Chapter 98: Fifteenth Day After Returning Home (210,000 Nutrient Solution Plus) How...

Fifteenth day after returning home:

Hawkeye glanced at the boy's slender arms and legs and said calmly, "Are you trying to challenge me? You're far from qualified right now."

"What... I'll continue to grow! Stop being so arrogant!"

"You're being rather arrogant now, aren't you?" Hawkeye stopped looking at him and slowly turned the pages of his newspaper. "Then wait until you're older before you say something like that."

Ace was embarrassed and walked away angrily.

As soon as he went out, he saw Sabo playing music for the crops. He walked over and looked around for someone: "Where's Luffy?"

"He was just there..." After Sabo confirmed that all the plants had heard the music, he turned off the phonograph and began searching. "Is he going to the Piranha Plant again?"

To ensure a steady supply of leafy flesh, Wendy planted a Piranha Plant on her ship. However, harvesting a Piranha Plant requires skill, and without her system's built-in harvesting skills, she could easily be devoured by the plant.

Luffy knew that the Piranha Plant produced leafy flesh, and curious about the smell of the leafy flesh, he went over and was swallowed. Wendy released Abigail with a ham stick and was about to go over to fight her, but was stopped in time by Hawkeye, who went to pick Luffy up instead - if they really fought together, Luffy would be beaten as well.

Therefore, Sabo stood up skillfully: "Then I will go find Mihawk..."

"I don't want to go looking for him!" Ace frowned, his attitude becoming a little awkward. "Let's try looking for him ourselves first."

The two brothers eventually found Luffy on the shore—he was with Wendy. Wendy was building a Ferris wheel. Using an autopilot kit and a lighthouse, she installed it on her pancake boat, creating a perpetual motion machine that would spin in circles.

Wendy spotted Ace and Sabo, waved, and happily shouted, "Ace! Sabo! Come look at my Ferris wheel! This one's even cooler than the one at Bubble Park in the Sabaody Archipelago! I had to find some scrap wire to make it!"

The three of them had always been very supportive of everything Wendy brought out, and this time was no exception, not to mention that the automatically rotating Ferris wheel was indeed very interesting.

Four people were playing on the Ferris wheel at sea, but because they were bored of just following the movement, the three kids started jumping around on the five rotating boats, causing the originally stable range to deviate from the course. The boats hit the shore and started to have holes, so they started to frantically repair the boats.

When it was almost dark, Hawkeye came over with a lamp and saw Wendy with an unhappy face and the three little ones with their heads lowered as if to admit their mistakes.

Hawkeye looked at the boats huddled together on the shore and thought he understood something. He walked over and asked, "It's almost dark. Why are you still out there?"

These words were not spoken to the three children, but to Wendy—because only Wendy could not stay in the dark.

Although the three are young, they are full of energy and strong in combat. If you leave them in the forest late at night, you don't have to worry about not being able to defeat the wild beasts in the forest.

"My Ferris wheel was broken in an instant," Wendy complained, and she also issued a punishment. "They can only eat vegetables tonight!"

…Although it’s not a very severe punishment, looking at Luffy’s expression of despair, I feel that this is the most effective.

Hawkeye sighed: "Let's go back first."

"I need to recycle the materials first!" Wendy took out a hammer. "Mihawk, it's getting dark. Please help me take a photo."

"You three go back first and take your food from the refrigerator. Don't steal the meat. The portions in the refrigerator are clearly marked. I'll check later. If I'm caught, the punishment will be extended to a week."

After giving instructions to the three little ones, Hawkeye stayed where he was and provided light for Wendy.

Wendy smashed all the autopilots over there and only returned after all the materials were collected. Because of the overall humidity of the sea water, her sanity started to drop and her values ​​became less healthy.

To this end, she went over and stretched out her hands to Hawkeye: "Mihawk, carry me back! Go faster!"

"I hope next time you will say hello to me before you come out to build this Ferris wheel, instead of trying to get away with it by acting like a spoiled child afterwards." Hawkeye mentioned this, but in the end he could only walk back holding her in one hand and holding the lantern in the other.

Wendy put her arms around his neck, her hair still feeling slightly damp against his neck, and replied, "I wanted to tell you that, but you were talking to Ace, so I brought Luffy here to play first."

"...You two, the only landlubbers on the island, are brave enough to venture into the sea? At least bring Sabo along."

"Sabo was helping me take care of the crops at the time."

Hawkeye: "..." Well, it's true that nothing can stop this guy from asking the children to help with the work.

Wendy blinked over there and continued slowly, "And I knew you would come find me, Mihawk."

"..." Hawkeye glanced at her, "Sometimes I really don't know if you are pretending to be stupid."

Wendy: “What?”

Hawkeye: "Nothing."

The ASL trio who returned early carefully collected the grown crops and went to sleep.

Just when Luffy opened the refrigerator to eat, Sabo and Ace stopped him from stuffing the monster meat into his mouth.

"Idiot! Do you think you won't be able to eat meat for a week?"

"Mihawk is very serious about this, he really knows how to count!"

Late in the evening, Hawkeye was having a sip of red wine - he didn't drink that often normally, but recently he felt that if he didn't finish his stash of wine quickly, it might be destroyed by his children at any time, so he decided to take it out and drink it first.

