"One Piece" ADAMAS

"The boy is healthy, but the girl... the twins may have this condition..." The doctor couldn't bear to say any more.

On the hospital bed, a woman with golden-pink hair was holding a pair of newborn twins tightly. The boy was sleeping peacefully, while the girl was breathing hard.

"This is me and his children..." The woman gently pressed against the children's soft faces, "If he calls her a girl, she calls her Ann, and if he calls a boy, he calls him Ace."

Suddenly the girl in her arms breathed weakly. She kissed the girl's forehead gently, and a tear appeared in the corner of her eyes: "Ann, human life is very tenacious, so my child, can you be stronger... …”

【do not die】

These were the last words the mother left to the twins. As a spiritual master, she gave her last life in exchange for her daughter's chance to live.

"Lujiu!" The mournful call and the baby's cry sounded at the same time.

The hibiscus flowers on the temples fell, and Lujiu's life came to an end.

Garp boarded the warship with the twins in his arms, and finally looked back at the island, sighing at the strength of his mother, and at the same time worried about the brothers and sisters who were destined to have a rough fate.

Kuzan never thought that he would adopt a daughter, let alone the daughter of the Pirate King, which would lead to today's situation. It was completely deceived by Garp, his most respected naval hero.

At that time, he was confused by the O'Hara incident and wavered in his justice for the first time.

Is true justice as extreme as Sakaski's? Absolutely impossible! Complete justice will only turn people into murderous weapons.

As a result, Kuzan's justice changed. He changed from burning justice to lazy justice, and his work attitude gradually became similar to that of his predecessor Porusalino.

"Lieutenant General Kuzan, why are you sleeping here again!?" Kuzan's adjutant lifted Kuzan's blindfold, "You have completely fallen!"

"Oh, it's Granny, is there anything important?" Kuzan deliberately emphasized the word "important" as if he was complaining that the adjutant disturbed his sleep.

Granny clenched her fists and wanted to get angry, but when her gaze touched those plain eyes, all her anger turned into a sigh: "There are several documents that you need to sign here."

Kuzan signed all the documents with a few strokes, then immediately took off his blindfold and went back to sleep.

Granny glanced at Kuzan worriedly. Kuzan has changed since the O'Hara incident, becoming increasingly distant and dull, making it increasingly difficult to tell what he is thinking.

"Granny!" Her friend Anna's call brought Granny back from her thoughts.

After glancing at Kuzan to confirm that he hadn't woken up, Granny ran towards Anna: "What's wrong?"

"Come with me quickly. Lieutenant General Garp has brought back a little baby. It's super cute! It has healed my social animal's heart. You must go and see it!" Anna covered her chest exaggeratedly.

"Eh? How did you know?" Granny was surprised. Anna was a civilian employee of the administrative office, and she usually had little interaction with front-line combatants like Lieutenant General Garp who were out all year round.

"The baby seemed to be sick, so Lieutenant General Garp brought him over to me to get a certificate. They are going to the naval hospital now." Anna pulled Granny and ran away without saying a word.

After the two left, Kuzan took off his blindfold. It's really strange for Mr. Karp to have a baby with him. Kuzan's curiosity was aroused. As soon as his two-meter-long legs took a step forward, he turned into the naval hospital.

Looking at the little guy who was still in the incubator, Kuzan felt very strange. It was the first time for him to see such a newborn baby up close. But this was too small. Kuzan stretched out his hand and gestured. This little guy seemed to be only as big as his palm. From what Anna said, the little guy didn't seem to be very healthy, and now it seems that is indeed the case.

Every time the little guy takes a breath, his little chest rises and falls with great difficulty. How fragile is new life. Kuzan put a finger in, trying to help the little guy calm down. He gently touched the baby's fragile body, and the delicate and soft touch made people's hearts soften unconsciously.

Kuzan wanted to touch it a few more times, but the little guy seemed to be woken up by him. His little mouth turned down, and he looked like he was about to cry. Kuzan instantly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

The expected cry did not come, but Kuzan's fingers were held by the little guy. The little guy blinked her big bright dark eyes, full of curiosity about the unknown world. She just stared at Kuzan, as if she had discovered something interesting, and immediately laughed.

The innocent smile instantly hit Kuzan's heart, and there was a softness in the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.

"Hey." The little guy made various sounds of unknown meaning and stretched out his hand to Kuzan, as if he wanted him to hug him.

