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

Chapter 223 How do you know Robin will call you grandpa?
"Dad, I want this!"

Marijoa, a Celestial Dragon child pointed at the slave holding a newspaper behind him and yelled at his father.

The newspaper showed the exact scene that Ross had created when Robin was born a few days ago.

Morgans was very considerate and produced a separate issue of the newspaper, filling all the content with the information of the time. The front page showed Ross holding Robin high and the sky was full of clouds like stars.

This newspaper was printed and distributed urgently by Morgans, and with its outstanding publicity and great appeal, it quickly reached the eyes of the Celestial Dragons.

Even the New World, which had rarely been available before, became a big seller, truly making this incident exactly what Ross had said.

Let the whole world know about the birth of his granddaughter!

Soon after he was born, Nasdaq Robin reached a level that most people can only look up to - a legend of the sea!
Although the water in this legend is no different from the vast ocean, it is just an empty reputation.

"I can't do it."

The Celestial Dragon's father shook his head frankly and told his son the truth with regret, but the other party still refused to give in.

The little Tianlongren did not lose his temper, but asked innocently:
"But didn't you say that the Celestial Dragons are supreme?"

"Of course the Celestial Dragons are supreme! Forget it, I'll go to the Five Elders and see if I can buy a toy for you from that guy named Ross."

The older Celestial Dragon hesitated for a moment before saying the second half of the sentence. This time the toys were definitely the most innovative ever, but it was a pity that he was already old and could not experience the joy of them at all.

If your son wants it, then buy it.

He didn't think that anyone would refuse to trade with the Celestial Dragons, but in Marijoa, although the Celestial Dragons were free, they still had to go through a lot of procedures.

Cases like this would require him to go and report to the five old men in charge of external affairs of the Five Elders, otherwise it would take him an unknown amount of time to make the trip in person.

Wouldn't it be better to just go through the approval process and let the people below be responsible?
"Great, there's a new toy! Even though it's a one-time use, I'll buy it if it works well!"

"No problem, no problem. Have fun however you want. It's your own problem how to deal with the pocket money anyway."

The older celestial dragon waved his hand indifferently and didn't care.

It's just a toy for performance purposes, how much can it cost?

"What? Why wouldn't that guy named Ross sell it? Damn it, he looks down on the Celestial Dragons, doesn't he?"

More than two hours later, the older Celestial Dragon stood in front of Izambaron V. Nasujuro Saint and questioned him.

He had finally managed to spare some free time to "buy" toys for his son, but when he asked the God of War, who was in charge of finances, he was directly told that the request was rejected.

The reason why even the Five Elder Stars refuse to accept such business is, firstly, because it has disappeared, and secondly, because the "seller" does not "sell goods".

In Marijoa, there are only two situations that the Celestial Dragons can encounter when they make special business visits.

After receiving a rejection, the older Tianlong blamed everything on Ross without a second thought.

"That's not the case. It's just that Ross is a special person. You'd better not contact him. He will pose a serious threat to your lives, and he is not allowed to enter the holy land unless under special circumstances."

Nasujuro did not explain too much. The older Celestial Dragon was the fourteenth Celestial Dragon he had met today, and the purpose of their coming was basically the same.

They were all there for the show Ross had created, seeing it as a fun and fresh toy, and an entertaining show, nothing more.

But if that were all, they would never agree to the requests of their compatriots.

That's not worth it. Exchanging risk for entertainment is definitely the most unprofitable approach, not to mention this kind of transaction of exchanging entertainment for a nuclear bomb.

Just think about it, there is no way it will be allowed.

"Damn it, can't we talk to that Ross or something? Isn't he a businessman or something? He's a king. Is he dissatisfied with the lack of gold in the sky? He doesn't want to make money, right?"

The older Tianlong said angrily. It was the first time he was rejected so harshly.

But it is definitely not possible to blame the Five Elders, so the only thing he can do is to vent his anger on Ross.

