However, the two cubs, who were obviously immersed in the excitement, forgot to ask Qian Xia the most important question - who is the father of the child in his belly.

The last time Ace saw Shanks was before he was three years old, he naturally had no impression, let alone Sabo, although he was a curious child, but the etiquette of the nobles made him not take the initiative to ask about this. Adults would not mention these things in front of them, so Qian Xia naturally didn't think about it.

If they didn't ask, she wouldn't specifically talk about it.

Although she knew this exciting news, Chinatown didn't plan to tell Shanks now, she wanted to pick a special time to tell him the news.

Satisfy her little sense of ritual.

As for the only two little insiders, it goes without saying that Qian Xia will keep their mouths shut, and they don't have anyone else to share with them, they just started to be [-]% vigilant against Qian Xia in their daily life, No matter what she did, the two little guys would stare at her nervously, which made Qianxia feel relieved and amused.

I spent a pleasant afternoon and evening with the two of them, thinking that she might not leave in the near future, Ace also had a spare key to her house, Qian Xia made breakfast for them the next day and went out, while the two A little boy also went up the mountain after eating.

After Qianxia went around the village to buy some necessities and put them away, when she came to Makino's tavern, she heard the noise inside. She was surprised to see that the wooden door of the tavern was kicked away, and Qianxia left go in.

"The boss is really being bullied so badly!"

"It's really embarrassing!"

"Hahaha……"

"What's so embarrassing?" "How can you still laugh!"

The gentle and flat female voice mixed with the exasperated child's voice, causing the noise in the tavern to stop abruptly.

The members of the red-haired pirates all looked at the smiling woman at the door, swallowed secretly, then turned around pretending nothing happened and continued to drink and eat meat.

"what happened?"

The strange woman who came in suddenly interrupted the indignation in Luffy's heart, but it didn't affect him to continue to play. Just when he was clenching his small fist and preparing to question Shanks and the others, Shanks covered his mouth with his hand.

"Ah~ Qianxia, ​​you're back!"

"Yo, Miss Qianxia!"

"Miss Qianxia couldn't sleep last night without the boss!"

Looking at Shanks sitting on the bar, and the wine stains on his body, Makino who was wiping the wine for him also looked at her with her mouth open but not speaking, and the pirates bluntly changing the subject, Qian Xia smiled lightly.

What's the trouble?

"Tell me what's the matter, and who is this child?"

The black-haired little boy whose mouth was covered by Shanks was about five or six years old, wearing short-sleeved shorts and struggling fiercely in Shanks' hands, reminding Chinatown of Ace when he was a child.

"Oh! This is Luffy! Very interesting kid, you should know!"

Seeing that Qian Xia was distracted by Luffy and didn't continue to ask, Shanks was relieved.

"Don't grab me, Shanks!"

Little Luffy was still struggling, Shanks pulled him and whispered something in his ear, Luffy suddenly stopped struggling, but climbed back on the chair angrily and stopped talking to Shanks them.

"Luffy?"

Qianxia didn't expect Shanks to get acquainted with Senior Garp's grandson just after she left.

She gave a soft cry, and the little boy turned around with his arms around his chest, still frowning angrily, the appearance of a little adult made Qianxia couldn't help but go up and touch the top of his hair.

"who are you?"

"My name is Qianxia, ​​and I'm an acquaintance of your grandfather."

"grandfather?"

Unexpectedly, the woman Shanks liked would be his grandfather's friend, and Luffy's round eyes widened.

"Are you a navy?"

"No, I'm a pirate now."

"Sure enough, pirates are more powerful!"

Hearing Qianxia's answer, little Luffy's eyes became bright again, but he seemed to think of something, glared at Shanks and turned around again.

"Let me do it."

Taking the dry towel from Makino's hand, Qianxia nodded to her. Makino looked at Qianxia and Shanks worriedly, and then went to get other cleaning tools.

Mr. Shanks should teach Miss Qian Xia a lesson...

"Tell me, what did you do to other children?"

