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

Chapter 118: Immortality is not urgent

"What are your plans, Ross?"

"What plan? I'm just chatting with Roger. I won't really do anything anyway. Don't you know him well? Besides, he wouldn't dare to do anything directly if you were here."

East China Sea, Rogge Town, Naval Branch Base.

Ross and Cap chatted idly, showing no worry or anxiety about Roger's stealing behavior.

The three Longs were chatting enthusiastically with a young man on the side, looking quite enthusiastic.

If the other person's face didn't look like Garp, Long would have doubted whether he was Garp's biological son.

"Roger is a vicious criminal who massacred an allied country's garrison just for his companions. Ross, I really don't know where you get your confidence from, hahahaha."

Garp laughed and joked. Although his words were full of blood, there was nothing special about his tone, as if he was talking about something very insignificant.

Ross shook his head. The incident was reported in the World Government's special newspaper at the time. The description was quite bad, portraying Roger and others as evil people who did all kinds of evil and loved blood.

But Ross knew that given the nature of the nobles in this world, if their identities were swapped, he would make the same choice as Roger.

Because he knew very well that any evil deeds involving the nobles or kings of the member states were most likely caused by the member states themselves being at fault first and committing evil first.

This is not an exaggeration, but the vast majority of nobles in this world are like this, they like to stir up trouble and do not treat common people as human beings.

"You know the temperament of those nobles, and I also know what kind of people they are. Besides, Roger came here to ask for something from me, so I have nothing to worry about."

"I have a request for you? What is it?"

Cap was confused. He couldn't think of anything Roger could ask of Ross.

To put it bluntly, people who have reached their level can really do whatever they want on the ocean. As long as they don't touch the world government and don't seek death, they can live the way they want.

Anything that can make them ask for something is extraordinary.

Karp was very curious, so he asked directly.

Ross did not hide it, because he knew that Cap already knew some secrets of this world, and he was trustworthy, so it was no big deal to tell it out.

The most important thing lies in his own identity and strength. Even if the World Government knows what he talked about with Roger, it can't do anything.

In this world, strength is always paramount, followed by status!
Ross said slowly:

"You should know the so-called blank hundred years, Garp, I..."

"No, no, no! Pretend I didn't ask. Withdraw, withdraw!"

As if under pressure, Garp immediately used his fruit ability, "Withdraw"!
He no longer wanted to know whether Roger needed Ross's help. This time he would just be a bodyguard to support the situation and not interfere in other matters.

There was no other way. He was a member of the D clan, whose identity was sensitive. If he was involved in something that shouldn't be mentioned, he would have to think about how to hide his son in advance.

The world government can’t touch him, but can’t they touch his son?
Ross didn't care. As long as he didn't delve into this part of history, nothing would happen. What's more, he had joined the World Government now. As long as he didn't touch on this kind of things, the five old men would turn a blind eye and let it go.

"Okay, I don't know about the outside world, but Cloud Island is absolutely safe. No one can monitor us, so don't worry."

Ross chuckled and said in a soothing tone, and then continued:
"Besides, I have my own territory. I know what I can say and what I can't say. I have my weaknesses."

After that, the two of them stopped talking.

Ross's last words were not only spoken to Garp, but also to a CP agent not far away who was discovered by him using his Observation Haki.

It's a precautionary measure for those five old guys, so that they won't make blind guesses and might just issue the Demon-Slaying Order.

Although the biggest function of the Demon-Slaying Order is to force me to defect to the pirates, it's really useless.

Time passed slowly. It was only three or four hours since Ross and Cap met in Rogue Town. Once the warship was replenished, they could set off immediately.

Although Ross could have taken Cap and the others there quickly, there was no need for that.

Ross also wanted to see how patient and sincere Roger and the others were.

As long as this time is controlled within two weeks, there won't be any big problems, it's just right.

According to the original work, Roger could have surrendered a few years later in order to find the final island, but that was also because his life was coming to an end.

It was a little over two years since Roger met Kurokas, and he completed his final journey accompanied by this miracle doctor.

Ross didn't know when Roger contracted his incurable disease, it could have been two years later, or it could have been earlier.

If Roger had an incurable disease, the more benefit Ross could get from it, and he didn't mind telling Roger some special news.

