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

Chapter 199 Wherever he is, there is happiness

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Do you want to hear about the treatment?"

Seeing that Ginny wanted to shake her head to refuse, Ross asked again calmly.

This was actually Ross's impromptu idea, because as far as the situation was concerned, there was no difference between Bear and Ginny being here and being caregivers in the orphanage over there.

It’s best to accept it, but it’s okay not to accept it.

"Then... tell me?"

Ginny said, throwing away the bone she was using to pick her teeth, picking up the meat and eating it again, wanting to hear what Rose would say.

She didn't want to leave here, because this was the little home she and the bear had built bit by bit. How could she abandon it just because of someone else's words?
The bear cub agreed to it but she didn’t agree!
But if Rose is willing to give the bear cub a better life, she won't keep insisting on it.

She didn't understand why Xiong was so foolish as to absorb the suffering for the villagers in the town. She couldn't scold Xiong directly, but she could find a way to keep him away from these things as much as possible.

A caregiver at an orphanage?

She knew this because she came from an orphanage and understood what kind of job it was. By then, the little pastor Bear Cub would be very busy.

If he was busy, he wouldn't hurt himself so often. If it was just to share some of the pain with the children, Ginny could still accept it.

On the other side, Bear's gaze also shifted over. He believed in Ginny's judgment, so he smiled comfortingly and listened with his ears.

"First of all, I'm very rich, so I will only build one orphanage on each island, and expand it according to the size of the island. I will not be careless with the supplies, and will only distribute them at twice the expected number of orphans.

After that, every six months you can send a message to the patrolling fleet, and in the next six months they will deliver all the supplies you need, with a 20% increase."

"Secondly, we have a certain relationship with the navy, so the orphanage will not be attacked in any form, including by the kingdom's nobles or even pirates. If there is any, unless it is those people from the World Government and the New World who have nothing to do, they will all be killed."

"Finally... I don't carry much money when I go out, but your salary won't be less than this amount."

After saying that, Rose took out a few smaller gold Baileys from her pocket, placed them on the table and pushed them in Ginny's direction.

His words were calm and straightforward, and each one of them touched Ginny's heart deeply.

Worry-free, relatively safe, and with extremely high salaries, it is thousands of times better than their seclusion in this forest!
There was no better life than this. As long as she opened her mouth, she and Bear would be able to live the life described by Ross in the near future.

Ginny put down the meat in her hand, clenched her fists, placed them at her sides, lowered her head, frowned and fell into hesitation.

Finally, she let go of her hand, turned to look at the bear cub eating meat beside her, and asked with a smile:

"What do you say, bear cub? This time, I will listen to you."

If she had to choose, she would definitely be willing to pack her bag and leave right away. After all, she was homeless in the first place, so she and Ivankov followed the bear to the Kingdom of Solbe.

After all, Xiong is very familiar with this place. His original home is in another town on the island, not far from this town.

But in the end Ivankov left. He said he would come back one day, but no one knew when.

Xiong was sentimental, and Ivankov was their companion who had shared life and death together. Ginny wanted to hear his opinion before making a decision.

"I……"

The bear swallowed the meat in his mouth, and faced with Ginny's question, he was also in a certain dilemma.

He was reluctant to leave because he had to wait for Ivankov to come back and because of the poor old people in the town.

Most of their illnesses are incurable and need to be cleared up every once in a while. His ability can only absorb pain, not the root of the disease. If he is not around, those old people will only fall into pain again.

Bear knew very well how it felt to see hope. He was the hope of those old people, just as he once regarded Ginny as hope.

If they had not been able to escape from that place, Xiong couldn't imagine how they would feel, so he could empathize with those old people even more.

Perhaps, the suffering that comes again will make them face death calmly, which is something the bear does not want to see.

but……

He also wanted Ginny to live happily. Her current life was just as good. He thought so, but what about Ginny? Did she really think so?

He knew that she was a girl with dreams, but because he was worried about her, he chose to give up temporarily.

She has done enough for me, and I can't let her give up again because of some small capriciousness.

The treatment Mr. Ross offers is very good. It is a life that Bear would never dare to imagine. That must meet Ginny's requirements for happiness, right?

On one side are friends, on the other side is the heart.

The bear kept picking up pieces of meat and stuffing them into his mouth to chew. His anxious worries quickly turned into appetite. As time went by, a look of pain slowly appeared on his face.

He already had the answer, Ginny left and he could stay.

But Ginny wouldn't agree.

Both he and Ginny stayed, but he himself would not agree.

This is a doomed dilemma.

"It's okay. As long as you are here, anywhere is a good place. Sorry, Mr. Ross, thank you for your kindness."

