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

Chapter 214 Strange Family Object
"Clover, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Ross. I have given the map you asked me to make to your son, Yatuo. He is a very naughty child."

A few days later, in O'Hara's Tree of All-Knowing, Clover greeted Ross unsurprisingly.

He stopped packing the books and waved, motioning for Ross to follow him.

"He was quite naughty. Young people make mistakes. What he and Luo Er did was a bit too crude. Obviously, that kid is quite smart."

Ross's tone was helpless as he followed Dr. Clover into a secret room and watched him open a dark secret passage. Firelight shone from the bottom of the secret passage, which was unknown how deep, emitting a faint light.

Clover picked up an unlit torch from beside him, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, and said happily:

"It's better to keep it simple. It's better to keep it simple. This way I can wait for you to come, right? I spent a lot of time and effort when I wrote to you to ask for your help."

"Honestly, I really don't want to get involved in your little business. I have already found a better candidate for you."

"This is a great cause to continue the truth! How can it be called a bad thing? Forget about the people you chose. I trust you more. At least you will keep them forever."

Clover smiled and shook his head.

The two soon arrived at the bottom of the Tree of Omniscience. There were obvious signs of activity here, and it was obvious that a group of people had conducted research here not long ago.

However, Ross's arrival made them leave on their own, leaving the space completely to Dr. Clover and Ross.

"This is what we discovered. Take a look at it. It's a huge and glorious ancient kingdom!"

Dr. Clover came to a desk, and in front of him was a huge slate of historical text that had been cleaned.

He gently picked up a notebook and wiped off some dust from it as if he were caressing his own child. Turning around, he handed the notebook to Ross and said solemnly:

"I'll trouble you to come to visit me secretly once a year. I'll make a copy of all the latest information and give you the transcript for safekeeping.

Ross, you don't want your son to have any stain on his body, do you?"

"I think you've lived long enough and now you want to die. Don't talk to me in a threatening tone, it will make me think of some not-so-nice things.

I agreed to this. After all, we are friends. It is enough that you did not embarrass me too much. Remember to ask someone to pick it up from me before you die. I will not help you to the end."

Ross's tone left no doubt. Helping O'Hara keep the information was already a big risk for him, and he couldn't be a good person forever.

Clover knew when to stop. The matter of Atuo was only enough for him to trade with Ross. He could only do this because they were once friends and because of Ross's personality.

Otherwise, Ross could destroy the entire O'Hara, and he could really do it.

Clover smiled from the bottom of his heart and said:

"I won't live long anyway, so I was just joking. These notes are the result of our hard work, and I hope you can take good care of them.

I'll leave Olivia in your care as well. She is an excellent scholar, and her dreams and ideals are great enough to support her to keep moving forward."

"There's no point in saying more. My original plan was to save her alone when the time was right, but I don't like to suffer losses. I will let Yatuo persuade her to give up exploring history and be a competent mother."

Ross said bluntly, taking the notebook and flipping through it.

Although he knew some general information from the historical texts, he certainly did not have any detailed information. After all, he did not really understand ancient characters.

This notebook, written by some of the most knowledgeable doctors in O'Hara, is very detailed.

The ancient characters are essentially similar to the classical Chinese of Ross's previous life. Because not too many things can be carved on the stone slabs, each character may represent several words or even a paragraph, or even an entire event!

This is no exaggeration.

"It should be this way. As long as the child is alive, I will be satisfied. Love is always the most powerful force in this ocean, and it has been like this since ancient times.

A simple beast may choose to follow a hunter because of his unintentional help, and a complex human may suffer for the rest of his life because of a single touch."

Clover spoke slowly and calmly, while Ross in front of him was flipping through the translation notes with interest while listening to him.

At least one-third of this notebook is filled with characters, but the information that can be parsed is only half of the total information on the stone tablet.

"Oh, the souls of dead beasts will flood the world? That's an interesting idea. Does that mean we are not pure humans?"

