Pirates: Approaching Science

As dusk approached, in the family area outside the Navy Headquarters building, all kinds of women, old and young, dressed in simple clothes, gathered lively.

At a roadside stall, a smart debate was taking place.

"Hey, old man. Didn't you pay back 40 Baileys yesterday? Why have you grown so much now? You can't be evil in business."

"Oh, look what you said, my rabbit came from the Grand Line! My son brought it back to me specially. Isn't this a litter of cubs that was born recently? I thought that as a lonely old man, I really have limited energy, so I Won't it be sold? After all, it is my son's heart, don't you think so?"

"Didn't I understand the market yesterday? Last night, my son came back and told me that the rabbit was a rare thing. It is said that it has the blood of the fur tribe from his ancestors. If he sold it, he would get tens of thousands of beli. We also You can’t sell it cheap, can you?”

The woman had her hair tied back in braids and was dressed simply. She wore a brown-red short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body and a pair of jet-black long pants. She looked really smart and capable.

A pretty face that seemed to be thinking about something.

Standing at the woman's feet was a little boy. The boy had a lollipop in his mouth. He was wearing an old, worn-out brown cap on his head, with the word justice written on his chest. He looked like an innocent child who longed for justice in the navy.

The little boy timidly pulled the corner of the woman's clothes and looked at his mother longingly. Then his big, watery eyes revealed his love for the big white rabbit in the grandfather's cage.

The woman looked down at her son, understanding what her son had done. She looked up at the white rabbit in the cage, feeling unbearable.

At this time, Garp happened to be passing by and saw the woman clutching the banknotes in her hands and refusing to let go. She looked embarrassed and understood.

"Aren't these siblings? How come you have time to go shopping with your son?" Garp rubbed his head through the little boy's hat and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this the Moonlight Rabbit? It is said to be a mysterious race from the Ivory Mountains. I heard that we were related to the fur tribe in ancient times.”

As soon as the old man heard Karp's explanation, he quickly waved his hands to show that he had not deceived the customers. He spread his hands and said, "Look, our old man has been honest all his life. How can he lie to others? Did you listen to what this gentleman said? This rabbit can It's still a treasure. You said that if it was an ordinary rabbit, how could I dare to sell it at this price? Making money at the feet of the Navy Headquarters is still a human thing. Which of the residents living here is not a family member of a naval hero! Who are we kidding? You can’t lie to your own people either!”

Alison looked at the honest old man in front of her and nodded helplessly.

That being said, how can a blue-eyed snowshoe rabbit be worth such a high price as 1000 Baileys?

You must know that even Chopper in later generations is only worth 50 Baileys, even for such a mythical beast, let alone this little rabbit in front of him.

But who would like this child of hers? Alison looked helplessly at her shy son.

My man doesn't come home every day, and he has to go to war every now and then. He can't be affectionate with his son all year round. He falls asleep every day when he comes home, and he doesn't have any private time at all.

Forced to have no choice, Alison could only painfully take out a dozen dollars from her purse, add them to the original banknotes in her hand, and give exactly 1000 beli to the old man in exchange for the cage.

Alison glared at Garp fiercely. If this bastard hadn't come to disrupt the situation, she would have just fooled her son and passed away, so she wouldn't have spent the wrong money.

Garp was stared at incomprehensibly. He was kind enough to see her look confused and came to help identify her so that she wouldn't be deceived. She didn't appreciate him and just gave up. What does this vicious little white eye mean?

Alison looked at Garp coldly, then took her son and prepared to go home.

Garp stretched out his hand from behind and asked loudly: "Oh! Brothers and sisters, what do you mean?"

Alison stopped when she heard the sound, turned around with a "hum" and said, "You still have the nerve to ask. Let me ask you, it was not easy for Zefa to get off work early a few days ago. Did you insist on my Zefa asking for it?" I went to drink with the promise of going home to spend time with my children, but it’s all because of you!”

When Garp heard that it was related to this matter, he was embarrassed.

The more Alisan talked about it, the angrier she got: "Zefa smelled of alcohol when he came back, and he fell asleep when he got home in the middle of the night. When Zefa woke up and explained to me, he said that you were originally sent by Marshal Kong to encircle and suppress the sea. What a thief, but before leaving, you forced him to drink, and said that the future was uncertain, life and death were uncertain, and since he was a brother, he must come! Zefa was forced to listen to your lies."

"When did millions of little pirates have to ask you, Lieutenant General Garp, to treat them with such caution?"

After speaking, Alisan's tone softened and she begged: "Mr. Garp, I beg you, please don't catch my Zefa all the time. Find someone else."

Garp felt embarrassed when he heard Alison vomiting her bitterness.

Alison wasn't the kind of person who pursued her son relentlessly. Seeing that Garp was speechless, and regardless of whether Garp heard it or not, she turned around and took her son home.

Poor Garp finally got off the boat and felt relieved. In the blink of an eye, he saw the wife of his former good friend. He wanted to go over and help, but his conscience persuaded him not to do so.

Garp watched Alisan and her son leaving in silence, feeling secretly frustrated.

The original idea of ​​​​discussing countermeasures with Zefa also came to nothing.

It seems that I still have to face the "golden shining" torture alone.

Garp looked up at the sky and wished he could roar.

A lonely figure walked aimlessly on the street, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.

When he was frustrated, Karp saw a new store at a corner.

"Penguin Leisure Internet Cafe" Garp raised his head and said word by word.
