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

Chapter 233 The sea doesn’t need a second Whitebeard!
"Navy, Nasdaq, Ross, Sakaski..."

The Five Elder Stars high in the sky gathered in a seemingly small conference room, where a small video Den Den Mushi was broadcasting a live broadcast from the Live Den Den Mushi.

“Do you need some control?”

"No need, it doesn't matter."

"What about that fruit? It ran away again! And the Nasdaq clan is now on par with the D clan. Although their philosophies are different, they seem to be protecting the same thing."

"Unanimous? Not necessarily. Ross just wants to take care of his little piece of land. It's just a Sakaski and a talented Barrett.

Since Ross doesn't want to hide, then we don't need to worry, right?"

"You know, I'm not worried about him..."

"What's the difference? His family is his Achilles' heel, just like us, but that guy is different, he is very free... hehe."

Several people were discussing in confusion, not mentioning any sensitive topics. Soon after, they seemed to have confirmed something and waved casually.

The CP master hidden in the dark showed up and moved away the live broadcast of the film and television telephone bug, leaving the three old men there to close their eyes and rest.

The light shone through the wall that looked like glass, and only five strange dark shadows floated on the ground where the sunlight could reach, looking extremely distorted.

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

"Life will be hard for pirates from now on~~"

On a giant whale ship in the New World, a huge video telephone bug was broadcasting the navy's public live broadcast. The blond man with a white beard was looking at Sakaski, who was only in his twenties, and sighed.

Listening to the words deliberately spread by Ross and Zefa, he looked around at the group of little guys who were immersed in the battle scenes, and felt a little relieved.

"Hey, Bai Xiaoji, why are you like this? You look so depressed! Do you want me to cook you a bowl of oden? Eating something delicious will make all your worries go away!"

On the side, Kozuki Oden could clearly sense the emotional fluctuations emanating from Newgate. It was not because of his outstanding observation Haki, but because Newgate had no intention of hiding it at all.

He had finally gotten on this ship, and he didn't want to see his benefactor fall. He didn't want to go back to that boring Wano Country!
Although Kozuki Oden did not join, fate seemed to be predetermined. Kozuki Oden still got on Newgate's ship by saving people, and the people he saved were just a group of children in distress.

They were fleeing on a slave ship, and the pirates on board chose not to use force in order to ensure the safety of the cargo, which gave the children a chance to call for help.

Kozuki Oden, who was hanging on the iron chain at the stern of the ship, did not hesitate at all. Even if he just held on a little longer, he would be able to fulfill the bet he made with Whitebeard.

He rescued the boatload of children and started his adventure with Newgate as he wished. The children were also properly sent to a mysterious isolated island.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Naturally, Kozuki Oden's words could not be hidden from the others present. When it came to Newgate, people like Marco, who were still teenagers or even passionate, focused their attention and showed the most urgent concern for Newgate.

Although Newgate did not gain much from Ross that year, he still gained a lot, at least in educating his sons.

He no longer blindly protected them. He understood that he could not keep them safe and secure for the rest of their lives, so he could only learn to protect himself.

But it is precisely because of this behavior that Marco and others' feelings for their father have become deeper.

"Nothing, just some emotion. A few years or even more than ten years ago, this sea was still dominated by pirates. But it didn't take long for those navy monsters to grow up, and the days of the latecomers became difficult."

At this moment, Newgate was not as high-spirited as Ross remembered. Instead, his eyes were filled with fatigue and thought.

Ever since Shiqi handed him the newspaper that changed his mind, he had been thinking about a question.

Home and family, can you really bear the title of pirate for the rest of your life?

In other words, can they carry this title?

Even though their behavior was restrained by themselves, the money of the people was returned in full, and the money of the nobles was divided into 30% and 70%.

Some even intentionally send some children who have no ambition to live here to their hometown.

It can be said that he is a thief in name, but he does not act like a thief. He has an aggressive appearance, but a heart that does not bully the weak.

He has an ugly heart that can rob other gangs, but he also has a gentle appearance that can be kind to his family and ordinary people.

There is a substantial difference between them and real pirates!

But that's not enough!

He had once approached Ross for this.

But what did Ross say at the beginning?

"Since you are a pirate, you should teach them how to be a good pirate, otherwise what happens in the future will only make you regret it."

"Don't continue to adopt those orphans. It's not good for anyone."

Newgate didn't understand why Ross said that, but he didn't ask further and chose to talk about some other issues.

For example, how to allow an adopted child to support himself and live a decent life after not following the old path of becoming a pirate.

He got some answers that were unimaginable before, and he was very grateful to Ross for that. Although there were less than a thousand people on his ship, they were all children who were truly willing to embark on the path of pirates.

Beside Newgate, Marco and others couldn't understand why their father cared about the so-called "juniors", so they just lowered their heads and began to think.

Seeing this, Newgate shook his head and did not disturb him.

He already understood why Ross said that.

First: Thieves are thieves. No matter how well they do things, they cannot get rid of this layer of skin. Only by hiding their identities can they live a peaceful life.

However, this is not very realistic. Only retired old guys in the New World would think so! Which pirate who has made it all the way to the New World would be willing to give up? Not to mention Newgate who has the domineering aura.

Second: The situation in the New World cannot support Newgate’s development and vision. The cost of adopting those orphans is very high!
Even Ross had to spend half of his money on farming and the other half on spending money to support such a large orphanage community.

