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

Chapter 196 Bear Cub
"Bear cub..."

Ginny stood behind a big tree, poked her head out, and looked at the bear in the middle of the river with eyes full of heartache.

The bear is stupid, he is not very smart, but he has a pure and kind heart, and he is willing to give everything that seems stupid to others for some things.

Ginny felt that the current bear was very stupid, and the efforts he put in and the rewards he got were like a chasm.

Did he really not care about her at all? Why... Ginny couldn't figure it out, but as a friend who shared life and death, all she could do was to advise him in the midst of complaints and help him in the midst of complaints.

Shaking her head, Ginny quietly turned back. She knew that the bear would be very weak after suffering such pain every time, and he would have to go back to the town to take away the various things given by the villagers.

During this time, she will prepare the bear cub's favorite desserts and cook enough meals for him to recover.

Then, scold him harshly after dinner!

It not only makes me feel a little better, but also hopes that Bear can change.

At least... don't abuse your abilities too much.

"Little girl, would you mind preparing a dessert and meal for us? This is our reward."

"who!?"

Nearing the chapel in the woods, just as Ginny was about to go in to prepare for dinner, she heard a voice behind her.

It was a very gentle male voice, and it gave her the same feeling as the tone of Xiong's voice now, but she was not that silly and naive little girl.

Ginny was on guard immediately, turned around and looked up, and saw a flash of cold light in the sleeve behind her, and the blade of a small knife was revealed.

“Don’t be nervous, I just want to see the brave men that Roger and I talked about, who are willing to take risks and lead the refugees in the Valley of the Gods to escape. I deeply admire your courage and actions.

So, put down your weapons, kids. We are really just here to visit you and we want you to get to know us. Here, this is sincerity."

Ross said, pointing to a living, slender small sea beast behind him, which was tightly locked with cloud shackles and ropes.

Although his words had a certain tone of coaxing a child, most of them carried a similar meaning of negotiation, and his purpose and known information were revealed between the lines.

After all, Ginny is not an ordinary little girl. She was a person who dared to do things at a young age, and even achieved several feats in the Valley of Gods, such as transmitting intelligence to other places, making escape plans, and leading a group of refugees!
You know, that's where the game of destroying a nation is being held! Not to mention strict guards, it's still easy to prevent any information from leaking out.

However, even under such conditions, Ginny was even able to transmit intelligence to other places, which was not an exaggeration to be called a "legend" on the ocean at that time.

Although she was only a teenager at the time, she could already look at the other person with the mindset of an experienced adult.

"Roger...Valley of the Gods..."

Ginny thought to herself that she was relieved after hearing the two pieces of information, but she still didn't let down her guard.

She has been living in fear these years, fearing that one day people from the World Government would come and destroy this newly formed home.

As far as she knew, at least half of the people who escaped that year were secretly eliminated by CP agents. She didn't know how many were still alive, but it was probably only one in ten.

Since Ross and others are willing to come out openly, it is definitely impossible that they are sent by the World Government to settle accounts. However, before she finds out what the other party wants to do specifically, she can't really relax her vigilance and let down her guard!
Know each other? It's just a lie!
"Huh, I still like innocent kids, just like Sakaski was back then, so innocent~~"

Ross shook his head. What he said was true, but Ginny obviously didn't believe it.

Beside him, Long was carrying the sea beast, gently covering his face with his tail. He looked thoughtful, his eyes rolling around, thinking about how to get Teacher Ross to tell him about Sakaski's childhood.

When he asked himself, he mostly got perfunctory answers. If he got tired of asking, he would probably get beaten up. But he and Borsalino still enjoyed asking Sakaski.

"Don't worry. You rescued hundreds of slaves and refugees from the chaos back then. There are only a few people who know about this and still remember it, and there are only two people besides the World Government."

Ross patiently explained to Ginny, using her own information to gain her trust, and continued:

"One is Roger, and the other is Garp. They helped you to avoid a lot of troubles when you were fighting Rocks. Others may not know, but as the leader, you should have paid attention to it, right?
These things were mentioned by Roger when we were chatting. It just so happens that I have a little money, a little land, and a little kindness, so I am willing to provide you with a better environment and, by the way, get to know you. "

"I understand... Since you are a guest, please come in first. There is a long table in the church where you can take a rest first."

