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

Chapter 234 Cheering Mona

"Sister, why is your body shaking?"

Lucas turned his head with a strange look on his face and looked at his sister. Annina was shaking all over and breathing rapidly.

Beside him, Annina, who was extremely excited, was watching the battle in front of her intently. Borsalino, who had the Nature-type Flash Fruit, was being chased and beaten by Zephyr, but even if he struggled to fight back, he could easily penetrate the newly built cloud platform below.

"Stupid brother, didn't you shake your legs? You are indeed the top powerhouse in the sea. I really want to have that kind of power!"

She responded casually to Lucas, who looked down at his legs which were shaking naturally and stopped talking.

Lucas was equally excited, but he was not as calm as his sister. The warlike cells in his body were ignited, and he urgently needed someone to distract himself.

In this way, he would bother his sister Annina from time to time, asking some seemingly nonsensical questions.

Not far away, Ozawa Ping was looking at his father with admiration. He had often heard his mother say how powerful his father was, but today was the first time he saw his father's power with his own eyes.

It was so powerful that he was so excited that he couldn't help but let his fruit run wild, and set the power displayed by Zephyr at this time as his own goal.

Beside him, Sengoku used his armament Haki to isolate Ze Ping's fruit ability, and looked at the next generation of the navy with satisfaction on his face.

With such a luxurious team, after Sakaski and Borsalino are officially promoted to generals, he can really consider launching another fierce attack on the New World.

As time passed, Borsalino finished the assessment in a miserable manner, which was far less impressive than Sakaski's previous performance.

But even so, his series of light moves made many people remember him.

The next person to appear is Long. After he and Zefa destroy another cloud platform, they will take the stage for the assessment with other students.

The assessment lasted until eight o'clock in the evening before it officially ended. The 20,000-word final draft was reduced to 2,000 words by Zefa.

The people of the sea have a new impression of the navy. Many young people have begun to admire the three most powerful people of the new generation and join the navy with this goal in mind.

The pirates, on the other hand, were in a state of panic, secretly lamenting that their hard-earned good days were about to pass, and they all rushed to seize the time to have fun and collect treasures and money.

Of course, there is also a group of unconvinced young pirates who want to learn the skills of Sakaski and others, and look forward to encountering them in the future.

In the East China Sea, in various Nasdaq orphanages, there are video telephone bugs sponsored free of charge by the Nasdaq family, shared by three or five orphanages.

Many orphans who saw Sakaski's performance had the idea of ​​joining the navy. Of course, they knew each other. After all, he was one of Ross's only two disciples and had a great reputation within the family.

The channels available for those leaving the orphanage include joining the navy.

"Wuhu, be free!"

Mona cheered in Barrett's little house, with Barrett packing up beside her.

Two weeks have passed since the end of the first naval elite training camp, and we have now officially entered the 1493rd year of the Haiyuan calendar.

A few days after returning to Cloud Island, Ross told Mona the good news, asking her to go out and play with Barrett. The expenses would be paid by her elder brother Yatuo, and the location would be decided by her and Barrett.

This news undoubtedly made Mona, who had been suppressed for a long time, very happy.

Soon after receiving the news, he rushed to find Barrett, pushing him to pack up as soon as possible and leave this broken island while there were still a few tourist ships in the port.

She has already thought about where the first stop will be, anywhere will do!

Not far away, Barrett had a smile on his face. The big backpack in his hand was already stuffed with things. He and Mona's spare clothes were packed in the big bag, separated by a piece of cloth.

The middle bag was filled with Mona's favorite snacks and some paper Baileys.

And the small bag contains a few special things.

For example, a broken pocket watch contains a photo covered by a broken lens.

He didn't know why he brought these unnecessary things with him. Maybe he wanted to take them out for a walk?
"Are you ready, Barrett? We have to get to the port quickly, otherwise if it's too late we won't be able to get out today!"

Mona stuck her head out to look at the sky outside the door. The sun had already started to set, around four or five o'clock.

