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

Chapter 234 Daily life
"Hey, you two, don't think that just because you are big... hehe——"

A bandit with a gun fell to the ground with a groan before he could finish his words.

If Barrett had not sensed murderous intent from the other party, the young bandit would not have simply fallen to the ground.

To be frank, in the entire East China Sea, he could kill anyone with just one kick, even if he was a brigadier general of a naval branch. He could truly kill a person with just his eyes!

“Prosperous, but dirty.”

"It doesn't matter. We're just here to have fun. I don't want to be a good guy like my dad."

Barrett simply thought about it for a while before making a judgment on the entire Goa Kingdom, but Mona didn't care.

She is out here to have fun, and if she is just having fun, then she should not meddle in other people's business and act on her own.

Sitting on Barrett's shoulders, she gently held the big head beside her with her hands and played with his golden hair, like a calm little princess.

"Damn it, you..."

"Stop Sig! Let them pass."

A person who was obviously the leader stopped his subordinates and shook his head to signal them not to provoke the two men.

He looked and found that the companion who had just fallen was still breathing. It was obvious that he had just fainted. The burly man who was more than three meters tall did not want to get involved in the internal disputes of this kingdom.

He seemed to be the companion of the girl on his shoulder? In any case, it was best not to provoke the other party.

"But boss..."

"No buts! Our purpose is not to rob Sig, remember our identities!"

The masked leader angrily scolded his little brother named Sig, then raised his gun again, waved his hand, and continued to surround the crowd at the dock.

In order to become a member of the World Government, undercurrents surged in the prosperous Goa Kingdom. The upper-class nobles began to exploit without restraint, and the people at the bottom naturally organized the first wave of resistance.

The purpose of their trip was simply to give a warning to that group of nobles and to gain some living space for the people at the bottom.

Killing people? They were prepared, but not for ordinary people who were powerless.

"Hey, tall guy over there, take us out, I'm willing to pay you a million Baileys!"

"That golden-haired boy over there, you'd better take the noble son of the Duke of Stubery out. If you are willing to offer yourself up...Puff--"

Two noble families, seeing that Barrett was so powerful and had escaped safely, became interested.

The father of the minor noble was willing to hire someone to ward off disaster for the sake of his family, but before the son of the major noble could finish his words, his entire body turned into blood mist and dissipated.

The thick smell of blood was blown across the entire square by the sea breeze. Some ordinary people vomited on the spot, and even the bandits with guns could not help but lose their grip on their weapons.

Barrett didn't look back, but just clenched his palms gently and took Mona towards the city not far away.

"Don't do it directly next time, Barrett. If we leave the East China Sea, we will be wanted. Then we will be pirates."

Mona warned Barrett nonchalantly, in a frivolous tone, not taking the situation seriously at all.

Even if the nobles were not allied to the kingdom, once the news reached the navy, a bounty would be put on the wanted list. The circle of nobles was actually quite small, and any slight movement would be known to everyone.

They are a collective, just like ordinary people and businessmen among ordinary people, despising and fawning on each other, but also relying on each other.

"Well, I'll bring a recording phone bug next time."

Barrett nodded. He was indeed a little impulsive. The best way to deal with that kind of guy was to throw him away like a bug, and then notify his family to deal with it privately.

Whether it is economic suppression or circle independence, it is better than him killing people directly.

Of course, this is only limited to the four seas. Once you reach the Grand Line, this kind of thing will be much freer.

"Come on, come on, over there Barrett, there's actually a sauna here. Let's go book two rooms first, and then relax at night after we find a good place to sleep!"

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Mona pointed to a sauna shop not far from the entrance of the capital of the Kingdom of Goa and called Barrett to hurry over.

Barrett nodded and walked in Mona's direction.

Passersby on the street were curious about their combination. Many people felt that their faces looked somewhat familiar, but they really couldn't remember where they were.

"Tada ta... ta ta ta..."

The footsteps of three teams of soldiers were heard, and a team of dozens of people wearing armor and holding guns were seen rushing out of the city. It was obvious that they were sent out after receiving a report of a port hijacking case.

"Welcome to Misaka Sauna. Do you two need to book a room?"

When I walked into the sauna, a middle-aged woman came out. Her clothes were out of place among the people in the kingdom and she didn't look like a local.

But Mona didn't care so much. She sat on Barrett's shoulder and bent over. She asked directly:
"Well, we need to book two single rooms. Do you have any vacancies?"

"Of course, beautiful lady, but are you sure you want two rooms? We can provide very convenient bath towels here~"

The woman asked with a chuckle, and her meaning was self-evident. Unfortunately, only Mona, who knew a little about human affairs, could hear the meaning.

Mona's face turned red, as would anyone who was suddenly spoken to. But after a moment, Mona calmed down a little and replied:

"No need, two rooms will be fine. Remember, it should be a single room!"

"Okay Miss, it seems that I am a little abrupt, but you are probably visiting from an outer island, right?"

The woman nodded with some regret, and while taking notes, she started chatting with Mona:

"You may not be very familiar with the current situation here. Since you are guests, I can recommend some fun places for you two. Do you want to hear them?"

"Ah, you mean those things at the port?"

"Almost. The Goa Kingdom is not very peaceful right now. There have been a lot of incidents like this recently, which has caused a lot of loss of business in the store."

"The sea is really not peaceful at all. Madam, can you tell me where else in the Kingdom of Goa is fun?"

Mona changed the subject and then floated down from Barrett's shoulder.

The woman who was keeping accounts was slightly stunned when she saw this, but then she quickly recorded the accounts, pulled Mona to sit aside, and started talking incessantly.

After seeing this, Barrett just found a place to sit down. The two people not far away were chatting animatedly. He turned his head and looked outside the store.

