The logbook of a retired knight

【85】

In fact, I can't blame Raleigh for thinking crookedly.

The most important thing is that Ace was taken by Andrea when she was born. If she didn't say it, no one would think that the two were not mother and son.

It's like if the Navy hadn't investigated Andrea's identity, it wouldn't have found the clue.

Raleigh's shock was not surprising to Andrea - after all, this was indeed big news.

She continued on with a serious face: "Shanks knew, but I didn't say it, but he guessed it... In order to protect Ace, I originally wanted to keep this secret. Yes. But not long ago, the Navy found out about it, and I think it’s better to tell you Roger’s former friends.”

Lei Li and Xia Qi beside him were shocked.

Xia Qi dropped the cigarette in her hand. After listening to this part, she picked up the cigarette again, took a puff slowly, and exhaled slowly: "It looks like this... Brother Ace actually belongs to that Roger..."

Xia Qi's tone and eyes became a little complicated for a while.

Because of this, Riley recalled the first time he met Ace, and when Andrea led him to ask about Roger.

At that time, Raleigh was just being curious about One Piece's life. Now that I think about it, Andrea's mother's arrangement is really well-intentioned.

Now that they are connected together, he really wants to ask Shanks what that brat wants to do.It's fine to recognize the captain's son, isn't it too much for the wife to want to inherit together? !

Lei Li sighed: "You have paid a lot as a mother..."

Andrea followed with a sigh: "Where, I am only doing what I can, not as good as what Ace's biological mother did..."

Raleigh: "...Huh? Biological mother?"

Andrea looked at the other party's stunned look, and was also stunned: "...Huh? Ace's biological father is Roger, and his biological mother is naturally not me. His biological mother is my sister Lujiu...Rayleigh What are you thinking sir?!"

After that, Andrea, with a dark face, explained what Roger and their sisters knew at the time, and the major blow she faced after returning home.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Lei Li also heaved a sigh of relief and apologized with a laugh.

Andrea glared at him with displeased eyes, her anger still lingering.But because he still wants to be a teacher for his young son, she will not pursue this for the time being.

After laughing, Raleigh also realized something: "Is this why you let Ace be an adventurer?"

Andrea was taken aback, then shook her head: "I promised Lujiu that I would protect Ace and let him choose the path he wants to take when he grows up...whether it's becoming the One Piece or being a baker. "

Rayleigh looked at her and said with a smile, "You are indeed well protected."

Andrea lowered her eyes, smiled and said softly: "As a mother, I always feel that I haven't done enough for my children."

Andrea didn't stay too long in Chambord Islands.

If Rayleigh wants to train Luffy, he definitely can't be in Chambord, but there are also good places for them to choose from - the uninhabited island attached to Daughter's Island.

While chatting with Rayleigh, Andrea was surprised to learn that, in fact, Rayleigh also knew Hancock, and he even helped Hancock when he was a child... Although in terms of formal meeting occasions, Bo Ya Hancock has no fluctuations in this childhood helper, and even has a faint feeling of confrontation-because Rayleigh asked the other party to stop disturbing Luffy's special training.

Although Luffy will not be bewitched by Hancock's beauty like everyone else, the piles of meat brought by Hancock are indeed very tempting.

Andrea felt that there was no problem with Luffy, and she also had her own things to do—first of all, according to what was said before, she took Luo to visit the grave.

It's just that on the way to the grave, Andrea looked a little melancholy, and sighed a long time: "I thought, Luo, you are the most well-behaved one in the family... At what point did you also get infected with bad things?" What about habits?"

If the three brothers were there, they would definitely sue that Luo Yuan was like that.

Fortunately, they were not there, so Luo just stood still, silently walking behind his teacher without speaking.

Luo Xindi's cemetery was established by the Warring States Period. After sending flowers routinely, Andrea left time alone for Luo and walked aside by herself.

It was also at this time that Warring States came over.

He looked at the young man standing in front of the tomb with his head bowed, and slowly said: "Rosinindi...is a child I always regard as my own...he is honest and has a sense of justice, and I trust him very much...but he Lied to me the only time... and the last time."

"Before that, Rossindi once mentioned to me that in the Don Quixote family, there is a [boy with platinum-lead disease]..." Zhan Guo said, his eyes fell back to Andre who was looking over there On that day, the fruit of the operation disappeared. Rocindi also died... That boy was your apprentice. Rocindi gave him the fruit of the operation to save him, and he died because of it, right? "

Andrea met his gaze, smiled, and didn't speak, but it was already a tacit consent.

"It's like this... That's right, you can tell from the information that Rosindi gave you and asked you to pass on... At that time, he also entrusted that boy to you, right? It really...caused you a lot of trouble Ah. Thanks to you for taking over all of this directly."

Andrea smiled slightly: "It's not too troublesome. Although I only had a brief conversation with Rosindi, he trusts me so much. Naturally, I can't let you down. This is also etiquette."