Because even if Ross didn't tell the other party, in four or five years at most, Roger would become the Pirate King because of Oden's joining. The most he would do is try to interrupt him and start the Age of Discovery.

Apart from this, nothing he did seemed to change much, so he might as well join in and get some benefits from it.

He was very envious of Roger's advanced knowledge of domineering, especially the domineering color entanglement!

There is a high probability that Barrett will awaken the Domineering Haki. If necessary, Rose can allow him to sit in his position, but there is a prerequisite!
He had to get the pure gold.

Ross is almost forty years old, and the traces of time have begun to show on him. The handsome man in his twenties has turned into a gentle and elegant uncle.

He never forgot the three treasures in One Piece that could prolong life, but he had difficulty obtaining two of them. Needless to say, he had not found the place of the ancient town of Shuigu, and even if he did, he could only give it to his children.

The pure gold is on a sea king, so he still can't go into the sea for a long time, especially to the deep sea.

Only Barrett has hope of finding pure gold without being the protagonist!

But it doesn’t matter even if neither of these two things is found.

He will be able to obtain the surgery fruit 100% when he is around fifty years old. By then, he will definitely be able to reach the general emperor level. Although it is at the bottom, it is more than enough for him to get a surgery fruit.

The only difficulty is that it is difficult to find someone to perform the immortality surgery, but it should be possible to find one before I die.

So he is not in a hurry. Given his long lifespan, is it difficult to improve his strength?

The ability of his fruit means that even if the world government is submerged by the sea, he and his family will be fine.

The main goal now is to cultivate a frontal combat force that is so strong that even the world government will have to be wary of it!

Before this, all resources were Ross's goal.

He was indeed shameless in trying to tie Barrett down with emotions, but what he could give was real and almost without reservation!
Time passes slowly.

Ross was talking to Tokos of Cloud Island to learn about the movements and actions of Roger and others.

The other party's think tank, Rayleigh, was constantly inquiring about information and trying to get people to contact him, and to find out about his preferences, etc.

Other people who have no brains should just eat, drink, play and have fun.

This was also within Ross's expectations. Judging from the situation, Roger and others were not in a hurry, which seemed to mean that they had not yet contracted an incurable disease.

The only ones worth noting are the two children, one with red hair and one with a red nose, who have recently been very close to their fourth son, Nasdaq Walter.

Ross didn't care. It would be best if his son could keep the two of them here. He would definitely welcome them.

But the possibility of that is low.

The above are Yundao’s recent activities.

On the other side, the main cabin was not quiet either. The father and son met again after more than a month, and the atmosphere was not very good. On the contrary, it was a little off.

Garp and Long sat opposite each other.

One who doesn't know how to ask his son about his devil fruit.

The other didn't know how to tell his father that he was leaving the Navy in the future.

Although Karp behaves very carefree in front of outsiders, he has always been cautious in front of his son in the past two years.

Firstly, he didn't know how to continue and correctly express his fatherly love, and secondly, Long had begun to clearly reject him.

Long didn't know that the fact that he often complained to Sakaski about his father had been discovered by the person involved.

"Um... that, Dad, I..."

"Long, you..."

"Why don't you speak first?" X2
The two of them turned their heads away in tacit understanding and scratched their cheeks awkwardly.

Finally, Long mustered up the courage to speak first:

"Dad, I want to quit the Navy soon after graduation, and then..."

"What! No! Absolutely not!"

Before Long could finish his words, he was violently interrupted by Garp.

Karp slammed the wooden table in front of him with both hands, and stared at his son with sharp eyes, his emotions obviously out of control.

It’s simple. Although Garp’s original intention of joining the navy was for justice, he didn’t let his son join the navy because of this!

He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if Long left the navy!
Sometimes, Garp doesn't want to bear the burden of the last name D, but fate is a real thing on the sea!
"Why not! You old idiot, I have my own ideals and dreams too!"

"No means no, you don't understand what will happen when you get out!"

"If I don't know, just tell me!"

“I! I…I!”

Garp was suffocated by Long's question.

He couldn't say that after he got out, he might be led by fate to a path of no return, right? Only a three-year-old child would believe that.

However, looking at Long's resolute look, if I don't reveal some explosive information, the other party will not give up...
