[Master Pirate] I just want to live a peaceful life

The noise of the crowd, the sizzling sound of food on the iron plate, the children running around with toys, and the four or four groups of men in the bar hanging shoulder to shoulder and drinking. Compared with all this lively, my location can It can be said to be deserted.

The discerning people in the place where the Vice Admiral and the Four Emperors were sitting walked away, and I sat among them with many curious eyes.Although it is speculated that Shanks made such a move because he has a good relationship with Gavin, but I didn't expect them to be friends when they were young.

Gavin, who explained kindly, had a light smile in his emerald green eyes, and he said: "At that time, Shanks was an intern crew member on the ship of One Piece Roger, and I was also taken by Admiral Garp as an intern on the ship. Nie Yuan."

Speaking of the past, Shanks showed nostalgia and said: "At that time, Gavin still seriously persuaded Bucky and me, oh, a guy with a red nose should not fight, but he stopped us by himself."

Gavin coughed tactically and defended himself, "That's a just punishment."

"Look at him, he was like this when he was a child!" Shanks pointed to Gavin and I complained: "It is unreasonable for pirates to fight, and the navy's punishment for beating people is justice. It's too cunning. Just like this, one of our ships was killed." The little girl is gone!"

"Shanks!"

Hearing this, I ignored Gavin who warned Shanks with his eyes, and asked Shanks enthusiastically: "Then what? Then?"

Gavin never told me anything about the family. He is almost forty, and he is away from home every day to take care of his children and his wife. Why are you chasing me!

Let me seize the opportunity this time, and I will take this matter to him in the future!

"I'm telling you..."

"Enough, stop talking, Shanks!"

Gavin interrupted Shanks with a gloomy face, and my excitement subsided. Thinking of our relationship, it is only natural for him to be angry. Who wants to tell the enemy about his family affairs.

After all, what does it matter to me that there is a friendship between them, why should I stay here?

"Ah, it's alright. He and I are enemies after all. Let you two old friends discuss this kind of intimate matter. I'll go first." I swear, I didn't have the slightest childish anger when I said this I just told the truth calmly, but Gavin suddenly grabbed my wrist.

"It's not like that!" he said in a panic.

"Eh?"

Not like that?I don't understand where Gavin is flustered, whether it's the overly intimate behavior before, or the panic now, why does Gavin care about me so much?This has already exceeded the distance that should exist between us, and it cannot go on like this. Being friends between a navy and a pirate is more ridiculous than being friends between a wolf and a sheep.

In the past, I didn't ask him out, but today, with the strength of wine, I asked him inexplicably: "Why do you care about me so much? We don't seem to have any communication before, right?"

Before I met Uriah, I had never met Gavin at all. From the moment I became conscious in this world, I saw Perospero and Big Mom when I opened my eyes. I also clearly remember if I grew up after that. Gavin exists, so why on earth would he do this?

Gavin was silent. This simple question seemed to be a huge problem for him. The emerald green eyes were trembling due to the mood swings of the owner. He had always been a mature and stable vice admiral. Vulnerability and insecurity came out in front of me, and I noticed that he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Seeing him like this, my heart seemed to be poked by someone with a needle. The slight tingling seemed to announce to me that this person was different to me, but it was different there, and I couldn't tell.

For a while we maintained this posture, deadlocked.

"Let me explain!"

The person who broke the atmosphere between us was Shanks. He patted Gavin on the shoulder amid Gavin's more encouraging objections, and said with a straight face: "This guy, in fact, has been looking at you for a long time. became her own daughter."

"..."

"what?"

Gavin and I made dumbfounded sounds at the same time.

Wait for daughter? ? ?I? ? ?

"That's right!" Regardless of Gavin and I's confusion, Shanks continued: "This guy's daughter ran away from home, and I can't find it, and you are very similar to his daughter who ran away from home. He I subconsciously regard you as my own daughter!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded seriously.

Hey, that's how it is... ass!

what is this? !Gavin's face was completely dark, hey!

Apparently Shanks believes only himself in this statement.

"Although he was talking nonsense." Gavin sighed helplessly, let go of my wrist, raised his eyes to look at me, the eyes like clear springs reflected my shadow, and said softly: "But I do have a daughter like this. One point, it's true."

"So... I'm a stand-in?"

If someone else dared to look for someone else's shadow in me, I would definitely beat him up and call him mother immediately, but not for Gavin.

