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

Chapter 144 Whitebeard's Concerns
"Dad, we had such a great time today! There's food all over Torrant's place, and there are also amusement rides made of snacks. The chocolate sticky slide is really nice."

A young man with blond hair was talking beside Newgate, surrounded by many young people of the same age who had strange looks but kind faces.

Marco, this is his name, and he is currently the ship’s doctor, scout and fighter of the Whitebeard Pirates. He advocates that those who are capable should do more work!
Around him are "Big Guy" Jozu, "Slipper Head" Thatch, "Black Hat" Vista, "Rumpy" Bramanco and others, all of whom are future captains of Whitebeard's squad and his first family members.

Each of them had a bulging belly at this time, obviously they had been eating all day, and they couldn't wait to eat as soon as they digested a little.

"Gulala, Lingling's food is indeed unique, but it's all sweets. It's a little hard for old guys like us to get used to it. We still prefer big gulps of wine and big bites of meat!"

Whitebeard enjoyed this atmosphere of sharing joy.

They were on the "Moby Dick", which had just sailed for less than two years, sitting around the lights on the deck, sharing the joy of the day.

"Then how about I make a special midnight snack for you, Dad? The perfect chef will satisfy the appetite of everyone on the ship!"

Sachi eats the least among the hundreds of people on the ship, and this is because of the current situation, so that he can cook a familiar dinner for his family members who are not used to eating sweets.

He is the chief chef on the ship, which is a very important position. After all, on the sea, only when you are full can you have the energy to do anything.

"Well, Thatch, please make me some wine-roasted pork, gulalala."

Newgate didn't hesitate to wave his hand and asked Sachi to use strong liquor to make this novel snack for him. This was also a new dish that Sachi had developed not long ago.

"Okay, Dad, wait!"

Sachi patted his butt, called two helpers and walked towards the cabin.

Newgate looked at his leaving back, his heart filled with the warmth of family. This was what he had been looking for while sailing on the sea!
"Oh, by the way, old man, look at this newspaper. It was printed yesterday and was only delivered to the New World today. That birdman Morganse is really getting faster and faster."

Suddenly, seeing that there was nothing to talk about, Marco took out a newspaper in order to make the conversation interesting. The content in the newspaper should be able to arouse his father's interest.

After all, it was about the defeat of his old rival Shiki.

"Oh?"

Newgate glanced sideways and found that it was the news of Ski's defeat. He immediately became interested. He also wanted to see why the golden lion was so embarrassed today.

His sources of information were not as extensive as Lingling's. After all, there were quite a few nobles who had had relationships with the young Lingling, although they were all cuckolded.

But with her appearance as the most beautiful pirate at that time, many people were vying for a kiss, especially if they gave enough money and resources.

Isn’t this better than those high-end brand names on Happy Street that are only interested in money?

Naturally, he was very interested in the news of the battle that Lingling mentioned.

"Then you can read it to everyone, Marco. But wait until Thatch comes back from cooking. We can't secretly admire Ski's defeat behind his back, gurgle."

After that, Newgate started talking to everyone about the embarrassing things that happened in their childhood.

For example, the intern Marco, Diamond Joz and Major General Iron Block stared at each other for a long time without taking any action, and Namur, a fishman, didn't even know the existence of Fish-Man Island at first.

Anyway, Newgate was the only one who spoke excitedly, while the others all looked as if they had something to say but couldn't, and they just smiled awkwardly along with their father.

Well, Newgate is their father, so of course they forgive him.

Although they were all a group of pirates, they had great respect for Newgate, the "father" who had raised them for many years.

On the sea, except for a few individuals, the grace of raising a child is greater than many other things, especially on the cruel and great voyage!
After waiting for a long time, Sachi came over with a huge piece of sea king barbecue in his hands. The aroma of the meat was mixed with the special aroma of wine, which was the barrel of "Sea King Drunk" that Newgate had not finished drinking.

Although you can't drink that kind of liquor directly, you can still enjoy the food made with it.

"Come on, come on, let's all listen to the story of Shiqi's defeat! Marco, let's begin!"

"Wuhu, Marco, please start quickly. We have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"Yes, tell me quickly, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"

"Ah! It's finally over, let's get started, Captain Marco!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic and finally got through the most difficult time.

Whitebeard ate meat with a sullen face. It was interesting to talk about everyone's expressions when they were children. Why don't they like this? I really don't understand.

