[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【thirty-one】

The eight virtues of chivalry are humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, mercy, honesty, justice, and spirituality.

Andrea was an outstanding knight before. Even though she is a retired knight now, she still follows the spirit of chivalry.

What she said to Whitebeard was entirely based on her own feelings. At the same time, she felt the warm family atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates, which subconsciously made her more determined to protect little Ace.

Of course, she didn't know that this answer just hit Whitebeard's favor zone.

Many years ago, when his companions were looting treasures, Whitebeard sat quietly and looked into the distance, saying that what he wanted was not treasures, but his family.

Just like everything he did after becoming a pirate, he did it for his family and to protect his family.

Whitebeard also clearly realized that Andrea was referring to little Ace, and he said bluntly: "Hawkeye doesn't care?"

"Uh... Well, actually..." Andrea felt a little embarrassed for a moment - the previous pirates were all rumors and no one asked her about them without being quick-witted, so she naturally ignored them.

But now the person asking this question is a senior whom I respect.

"Ace is not Hawkeye's child." Andrea was silent for a moment and replied, "He is actually my sister's child, and his biological father's identity is very troublesome...because his biological parents are no longer alive. , and I regard them as my own children, so..."

Andrea didn't finish speaking, but Whitebeard already understood.

He took a sip of wine and did not ask about Ace's true life experience, but asked: "This wine is not bad, where did it come from?"

Andrea smiled back: "I got it from Dressrosa. The sunflower fields in that country are beautiful."

After that, neither of them said anything else and drank quietly, as if everything was silent.

Little Ace, who was sleeping on Andrea's legs, turned over and fell asleep more deeply, and even started to have snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

Andrea looked at it and felt cute at the same time, but also worried about the future of this child - it seems that he can't be a qualified gentleman, but half of the chivalry can always work hard, right?

【Thirty-two】

Andrea stayed with the Whitebeard Pirates for several days this time.

This wasn't because she was being shameless, but it was Whitebeard's invitation.

Andrea was still a little flattered, so she naturally agreed, and even went to see Whitebeard every day to spar. Although she was still a bully, she was vaguely aware that the bottleneck of her swordsmanship was beginning to show signs of loosening. .

Whitebeard didn't fight him off with absolutely overwhelming force like he did when she challenged him for the first time. Instead, it was like a feeding move.

Andrea naturally accepted this and dealt with it more seriously.

During this sparring time, she naturally couldn't take Ace with her, so she handed the cub over to Marco again - after all, it was easy to make him familiar again.

Marco didn't mind taking more care of Ace, especially since he had the devil fruit phantom beast phoenix ability. If the child really made a noise, he would take him flying around in the sky to calm him down for a while.

To be honest, Andrea was shocked at the time - after all, most of the people with fruit abilities she had seen before were of the natural type, and this was the first time she saw a type of phantom beast.

It was also because of this that she specifically asked Marco about the types of Devil Fruits, and was shocked again - there were so many of them!

But it was a shock, and Andrea adapted well - there was no shortage of people and species with special abilities in her previous world, and she was very receptive.

Of course, she is not greedy for fruit abilities, because she is still a relatively traditional type and only intends to improve in swordsmanship.

After staying with the Whitebeard Pirates for almost a week, Andrea finally decided to leave.

It's not that she was uncomfortable, but that she was a little too comfortable, and even the surrounding environment was too warm. White Beard was also very kind to her, which led her to accidentally shout out along with the others during a dinner. "Dad" and no one thought it was wrong.

Even she came back to her senses when Ace asked herself, "Mom, if you call me Whitebeard, how can I call you Whitebeard?"

no! If I continue like this, what's the difference between me and joining the Whitebeard Pirates! There is absolutely no way I can become a pirate! - Andrea was heartbroken, reflected on herself for a while, and then said goodbye to everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Before leaving, Whitebeard laughed and said: "For the sake of you calling me daddy, if you encounter any trouble in the future, please tell me my name!"

Andrea felt that she couldn't take advantage of this, but if she refused, it would be even more inappropriate to sever the relationship, so after struggling for a while, she bowed her head and said thank you seriously.

Whitebeard didn't care about this: "You kid just have too many rules when it comes to talking."

And Andrea was quite serious: "This is etiquette."

【Thirty-three】

Although she agreed and was sincerely grateful to Whitebeard and respected him as an elder she needed to respect, Andrea decided not to trouble him even if she encountered trouble. After all, she did not join the Whitebeard Pirates. You can't take advantage of others in vain.

Of course, she didn't know what role this experience and new bond would play in the future.

Now she just embarked on a new journey with Ace, who was a little tired after getting familiar with the Whitebeard Pirates and then leaving.

Andrea also curiously asked: "Ace, do you like the Whitebeard Pirates very much? Who are you thinking of? Marco? Or Thatch?"

After all, one is a temporary nanny and the other is a cook.

"No!" After being asked, little Ace immediately got down from the edge of the boat, ran to Andrea and stood next to her, "Mom Leah, where should we go next? Back to Mihawk Over there?"

"No, we won't go to Mihawk for the time being, but we do have to go back to the East China Sea..." Andrea opened the map and looked at it.

There is a reason for returning to the East China Sea. The new world is indeed more dangerous. Andrea feels that her strength needs to be improved before she can run around with her children.

For Ace's safety, she had better not go too far into the new world... because she found that Ace was not afraid because he was familiar with the dangers and even enjoyed it as if it were a joke. This was absolutely not okay!

Moreover, the child is already three and a half years old, and his education has to catch up. At this time, returning to the East China Sea, finding a livable place to live for two years, teaching children, and then digesting what I learned from Whitebeard is the best choice.

She remembered hearing Garp say before that he originally wanted to take Ace and throw him to the bandits... Those bandits were in the Kingdom of Goa, right?

Let’s go there first and have a look!

After setting her goal, Andrea began to adjust her course. Then, she suddenly realized a problem.

"Ace, why do you think we need to go back to Mihawk?" Are you missing your baboon friends?

"Huh?" Ace looked over in confusion, "Isn't Mihawk my father?"

Andrea: "..."

Oops, things are a little big.

Sorry, dear friend. ——Andrea apologized with a heavy heart.

It seemed that she had to quickly find a suitable opportunity to tell Ace his true life experience.
