[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【One hundred and forty-one】

Naturally, when I came to Krajana Island, I was looking for Eagle Eye, which was considered an ordinary visit - after all, I had agreed to ask Eagle Eye to get some red wine.

Among this group of children, only Ace has been here before. He is familiar with the roads and even goes to say hello to the baboons he knows.

Andrea had always wondered how he managed to communicate with the baboons and identify each one.

But after a while, she just wondered why Luffy, a guy who was obviously face-blind and very incapable of recognizing people, could actually recognize the baboon.

Hawkeye was a little surprised by the arrival of their family, but he didn't have any big mood swings. However, when Luo saw Hawkeye's farming mode, the shock on his expression remained for a long time.

While sitting down to rest and chat, Hawkeye mentioned one thing: "The World Government is once again recruiting me to become a Shichibukai."

Andrea was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she thought about it and suggested pertinently: "That's it... Actually, you can think about it. For your character, this decision is not harmful."

Joining the King's Shichibukai will cancel the wanted order, which can prevent harassment by the navy and bounty hunters. Although Hawkeye is not afraid of those people at all, he is afraid of trouble.

Anyway, the World Government has a free-range system for the Shichibukai, and will even turn a blind eye to some crimes unless it harms the interests of the World Government. As for compulsory summons...it's no big deal and no trouble. Moreover, for a type like Hawkeye who works alone, if he is unhappy and leaves, he will just go back to his old life, which is no big deal.

In fact, this is also the reason why Marshal Sengoku contacted Andrea before - Andrea raised a group of children, and also worked with the Navy. She once had a good relationship with Rosinandi, and later asked Aoki to hand over important information to the Navy. She also met Garp. Although she was Whitebeard's daughter, she didn't look like becoming a pirate or getting involved with Whitebeard's forces.

In his opinion, Andrea is more stable and friendly, and her weaknesses are more obvious, making it easier to cooperate after becoming a Shichibukai.

Of course, if he knew the true identities of Andrea's children, I'm afraid he wouldn't think so.

"I have no interest at the moment." Hawkeye replied, "Although the red hair has become boring, you are still here anyway."

Andrea understood Hawkeye's subtext - because of Shanks' arm problem, he felt that he couldn't enjoy fighting with the opponent, and Shanks became boring. But anyway, she is still here, and I can still challenge her, so it’s not boring, so I won’t join the Shichibukai to see what’s new.

Although she understood, Andrea suddenly had a subtle feeling that she and Shanks were both tools to Hawkeye.

Andrea said helplessly: "So you will join the Shichibukai when you feel bored? This is too boring."

Hawkeye glanced at her: "The way you talk really sounds like a redhead."

"How can there be-" Andrea retorted, but when Shanks was mentioned she also started chatting along the topic, "But looking at the newspaper, Shanks and the others should be in the New World now, right? What is the current sphere of influence of the New World? It’s quite difficult to survive...but for that guy, there should be no problem.”

Andrea's last words were accented.

Because when she said that, Hawkeye also said the same thing.

The two of them were stunned at the same time, then looked at each other, smiled in a tacit understanding, and then each drank red wine and read the newspaper.

Luo looked on and was a little puzzled, but at least he was sure of one thing - these three people were familiar with each other and had a really good relationship.

It's just that...even he doesn't understand what the relationship between these three people is exactly!

【One hundred and forty-two】

Although now that he has met Hawkeye, his house is still very big and there are no other living people on the island, so the usual fight between the two is still inevitable.

During this period, the training of several others did not fall behind. Luo Huan accidentally stimulated the new ability of the surgical fruit during a tough battle with the island's baboons.

This made Andrea start to think about whether it would be better if she caught some small animals to train as Luo's sparring partner after she went back...

Andrea thought so and looked at Bebo hesitantly. But after a few seconds, she looked away - forget it, Bebo couldn't do it.

Bebo, who had no idea that he had escaped, was still there excitedly applauding Luo.

Andrea just went over to say hello and didn't stay at Hawkeye's side for too long.

