[Pirates] Retired Knight's Logbook

【twenty five】

As the child grows up and starts to run, jump, and talk...the level of destructiveness and distress also increases.

Of course, Andrea's gentlemanly education initially appears to be facing great challenges.

Andrea thought for a moment and thought that the Hawkeyes' baboons might be to blame.

Alas, it was because Hawkeye's place was so peaceful that she became careless for a while.

In short, the child is still young, so there is still a chance for correction, and Andrea will naturally not give up her own education - in short, she must keep up with daily etiquette, and then teach people to read.

Although the problems in this world are somewhat different from her own, with a good education and a smart mind, Andrea has solved them all in the first six months since she arrived.

And as a son of the Devonshire family, he must not be illiterate!

In fact, Ace is quite smart and is not tiring to teach.

The point is that it's tiring to make him sit down and listen to you teach him this.

After basically only ten minutes of teaching, the unlucky child began to change from sitting to lying down or rolling around in boredom: "Mom Leah - this is very boring -"

"Sit up straight for me!" Andrea lifted little Ace's collar and asked him to sit up. "You are not allowed to go out to play until you finish learning these things! Also, how many times have I told you! You can call Mom Mi or mother, please don’t call me mom!”

"I don't want it! That sounds weird, and I feel like I will be laughed at by others!"

"Who in this sea would laugh at you! A Neptune type!?"

Andrea swore that she was really a good mother and aunt at the beginning, and then she was forced by reality to develop into a mixture of a loving mother and a strict father. If she continued to develop, she would probably be a mixture of a strict father and a strict mother.

But skin is skin, and little Ace is still very obedient most of the time, except for the fact that he refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.

He has a deep dependence on Andrea, who has raised him single-handedly and can be said to be dependent on her for life. Although he is naughty and mischievous, he will become extremely well-behaved when he finds that Andrea is really angry or sad.

At the beginning, Andrea would correct some problems, but when she discovered that although Ace would correct himself because of her own compulsion, he was obviously forced to do so... She suddenly softened her heart and reflected on herself—— She clearly promised Lujiu to make Ace the person she wanted to be, so how could she impose her will?

After reflecting on it, she decided to let go and let Ace develop according to his own nature.

Of course, she must teach basic etiquette and knowledge, and this unfortunate child must also learn it.

Thinking on the bright side, after receiving her education, this naughty kid apologized very quickly. In addition to a sincere apology and determination not to change.

Naturally, it was not smooth sailing for the mother and son to go to the Chambord Islands. After Roger's declaration before his execution, pirates indeed became rampant.

Just like the small island the two of them are currently on, there are pirates robbing civilians, and even a navy this time... But this doesn't look like a regular navy going to war, but like a lone navy that happens to meet This group of pirates came out to protect civilians.

Andrea observed for a moment, and after confirming the situation, she directly drew her sword.

Andrea's reputation spread on this side of the East China Sea. The closer she got to the Chambord Islands, the stronger the pirates she encountered.

Not only does this not worry her, but she feels happy - only those with sufficient strength can be called opponents, otherwise it can only be regarded as cutting vegetables!

And after she took action to deal with the pirates, and held down a few pirates while letting little Ace stand there holding up the bounty orders one by one and comparing the names and bounty amounts, she also noticed the man who was trying to protect civilians. And the wounded navy.

The other person had short blond hair and looked at her blankly. When he knew she was looking over, he hesitated and said, "Excuse me...are you Miss Sword Demon?"

Wow... the first time someone called me by my nickname, they added the suffix to politely address me! finally! ——Andrea felt a strange sense of relief.

Although this is just basic etiquette, it is really rare in this world.

"I'm still not used to my nickname. You can just call me Andrea." Andrea put away her sword, held the reward for the pirate she had caught in one hand, and looked at the other party slightly. Smiling, "You have the courage to protect others even though you know the disparity between us and the enemy. You are very courageous and responsible. It's amazing... You are a navy, right? Can I ask you to redeem these bounties directly for me?"

"Of course." The navy nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Rocinante."