She hurriedly urged Barrett to go, and she couldn't wait to lie on him, her hands gently around his neck, her head resting on her shoulders as she watched him pack his things.

"It's ready. Clothes, Bailey, snacks. Here, have a candy."

Barrett closed the backpack, lifted it with one hand, and peeled a candy with the other hand, placing it on the candy wrapper and handing it to Mona behind his shoulder.

This candy is not big and looks ordinary, but it is one of Barrett's favorite snacks.

Mona also likes sweets. It’s better to say that all children like sweet things.

She opened her mouth without hesitation. Barrett gently applied force with his palm, and the candy bounced up and then fell accurately into Mona's mouth.

"Mmm~ So sweet, just like how I feel right now~"

As Mona spoke, a little ghost appeared beside her and took out a candy from her small bag hanging on her body and peeled it.

She loosened one arm, picked up the candy and handed it to Barrett's mouth, saying:

"Try it too. Good mood should be shared!"

"Ah."

Barrett nodded and opened his mouth consciously, then let Mona pinch the candy between two fingers and gently place it on his tongue.

He closed his mouth and the candy melted in his mouth. The sweetness lingered on his taste buds, making him more motivated.

He stood up, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the outside of Cloud Island with Mona hanging on him.

When we arrived at the port, it was already crowded with many tourists boarding the ships in an orderly manner to return home.

Some members of the Nasdaq family were escorting a passenger ship in twos and threes. They were all the "old people" who did not follow Sakaski to the navy.

He stayed on Yun Island and did a job similar to that of a guard.

"Barrett, and Miss Mona, good night!"

An old captain greeted and saluted the two people who were walking over here, and the two young men beside him bowed to Mona and nodded with a smile.

The two of them are members of the family responsible for escorting the passenger ship.

"Hello, Brother Bodie, Hello, Brother Lada, and Mr. Captain, is there any room on your passenger ship? Barrett and I are going to leave Cloud Island and go outside."

Mona greeted her two brothers in the family very politely. They had known each other since childhood. After all, there were only so many people there at that time, and after a few years, they got to know almost everyone.

She is not an ordinary aristocratic daughter. Although her status and position are very high, she has not become alienated from her former brothers and sisters after growing up.

"Of course there is room Miss Mona, it would be my honor to give you a ride!"

The old captain nodded and agreed quickly after hearing Mona's purpose. No matter if there is a seat or not, as long as Mona asks, there must be a seat! And it must be the best seat!

After all, all of them rely on the port of Yundao for their livelihood. As the only daughter of the Nasdaq family, Mona must provide adequate service and curry favor with them.

"Mr. Ross agreed to let you go out? That's great, little Mona. Your brother Bodie and I escort the ship all year round. We know all the interesting islands in the East China Sea. If you want to go, you can discuss it with us directly."

Rada next to the old captain said happily, patted his chest, and pulled Bodie next to him to introduce himself.

Every family member knows about Mona's situation. They all try their best to be good to this sister whom they have watched grow up.

But without Ross's permission, they could only recommend some interesting places in Yun Island, or fun, beautiful and delicious food to each other when the other was bored.

Mona often took Barrett to stroll around the commercial district, and half of the credit should be attributed to them.

"Well! Are there any interesting islands on this cruise ship's voyage? We can get off directly when it stops."

Mona asked bluntly. After all, they were family, so she didn't care.

On the other side, Lada replied:
"The closest one should be the Kingdom of Goa. It's the most prosperous one among our East Sea noble circles. Even though we hate it, it's really nice to eat, drink and have fun there."

He said after briefly recalling the route of their passenger ship.

The prosperity of the Kingdom of Goa is well-known among the East China Sea nobles. The capital there is very clean, and adult entertainment is only open after 10 o'clock in the evening.

It can be said that it is very suitable for Mona to go there for a visit.

Of course, most of these people don't like that kind of place because of their childhood experiences or the experiences of other family members.

