Chapter 397: Bonus Chapter: Ten Years Later
Year 1533 of the Marine Calendar, People's United Government Member State - Amazon Lily.
A little boy who was 1.6 meters tall sniffed his nose, timidly probing the situation around him. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned back and said to the little girl next to him: "Sister Liana, no one is here, but are we really going out? Dad said that the White Sea is very dangerous."
Liana curled her lips: "Ail, you wouldn't be scared, would you? I thought you were a man!"
Ail's face turned red, and he patted his chest and said: "How is it possible, I have been practicing with my father as a goal! Don't forget, you have never beaten me!"
Liana made a face: "Shame, shame, what's there to be proud of in beating me? If you have the ability, go hunt a Sky Shark, then I'll count you as powerful!"
"Go, I'll go!"
"You go?"
"Don't stop me, I'll go right away!"
"I didn't stop you!"
Just as the two little guys were arguing, they suddenly felt their feet empty, and their necks were lifted by a big hand.
"You two little brats, actually dare to run out secretly behind our backs. If Maria hadn't told me, maybe you would have really run away? Tell me, who led it?"
"Him!" "Her!"
The two little radishes shouted in unison, and then stared at each other for a long time.
"Damn! You actually slandered me! It was clearly you who instigated me to run to the Sky Sea to play!"
"What? I clearly just made a suggestion, you..."
Karl sighed helplessly, held the two little guys in his arms, one on the left and one on the right, and kissed each of them: "Alright, alright, stop arguing, it's making my brain explode."
The two little guys snorted at each other and turned their heads away from each other.
"Do you want to go out that much?"
Liana looked at Karl in surprise and nodded frantically: "Mm-hmm, Dad, Amazon Lily is good, but I've played in every place here. But we know very little about the Blue Sea, so take us down to play!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Me too!"
"But, didn't your mother and I take you out to play three months ago? Why do you want to go out again?"
"Didn't play enough!" "I want to go to Marine Headquarters to play!"
"And me, besides Marine Headquarters, I also want to go to the Adventurer Guild! I want to be an adventurer!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it!"
Karl put them down and took out a Den Den Mushi: "Hey, darling."
"Mm, I'm here. Have Liana and Ail been found?"
"Found them. They want to go out to play. It just so happens that I'm preparing to go out, so I'll just take them with me!"
Hearing this, the two little guys were ecstatic, almost dancing with joy.
Hancock on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time and then said: "Is that so! Alright then! Be careful."
"Yay!"
"Don't you have anything to say to Mom?"
Liana took the Den Den Mushi from Karl's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, what do you want? We'll buy it for you after we go down!"
"Hehehe, as long as you have the heart, no matter what you buy for Mother, Mother will Move Move Like it."
"My turn, my turn!"
Ail grabbed the phone and said excitedly: "Mother, we will definitely listen to Dad, don't worry."
"Good, good, good, Ail baby is still obedient, hmm... Liana is also obedient, I wish you a good time! Give the Den Den Mushi back to Dad."
"Mm-hmm, Dad, here!"
Then Hancock chatted with Karl on the Den Den Mushi, saying some mushy things. Ten years later, the feelings between the two were still as strong as ever.
Until the two little guys couldn't wait any longer, Karl reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Shame, shame, why does Dad always say such mushy things to Mom!"
Karl said as a matter of course: "This is the secret to keeping love fresh, kids shouldn't ask." After speaking, Karl whistled.
"Caw!"
Raven descended from the sky and rubbed against the two little guys with his face.
"Uncle Raven!" *2.
"Caw, caw!"
"Sit tight, ready to set off!"
"Wuhu~ Take off!!!"
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"Caw~"
Hearing Raven's voice, the sentry Marine scratched his head in confusion: "Eh, this voice, so familiar?"
Bang!
"Baka, that's Raven, Marine hero Karl's sword and pet. Really, what kind of memory is that?"
"Very sorry, senior, Admiral Karl hasn't been here for too long, I might have forgotten."
The older Marine said with disappointment: "Still Admiral? Mr. Karl retired 10 years ago and only kept the title of Marine Hero. If you are lucky enough to see him, don't make such a low-level mistake, understand?"
"Yes!"
Marshal's Office.
"Knock, knock, knock! Uncle Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, open the door quickly! Guess who we are?"
"Idiot, you already said it!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, who had already received the news, happily opened the door and hugged Liana and Ail: "Oh my, you two little guys really change every year! I almost didn't recognize you!"
Liana said proudly: "That's for sure, I've been eating seriously every day!"
Ain said without showing weakness: "And me, I've been eating seriously too!"
"Hahahaha, that's right, you should do that. Only by eating well and sleeping well can you grow up fast!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan looked at Karl's still youthful face with a smile: "Why do you have time to come over today?"
Karl shrugged: "It's just that these two little guys are making a lot of noise. It just so happens that there's nothing to do, so I'll take them out to play."
"Also, children should go out and see the world, right? Liana, Ail?"
"Uncle Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan is right!"
"Alright, alright, you two go out and play! Be polite when you see people, understand?"
"Mm-hmm! Goodbye Uncle Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, goodbye Dad!"
Then the two little guys left the Marshal's office with laughter, not knowing where they went to play crazy. However, here, there should be no need to worry about their safety.
After all, not everyone is Shiki, Whitebeard...
"How is it, everything is going well, right?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan spread his hands: "Otherwise? The sea now is not what it was ten years ago. Now, it is the era of adventurers."
"Pirates can't just disappear, right?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan shook his head: "Of course not. Sometimes, adventurers and pirates are just a matter of thought."
"But this situation is not common. With the joint efforts of the United Government and the Adventurer Guild, it is not difficult to make a living."
Karl rubbed his chin: "Doesn't that just show that establishing the Adventurer Guild was the right choice?"
"The right choice? Of course, but why are you asking this?"
Karl smiled slightly: "After my son and daughter come of age, I will take them to join the Adventurer Guild together. For this, I have to wait another eight years!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan looked at Karl in surprise: "You, and your children, go to the Adventurer Guild? As adventurers?"
"No, there's also Hancock, Ain, our whole family, all going!"
