One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 120 Uncle and Girl, Roger also wants to fall in love.

The conversation in the main cabin continued until dinner time in the evening.

Garp ate his meal with a sad face and looked unhappy, but Ross could use his observation Haki to feel the happiness and pride in the other person's heart.

Ross did not listen to the conversation between the two.

In the original work, Garp is such a person. Although Long defected from the navy, he has always kept in touch with Garp and their relationship is quite good. Garp himself is well aware of many of his early plans.

We can't even rule out the possibility that Garp secretly helped. Except for some individual cases, there has never been any discord between father and son.

Long's face looked calm, but his inner joy was almost beyond words, and he ate much faster than usual.

Ross often lamented that his Observation Haki was so convenient, it was simply a magic weapon for those in power and manipulators.

If it were an ordinary person, they might just think that something unpleasant happened between this father and son.

"Rose, I'll trouble you to take care of my dragon from now on. If you need any help in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you."

That night, Cap sneaked into the single bedroom where Ross was resting, which was specially prepared for officers of colonel rank and above on the warship.

Ross had long guessed that Cap would come to see him, and had been sitting at the desk nearby waiting for a long time.

Hearing Garp's thanks, he closed the newspaper and said with a smile:
"Nothing. He is my student now and will be in the future. I am optimistic about his future, so I should help him if necessary."

"You sound a little distant, I don't like hearing it!"

"You can't help it if you don't like it. You and I have known each other for such a long time, so you should understand my way of speaking. Besides, isn't that how you treat Long?"

"Azhe...Ahahaha."

Cap laughed to ease the awkwardness.

Yes, Ross's words were indeed a bit inhumane, but so were his actions towards Long. To put it more seriously, he was not even worthy of the word "father".

The two chatted all night and ended the conversation just as dawn broke.

Karp left contentedly, and only the two of them knew what they talked about.

...............

three days later.

Cloud Island.

Having not made much progress in the past few days, Rayleigh wanted to give up. He even met with Tokos, the butler of the Nasdaq family, but to no avail.

The other party's rhetoric skills were obviously better than mine, which made it impossible for me to express my true purpose several times, and the conversation ended abruptly.

"It's okay, Rayleigh. You've done enough. I believe that the island owner Ross should have known about our actions a long time ago. Now we just need to wait."

Roger saw his deputy's behavior these days and was deeply moved.

He did not feel any resentment towards Ross, thinking that the other party did not give him face.

Firstly, it is because he himself is relatively moral, which can be seen from the attitude he treats his partners.

Secondly, he needed help from others after all.

Thirdly, Ross was not on Cloud Island, so even if he wanted to come back, it would take time.

Now they just need to wait quietly. If Ross is willing to see him, he will come to Cloud Island within two weeks.

If it exceeds this time, it means that the other party has guessed what you want to ask, and no matter what the considerations are, he will not meet with you.

"Well, I should relax for a few days. There are so many places to visit in Cloud Island. Perhaps only the Sabaody Archipelago can compare to it."

Rayleigh nodded, then sighed.

Yun Island's land area is huge, and the construction cost is really very low after all, but farming is more troublesome.

There is a small cloud island on one side of the cloud island, connected by a cloud bridge. Above it is a normal island that was artificially migrated. It is the only place where crops can be grown.

"Indeed, it has gathered all the fun features of the four seas. When our adventure is over, if nothing unexpected happens and we have time, I plan to spend the last moments here."

Roger also expressed his feelings and told us his general plan.

I just don’t know whether the island owner will agree. After all, his identity is very sensitive and it is possible that he will be expelled.

"Let's talk about it later. I don't know how Xia Qi is doing. I still miss her after such a long time."

Rayleigh obviously didn't intend to talk more about this kind of thing, so he quickly changed the subject and brought the conversation to what men liked most.

Beauty!

"Ahahaha! If you ask me, why didn't you just lure Xia Qi to our ship? It's not a manly behavior to flirt with someone and then run away, Rayleigh!"

Roger laughed and put his arm around Rayleigh's shoulders.

Xia Qi is an official member of the former Rocks Pirates. She joined the group only a short time ago and has incredible intelligence capabilities. She is also a capable subordinate of "Fire Flower".

Moreover, the other party has already reached the other side at a young age, which a steel plate will never be able to reach in his lifetime.

Reilly had a very brief affair with the other party. There was a big age difference between them. It was a relationship between a 30-year-old man and a young girl who had just entered college.

