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

Chapter 91: Yixiao Still Needs to Grow
"I wasted more than half a day. I'm really sorry. I may have to keep Marshal Kong and the navy waiting for a long time. This is my fault."

In mid-air, two clouds were drifting forward in the darkness.

Yixiao felt very guilty because his selfishness caused others to wait longer. If it was just him, it would be fine, but he had to add to Ross's reputation, which was very wrong.

"It's okay, as long as the error is no more than two days, and I think this half day is worth it for me."

Ross shook his head and said indifferently.

He smiled without saying anything and just nodded to show that he understood.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the non-existent Halik Kingdom Island behind him.

After this incident, I believe the people there will have at least one or two years of stability, right?
As long as the nobles there are not stupid, they will be able to find out their relationship with the Nasdaq Orphanage and understand the meaning of their actions.

Moreover, they would have to go through a long period of internal strife because they had not buried the treasure in the kingdom deep enough so that they could find it by digging slowly.

Only the heart of an evil person can deal with an evil person. For this piece of cake, they can only fight each other and have no time to manage residential areas and slums, right?

"We smiled at each other. There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. You caused quite a mess before you left, but I've already cleaned up the mess for you."

"?"

Listening to Ross's words, he smiled and tilted his head to express his confusion.

Haven't I done a good enough job? How could there be a problem? Is there something wrong that I didn't notice?

Ross chuckled. At this moment, he was still too young. But it didn't matter. He would grow up in the days to come.

Yixiao is one year younger than Akainu. Although he and I are friends regardless of age difference, I have always thought of treating him as a student.

Different from Sakaski's apprenticeship, it was just a teacher who imparted ideas and conduct.

By the way, I'll take him to Yun Island to look after my house so I can have more time to go out and have fun.

"Do you know why there are so-called slums in almost all kingdoms? Yixiao, you should have heard of Fishman Island, right?

In Fishman Island, Fishman Street, which used to be a large orphanage, is actually a kind of slum. The supplies there are limited, and everything needs to be fought over, looted, etc. "

Ross said meaningfully, explaining the shortcomings of Yixiao:

“The complete civil unrest in the kingdom is a signal that the slums can expand their scope of competition. At that time, the residential areas next to them will suffer, and it will only bring more disasters!

The slums are not just for the poor. Those who live there are villains and criminals who are suppressed by the army, far more than ordinary people! The truly powerless are actually a minority!"

Although Yixiao's eyes were bandaged, Ross could still see surprise and confusion on his face, as well as confusion about himself.

He had visited many kingdoms, but he had never considered such things. He instinctively believed that the slums were places where separation, regret, sorrow, pain, etc. gathered.

There was no sign of "evil" at all.

In other words, this evil was hidden too deeply, and under the deception of appearance and sight, Yixiao chose to filter it out instinctively.

"Can people who see and hear the color of the sky also be deceived?"

"Yes, you can try to sense my presence, smile."

Ross smiled, then calmly retracted his Observation Haki to his own body surface and asked:

"Do you think I am on your left or on your right?"

"left?"

“It’s on the right!”

Ross said, reaching out and touching Yixiao's right shoulder.

Yixiao was stunned. Even when he used his full Observation Haki, Ross was clearly on his left! He didn't even move!
"It's an advanced use of Observation Haki. Conqueror Haki can also do it, and it's easier. You can call it Observation Killing."

Ross explained, and then praised Yixiao generously:

"With your talent, if you follow me and learn, you will hopefully master this technique earlier than me. People like us have unparalleled talent in observation Haki!"

"Thank you, but it's not certain yet, Mr. Ross. It's hard for me to immerse myself in Cloud Island."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to seeing that your heart is still firm."

Ross smiled meaningfully.

In the days to come, you will have to witness the darkest scene in the world. When that time comes, will you be able to hold on to your dream?
Is to choose to be like me, to do good deeds on the ocean and protect the small boat?

Or choose to stay in the Navy and practice the justice and righteousness that you have always upheld!
As a young person, you probably can't calm down, right?

Along the way, Ross and Yixiao chatted, or remained silent, as they headed towards the Navy Headquarters.

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

In the first half of the Grand Line, on a small island near the Calm Belt, there was an unknown experimental base. "Hey, what's your name?"

"..."

"My name is Kaido, are you interested in escaping with me?"

"..."