"It seems that the little guy really likes you." Garp stood at the door, chewing senbei.

"Mr. Karp!" Kuzan was startled. He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice anyone coming.

"How's it going? Isn't it cute?" Garp nudged Kuzan with his elbow. He had seen the interaction between Kuzan and the little guy just now.

"Congratulations to Mr. Karp for becoming a grandfather." Kuzan withdrew his hand.

Garp smiled and didn't say anything. He walked closer to the incubator and stretched out his hand to tease the little guy. After leaving Kuzan's hand, the little guy immediately became unhappy and began to flutter. Kuzan turned to look at Garp helplessly.

"Then just give her a hug. It's okay to leave the incubator for a while."

Kuzan rubbed the finger that had just been touched by the little guy a few times, feeling a little unfinished, but looking at the little guy's small body, he still said slowly: "Forget it, I'm not good at this kind of thing."

Garp probably saw what he was thinking, and while he told him it was okay, he picked up the little guy who was only the size of a palm and handed it to him.

Kuzan hurriedly took it and held it carefully, his movements awkward and clumsy.

It's so amazing. The child in his arms is a small ball, so soft that it can make people feel happy and satisfied just by holding it. He finally understood the sense of healing Anna was talking about. This might be the charm of new life.

"I'm going to the East China Sea soon, so I'll leave this guy to you first." Garp said suddenly.

"What?" Kuzan has not yet been overwhelmed by the feeling of being a father.

"That's it. I'll come back as soon as I go. The little one will have to stay in the hospital for a while anyway, so why don't you come over and see her if you're fine." Garp patted Kuzan vigorously.

"What's the little guy's name?" Kuzan accepted his fate.

"Her father named her Ann."

Granny discovered that her boss had recently moved to another place and skipped work, and instead went to the hospital every day. Other familiar colleagues also discovered this and secretly came to her to ask if Kuzan was sick. She told the truth, but others seemed to be more convinced that Kuzan was really sick. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she skipped work that day and followed Kuzan to find out what he was doing. Then she saw a scene that shocked her.

Kuzan was holding a little baby in his arms, and his movements were so skillful that he had obviously practiced them many times. What surprised Granny even more was Kuzan's eyes. His eyes were usually cold and sharp, but now they were so gentle that people couldn't believe it.

"Since we're all here, why not come in, Granny." Kuzan said without raising his head.

Granny was even more shocked when she got closer and saw the little baby clearly. Isn't this the child that Lieutenant General Garp brought back some time ago? How could Kuzan be taking care of it? Is it possible?

Kuzan sighed: "Let me state in advance that she is not my illegitimate daughter. I am just helping Mr. Garp take care of her for a few days."

During the few days he was in the hospital, all the doctors and nurses passing by thought An was his child. Although he has explained it many times, unbelievers still make up the majority.

"The little guy is so cute." Granny stretched out her hand to hug her, "Is that okay?"

Kuzan glanced at Granny in embarrassment: "...Then you try it first."

And sure enough, the little guy burst into tears as soon as he left Kuzan's arms.

"Oh, darling, don't cry, don't cry..." Kuzan quickly hugged her back and coaxed her patiently.

"It seems that she is really clinging to you." Granny said with an expression on her face that said, "This is definitely your illegitimate daughter."

Kuzan covered his face in pain, unable to explain. Now he just hopes that Garp can come back soon, otherwise he will not be able to chat with the young ladies of Marinefando in the future.

Perhaps Kuzan's resentment took effect, and Garp came back that afternoon.

When Garp saw Kuzan holding the sleeping Ann, he suddenly made a decision in his heart: "Kuzan, how about you adopt her."

"!!!" Kuzan rarely showed such a shocked expression. After being surprised for a long time, he finally found his voice, "Isn't An your granddaughter?"

Then Karp said something that shocked him even more: "Ann is Roger's child."

Kuzan no longer knew what expression to put on. He once suspected that he had heard or understood wrongly, but Garp's expression was serious. Kuzan slowly moved his eyes to his arms. He suddenly felt that he was not holding a child but a time bomb that was about to explode at any time.

"The navy has been looking for Roger's bloodline before. They have almost searched the island. How could it be possible..."

"Her mother was very strong. In order to ensure that the child could be born safely, she was pregnant with An for 20 months. Finally, she died of exhaustion after giving birth to An."

