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

Chapter 226 The Best Childhood
"Ya-ah!"

"Ahahaha, Robin's barking is awesome. Come on, let grandpa take you to find some big fish to play with, okay?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Robin was held in Rose's arms and clapped his hands, clapping his two little hands together hard and laughing happily.

Robin's development speed is exceptionally fast. She can utter various simple syllables in just over twenty days. If she becomes proficient in two more days, she may be able to clearly pronounce the word "grandfather".

Later, Yatuo helplessly hugged Olivia and complained:

"Damn you, old man. That's obviously my daughter. Now that she's become close to grandpa, she doesn't even care about me as her father anymore. Really? If you want to have fun, just give birth to a seventh child..."

"My parents were both students of Dr. Clover. At that time, the doctor was very strict in teaching them, but when it came to me, he was very patient and indulgent. I don't know if it's the same now."

Olivia's snow-white robe wrapped half of Yatuo's face, and memories emerged in her eyes.

But Yatuo doesn't buy it. This is his first time being a father. Children are definitely the most fun when they are young... ahem, when they need care the most, he, as a father, should be the first in their children's hearts!
Just like Rose will always be the most solid support and the most gentle harbor in his heart.

Maybe I would do something wrong, but my father would always make it right. He would not only warn me sternly, but also silently watch me become better.

"By the way, Atuo, when are we going to get married? Have father and mother decided yet?"

Olivia asked nervously, her tone cautious.

Yatuo held Olivia in his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her, then said with certainty:
"It's already been scheduled. It will be at the beginning of the new year, on the first day of the year 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar. But there won't be too many people coming, just some family members. The wedding may not be too big. I'm a little sorry about that..."

"It's okay, Atuo. Being able to officially marry you is my greatest happiness. Maybe the doctor is right. Finding a place to read quietly is also a good choice."

Olivia said with relief that being able to hold a wedding with Yatuo proved that Ross and several mothers had officially accepted her.

Yatuo looked up at Olivia with some distress. He always felt that such a small wedding was unfair to Olivia, and even more so to his own abilities.

But there was nothing he could do, this was his father's decision. He wanted to continue to fight for it, but all he got was a silent shake of the head.

He understood that perhaps this wedding was not simple, and it would be best if the fewest people knew about it the better.

"I swear, Olivia, I will only love you in my life."

"I am also Atuo. Time will remember our love. History may fade, but our will will never fade."

"Big—fish! Big—fish!"

Robin and Rose have appeared on the sea not far from Cloud Island. He is sitting on the clouds holding his granddaughter. There are countless sea beasts under the sea, and occasionally small sea kings can be seen.

Maybe it was because her grandfather was by her side, or maybe it was because she was young and fearless, Robin did not feel any fear or terror. Curiosity prompted the young girl to break free from her grandfather's restraints and want to get close to those strange creatures.

"No, no, you can't do that, little Robin. This is very dangerous! Come on, wait for grandpa to catch one for you to play with, okay?"

Ross did not feel annoyed by this. Instead, he laughed and coaxed Robin. Under his comfort, Robin miraculously stopped moving and leaned on his grandfather's chest, his two little hands constantly patting the surroundings, looking extremely excited.

In response, Ross smiled happily. To him, nothing could soothe his soul more than an obedient granddaughter.

Then, Ross stretched out his hand and waved a twisted line. It was thrown out out of thin air and randomly selected a prettier sea king under the sea.

Fishing without bait depends entirely on strength and eyesight!
Soon, Ross picked out a small sea kingfisher, whose lower body was a shark tail and the upper body was similar to that of a crocodile, with a hammer head at the front, no fins on the back, and a total of four fins on both sides.

The sea king that was originally hunting was tied up tightly with a confused look on its face. The cloud rope, which seemed to be slightly elastic, was unusually solid. The dark armament color quickly covered it, instantly restricting all its weapons.

"Pfft!"

The big fish came out of the water, and the small sea king wanted to twist its body and struggle, but it was unable to do so in front of the complicated cloud rope. Its pair of big, round eyes were fixed on the male creature holding the rope.

