[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【One】

Hawkeye was hesitant to speak about the increase in the number of people in his family, and finally said nothing.

No way, this family does have half of Andrea.

Lujiu just felt that she couldn't snatch other people's children, and she didn't have much objection to her sister's behavior of picking up children.

She even felt that this was because Andrea admired Whitebeard so much that she unconsciously learned from him. Of course, it is also important to find a playmate for Ace.

And because neither her sister nor her friends raised any objections, Andrea's behavior... will gradually be carried forward in the future.

The reason was that Andrea was approached by the Warring States General and talked about the fruits of the operation.

Andrea accepted the commission. Because she feels that now that the family has more children, they will be short of money in the future.

Sabo was very happy here, and Andrea also listened to Lujiu and wrote a letter to Sabo's parents explaining the situation, even if the mission was completed.

Anyway, looking at Sabo like this, he would definitely cry if he were asked to go home. It would be better to say that he had already begun to feel sad when he learned that he was going back, making both Andrea and Lujiu wonder if Sabo's parents had done something.

On this mission to find the fruits of the operation, Andrea did not take any of her children with her and left them to Lujiu to take care of. But Hawkeye went with her - of course, Hawkeye went out to have fun not for the fruits of the operation, but simply because he was bored.

Andrea came to Beihai just like that, because she was on a government mission, and she was followed by a navy warship - because of her style and always protecting the people and fighting against troubled pirates, her reputation is actually pretty good. Otherwise, Sengoku would not have entrusted this task to her.

Then, probably because her outfit looked a bit like a navy uniform and she was walking behind the navy, Andrea was stopped by a little boy wearing a stuffed hat, who handed her a roll that looked like A small paper tube containing Navy secrets, and then asked her for help.

Asking her to save someone important to him who was dying.

Andrea's words that she originally wanted to declare her identity were blocked in her mouth, but she swallowed them back. She squatted down and touched the child's head, and asked in a warm voice: "I understand...what's your name, little brother?"

"...Luo." The little boy looked up at her.

"Then... Luo, take me now to find the Mr. Corazon you mentioned."

【two】

Corazon was also surprised when he saw the visitor - he had indeed met Andrea before, and that was a long time ago, when Andrea used pirates in exchange for bounties to support her family.

But that was just a one-sided relationship... Why did the other person appear here? And it was brought by Luo?

And Andrea saw the other party's strength, and after some communication, and the other party clearly stated that they could not let the navy come over, she also understood that not only did she seem to be unable to get the 50 billion, but she also saved an unknown person. A minor annoyance.

She felt a little headache, raised her hand to her forehead, sighed, and asked directly: "Is the fruit of the operation meant for the child suffering from platinum lead disease?"

Luo and Corazon immediately entered a state of tension.

"Don't be so nervous. I was just entrusted by the Warring States General to get the surgical fruit. Essentially, I'm just a bounty hunter. I'm only aiming for the bounty, not the devil fruit." Andrea said, turning to look at Dai Dai. The little boy wearing a stuffed hat said in a warning tone, "If Mr. Corazon entrusts me to rescue you, you will owe me 50 billion."

Luo was stunned for a moment, but relaxed, clenched his hands into fists, and nodded solemnly: "I know! I will definitely return 50 billion to you when I grow up!"

"You're quite brave, little guy." Andrea's eyes showed appreciation when she heard this, and her lips curled up in approval, "Okay, then it's settled."

If she hadn't been alone now, if she hadn't been asked by such a desperate child before, Andrea would definitely not have stepped in to save an unknown person.

But now that trouble has come to her door, she doesn't mind doing something righteous - at least, she can see that Corazon risked his life to snatch the fruits of the operation in order to save this little child suffering from platinum lead disease. Guy.

"You...actually don't need to get involved in this matter." Corazon's tone was a little complicated, "This is very dangerous..."

"Please don't get me wrong, I'm just an ordinary bounty hunter." Andrea said, drawing out her sword, "I just follow my own rules."

【three】

Corazon's concerns were justified.

Although Andrea is very strong, she cannot fight against so many people alone.

But in addition to her swordsmanship, she also has a smart mind.

Navy spies like Vergo... don't even need to start a fight - because Vergo knows that she is a helper invited by Sengoku and is part of the navy. In order not to expose his identity, he will automatically avoid her when he sees her.

As for Doflamingo... Andrea is also good friends with Admiral Crane. This time she came to snatch the fruits of the operation, and she still had a phone bug given by the navy.

