The logbook of a retired knight

【97】

When Andrea arrived at the side of the Whitebeard Pirates, it can be said to be in an unimpeded mode.

After all, not to mention the people on the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates who have known her for a long time, and the affiliated pirates also remember her deeply.

When Andrea came up, she still kept the purpose of this time in mind, and asked a serious question straight to the point to Marco who came to pick her up: "The other people on the boat think that I am Mr. Whitebeard's own daughter." Will they not mistake me for Mr. Whitebeard's heir?"

Marco laughed at this: "You can ask the old man about this kind of thing... By the way, where did this little girl come from?"

When Perona heard this, she leaned closer to Andrea, her big eyes staring at Marco vigilantly.

Andrea smiled: "This is... uh, I picked it up? Anyway, she's following me for the time being."

After all, you can't just say that this is Moria's subordinate, and then stick to her when you see her from Hawkeye... I always feel that saying this will involve what Hawkeye is doing, why is there a girl in Hawkeye, this Why do girls follow you... It's a topic that becomes wrong when you think about it.

Marco: "...Well, I understand." So you still wonder why others think you are your father's own daughter because of your father's behavior? !

Andrea didn't think of this, because she firmly believed that Perona didn't call her mother, of course it didn't count.

And the fact that she was regarded by the public as the heir of Whitebeard... This is not to say that her political literacy is not enough, after all, she immediately reacted when Shanks said the beginning.

But... how could the heir be so hasty! ? ——Andrea, who had to go through a series of operations such as campaigning, canvassing, voting, referendums, power fights, buying people's hearts, winning over neutral forces, and secretly attacking competitors, was shocked.

It really wasn't her fault for being too dazed, it was simply the sloppy behavior of this world that shocked her once again.

But if you think about it carefully... maybe pirates can understand it.

After so many years in this world, she has a full understanding of the diversity and freedom of pirates.

It's just... She didn't quite know what White Beard was thinking.

Anyway, with a heavy heart, she saw Whitebeard...and just in time to see Whitebeard start drinking again despite the nurse's persuasion.

And Andrea went over to persuade her, but the other party was still urging her words: "Shut up, stupid girl! Stop talking to me! How could the things I want to drink be harmful to my body!"

Andrea: "..."

Knowing that the other party would not listen, Andrea could only snatch the wine from the other party's hand and put it behind her, then said with a straight face: "Then you can't drink while I'm here! And , I have something to tell you!"

When Andrea put on a straight face, she was quite capable of bluffing.

Although it is impossible for Whitebeard to be bluffed because of this...but he also understands that the other party must have something more important to say this time.

As for the content, he can probably guess some of it.

White Beard waved away the crowd, looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression, nodded and said, "Let's talk."

Andrea looked up at him, and first went through a rather long silent confrontation.After a long time, she asked: "I ambush Blackbeard to repay you for protecting me and Ace when I was not around. There is no other meaning."

Whitebeard snorted when he heard the words: "Of course I understand. You kid is too rigid in these things."

"I've said it before, it's etiquette." Andrea felt a little helpless about such an evaluation, but it's not surprising that these things are classified as rigid for free pirates, "Compared to this... ...Now it seems that many people, including everyone on the ship, mistakenly think that I am your designated heir...Is this really okay?"

White Beard looked over sharply with a pair of golden eyes: "Are you here to resign from this position?"

The helplessness on Andrea's face intensified, adding a bit of melancholy, she tilted her head slightly, and sighed.

She understood that it was just a mistake at the beginning... When she beat Tianlongren and White Beard declared to protect her in order to protect her, she was just one of the many children he protected;

And because she has repeatedly emphasized that she is not a pirate and will not become a pirate, there is subsequent speculation that she is the daughter of Whitebeard;

After that, because of her disappearance, Ace's identity became prominent again. Whitebeard, who knew Ace's true identity, acquiesced to the rumored fact of "father and daughter" in order to protect this little guy who claimed to be an adventurer;

And then... because of Blackbeard Tiki's incident, she killed Blackbeard for the sake of Whitebeard's face. To some extent, this incident gave her momentum—not only facing the world, but also The person facing the Whitebeard Pirates.

The demonstration of her strength, the improvement of her reputation, and the act of cleaning up the door this time are all declaring that she is qualified to take over.

Although……

But I really just wanted to help!In our world, this kind of help is at best an alliance!How could it be possible to send the whole family over directly! —Andrea cried out in her heart.

But this kind of thing...it's really hard to refuse.

One is because of morality, and the other is because... Andrea knew that, besides entrusting her, there were also factors for her own consideration in Whitebeard's behavior.

She is very conspicuous now, especially after Qiwuhai's position is taken back two years later, there is no way of knowing what will change.

And her children... one by one will be more noisy.Just thinking about protecting the child, no matter how strong she is alone, her deterrent effect is still limited.

If she really becomes Whitebeard's heir, the nature will change.

