Chapter 266 Be sure to read what the writer says

Spring goes and autumn comes, and more than a year has passed quietly.

The sea was not peaceful, as news came one after another:
[“Hero of the GM Army”, the former rookie pirate Moriah appeared in the country of yellow sand, Alabasta, and fought with the “Sand Crocodile” Crocodile. The two fought for a whole day and night without a clear winner.

Finally, the “Flame Dragon” Jin stepped in and injured Crocodile, who then fled. 】

[The former “Hundred Beasts” Kaido is still alive in the mysterious country of Wano. An unknown war breaks out, and Nasdaq Barrett, the adopted son of Nasdaq Ross, successfully kills him completely!

The founder of the World Economic News laughed for two days about this news. It was unbelievable that a person could be attacked by others for two generations. It was really too unlucky.

[The legendary devil fruit, the mythical beast species Blue Dragon Fruit has been confirmed to have been found and has been eaten by Nasdaq Barrett. “Uranus” Barrett has officially arrived at the top of the sea!
He is the guardian of the ghost princess and the uncrowned king of the sky! 】

[The contemporary Queen of the Kingdom of Women, Lilia Hannah, sent a message to the sea, saying that if Nasdaq Barrett is willing to accept her love, she is willing to give him everything!
We still don’t know what happened in the mysterious daughter country in recent months. The three insiders have been strongly condemned by Mr. Morgans. They actually beat up reporters for no reason! How rude! 】

[The Ranger Adventure Group announced to the world their disbandment on the first day of the Haiyuan calendar year 1496, and their story will forever remain on that day.

Nasdaq Alexander is a great adventurer. His adventure notes are completely frozen in his journey to Wano Country in the New World, and there will be no subsequent journey.

This is terrible news. Mr. Morgause expressed great regret. One of his weekly sources of happiness has disappeared forever. This is really terrible news. 】

…………

“How was it, did you have fun playing outside?”

Looking at the four people going home together, Ross raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was a little confused. According to his estimation, Alexander would not choose to come back until at least Roger’s death.

The beginning of the Great Pirate Era was inevitable and extremely cruel, especially the Fishman Island, the only way to the New World and the first half of the Grand Line.

There will be one or even several large-scale pirate raids there. Even if Alexander doesn’t want to come back, given his relationship with Jinbe, the adventure group will be disbanded on the spot.

As for the remaining few people who were willing to follow him to Yun Island, no one knew.

At least for now, it seems that his friends all have somewhere to go, and none of them have come back with him except Bu Ding, who is half his daughter-in-law.

As for why it is half? Those who have not married are not considered formal, and the world in both the past and present lives is pretty much the same in this regard.

“Of course I am happy. I really don’t want to leave those days. But there is no place in this world where we can have adventures anymore. Instead of going out to play, I think it is better to go home and fulfill my responsibilities as a son.”

Alexander and Buting were sitting together in the living room. He looked at his father who was also sitting on the sofa in front of him and spoke frankly.

There was indeed a lot of reluctance in his tone, but it seemed particularly mature in his deep voice.

Ross nodded and said:

“You’ve grown up~ But there’s nothing much to do at home. You’re definitely not happy about being the head of the family and managing Cloud Island. With your personality, you can go and learn from your brother, or just stay and be an instructor, how about that?”

“Hahaha, no problem. Just follow your arrangements, father. I don’t care.”

Alexander nodded. He was not dissatisfied with Ross’s arrangement. He was indeed not suitable to be the head of the family, nor did he want to be one. It was too tiring. It would be better for him to have some free time and be with Bu Dingni every day.

and……

He glanced at Bu Ding who was in his arms. The girl’s hands were rubbing against each other in front of her belly, showing her shyness and entanglement. She seemed to feel the gaze of her lover, and a faint cloud suddenly appeared on her face.

He had another reason to disband the adventure team. The young man who had tasted the forbidden fruit once wanted to give Buting a stable home as soon as possible. His sense of responsibility as a man made him dare not continue to adventure outside with her.

If you get infected one day, the situation will be very difficult to deal with. There is no safe place in this dangerous new world, and this is not an exaggeration.

Perhaps he inherited his father’s stable character. After finding love, his concern for his family’s safety rose to a somewhat extreme level.

“Brother is really impatient, hehe, you really look like that bitch Hannah… cough cough, sorry, I couldn’t help but say swear words, I don’t want to see that woman again in my life.”

