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

Chapter 56 The Words That Keep Speaking

time flies.

Within the following week, Barrett successfully killed the sea king that had "killed" him twice, and his fighting experience and physical strength both increased sharply.

In the days ahead, in addition to the necessary physical training every night, Ross will gradually capture stronger sea kings to train Barrett.

Ross has noticed something strange about Barrett.

For example, with the awakening of his "ghost energy", his temperament would change drastically shortly after each battle, and his overall combat strength would rise sharply.

But the price is also high. A body that has not yet fully developed cannot last long, and there will be a period of psychological symptoms after each attack.

Ross would take time out every day to observe secretly, and he knew why.

In the original work, Barrett was completely disappointed with the concept of "partners" and abandoned his last emotions. He tried to survive only by his will and "goals". He slowly accepted the transformation brought about by the "ghost energy" and became a slave to power.

At this time, Barrett has not yet abandoned his emotions, and they are becoming stronger and stronger as time goes by. Naturally, the innate "ghost spirit" in his body will fight against them.

At this moment, Barrett was like a mentally ill person with a second personality. Only by making his own choices could a certain will completely take over his body!

By then, Ross's goal would be completely accomplished.

For now, there seems to be no problem. As Barrett's emotions grow day by day, the afterswing of him entering the "ghost" posture becomes longer and longer, and the duration becomes shorter and shorter. It is only a matter of time before he gives up the control of the awakened "ghost spirit".

When he grows up, Ross will teach him how to master this power. After all, to be honest, ghost energy is actually a special extension of domineering power, similar to the innate ability to "listen to everything".

The only difference is that the "ghost energy" has a touch of both the armament color and the domineering color levels.

Such days continued until June of the Haiyuan calendar year 1485.

Today is a special day. Sakaski and others who have been in the army for almost two years have returned as a group!
This day can be said to be one of the busiest days of the year for the Nasdaq family. As a medium-sized warship sailed in, the shore was filled with people and their families who came to watch.

As the head of the family, Ross will naturally come as well. This is a good opportunity to show off.

But it doesn't matter even if he doesn't come, the children will just think that he is too busy and can't spare the time.

The second son Alexander stood on his right side, and Barrett stood on his left side. He had an indifferent expression and looked at the people who came down from the two warships with envy in his heart.

Very strong, these people are very strong!
According to Barrett's intuition, among the 37 men wearing navy justice coats who came down, at least half of them could beat him!
Especially the leader, the man in red clothes and smoking a cigar, Barrett had no doubt that he could crush him!
This is the intuition that belongs only to monsters!
Although there is a big age gap between them, no one will forgive you for this on the sea. Barrett, who was once a boy soldier, feels this particularly well.

On the other side, some of the accompanying marines dispersed while others continued to stand guard. The naval officers from the Nasdaq family followed Sakaski silently.

The two years have allowed them to make a lot of progress and grow a lot, but at the same time, sadness and pain are always with them.

When patrolling the sea areas, the inaction of the member states is often seen, there are many wandering orphans and many broken families.

Slave traders, pirates, gangsters, they can be seen on every mission, encroaching on this beautiful ocean.

In the past, they simply thought that Ross was a good man, a kind person, and a hero.

It was not until now that they realized how lucky they were to be saved by Ross!
In front, Sakaski was smoking a cigar, his appearance already showing some of the future's determination and coldness. He came quietly to Ross with a box in his hands.

"Where's that boy Yatuo? Didn't he come back with you guys?"

Ross patted Sakaski's shoulder gently and did not mention the topic that made everyone feel sad.

Sakaski took off his cigar, turned his head and blew out the smoke before saying:

"After returning Rawl, he went out with old man Garp who happened to be on vacation. The old man wanted to trick Yatuo into getting more arms like Mr. Sengoku did. I guess they are getting along pretty well now."

Sakaski smiled, a rare occurrence, and joked.

He followed Ross's words and did not say what Yatuo said exactly. Instead, he slightly embellished it. "You bastard, if you don't want to come back, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush? Okay, don't forget to come and celebrate Mona's birthday tonight. She misses you very much."

Ross bluntly exposed Sakaski, then gave a few words of comfort and turned away.

Mona did not attend the welcome ceremony this time. Today is her birthday and she wanted Sakaski and the others to come over and give her a surprise.

Ross left the remaining space to others. There were some things that he, as an adult, felt uncomfortable with.

The rest are relationships that we have had since childhood.

Soon, Ross shook his head as he listened to the laughter in the back.

"Did I forget something? Oh, right! Barrett! Forget it, they will get to know each other sooner or later anyway, so let them get along with each other first."

On the other side, the taciturn Barrett stood quietly where he was, and Ross just left him here.

Looking at the crowd gathering in front of him, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

After a long while, the laughter of the reunion ended, and what came next was the inevitable sadness.

The crowd slowly dispersed and formed a circle. Barrett mixed in among them, looking at the girl who was crying in the small garden yesterday and walked forward silently.

With tears streaming down her face, she tremblingly took the exquisite box, as well as the only remaining relics of "Goer" and a pile of sorted letters from Sakaski's hands.

From the whispers of the crowd, Barrett learned the girl's name:
Sina Lulu

A very cute name. It has been more than ten years since Gragoel and I have been together. They have been accompanying and taking care of each other since they were orphans and wandering around.

They should have entered the marriage hall with blessings, but were separated by a small probability accident.

Barrett didn't understand how deep this emotion that had been with him for more than ten years was. He only knew that the girl who cursed "bastard" last night was forcing herself to smile in front of her beloved.

She kept expressing her longing for him and the childhood they had spent together in front of the beautiful box.

The entire scene seemed to be left with only the girl's increasingly weak voice, her choked throat rolling, and the soft sobs of a sentimental person could be heard in her ears.

The reproach behind you is like a breeze that can dissipate at any time.

The longing before my eyes is like the rising sun every day, eternal and warm.

【What are you looking forward to? 】

"Ah."

【Are you fantasizing? 】

"Ah."

【Realize the reality! Strength comes first! 】

"........."