But he could not think of many reasons, nor did he know much information. After all, not every Tianlong person was free to read newspapers, and their ways of entertainment were much more advanced than those of ordinary people.

I only vaguely remember that Ross was the king of a member country and also the head of a business-like organization.

It's called the Nasdaq Chamber of Commerce now, right? The operator is his son.

Nasujuro did not correct the mistakes of the older celestial dragon, but emphasized again:
"I'm sorry, I can't allow you to handle your case, and neither can anyone else. This is very different from the past, unless the head of your main family is willing to take responsibility..."

"Forget it, it's just a toy. I'm leaving now."

The older Tianlong left decisively after hearing the second half of Nasujuro's words. He was not stupid enough to risk his life for something that required the master to take responsibility.

It's just a toy, if you don't have it, then forget it.

Behind him, Nasu Shoulang nodded silently, saying that there was no need to waste his breath. These old people were more receptive to advice, unlike those little ones who rarely listened to advice.

However, he couldn't help but criticize Ross in his heart. It was just the birth of a child. Was it necessary to spend so much time and energy?

Soon, a celestial dragon child arrived, and he had no choice but to greet him, and then there was another round of helplessness and sobbing.

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

"Robin Robin ~ Every morning you wake up, Robin Robin ~ there's a surprise waiting!"

The next morning, Ross lay beside Robin's cradle waiting for her to wake up, and then sang a ballad happily, holding a small cloud ball in his hand, which was very bouncy.

How could little Robin bear such temptation? She gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, then raised her limbs and whimpered as she asked her grandfather for a small toy:
“Aa ...

"Hahaha, do you want a toy? Come on, repeat after grandpa: Grandpa—Grandpa—!"

“Ah—ah—!”

Robin was very smart. She could clearly understand what Ross wanted to express. After stopping moving her limbs, she tried hard to make syllables similar to "grandpa".

Ross opened his eyes wide at this, and he taught Robin how to call him grandpa! Although they had only been together for a few days, he, who loved children, was fascinated by his granddaughter. She was so innocent and cute that a little teasing could easily satisfy the empty heart of an old man.

"That's great! Come on, play with it, little Robin. Grandpa will take you to have breakfast!"

Ross happily placed the cloud ball against Robin's belly, and even playfully circled it twice, causing Robin, who felt a little itchy, to make a happy noise:
"Kei hei hei hei! Kei hei hei, ah-ah! ah-ah-ah!"

Robin, who was able to speak for the first time, repeated this simple word, then turned over while holding the toy with both hands, lowered his head and rubbed it with his cheek, then bit it and licked it twice with his tongue, as if he was trying the taste of the cloud.

Ross moved carefully. He stretched out his arms and held Robin in his arms. He used Cloud to make a simple fixed basket on his chest and placed Robin inside it, so that she could have more space to turn over, and even sit in it to accompany Ross for a walk.

Pushing open the door of this small bedroom made entirely of soft clouds that Ross had specially built for Robin, Olivia and Atuo were already waiting outside.

The small bedroom was right next to the two of them, and the wall in between was even repaired to become a door that could be opened, so that Robin could wake up his mother for dinner when he was hungry at night.

"Look, son, little Robin can call me grandpa now, hahaha!"

As soon as he went out, Ross couldn't wait to show off to Yatuo, then reached out and touched Robin's cheek and said:
"Come on, Robin, call me grandpa again, okay?"

"Ah-ah-?"

Robin let go and licked Yunqiu's face, his wet saliva flowed out, and then he uttered two syllables in confusion.

"Listen, listen! Hahahaha, little Robin is as cute as Mona when she was a child!"

"Yes, yes, but Dad, Robin must be hungry now. Breakfast is ready over there, and Mom and the others are waiting for you."

Yatuo wiped his forehead helplessly. He had underestimated Ross's obsession and love for children. Obviously, he was not so intense when he was a child.

Could it be because of the Conqueror's Haki? Although he did not have the Conqueror's Haki, he still learned about it in his spare time. It was rumored that the Conqueror's Haki was an extreme manifestation of a person's will.

