[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【One hundred fourteen】

At this time, Andrea was on her way to the Shampoo Islands.

Because there is a naval base in the Shampoo Islands.

In fact, originally, it would have been better to go to the Navy Headquarters... But the Navy Headquarters is located on the isolated island Marinevando surrounded by the sea, and it is inaccessible to ordinary people.

After all, she was neither a navy nor a subordinate of the navy, so rushing there didn't look like she was sending information, but rather like she was looking for trouble.

Especially since she knew that there were Doflamingo's spies inside the navy, she needed to be more careful.

And...she was actually still thinking about why Rosinandi handed over the information to her at that time. In addition to feeling that the navy at that time could not be trusted and entrusting Luo, there were deeper factors.

The process of traveling alone seems a bit boring.

At this time, Andrea couldn't help but began to feel that although her children were noisy, they were more lively. Thinking about it, she was still a little worried - the children didn't even call... Is it because they were really having a good time at home and didn't have her to take care of them anymore, or was it because they were in trouble and were too anxious to cover it up? Let her know.

Anyway, it is impossible to be obedient all the time. The children you raise know this.

Then, a week later, when she was holding the record pointer to confirm the direction, she received a call.

When she heard the phone bug starting to call, Andrea was quite happy and smiled in the sea breeze: "What's wrong?"

There was silence at first on the other end of the phone, and then there was loud crying.

And from one to plural.

Andrea was startled, the smile on her face suddenly faded, she frowned and repeated: "What's wrong? Don't be afraid, speak slowly."

[Wah wow wow—Mom—Saab, Sabo he—] Luffy’s voice was the loudest.

[Wuwuwuwu——] Bebo’s cry is very recognizable.

[Don’t say that yet! It’s not yet certain that something happened to Saab! Luo scolded everyone, then walked to the phone and began to describe the cause and effect.

From when Sabo was captured by his biological parents, to when they tried to rescue Sabo but encountered the terminal being burned down, to when the plan was arranged and they decided to try again...the bandits on Dadan sent a message ——Sabo took a boat and tried to go out to sea when the Celestial Dragons arrived, but was attacked by the Celestial Dragons.

Andrea listened quietly the whole time, occasionally asking a few questions in a calm tone.

After Luo finished narrating, both parties fell into silence.

"I understand, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Luffy, be good, and just like Luo said, something may not have happened to Sabo, don't worry." Andrea paused and said, "Ai Where is Si?"

[…He kept shouting that he was going to avenge Sabo, so I tied him up. 】

"This kid is really..." Andrea sighed, "Let that kid listen to the phone."

After listening to Andrea's words, Luo went out with the phone bug and said to Ace who was tied to the tree: "Teacher Leah wants to talk to you."

Ace, who was originally tied up because he was blocked, turned his head away from Luo in anger. After hearing this, he immediately turned back and started struggling again: "Mom! Ask Luo to let me go! I'm going to avenge Sabo!"

【Ace! Don't mess around! You are not going for revenge at all, you are going to die! ] Andrea's tone was unprecedentedly stern, [If you still plan to recognize me as your mother, don't mess around! 】

Ace was startled, shut up and became quiet.

After Andrea was silent for a moment, her tone softened: [Be good, just listen to Luo when I'm not around, and wait until I come back. 】

Ace still looked dissatisfied and said loudly: "I don't want to listen to him! His plan didn't work either!"

【Ace! Andrea said sharply, "I'm going to get angry when you look like this!" 】

Ace then calmed down and stopped making any sound.

Luo ignored him and reported a few more words to Andrea. After the other party hung up the phone, he returned home and told Luffy and Bebo: "You are not allowed to let him go." Come down!"

Luffy and Bepo were startled, hugged each other and nodded.

Luo returned to his room and was silent until Andrea called.

[Luo, it’s you, right? 】

"Well, it's me."

[Sorry, that boy Ace is still young and not very sensible. I will beat him up and make him apologize when I come back. 】 Andrea spoke with concern, but when the other party didn't speak, after a moment of silence, she said, "There's still some time before I come back, so you need to keep an eye on them..."

"I'm sorry..." Luo suddenly spoke, with a cry in his voice, "I'm sorry... Teacher Lia... I didn't take good care of them... If they had run out and I had followed... or if I had gone to find them earlier... ...Saab will not be taken away, and nothing will happen...Ace is right, my plan is of no use..."

By the end of his speech, he couldn't control himself and started crying.

