our little Bebo has grown so big." Andrea was very satisfied with Furry who took the initiative to throw herself into her arms. While rubbing each other's fur, she comforted him softly, " What's wrong?"

The grown-up Bepo is much taller, but it doesn't prevent it from kneeling down and directly lowering its height, just squeezed into the opponent's arms and acted like a baby: "Uuuuuu Miss Leah, I miss you so much—"

Ace folded his hands on his chest, with a bit of disgust on his face: "Bepo, you are really spoiled, it's embarrassing."

"..." Luo couldn't help turning his head to stare at him—although he had never seen him before, he inferred that this guy was the least qualified to say Beibo in the whole family.

It was a lucky reunion in advance, and Andrea greeted Luo's other crew members with a smile, and then talked with Luo alone.

Including Ace was cleared by her - after all, she still wanted to ask Luo about the great achievements of her little hapless bastards when she was not around.This little hapless guy also includes Ace.

However, Luo is not a person who will sue behind his back. He did not talk about what happened when he was a child, but talked about the movements of Ace and Sabo after going to sea, and the movements of Doflamingo that he investigated.

"I found out... Doflamingo may have secretly made a deal with Kaido."

Andrea was taken aback, with an incredulous expression on her face: "Kaido? Kaido, the Four Emperors?"

"Well... But the news needs to be further investigated. Sabo also said that the Revolutionary Army is also investigating, and we will exchange information on this matter." Luo said seriously.

"This is indeed something worth noting..." Andrea pondered for a moment, then said again, "I met Mr. Kuzan before, and according to his information, Marshal Sengoku intends to recruit you or Ace to become the new Shichibukai .”

Luo was taken aback, and realized: "The vacancy caused by Sand Crocodile's delisting... Ace must not be happy, right?"

As he said, he bowed his head and began to think about the possibility of this: "Qiwuhai is used as a restraint. Although I hate the navy and the world government, joining Qiwuhai can indeed make further contact..."

"Luo!" Andrea frowned, and called out to the other party, "Don't force yourself to do things you don't like."

Luo froze for a moment, looked at her, and continued after a while: "...No, it's just that it fits the plan."

"There must be more than one kind of plan, right? You have to take your own mood into consideration." Andrea looked at the other party because she was refuted, and she turned her head slightly to look away, looking a little at a loss. The stern expression gradually softened.

Maybe it's because he wasn't really an adopted son, Luo was already 13 years old when he adopted him, and he had his own ideas and opinions, plus his experience... Different from the three troublemakers in his own family, Luo met again When she was with her, Andrea could feel that the other party should be happy, but at the same time, she seemed quite restrained and distant, unlike when she was a child.

Andrea sighed, stood up and walked to him, wrapped his shoulders with one hand and hugged him into her arms.Because Luo himself was sitting, Andrea didn't have to lower her head this time, her chin just touched the other's furry hat.

This made Andrea a little distracted—this hat... Could the raw material be Bepo's hair?

But this distraction was just a moment, and she came back soon: "Okay, now that I'm back, some things can be re-planned... I really miss that little boy who called Teacher Liya when he encountered something when he was young. "

"...I'm not a child anymore." The black-haired young man leaning on her arms said in a muffled voice.