It may lead people to an extreme code of behavior, and your father may be in this situation.

But this is not a bad thing. The stronger the will, the higher the limit of dominance. This is an eternal truth.

"Yes, yes, we can't let little Robin go hungry! Come, Olivia, take good care of your daughter."

Ross nodded quickly, then handed the newly acquired little Robin to his mother Olivia, and said to Robin before leaving:

"Eat well, little Robin. Grandpa will go out to play with you later, okay?"

"Ah-ah-ah!"

When little Robin heard the words "go out and play", it was as if a switch was turned on. He threw away the cloud ball in his hand and leaned forward as if he wanted to break free from Olivia's arms and throw himself into his grandfather's embrace.

But it was obvious that little Robin could not resist the decision made by the adults. Olivia hugged her tighter and said to Rose:
"Then we will go first, father. We will bring little Robin to you later."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye a few times, Ross reluctantly left under Robin's eager gaze, and quickly reached the dining living room in three or two steps.

It wasn't very busy here, just two more people than usual, Ross and Sakaski.

Ross sat next to his three wives, and not far across from him was Sakaski, who was eating and drinking to his heart's content. He looked very casual, and the warmth of home made him feel unusually relaxed and uninhibited.

Noticing Ross's arrival, he quickly swallowed the spicy meat in his mouth and asked:
"Teacher, Mr. Zefa will take us back tomorrow. When are you going to go back?"

"Me? Never mind. I've already shown you around. What's left is the final graduation assessment and ceremony. Tell Zefa that I'll go to the navy in advance for the closing ceremony."

Ross shook his head and said that he did not plan to go back with them, but wanted to take advantage of this time to build a good relationship with little Robin and accompany his first granddaughter attentively.

Anyway, there will be no problem with Zefa around in the graduation examination, and Borsalino, Sakaski and Long can also make short efforts at critical moments.

As for the New World, there is currently no danger except for the wandering Whitebeard Newgate. Charlotte Linlin is defending the Cake Island, while Roger is still far away in the Grand Line.

Apart from the fact that he needed to go to the final closing ceremony, everything else didn't matter.

"Really? Okay, I'll tell Zephyr-sensei."

Sakaski nodded, picked up a new spicy bone and meat, and started to fill his stomach with wheat bread.

Barrett, who was sitting not far away, was no less well-off. The two "gluttons" ate several times more food than the rest of them combined, and even sat on a chair to rest when they were only 70% full.

Soon, the dinner was over and everyone left. Mona sat on Barrett's shoulder and couldn't help but say as soon as she left the house:
"Great, we can finally go out and play! Barrett Barrett, where do you think we should make our first stop? How about starting in the Kingdom of Goa? That's Mr. Garp's hometown!"

She shook her legs excitedly and patted Barrett's shoulders repeatedly with her hands, she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

Barrett did not comment, but nodded woodenly and said:

"It's all right. I have no objection. You can go if you like, Mona. I will protect you."

"Yeah! Barrett is the best. With you around, there's no place I can't go. Let's go buy a map today, and then go to your house to study it carefully!"

After saying that, Mona stretched out her arm, pointed in the direction of the commercial district and said happily:
"The Barrett is setting off! Target is the East China Sea Chart, charge, charge, charge!"

Although Mona was very excited, Barrett still walked at a leisurely pace, just a little faster than usual.

"This child..."

"Mona has indeed been holding it in for too long, Master. Although it is true that it is not suitable for girls to go out casually."

Sakaski said silently.

Ross nodded. He was partly to blame for this matter, but fortunately it could be resolved and would not have much impact.

"I'm leaving first. Robin is still waiting for her grandfather. By the way, Sakaski, do you know what I taught Robin today?
That’s right, it’s talking! She can already call me grandpa, hahahaha!”

Ross was showing off happily, and Sakaski beside him cooperated with a smile and an admiring look, feeling a little helpless inside.