Although he could still act like a big boy in front of Ace Luffy and the others, he couldn't control it at this time.

[According to what you said, this time it became like this because I went out. 】

"No, this is not Teacher Lia at all..."

[Luo, this is not your responsibility at all. You have done a good job, even very well. At this time, you might as well learn from Ace and blame the culprit, the Celestial Dragon, if something happens to Sabo, and don't add unnecessary pressure to yourself. What's more, just because everyone saw the boat sinking, it doesn't mean something must have happened to Saab, right? 】

"Is it really going to be okay?"

【It will be fine. Before that, I would like to ask you, Luo, to continue to take good care of this home. 】

"……Um."

Luo gradually calmed down in Andrea's comforting voice.

After hanging up the phone, he wiped away his tears, stood up, and walked out... Then he was startled by Ace standing at the door - when did this guy break free of the rope? Or did Luffy, Bepo and the others help?

After the two stared at each other for a while, Ace was the first to speak out: "I will listen to my mother and not take revenge, so you don't have to tie me up."

Luo nodded: "If you keep your word, I won't tie you up."

"I'm going to go to the beach and see if I can find Sabo."

"I also have this intention. We can borrow a small boat from Windmill Village. Luffy and I can't swim, so we will help on the boat. It's up to you and Bebo to dive into the sea to find Sabo. But we can't dive too deep. Or go into areas that are too dangerous.”

"Ah."

After the two of them finished speaking, they began to do their own things in silence and walked forward together.

"I'm sorry about what happened just now." Ace said, "Your plan is quite good."

"...Yeah." Luo responded, "It doesn't matter. I didn't think carefully."

Ace retorted: "It's none of your business! I'm the eldest brother. I was supposed to protect Sabo, but I watched others take him away... If I had stopped them at that time, nothing would have happened to Sabo. In the final analysis, I'm still too weak."

"You're just a kid."

"You're not a few years older than me."

When the two began to review themselves and bicker, Luffy opened the door and walked out with a life preserver wrapped around him and dragging another in his hand - this was all because Andrea had not seen him before. I can't play in the water but I really like the sea, so I feel a little pity that I bought it especially for him.

After he came out, he turned to face the stunned Luo and Ace, and shouted in an urging tone: "Isn't Ace - Luo - going to find Sabo! Hurry up!"

Both of them rushed over and grabbed him.

Luo: "We are looking for you! Why are you, a brat who can drown, causing trouble!"

Ace: "Luffy, you are only responsible for looking after the boat! You can't go into the sea! Why don't you bring a swimming ring!"

【One Hundred and Fifteen】

On the other side, the shipwrecked Sabo was rescued by another group of people.

This person is exactly...

"Ah! It's the strange uncle I saw in town before but he can understand what I say!" Sabo made the final decision.

Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Long: "..." Isn't this attributive too long?

Monkey D. Dragon, the son of Vice Admiral Garp, is also the biological father of Luffy.

He came to Goa Kingdom this time because this is his hometown. And after he knew what the Kingdom of Goa had done to welcome the arrival of the Celestial Dragons, he used his ability to save a large number of people who would have been buried in the sea of ​​​​fire - the gust of wind that Ace and the others encountered when they escaped was Dragon's abilities.

In the end, Long also left with the survivors who were willing to follow him.

This fire is just a microcosm of a world that is rotten and in need of change. And he will lead the awakened people to change and fight for freedom and the future.

Long still remembered Sabo because Sabo's insight into the nobles, his own compassion, and his strong self-awareness impressed him deeply.

After rescuing the other party, he also learned from Sabo how the child was injured, and he became more determined about the goal he wanted to achieve.

But he was also curious about where Sabo's idea came from.

After chatting with the other party, Long also learned the name of another person - Devonshire D. Andrea.

From Sabo's words, it can be known that the other party should also be from a noble family. It just seems that he is in a state of seclusion, and his views on the world are quite consistent with his own.

Unlike Sengoku's idea that Andrea was an exiled noble, Long thought that this might be the same as Sabo. Although he enjoyed privileges as a noble, he saw through the nature of the world and was disappointed, so he left that class.

He is very interested in the other person and really wants to chat with him. But before that... he also had to send Sabo back to the Kingdom of Goa - Sabo mentioned that he still had family members and was afraid that they would be worried.

In this way, after the revolutionary army's ship docked at Shuangyue Village for a few days to replenish supplies, Long took Sabo and stopped at Windmill Village and put the man down.

At this time, ten days had passed since Sabo's boat had an accident.