"Clap."

Closing the notebook, Ross spent only a few minutes reading the entire content. On the surface, he spoke with some humor, but in his heart he was deeply shocked by what O'Hara had analyzed.

The older you get, the wiser you become. In the original book, Robin could only see general information on a slate, but O'Hara's doctors could even translate some secrets.

"To be precise, only the D clan and the guys above can be said to be human. Most of us have the blood of beasts in our bodies to a greater or lesser extent."

Dr. Clover shook his head and said with a sad and angry look on his face:

“The ancient giant kingdom was essentially a utopia, but for some reason, the human race revolted and eventually destroyed that kingdom.

But they seem to be divided into two groups, one group wants to keep its purity while also wanting to..."

"You want to make weapons, right? Humans are naturally weak, but their compatibility is very strong, so they thought of using hybridization to breed a group of controlled weapons, such as... the fishmen."

Ross said what Clover was going to say, and then said:

"Let's leave it at that. I don't want to get involved in this matter. Anyway, I won't die even if the world is flooded. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"...Well, okay, everyone has their own aspirations."

Dr. Clover originally wanted to... ahem, persuade Ross to join this great cause of giving the truth to the world.

But after thinking about it, it finally dissipated into a sigh.

The two slowly left the underground. On the way, Ross asked:

"Will you go to my grandson's birth ceremony? And my son's wedding to Olivia. You are half her father. I think you should go and see it."

"Me? Forget it. I don't have the face to see Olivia again. After all, I did lie to her about some things, didn't I? Just let her be happy. I will die sooner or later. There's no need to add to my sadness."

"You can go or not..."

Ross didn't try to persuade them to stay any longer, and the two of them quietly climbed the stairs back to their original room.

Just as Ross was about to open the door and leave, Clover stopped him and said:

"Take this with you. It's my compensation to Olivia. I believe you can use it."

Ross turned around and saw Dr. Clover holding an old box in his hand. It was covered with dust and looked like it had been stored for many years.

The box was not big, he slowly opened it, revealing the items stored inside.

A devil fruit!
If Ross remembered correctly, it was the parahuman Flower-Flower Fruit that Nico Robin ate in the original work!
A piece of trash that is naturally defeated by a strong person with armed color...

As long as the whole body is covered with armament color to offset the ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit, one of the most powerful means of this fruit will be completely useless.

I don't know why it is called flower fruit? Is the blooming palm also a flower?
However, fate is truly amazing.

"Okay, I'll take it. Not next year, Cloud Island needs me to stay there. Maybe the year after next, and I'll come to O'Hara then."

Along the way, I'll look for any talented little ones, preferably girls, to be bodyguards for my lovely grandson~ Ross didn't say the latter part of this, but was planning this in his heart.

There are very few girls of the same age as Robin who are also talented. It's hard to find them.

"Well, O'Hara's door is always open to you."

"I'd rather be confined, Clover. Be careful and don't die too early."

"I'm relieved. How could the World Government find out so quickly? It will take at least five years. There might be a risk of being exposed."

"Indeed, five years is enough for you to translate the rest of the text and then look for other stone tablets to decipher. Okay, let's go!"

"goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to each other, a cloud rose up from under Ross's feet and lifted him up into the sky, flying all the way towards the East China Sea.

Below, Dr. Clover returned to his residence and picked up a photo album from under his pillow.

Above is a photo of Olivia's family. Her father and mother had been on a boat with him and were good friends.

"You've grown up too, and now you have a child..."

Dr. Clover talked to himself for a long time until there was a knock on the door again.

"Dr. Clover, Dr. Agyeves wants to see you. Could you please go over there?"

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

...............

"A-Tuo, is it really okay for us to go back like this? I'm a little worried... Will your parents disown me?"

"Don't worry, Olivia. I received news that my father is already planning a banquet."

Yatuo touched Olivia's big belly and said comfortingly.

