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

Chapter 18: Navy Recruit Sakaski
Three years later, in the year 1483 of the Haiyuan calendar, East China Sea, Yun Island.

This is a newly built island two years ago, a miracle island created by "Ross", the patriarch of the Nasdaq family, a huge island made entirely of clouds.

Merchant ships coming and going stop here, and some ships fly flags made up of thunderclouds and lightning, which are exclusive to the Nasdaq family.

Two years ago, after completing his voyage in the North Sea, Ross settled down in the East China Sea and officially became a legal East China Sea merchant through various procedures of the World Government.

In the Four Seas, many things require formal procedures, even going out to sea. Anyone who goes out to sea without formalities is considered a pirate! This is the iron rule of the World Government!
Ross was able to travel around the world as a traveler because of his wives, otherwise he would most likely be a pirate, even if he did not do any evil.

In this way, everything went on in an orderly manner until today...

"Brother Sakaski, please don't join the navy! Mona doesn't want you to leave!"

Mona, who was already five years old, floated beside Sakaski like a ghost, her two little hands holding each other's arms and pulling hard.

It was still more than thirty meters away from boarding a dog-head warship, but this short distance seemed particularly long.

At the back, Ross came to see Sakaski off as his master, and standing next to him was a burly middle-aged man who was three meters tall.

"Ahahaha, little Mona is as lively as ever. Ross, you really don't plan to join the navy? For my sake, Boss Kong should directly give you a major general position!"

Garp tried to attract customers while biting a senbei, but his attitude was just average.

After all, he has tried to recruit Ross more than once. The current Navy Marshal "Cyberbone" Kong is very envious of this strong man who could fight him on equal terms two years ago but was now beaten down by him in a long time.

There was no way. Karp had been sent as a lobbyist more than once, but the answers he got every time were predictable.

"Haha, that old guy Kong hasn't given up yet. Really, I'm already a father of three children, and my fourth child will be born in half a year. How can I educate them if I'm a navy?"

Ross's words were meaningful.

Beside him, Garp's laughing face became a little stiff, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Of course, Cap could tell that Rose was diss-ing him. After all, he is also a father now, and his son Monkey D. Dragon is already 16 years old, the same age as Sakaski at this moment.

But when it comes to education, perhaps my sixteen years of iron fist are not as effective as Ross's three years of teaching.

Ever since Cap and Ross mentioned that they had a son the same age as Sakaski, he had been poking at himself with this fact.

Ross shook his head and said no more.

Garp met him after he arrived in the East China Sea again. Two years ago, when he had just arrived in the East China Sea from the North Sea, he accidentally encountered a group of pirates. Behind the pirates was Garp who kept throwing cannonballs.

The two met at that time. For the purpose of training, Ross later challenged Cap to battle alone several times to test his own strength.

It was then that the navy learned that a powerful civilian had settled in the East China Sea and had been sending this guy Garp to recruit him.

But it must be said that Garp's talent is indeed abnormal. Perhaps out of his competitive spirit, he can no longer beat his opponent in just two years.

I really don’t know why everyone in the D clan is so perverted!
But that's true. It is now the 1483rd year of the Haiyuan calendar, and the Battle of God Valley will be here soon. It is during this time period that Garp will break through to the emperor level.

But he is not bad either. He is nearly 30 years old and below the level of a general. Although most of his combat power relies on the ability of the fruit, his physical fitness is not much different from that of a vice admiral of the navy.

On the other side, after a long tug of war, Sakaski finally boarded the warship, carrying a huge box in his hand, and standing beside him were some young men who were obviously led by him.

"Sorry, Mona, can I go on adventures with you when I have some free time?" "No way! Uncle Mocassi is out for training, and those two bastard brothers Atuo and Alexandra won't play with me. Dad doesn't have time now either. If you leave, there will be no one to play with me every day!"

Mona's tears kept falling and she held Sakaski's hand tightly.

Ever since that night three years ago, Mona knew that Sakaski was the same person as Uncle Mokasi, but compared to Mokasi's protection, Sakaski's kindness obviously made her happier.

That's how she became a follower who always stuck to him, and once she caught Sakaski taking a break, she would drag him to play and go on "adventures" together.

Children are the most unable to accept separation, especially when the relationship is very good, such separation is the most painful.

It's like your favorite toy is lost or your favorite food is no longer available.

Sakaski had no choice but to turn his attention to Ross.

He actually likes little sister Mona very much. When playing with her, it feels like he is back in his childhood.

At that time, he was just like Mona, sticking to a girl named "Haley", and their relationship was like that of a sibling.

But then, everything was ruined.

"Okay Mona, your brother Sakaski is just going to fulfill his dream. He's not not coming back. Just like he gave you gunpowder just because you liked bombs, you have to understand his preferences!"

A cloud like a snake wrapped around Mona's body and pulled her to Ross easily.

Ross smiled and said in a kind tone:
"I know you feel bad, but this is how the world is. When you grow up, you may leave your father because of your dream. When that time comes, will I stop you from pursuing your dream like I am doing now?"

"But...but..."

"There's still a lot of time. It just so happens that we have almost dealt with all the recent things. Your grandpa and his family have also sent a lot of people to help deal with things. Can Daddy spend more time with you every day in the future?"

"All right……"

Mona sucked her thumb, looking conflicted, but finally agreed.

Indeed, she couldn't ask Sakaski to give up his dream and stay with her. That would be too willful, just like not allowing someone to touch a bomb!
If my father could spend more time with me every day, that would be acceptable to me.

After coming to terms with it, Mona swept away her previous sadness and waved goodbye to Sakaski:

"Brother Sakaski must miss Mona! When you come back, don't forget to bring a gift for Mona!"

On the warship, Sakaski nodded with a faint smile on his face.

"Ah, now that I'm ready, I'm going to go back first. I can't keep Boss Kong waiting for too long. See you again, Ross!"

"See you next time, Cap."

"By the way, Ross, I'm curious to ask, what did you put in the big box that you gave Sakaski? I'm a little... curious!"

"Nothing, just some pocket money."

Childhood is over, now is the navy time, and next I will prepare to adopt six-year-old Barrett.