After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, it was said that he went to Nine Snake Island with "Flame Flower" and disappeared.

Although this relationship was short, Rayleigh still had a deep memory of it. After all, it was really exciting to flirt and then run away. "Hey, isn't it because I'm afraid of getting her into trouble? After all, I'm a big pirate. Who knows that Xia Qi is also related to the Rocks Pirates? If I knew, I wouldn't let her get away."

Rayleigh replied with dignity.

He was very regretful at the time, but he didn't know if they could rekindle their old love when they met again.

Just don't dislike him.

"Let's talk about you. As a captain, how come you are still single when even your deputy is in a relationship? When will you give us a little captain?"

"Pah! It's still early, let me reach the final island first!"

Faced with the teasing of his friends, Roger confidently responded with his own dreams and ideals.

At the same time, he couldn't help but start thinking about this matter.

He is not a child anymore, and it is time to find love of his own. As a pirate, he has never even touched a woman, while some crew members on the ship are very promiscuous.

What a failure, not at all what a pirate should be like.

I don't know why, he had no interest in women before. It was only after he met Shanks and Buggy that he gradually began to have feelings for them.

He didn't know what it felt like, like, wanting to be a father?
"Captain! Ross and Garp have come to Cloud Island together. What should we do now? Should we just run away?"

Suddenly, a crew member of Roger's pirate group slowly walked over and reported the situation in a relaxed tone without any worry at all.

Roger looked up when he heard that, his eyes seemed to burst into light, he jumped in front of the crew member, put his hands on his shoulders, and said in an uncertain tone:

"Are they really coming?"

"Here comes the Captain! We all saw him!"

"Great, take me there now!"

Without any hesitation, Roger grabbed the crew and ran out immediately, leaving Rayleigh standing there with his hand on his forehead.

This captain is so rash. He is already this age but he is like a teenager who has not grown up. He becomes anxious when encountering exciting and happy things.

However, it is precisely because of this that their Roger Pirates have the indestructible "gold, silver and bronze" iron triangle.

Shaking his head, Rayleigh stood up and followed.

He will still need to assist in some of the following conversations, and Roger must not be allowed to suffer any loss.

Just as Roger and others rushed over, on the other side.

Ross, Cap and others slowly walked down from the warship.

There was no need for a grand welcome this time he returned, after all, he was just here to take care of some things, so he did not inform his family.

Only Tokos came here to guide them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tokos. Please take us to see Captain Roger. He should be impatient to wait."

Ross said as he stood beside his butler who had been with him for nearly a decade.

"Okay, Mr. Ross. I have arranged for them to go to the Wasteland and wait. I have also provided them with tea, tables, chairs, and other things to show their courtesy."

Tokos told him about his arrangements, which were also instructed by Ross to carry out.

Wasteland refers to the vacant land on Yun Island that has not yet been developed.

They definitely cannot be allowed to go to the central area. It is too dangerous. How can we allow others to sleep soundly next to our bed?
In other places, there are many people and eyes, so even if there are no CP agents or other spies, some things are bound to leak out.

So wasteland is the best place.

It's spacious and there's no need to worry about walls having ears.

Ross only needed to make a small improvised room to prevent the subsequent conversation from leaking out.

"Okay, Garp, we can just take Long and the other four with us."

"No problem, you can make the arrangements, I'm just there to keep the peace."

Cap didn't care about Ross's arrangements. He knew that there would be no conflict today, but it was enough to be able to grasp the movements of Roger and others.

As for why it is said that there are four people including Long instead of three.

Because the passionate young man named Kuzan has become friends with the three of them. He is now just a young and promising marine under Garp, but judging from Garp's attitude towards him, he attaches great importance to him.

They will definitely be members of the elite training camp in the future, which means they will be future brothers and sisters.

As for Jhin, he will enter the next elite training camp as a special guest, but he will need to disguise himself.

Whether it is the improvement of strength or the inculcation of ideas, this is a very necessary link, and it can also bring him and the dragon closer.

Ross knew that the other party would never forget the scene of him killing Kaido, but as long as he established a bond with Dragon, wouldn't he be his friend?
Relationship, relationship, your relationship is my relationship.

"Let's go. Don't keep Roger and the others waiting too long. Long, it's up to you how much you can learn from the following conversation. This is one of the necessary skills for a leader!"

Ross gave earnest instructions.

Trading is a skill that even those in high positions must master.