Mona originally wanted to tease her dear brother, but anger soon took over her consciousness. After mentioning the name, she instinctively added two extremely humiliating words after it.

Of course, she also knew that this was not allowed, especially at home, so she immediately stopped teasing and apologizing, while also holding Barrett’s arms tightly and not letting go, as if she was afraid that he would be snatched away.

“Well, it seems that the news is true. I didn’t expect that Mr. Morgans really didn’t lie to me. By the way, sister, what does the current queen of Nine Snake Island look like? Is she really more than three meters tall as the rumors say, and her appearance is even better than Charlotte and Flame Flower in the past?”

Alexander waved his hand nonchalantly, inquiring for information, then looked at Mona with a smile on his face, looking forward to her answer.

The current empress of Nine Snake Island is a mysterious figure. No portrait of her has been circulated on the sea so far, just like the previous empress.

“Okay, you better take care of yourself first. When are you going to marry Little Buting? How big will the wedding be?”

Seeing that his daughter’s eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, Ross had to interrupt her in order to ensure that his son could have a wonderful nightlife in the next few days, and turned around to ask about a special topic.

Unlike his eldest son, Yatuo, his wedding must not be a grand one, but there is no problem between Alexander and Buting.

Their wedding can send a special message to the outside world that their Nasdaq family is completely different from the formal aristocratic families. Even an ordinary girl can join this huge family.

Alexander was lost in thought over this question, while Buddin in his arms was lost in joy and great shyness, completely burying himself in his lover’s chest, unable to extricate himself.

According to Ross’s observation Haki, the little girl was only one stimulation away from fainting. She was unexpectedly shy. She didn’t expect that the types of girls her two sons liked were so… contrasting?
“Oh, by the way, Barrett, when are you going to propose to my daughter? This is my reward for you. How about it? Do you like it?”

Suddenly, Ross turned his head and looked at Barrett, but the other party’s mind suddenly froze at this moment, and he sat there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

Barrett completed all the tasks assigned to him brilliantly. He not only brought back four mythical beast-type devil fruits, but also got a small piece of “pure gold”.

That piece of “pure gold” was really very small, only as big as a baby’s fist, but it contained the essence of an entire super-giant lantern fish sea king.

Mission accomplished. Ross naturally would not forget what he had promised that year, so he said it on the spot without hesitation.

He didn’t have anything to give to Barrett. Perhaps the only thing he lacked now was his own recognition of their love, which was something he had already arranged.

Even if Barrett failed to complete this mission, he would find any other mission for him to complete, and then say this sentence as a reward.

Overall, it’s just a necessary formality.

“Dad~!”

Mona screamed shyly, looking very excited. She covered her mouth with one hand and said nothing more.

“Call me father, Mona. Please be a little more formal in front of me…” Ross was helpless about how to address his daughter. This sea was very magical. Children seemed to address their father more often as “Daddy”, which was… quite embarrassing. Anyway, he felt that it didn’t sound very nice.

He smiled, and together with Alexander, who was also smiling at the two of them, waited quietly for Barrett to come back to his senses.

……………

At the end of the year 1496 in the Haiyuan calendar, three newspaper stories that were widely praised in the World Economic News completely made the sea boil!
How a Brave Man is Made

The Ghost Knight

“Redemption from the Depths of the Heart”

They depict the life of the same person from three different perspectives, and they are all written by very interesting people.

The first book is about Nasdacross, the heroine’s father.

The second book is about Morentmora, the heroine’s mother and herself.

The third book, Nasdaq Barrett, is about the protagonist himself.

Until the months-long serialization was completed, no one knew their true identities, nor did anyone know that the three newspaper stories actually portrayed the same person.

Young people with dreams believe that they are also a piece of steel that is being tempered. Countless dreamers will continue to train themselves to become “warhead soldiers” as their goal.

Innocent children like the story of a brave man marrying a princess after defeating a dragon, especially the novel companion setting, where the brave man and the princess defeat the dragon together!

The redemption from the bottom of their hearts made many people no longer confused, especially in the capital city that was at war. Soldiers looked forward to the redemption of newspaper stories every week, which gave them hope for the future on the battlefield of blood and fire.

These three stories themselves are nothing special, until the very end, when the prototypes of the protagonists and the authors are revealed, along with the wedding of Barrett and Mona.

