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

Chapter 102 The Corner is Broken
Two days later.

West Sea, Kratie Kingdom.

Located in the center of the West Sea, it is an ordinary member country of the World Government and has only been a member for a few years.

It's the same as the other kingdoms, but not too bad.

Apart from the outermost villages and some island villages supporting him, the interior is the usual residential area and central area, as well as the "unspeakable terminal" piled in the distance.

However, when Ross arrived here, he could still feel the misery of the people here, and it seemed that life was getting worse.

I believe that it won’t be long before so-called slums will be created to vent the violence in their hearts and to “imprison” those uncontrollable factors?

"Mr. Ross!"

Thomas had been waiting at the Kingdom Port. The Navy's 134th Division was located nearby. It was a rare division base built directly on the island of a member state.

He looked at the arrival of Ross and the other three with joy on his face. After all, he was also a member of the Nasdaq family.

It’s just a pity that he was not selected to participate in the first elite training camp. He may have to wait until the second or third session.

"Is that Thomas? Are you okay here?"

Ross walked in and asked, with Long behind him holding Jhin and walking towards them. Borsalino looked a little lazy, but much more energetic than usual.

Thomas was a little excited. He didn't expect that Mr. Ross knew him and could call out his name accurately. He said:
"Of course, everything in the navy is good, but I think home is better. Here I have food, drink, and salary, and I can kill pirates when I have nothing to do, but I don't have the happiness I had at home before."

Thomas seemed a little shy when he spoke, like a child who rarely chatted with his elders. Many Marines around him looked at him with a little shock.

Major Thomas is not usually like this! Every time he hears news about pirates, he gets crazy and can't wait to lead his troops to attack. Why is it that today...

"Then try to date a girl or something. If I remember correctly, you are almost twenty-five years old, right?"

Ross smiled and patted Thomas on the shoulder. His words made the innocent boy blush. He added:

"You kids are good in every way, except that you are a little too poor. Feel free to talk to them. Cloud Island is absolutely safe and reliable. There is no need to worry."

"Thank you Mr. Ross...I understand!"

Thomas was like a child being urged to get married by his elders. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head to show that he understood. Then, he suddenly asked:

"By the way, sir, are you here because of my letter?"

Thomas was curious.

He heard that Ross had recently been appointed as the deputy chief instructor of the Navy Elite Training Camp, responsible for training the Navy elites. The two people following him at this moment should be the trainees.

As for the one who was tied up, he was most likely a child who had just fallen into the pirate world and needed to be rescued. Ross was well-known for being kind to children, especially orphans.

As for the question Thomas asked, it was because many of them had the habit of writing letters to Ross to confide in him.

And occasionally Ross would take the time to reply, which only increased their enthusiasm. Whenever they encountered happy things, sad things, difficult things, etc., they would write them down in letters and send them to Mr. Ross.

They regard this method as a kind of sustenance, which allows them to stabilize their hearts even when facing darkness.

After all, Mr. Ross will always be their safe haven, and Cloud Island will always be a home where they can return to rest.

"Well, I read every child's letter. Thomas, it just so happens that one thing you mentioned in your letter is very worthy of my attention. It can be used as a difficult problem for training."

Ross nodded in acknowledgment.

Not long ago, probably shortly after the elite training camp was held, a seagull brought a letter from Thomas to him, which was also the trigger for him to apply to bring everyone out.

The letter clearly mentioned one thing:
[The above is my recent behavior. Finally, I would like to tell you about an unbearable thing I encountered.

The cause of this incident made me very angry!
A beautiful girl died at the hands of a nobleman, the girl was the one the noble had proposed to her father.

I don't know what happened here that made me want to resign and get rid of some guys, but I have no choice. As a navy, I have no right to interfere until the matter is investigated thoroughly.

I even had to help stop the father who wanted to kill someone.

He is a person with rare abilities. If the base commander and I don't take action, he can even kill everyone in the kingdom.

This is something that is not allowed, something that is not allowed to happen when the Navy is there.

If revenge through force is not possible, then appeal and confrontation become the only options.

For nearly a month, the old gentleman would go to the kingdom to knock on the door accompanied by us, but how could we possibly handle the words of those nobles and the king?

Things were left unresolved several times.

Every time I saw his sad and angry back, I was deeply moved and wanted to resign countless times to give him a chance.

But the base commander stopped me and persuaded me, making me constantly wander between justice and compromise.

