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

Chapter 101 Only Silence
"Wuhu~Big news! This is a true natural disaster!"

An albatross was holding a camera and taking pictures continuously. He didn't expect to encounter such explosive news as soon as he came to the New World to collect materials. He will definitely sell it all over the world!

.........

Above the Red Earth Continent, because the place where the battle took place is close to the doldrums and is also the starting point of the new world, you can see the battlefield at a glance when standing here.

The storm and waterspouts were clearly visible.

The five old men looked into the distance, fear in their eyes, and then slowly left.

…………

This big move caused a huge noise. Even the Navy G1 branch which was a little further away could see the storm and the distant tornado that reached the sky.

It looked like a natural disaster, and even from a distance I was afraid of it, and I prayed that it would not happen to me.

Many ships were affected by the wind and waves. Fortunately, the battle site was located in the New World and close to the doldrums. Ninety-nine percent of those who could sail here were not good people.

In the calm zone, many super-giant sea kings were also startled by this force and surfaced to look into the distance.

------

This time the storm did not dissipate immediately because Ross was almost out of strength.

Physical strength is always a pain for him, and this ultimate move can drain all his physical strength in an instant.

Of course, it’s not because his blue bar is that long, but because Kaido is too big, he needs to multiply his moves to ensure that the opponent cannot break free.

If it were a normal person like Garp, the duration of this move would be at least extended to three or four hours, and several layers of his skin would be washed away!
"You're so cool, Mr. Ross. When will you help me develop some cool moves?
All day long, he either kicks at the speed of light or shoots beams, without any tricks at all, and looks so lousy~"

Ross landed on Punk Hazard Island and stood tall in front of the three people.

Although he was a little exhausted, his face did not allow him to show it in front of the two students.

Hearing Borsalino's question, he said slowly:
"When your physical strength and fruit foundation are developed, I will take you to play something bigger. I won't refuse even if you go to Yun Island to learn from me.

As for now, just think about it. Even if I teach you, you won't be able to perform it."

Ross smiled easily, but Long and Borsalino could see the fatigue hidden in each other.

In this case, Borsalino had no choice but to tilt his head, looking a little disappointed and helpless.

The moves are cool, but they only last for a short while.

It is very powerful, but for real masters it can only be used as a finishing move or opening move.

Long did not speak. He looked at Ross with complicated eyes, then looked down at Jhin, handed him the information in his hand, and said:

"Teacher, I..."

"Look at it in a positive way. You are still a little young now. Your father Garp also went through the same thing. It won't be too late to make a decision after you think about it more."

Ross knew what Long wanted to ask.

He was just a young boy who was exposed to the darkness of the world for the first time. It was not like he had never led one before, Sakaski was an example.

But compared to Sakaski's heart, Long is obviously more fragile, or it can be said that his sense of justice was too high from the beginning, so he fell too quickly when he came into contact with darkness.

Born in the Navy Headquarters, the greatest darkness he had ever seen before today was probably just something as trivial as corruption.

More than that, they would hardly reveal.

To describe a dragon as simple is to be modest.

This can be well reflected in the second-generation naval squadrons of later generations.

A few young boys followed Garp to the Beehive Island alone to enforce justice. No one knew where they got the courage from. Had they really never seen what a truly strong person was?

Blackbeard doesn't need to take action to deal with them, his men can easily wipe them out.

The phrase "ignorant of the heavens and the earth's depth" is not enough to describe their wise operation. Even with Cap leading the team, they should not be so reckless.

No, it would be normal if Garp was the leader. After all, there are still a few smart people in this "SWORD" team.

"Mr. Ross, I understand. How does he deal with it?"

Long nodded. Wasn't that why Mr. Ross brought them out? His justice and passion were still burning. He soon forgot about this grief and returned to his sunny boy appearance.

He has some of Cap's temperament when he was young, but more sunny and less silly.

He turned his head and looked at Jhin who was standing in a daze on the beach, wanting to hear Ross's decision.

Taking a step forward, Ross came and stood in front of Jhin.

Although Jhin was only fifteen years old, he was more than two meters tall. Ross stood in front of him and put his hand on his head.

"Humph!"

Jhin turned his head, broke free from Ross's big hand and took a step back, his expression cold and murderous.

Ross shook his head, and slowly condensed a processing cloud on his hand, which covered him with armed color and rushed towards Jin.

He wanted to dodge, but it was no use. Even though Ross was physically and mentally exhausted at this moment, he was not someone Jhin could resist.

The rope made of cloud quickly tied up Jin, and the armament Haki prevented him from breaking free and breaking through, and only slowly faded away after he was tied up tightly.