A little girl was holding a basket of flowers and looking around, but her eyes kept looking towards the sauna from time to time.

To be precise, it was him and Mona.

"Mona, I'm going to leave for a while."

Barrett said hello to Mona, stood up, pushed open the curtain and walked out of the store. The little girl from before had been wandering around, observing the passers-by around her, and occasionally looking towards the sauna shop not far away.

The capital of the Kingdom of Goa is very beautiful. Even the most ordinary houses are very solid and capable. The houses where the nobles live are neat and ornamental. A magnificent palace stands in the distance. The light of the rising sun casts a shadow, covering the heavily guarded inner walls.

"The flowers in your hands are very beautiful. How much is one Bailey?"

The stiffness of the tone did not make the gentle words seem awkward.

Barrett's figure suddenly appeared in front of the girl. The latter was so panicked that she almost dropped the basket of flowers. She only looked up quietly after she reacted.

The other person had a calm expression, holding a stack of Baileys in his hand, and looked like he was observing some flowers in his basket.

"Ten Baileys a Bouquet, Mr. You can buy a bouquet for the girl you like, it only costs fifty Baileys!"

The little girl held up the flower basket. With her height of 1.4 meters, she couldn't even reach Barrett's waist. She looked thin and it was obvious that she was an orphan living in poor conditions.

But the other party was very smart and knew how to sell the goods he had to support himself.

Apart from the people who looked at her with pity, there were very few people who needed flowers. How to find the right buyers was a big question for children of their age.

"I want this whole basket. Here, there are five hundred Baileys in total. Is that enough?"

"That's enough! Thank you, sir, and have a nice day! Here's your twenty baileys."

The little girl took the five bills handed to her by Barrett and took out two coins from her pocket and handed them over.

Barrett hesitated for a moment, but the words that were on his lips did not come out. He put away the two Baileys as change, nodded, and left in silence.

After making sure the girl had left, he found a nearby ornamental flower bed and replanted the flowers he had bought into the soil before returning the same way.

The whole process lasted about half an hour. When he returned to the sauna, Mona had finished chatting with the woman and was sitting next to the backpack he left behind waiting for him to come back.

"What were you doing just now, Barrett? Let's go, let's go find a hotel and book a room before going out to play. Let me tell you, Sister Songxue told me a lot of interesting places.

I never thought that there was a chef competition in the Kingdom of Goa. It's really something new. Is the chef competition a competition of cooking skills or a competition of dishes?"

Mona said as she naturally sat on Barrett's shoulder.

The latter put on his backpack and slowly replied:
"Nothing, just helping a little girl in need."

"Very good, Barrett!"

Mona complimented him, and then the two of them set off to find an inn in the kingdom where they could stay for the night.

…………

"Well, it's time to go to work again. I really want to retire soon!"

"retire-!"

Ross was holding little Robin in his arms. The man who was so high-spirited outside now looked like mud and collapsed in the office.

He had already handed over the affairs of Yundao to Tokos to manage, and the reason he appeared here was just because of another matter.

He is planning to open an academy on Cloud Island.

"Ahahaha, then when little Robin grows up, he can help grandpa retire, okay?"

"it is good--!"

Ross teased the little one in his arms. Little Robin, who didn't understand the meaning of his grandfather's words at all, nodded happily and agreed. He lay quietly in Ross's arms and poked his head out to watch him write and draw on the paper.

First is the issue of enrollment.

There is no formal "academy" on the sea, as mentioned before, so it would be more appropriate to call it a training camp.

Ross first wrote the word "orphanage" next to the drawing, and after thinking for a while, he wrote down two words:
Residents and civilians.

Needless to say, the residents are of course the people living on Yun Island and their descendants, while the civilians are everyone.

There is a saying that goes, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation. Although the descendants of the strong in the sea must be strong, the blood of ordinary people may not be weak.

With a little training, they can all become qualified soldiers.

The enrollment problem has been solved, and the next issue is the teacher problem.

Although he planned to teach personally, it was impossible for him to rely on himself for everything, so having a proper helper was also a good choice.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop pulling grandpa's beard!"

Just as Ross was about to put pen to paper, the naughty little Robin grabbed his short beard and pulled him out of his thoughts with a casual pull.

"Hey hahaha!"

Little Robin danced with joy, feeling happy that he could attract Ross's attention.

On this side, Ross did not send Robin back to Yatuo and the others who were still at home because of this little thing. Instead, he simply dealt with the situation and continued to work with her in his arms.

"For teachers, we have to classify them into different types of teaching first."

Rose does not intend to turn his training camp into a place specifically for improving strength, but rather something more similar to the education in his previous life.

The only difference is that there is an additional rule that allows for appointments for fights.

"Qiang Qiang"

There was a knock on the door, and then the office door was pushed open.

"Honey, it's almost six o'clock. This is tonight's dinner. Come, little Robin, let grandma hug you. Don't disturb your grandpa now."

Mora interrupted Ross's thoughts again. She walked in with a dinner, cleaned the table for Ross and took Robin from his arms.

Is it six o'clock already?

Ross sighed in his heart. He remembered that he started working at nine o'clock in the morning, and so far he had only simply drawn a simple architectural sketch for the training camp.

"Time flies by so fast. I don't know if Mona can adapt to life outside. The bed outside is not as good as the one at home."

"I'm not worried about that girl. If she gets bored, she can always come back!"

As Mora spoke, she first lifted Little Robin in front of her and checked his entire body. After confirming that he had nothing to deal with, she continued to speak to Ross:
"As for you, don't work so late like before. There is still a lot of time. Why don't we do it one step at a time? Now that you are home, why don't you spend more time with the children when you have time?"

"This... I know, I know."