To be honest, he was also very nervous when he wrote the letter that day, and the uneasiness in his heart almost suffocated him.

I've already made some small mistakes, and now I'm pregnant before I even get married. I'm sure my father will kick me out of the house, right?
But he felt wronged. Ever since he had a chat with Olivia last time, she had followed him on a trip, treating it as a vacation.

One night, Olivia, the mature older sister, attacked him at night, and finally succeeded after his great struggle.

Unexpectedly... he came after just two or three times, and he started abstaining from sex right away even though he hadn't even tasted the pleasure yet!

However, this kind of thing could not be kept secret after all. When Olivia was still some time away from giving birth, he made up his mind to write a letter to his father and brother.

But Yundao's mother and the others were not informed. Compared to Ross, who was his father, Yatuo would be a little closer to his mother.

This is also a common characteristic of most children, only a very small number of them love their father but not their mother.

Fortunately, his father seemed to have forgiven him, but he would probably be scolded when he returned home.

"I'm sorry, Atuo. I didn't know things would turn out like this. I just read two magazines and then... then..."

Olivia's mature face was filled with the anxiety and haste of a little girl. This was the 30th time she had repeated these words in the past few months.

But Yatuo still patiently comforted him:
"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't this your first time? Besides, this is a good thing, right? Think about it. Our child is about to be born. What kind of mother will you be?"

"I...I don't know..."

“It’s okay, take your time, Olivia, you will definitely be a gentle mother, telling our child bedtime stories every day, instilling your favorite knowledge in her, and immersing her in the ocean of knowledge from an early age.

You watched her grow up, taught her knowledge personally, prepared three meals for her, and she shared her happiness with you every time.

When she grows up, maybe she will surpass you and accomplish things that you cannot accomplish?"

Yatuo painted a picture of happiness and contentment for Olivia.

Olivia ate it all without leaving a single bite. She leaned in Yatuo's arms, reached out and touched her belly, her eyes full of happy fantasies.

Yes, before raising a child by themselves, beautiful fantasies always fill every parent’s heart.

"Qiang Qiang!"

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Enter!"

"Master Yatuo, it will take three hours until Yun Island docks, an estimated time of six hourglasses. I hope you are ready."

"Luo Er, if you wait until we get to the shore before you tell me, I won't be so nervous."

"I'm sorry. I did that on purpose."

Luo Er generously admitted his thoughts, and then without waiting for Yatuo to complain, he closed the door and left.

Yatuo slowly lowered his raised hand.

Ever since they slapped each other last time, his relationship with Luo Er has become better, and they often make little jokes that they would not normally do.

"Honey, I'm a little nervous, very nervous... Will your brothers and sisters think I'm terrible? After all, we are really..."

Olivia began to worry again.

"Don't worry, my brother is not a normal person either. I called him back this time to help me share the firepower, so you can rest assured!"

"this………"

Olivia looked at Yatuo in surprise. Would someone really say that to their brother?

He also has a younger brother. Thanks to her, their family received a small sum of money from Yatuo and now lives a very comfortable life.

Yatuo gritted his teeth with some pain, and thought carefully. It seemed that his family's standards for choosing a spouse were quite strange, including his father Ross.

He was clearly a man who hated aristocrats, but in the end he married three aristocratic wives.

The same is true for his sister and brother...

The more I write, the more exhausted I feel. I knew I could probably achieve 8,000, if not 10,000 a day, but I saw that the update volume was only 210,000 last month.

Well, to be honest, long novels are really boring, especially for the author, who has personally experienced why there are so many old eunuchs.

I am about to start drawing up the timeline, and will probably write one plot per year later.

The completion year of my outline is the Battle of Marineford, but at this pace it will probably take more than a year to finish.

I have already started preparing for a new book. I will give the draft to the editor next month and then write the outline.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be Naruto. I plan to wait until I have written two more books and improved my writing skills before writing the original work.

I am a newbie, and I know myself.
