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

Chapter 3: Chi-chan, take off your conservative coat!
"Take your sister to find your mother. I will take Sakaski to get familiar with this home first."

Without relying on her too much, Ross teased his daughter for a while and then put her down and gave instructions to his two sons.

Alexander and Atuo are both very sensible. They were both born on a ship. They have seen strong winds and waves at a young age and are mentally precocious.

Without staying too long, they left with their sister Mona.

"Come on, Sakaski. I'll take you to get familiar with this place first. After joining this big family, everyone needs to take responsibility."

Ross said, putting his hand on Sakaski's shoulder and guiding him to move on the main ship:

"Your responsibility is to become stronger and protect my weak family members when I'm not around. Now, you need to get to know your family members better."

After that, Sakaski listened to Ross's introduction in silence. The more he listened, the heavier his heart felt.

This home is made up of three large ships. It is called a home, but it is more like an orphanage moving on the sea.

The youngest orphan here is only seven years old and the oldest is sixteen years old. They were all adopted by Ross while traveling around the world.

According to Master Ross, he initially drifted aimlessly alone on a small sailboat, practicing and cultivating along the way.

Everything changed after a trip to a country that was not a member of the World Government.

He didn't want to mention that story. Sakaski only knew that from then on, his master's wife followed him with a large ship, some personal soldiers, and some orphans who could not take care of themselves.

It sounds a bit magical, but these three large ships are actually the dowries of the three mistresses, all of whom are princesses of the kingdom or daughters of nobles.

A hero saving a beautiful girl may be old-fashioned, but in the world of pirates, on this sea that is filled with chaos every day, how many men are willing to be this hero?

Not to mention a gentle man like the Master, he is almost the ideal type for most women on the sea!
In the following years, as Master Ross's children were gradually born, the fleet became more and more like a family, and all the orphans began to call each other brothers and sisters.

They come from all over the world and are all adopted orphans.

Under the arrangement of Master Ross, they all did their work to the best of their ability, and some talented children received training to serve as the fleet's guards.

Their usual source of supplies is to work for the navy and exchange the heads of pirates for bounties. Those who have been harmed by pirates will not show any mercy!

Master Ross is like a competent father. He lets his children see blood but will not be overly indulgent or let them get hurt.

After every battle, he would act as a spiritual mentor to enlighten them so that their young hearts would not be completely engulfed by hatred and blood.

Every time he passed by an island where a kingdom existed, he would give out pocket money so that these children could get entertainment satisfaction.

Walking on the deck, Sakaski listened to what Master Ross said and looked at the frequent gazes coming his way.

A small number of middle-aged followers followed with respect.

And those children came with redemption.

But the more this happened, the angrier Sakaski became!

Hundreds of pairs of eyes filled with redemption were like hundreds of sharp blades, piercing Sakaski's heart fiercely, but at the same time, they intertwined with each other like cotton-padded clothes to form an iron wall.

What is behind these redemptions?
Sakaski walked beside Ross, breathing heavily. He didn't dare to think about whether he was the most miserable one in the family, as he had experienced the murder of his relatives and the massacre of his hometown.

He didn't dare to guess...

"Pirates, all of you should die!"

The short journey finally stopped at the bow. Facing the sea breeze, Sakaski gritted his teeth and uttered a few words, his face furrowed with frown that he could no longer suppress!

"Oh!"

With his fists clenched, he punched hard on the railing inlaid with iron edges.

"Tick, tick, tick." Blood dripped down the deformed iron-edged wooden pole, making an invisible ticking sound.

"Yeah, but Sakaski, do you understand? Not all pirates deserve to die."

Ross's words made Sakaski a little unbelievable, but he didn't say anything, just silently waiting for the next step:

"Do you know where the garbage ends up?"

“A garbage dump.”

"and then?"

Holding the railing, Ross planned to teach Akainu a lesson in the future. Perhaps because of himself, he would become more popular within the navy.

In his opinion, the original Sakaski has many shortcomings, which may be inseparable from his personal thoughts and experiences.

But there is no doubt that he, Sakaski, is a marshal who deserves a better one! All he lacks is ideological guidance!

And he doesn't mind acting as this teacher!

"I'm asking you, Sakaski, do you know how garbage is disposed of? You don't need to go into detail, just give some examples you know."

"They are piled up in one place and then disposed of together. I have seen people dumping them into the sea or cremating them in batches."

Sakaski said doubtfully, waiting calmly for what was to come. He knew that what Master Ross was going to teach him was not ordinary stuff.

Ross smiled and then asked:

"So, all garbage needs to be eliminated? What else can we do with empty wine bottles?"

Sakaski lowered his head and began to think about the meaning of this sentence.

What else can you do with an empty bottle? A message in a bottle floating on the sea! Or a weapon to swing at your enemies!

He gradually had an idea, but he still couldn't grasp the key. According to his thinking, wasn't this just reforming the pirates? Could those scumbags be allowed to be reformed? !

But... that's probably not what Master Ross meant.

Sakaski looked up and glanced at Ross, seeking an answer.

"Scumbags don't need reform!"

As if he had seen through Sakaski's thoughts, Ross confirmed his thoughts and slowly said the answer:

"Similarly, scumbags don't need thoughts. They just take an empty bottle from the garbage dump, fill it with gunpowder, hang a fuse, ignite it, throw it away, and finally-"

Ross made an exaggerated gesture, opened his arms to the sea breeze, and said:
"Bang!!!"

Looking at Sakaski with a gleam in his eyes, Ross bent down and said:
"This is called recycling, Sakaski. You have to understand that there is no end to killing people! There is no need to explain the cruelty of pirates. What you have to do is to be even more cruel than this, or to abandon morality and humanity!"

"To stop killing with killing, if killing is endless, the descendants may be endless!"

"To stop violence with violence, and violence will never end, the harm it causes is only one!"

"Tell me Sakaski, how do you think the trash should be dealt with?!"

The sea breeze blows time gently.

Ross looked down at the silent Sakaski, and his observation color keenly caught the throbbing deep in his heart.

Needless to say, he already had the answer.

The conservative Aka-chan has become a thing of the past, and the next to appear is the fully-formed smart guy - Sakaski!
