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

Chapter 201: Yatuo Extra

"So they encountered a shipwreck. Thanks to you, Yatuo, for saving them. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Dr. Clover's face was full of palpitations. After drinking tea, they began to have a simple chat, and then talked about shipwreck and rescue.

In response, Olivia shook her head and said:

"It's not your fault, Doctor. This is our own choice. We are willing to do this for the sake of knowledge and the unknown. Besides, your time was even more dangerous than it is now. There were vicious pirates everywhere, and we had to travel all over the world."

Olivia said with admiration.

Dr. Clover was very powerful when he was young. He even dared to explore such mysterious places as the Grand Line, and he was able to escape unscathed with a lot of information.

This is their O'Hara legend!
Most of these scholars who were willing to travel and explore were also deeply influenced by him.

"A man never brags about his past achievements, Sister Olivia. This was just a piece of cake, Doctor Clover. And I'm also very glad that I was able to save them, otherwise I wouldn't have met Sister Olivia."

Yatuo first rescued Olivia, ending the embarrassing and shameful incident for Dr. Clover, and then changed the subject and said slowly:
"Sister Olivia is beautiful and kind, and she can tell stories. Being with her makes me feel relaxed. If I could have a sister, she would have to be this type, otherwise I wouldn't recognize her!"

The tone of Yatuo's last few words was a little exaggerated, which made Olivia blush and cover her mouth with her hands while laughing.

Everyone likes to be praised, especially girls. They benefit even more from the contrasting praise, which combines the side and front praise.

It's a bit awkward, but it works.

However, unlike Olivia's reaction, Dr. Clover was somewhat awkwardly silent. After pausing, he looked at Yatuo meaningfully, but then turned his head slightly and changed the subject:

"That's really bad. If your father knew what you said, he would definitely spank you hard, hehehe."

He let out a slightly disrespectful laugh, which puzzled Olivia beside him and made Yatuo's face turn red and black.

Damn it, you are still making dirty jokes at such an old age! Don’t think I can’t understand you just because I am a virgin, you bastard!
"By the way, keep this scroll safe and bring it back to your father. It contains some information that he once asked me to find. He seems to have been looking for this super-large lantern fish sea king. He even asked me to help him. It really exhausted me!"

While Yatuo's face was changing from black to red, he stood up while speaking, took a scroll from the table not far away, and placed it next to the coffee table.

Judging from the texture and the faintly revealed lines, it should be a map.

"Super-large lantern fish sea king, why is my dad looking for this thing?"

Yatuo muttered a few words quietly, then picked up the scroll and handed it to Raw beside him for safekeeping.

Soon he stopped thinking about it. After all, it was his father's business, and there was no point in worrying about it. Although he was a little curious, he still had some self-awareness.

He believed that when the time came, his father would naturally tell him some things he didn't know.

Knowing some things too early will only add to your troubles. This is one of the truths he has learned from his years of doing business.

Time passes slowly.

When the time was almost up and night was falling, Yatuo and Luo Er said goodbye to Dr. Clover and left.

They will stay here for a few more days, firstly to rest and relax, and secondly to see if there are any books that can be copied. Then they can take some back, which would be great for their own use or to sell.

After the two men left, Dr. Clover took Olivia to the previous room alone.

He didn't say anything, but took out a notebook, handed it to Olivia who was full of doubts, and said:

"Take a look. After you finish, I'll tell you about the matter."

Olivia took the diary and started reading it.

The more she read, the faster she turned the pages. She was shocked and couldn't help but guess something. She felt sad, closed the notebook that was only one-third turned, and returned it to Dr. Clover.

"Bart is probably dead. Not long ago, a group of men in black came to O'Hara and took him away without saying anything. His house was turned upside down afterwards.

So, he told me some things, and for safety, he left a copy of his notebook with me. "

Dr. Clover said this, shook his head and said no more, sitting down quietly and looking at Olivia.

The man in black is just a nickname, but this group of scholars all know each other's identity: CP agents, an independent agency affiliated with the World Government, and its priority is even higher than that of the navy.

This is the guy that O'Hara has been avoiding.

Olivia's expression was first full of disbelief, then sadness, and then she collapsed to the ground, falling into silence alone, tears streaming down her eyes.