Sabo's appearance shocked everyone in Windmill Village. Under the guidance of everyone, Sabo learned that his brothers did not think he was dead and were still looking for someone in the sea near his accident. I was very moved and ran in the direction pointed by the villagers. I happened to meet a few people who had worked in vain all day and were ready to go home dejectedly.

"Hey - Ace - Luo - Luffy - Bepo -!" Sabo called the person's name, raised a smile, waved his hand and ran towards the person, saying loudly, "I'm fine - I'm back. —!"

Several people were stunned at first, and then ran towards him, the expressions on their faces changed from disbelief to surprise: "Saab——!"

Several people hugged each other immediately.

Luffy was the first to cry: "Wow wow wow - Sabo - I knew mom wouldn't lie! Sabo, you are really fine!"

After the surprise, Luo and Ace started beating people with anger on their faces.

"Asshole! Come back as soon as possible since you're still alive!"

"Thankfully we thought you were dead and we were ready to build a tombstone for you!"

Several people got into a mess, crying and laughing, and what started as a warm and touching reunion turned into a random fight and a group fight.

After being exhausted, several people collectively lay down on the ground, with varying degrees of smiles on their faces, and all the gloom of the past few days was gone.

"Ah, we have to go back quickly and tell Teacher Lia..."

"Yes, tell mom that Sabo is fine!"

"Mom must know that Sabo is fine!"

"Does mom know about this? I want to talk to mom too!"

A group of little ghosts got up one after another, got together in a group and went home together, laughing and joking.

【One hundred and sixteen】

"That's it... Sabo is fine, just fine. Revolutionary Army, right? You'll make a special trip to say thank you next time you see me." Andrea listened to the energetic voices of the children on the other end of the phone, feeling high in her heart. I finally let it go.

Just for saving her child, she definitely wanted to thank the revolutionary army.

"Don't worry, I'm almost done with it here. I'll be back soon. You guys have to be good during this period." Andrea's voice was gentle, with a bit of a smile, after listening to the children's obedient responses one by one. , hung up the phone.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief that Sabo was fine and didn't have to rush back.

But this matter will not be settled like this.

Andrea did not continue her previous trip, but went to the only route from the East China Sea to the Grand Line and began to wait, observing the approaching ships with a telescope.

One of the codes of chivalry is to be fair and impartial, and she abides by this.

So... I originally thought about killing, but now, let's spare the other person's life.

If the other party attacked Sabo on his way home, she would also attack him on his way back to Marigio.

Sabo's boat sank, so she cut off the opponent's boat with her sword, completely destroying everything. She watched everyone struggling in the water and clinging to the driftwood of the boat.

It might have taken a lot of effort, but I don't know whether this Tianlong man is too brainless or too courageous. He didn't think that he was looking for trouble when a ship like this blocked him. Instead, he used a telescope to look at her. Want to rob people.

Ah, and the projectiles and cannons modified by Frame back then also came in handy. If given the chance, she would also like to thank him.

"Disrespectful man! Do you know who you are attacking?!"

"Come quickly! I want to capture this woman and make her my slave!"

"Shut up, pariah." Andrea stood on her ship, looking condescendingly at the Celestial Dragon wearing a fish tank-like device. Her tone and posture were extremely arrogant, and she took out the documents she had shared with other nobles many years ago. The tone of voice when competing.

Tianlong, who had never been called a pariah before, was stunned. His mouth was trembling, and he couldn't pronounce a complete syllable in anger.

And Andrea continued to speak: "Remember, I am Devonshire D. Andrea."

She was satisfied to see the other party's expression suddenly turned horrified after hearing that D.

It's just a little regretful that she can't just say that she beats this idiot for the sake of her child. Because according to the Tenryu people's principle of repaying anger, if they knew that she was because of Sabo, they would most likely target the entire Kingdom of Goa.

Forget it, it’s fair and just if we fight back anyway.

But it feels like this is not enough... Ah, yes, Saab has no driftwood to catch, and if the revolutionary army hadn't happened to pass by to save people, there's no telling what would have happened.

"Since you are a Celestial Dragon, you should have heard this sentence, right?" Andrea laughed, with a bit of teasing tone in her tone, and her face should obviously be gorgeous. At this time, in front of the other party's eyes It's like a ghost inside.

"Naughty children will be eaten by D."

Andrea raised her sword again, and while others on the side were horrified and yelled, she swung her sword towards the piece of driftwood where the Celestial Dragon was lying.