Marco lived up to everyone's expectations. He shook the newspaper and spread it out. Blue flames appeared near his eye sockets and he read:
"On November 1490, 11 in the Sea Circle Calendar, a war broke out in the...sea area of ​​the Kingdom of Jerra. The two warring parties were the former admiral Zephyr the Black Arm and the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion..."

Marco read the contents of the newspaper verbatim. Although there was no vivid performance, everyone became somewhat silent as time went by.

After all, the Navy seems to have come up with something incredible.

"Sakaski..."

Newgate chewed the meat while thinking back. If I remember correctly, this is Ross's second disciple, right? I didn't expect that he would grow to this level at the age of 23.

There was a large fleet consisting of more than 3,000 pirates, and he alone killed seven or eight hundred of them.

He also has top-notch natural magma fruits, and he will definitely have a place among the future strong men.

Given Ross's relationship with the navy, when he dies in the future, perhaps there won't be much room for pirates to survive in the entire ocean?
Although they have heard a lot of secrets from the old Captain Rocks, such as the world government's balance method, if they can wipe out all these pirates, they will definitely leave no stone unturned!
Newgate glanced at his sons.

They were not afraid in their hearts, but just showed some signs of being unconvinced. After all, in terms of age alone, Sakaski was not much older than them.

But their achievements are far beyond their reach.

As a pirate, how could you be willing to let the navy rob you of your prestige?

And that so-called elite training camp, judging from some subtle descriptions, is no weaker than those of them.

"Forget it. The new era is for young people. The most I can do is protect them until they grow up to be able to protect themselves... Why think so much? Am I not still alive?"

Newgate thought to himself that although it was still a long time before his end, he had to consider the future.

Ever since he was given the title of "Dad", he has been considering the future.

For example, if he really dies one day, he might hand over those children who have no history of doing evil to Ross in advance.

The pride of the legend would not let him lower his posture easily, but if the time really came...

The sea breeze was blowing, and the night wind was particularly cold, which made Newgate's slightly tipsy head sober up a lot.

The sons below shouted that they were not inferior to others and said that they must compete with the younger generation of the navy if they had the chance.

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

Pirates have their own gatherings, and navy officers have their own celebration banquets.

On the training ground of the elite training camp, the two groups of people were divided into two teams.

One group surrounded Ross who was holding a huge cloud bag in his hand, and another group surrounded the Warring States who had a lot of weapons and Baileys piled up behind him.

Ze Fa was absent because he needed treatment. He was badly injured in the battle with the Golden Lion. The great swordsman's slash was not easy to deal with, especially when he needed to cover for the students, so he suffered a lot of injuries.

"Originally, I was going to give you these fruits as graduation gifts when you graduate, but now I think it's better to let you choose them in advance. Life is the most important thing!"

Ross said as he opened the cloud bag, and devil fruits poured out one by one, appearing enchantingly beautiful under the illumination of a light in the center.

There are small notes on them with the names of the fruits written on them.

Although they are all very common animal-type devil fruits, they are extremely precious to them, and it is not a problem to use them to the level of upper lieutenant admiral.

"Hey, Mr. Ross, you..."

“This is too expensive!”

"Wow, you are so kind to us. I don't know how to repay you."

Nineteen people looked at each other, and then a noisy conversation broke out.

Some were grateful, some refused, and some couldn't believe it.

In short, they never expected that Ross would prepare such a big gift for them!

The noise here soon attracted the attention of another group of people, and then they began to whisper, and Zhan Guo's face gradually became painful and envious.

More than 30 devil fruits, how much combat power can be cultivated if they are given to the navy? More than 30 major generals at least! Even if one out of five is enough, it will be six or seven lieutenant generals.

The vice admirals are the backbone of the naval headquarters. The number of vice admirals in each generation of the navy does not exceed twenty!

He suddenly wanted to take a tour around those pristine islands.

"Well, these fruits are useless to me anyway. It's not good to occupy the toilet without doing anything. If you really want to thank me, then try your best to live on, and work for me to pay off your debts after you retire!"

Ross made two jokes to lighten the mood, and then said:
“But you must think carefully before you eat. With power comes more responsibility. You should discuss this among yourselves.

If you don't want to eat, you can go back to Yundao and buy whatever you want with your own money. Just tell Tokos, we have plenty of money."

After saying this, Ross slowly left. Before leaving, he gave Sakaski a look, indicating that all the next matters would be left to him.