However, under Hawkeye's reminder, she thought it was time to buy Luo a handy sword.

With this feeling, at the next stop at Shuangyue Village, Andrea took Luo to the weapons store and let him choose a knife. The owner of the weapons store said that this knife was called "Ghost Cry" and it was the treasure of the store. It cost 10 million beli.

After Andrea was silent for a long time, she revealed her identity, asked for a discount, and spent five million beli to win it.

When paying the bill, she weighed the knife in her hand and spoke to the boss with a smile: "I hope this knife is worthy of its price and reputation as a treasure of the store. If it disappoints me...you know what will piss me off." What’s the end result?”

Weapon shop owner: "...Three, three million Baileys! It really can't go any lower!"

Andrea left the store with satisfaction - this is so cool!

You must know that when she first came to this world, she was a person who didn't know how to bargain and didn't have much concept of money. This is all because life made her start to be careful with her budget!

"I see... Do you have to do this when you don't have enough money?"

"You know what will happen if you piss me off, right?"

"Luffy, you've learned a lot, but your expression needs to be a little more fierce..."

...This group of unlucky kids are particularly active and self-taught at times like this, right? ——Andrea gave each of the three people a blast, and asked them to follow her back to the ship obediently, accompanied by a new round of lectures.

Of course, Andrea didn't know that there was a small commotion not long after she left.

"Really?! Sword Demon is here?!"

"Yes, she came with her child... She should be buying a knife for her eldest son, right? Her eldest son really looks like Hawkeye, but the younger son has red hair and that straw hat... No wonder the Straw Hat is not on the red-haired latest wanted poster... huh? Where is the Zoro?"

"He's gone a long time ago." The other customers in the store complained, and then they walked over excitedly, "Did you really see the Sword Demon just now?"

When the owner of the weapon shop started chatting with the customers, the green-haired boy with a crew cut who had just rushed out ran at a fast speed.

"Where is the port?"

"Over there...wait! Why are you running in the opposite direction!"

At the same time, Andrea at the port was instructing the children to move things, then checked the list and checked off the last option.

"Okay, now I've bought everything I need to buy. Let's go home!"

Andrea, who was setting sail, didn't know that there was a little boy in Frost Moon Village who was running all the way just to see her.

...Of course, there’s nothing wrong with knowing it.

Because even if she waited for a few more hours, the little boy would not be able to reach the port. It's not because he runs slowly or the village is big, it's simply because he never goes in the right direction.

The little boy who finally ran to the port before dark was panting. After asking and learning that the person he was looking for had left, he stood there in despair.

But at the same time, he also clenched his fists and made up his mind - Guina, I will definitely work together for your sake to challenge the Sword Demon and Hawkeye, and become the world's number one swordsman!

【a hundred and forty three】

This time around the trip went smoothly.

There was no big incident or any sudden accident. Although her reward was issued, few people dared to catch her in a place like the East China Sea. You know, some of the navy ran away when they saw her.

During this period, there were some unthinkable ones who targeted her children and wanted to use them as hostages as threats... However, as of now, these children can defeat them all.

In fact, currently, Bebo is the weakest in the whole ship.

But no one is aiming at Bebo. They all regard it as a pet, probably the type where the bounty starts at 50 beli.

Returning to Windmill Village, it was just in time for the new year, which also happened to be Ace's birthday.

Andrea asked the children to hand over their things to everyone in Windmill Village, then took back a bunch of gifts in return and returned to her home in a grand manner.

Whenever it's the children's birthdays, Andrea will definitely cook them herself. The same goes for commemorative photos of course.

Logically speaking, with Luffy here, it would be appropriate to take a selfie... But Luffy's photography skills are terrible, and he often scares the phone bug.

But this time, Andrea gained experience through communicating with Newsbird - she used feed to make a deal with the phone bugs and started taking timed photos after positioning.

Andrea carefully collected the photos and put them away.

She pays attention to the sense of ritual, so... her photo album also clearly records according to the year and event, what photos were taken when and to commemorate what.