Although she still inevitably had a fight with Doflamingo, she used her excellent acting skills to avoid making him suspicious, successfully delayed the time until Lieutenant General He came to intervene, and successfully saved Corazon and Law.

Of course, this was just the beginning. It took Andrea a lot of effort to successfully protect these two people. Fortunately, both Corazon and Luo are smart and cooperative enough.

Although one of the two people was a wounded person and the other was a seriously ill patient. Although Luo is a user with the surgery fruit ability, he has just eaten the fruit and does not know how to use the ability at all.

After Corazon got on Andrea's ship, he also took off the thick clown makeup on his face, revealing his true face.

This was the first time Luo saw it, and he stared at it curiously.

Andrea also looked surprised, and then said with a bit of understanding: "It's you..."

The blond young man whose codename was Corazon but whose real name was Rosinandy showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said softly: "Long time no see, Miss Leah."

[Four]

Andrea's trip took a long time this time, which made Lujiu a little worried.

But after the others came back, Lu Jiu's eyes couldn't help but become sharp - Forget about picking up children, has it now developed into picking up men? What should Mihawk do?

At this time, Hawkeye Mihawk, who was still fighting with another friend outside, sneezed and frowned in confusion - it couldn't be a cold?

But after Andrea explained the identity of the person she rescued, Lujiu could understand again, and immediately asked about the hobbies of Luo, who was hiding behind Rosinandi and seemed a little reserved, and then gave the newly joined family People tidy up and leave the room.

Just ...

"Why did you bring back a pet bear when you rescued someone?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Auntie, is this a food reserve?" Ace asked.

When the little white bear who was carried out by Andrea heard this, she howled in horror and crawled into Andrea's arms: "Wow wow wow—Miss Leah—!"

"It's okay, honey. Lujiu, Ace, this is Bebo. He is a fur tribe and not an ordinary pet."

【Fives】

For these three new members, Sabo, Ace and Perona all watched curiously - there was nothing they could do, they were the only ones on the island, and the baboons were tired of seeing them. Of course they were curious about the new people who had finally arrived.

Sabo and Ace would also pester Andrea to tell stories about going to sea, and each set their own ambitions to go to sea.

Perona, on the other hand, showed little interest in this and just acted coquettishly around Lujiu and Andrea - she liked this island very much! The island style is her favorite! She loves this home and doesn't like to go out! Every day at home is like being on vacation!

As for the new addition Luo Mo...

"I want to be a doctor." Trafalgar Law said seriously, holding a medical book.

Rocinante asked the child curiously: "Is it because of the results of the operation? Or is it because your father is also a doctor?"

Luo shook his head, with a solemn look on his face: "Because being a doctor can make money faster and pay off the 50 billion owed to Miss Leah."

Rosinandi: "...Luo, you don't need to be so serious. And this is the reward for saving me. I should exchange it for you."

"I entrusted it to Miss Leah, so it's my turn!"

After observing for a long time, Lu Jiu couldn't help but look at her sister: "50 billion?"

Andrea was also helpless: "I just looked at the child who was more serious, so I thought that saying this would make the other person feel at ease to accept my help... I really didn't mean to take the opportunity to rip him off!"

【six】

In the end, Andrea did not ask for the 50 billion, but instead recruited her as a disciple, and the reward of 50 billion was changed to inherit her swordsmanship and carry forward it.

Luo also takes this seriously.

And Andrea finally received a letter from Saab's parents - although they didn't care much about Saab, they did care about face, and they almost insulted Saab for being ungrateful.

Andrea felt that this was not going to work, so she decided to go over and deal with the matter thoroughly.

Of course, Sabo will definitely follow, and he decides to completely sever ties with his family. Naturally, his good friend Ace will not stay either.

Luo somewhat wanted to go with his new teacher, but he had just been cured of the platinum lead disease and was now weak, so Andrea prohibited him from going out.

Perona hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go out to play.

But in their line of business... something went wrong when they were about to get close to their destination - because a child drowned and a Neptune type appeared.

Of course Andrea wouldn't just sit idly by. When she saw someone swimming over to save the child, she started to deal with the Neptune type. There were still three children there in the background, applauding and cheering her.

Andrea turned around helplessly and scolded the three children who were watching the fun, and then shouted towards the person who saved the child: "Hey! Is the child okay?"

A red-haired head emerged from the sea, and then a little black-haired boy in the other person's arms.

The red-haired young man smiled at her and said hello: "It's okay! Thank you very much... huh? You are Hawkeye's friend, right?"