In the end, Ginny did not let the bear make this difficult choice. She reluctantly pushed the gold Baileys back to Ross and shook her head apologetically.

The most important person to her is by her side, and with him, life will always be beautiful.

Xiong was indeed very stupid and naive. When he first arrived here, he was often bullied by children. He was big and gentle, like a coward. But even such a Xiong was someone she was willing to protect for the rest of her life. From the day he was willing to stand up and protect them, this idea had been deeply rooted in her mind.

"No, I don't want to be the bad guy. I should be the one to say sorry. These Baileys are compensation. Big Bear needs more meat to replenish his body. Don't be stingy."

Ross pushed Bailey back again.

His impulsive action caused emotional hurt to both of them. As someone who can see into other people's emotions, Ross felt deeply about this.

Yixiao, who was standing beside Xiong, turned his head away silently and shed tears. He was totally unable to pretend to be calm in the face of Xiong and Ginny's feelings, and instead used this method to retain the last bit of stubbornness as an adult.

Ross felt sorry for this, as he had wanted to bring a better life to both of them.

He had no intention of taking the two away, otherwise he would have done it shortly after the incident in the Valley of the Gods.

Bear will become the king of the Kingdom of Solby in the future, a gentle tyrant, and this decision has a lot to do with Ginny's departure.

Rose would not let Ginny repeat the trajectory of history again. The final ending should be that the two of them are in the original place, doing the same thing as Rose is doing now.

Running your own small family while doing something within your ability is the most perfect ending.

After all, with the invincible Barrett around, no one more bear is too many or one less bear is too few. Helping this gentle tyrant in the original novel is just a good thing to do. Why not do it?
"Thank you, Mr. Ross. I'm sorry. Please forgive my previous behavior..."

Ginny did not accept the Baileys immediately, but pushed them to her empty seat, apologizing for some of her previous rude behavior and words that were forgiven.

The person in front of her was really a good person, definitely the kindest person Ginny had ever met in her life.

No! It should be the second largest one. The largest one should be the bear cub!
"Yeah, thank you Mr. Ross."

The bear didn't know what to thank for, but he followed Ginny's gesture of thanks.

Not far away, Long threw a piece of meat into his mouth and then lay on the table in a depressed mood. He obviously didn't drink anything, but he was as drunk as a drunkard as if he had drunk air wine.

Seeing that my little advisor was about to be obtained, it was gone~

Alas, what a pity, but maybe there will be opportunities in the future, but just thinking about it makes me feel a little unwilling.

He had obviously tried very hard to cooperate with Ginny in the performance, even wearing that cute little apron.

"Cheer up, Dragon!"

Rose patted Long's shoulder and pulled him up, then said goodbye to Ginny:

"It's getting late, so we'll take our leave now. We look forward to seeing you again, kind big bear and not-so-cute little girl."

After saying this, before Ginny could say anything in response, Rose left the church with her dragon like lightning.

"Squeak~~"

Only the door was left shaking slightly.

"Then I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your hospitality. I look forward to seeing you next time. This is my gift to Big Bear. I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he smiled and waved his hand, and a small stone flew in from the church door. It was the size of a fist and was surrounded by a purple halo.

"Click... click..."

The stone began to deform, and tiny pieces of stone fell off, covered with a purple halo and floating in the air.

Soon, Yixiao squeezed out a rough outline, which came to life with the help of his observation Haki.

After removing the excess debris, those debris were pinched onto the stone figure as embellishment.

"It's just a little trick, I hope you don't mind."

It was a statue of a bear, the only difference was that he was wearing a T-shirt on the upper body and shorts on the lower body. Overall, he looked more like a brown bear orc, with bear ears and a bear tail, his fingers on his mouth, and a silly look.

It was cute, that was the only feeling Ginny had.

Behind this portrait is Ginny, who looks like a raccoon orc. She lies on the bear's back, gently grabbing his ears and playing around, laughing happily.

Very vivid, this is the only feeling the bear has.

The bear reached out and took out the gift Mr. Ross had given him, then took the gift that Yixiao handed over and put it together.

Different, but both reflect the relationship between him and Ginny and their respective hearts.

"Thank you, I will treasure them forever!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Yixiao. This is definitely one of the most valuable gifts I have received today."

I thought about it for a long time today and decided not to make a major overhaul directly, but to overwrite it. It is equivalent to letting people who have subscribed previously read the five chapters of the extra story first, which is considered as an advance subscription.

Start planning tomorrow.

Of these two chapters, one will cover Chapter 191 tomorrow, so the actual update will be two chapters, and all others will be pushed to the back.

Then I will give a hint at the beginning.

Finally, after everything is covered, find an editor to modify the title, and it will be completely completed in six or seven days at the latest.
