[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【eleven】

Andrea is generally very talkative.

But when it came to Whitebeard, she was different.

After all, he was an elder or the father she recognized. In the original world, this publicly recognized kinship relationship came with corresponding responsibilities.

"You look young, don't you? How many years have you been at sea?" Andrea looked at the other party's stubborn eyes that refused to admit defeat. She smiled instead of angry, and her tone was quite calm, "Nice eyes, no wonder Jin Ping You are said to be as dangerous as a sharp knife...but a sharp blade without a scabbard will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself. If everything went smoothly before, let me teach you this truth this time."

Even Andrea, who has not experienced the Moby Dick incident and has not obtained new buffs, still has a chance of winning when she faces the current Portcas D. Ace.

Her fifteen years in the Whitebeard Pirates were not just for fun, especially since she often went out alone. The powerful people she met in the new world were not on the same level as other places, and among them, those with Devil Fruit abilities were even more powerful. Otherwise, she would not have set her scabbard with Shanghai Tower stone.

What's more, now she is back with a new buff. Although she has skipped seven years, her strength has been directly upgraded to a higher level. To deal with Devil Fruit users, especially those with natural abilities, she has already brought them. Restrained.

Of course, even if you win the fight, it doesn't mean that the suppressed person will really be convinced.

Andrea would not really kill him. After all, there are so many people who challenge Whitebeard every year, and some of them directly become part of the Whitebeard Pirates. She was like walking a man, letting him go, and then absolutely suppressing him again when the opponent attacked next time.

After two or three times, Ace realized what he was doing, and his dissatisfaction was written directly on his face: "Are you fooling me?"

"With your current level, you want to challenge my father..."

"Who said you want to take my head?" A loud voice dispersed the clouds, and then the huge Moby Dick approached. The man standing on the bow of the ship held Cong Yunqie and looked down, the voice accompanied He laughed loudly, "Isn't this my daughter who still can't beat me? You dare to talk nonsense like this, you are really an impatient young man! I will help you and be your opponent!"

While Andrea was saying hello to the large group of brothers she hadn't seen for many years and focusing on dealing with a few people who started to burst into tears, Whitebeard personally took action to fight against this arrogant young man.

Andrea was actually a little confused as to why Whitebeard wanted to do it himself, but she would not disobey the other party's wishes at this time, and she looked helpless when Whitebeard said, "Be my son." Color——As expected...

What also made her feel sure was Portcas D. Ace's fierce attitude.

His attitude didn't matter though, as he passed out and was taken aboard, along with the rest of his crew.

While he was in a coma, Andrea was surrounded by everyone, asking her what she had experienced in the past seven years.

After all, she couldn't say "I went back to my own world, and then came back blessed by the origin of the world." So she fabricated it according to the logic that everyone can understand and in line with the setting of this world - said She went back to her hometown and came out with some new skills.

Then, Andrea showed everyone what walking on the sea is. A group of people applauded and immediately justified the seven-year gap - this must be the awakening of racial talents caused by blood!

After showing off her new abilities, Andrea ran to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard quietly hid the empty wine bottle behind his back, coughed, and looked at Andrea as if nothing happened.

"Father - my eyesight is not that bad."

"Stop being so verbose! Don't worry about your father!"

Andrea sighed, but did not hold on to this point. She just walked over and sat on the steps next to the other party's seat and started chatting.

The two of them talked about ordinary things, even when they talked about things that had happened in the past seven years, they seemed very casual.

Andrea didn't ask how everyone found her in the past seven years, and Whitebeard didn't ask what this daughter had experienced in the past seven years or how she obtained such special abilities.

This is a tacit understanding that only belongs to father and daughter. For them, it is enough as long as they are back.

Andrea also leaned closer and leaned her head on the arm of the white-bearded man sitting there casually.

For a moment, the only sound around was the sea breeze.

After a few minutes……

"Father, did you drink too much today? Just because I closed my eyes doesn't mean I fell asleep."

"Tsk!"

【Thirteen】

Andrea's return this time made it quite lively.

Although she didn't ask Whitebeard, she would still ask others about what happened in the past seven years.

"So... what happened to father's hair!" Andrea looked worried, as if something big had happened.

After all, when she left, she still had a white beard and long wavy blond hair. When she looked back, her hair was gone and she was wearing a black headscarf. It was indeed a big deal for her.

Marco was stunned for a moment by the question, and laughed loudly after realizing it: "Don't worry, nothing special happened!"

But Andrea was most concerned about Whitebeard's physical condition, and he still explained it carefully to her.

After all... Not to mention Andrea's constant concern, Andrea was the only one on this ship who could persuade Whitebeard to follow the doctor's orders.

While the two were talking here, Sachi, the ship's cook and captain of the fourth division, also came over.

"Leah! You're back. Do you still have the same food as before?"

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Sage. Where is the boy who played with fire that dad brought back? Is he awake?"

"That kid..." Saatchi laughed when talking about this, "He just asked me if it doesn't matter if I don't cuff him and leave him on the boat."

At this moment, not only him, but Marco and Andrea also started laughing. Suddenly, the air was filled with joy.

"Lea, you have fought against him, right? How was it?"

"Just an arrogant brat."

"Looking at his temper, I'm afraid he won't give up the challenge to dad, right?"

The three people's predictions were indeed correct, and the hot-tempered newcomer immediately started his assassination plan. In the middle of the night, he raised a knife to kill Whitebeard in his sleep, but was knocked away by the opponent's palm.