Qian Xia moved her fingers, and all the wine on Shanks' body dried up, leaving only the light yellow wine stains on it, Qian Xia thought that she had to wash her clothes again.

"No, no, it was a joke, it was accidentally knocked over."

Shanks looked at Qian Xia with a flattering face, took her hand and stood up, then let her sit in her seat, blinking her eyes obediently.

"is it?"

But judging by everyone's reaction, it might not be a big deal, so Qian Xia will not ask any more questions.

"Is little Ace okay?"

"Still as vibrant as ever."

Qian Xia touched her lower abdomen reflexively, and then answered Shanks' question with a smile.

"That's good...hey! Luffy! What are you eating!"

Shanks just focused on Qian Xia for a short while, before he noticed her small movements, he suddenly saw Luffy pick up the things in the box he brought and eat, and stood up quickly.

"Is that the box? Did you eat the contents of that box?!"

Startled by Shanks' sudden anxiety and seriousness, the six-year-old Luffy sat on the stool and froze for a while without answering.

"Spit it out! Spit it out right now! Spit out everything you eat!"

"What are you doing, Shanks!"

Shanks grabbed Luffy and threw it upside down. Qian Xia was about to reach out to stop him, when he saw the ordinary boy who was quite normal suddenly stretched his legs, hanging on Shanks' hand and smashing towards the floor. It passed, bounced on the ground, and then retracted.

"..."

Qian Xia's outstretched hand froze in the air, she stared at the half blue-purple Devil Fruit left in the box on the table.

It was found by Shanks and the others in the North Sea by accident. They brought it back and planned to eat it or sell it to anyone on the ship, but unexpectedly...

"Shanks! How can you put this kind of thing in such a place! It was eaten by Luffy!"

As a witness to everything, how will she go to see Senior Garp in the future!

"Just now... what happened?"

Luffy, who hit his face on the ground, was stunned, and was grabbed by Shanks and asked in a daze.

"What you eat is rubber fruit. Rubber fruit is also called devil fruit. After eating it, your whole body will turn into rubber, and you will be unable to swim for the rest of your life!"

Shanks raised Luffy a bit and said loudly.

Except for Luffy who was stunned, the pirates and Makino in the tavern were all stunned when they heard Shanks' words.

Of course, the pirates were eaten by Luffy because of the devil fruit.

"Hey?! It's a lie!"

"Stupid stuff!"

Luffy yelled with a crying voice, and Shanks yelled at Luffy helplessly. Chinatown clenched her fist and punched Shanks on the head.

"Hmm... Qian Xia, why are you hitting me?" Shanks QAQ.

"It's all your fault!" Qian Xia hugged Xiao Lu Fei and gave Shanks a look.

After this, who can rest assured that he will take care of the child!

Coaxing Luffy, who was about to cry, Qianxia stopped talking to Shanks, hugged Luffy and walked out. Shanks wanted to catch up, but was frightened by Qianxia's cool look and stayed where he was.

How can a daughter-in-law like children more than herself! QAQ Fortunately, Xiao Luffy, who has the same big heart as his grandfather, quickly forgot all this when Qian Xia took him to buy candy, and didn't think it was a big deal that he became a rubber man.

Qian Xia took out the phone bug on her waist, thought about it and put it down.

Forget it, if you tell Mr. Karp, nothing will change.

"Thank you, sister Qianxia."

"You should call me auntie, little Luffy, but auntie is also fine."

"aunt?"

"Well, I have several godsons who are not much older than you."

"Then I want to be my godson too! For the sake of buying me candy!"

"Hahaha, little Luffy is really interesting."

Sitting under a certain big tree in the village, Qian Xia touched the top of Xiao Luffy's hair again.

Like Ace's soft and fine hair, it feels so good.

"Can Luffy tell me what happened in the tavern today?"

"Hmm... click, click, click."

Hearing Qian Xia mention this, Lu Fei seemed to be on fire again, gnawing the lollipop in his hand viciously, explaining to Qian Xia.