"Hmm..." Andrea looked at the other person's red hair, and heard him mention Hawkeye again. The other person's identity was already revealed - he was one of her unlucky brother-in-law's previous romantic partners, and he was on the ship. Intern, another good friend of Hawkeye, red-haired Shanks.

Thinking about this, she was silent for a few seconds and then asked seriously: "Do you like flowers?"

The red-haired young man hummed incomprehensibly, blinked, and replied with a smile: "Uh...can I like flowers?"

Andrea: "..." Confirmed, this is indeed Roger's crew.

【Seven】

Because she has a common friend, Hawkeye, Andrea even chatted with him for a few words. Of course, Andrea's topic never left Hawkeye - because Hawkeye hadn't been home for a long time and didn't even know where he went. She was wondering if it was because she picked up too many children that Hawkeye started running away from home.

After they exchanged names, Andrea also found out that the kid who fell into the water today was called Luffy, and he was actually Garp's grandson.

Andrea felt that this was evened out - Garp also saved Lujiu and Ace at that time, and now she also saved Luffy once.

Of course, this calm state of mind ended completely when Sabo's problem was finally solved and the group of people returned happily halfway... when Luffy suddenly appeared from the box.

Andrea had no choice but to send the child back quickly, and happened to run into Garp... In short, while Luffy was wailing over there and shouting everyone's names, Andrea and the others were sitting on the boat, feeling very excited. It's a little complicated, and there is a subtle sense of guilt that seems to have been abandoned.

Except Perona.

because……

"Who is Percy!" Perona retorted angrily.

【Eight】

After Andrea went back, she talked about this matter with Lujiu, with a lingering feeling of fear - she had raised many children, like Luffy who was usually very noisy and hid quietly. , I was the first one to blame him for not having a good time when parting.

She also chatted about Shanks with Hawkeye, who had just returned.

Hawkeye, who was still hesitant to look at Luo and Rosinandi and suspected that he was in the wrong place, immediately changed his attention and started chatting with Andrea.

Lujiu, who was watching secretly from the side, breathed a sigh of relief - it's great that Mihawk is as slow as Leah... No! This is not good!

But even though she was a little anxious, Lu Jiu would not interfere with anything without authorization.

Especially... look, Hawkeye can practice swordplay and drink with Leah, while Rocinante can chat with Leah about her dreams and help take care of the children...

Lujiu struggled for a long time and decided to give up - let Andrea choose! Anyway, she seems to be doing well now!

As for Andrea herself...

After learning some history from Rosinandi, she took a trip to the West Sea. What she brought back this time was not a child, but a girl who looked like a teenager.

"This is Robin... Anyway, for various reasons, he will live with us in the future." Andrea greeted her family with a smile on her face.

"Hello everyone..." Robin greeted with a bit of restraint and tentativeness.

The few people at the door who were frozen at first reacted after a few seconds.

Sabo and Ace ran over quickly, and after quickly greeting Robin and introducing themselves, they held Andrea's arms on the left and right and hung them on her.

"Auntie, you are so slow to come back!"

"Aunt Leah, please take us with you next time!"

Then Perona floated out, excitedly surrounding Robin who was at a loss: "Finally a girl is here! Your name is Robin, right? I am Perona, remember, we are in the same team !Don’t play with those boys!”

Then Luo came out holding his sword to report his training results to his teacher, followed by Bebo who picked a bouquet of flowers to present to Andrea.

Lujiu was already used to this, and asked Robin in a gentle voice her preferences and the room decoration she wanted.

Of course, children can be ignorant, but Andrea still told Rosinandi and Lujiu about Robin's identity.

It's not that Hawkeye is excluded, but that Hawkeye hasn't come back yet.

Lujiu was very calm about this, but Rosinandi thought more about it. Looking at the group of children mixed together, she felt a little complicated - the children of Roger the Pirate King, the orphans of Bai Town, the orphans of O'Hara... In comparison, Sabo, the son of a noble, and Perona, the orphan who ate a devil fruit, are a breath of fresh air.

"Don't worry." Andrea said with a smile on her face, "They have the path they choose. Our task is just to allow them to choose the path they like."

Andrea was not talking to Rosinandy, but to Luju.

Lujiu looked at her gently after hearing this: "Yes... You have worked hard too, Liya."

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a little effort."

Rosinandi was stunned there, looking at the side face of the black-haired woman who was speaking, and slowly smiled.

Of course, ten years later, the island would be labeled the "House of Sin" by the Navy, but that was another story.