When Andrea woke up the next morning, she still listened to the patrollers complaining about the newcomer making too much noise in the middle of the night.

Andrea was eating plum jelly with a serious look on her face: "It's too much to make a fuss in the middle of the night. Isn't it disturbing my father's rest?"

The people who gathered around to have breakfast laughed.

"Dad doesn't care at all, does he?"

"It's impossible for him to succeed in the challenge."

"He didn't even defeat Leah - ah, he won't challenge Leah later, right?"

"Huh? Could it be that he will go to Leah's place in the middle of the night?"

A group of people suddenly realized something. Suddenly, their expressions became solemn and they each showed their weapons.

"If that's really the case... then the kid won't be able to stay."

"Yes, if you dare to do that, you must teach that brat what etiquette is on the Moby Dick."

Andrea put down her spoon and was dumbfounded at the strength of this group of people: "When did you understand etiquette? And, what are the etiquette on the Moby Dick?"

Andrea was chatting noisily with everyone, when suddenly there was another commotion outside.

A group of people were actually not surprised by this.

"Ah, it's that kid again, right?"

"Listen to this sound, did you fall into the water?"

"That boy is really perseverant..."

"Yeah, it's only been so long, it's already been ten times, right?"

"I think my father is really patient."

Andrea put down the plate and spoon, thanked Sage, then went out, jumped off the boat and stepped on the sea, reached out to grab the hand that was about to submerge in the sea, pulled the person out of the sea, and looked at the other person while coughing He choked out the sea water while frowning and raising his eyes to look over with a look that did not admit defeat.

Seeing this, Andrea couldn't help but laugh, and said in a teasing tone: "It's really embarrassing, little brother. And..."

She raised her sword with her free hand, and hit the other person on the head with the scabbard as she did when they first met: "Give me a polite look."

【fourteen】

Andrea can indeed call people brother.

Her actual age is ten years older than the other person, and if you include the seven years of disappearance, she is actually seventeen years older than the other person.

Whitebeard once again showed an attitude of accepting people as his sons, so naturally he was also her brother in terms of ranking.

Although she felt that Whitebeard came out to protect this kid for a hidden reason... But before she went to ask, she had other things to do - the news of her reappearance had spread, and her old friend came to see her. .

When she talked to everyone and then happily went to fight with Hawkeye, on the Moby-Dick, Portcas D. Ace, who had failed to challenge Whitebeard a hundred times, was nestled on the side of the ship. , sitting there with his head buried, motionless.

Marco went over and put a bowl of hot soup next to him, and with the other person's words "Why do you call that guy daddy?", he started the first heart-to-heart conversation in so many days.

Ace, who was deeply touched and buried his face between his knees, asked again dully: "Is that woman the same?"

"Huh? Are you talking about Leah? You can't call her that. It's too rude."

"...Do pirates still pay attention to their manners?"

"Hahahaha, pirates are not particular, but Leah is not a pirate." Marco laughed, "Actually, you can tell, right? She is incompatible with pirates. She was originally a noble, but because of some Things never go back to home, they become our family.”

Marco's tone became a little nostalgic when he talked about this.

"Have you been defeated by her before? Don't feel ashamed. Leah is very strong. No one on our ship except Dad can beat her one-on-one. She actually has many better places to go, but because she is worried about her Dad and us chose to stay. Obviously we are just a group of unlovable and abandoned people, but she sincerely treats us like brothers."

"Don't look at her as a fuss-free person. In fact, she only requires her etiquette to be in place. We simply like her, so we sometimes learn from her. Although most of them are nondescript, she seems to have more headaches. Hahahahaha."

After Marco finished speaking, he looked at Ace who was motionless and said with a smile: "It's been so many days and you have failed so many challenges. It's time to make a decision, right? You can't get dad's head. Ah, don’t talk about taking dad’s head again, Leah will be angry because of politeness issues... Should you leave and start over, or should you stay here and bear the symbol of [Whitebeard]?"

【fifteen】

After Andrea finished fighting with her friend, she was surprised to learn that her friend was now a Shichibukai.

Hawkeye also explained this: "Because you are gone and there are no other opponents, it is quite boring. Maybe you can encounter some interesting things as a Shichibukai."

Andrea: "..." Why do I still have such an illusion of being sorry when I obviously didn't do anything wrong?

Andrea refused to think that the other party's choice had anything to do with her. After saying goodbye to her little friend, she went to inquire about the news about Fire Fist Ace.

In fact, there is not much news - because this young newcomer has actually only been at sea for a year.

In one year, he was able to form his own pirate group and become a supernova, and he also gained some fame in the new world. It can be said that his strength and potential are very impressive.

However... what concerned Andrea more was the news that Fire Fist Ace refused to serve as the Shichibukai.

Not being a Shichibukai was nothing. Many pirates had their own ideas, and Andrea felt that judging from the look in his eyes and his temper, he wouldn't agree.

But...why the World Government would want to recruit a new person to be a Shichibukai who has only been at sea for more than a year needs to be thought about.

When Andrea returned to the Moby-Dick, she learned that the newbie had officially become a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

She wasn't surprised, given Whitebeard's charisma. It's normal for Whitebeard's tolerance to conquer a little guy like this. She also smiled and stepped forward to rub the other person's head and recognize her brother directly.

Although judging from the expression of this new brother, it seems that he is not very happy to accept the title of younger brother.

But Andrea doesn't care about this either. The only thing she cares about is...

"Father, is there anything special about Ace?" Andrea asked with a confused look on her face.