Not only am I not angry, but I may also have some expectations.

"Even if it's a stand-in, it's not bad."

Facing Gavin's astonished gaze, I happily said, "Because I am very happy to be Gavin's daughter!"

A person's nature is easily reflected in the battle. This is the reason why Gavin and Shanks can still become friends in the face of confrontation. It is because of the contact between life and death that they can understand each other's personality better, and thus generate resonance and appreciation. , to become friends across identities and positions.

Therefore, in the two years of contact with Gavin, I also know that he is a man with integrity and gentleness in his blood. If I can really become his child, I will definitely have a very happy life.

Gavin came back to his senses from my words, his emerald green eyes made waves, and the bigger and bigger waves overflowed his eye sockets.

"Gavin?!"

Realizing what it was, I panicked.

why is he crying !Did I make him cry? ?Eh? !

Shanks laughed loudly and patted Gavin on the back, without caring about the atmosphere, he said, "Cry, Gavin! I won't laugh at you even when I'm old! Do you want me to lend you my shoulder?"

This is better than laughing, it's already a laugh!

"No need." Gavin took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, looked at me with still wet eyes and said, "I made you laugh, it's my personal problems. Speaking of which, Do you want to go shopping elsewhere next time?"

The series of operations such as the momentary adjustment of emotions and the natural invitation to change the topic are worthy of being a vice admiral.

"Okay."

Knowing that Gavin wanted to turn this embarrassing page, I went down his steps, and Shanks also clamored to go shopping with us, so the strange trio just like this in the lively Pudong. Hang out on the island.

After the alcohol was completely over, I thought about it. I was so obsessed with Gavin's answer, probably because I was afraid of this unreasonable tenderness.

What happened to Rachel is still a scar in my heart. When I face someone who treats me well for no reason, I will subconsciously wonder if he will stab me too. I don’t blame Rachel, I understand his difficulties , Forgive him for his helplessness, but this does not mean that I want to experience the double pain of body and spirit again.

Glancing at Gavin, who was chatting and laughing with Shanks, he noticed my eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. I retracted my gaze and took this warning to heart.

"I will never make such a mistake again. 』

When I was shopping until noon, I was going to find a hotel to check in, but Shanks grabbed my arm and refused to let me go.

"There's an interesting game ahead!"

"I'm going to leave now, I'm not like you guys, I don't have a companion to help me find a place to live!"

There were a lot of people in front of us, but with my height of 1.5 meters, it was a little bit reluctant to see what the crowd was doing. I could only judge from the sound leaking from inside that it was indeed a very intense competition.

"It's really interesting." Gavin, who was only a little shorter than Shanks, also saw the scene inside, and suggested to me: "Why don't you take a look first? If you're not interested, how about we leave immediately?"

"... Tch, it's done, I'm not interested and I'll leave right away."

Anyway, what kind of competition can make me tempted? The food island competition is nothing more than a drinking and eating competition, and the prizes must be some kind of food roll.

I was escorted by two people whose identity and height could not be ignored, and I quickly came to the front. Surrounded by the crowd were a few contestants who were sitting at the table and eating the food in front of them, with painful faces.

Look, it really is the Big Eater Competition.

I cast a look at Gavin. He bent down, held my shoulder, and pointed to the sign standing next to him. I read it in disgust. When my eyes fell on the column of prizes, I didn't move.

"The competition has reached its climax!! Contestants, please work hard! The prize is an oversized doll bear made of clouds from the legendary empty island! The super soft touch makes you feel like you are in the clouds!"

The doll bear was covered by glass, with a lovely curve on the corner of its mouth, and round black eyes staring at the crowd, as if it was waiting for someone to take it away.

"Not bad!" Shanks also bent down and leaned over.

I scoffed: "That's it? It's just a doll bear!"

Then, I entered the competition.

"Welcome player Yuki to join, then the content of the competition is very simple, just eat up the food in front of you, there is no time limit, as long as you eat up!!"

"If you win, you can really get that teddy bear, right?"

"Of course!"

"It's really super soft, like lying on a cloud." I picked up the knife next to the dinner plate and shook it in front of the host, the sharp blade gleaming in the sun: "If you dare to lie to me , I’ll let your head find Yun Duo.”

The host, who hadn't broken a sweat until now, had a fierce commentary, but at this moment, cold sweat was streaming down his face. He smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, of course, we are very trustworthy!"

