[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【nine】

Andrea didn't expect that there would be someone with the same brain circuit as her own.

Lu Jiu was shocked, and because the other party also used a sword like her sister, she couldn't help but start to get distracted - is this a common trait among swordsmen?

Regardless of whether it is a commonality or not, there is only one island anyway, and the two people holding swords are masters who will not give in.

Finally, after a fight, the two reached a consensus, cleaned up the island together, and became the owners of the island together - everyone agreed to half of it.

After Lujiu finished cooking dinner, she hugged Ace and came out to call her sister that it was time for dinner, and asked her to invite her new partner to join her.

Andrea's new partner is named Joracol Mihawk, who is also a master of swordsmanship and is nicknamed "Eagle Eyes" because of his sharp eyes like an eagle.

Hawkeye's brain circuit is really the same as Andrea's. He wanted to find a quiet place to settle down, and then thought that Kraigana Island was the most suitable.

As for Andrea and her family coming over... After having a good fight with Andrea, he didn't mind.

Essentially speaking, although Hawkeye has his own way of doing things, he is actually very Buddhist at ordinary times.

There is nothing wrong with living with the Devonshire family. After all, Andrea is a rare opponent. It took him so long to find such a pure swordsman who is equally matched in swordsmanship. His other friend, Shanks, was forgotten by him at this time - after all, although he also used a sword, his character was not pure enough, and he was not as happy as Andrea, who was more to his liking.

Andrea didn't think there was anything wrong with having an extra neighbor. She usually wanted to find someone to practice her sword with, but now she didn't have to travel far.

Then, Lujiu watched as her adopted sister, besides playing with Ace and reading books every day, she practiced swordplay with Hawkeye and then beat up baboons.

Ace didn't learn to practice swordsmanship from two world-class swordsmen, but he learned to beat baboons.

Occasionally, when they need to purchase items, they will go out together.

Even though the two of them were actually not that keen on going out, they decided to discuss it privately one day and began to reclaim wasteland and grow vegetables. Of course, the two of them couldn't do it all by themselves, so the subdued baboon was also captured and used again.

Of course Lujiu will also help.

She can't fight, but she has strong living skills after living alone for so many years. She is basically responsible for cooking and even making clothes at home. It's like Ace's clothes and Andrea's clothes - Ace's clothes are changed because children grow up quickly, while Andrea's personality is too short when it comes to clothes, and it's quite useless to ask for a lot. Of course, as a sister, Lu Jiu always smiled and satisfied her.

Of course, it is impossible to let Lujiu do everything.

At least things like cooking take turns. Basically, it’s Luju, Andrea, and Hawkeye.

Yes, Hawkeye ate with everyone. Although the work and rest times are different, the lunch and dinner points are the same, so the two meals are eaten together as a family.

As for breakfast, Hawkeye and Andrea have similar schedules and similar tastes, so they still eat together. Ace and Lujiu eat together.

And Andrea has the habit of afternoon tea. When tea time comes, she and Lujiu will take time to drink tea, eat snacks and chat.

After living in this delicate family of four and a group of baboons for a while, Lu Jiu looked at the people sitting in their own seats in the hall, less than one meter apart, and their movements were quite consistent, looking down at the newspaper. The two of them were a little silent - I always felt that something was not quite right...

After Lu Jiu came up with this idea, she also asked Andrea privately, because she thought of Andrea's previous criteria for choosing a mate: "Lea, you said before that the person you like must be the strongest swordsman, then Mihawk..."

Andrea was still playing with little Ace and didn't pay much attention. When she heard the key words, she immediately looked over with sharp eyes: "What is the number one? Lujiu, I am the number one in swordsmanship. !”

Ace, who was less than three years old, giggled for a while, then opened his arms and waved twice, loudly saying: "Auntie is number one!"

"That's right! Our baby Ace is so smart!" Andrea held her little nephew in her arms with satisfaction and kissed him on the cheek.

Little Ace followed suit and returned the kiss. Both of them smiled with satisfaction.

Lu Jiu: "..." Well, this kid doesn't have the nerve at all, forget it.

【ten】

Although Lu Jiu was a little worried about her sister and hoped that she would have her own life and not be tied down by her and Ace... But she also understood that she and Ace were part of each other's lives, and she would not force her to Push people away.

And... to be honest, she thought Andrea was quite happy practicing sword farming and farming with her friends every day.

I just don’t know if it’s her imagination, but both Andrea and Hawkeye seem to be getting more and more nerdy.

Of course, the two of them will still go out occasionally.

For example, Hawkeye will occasionally feel bored and go out to chase and kill a pirate group. Andrea, on the other hand, will occasionally visit various famous places when she goes out, especially those related to wine. In addition to being able to drink it herself, she also wants to collect some as gifts and give them to Whitebeard in the future - this is a matter of etiquette.

Of course, going to see Whitebeard would mean a long trip, so Andrea simply planned her itinerary and planned to go see Lieutenant General Garp, the friend Roger asked before he died.

After all, she needed to know what happened to the information held by the Navy and whether Lujiu and Ace were still in danger.

But this time when they went out, Lu Jiu would not accompany them. However, Lujiu handed Ace over with an attitude of "bring this with you": "Since we are going to Mr. Whitebeard's place, let's take Ace over and thank them."

Andrea thought it would be good for the children to go out for more walks, and thinking that Lujiu would be more relaxed, she naturally did not refuse.

As for Lujiu's safety, she wasn't worried. Although Hawkeye is not here, the island is safe, and the group of tamed baboons will also protect Lujiu - because Lujiu feeds them.

Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Andrea and Ace and naturally welcomed them. The little baby that crawled all over the boat is now a sturdy little guy who can run and jump.

