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

Chapter 209: Because I Cherish, I’m Afraid

"I'm so scared! Huh-huh-huh--"

In the luxurious room, Hai Sisheng took off his hood and gasped for breath. Fear crept onto his face at this moment, and his previous perverse look was completely gone.

Behind him, his son asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, Dad? Why are you like this?"

He didn't understand why his father was so different before and after, and his mother looked as confused as he did.

Hai Sisheng gritted his teeth and said nothing, but casually said:
"You will understand later. I'm leaving now."

Now he just wanted to torture the two slaves and vent all his emotions.

No, not enough! Two is not enough, there must be more!

There are quite a few female CP agents on this ship. Neither they nor another group of male agents have much combat capability and are mainly responsible for other matters.

He could just find two of them to make do with him. They have been trained and should be more durable than ordinary women. This should be enough for him to vent all his emotions.

Barrett thought that Hai Sisheng did not notice his behavior, but on the contrary, he used the skin of the Celestial Dragon to pretend to be stupid and ignorant until now, when he dared to show his true colors.

Hai Sisheng is a Celestial Dragon of the older generation, and is well aware of the existence of the "Knights of God," a group of people who have the power to judge Celestial Dragons.

However, this power is rarely used, and the death of a Celestial Dragon is rarely seen in an entire era.

You Xin, he had personally witnessed the Knights of God executing a family of Celestial Dragons in the last era, but he didn't know what happened next.

But at that time, little Hai Sisheng understood a truth:
The Celestial Dragons will also die if they are killed!
This is a truth that many Tianlong people will never understand in their entire lives. Only when they are close to death can they understand their own fragility and that the so-called dignity is also built under the protection of others.

When he turned around, he had a clear premonition that Barrett could take his life at any time!
For the sake of his life and safety, he had to pretend to be stupid and choose to leave to minimize the risk.

But... in the end, he was still afraid and shot the agent to relieve the suppressed fear and anger in his heart.

Putting on the hood again, Hai Sisheng picked two unlucky guys with a strange temperament and entered a hidden room with his two female slaves.

Soon after, screams were heard, which did not stop until several hours later.

…………

Yun Island was very quiet during the past three days. There wasn't much difference except for the presence of a group of veteran marines wandering around the island.

Residents went about their business as usual after a day of martial law, but because of the Celestial Dragons, they rarely left the amusement area and went to the mixed commercial area.

They basically all have concerns now, and are deeply afraid of causing trouble for the head of the Ross family.

However, this comfortable atmosphere caused suffering to some ignorant nobles.

They wanted to meet the Celestial Dragon, thinking that this Celestial Dragon would be someone who would be quite easy to talk to, and wanted to reveal the various purposes that they had in their hearts.

If you are appreciated, you will take off in one step!
In a barren place like Sihai, power is far more useful than force. After all, no matter how strong one is here, only a very few people can escape the range of guns and cannons.

However, the Haisisheng family is not a good family. Every noble who brought evil upon himself got a corresponding fate. They ascended to heaven, but the door led to hell.

Some are happy and some are sad.

On the other hand, Tokos has already contacted many young people in the family, telling them to feel free to express their feelings to the person they like. If they are planning to get married, just let him know, and he will take care of it!

"Barrett, what do you mean by marriage?"

Early in the morning, in the small garden, Mona landed on Barrett's shoulder and asked with a slightly blushing face.

Of course, she understood the general meaning of marriage, but she wanted to take this opportunity to ask Barrett and implicitly reveal her feelings.

She was already fourteen years old, which was considered a grown-up girl by most people. Her mother and two aunts were all former nobles. They had taught Mona some common sense and taboo knowledge when she was thirteen years old.

There may be innocent boys of twenty-six years old on the sea, but there will never be pure girls of sixteen years old.

This is a widely circulated saying.

Of course, the purity here refers to another purity, not physical.

"Marriage? What's that?"

Barrett watered the plants with his left hand and scratched his head with his right hand, looking puzzled. He was somewhat unfamiliar with these two words.

Mona was also a little at a loss, stammering, not knowing how to explain to Barrett. It was obviously she who asked the question first, so why was Barrett suddenly asking her back?

"It's just...it's just...the two of them are together, just like mom and dad!"

Mona summoned up the courage to whisper it, pinching the soft flesh of Barrett's left inner shoulder under his neck with her left hand, holding the outermost part of his shoulder with her right hand, and swinging her legs continuously.

She closed her eyes and shrank her head, looking forward to Barrett's answer.