【Twenty-six】

This marine had a good temper and was very kind. After thanking Andrea for saving her life, he helped Andrea redeem the reward.

Andrea didn't leave immediately. After all, she needed to replenish supplies, and she also wanted to take little Ace to see more of the world, so she took the child to visit the town.

When Rosinandy came over with the exchanged money, he happened to catch up with Andrea's daily gentlemanly education to little Ace.

He was a little curious. After watching for a while, when the education time was over and Ace immediately ran out to have fun, he stepped forward to ask: "Miss Andrea, you are very attentive to Ace's education. …”

"Well, I don't really expect him to be a qualified gentleman anymore...then he should at least be an unqualified gentleman." Andrea was a little tired, "Speaking of which, you do have a bit of aristocratic demeanor. .”

Rosinandi was startled, and his whole body tensed up.

Andrea, on the other hand, realized that in this world, nobility is a curse word. She was stunned for a moment and immediately explained: "Sorry, in our hometown, nobility is not a curse word. Speaking of which, if I didn't come out, I wouldn't do it. I know there are such embarrassing things as Tianlong people!"

Rossindi: "..."

And because of the silence of the other party and the fact that he had already spilled the beans, Andrea was filled with a little indignation and scolded the rule of the Tianlong people, and then began to output her own opinions: "In our side, the so-called aristocrats Ah, the first criterion is not his dress, his etiquette, or his pomp, but his ability and the responsibilities he can bear! If you enjoy better treatment, you should take on greater responsibilities. !”

In Andrea's world, nobles need to protect and shelter common people, and chivalry is prevalent.

Rosinandi was quite curious about her philosophy, and the two had an in-depth discussion on this issue.

Andrea didn't mind talking more. After all, there was nowhere to talk to others about this kind of thing. It was rare to meet someone who was interested.

At the end, Rosinandi also asked: "Miss Andrea, do you believe there are good people among the Celestial Dragons?"

"Huh? Of course there will be. If there is a Tianlong person who can become a good person with equal values ​​​​in that kind of environment, then I will respect this kind of person very much. The characteristics of the group are one thing, but evaluating a person If so, we can’t just use group standards.”

It's like our cub... he can't become a gentleman, it's also an individual development... - Andrea watched Ace running towards him, sighed melancholy, caught him and flew into her arms The little cub.

"I'm leaving, Rosinandi. Thank you for your help in redeeming the reward. I'll see you later."

【Twenty-seven】

From Andrea's point of view, this time was just a small episode.

She earned more money, and even used it to go to the Capital of Seven Waters to reinforce and renovate her ship, and then headed to the Shampoo Islands.

Because she had a clear goal, and because she felt that Ace was still small and some of the facilities in the Shampoo Islands were not fun to play with, she directly covered the ship with a clear purpose and then came to the Grand Line.

Andrea, who was traveling fast enough and without any sloppiness, naturally didn't know that there were actually many people in the Chambord Islands who were ambushing her or wanting to meet with her, but her collective wish failed because of her excessive speed.

Some of them want to fight Sword Demon - after all, they are said to be very strong;

I wanted to see what Sword Demon looked like - he was very strong and also said he was a beauty, but if I wanted to see beauty, I would go back to beauty. After I learned that Beauty and Hawkeye were a couple and had a child, I basically had nothing to do with it. other ideas;

There are also people who want to find out some information - this is another group of people.

In short, when this group of people learned that Andrea had arrived at the Chambord Islands, Andrea had already reached the second half of the Grand Line.

This year, Ace is three years old and Andrea is twenty.

After many twists and turns, the mother and son found the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates and boarded it.

Edward Newgate, who has a crescent-shaped white beard and is famous for being the strongest, nicknamed Whitebeard, lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him: "Little girl sword ghost, what do you want from me?"

Andrea grabbed little Ace by the collar, lifted him up and held him in her arms to prevent him from running around. Andrea couldn't help but fell silent - uh... it turned out to be this white whale.

It's unclear, but this white whale refers to the Moby-Dick (Moby-Dick), the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Now it doesn’t feel right to say “I’m sorry, there was a mistake and I bothered you”, right?
