Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"I am also a victim. Is this all the world's fault?"

Wuta repeated Bai Ye's words in a low voice.

"That's right, Miss Uta."

Bai Ye shrugged and said, "In fact, I don't think you did anything wrong at all. You are just an innocent victim in this whole thing."

"But..." Uta wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Ye.

"No buts." Bai Ye's eyes became serious. "Ms. Uta, you have to believe in your feelings. The pain you are experiencing is not your fault. If you must blame someone, then blame the world."

Wuta was silent for a moment, and finally nodded gently. Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled and patted Wuta's shoulder.

But then, Bai Ye changed the subject and said:

"Of course, complaining about the world is too vague. If you really want to find someone to be responsible, I might be able to give you a reference."

"Who?" Wuta looked up at Bai Ye, then reacted and said, "You're not going to say..."

Before Wuta finished speaking, Bai Ye nodded with an approving look and said, "It seems that we think the same thing. If we must find a culprit for everything that you have experienced, Miss Wuta, there will be only one answer, and that is your father——"

"The current pirate emperor - Red Hair Shanks."

Uta widened his eyes and looked at Bai Ye in disbelief.

"How could it be..." Uta's voice was trembling, "I mean, I can't..."

Bai Ye sighed and said softly: "Ms. Uta, sometimes the truth is so cruel. However, this may be the beginning of your relief."

Uta bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

Memories of the past come to mind.

When the resentment disappeared, the beauty buried deep in her heart once again occupied Uta's heart.

"I have no reason..." Uta's heart was full of contradictions and pain.

Bai Ye spread his hands and said loudly in an exaggerated manner:

"Ms. Uta, please don't use your excessive kindness at this time. No reason? How can there be no reason?"

"Shanks is your father. Not just any father, but a famous pirate in this sea!"

"He had the power and the wealth. He could have avoided everything. But what did he do when you encountered something like that?"

"I abandoned you without a word!"

"To be honest, this kind of self-admiration filled with machismo and romance is really unreasonable to me."

"That's not the case," Uta retorted subconsciously: "Shanks didn't abandon me, he did it for my own good."

"That's abandonment, abandonment of a minor child!" Bai Ye insisted on his point of view: "Besides, it's for your own good? If you really lived well after that, we wouldn't be here."

Uta shook his head, "Shanks didn't want me to know the truth. He left to help me take the blame for destroying the island."

"Taking you with him still won't affect him taking responsibility for your crime, as long as he is your father and loves you enough."

"Shanks doesn't want me to be a wanted criminal."

"Heh, he himself is a pirate with a bounty on his head by the government, so why would he be afraid that you'll be wanted?"

"Shanks wants to..." Uta started to argue, but her mind was blank and she couldn't think of any more reasons.

Seeing this, Bai Ye squatted down and handed the tissue to Wuta:

"I know his position in your heart. He is not only your father, but also the pirate captain you admire."

"But Miss Uta, have you ever thought that it was your admiration for him and your forced obedience to his patriarchy that caused you so much pain in the beginning?"

"You never thought about being abandoned, but you dare not question his action of abandoning you, because you find that he seems to be doing it for your own good."

"It is this kind of mood that causes you to be shocked and even develop mental illnesses such as multiple personality disorders."

Bai Ye sighed deeply, and his tone became gentle again.

“Even parents make mistakes sometimes.”

"Especially when facing children whose minds are not yet mature, even the kindest parents will subconsciously use their authority to make their children obey."

"Just like what you experienced, Ms. Uta, everything Shanks did was a decision he made on his own."

"He thinks you should stay and they should leave. He thinks taking the blame for you is a way of protecting you. He thinks everything he does is for your own good."

"But he never communicated with you seriously, never listened to your ideas seriously. He just thought you were still a child and couldn't listen to your childish ideas. You just had to follow his arrangements."

Bai Ye did not give Wuta a chance to interrupt. He stood up and looked behind Wuta:

"Most mental illnesses occur in childhood and are inherited from their parents. Parents may not have this intention, but some of their behaviors can still cause far-reaching and even indelible harm to their children."

"Ah, that's why I say that being a parent is not that easy."

"What do you think, Lord Shanks?"

"Shanks?!!" Uta suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned in the direction Bai Ye was looking.

One after another, familiar figures walked out from the boulders.

All members of the Red Hair Pirates are here!

The tall figure standing in the front is none other than the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of 40 Baileys.

【Red Hair】 Shanks.

Uta thought that when she saw Shanks and the others whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she should have burst into tears and thrown herself into their arms.

But at this moment, Uta found himself subconsciously taking half a step back.

Is it fear? Or some other reason?

Uta's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking. Because of this, he did not notice the complicated expressions on the faces of all the members of the Red Hair Pirates.

Especially Shanks' face, which was a mixture of guilt and embarrassment.

After seeing Uta take half a step back, the embarrassment on his face turned into deeper guilt.

He took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mood.

This was quite funny, considering that he was the Pirate Emperor, a man who could remain calm even in the face of the Navy Admirals.

But now, he looked at a loss when facing his daughter.

Ben Beckman on the side sighed and shifted his gaze to Bai Ye.

After observing quietly for a few seconds, Beckman took out the cigar from his mouth and nodded:

"Nice to meet you, [Tianshi] Bai Ye."

"The captain is in a complicated mood right now, so I will convey his message to him first."

Beckman bowed slightly, and several people behind him followed his movements silently.

"Thank you so much for taking care of our daughter."