"........."

Jhin said nothing, just stared at Ross, struggling in vain.

"Don't worry, you are innocent. I can't do anything to a child like you."

"........."

Ross told the truth, but all he got in response was Jhin's sarcastic smile and distrustful look. It was as if he was saying.

You caught me, are you trying to put me back in the cage?

After all, he is a member of the Lunalia tribe, which is even rarer than the demon tribe. He is a natural warrior and a strong man. If he is sold to the World Government, he can get quite a lot of benefits!

"I know you don't trust me now. After all, I killed your brother Kaido, but I have no choice. Since he has reappeared in front of me, I have to take action."

Ross said this in a somewhat hypocritical tone, but his tone was gentle and didn't sound fake.

He can let Kaido and even King go. He can do it, and he has reasons. Neither Dragon nor Borsalino will say anything.

But, who can resist the chance to win a prize for a mythical beast?

But who doesn’t want to have one less enemy in their future?

Kaido was right about hypocritical kindness, but he is indeed kind, isn’t he?
"Let's go to the nearby islands. Kaido's fruit should have been reborn. Borsalino, please search this island first to see if there are any devil fruits."

After Ross finished speaking, he waved to Long, casually pinched two chairs with the cloud and sat down on them.

Behind him, Borsalino complained briefly before disappearing as a point of light.

Long sat next to Ross, quietly admiring the sea under the storm.

The thunderclouds had not yet dissipated, the sea was surging, the wind was howling wildly, and the battlefield seemed to appear before my eyes, again and again.

Only Jin stood behind the two of them without saying a word, staring at the sea and silently shedding tears.

He was alone again.

…………

The four set off shortly afterwards.

There are no Devil Fruit reappearances on Punk Hazard.

There may be another upheaval or even two here in the future, but for now, the story comes to some pristine islands in the doldrums.

An unnamed primitive island. Ross brought a few people down with him, carrying a bag containing three or four devil fruits.

Every time these islands are plundered, many animal-type devil fruits can be harvested, but they are basically of blue quality. There are only two ancient purple-quality fruits so far, and one of them has been used.

"Teacher Ross, are there many islands like this in the Calm Belt? It's amazing! These primitive creatures only exist in books and devil fruit encyclopedias!"

The dragon jumped down and asked again beside Rose.

This is the fourth pristine island they have arrived at. Although it is small, it is home to an extremely rich variety of species and has its own food chain.

"I've told you this many times, right? Every time I bring you to Wufeng, I have to ask you this question..."

Ross said helplessly.

Long is really similar to Garp in some ways, such as selective amnesia.

"Hahaha, sorry Mr. Ross."

Long scratched the back of his head, then his eyes saw a tree full of fruits. Coincidentally, he was a little greedy.

It is already afternoon, and although he is not very hungry yet, tasting these novel fruits can satisfy his craving and curiosity. Why not?
So he asked decisively:

"Teacher Ross, can we eat that fruit over there?"

"Yes, it should be a giant berry, but I don't recommend you eat too much. There are many ancient toxins on the primitive island. They may be everywhere."

"Understood! I'll just give it a taste!"

After saying this, Long took two steps at a time and walked towards the fruit tree not far away.

Ross began to spread the "Event Horizon Cloud" to start searching, while Borsalino remained on the cloud and did not come down, lying down and sleeping leisurely.

"Phew—it looks really big!"

Jumping up, Long casually picked a huge purple berry and sighed.

This rare fruit is not available on the market. I wonder how it tastes compared to the fruits on the previous two islands.

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to take a bite, the fruit suddenly began to change, and in the blink of an eye it became a devil fruit that was only 70% similar to the original one.

This made Long a little dumbfounded.

No, I was just about to speak!
Helplessly, he turned and shouted to Ross:
"Teacher Ross, this fruit suddenly changed in front of me. Look at what kind of devil fruit this is!"

"Oh?"

On the other side, Rose turned around after hearing Long's shout and saw the devil fruit in the other's hand at a glance, which was similar to the berries on the tree.

What a lucky dragon!

"Okay, let me take a look."

Ross turned into a white cloud and floated over. Looking at the fruit, memories of the Devil Fruit Picture Book kept flashing through his mind.

Soon, he blurted out his congratulations:

"I feel like maybe fate is choosing you, Long, this fruit is something quite extraordinary!

Take it, and ask your father and others when you get back. My personal suggestion is that you eat it directly."

There are two more chapters. I will post them together after I finish coding them. I will eat something and take a rest.