From a boy scout soldier, to a knight chosen by the princess, and finally to a dragon slayer, and finally to a prince who marries the princess.

It seems like the stories of four people, but they are all narrated by the same person!
Such a legendary and dreamy story truly unfolds on the sea, and there are traces to follow.

Among the old men in the New World’s Endless War Country, there was also a claim that there was a Boy Scout soldier who looked almost exactly like Barrett, but he later mysteriously disappeared.

If we compare Barrett’s age and the time he was adopted, the probability that the two are the same person is as high as over 90%!
Even Roger, who was completing his final voyage, couldn’t help but express his feelings. He hoped to experience this once, and it would definitely be a wonderful and perfect journey!
“Barrett, you know, if I were allowed to choose again, I might take you away when I found you, instead of choosing to ignore you and let you suffer for two more years.”

On Cloud Island, late at night, after coaxing his newlywed wife to sleep, Barrett came to Rossburg’s yard. Ross had been waiting there with a box of good wine, sitting on the soft clouds.

Barrett came over and sat on the ground, his face still retaining the blush from his first night as an adult, which took a long time to dissipate.

“GuluGulu~GuluGulu~”

He unceremoniously pulled out a bottle of wine from the wine box, flipped the cap with his thumb, drank it, and then said slowly:

“I don’t want that.”

“Why? Wouldn’t it be nice to have two years less of suffering?”

“But if that were the case, I wouldn’t have become dull since I’ve never experienced betrayal. Maybe even if you took me away, I wouldn’t have been liked by Mona like I am now.”

Barrett shook his head slightly and said:

“If I hadn’t been in a daze in front of the hut, Mona might not have noticed a weirdo like me, and would not have been willing to talk to me, teach me to read, and take me out to play.

I might have more, but I might also have missed out on a lot of things that I regret now, right? “

“That’s it…”

Ross nodded, also pried open a bottle of wine with his thumb and started drinking.

When the bottle of wine was emptied in one gulp, he slowly took out two perfectly carved rings from his clothes. They were both wrapped in a special layer of cloud with gems inlaid on them.

After handing it to Barrett, he said slowly:

“Tell it to my daughter in person. It is the key to eternal life. I hope you can love Mona as much as you do now. Time will change many things. It is an extremely terrifying force, but it is also something that people instinctively desire before they come into contact with it.

Don’t worry, I’m not worried that you will forget your original intention. You have a domineering color, a domineering color that belongs only to you and Mona, so you don’t need to promise anything. This is just a symbolic warning from a father. “

“………”

Barrett didn’t say anything. He nodded, took it and put it away, but didn’t put it on immediately.

Ross had already told him about the side effects of pure gold, but now was not the right time.

I think Mona will be very happy when she knows this. After all, she can stay young and beautiful forever, and they can be together forever.

“By the way, Barrett, how about I tell you a story? A…very long story.”

“You say.”

“That was when I just woke up on an isolated island. At that time, I was just an abandoned child…”

　The book should end here. Yes, it has a bad ending. In fact, the author has long run out of inspiration for the sequel. I am aware that it gets worse and worse as it goes on.

Giving Barrett a perfect ending was my last resort. I really like this character, and the only one who can compare with him is Sakaski. If I were to write another One Piece fan fiction, it would probably be to raise him again.

I have already decided on the next book, Naruto + Black Mythology. The protagonist Uzumaki Maru guides Naruto to become the Destined Man and helps him collect “Roots”. It is also a process of raising a child, but I plan to write that the two are the same age and the same clan.

I will start preparing the manuscript during the seven days of National Day, and if nothing goes wrong, the book will be published on October 10th.

This book will continue to be updated until that day, so please don’t subscribe to the subsequent chapters, I guess they are all written randomly by me! I’ll just pass by my daily routine.

(I will take a day off tomorrow and go out to eat with my friends on National Day)
I have taken note of all the mistakes and lessons learned from this book, and I will never make the same mistakes again in my next book. If I do, I will overturn them and rewrite them and add another 4,000 words!

Don’t doubt it. When I first put it on the shelves, I worked on it every day for eight days and only had a few days of rest. If you have manuscripts saved, you don’t have to worry about updates.

Finally, I want to say sorry and thank you to the readers who have been following me, and say sorry to the readers who have left…