I hope you can give me some advice, what should I do? 】

A typical case of power oppression, but the victim has the ability to kill his way through the kingdom.

If it was just the former, then it would be fine. As long as the perpetrator paid compensation, this matter would not cause any waves and would be buried deep in the hearts of all those who knew about it.

But if the latter is added, it becomes a very difficult matter to deal with. It will only get bigger and bigger, and finally all the perpetrators will die, and the victims will enter the sea without hesitation and become pirates.

This is something that is almost certain to happen, it's just a matter of time. Ross's arrival is to let Long and Borsalino deal with this matter alone, and let their justice choose the final outcome after the development of the matter.

Even in the worst outcome, with the pressure from him, Garp, Sengoku and others, the old father would at most move to Yun Island to live in seclusion.

As for the nobles? In Ross's opinion, it didn't matter how many of them died, as long as the blood didn't splash on him, because he thought it was dirty.

By dealing with such incidents, not only can the true inner thoughts of the two people be revealed, but their minds can also grow faster.

Instead of waiting until some things happen in the future and cause you to suffer such a great blow that you cannot recover.

A typical case is Kuzan.

One mission directly turned the passionate justice into lazy justice, and his righteous heart was shattered.

Ross's arrival changed many things, so that possibility wasn't possible for Long or Poruzakalino.

Another thing is to let them clarify their true beliefs. Only in this way can their strength grow rapidly.

Belief is something that always permeates the entire ocean. Whether it is "appearance is determined by the heart" or domineering, it is closely related to one's own beliefs!
"That's great, Mr. Ross. This matter has been bothering me for almost two months. If you had come any later, I would have been the first family member to resign. I would have been laughed at, right? Hahaha."

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and said in a joking tone, then made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Sir, please follow me. I will take you to dinner first, and then go and talk to the old gentleman.

In fact, we already had some speculations, but we couldn't confirm them. Due to my duties, I indirectly became an accomplice, and for this, I feel very sorry. "

"Don't feel sorry, kids. Many things in this world are not perfect. Just like when I adopted you, I could only give you a basic life and some insignificant teachings."

"Don't say that sir, that's perfect enough for us."

…………

"Huh...huh...huh..."

In the dark realm, Kaido's snoring sounded particularly loud.

He had already eaten more than half of the electric eel on his body, and the smell of burnt food was everywhere, indicating that the chef's control over the heat was not up to standard.

"Ok?"

Kaido got up with a dizzy head, ended his sleep, and then stood up tremblingly.

His epidermis has recovered a lot, but those invisible seastone factors are affecting him all the time. Some of them have even penetrated into his flesh and blood, making them difficult to remove.

Otherwise, two days would have been enough for him to recover.

But judging from the current situation, it will take at least one or two years before I have the chance to fight Ross again.

"call---"

Kaido spewed out flames vigorously to illuminate the surroundings. After two days of immersion, he was finally able to observe the area he was in.

This seemed to be a cave under the sea. In the distance there was a huge lake connected to the seabed. He must have been lucky enough to be washed in by the ocean current.

However, there seemed to be no other food here except for a small amount of leftover eels.

If he didn't continue exploring, he would probably starve to death in this place.

As for escaping?
It's difficult. Now that he has turned into a dragon, he can't cover his entire body with armament color. The food is converted into recovery power, and he simply cannot support himself to do so physically.

Unable to use Armament Haki to block out the rich seastone factor of the ocean, he had no way of surviving or even escaping under the sea which was unknown how many meters deep.

The situation seems to be a dead end!

Shaking his head, Kaido slowly walked to the lake.

Since he woke up, he felt like something was missing.

His face was reflected in the water.

At this moment, his entire body was sickly pale. Ross's final blow had left him with irreparable scars. His face looked like a skull covered only with flesh and blood, which was extremely horrifying.

The horns on the top of the head were also washed away, the black horns turned white and were broken in half!
"Rose..."

Kaido gritted his teeth, anger burning in his eyes.

But soon, he calmed down and spewed out a ball of fire behind him.

"call!"

The huge fireball began to illuminate the area ahead, and the area ahead looked like a bottomless cave.

Can we only start exploring forward?
Kaido thought, then came to the eel and started eating.

If you want to explore, you have to eat and drink enough.

　　I may update later today. I usually wait until I have saved more than 6k before posting, so that I can make up for some of the shortcomings.
