The days when I wanted to be a human being

Roger looked at Zhou Ling, who was soaking barefoot in the sea water, and handed the little Shanks to her, saying with a smile, "Great, it seems that you still have to take care of this child."

He knew exactly how Zhou Ling had used his mental power to calm little Shanks.

It is very likely that Zhou Ling has been taking care of him for the past six months, so little Shanks is so sensitive to Zhou Ling's aura.

"…Didn't I tell you that you brought the child back, so you should raise him. After all, I just appeared there suddenly."

Zhou Ling did not reach out to take Little Shanks, but continued to say expressionlessly, "Will this kid not be able to survive without me?"

"Miao, this kid woke up this morning and didn't see you, so he kept crying. Even the pacifier you left for him was useless. Could you bear to let him keep crying like this?"

Roger said as he glanced at the quiet child.

Then little Shanks looked at Roger's serious face in confusion and suddenly opened his mouth.

“Woooo ...

Zhou Ling curled her lips and took Little Shanks helplessly, "Remember to bring it back tonight, otherwise I will throw it into the sea to feed the fish."

As soon as the crying little Shanks was in Zhou Ling's arms, his wide-open mouth closed.

After seeing this scene, Roger finally showed his usual smile on his face.

"You see, this kid still needs you." Roger looked as if it was true. He put his straw hat on Shanks' head and laughed heartily. "Great, I'll leave this kid to you first. I'll come back in the evening."

"You'd better keep your word, otherwise..." Zhou Ling hugged little Shanks and suddenly felt that he was too soft-hearted.

After hearing Zhou Ling's warning words, Roger, who had already turned and walked out, said nothing and just waved his hand.

After watching Roger and his group come with laughter and leave with laughter.

She always felt something was wrong.

Zhou Ling looked down at the little Shanks with bright black eyes and smiled, "Hehe, you better behave yourself in the future."

……

Soon, the sun set, and Zhou Ling held little Shanks and sat in front of the cave dug by the auxiliary system, looking at the sky that was beginning to turn yellow.

The bad feeling in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Zhou Ling looked at the straw hat on Little Shanks' head and murmured with some anticipation:

"Roger... I hope you are a man of your word."

She knew how much Roger cherished the straw hat, and she could not believe the worst outcome.

But unfortunately, until the sky became completely dark, Zhou Ling still didn't wait for Roger to come and bring back little Shanks.

"call……"

Zhou Ling held little Shanks in his arms, jumped down the cave, and came to the ground.

"Xiao Kai, go and see if those guys are still there." Zhou Ling said coldly, holding little Shanks, looking expressionlessly at the starry sky that was already dotted with stars.

"If you don't find it, come back immediately."

"Yes, Master." "Boom!"

Watching the Flame Dragon Armor flying away, Zhou Ling didn't have much hope as to whether Roger was still in O'Hara.

After all, we can see the moon now, so if we wanted to come, we should have come earlier.

What worries her now is the child in her arms, Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the Grand Line in the future.

I didn't expect that her two lifetimes combined were less than thirty years, and she would have to start raising a child.

The crude plan made before must be overturned and redone.

Very annoying.

Zhou Ling really couldn't figure out what Roger was thinking to do such a thing.

Although she was angry, she had to arrange her next plan as soon as possible.

"Master, we have searched the entire island and the ten-kilometer sea area around the island, but have not found any trace of the Roger Pirates. Should we continue to expand the search range?"

Just as he was thinking about how to solve the troubles that might be encountered in the next ten years, he went out to find the auxiliary system of Roger and others and spoke.

"Forget it. You probably don't have much energy left. Come back if you can't find it."

After all, they had been digging the hole for most of the day, plus they had been searching on a large scale. She was really afraid that the Flame Dragon Armor would run out of energy and she would have to go out and pull it back.

If she was still alone it wouldn't be a big deal, as she would be sitting around doing nothing anyway, but now she has a child who can't take care of himself, and she is really annoyed.

……

The next morning, Zhou Ling woke up from the cave on the cliff, rubbed his eyes, and walked to the entrance of the cave.

She saw the sky and sea, still the same as before, and the white clouds dotted in the sky.

There were even a few turtles basking in the sun on the beach.

so good.

It would be better if there wasn't a little brat.

Zhou Ling sighed secretly in her heart. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she could go back to yesterday, she would definitely punch herself twice.

But now that things have come to this, she could only accept it helplessly.

Zhou Ling felt that her bottom line was actually quite flexible. As long as it didn't threaten her, no matter how big the matter was, it didn't matter. But if it concerned her, no matter how small it was, it had to be resolved.

She used her mental power to sense and found that little Shanks was still sleeping, so she directly asked the auxiliary system to go to the sea to catch fish.

Then she lay down near the cave exit and basked in the sun.

……

Soon, five years passed.

Zhou Ling continued to bask in the sun at the entrance of the cave, while the auxiliary system went down to the sea to fish.

The difference is that Shanks is running on the beach at this time.

"Miao...Aunt Miao, can I...can I stop running? I'm so tired."

Shanks said breathlessly as he ran.

The red-haired child's voice was very soft, but he knew that the woman basking in the sun on the cliff would definitely hear him.

"If you are tired, you can lick the pacifier I gave you. Don't be shy." After hearing what Shanks said, Zhou Ling followed Shanks with his mental power and said.

After years of hard work, she figured out how to use mental power for long-distance communication.

Shanks heard the voice next to him and shyly took the green pacifier hanging around his neck and put it in his mouth.

And the fact is, the pacifier does help him regain his strength.

"Tsk, your woman..."

Shanks waited until his strength recovered a little, spit out the green pacifier, and complained.

"call out!"

A small stone suddenly appeared and hit the back of his red-haired head.

"...Ah! I'll just run, please stop smashing me!" Shanks put on the straw hat tied behind his head to block the stones thrown at his head.

Zhou Ling's voice appeared in Shanks' ears, "How many times have I told you, you should be polite when talking to others?"

"You control me, you woman."

"Hmm?" Zhou Ling heard Shanks' slightly rebellious words and made a dull nasal sound.

"Ah! It's so annoying!"

Shanks yelled in frustration and continued running on the beach.

"Shanks, don't forget to practice sword skills." Zhou Ling glanced at Shanks who was helpless on the beach, smiled, and said something full of evil humor.

She had not forgotten that Future Shanks was a master with a sword, in fact a knife.

Zhou Ling felt that his talent should not be wasted, so he bought him a knife a long time ago.

Where did the money come from? Of course it came from selling fish.

Where did the fish come from?

Of course, it was the auxiliary system that caught it.