Ginny put away her guard, put away her weapon, and patted her dress lightly, looking nonchalant.

After saying this, she pointed at the dragon not far away and said:
"By the way, the gentleman over there... uh... is a little distracted, yes, a little distracted and smiling a little unpleasantly, could you please help me deal with this sea beast?" Ginny's words were very polite. Originally, she wanted to say directly that the dragon was a fool, but she thought that such words were not good for the guests, so she was more tactful.

On the other side, Long woke up from his fantasy after hearing Ginny's loud shout. He looked at Ginny not far away and pointed at himself. He pointed at himself with his index finger and said:
"me?"

"Yes, it's you! Sir, can you please help me deal with the sea beast in your hand? Thank you!"

"Okay, then Mr. Ross, you guys go and rest first, I'll be here soon!"

The dragon smiled at Rose and then carried the sea beast and followed Ginny to the back of the church, which was upstream of the river where the bear washed its body.

Sea beasts are not like sea kings. Their internal bodies are similar to those of normal sea fish. Some things must be removed before eating, otherwise the taste will be bad.

Ginny had dealt with sea beasts captured by Ivankov when he was still around. She wasn't a novice, but the food she could process was a little limited.

However, as he walked along the road, Long scratched his head. Did he seem to have missed some important information? It seemed to be related to his father. If he had known this, he would not have been immersed in his fantasy just now.

On the other side, Yixiao originally wanted to go over with Long to help. After all, Long was only about two or three years older than him, so they were of the same age.

Although he is blind, he is still able to help.

But there were some doubts in his heart that he couldn't wait to ask Ross, which made him feel a little conflicted and hesitant.

"It's okay, just let Long go. Let's go sit inside and wait for the bear cub to come back. Before that, feel free to ask any questions you have."

Ross could naturally see what Yixiao was thinking. After all, it was all written on his face. Any normal person could tell at a glance what he was struggling with.

Yixiao hesitated for a while again, nodded, and followed Ross into the small church.

To say that he is not big is because he is compared to tall people like Yixiao, Long and Xiong. Ross's physique is considered a "dwarf" in the sea. He is even shorter than a normal man, at more than two meters tall.

So the whole church seemed bigger to him, and even bigger to Ginny, who was only about 1.2 meters tall.

The church was very simple, with a long table surrounded by a few chairs. In the front was the pulpit, and on both sides of the pulpit were stairs leading directly to the second floor, where Bear and Ginny's bedrooms were.

"Even though I can't see it, I can smell the blood coming from that little priest. He's using the river to wash it away. Is that... a side effect of the devil fruit?"

Yixiao sat down opposite Ross, first asked some irrelevant questions, and then asked the question he really wanted to know the answer to:
"Also, do you think there will really be survivors in the game of destroying nations?"

Yixiao has been working in the navy for about a year, and the information he has access to is basically information that only lieutenant generals are qualified to read, such as... one of the locations in the game of annihilating a nation - the Valley of the Gods!

But no matter which game file of annihilation of a country is included, the number of survivors is always zero!
And because Yixiao had personally participated in a God Valley incident, he understood even more how cruel the massacre of the Knights of God was at the end of the game.

There really wasn't even a place left to hide!
He couldn't understand how there could be survivors in such a situation. From what Ross said, the little girl and her companions saved a lot of people.

This is really... lucky and crazy!

"Well, the child's name is Kuma, and he eats the top-notch superhuman Meatball Fruit, but the name doesn't quite fit the ability of the fruit.

I don't know much about this fruit, I just know that it has strong development potential, and based on what we have observed before, it is indeed one of the side effects of the child's ability."

Ross first answered the previous question with a smile.

This morning, not long after Xiong went to the hospital, Ross, Long and Yixiao came to the Kingdom of Solbe, watching everything he did in the morning, as well as the hearts and actions of the villagers after receiving help.

At noon, they found a tavern in the kingdom to eat. After catching a sea monster, they continued to follow the bear until he lay in the river "torturing himself".

The visual impact is far less than the shock to the soul.

If Long wanted to help this kind, gentle, selfless child after witnessing all this, then Yi Xiao wanted to protect him with all his strength.

"According to our observations, he has developed the ability to transfer the pain in others into his physical form, which can be defined in a wide range of ways, such as the pain caused by a disease.

However, if this pain cannot be borne by others, then the person with the ability will have to bear it himself."