Just ...

"Mr. Whitebeard, why does your beard go up? Mihawk's beard doesn't look like this." Little Ace, who was only five years old, put his hands on Whitebeard's shoulders while reaching out to stroke the other man's iconic hair. He asked curiously, raising his crescent-shaped beard.

Andrea, who was distributing gifts there but didn't pay attention, gasped when she saw this scene: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Ace!"

After finally grabbing little Ace and holding him in her arms, Andrea took him to thank everyone who had helped him and taken care of him one by one.

At this point, little Ace obeyed obediently.

however……

"Auntie, you said I was born on this ship?" Little Ace looked confused, "How was a child born?"

"..." Andrea looked at the calm sea and said in a very calm tone, "It's a bird that delivers its eggs, it's a bird that delivers its eggs."

Little Ace suddenly said: "Is it Marco's kind?"

Speaking of this, Andrea's tone became much smoother. After all, she was telling the truth: "Yes, it was Marco who helped."

Little Ace was thoughtful for a while, and when Andrea brought the wine to Whitebeard and the two of them were drinking and chatting like they were old friends, he ran to find Marco and asked quite seriously: "Marco, Can you give my aunt a child?"

Marco: “…???”

【eleven】

Andrea didn't know what shocking words her little nephew said to others, but she just felt that when she was saying goodbye, Marco looked at her in a weird way.

But she didn't think about it too much and went home first.

Originally, she planned to take Ace to see Garp... But when she went to the navy station and learned that Garp was not there but in her hometown, the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea, she planned to go there first Go home.

After all, it’s not going smoothly, so it’s a good idea to take back the gifts stuffed by the Whitebeard Pirates first.

Then something unexpected happened at the first dinner after returning.

Ace looked at Hawkeye, then at Andrea, and after stuffing the meat in his mouth, he asked: "Mihawk, can you and Aunt Leah have a child together?"

Andrea: “Pfft——!”

Hawkeye: "Ahem——!"

Lu Jiu was shocked. After she came to her senses, she immediately handed the tissue to the two world-class swordsmen who were defeated by a five-year-old child. She looked at her big boy with an incredulous look on her face: "Ace, why are you suddenly so angry?" Such thoughts?"

"Because I asked Marco for it, but Marco said that he couldn't give it away casually, and needed his aunt to find the right person." Ace's logic was quite clear, "Auntie doesn't always play with Mihawk. Of?"

Andrea understood - this was because the unlucky nephew felt a little bored being alone without children to play with. He didn't ask Lujiu for it because he probably thought that he could only ask for one, and then he came up with the idea of ​​​​her aunt. ...But that’s not how it’s calculated, right? ! No wonder Marco looked at her so strangely at that time!

...Although she was the one who talked about the bird-delivery thing.

Lujiu's head was full of questions. After asking clearly, she was also a little bit dumbfounded - how should I put this... Lia had shot herself in the foot, right?

When Lujiu patiently explained the problem of the delivery bird, Andrea was silent for a long time, not daring to look directly at her little friend. She lowered her head and silently took a sip of red wine: "I'm sorry."

Hawkeye tried hard to steady himself: "...it's okay."

【twelve】

Andrea felt that her little nephew was too idle.

With this idea in mind, and also to hide from the eyes of the eagle, and at least let this embarrassing time pass as if nothing happened, Andrea went to the Kingdom of Goa.

She also left a message to Lu Jiu - [I will go out and find some unwanted children! Lujiu, wait for me! 】

Lu Jiu looked at the letter and felt a little silent. Looking at Ace who looked expectant, she felt a little headache - although she trusted her sister very much, she also trusted her sister's natural qualities... What is this standard that no one wants? ah! The child who could catch her sister's eye must not be an ordinary child... Could it really be that no one wants it?

Lujiu's worries came true when Andrea came back with a blond boy who was about the same age as Ace and who looked like he was from a noble family. She felt that her worries had come true.

This little blond boy's name is Sabo, one year younger than Ace, and he is a noble of the Kingdom of Goa. After running away from home, he wandered around the outskirts of the Kingdom of Goa, and was picked up and taken away by Andrea.

Ace was very happy, and he hit it off with Sabo and started playing around immediately.

Lu Jiu could only take her sister and scold her, and said that if she really wants to raise this child, she must tell his parents.

Andrea obediently agreed, and on her next trip out, she brought back a pink-haired girl.

She also had a perfect explanation for this: "This child was an orphan. I saw that she was about to be taken away by strange traffickers, so I rescued her and brought her back. I asked, and she didn't run away from home. "

This time Lu Jiu didn't say anything about her. She sighed deeply, looked at the girl hiding behind Andrea, and asked gently: "What's your name?"

The pink-haired girl looked at her curiously with her big eyes open, and answered obediently: "Perona."

Sabo, the runaway, was already living there, so it goes without saying that Perona had nowhere to go.

Moreover, Perona is only a child two years older than Ace, but she is already a devil fruit user. She liked the style of this place very much and walked around every day.

She didn't like playing with Sabo and Ace, she preferred to stick to Luju and Andrea. Because she was the only girl, the sisters treated her favorably and even made a doll for her as requested.

Although Andrea didn't recognize what kind of creature that doll was, the child could just like it.

So, when Hawkeye returned home from a long trip... what he saw was a somewhat overly lively scene at home.

"I told you we were going to play hide-and-seek! This isn't hide-and-seek at all!"

"It's Perona, you ask for too much!"

"I'm going to tell Aunt Lujiu and Aunt Lia!"

"Ah - you are a complainer!"

"Hahaha! Perona is a complainer!"

"You are so annoying!"

Eagle Eye: "..." Wait, since when did there be so many people at home?