"Those hateful bandits..."

Seeing Lu Fei excitedly stretching out his hands and gesticulating while telling what happened in the tavern just now, Qian Xia nodded in understanding.

"Then they've gone too far."

"That's right! Shanks said nothing!"

"But Luffy, if Shanks fights with them, there is a possibility of hurting you and Makino, and even if they have a duel with the bandits today, when they leave Windmill Village What if bandits come to trouble you again?"

Qian Xia gently touched the rubbery little Luffy's face, and said to him.

"For real pirates, the most important thing is to protect your companions."

"Well……"

"And Luffy likes Shanks very much, so please forgive him."

"Well, Shanks is a good guy, I trust him!"

It's still easy to coax a child, Qian Xia thought with a straight face, now she can't coax Ace anymore.

Playing with little Luffy all afternoon, Qianxia sent him back to Makino's place at dinner time. Fortunately, I heard that Garp has released Luffy in Windmill Village and will not come back soon, otherwise if Garp Knowing that Sshanks turned Luffy into a rubber man, then they probably won't be able to return to the new world, and the ship will sink directly in the East China Sea.

In the evening, Ace used the phone bug to tell Qianxia that he and Sabo would not go down the mountain tonight, and she didn't have to take care of the two children, so she went back to the pirate ship.

"Qianxia~"

Shanks, who was sitting among the crew, saw Qianxia who had just boarded the boat with sharp eyes, put down the wine in his hand, and followed in a hurry.

"The captain is really hopeless."

"Only Miss Qianxia can bear him."

Even without the captain, it does not affect the happy time of the crew of the Red Hair Pirates.

"Why are you back today?"

Holding Qian Xia's waist, Shanks smiled foolishly, Qian Xia put his index finger on his forehead, not letting him get any closer.

"It smells like alcohol, it stinks to death."

"Then I'll take a shower! Together!"

"I reject."

It was a rare day that I started to feel sleepy after not moving much. Before Shanks came out from the bathroom, Qianxia, ​​who was sitting on the bed, fell asleep in a daze. By then, Qian Xia was already fast asleep.

"It's really... you don't wait for me."

Shanks hugged Qianxia to the bed, hugged her and got into the quilt, he could only rub her neck and fell asleep.

His daughter-in-law is asleep, what else can he do.

On the second day, Shanks and the others disembarked to purchase supplies, while Chinatown stayed on the boat alone to bask in the sun.

Today's weather is also an endless blue sky, with warm sunlight shining on her body, Qian Xia squinted her eyes happily.

Rubbing her belly, thinking about whether to boil some soup for nourishing the fetus, Qianxia stood up on the reclining chair, and when she just took the first step, she suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness, her eyes suddenly went black, Qian Xia supported the reclining chair to stabilize her body, and stroked her aching chest.

Shanks had an accident.

When this conclusion was reflected in her mind, Qian Xia had already stepped on the sea and rushed out, so anxious that she even forgot to use Flying Thunder God.

The curse mark she placed on him will only be reflected on her body when encountering an important Shanghai that is life-threatening, and a small injury that only hurt the eyelid like last time will not have a big reaction.

So, something happened to Shanks right before her eyes.

"Shanks!"

The huge Neptune passed in front of her, and she could only vaguely see the red color and the smell of blood in the air.

Qian Xia only felt a rush of blood in her brain, but she still reacted quickly and threw the huge Fuma Shuriken, which penetrated the head of the sea king in a whirl.

The eel-like Neptune fell into the sea in an instant, dyeing a large area of ​​water red.

"Shanks! Luffy!"

When Qianxia ran over, she only saw the back of Shanks holding Luffy, the empty sleeve on Shanks' left side and the blood gushing out.

"Ah... Qian Xia..."

Shanks hugged Luffy who couldn't swim after eating the devil fruit, his face was a little pale, and he turned sideways but couldn't stop Chinatown from looking at his left arm.