But they won't force others to hate, what is that called?

Lada recalled the words she had learned from a book some time ago. It seemed to be: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you? This should be the sentence, right?
Really, Mr. Ross's book is still as difficult to understand as ever. Although there are annotations in many places, those sentences are really difficult to use in the appropriate place.

"Yes, Miss Mona, that is the hometown of the navy hero Garp. The famous windmill village is on the edge of the Goa Kingdom island."

The old captain introduced them.

Here, Mona nodded and said:
"Well, what do you say, Barrett? How about we go to the Kingdom of Goa as our first stop?"

She was now sitting on Barrett's shoulders, talking with her head down, her calves swaying, one hand holding the other's hair and playing with it gently.

I have to say that Barrett's golden hair is very smooth and feels really good to touch.

"Wait, let me look at the map first."

He did not agree immediately, but took out a world map from his trouser pocket under Mona's curious gaze. There were red dots of unknown meaning in some places on the map.

Barrett first found the destination of the next stop, and then looked around him.

Seeing that it was far away from the nearest red dot, he nodded and said:

"Okay, it's up to you."

"what is this?"

Mona was very curious. Why hadn't he seen Barrett with this thing before? And why did Barrett agree so quickly? He looked a little hesitant when he just said "wait".

Barrett did not hide too much from Mona and said:
"Nothing, just some things that need attention. These are also some tasks that my father gave me. I can do them along the way."

"Task?"

Mona tilted her head, but did not let Barrett speak. Instead, she turned to the old captain and said:
"Then please arrange a seat for us, Captain. Please let me know when we arrive at the Kingdom of Goa. Thank you!"

Although she was a little curious about what kind of mission her father gave to Barrett, it was better not to ask about such things. It was enough for her to just travel around.

On the other side, the old captain felt a little regretful for not being able to eat the fresh melon, and then he said directly:

"No problem. We are expected to arrive at four o'clock tomorrow. Miss Mona, do you want to go in and rest first?"

"Sorry for the trouble, thank you."

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

East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa.

The structure here is similar to that of an ordinary kingdom. Although they are not a member of the World Government, their national strength is very strong.

The royal capital was filled with a prosperous atmosphere, the streets and alleys were extremely clean, and soon after dawn, groups of merchants began to set up stalls.

The fragrance drifted over a city wall and drifted behind a distant mountain.

This is a transit station for uncertain items, filled with garbage and filth. Its dilapidated body is hidden behind the prosperity, and no one knows about it.

A passenger ship was anchored at the port of the Kingdom of Goa.

Under the surprised eyes of passers-by, Mona walked down from the top sitting on Barrett's shoulders, holding a string of marshmallows in her hand.

Mona took a bite, then pinched out a piece and put it into Barrett's mouth, smiling like a little girl feeding a cute pet.

"Goodbye, brothers. Barrett and I are leaving first!"

After waving goodbye to Rada and the other person, Mona patted Barrett on the shoulder. The latter understood and took her towards the royal capital ahead.

Their first stop was not Windmill Village, Garp's hometown, but they planned to go to the prosperous royal capital to find good food and accommodation first.

Especially Mona, there was no place to take a shower on the passenger ship. She hadn't taken a shower for a day and now she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Robbery! Hand over all your money!"

"Oh!"

A gunshot rang out at the dock. A group of young masked men armed with guns robbed ordinary people and several nobles at the port.

There were more than twenty of them, forming a semicircle and surrounding a group of people.

"Soldiers, where are the soldiers!?"

"Why are there robbers at the port? Where did this unknown guy come from?"

"Damn it! I'm going to throw them all into jail and torture them severely. What a bummer!"

Some local nobles who were besieged were not afraid. They shouted and yelled in the crowd, not taking the group of people with guns seriously at all.

In their opinion, this group of robbers are just a bunch of mentally ill young men. Once the guards arrive, they will most likely be thrown into jail!
They are just a group of dying people, not worth their worry and fear.