"Etiquette..." Warring States chuckled, "Are you an aristocrat? Or at least you used to be an aristocrat?"

Andrea remained silent again this time.

However, from the perspective of the Warring States Period, this is a default.

"...If it weren't for the fact that you are Shichibukai now, and I need to cooperate with you to maintain the image of the world government, I would definitely take action." Sengoku said, "The fruit of the operation was originally what the government wanted."

Andrea still kept smiling: "Then after I leave office, will you take action, Marshal?"

"At that time, I also resigned. That is something the new marshal should worry about."

"Oh, what a cunning approach."

After the two finished talking, they stopped talking, only the rustling of the wind blowing grass around them.

After a while, Warring States continued to speak.

"You know Rosindi's background, don't you?"

"Well, Luo told me."

"After seeing you for the first time, Rossindi came to tell me very excitedly that he had met his parents' ideal nobleman."

Andrea was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, she chuckled and said, "He himself is that ideal nobleman."

Zhan Guo paused in his footsteps, chuckled with unknown meaning, turned his back, and hid all his disappointment.After a few seconds, he walked away.

Andrea watched the other party go away, and after a while, she looked away, looked at Luo who was walking towards her, and walked to the other side: "It's okay, we can come again."

On the way back, Andrea chatted with him about the family affairs in a relaxed tone.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period belongs to Rossindi...is he considered an adoptive father? He should still love Rossindi very much. He just chatted with me about family affairs."

"He found out who you are...but don't worry, he won't do anything."

"Let's talk about the rest later... Are you going to target Doflamingo later?"

"Well..." Luo finally said, "My life was given by Mr. Corazon, and I will fight against Doflamingo on his behalf... But, I don't know, have I followed Mr. Corazon's expectations? live like that."

"Huh?" Andrea glanced at him, tilted her head slightly and frowned for a while, figured out the key point, and said after a moment of silence, "I once promised Ace's biological mother that he would grow up. Choose the path you want to take when you grow up, and do what you like to do... If Rosindi had entrusted you to me in front of me, I would have made the same promise."

Luo was startled, and looked at her suddenly, meeting her gentle smile.

"I think Rossindi must have the same idea. He is not a person with such a strong desire to control. He must hope that you survive and then... live freely." Andrea said, thinking of herself His youngest son, said with emotion, "If you really want to give D something content...From Roger, to Luffy, to Ace...I feel that the only thing in common is freedom."

She subconsciously jumped over herself.

After all, her D is really different from this world... Her middle name D is just an honor awarded by the nobles in her world!Aristocrats have middle names!

After Luo was silent for a while, he bowed his head and hummed softly.

Andrea laughed when she saw him like that, reached out and rubbed the other person's head, but still felt that something was wrong, so she took off his hat and rubbed his hair.

"...Ms. Leah—!"

"Ah, but that's Rosindi's expectation. I still don't want to see you become bad..."

"...I haven't, it's so annoying that Eustace is in charge."

"What's the matter with your oral habit of addressing people? Didn't you have this habit when you were young?"

No matter how Luo provokes others outside by putting on a bad face and giving the middle finger, he is still obedient in front of his teacher.

So Andrea didn't criticize anything, and told Luo many things about going to deal with Doflamingo before letting him go.

The children have their own plans, and she will definitely not dictate when they grow up—you must know that when she was young, except for teaching etiquette, she was also a child free development school.

After Luo is done here, she only needs to do one more thing, and she can go to see Ace!

Although... this matter is much more difficult than she imagined.

Andrea really couldn't understand why Sauron, who was so big, ran away before she turned around and said a word to the fruit seller to pay the bill.

In the end, she had to tie someone up with a rope and lead her away, and when the other party protested, she smiled and gave a death stare: "Roronoa Zoro, even a three-year-old Luffy, wouldn't be like You are also so easy to get lost, if you can't recognize your own way, don't raise objections to this behavior, understand?"

Sauron: "...Okay, okay."

Andrea felt that it was a good thing that this was not her apprentice. If this was her child, then she should have spent half of her time looking for children when she was a child.If it weren't for the fact that this was her youngest son's crew, she would definitely have considered throwing him away secretly at this time, pretending that he lost his way... Bah, he was the one who got lost in the first place!

Hurry up and throw it to Hawkeye, anyway, Hawkeye admired him a lot before.The sword skills of the two are also quite compatible.

It's just... Andrea didn't expect that she would successfully get rid of the lost-attribute green algae head in such a way.

But...it's not without any price for me, but a limit of one for one.

"Huh? Going to the red-haired pirates?" The pink-haired girl floating in mid-air with a small parasol in one hand and a doll in the other was next to her, her tone revealing a bit of anxiety, "That's the Four Emperors... It will be scary! You will protect me, right? You still have to take me to Lord Moria!"

"I just said that I met your colleague, and I didn't promise that kind of thing... Forget it, follow me first."
