[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【forty】

The Kingdom of Goa is located in the East China Sea and is known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea.

This is related to its unique geographical advantage. This world has vast seas and numerous islands. The Kingdom of Goa is like a barrier to other places because of its geographical location.

Of course, this does not mean that it is truly isolated and peaceful, and is a commendable paradise.

The city center of the Kingdom of Goa is inhabited by the royal family and nobles of the kingdom, and is divided into the royal palace (where the royal family lives), the high town (where the nobles live), and the central street (where civilians live).

Andrea had long known what kind of person this actual prince and noble was, and felt that the city center was not suitable for living with children. In addition, according to her temper, she would probably hit those nobles directly when she saw them. She would definitely not be able to live in this place for long...so she had no intention of living in the city.

The border towns outside the city center are even more desolate.

Outside the border town is the wall, and there is a place that looks like a garbage dump called the Uncertain Terminal. It is a place where others discard things and some people search for things.

Further out is Mount Golber.

Andrea had also seen the map and knew the structure of the kingdom. After careful consideration, she simply built a hut on Mount Gorbo and settled on the mountain with Ace.

There are mostly jungles on the mountain, and there are also wild animals, but for Andrea, these are small cases, and even for Ace, who is only four years old now - he has been following his mother since he was a child. He ran through the Grand Line, traveled through new worlds, and even faced the overbearing and domineering kid with white beard.

He could even go to the mountains to play during Andrea's sword practice, hunt some game and come back happily for a snack.

There are benefits to living in the mountains and forests, which are better than purity and simplicity.

Andrea usually teaches Ace. After class, Ace will run out and play wildly. When he comes back dirty, he will be scolded by Andrea. He will be thrown into the bath and then change clothes. After dinner, he will lie down. Listen to Andrea's bedtime stories on her lap.

Every once in a while, Andrea would take Ace to the town to buy necessities and play. It was also at this time that Ace occasionally heard bad words about Roger, the Pirate King.

Andrea was a little worried at first, but after thinking about it for a while, little Ace came to his own conclusion: "What they said is very different from what Uncle Reilly and Uncle Tom said...it's obvious that they are the ones who No one who has ever met Roger.”

Andrea felt relieved after hearing this. She changed the supplies she was holding to one hand, bent down and picked up Ace with the other hand: "This is normal. It's like I am yours, Ace." Mommy, but to some people, I am just a ferocious sword ghost."

Wasn't she originally called the Sword Demon because of her bloody battles? Her pair of red eyes in the dark night scared the enemy into screaming.

Little Ace's attention immediately went astray, he clenched his fists and said with an unhappy expression: "I will beat anyone who speaks ill of Mom!"

Andrea: "...Before beating someone, we have to convince them with reason."

"But Mom Leah, you weren't being reasonable when you beat up those pirates."

“We don’t have to be reasonable with people who are unreasonable.”

"Well...it's so hard to tell the difference! Just beat the other person first, and then ask him if he wants to be reasonable!"

"...Starting from tomorrow, you will have half an hour more time in class."

After living in the Gorbo Mountains for a while, Andrea also got to know her neighbors, the bandits Dadan family.

Although they are said to be neighbors, their residences are actually quite far apart.

At the beginning, they discovered Ace, who was still a little arrogant. After Andrea came out, he even tried to rob him... and then they were thoroughly taught how to behave, and he knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake smoothly.

Kali Dadan, the matron of the Dadan family, was not convinced at first: "She's just a woman with a child! There's nothing to be afraid of!"

One of the bandits: "But... that woman seems to be the rumored sword ghost."

Kali Dadan was shocked: "What!? Isn't the Sword Demon supposed to be dealing with the relationship between the red hair and Hawkeye?! Why did he end up here?!"

Bandit No. 2: "I don't know. Maybe she thought the men were fighting, and then she came here with her children to avoid the limelight?"

A group of people gathered together in whispers and discussed seven or eight versions. However, they suddenly realized that no matter which version it was, it didn't matter to them. Kali Dadan beat the group of people, and the next day he was quite skillful. He ran to Sword Demon to apologize.

Andrea didn't care about this. She didn't intend to dominate the mountain and was not opposed to having neighbors. It's better to say that having other people around can be more convenient at certain times.

And she also knew that these people should be Garp's old acquaintances - she still remembered Garp saying that his plan was to leave Ace in the care of bandits.

After Andrea observed it, she was very glad that she insisted on raising Ace by herself, otherwise she would really feel sorry for Lujiu.

I don’t know if it was because of what he was thinking, but not long after, Garp came to the door.

【Forty-two】

Andrea was teaching Ace how to write when Garp arrived.

Because Garp was here and he was able to skip class legally, Ace jumped up very happily. Then under Andrea's threatening eyes, he bowed to Garp first, said "Hello", and then looked at Andrea. Ya Guaiqiao asked: "Mom, can I go out to play?"

Andrea crossed her arms and nodded in agreement: "Go, don't run too far, you'll be back within an hour."

"Okay——!" Ace said and ran out happily.

Andrea also greeted Garp in a friendly way: "Long time no see, Lieutenant General Garp."

"Hahaha! It's been a long time indeed..." Garp looked at the direction in which Ace ran away, and felt a little emotional, "You really taught Ace well... He looks completely different from Roger. Same, more like Lujiu."

Andrea hesitated to speak, but she still maintained it on the surface - even though she worked so hard, Ace just learned how to be pretentious, but at least she was able to fool the people she met for the first time... In short, I hope Garp can do it before Ace comes back. Just walk away.

Garp only learned about her arrival from the Dadan family and came over to catch up on old times and see how Ace was doing. He also spoke of his grandson now being dumped in Windmill Village.

Andrea asked curiously and learned that this man had left his grandson in Windmill Village to be taken care of by others since he was born. Her eyes couldn't help but become sharp - this was the person Roger had hired to take care of Ace... …He can’t even take care of his own grandson!

Garp just came over to take a look and simply catch up on old times. Seeing that Ace was being raised well by Andrea, he felt reassured and left.

Andrea learned about Windmill Village from him, and after learning that it was a small town that belonged to the Goa Kingdom, but was almost isolated from the Goa Kingdom due to geographical issues, she thought about going there one day to have a look—— I heard Karp say that it is a small port and has good wine.

But before that, the first thing she wanted to pay attention to was Ace, who had not returned after being gone for more than an hour.

Although children like to play wildly, Ace has always obeyed after she seriously explained the time limit. Andrea didn't come back for a long time this time, which made Andrea a little worried.

She put on her sword, went out and followed the footsteps left by Ace, and finally found Ace near the edge of the Goa Kingdom.

This unlucky kid made himself dirty and had some injuries on his body, but he had a smile on his face and was dragging along a kid who was about the same height as him. After seeing Andrea, he ran over happily and shouted: "Mom Leah! Can I take Sabo home to play with me!"