It's like the world government is afraid of the power of the Four Emperors and dare not mess around in the New World. The New World is basically divided up by the Four Emperors, but they didn't say anything. Instead, they set up Under the king, Qiwuhai serves as a political buffer zone.

If she takes over the power of the Four Emperors...

"Mr. Whitebeard, why did you choose me?" Andrea asked in confusion, "I thought Marco would be more suitable than me..."

"That kid is not so good." Whitebeard is a bit addicted to alcohol, looking at his flagon placed behind by Andrea, he feels that it is so boring, and the state of speaking has become a mood Que Que said, "As for choosing you... just take it as my bet that your ship can sail to a new era."

Andrea was startled, and when she wanted to say something more, she was interrupted by White Beard.

"You are my chosen heir, but I don't want you to take them away." He said, his expression seemed to have seen everything, knowing what she was going to say next, "You just go the way you want, how many of them are there?" Who can keep up with your ship and who can be selected by you to be a crew member depends entirely on themselves."

Andrea opened her mouth, swallowing everything she wanted to say.

She knew very well that this was actually a big gamble for Whitebeard.And...he gave her absolute freedom, it can be said that he gave her all his forces and troops.

Andrea didn't even have any doubts that if she really made a decision, Whitebeard would help her suppress those objectors who didn't obey the order.

Although there must be very few of these rebutters... because the bond of the Whitebeard Pirates is family affection.And who is considered to be Whitebeard's own daughter, who even does not know why she has become Whitebeard's own daughter who owes something, will naturally be accepted by the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, and even think they are in debt - because they Enjoyed the family and fatherly love given by White Beard, but her "professional daughter" did not get it.

They will inevitably graft Whitebeard's sense of indebtedness onto themselves, and feel that they owe her... Uh, suddenly feel that they are under a lot of pressure.It seems that if you recognize White Beard, you will have a group of fathers. ——Andrea suddenly lost her mind.

But when she thought about it in this direction, things became scary. She shook her head slightly, waved away the terrifying guess, and looked at Whitebeard.

"Then... what about you?"

White Beard's expression relaxed when he heard the words, and with a smile on his face, he said cruel words in a relaxed tone: "I am a remnant of the old era, so naturally I deserve to die in the old era."

"Please don't talk about your own death casually! It's too unlucky!" Andrea crossed her arms and retorted displeasedly. Then, she frowned as if she was thinking. After a while, She said, "If I agree to be the heir...my rules will be completely different from yours, and will be very strict."

White Beard looked indifferent: "You are the captain, so naturally you have the final say."

To be honest, this is why he is more optimistic about Andrea.

"This is the second point I want to make." Andrea looked up at him and said calmly, "I'm still the same as before, I won't be a pirate... So, if I take over the Whitebeard Pirates If so, of course they can continue to be pirates, but I will not be the captain."

Whitebeard didn't get angry or refute anything. He looked at the other party's made up mind and asked with great interest, "Oh? What are you going to do?"

"The one I established would not be called the Pirates, but—" Andrea closed her eyes, exhaled slowly, looked directly at the other party with her red eyes, and said word by word, "——Kingdom .”

As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence, and there was no sound for a long time.

After a while, Whitebeard's laughter that could cover the entire ship rang out.

"Wow... I don't know what Leah is talking to Dad, Dad sounds very happy."

"Daddy is happy every time Lia comes to visit."

"After all, she is my own daughter...and she hasn't been around since she was a child...Dad attaches so much importance to his family, I definitely hope that Lia can call him daddy..."

"So Leah was lost since childhood?"

"Hey? Isn't it that Leah's mother refuses to let Leah see her father?"

"Hey! You guys! Don't start gossiping about Dad! And I heard that it's because Lia's mother remarried..."

"You are the most gossip one!?"

When a group of people got off topic, Marco silently stopped the rumor that the old man was murdered.

And after this group of people were stopped, another topic started...they went to watch Perona.

"Is this what Leah brought?"

"And Leah's child too?"

"I'm not! I'm just following Lord Leah! Stay away from me!" Perona said and released her ghost to surround her, and when she saw Andrea walking over, she immediately floated over, "Master Leia— —!”

"You didn't bully Perona, did you?" Andrea raised her hand, and Perona, who was floating, took the initiative to lower her position, sent her head to her palm, and then complained: "That mustachioed uncle always asks me strange things. question!"

Andrea stared: "Lakyo..."

The captain of the 7th team, Lakyo, complained: "I didn't! I just asked if she is your child and who is her father!"

Andrea: "..." This person is not innocent, he should be beaten up later.

Marco stepped forward and asked: "Is the conversation with Dad over? His laughter sounds very happy."

"That's right." Andrea smiled slightly, "I thought my proposal would scare Dad."

Hearing this address, Marco was taken aback, and after recovering, he also laughed: "Don't underestimate Dad."