It seems that he didn't keep his promise again, I hope Qianxia won't be too angry this time.

"Don't talk now." Qianxia took a deep breath, resisting the nausea caused by the smell of blood, took off her coat and wrapped it tightly around Shanks' broken arm, then touched Luffy's shoulder, Transfer him to the shore with Flying Thunder God, then reach out to pick up Shanks, put his arms around his waist to avoid touching his left wound, step on the water and teleport to the Red Forth.

The cadres who sensed that something was wrong only saw Qianxia who disappeared with Shanks and Luffy who suddenly appeared next to them and started crying, and hurried towards the direction of the pirate ship.

"Rawls!"

The ship doctor only saw two men whose clothes were dyed red rushed into the infirmary, and he hurriedly followed.

"This is……"

Seeing Shanks' appearance, even Rawls, who had been with Shanks for many years, was taken aback. Seeing that Qianxia, ​​who was stained with Shanks' blood, took out various medical tools, he hurried up help.

"Go prepare the XF crew to come over for a blood transfusion, don't come in until I let you in."

"Ah... good good."

Rawls exited the medical room listening to Qian Xia's words, then closed the door, and hurriedly went to the ship to gather the crew members with the same blood type as Shanks.

Shanks was a little unconscious after relaxing on the bed, Qianxia thought about it, and stuck a chakra needle into his acupuncture point, making him fall asleep.

"..."

It seems that there is only one way to do it.

Time passed for a long time, or the crew members guarding the door were too fidgety. When Qianxia came out, they all rushed over nervously, but Qianxia didn't explain anything to them. It was just that the ship doctor Rawls advanced into the medical room and closed the door.

"Boss is okay."

"Didn't Luffy say that his arm was bitten off by sea kings?"

"It should be fine with Qianxia here."

"..."

The crew who were discussing in low voices looked at the few cadres who did not speak, and seemed a little at a loss.

"Let's leave first, it's okay, we still have Qianxia after all, we have to trust her and the captain."

As the second-in-command, the vice-captain Ben Beckman was the only one who could take charge of the overall situation. He drove away the crew members who were all around the door of the medical room, and stopped talking with a cigarette in his mouth.

But even with Chinatsu, Shanks' left arm...

"How about Rawls?"

Another hour or two passed, and the ship doctor who came out again was surrounded by tense cadres, watching him look a little tired, and everyone was waiting for him to speak.

"Don't worry, Shanks is fine."

"Then his left hand..."

"The left hand is fine, although I don't know what Qianxia did." Although Rawls looked tired, the excitement and excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. Hearing this, the cadres were also relieved.

"That's good."

"As expected of Miss Qianxia."

"What about now, can't we go in?"

"It should be ready in a while, but Qian Xia's condition doesn't look very good, don't ask any more questions when she comes out, she needs to rest."

Rolls thought that something was wrong with Qianxia, ​​and added.

Qianxia in the room looked at Shanks lying on the bed who once again had his left arm and had been wrapped in bandages. His crimson eyes were unexpectedly dimmed in the face of his lover who was intact again. After Rawls went out, , the cheeks that were originally full of vitality are also slightly sunken, looking a little sickly and unnatural, and the whole person looks a lot older.

As if she had made some determination, she wiped his cheeks clean, then comforted him softly with special affection, then slowly leaned down and kissed his lips.

If Shanks could wake up now, he would see farewell in her eyes.

It seems that the news of the child can only be told later.

"Come in."

The flat female voice seemed to have no other emotions except exhaustion. Beckman outside took the lead in attaching the doorknob. When he opened the door, the cadres only saw the empty medical room and the captain lying on the bed, not the original man. The figure of the woman who should be here.

Beckman felt that something seemed to be getting worse.

The author has something to say: I found out that I am a cruel and incompetent player, and the things in my mind change as soon as I write it hhh So, I probably won’t be as cruel as I thought at first (right)

But there is still a ten-year separation~ I probably covered it in one chapter~

I'm still a serious sweet writer [serious face]