The new year started peacefully. Everyone was one year older, and Andrea took them to buy a batch of new clothes.

But it was just a peaceful beginning.

Soon, shortly after celebrating Sabo’s birthday, Andrea received two pieces of bad news one after another————

First, Doflamingo became a Shichibukai;

Second, Tom of Water City is about to be executed.

If the first news made Andrea and Luo feel bad, but they were actually somewhat mentally prepared for this situation, the second news was shocking.

After all, Andrea remembered that the last time she went to the Water City, Tom was able to get rid of the death penalty because of his contribution to building the sea train.

After Andrea took the chips and gave them to the Newsbird, she frowned and read the report in the newspaper carefully - it said that Tom attacked the judicial ship, so the credit for building the sea train offset this, or because He was executed for building ships for the Pirate King...

Andrea was suspicious and didn't believe the superficial reports in the newspapers at all - how could Tom attack the justice ship?

Sabo and Ace also saw this and were a little anxious, each grabbing the corner of her clothes.

"Mom! What's wrong with Uncle Tom? Didn't he say he was fine before?"

"Are Frank and the others okay? Is this accusation true?"

"Calm down." Andrea put her arm around each other and pressed their heads. After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't worry, you two... I'll go take a look."

Even if she goes there now, it may be a little late... But there are some things, even if you know the result, you still have to try hard. At least we need to find out what the truth is.

This is another trip out, and the Water City is on the Grand Line, which means it will definitely take some time to go out.

Likewise, it was not possible to bring the children this time. Not to mention that she went there with the intention of blocking the World Government's judgment. She herself was still wanted, and it was too risky to take her children there.

Although there was an accident at home last time she went out, but with the experience last time, Andrea felt that this group of children would learn their lesson and stop running around.

After all, he has grown up by two years and is much more sensible, and there are no hidden dangers left in Goa Kingdom.

Andrea also gave them some good instructions before leaving, asking them to wait obediently for her to come home.

But... Andrea didn't know at this time that something happened this time.

But this time, it was not the children who were in trouble, but her.

That was after she finally arrived at the Isle of Justice, but after Tom had been executed.

Andrea knew that the done deal was irreversible. With a heavy heart, she wanted to return to the Water City to see how Tom's two disciples were doing... but she happened to meet the person who framed Tom and took him away for execution. , CP5 chief Spandam.

Andrea was too lazy to pay attention to him originally.

But he couldn't resist Spandam and wanted to die. After discovering that she was a sword demon, he drifted away. He thought that he could catch the sword demon and then be promoted... but because of his arrogant attitude and the fact that he captured Tom was exposed , was chased and beaten by an angry Andrea.

Andrea was really angry this time - she had many reasons for not killing the Celestial Dragons directly last time; but the person in front of her has been confirmed to be a scum, so she will naturally not show mercy.

When a warship was chased and beaten by Andrea alone, and the warship was damaged, and Spandam's leg was cut, and he began to cry for mercy, a change occurred.

Andrea was stunned for a while before she suddenly remembered that she had reached the vicinity of the Water Capital after such a pursuit.

In the city of water, there is a once-a-year tsunami - the Gods of Water.

Andrea then gave up the pursuit and clicked her tongue. She watched the target run away in a mess with a gloomy look on her face. She folded the sails and planned to deal with the tsunami.

It's just...this time, things don't seem to be very optimistic.

In addition to the tsunami, there was also thick fog all around.

This was not like a tsunami...and this white mist felt very familiar to her, and the uncertainty and doubts in her heart began to multiply.

She didn't know how long she had been walking in the thick fog, but Andrea no longer felt the waves and wind and rain. Instead, she felt something familiar...a sharp, distant, and somewhat hollow moan.

This sound didn't seem to penetrate, but seemed to melt into the surrounding fog, attacking from all directions.

Andrea, who had always been alert, turned her head and met a yellow pupil with a diameter of almost one meter high.

In an instant, her pupils shrank suddenly - it was a white whale! ! !