That notebook recorded Barth's tendency to study historical texts, but his status was not high, and the information he could access was limited. He could only read the books in the Tree of Omniscience day and night to find the answer.

The notebook was full of nonsense, but it was full of Bart's determination and perseverance.

But, he was discovered by the agents of the World Government. If nothing unexpected happens, Olivia will never see Bart again. Maybe they can see each other again in another 18 years?

She really needs someone to comfort her right now, not Dr. Clover, who is both a teacher and a father, but... a friend like Atuo.

However, when she was about to get up, Dr. Clover stopped her and said something that made him look incredulous:

"We old guys are actually studying the historical text, but the progress is very slow. I think it's time to let some young people know about it. For example, you, Olivia, are one of the first candidates."

"Bart is also one of the candidates. I have seen his perseverance and persistence, so I have helped cover up many of his behaviors that are easy to reveal flaws. Logically speaking, the CP agents would not be able to discover such things, at least... it shouldn't be him!"

"Bart is not outstanding among scholars, so it is unlikely that he will become the focus of observation by the CPs. And there seems to be only one person who is able and willing to devote all his efforts to investigating Bart..."

Dr. Clover looked at Olivia meaningfully, quietly waiting for her choice.

Olivia blurted out without even thinking about it. Bart's death was a big blow to her, causing her to temporarily give up thinking, but this would inevitably lead to a sadder ending:

"who is it?!"

"Nasdaq Yatuo, I can see that he likes you very much. It's not the kind of affection between siblings, but a kind of affection called love with the purpose of marriage."

"........."

"........."

"........."

"You're lying to me, aren't you, Doc?"

"I'm just guessing. So far, he is the most likely person to investigate and expose Bart. It won't be difficult for him. The name Nasdaq is almost synonymous with the World Government in the world."

Seeing Olivia's expression change and finally looking at him hopefully, Dr. Clover chose to tell the truth.

He is not sure of the facts, but he also does not give up his doubts.

As an elder, he knows much more than the little girl Olivia, whether it is dealing with things or emotions, what kind of storms had he not seen when he was young?

The confession of Atuo was indeed very obscure to Olivia, but to him it was a naked act.

"No, I have to go ask Yatuo! He can't do such a thing, he's not that kind of person!"

Olivia looked a little excited.

The death of her best friend was already a huge blow to her, and now it seemed that she had to deal with the added trauma of betrayal and filth.

She must ask Yatuo in person!
But when she was about to rush out, Dr. Clover stopped her and said:

"Don't! Don't get excited, Olivia. This is just my guess! With the character of Nasdaq, they won't do such a thing!
If you rush out to question him now, Yatuo will only think that you are challenging his family name! Then you will completely lose this friend, and I don't want to be the villain in this!"

"But...but...I! I don't know what to do...I..."

Dr. Clover's words made Olivia very flustered.

Indeed, the Nasdaq family still has a good reputation around the world, all thanks to Ross's good deeds and Morgans' early publicity.

Even negative things can be changed into positive things! However, this is relatively rare, and it seems that only Yatuo has been changed so far.

For the rest it's just pure positive news.

However, these details are obviously not known to Dr. Clover and Olivia. They only know that the name Nasdaq is one of the synonyms of justice.

More righteous than the Navy!

"Well, then, go find Yatuo and tell him about this matter, and then tell me in detail what he said tomorrow."

Dr. Clover put his hands behind his back and said with a troubled look:
"To be honest, I shouldn't have told you this last thing. Bart's death is important, but the cause of his death is not important. But for you, child, I don't want to hide or lie to you, even if it is an act of kindness.

Although Yatuo was a bit naughty when he was young and has not been very quiet when he grew up, you have grown up too, and he is indeed your best choice at the moment. I don’t want you to have a conflict because of this one day in the future, which is not good for anyone.”

Olivia's eyes were dull, somewhat puzzled by Dr. Clover's words.

She didn't understand why Dr. Clover asked her to fall in love with her new brother, Atuo, instead of building a grave for Bart first.

"You're confused, aren't you, Olivia? O'Hara needs fire, and I raised you myself, and I don't want you to be without a little beauty.

What's more, O'Hara may be destroyed in the future because of us old guys, and I don't want you to be buried with it..."