Mothers are always great. Kuzan was filled with emotion. Then he suddenly remembered the current situation and inevitably got angry: "Are you kidding me? You want me to adopt the daughter of the Pirate King?"

"I just plan to give her to you. It's up to you to decide if you want to adopt her or hand her over to Sengoku and the others." After Garp finished speaking, he seemed to have finally solved a heavy burden and ate donuts in a relaxed manner.

Kuzan froze on the spot, extremely tangled in his heart. If it were him before, he would never be so embarrassed. He could just hand over the child and be done with it. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. But since the O'Hara incident, he has begun to question the correctness of the orders issued, thinking about whether absolute justice should have some human touch.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The little guy in his arms suddenly woke up and smiled at him.

Kuzan knew exactly what would happen to the child if he handed it over. In order to completely erase the existence of the Pirate King, the World Government will not let go of his bloodline, and launches an almost crazy pursuit. On that island in the South China Sea, hibiscus flowers were stained with the blood of many newborns and pregnant women. It is impossible to record these in official documents, and their existence will be completely erased by the world government.

But they are all innocent.

The child is also innocent, even though her biological father is Roger. No new life is born burdened with sin. New life means infinite possibilities. If she is kept in the navy... Kuzan suddenly understands Garp's intention.

"Mr. Karp, you are really scheming." Kuzan said with a wry smile.

"Don't you like her very much yourself?" Garp curled his lips, "And she also likes you very much. After not seeing you for a few days, she completely ignored me as a grandfather."

Kuzan stretched out his fingers to tease the little guy, who took it in his mouth and then blinked his big eyes, innocent and cute.

"That's because you didn't tell me her life story first." Kuzan said with no confidence.

"Oh, look, this little one is so weak. She may die one day. Just take care of her for a few days. It will be quick." Garp laughed and patted Kuzan on the shoulder.

"..." Kuzan sighed silently. Now he really had to confirm his identity as an illegitimate daughter. It seemed that he would not be able to easily date a beautiful young lady in the future.

As Karp said, Ann's body has always been very weak, which is probably the sequelae of being forcibly extended her birth date. Kuzan worried about this a lot, and running to the hospital was a common occurrence.

The little guy's body is indeed troublesome, but Kuzan has something more troublesome. Although he adopted An as if he accepted his fate, there was always a knot in his heart - she was the bloodline of the Pirate King, so he couldn't truly treat her as his own child, and there was always a sense of unreality.

One day, after Kuzan was woken up by his adjutant Granny as usual, he suddenly told Granny about his troubles for no reason.

Of course, he didn't say anything about An's life experience.

After thinking for a moment, Granny said, "Then give her a name."

"Her father has already given her a name." Kuzan was very puzzled.

"Since you have adopted her, then give her a name that belongs to you and her. As long as you give her a name, you will have feelings for her and you can never let go."

"Isn't this bad?" Although Kuzan felt that what Granny said was reasonable, the name was given by her biological parents after all.

"Can't you just choose a name for her now, tell her the truth later, and let her make her own choice?" Granny waved her hand.

"Okay, what should I call it?" Kuzan fell into a new worry.

"Compared to this, Lieutenant General Kuzan, please finish your work first!" Granny finally broke out.

"Ah la la...calm down..." Kuzan quickly took the document thrown over by Granny.

"I handed these documents to you the day before yesterday. Why haven't they been approved yet?"

"I'll approve it now!" Kuzan took several steps back in a cold sweat.

Kuzan took the pen and marked on the document quickly, but he was still thinking about Ann's new name. Then he saw a name starting with "A" - Arya, so he made a decision.

Garp didn't have any special reaction to Kuzan's move to change Ann's name. After hearing Kuzan's explanation, he just picked up the little guy with a smile and called "Little Arya", which was regarded as approval of the name.

As Granny said, after Kuzan named Arya, he finally had a sense of reality that the child really belonged to him.

Kuzan inexplicably became a daddy, busy taking care of little Arya. Although it is difficult to take care of a child, fortunately he has plenty of time to study. Isn’t there a legitimate reason to skip work? So Granny began to receive various reasons for asking for leave from Kuzan about Arya, and whenever Granny would explode, Kuzan would directly hug little Arya and face Granny. Looking at little Arya's cute smiling face, Granny would always let Kuzan go with a soft heart. Kuzan tried this trick repeatedly, and even Anna complained that Granny was being manipulated by the big one and the small one.