Wendy was over there, warming herself by the fire and drinking a vegetable cocktail - it was too humid, we needed to reduce the humidity and restore the sun.

After her energy returned to normal, she went over to play with Hawkeye - because she was bored and had nothing to do there, and she didn't need to sleep.

The three ASL kids played around in the room for a while and then all lay down on the bed.

The castle was big enough and there were plenty of empty rooms, enough for three rooms for each person, but they liked to stay together and the rooms were spacious enough, so the three of them lived in one room together.

Maybe it was because they only ate vegetables tonight, or maybe someone was worried, but none of the three of them fell asleep immediately after lying in bed.

"We're Wendy's children now, right?" Ace asked. "But what did Wendy mean by waiting two years?"

"According to the timeline, there's only a year and a half left, right?" Sabo pondered. "I don't know. Wendy mentioned some new features and mods. It seems like they'll add our names somewhere, officially adopting us."

Ace questioned, "Is there a ceremony like a wedding?"

Luffy only heard half of it while half asleep: "What? Are we all going to marry Wendy then?"

Ace: "No! It's adoption!"

Luffy nodded, "Well, Mihawk said that just like the Pirate King, there can only be one Wendy's husband. If we want to marry Wendy, we need to defeat Mihawk."

...That man said that to Luffy? Does he think being Wendy's husband is on the same level as being the Pirate King? —Ace was a little stunned.

…Even if that's the case, I can't relax! Dadan said men are fickle! And he even laughed at me before! —Ace clenched his fists and made up his mind: "I will defeat him sooner or later!"

Luffy turned over and asked curiously, "So, Ace, do you want to marry Wendy?"

"No, Luffy, you don't understand. Since we are Wendy's children, we have to be careful." Ace said this in a condescending manner, then turned to look at Sabo, "Sabo, are you close to him?"

"Hmm...it's okay. Mihawk is easy to get along with. And I like him better than my previous father." Sabo was still thinking, "I have completely severed ties with my previous parents, so after Mihawk and Wendy get married, Mihawk will also be my father. In order not to embarrass Wendy, I have to get along well with him."

"Have you just accepted it? We only acknowledged Wendy as our mother. We never said we had to acknowledge that man as well, right?" Ace complained, "What about Luffy? He still has his own father!"

Luffy retorted with a puzzled look on his face: "It doesn't matter. Since we can have two mothers, we can of course have two fathers. It's just that Shanks can't marry Wendy... otherwise we can have a third father."

"That's not how it's calculated at all!" Ace yelled at him, "And why are there more and more dads?"

God knows he actually doesn't want any of them!

In the end, the topic of "How many fathers do we have" ended abruptly - because the three of them fell asleep while chatting.

When Wendy woke up the next day, she had calmed down.

She called the three little ones to go over there and smash the newly grown marble with the baboons, while she was cooking over there - because there were more people, the food consumption suddenly increased, and the amount she had previously stored suddenly decreased.

Therefore, she specially cultivated a spare piece of land and planted new seeds - new unknown seeds sent by the bear.

While she was sowing the seeds, the others were also busy. ASL was there helping to harvest the grown crops, and each of them used a hammer to hit the crops to obtain seeds and fruits.

The three children were even more energetic than the average child. They never complained of being tired, nor did they avoid working. They even found it quite novel. Wendy also gave each of them a straw hat. Except for Luffy, who had his own straw hat.

Luffy was still saying with a tone of sudden enlightenment: "So this is what the fruits in the fields look like... They are very different from those growing on trees in the forest."

Sabo also nodded: "It turns out that the crops in the fields grow so fast..."

Ace echoed, "Yeah, so when you crack a big fruit, smaller ones fall out..."

"..." Hawkeye on the side was about to speak but stopped talking - no, this knowledge is completely wrong... But he didn't know how to correct their thinking.

Wendy came over at this time, hands on her hips and retorted: "No! It's only like this when growing giant crops! Normally, they don't grow that many! Come, let me teach you the ratio of giant crops..."

"..." Hawkeye couldn't help but close his eyes - forget it, with a mother like this, they are destined to not have any common sense in this regard.

Feeling he couldn't leave the four of them alone at home, Hawkeye had no intention of attending the Shichibukai meeting this time—it wasn't anything important to discuss anyway. More important was the quadrennial World Conference, which was likely just a symbolic gathering of the Shichibukai, so few would attend.

He was still vaguely wary - Doflamingo, as the King of Dressrosa, would attend this World Conference... Wendy had already revealed his coordinates in the newspaper, and he wondered if he would make any unusual moves.

only……

Wendy took the initiative to ask, "Mihawk, are you going to the Shichibukai Conference this time? I'll go with you. The newspaper said that the World Conference will be held soon, and many nobles and Celestial Dragons will be in attendance. I want to go there to see if there are any Celestial Dragons."

Hawkeye: “…” Are you planning to purchase goods?

"The Shichibukai meeting? Can I go and see?" Sabo leaned over the table, his tone full of curiosity, "I want to see how this system is implemented."

"If Wendy and Sabo are going, then I'll go too." Ace followed Sabo and lay down.

Luffy squeezed in as well: "Where are you going?"

Hawkeye: “…”

What's going on? I've never heard of any of the Shichibukai meeting bringing their families on a trip together.