I snorted, pointed the knife at the steak that was bigger than me on the plate, and slid it a few times with lightning speed, the steak was stunned by the audience, other contestants and the host , completely split into pieces along the line I cut down.

I rolled up my sleeves, it was inevitable.

"Play! Idiot! Bear——!"

"That's how you look like a child."

Shanks, who was watching in the crowd, witnessed the girl's series of behaviors, and expressed the emotion of the elders. Gavin's eyes were focused on the girl, and the faint smile on his lips remained undiminished.

"If possible, I hope she can always be like this."

"In that case, why didn't you tell her the truth?"

The arc of Gavin's mouth dropped, Shanks stopped joking and looked serious.

"You clearly know that if you continue to stay at Charlotte's house, she will not be happy."

"I know, I know all this, but I can't do it, Shanks."

Solar Gavin, who has experienced many battles, is like a new recruit in this matter, nervous and timid, afraid that one wrong step will cause an irreversible outcome.

"The more I know the truth, the less I know how to tell the truth to that child." Gavin's gaze met the girl in the arena. She blinked slyly and made a grimace. Raising the corners of his mouth, the closer he gets to her and the more he understands her, the more his feelings for her grow at an alarming rate, and it has reached an uncontrollable situation. He will even have his life as long as she wants The willingness to give up.

Therefore, he cared more about her than hatred, caring for many years, and his own thoughts.

"In front of important people, people will become timid. I am not compromising with reality, but I am afraid that these will hurt her."

He murmured, as if speaking to Shanks, but also as if speaking to himself in his heart.

"Wait, wait, when she grows up a bit, when she is strong enough to face everything, it's not too late for me to tell her, just keep the status quo now."

"..."

"If you want to laugh at me, you can." The friend's silence didn't make Gavin sad, he knew what he was doing, no matter what others said, he decided to silently protect his daughter in this way.

"I will not laugh at you, as a friend, I will never laugh at you."

Shanks reached out and patted his back, and pushed him a step forward. For a moment, it seemed that he had returned to many years ago. The boy Shanks did the same thing as now, when he decided to have a relationship with his wife When Rosalie confessed, he pushed him from behind, and he came to his wife.

This time-

The whistle sounded for the end of the game. Amidst the cheers of the crowd and the excited tone of the host, the hiccupping girl rubbed her stomach and buried her face in her prize, the oversized teddy bear, and heard the sound of footsteps , the girl poked her head out from behind the teddy bear.

He came to his daughter.

"Congratulations, Ningning."

"Congratulations, Ningning."

Gavin in front of me was a bit strange, but I couldn't tell what was so strange. I glanced at Shanks who was smiling and waving behind him. I saw the two of them talking during the game, and Gavin showed a very lonely expression, so I thought Make him laugh, isn't the effect a little too good now?

At this time, the bell on the island rang, and I noticed that the sky had darkened, and the crowd gradually dispersed and went back to the hotel to rest, preparing for the carnival at night, and I stood there holding the teddy bear.

The hotel must be full by now, and I might be sleeping on the street tonight. Thinking of this thought, the stuffed bear that is as soft as a cloud in my hand becomes unsavory.

"Oh, it's already this time, if you don't go back and rest, you won't be able to participate in the evening celebration!"

"Yes."

Hearing the conversation between the two people next to my ears, I gritted my teeth and buried my face in the teddy bear.

Why don't you just occupy their room!

After I had thought up countless plans to grab the room, Gavin's voice came towards me.

"Let's go back."

I moved the doll bear away, and what appeared in front of me was a pair of hands with thick calluses that had been practicing swords all the year round. The brilliance of the setting sun shone on Gavin's body, making him look shiny, and he also depicted the shadow of him bending over on his knees. on the ground.

"It's not a child." I muttered.

Gavin let out a low laugh, stretched out his hand to ruffle my hair, and said, "But you're just a child."

"whispering sound."

I still put my hand in his palm.

The setting sun elongated the shadow, and I took a peek back. In the elongated shadow, Gavin and I were holding hands, looking like a real family.

-------------------

The author has something to say:

Everyone is ready to be knifed, which makes me a little overwhelmed (because of super bad taste), I like to be knifed when everyone is immersed in candy hahahahahaha

But these chapters are the last candy, because I like Gavin's father very much, and I must write that father treats his children more.

Rare time for father and daughter to get along w

By the way, my mother was a child rescued by Captain Roger from a human/trafficker.