In his arms he held a cub that was extremely curious about him.

"keihahaha, big—fish!"

Robin stretched out her hands, laughed, and kept urging Rose. She looked like she really wanted to touch the skin of the big fish with her own hands.

Ross did not disappoint his granddaughter. He simply reached out and pulled the entire Sea King over. Then, just in case, he reinforced the cloud rope with two more circles of armed color, completely calming down this giant creature that was nearly 100 meters long.

"Well!"

Robin's little hand touched the slippery skin of the sea king, which felt a little rough, but she didn't care. Instead, she happily patted the skin of the sea king with her hand, making a crisp sound.

But soon, a touch of pain came, Robin looked down at his red palms, and cried out in grievance:
“Aaaaaah~ Aaaaah~”

She was unable to utter accurate words while crying, and could only look up at her grandfather with tearful eyes.

Ross certainly understood what his granddaughter meant, so he quickly comforted her:

"Does it hurt? Come on, come on, let grandpa help you blow it, okay? Let's not play with the big fish, how about we watch his performance?"

As he spoke, Ross pushed Aquaman away, untied the rope and tied him to the cloud under his feet, then reached out and held Robin's hands and blew on them with his mouth.

Although Robin still felt some pain, he stopped crying. Instead, he nodded towards Ross and then withdrew his hand to continue playing.

What else can Ross, as a grandfather, do? Of course he has to pamper his granddaughter.

Quickly, he pulled up the rope again, untied most of the ropes wrapped around the sea king, and threw it far into the air.

But it did not fall. Instead, a thin mist rose around it, and huge sea clouds gathered in the air until they grew larger and larger, forming a floating cube that was two to three thousand meters long and wide and five to six hundred meters high.

But the sea clouds were not dense, and the situation inside could be clearly seen from the side. At this time, the small sea kings were swimming inside being controlled by Ross, but their struggling bodies seemed a little out of place.

But what does a kid know? Robin just thinks his grandfather is amazing and the show is great!

"Clap clap clap!"

She clapped happily. "Wooooooaaaah!"

Then he cried because of the pain.

Just to watch the show, she didn't cry loudly, but kept her eyes open, crying and sobbing, and laughing from time to time in the midst of crying, which was very magical.

"Hey, there's something even more amazing, little Robin. What's so interesting about a big fish? If you want to see something, just look at a group of fish!"

Ross used a cloud rope to fix Robin to his chest, and put her in a bag-like thing. He opened his two hands and the cloud rope came out, one divided into two, two divided into three, three divided into ten, and then hundreds!

The rope can accurately catch various fish under the sea surface according to its thickness, including swimming fish, sea beasts and even two small sea kings.

They were manipulated and thrown into the sea cloud cube in mid-air, like performers on a stage, but the only audience was little Robin.

A chase between big fish and small fish began, but there was no bloodiness in this show. Under Ross's control, the small fishes avoided the pursuit again and again in a thrilling way.

Robin laughed so hard watching this exciting scene that he even forgot the pain from clapping.

From time to time, he would pull Ross's neck with one hand and point to some scenes in the distance with the other hand. He wanted to say something but could only babbling, as if reminding his grandfather of the wonderful scenes in the performance.

"Crack!"

In the distance, an albatross recorded these scenes clearly, muttering to itself as it recorded them:
"Oh, luckily I didn't leave Cloud Island in a hurry, otherwise I would have missed such a heartwarming scene. The scenes in the past few days are enough for me to publish three issues of newspapers!"

It was Morgause! He had never left Cloud Island, but with Rose's tacit consent, he recorded some things here, including the interactions and play between Rose and her granddaughter Robin.

It had originally planned to leave and return to the newspaper office today, but it didn't expect to almost miss this scene.

This must be the best show on the ocean, right? With such a grandfather, Robin may be one of the happiest children in the entire ocean.

While recording, Morgans couldn't help but think back to his childhood. Why did he want to become famous and spread all the facts?