He was actually no different from Newgate in the early days. Both had money, and raising a hundred or so children was definitely a piece of cake.

What happens next? This is a topic that can never be avoided. Newgate can do nothing, so isn't it just robbing and occupying? If he occupies, the children he protects will also be labeled.

This is fundamentally different from the flag given to the Dragon Palace in the original book! After all, he is responsible for the food, clothing and education of those children.

No one can guarantee that they won’t be the next pirates!
What the ocean lacks the least is cheap biological fathers and expensive stepfathers!

If those children accept Newgate's favor, the chance of them becoming ungrateful people is really one in a million.

What about robbing? You have no choice but to rob with everyone else. There is no other way.

But Newgate was unwilling to give up!

He had never been a father before. Because of his experiences at a young age, he just subconsciously understood that a father should protect his son who has not yet grown up, because that's how he imagined himself having a father!

But the appearance of Ross made him understand what a father should do.

It’s not about protecting your children, but about letting them grow up and protect themselves.

But this is much more difficult than asking him to protect them!
And this is just one of the responsibilities a father bears...

The heavy and invisible pressure almost bent his spine, but his belief became more and more firm and stubborn, and his domineering aura was much stronger than before.

The most important thing to protect his family is strength! He can't give up the most important thing for some things, and even let the burden become his motivation.

This is the instinctive desire for power of the powerful generals, or in other words, their dreams need a stronger force to support them, thus driving their bodies to accept, adapt, change, integrate, and go one step further!
"Marco, tell me, when you have a family, can you stay at home and be a husband?"

Suddenly, Newgate asked a question in a low voice. The question was so unreasonable that Marco and others who were still thinking about it looked confused.

What on earth is Dad saying? Why does he look so gloomy and haggard during the live broadcast? He is totally different from his usual domineering appearance!

Who is he? He is the legendary pirate, Whitebeard Newgate, who once dominated the New World!

A legend who can go head-to-head with admirals and even marshals!

But what was he afraid of? As the first batch of "sons", Marco and others could sense something from Newgate's undisguised emotions.

Dad, he seemed to be worried about them, afraid for their...future? Maybe not quite right, but close enough.

"I... I don't know. I haven't thought about it. I feel like it's good to be with my dad. Besides, I have so many brothers around. Isn't it much easier than dealing with women?"

Joz touched his head and said from the bottom of his heart that he really felt so.

woman?

He knew too well what kind of person he was, so he should not harm his offspring, lest they become like his biological father...

Meeting his godfather Newgate was the luckiest thing in his life.

As Joz spoke his mind, most people looked at Newgate, then nodded, agreeing with what Joz said, and that their own choices were similar.

Even if you feel lonely, you can always spend money to go to the amusement park to have some fun. That thing is a formal and legal organization recognized by the world government. Whether it is open or not depends entirely on the wishes of those kings and forces.

It is really rare on the ocean to find someone as resolute in resisting as Ross.

This method is much easier than dating a girl and starting a family. They don't have too many aspirations, and providing for Newgate in his old age is one of them, or even the only one.

Newgate's changed educational method has made them grow a lot. They are no longer children protected by their parents.

"I think so. After all, we will be fathers by then, right? We can't let our children live like us, relying entirely on luck."

Marco looked at everyone and said, although he didn't know why his father asked this, this was probably the answer he wanted, right?

Regardless of whether or not I will get married and start a family in the future, I should at least make my dad happy now, right?
After hearing Marco and Joz's answers, Newgate remained silent. Looking at the children he adopted, he truly envied Ross.

If my experience had been better, perhaps I would have been the next Ross?
"Gulala, watch the live broadcast! Don't think about those things anymore. It's still early, and I can still be strong for decades!"

Whitebeard suddenly laughed, which was uncharacteristic of him, and asked everyone to watch the duel between Zephyr and Borsalino on the screen. The struggle in his eyes was suppressed well by him.

He wanted to disband the Whitebeard Pirates and let these children who already had some abilities return to the sea to pursue what they really wanted.

If the target is too small, even the navy will not be able to find their traces. Will they live in peace? And the price is actually very simple?
But, he can't, at least not now, because the children now still need to rely on him as a father. They have indeed grown a lot, but in the new world, perhaps only Marco and a few others can still make it after they get out.

Wait a little longer. The young eagle will eventually fly high, but not now. Waiting until then should be the last thing he, as a father, can do for his child.

A dozen years later, he will be a remnant of the old era, and the new world will not have a ship that can carry him!
But as a remnant of the party, he can still turn the rudder of the ship and send a group of children with tragic fates onto a bright road, allowing them to live happily on this cruel sea!
Just like when he left his hometown with some friends and became a pirate, it was exactly the same...

His misfortune does not need to be experienced again by another child! This is his dream and the reason why he wants to have a family!

Many people know that he likes to give money to his hometown, and Marco and others know it very well.

But perhaps what they don’t know is that he just doesn’t want his hometown to produce another person exactly like him—“White Beard”.

But now, he is more greedy...

"Bai Xiaoji, although I don't know what you are thinking, you are definitely a man of integrity!"

For some reason, Kozuki Oden's heart started beating rapidly, as if he was infected by Newgate's inner feelings, or something else.

His eyes were filled with tears at this moment, and he hugged Newgate with his whole body, making the latter look ugly and distorted.

But he did not push away the rude Oden. This guy seemed to be able to feel his heart. It was a special intuition.

There is no better touch than recognition and care.

Although he was disgusted, he did not hate the feeling.