Barrett paused with the kettle in his hand, raised it slightly to avoid watering the flowers and plants to death, and then said:
"Ah."

"Uh-huh."

"Humph!"

Mona opened her eyes wide and groaned, her chest heaving in anger. She wanted to say something, but in the end she chose to shut up and raised her left hand.

"Boom, boom, boom."

He knocked Barrett's head hard three times with his little fist, then placed the red and swollen head on his leg and gently stroked it with his other hand.

Damn it... it hurts so much! Barrett's skin is like made of iron. Even without the armament color, it is still as hard as stone.

I should have pulled his ears earlier.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss~~”

The sound of watering started again, and Barrett seemed a little absent-minded.

Seeing him like this, Mona on his shoulder flew home on her own after a while. She looked back at him from time to time on the way, and when she saw his dazed look, she turned around and left.

"Hu~~"

In the Observation, Barrett put down the watering can after seeing Mona finally leave, walked to the shy grass and squatted down, teasing it over and over again.

Barrett's heart was beating very fast. Even the battle with Roger had never been so exciting. He felt that every cell in his body was filled with fear.

He didn't know why Mona suddenly came to him and said this, but he seemed to understand something.

Mona wants to form a relationship with him like the one she has with Ross's father and several mothers. Is it a family?
He didn't understand because no one had ever taught him or even told him the concept in this area. He could only understand it with his existing knowledge.

But the more this happened, the more nervous he became. He didn't know how to respond to Mona, so he could only silently say "hmm" to express his inner helplessness.

He really wanted to have a chat with his godfather Ross, but some instinct told him that it would be better not to do so, otherwise something might happen that would not be wonderful for him.

For example, taking a thunder bath?
It'll be fine, but the tingling feeling is pretty awful.

Just like that, Barrett shuddered all over and shook his head, trying to throw these things away.

Get up.

Barrett walked towards home, and after a while he arrived at his doorstep.

What was different from before was that there was a mysterious "ship" at the door of his house? Something similar to Sky Island Powerhouse was parked against the wall, and its entire body was made of solid solid-state processed cloud.

It can glide on the surface of clouds and withstand the impact of explosives, but you can tell it's scrapped by looking at the charred clouds behind it.

This was the attraction that Mona invited him to play last time. It was currently called the "Ghost Spaceship", well, the kind that was blown up into the sky.

Finally, this scrapped "Weiba" was taken by Barrett. Originally, it was going to be discarded by Mona, but Barrett felt that this item was meaningful to keep.

Mona knew that Barrett always collected some strange things, many of which could be thrown away, but that was his hobby, so she could only support him while shaking her head.

After touching the replica Viba, Barrett pushed open the door, walked into the house, sat on the small bed, looked down at the floor, and wondered what he was thinking.

He looked up again and looked around at the objects he had collected. He stood up again as if he had made up his mind, and picked up and put down the objects one by one with his hands, sorting them out again.

It wasn't until he picked up a black backpack and a set of convenient and clean clothes that he paused and carefully recalled their origins.

[“Cloud Island is too boring. I plan to go out and play sometime later. Barrett, how about you come with me?”

"Well, this set of equipment is only 30,000 Baileys? Then get another set. Don't lose it, Barrett, or I won't buy you a new one. If you go out with me in the future, you can only watch me have fun~"

"Ahhh, why did Dad suddenly go out for two years? Bad Dad, stinky Dad! Why can two bastard brothers go out on their own, but I can't!"]

Barrett was stunned for a moment, then put these things in a pile and finally placed them next to his pillow.

He and Tokos had gotten some information about his two brothers, Atuo and Alexander, shortly after Mona complained about this.

But he didn't say much, just made it clear that Ross had sent special people to protect them, one from his own family and one from a fishman.

He really wanted to ask why Ross didn't send someone to protect Mona and let her go out for a walk, but before he could ask, Tokos shook his head and left.

It wasn't until much later that he realized that he was the one Ross had chosen to protect Mona.

In other words, this was Mona's own choice. When Ross felt that there was no other better choice than him, he did not say it explicitly and just let things develop in this way.

"This is so unfair to her, father. Mona is tied here by me. If you are not here, she will never be able to leave."

Barrett complained slightly.

Of course, it was just a complaint. If Mona hadn't chosen him, he would have wanted to bring this up with Ross.

Is it because Mona filled my heart when I was a child, or is it something else?
Barrett knew it, but was a little afraid to face it.