"Oh, this is so boring. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"

"..."

The young man with black wings on his back silently glanced at the big fool beside him and felt that it was a bit noisy.

But... escaping? Is it really possible? Flying up into the sky again, running towards freedom once again, can it really be done?
He raised his head and looked towards the dim dungeon-like laboratory. Although the tubes on his body were not chains, they trapped him inside and made him unable to move!

"Hey, that old bastard Ross, I'm going to take revenge on him sooner or later!"

Kaido muttered to himself, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

If that old B Dengzi hadn't used his ultimate skill to kill him instantly when he wasn't paying attention, he wouldn't have fallen in that place like a dead dog.

Even the iconic title of Azure Dragon was changed to the humiliating name of “Hundred Beasts”!
He would never acknowledge this kind of title!

When he escapes, he will definitely take back his former title from Ross!
And the first step is to escape from this damn cage!
"Wooo-woo-woo! Woo-woo-woo-woo!"

Unruly laughter echoed, and the seed of ambition took root and sprouted, gradually growing into a towering tree.

Kaido has a feeling that when he faces Ross again, he will gain incredible power.

…………

A few days later, at the Navy Headquarters.

"Have you heard, Sakaski? Uncle Ross from Cloud Island is coming to the Navy, and he's bringing a very powerful guy with him!"

"Is it Yixiao? He is indeed a very powerful guy. Just from the newspaper of that birdman Morgause, we can see that he is enough to destroy a palace just by raising his sword."

"Wow, I really envy these devil fruit users! I heard from my dad that Rose can even defeat him with his ability even though he hasn't reached that level yet.

Now there is a new rookie, not to mention that guy Borsalino, who is not even half as handsome as me, but he has gained quite a lot of popularity thanks to his fruit, ah~~"

In the family area of ​​the Navy Headquarters, Long was bent over with his arms hanging down like a monkey, and there seemed to be a dark cloud over his head.

Sakaski, who was standing next to him, was smoking a cigar and didn't reply.

He felt that whether there was a fruit or not would not have much impact on the growth of his strength.

Admiral Zephyr and Vice Admiral Garp are the best examples. Didn't they not eat the fruit? The power of domineering is not inferior to the strange devil fruit.

However, although he thought so in his mind, didn't Sakaski wish in his heart that he had a handsome fruit?
Just like Long said, being handsome is something that is really hard to smooth out from deep within, without being obsessed with it or caring about it.

The fiery sunset clouds of his childhood are still engraved in his mind. They were the guardian angel that protected him from the gloom since childhood, as handsome as the heroes in the movies.

He also wanted to be that kind of hero, to illuminate the way forward for everyone with his blazing flames, and to bring hope for everyone towards tomorrow with his warm light.

"Rather than gossiping about this, I'm more worried about the instructor of our first elite training camp. I think it's your father, Garp, who will be the instructor?"

Sakaski just followed the crowd. After all, this was the highest possibility. Otherwise, if their instructor was just an ordinary lieutenant general, it would be more efficient to let them go to the new world to fight with the strong.

The news that Zhan Guo is the next admiral of the navy is already known to everyone, and his busy official duties make it impossible for him to get away.

Then the final answer can only be the idle Mr. Cap.

"My dad! Seriously???"

Long's exaggerated facial expression suddenly appeared in front of Sakaski. He didn't know how he twisted his body like a twist. He was shocked:
"Then I might as well quit. Sakaski, listen to my buddy's advice and don't join that kind of training camp. Although no one will die, it's almost as bad as dying every day!"

"Not necessarily. I just heard it from others. Besides, isn't my master coming soon? Maybe he will lead us."

Sakaski forced a smile, although it looked a little scary when he was smoking.

He missed his previous life very much. He could improve his physical fitness just by staying in the clouds. Although this method was not a long-term solution, its effect would be minimal once a certain limit was reached.

The body of a general would not be affected by the vibrations of tickling, and even most lieutenant generals with good physical fitness would not be affected.

Their bodies have long surpassed the scope of humans. Only by damaging their bodies time and time again in fights and allowing them to be repaired can they achieve better growth.

The power of fruits has limits!
Even for a developer like Ross, Sakaski only got one sentence when he asked, a self-deprecating sentence:
"This sea is dominated by only dominance, standing above everything else!"

OK, more than 19,600 words, almost finished, I am exhausted.