When little Arya came to Malinfando for her hundredth day, Kuzan planned to celebrate, so he left Arya in the care of Granny for one night while he turned around and walked into the bar street that he had not seen for a long time.

Perhaps little Arya was not used to being away from her familiar environment, so she suddenly developed a high fever late at night. Granny was helpless when faced with the crying little Arya. She wanted to contact Kuzan, but the phone bug could not get through. Finally, after Anna's reminder, she panicked and thought of sending the person to the hospital.

When Granny hurriedly sent her child to the hospital to wait for the doctor, she happened to meet her former boss, Lieutenant General Porusalino. She used to be Porusalino's adjutant, but Polusalino was promoted and transferred to the G2 base two years ago. However, because of strong opposition from her family, she stayed in Marineland and did not go with him, and then she became Kuzan's adjutant.

"Yeah~ What a coincidence, Miss Granny." Porusalino looked at the child in Granny's arms and said slightly surprised, "When did you get married and become a mother?"

"This is not my child. Lieutenant General Kuzan asked me to take care of her." Granny said subconsciously.

This time Porusalino was even more surprised, and even his eyes that were always bent slightly opened slightly. He looked at little Arya carefully, and finally came to the conclusion: "The mother of this child must be a great beauty." Otherwise, how could Kuzan have given birth to such a cute child.

"Ah, no, Arya is not Kuzan's illegitimate daughter, she was adopted by Kuzan." Granny reacted and hurriedly explained.

"Oh~" Porusalino smiled inexplicably.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Little Arya suddenly started crying again, her face was red, and she was out of breath from crying, so pitiful.

Granny hurriedly coaxed her: "Hey, darling, just see a doctor right away and you'll be fine."

But little Arya didn't buy her account and continued to cry pitifully.

"Let me try." Porusalino suddenly stretched out his hand.

Granny hesitated, after all, Porusalino's face was too impactful, but in the end she handed Alya over.

"Little one, you have to be good~" Porusalino patted Arya's back gently.

Arya stopped crying, stared at Porusalino with her big round bright eyes, and then shouted vaguely: "Papa~"

"Yeah~ little guy, do you recognize me as Kuzan?" Porusalino suddenly became very good.

"This should be the first time Arya calls daddy." Granny said in shock. She had heard Kuzan say that he was teaching Arya to call daddy recently, but the effect didn't seem to be very good. As a result, Arya was the first The first time he met Porusalino, he called him papa. I don’t know what Kuzan’s reaction would be when he found out.

"What an honor." Porusalino smiled even more happily.

"Mr. Porusalino, why are you still in the hospital so late?" Granny suddenly remembered.

"Ah, I was injured not long ago, so I wanted to take a closer look when I came back to report on my work this time, but it turned out that it was so late to finish the matter."

"You have a busy schedule, please take care of yourself, Mr. Porusalino."

"Miss Granny is really as gentle as ever." Porusalino narrowed his eyes.

The two chatted for a while, and the doctor finally called Arya's name. After seeing the doctor, when Granny carried Arya to get medicine and intravenous drip, Porusalino had already left.

After losing half a bottle of fluid, Kuzan finally arrived at the hospital smelling of alcohol. He ran in anxiously, wanting to see Arya's condition.

"Wow, you smell like alcohol, stay away from us. I finally managed to get the little guy to sleep." Granny hugged Arya and stepped back.

Kuzan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry to trouble you today."

"You go home quickly and change your clothes before you come back. I'll stay here to guard you."

Kuzan hesitated.

Granny knew what he was hesitating about and sighed: "I really like Arya to help you like this. Don't be burdened. If you really feel bad about it, then don't skip work less in the future."

After hearing this, Kuzan no longer hesitated, thanked him a few times and hurried home.

After hearing from Granny that Arya called Porusalino daddy, Kuzan gritted his teeth and taught Arya to call him by her name, but was stopped by Granny with a punch: "Don't be outdone. It’s so hard for a newborn baby!”

Kuzan had been grudged about this for a long time. He had been teaching Arya for so long, but the little one actually called someone else daddy for the first time. So when Arya called him daddy softly and sweetly later, even though he was very cute in his heart, he still seriously corrected Arya for calling him by his name. At the same time he also targeted Porusalino for quite some time.