Ah, maybe it was something that happened to him in the past, or maybe it was an old newspaper that a kind person gave him?

Who knows!

In the distance, a small boat happened to be sailing on this sea area. Alexander just looked at the scene in the distance and confirmed who did it. He said:

"Dad is teasing little Robin. Really, why didn't I get this treatment when I was a kid? Dad is so partial."

"Is that Mr. Ross? He is so powerful. Those small sea kings are no different from toys in his hands. Are these the people who stand at the top of the world?"

Jinbei was sighing on the side. They just happened to leave Cloud Island today, but they didn't expect to encounter this scene in the afternoon.

From a distance, it looked like hundreds of fish of all sizes were performing there, and the small sea kings were too large to be ignored.

Enel showed an envious and longing look on his face, but in the end he said nothing and just watched silently.

Mihawk wiped the knife in his hand. He had asked Rayleigh, a swordsman, to show him a sword.

The air pressure from that one knife alone was enough to split hundreds of meters of sea, but compared to the scene ahead, what were hundreds of meters of sea?
He must become stronger, starting from splitting the stage Ross casually built! Until he reaches Roger's realm of great swordsmanship! Then he keeps moving forward!
"Believe me, Jinbe. My father has personally praised your talent. One day you will become as powerful as my father is now!"

"Can I?"

"Of course! Otherwise, would Dad allow me to go out to find you so early? Of course it's because you are very powerful and can protect me! The way you killed everyone was so cool!"

"Yes! I will become strong, strong enough to protect you and even the entire Fishman Island!"

Jinbei set his own goal, he wanted to become as strong as Ataku's father, that way, even without relying on anyone, he could hold the things he wanted to protect firmly in his hands!

Alexander patted his friend's arm, then gave an order:
"Let's go, next stop is the Navy Headquarters! Then I'll let you experience the fun stuff my brother has created!"

"Ohhh! Let's go to the Marine Headquarters!"

"Raise the sails and pull the flags! Set sail!"

The boat carried the small team to a new direction, and perhaps when they met again, they would go to the most dangerous new world for their final adventure.

On the other side, Ross seemed to notice something and looked at the small boat sailing on the sea.

With a thought, the waves behind the boat magically helped them move forward. The sea kings and sea beasts around them seemed to be frightened and fled in all directions without Jinbei going into the sea to clear a path.

“Ahhh~ Ahhh~”

After a long time, little Robin seemed to be tired of playing. After the excitement, he felt sleepy. His eyelids began to droop, and the movement of his little hands clapping decreased significantly.

Ross did not rush to coax her to sleep, but remained as he was until little Robin fell asleep herself, then he untied the sea fish, sea beasts and sea kings and set them free.

The clouds on the sea surface collapsed naturally as if they had lost their power and merged into the sea.

Ross carefully carried Robin in his arms and took her back to Cloud Island. As the sun set, a hint of yellow and white appeared on the horizon. The scenery of sunrise and sunset over the sea was breathtakingly beautiful.

About half an hour later, Ross returned to Cloud Island carrying the sleeping Robin. However, as soon as he got home, Tokos, who received the news, immediately ran over and met him at the edge of the residence.

Of course, Tokos considered the possibility that little Robin had fallen asleep, so he specially called Yatuo and Olivia over.

Upon seeing this, Ross reluctantly returned Robin to his son and his friends, and then they split into two groups and followed Tokos into the residence.

"Why are you in such a hurry? This is not your style, Tokos."

"Master Ross, you really can't blame me for this. This matter is really too bizarre! Did you know that shortly after you left, a woman appeared out of nowhere in Rossburg and was almost slapped to death by Barrett!"

"Appearing out of thin air?!"

Now it was Ross' turn to be confused. He immediately decided that he was a devil fruit user, then screened the possibilities in his mind. While thinking, he asked:
"Please be more specific, Tokos."

"Okay, sir. That's a woman who claims to be from Wano Country and has the ability to teleport. She accidentally got here and is now being watched closely by Barrett. We'll wait for you to come back before making a decision."
