Donghai Windmill Village.

After Carl had dealt with the affairs of Rogue Town, he came here to visit Magino in his spare time.

By the way, I am going to take Lu Jiu and little Ace, who was born almost a year ago, to Rogue Town.

This is different from the original, due to the protection of Carl and Karp.

Little Ace was born without incident.

His name is still Portcas. D. Ace, who did not inherit Roger's surname.

But it was no surprise that he inherited the 'D' as well.

In the original anime, in order to avoid revealing his identity, Lu Jiu survived for 20 months before he was born.

However, Lu Jiu also died in childbirth, and in the end, if Karp hadn't found their mother and son.

I'm afraid that even Ace won't survive in the end.

But now it's completely different, Ace was born safely, and Lu Jiu didn't die due to dystocia.

The mother and son were very safe.

"Magino, are you saying that Roger, this bastard, is it too irresponsible?

Throw your wife and son to others like this, and then take the initiative to send them to death.

Although he is said to be terminally ill and has no cure, he has at least two or three years to live.

If he is willing to stay, it is not a big deal to be executed later. ”

Carl spat while drinking.

Magino glared at Carl and took the bottle away from Carl's eyes.

"Look at you, you're talking about someone's father again! I see you've drunk too much too, and you're not allowed to drink any more! ”

"How much can I drink? How much do you look down on me? Hiccup~"

Hearing Magino's words, Carl pretended to be angry and yelled, but he burped too hard.

Carl scratched his head in embarrassment and sat back in his chair, and Magino was equally amused.

"Okay, if you want to drink, why don't you come over at any time?

Don't you have other things to do today, and I'm asking you to drink a little less for your own good! ”

Magino obediently lay on the front desk, staring at Carl with her big eyes.

Suddenly, being stared at by Magino like this, Carl was a little uncomfortable.

"You're busy first, I'll go find Lu Jiu and Ace!"

Being stared at by the lovely Magino, Carl felt a little uncomfortable all over.

He had no choice but to flee first, causing Maggino to laugh.

A moment later.

Carl arrives at the hut that the villagers have built for Lujiu.

This is the home of Lujiu and Ace.

It's very simple, but it's all in the box.

There are a lot of things that should be there, and with Carl and Karp here, naturally they will not treat their mother and son badly.

"Little Ace, I'm coming to see you!"

As soon as Carl tightened the yard, he rushed up and hugged little Ace, and then he said hello to Lu Jiu next to him.

"How's it going?"

"Thanks to you and Karp, it's been pretty good lately, but Ace, the kid, is getting more and more naughty."

Lu Jiu chuckled.

Although her words sounded like she was talking about Ace, her tone was quite gentle, and her expression was full of doting.

In her eyes, Ace is her baby, and of course she is reluctant to reprimand.

Hearing Lu Jiu say this, Carl nodded and was relieved.

But just as he was about to speak, little Ace in his arms suddenly punched and kicked himself and whimpered softly!

"Bad guys! Let go of me! ”

Little Ace's milky voice is very cute, but Carl is a little surprised.

The last time he met little Ace, he was only a month old!

But I didn't expect that it had only been about half a year, and he could even speak!

What a god exaggeration!

Although it is said that the development of children in the One Piece world is not very normal.

When Carl himself was born into this world, it would take a year before he could speak and move around normally

But he didn't expect that little Ace was born until now, and he hasn't had a year, but he can already run and jump around, and now he is struggling desperately!

It's a pity that his strength is so small that he can't break free from Carl's bear hug.

"Little Ace, you're so cute!"

Carl hugged him for a while, then put Ace down.

He kept pinching the time, and waited until it was seven or eight seconds before he put Ace back on the ground.

When Ace was born, Carl had already triggered little Ace's check-in task.

But Carl didn't want to complete the check-in directly, but to raise it for two years.

After all, Ace is still young, and even if Carl signs in, there is no way to get any good abilities.

"Mom, this weirdo is so scary!"

Ace hadn't seen Carl before, and Carl was a bear hug as soon as he came up, which made Ace a little scared.

Lu Jiu smiled and rubbed Ace's hair, then held him in her arms.

"Ace, he is one of the benefactors who protects us, and he is also the brother Carl I often tell you about."

"Hey, hey! That's right, that's me! Call a brother to listen? ”

Karl smiled as he thought he was handsome, and pulled his face up.

But little Ace showed a frightened expression and buried his face in Lu Jiu's chest.

"Mom, he's so scary......"

"This kid ......"

Lu Jiu shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Carl, after all, he is not even a year old, and he is still very afraid of life, you can bear it more." ”

"It's okay, we will get along for a long time in the future, and I will slowly let him know me

Although there is strict discipline in the navy, you can still come and go freely with me, but be careful not to be accidentally injured by those navies who are training. ”

Hearing Carl's words, Lu Jiu was taken aback: "Are you going to take him away now?"

But he's still a child, not even a year old! ”

"I can't help it, now the Navy and CP9 are very close, and it is equally dangerous to stay here.

And I want to take the two of you together, not just him, you don't have to worry about no one taking care of little Ace. ”

Karl said helplessly.

Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

If she takes Ace alone, she might get angry.

But when the two of them walked together, she was a lot more relaxed.

Because she didn't believe that Carl could take care of Ace, who let him talk to Karp before, it was too terrifying.

"Simply pack your bags and we'll leave as soon as we can."

"Got it."

Lu Jiu nodded, and then went back to the house to organize her salute.

Ace looked at Carl cautiously, with a pair of big eyes that were bright and very cute.

"If you can protect us, it means that you are strong, but are you as strong as my father?"

Suddenly, little Ace asked such a question, which made Carl stunned.

Carl squatted down and gently rubbed Ace's little head twice and said.

"Your father is strong, arguably one of the strongest people in this world, certainly stronger than me."

"Then how could he still die? Mom has been refusing to tell me how he died, can you tell me?

How about you say, 'I'm going to call you brother from now on?' ”

Hearing Ace's question, Carl didn't know how to answer it at all.

I can't say that his father was stabbed by himself, right?

Although he just took advantage of it and beheaded him on the execution table.

But this kind of question, Carl is really difficult to answer.
