Chapter 100: Seventeenth Day After Returning Home (220,000 Nutrient Solution Plus) You...
Seventeenth day after returning home:
When Garp and Sengoku found Wendy, she was using a net to catch butterflies and plant flowers.
Because she planted several more beehives, she needed to plant more flowers so that the bees would have enough flowers to collect nectar, and so that the bees would not fly around to their daily activity areas and attack people.
Zhan Guo also followed along and saw the entire view of Wendy and Hawkeye's house... What a huge field! Such neat planting! It made the eerie castle seem ordinary!
Seeing this scene, Zhan Guo's previous doubts about Wendy's origins were dispelled a lot - the player obviously had great ambitions and strong goals, which were incompatible with Wendy's home-based farming style.
That's right, Zhan Guo had already started thinking about matching Wendy with the player. CP0 had come to him and asked about the relationship between Wendy and Garp.
Sengoku knew Wendy was Garp's niece, and likely adopted by Garp as his own daughter. Even Sengoku couldn't have foreseen that this change was initially due to a newspaper misreporting, and that Garp and Wendy, one careless and unwilling to question the setting, simply accepted it without any discussion.
CP0 only asked Wendy about her background and then went to Garp to ask about it. However, Garp cursed and didn't give her any face.
Because of this incident, Zhan Guo knew that CP0 suspected that Wendy was a player. He specifically summoned Aokiji, who had confronted the player, to question him and learned that Wendy and the player looked very similar.
But he didn't delve into this. After the matter had been handed over to CP0, it was no longer under his jurisdiction. Having served as a marshal for so many years, he had encountered many situations where compromise was necessary, and he knew exactly how to proceed in such situations.
But the matter of Rosinante was still a knot in his heart. Now that there was someone involved here, he decided to come over and ask about it.
"Uncle Zhan Guo, are you here to visit?"
Wendy stopped only after she had used up all the net in her hand. She ran over and stuck to Hawkeye, hugged his waist and looked at the person who came.
Hawkeye put his arm around her shoulders and spoke to her, "They have something to tell you."
Wendy nodded: "Okay, wait for me."
She first went to put the butterflies she had caught in the refrigerator, planning to plant them together later, and then went to meet Zhan Guo in the living room. Garp, on the other hand, went out to look for his three grandchildren and called Hawkeye away, clearly wanting Zhan Guo and Wendy to talk alone.
Hawkeye glanced at Wendy and thought that judging from her dedication to raising children, the children's true identities would not be exposed, so he ignored her and left.
"I came here because I have something to ask you..." Zhan Guo said, paused, and interrupted, "Are those three children outside your children, Wendy?"
"Yeah." Wendy nodded, then showed a wary look, "Why are you asking this? Are you trying to steal it? I won't give it to you."
"No, no! Of course it's yours, Wendy!" Zhan Guo waved his hands repeatedly, feeling a little embarrassed - this child's thinking is really jumpy sometimes.
"I want to ask...how did Rosinante die?" Zhan Guo hesitated for a moment, but still asked, and tried to take care of the other party's feelings and patch it up. "I know it was Doflamingo who did it..."
Wendy thought for a moment and described: "Dover wanted me to kill Rossi, but I disagreed. Dover pointed the gun at me, and then Rossi stood in front of me, so Dover killed Rossi."
Warring States: "..."
Although he asked for details, Zhan Guo couldn't help but have one thought echoing in his heart - I deserve to die!
Because of this critical hit, Zhan Guo wanted to retreat.
But there is one more important thing...
He looked at Wendy, staring at her closely, and slowly said, "Are there any undercover agents from the Don Quixote family in the navy?"
This is the possibility that Zhan Guo came to after carefully considering the cause and effect of this matter.
He didn't actually expect Wendy to answer. In his opinion, Wendy was already with Hawkeye, and Hawkeye's attitude was... pretty much known to anyone who read the newspaper. He was also well aware of the power of the Shichibukai. If Wendy wanted revenge, Hawkeye would have a good chance of winning against Doflamingo... but she hadn't made any requests.
She also didn't go to see Doflamingo later. He listened to the entire process of the last Shichibukai meeting... He thought that maybe Wendy still had feelings for the Donquixote family...
"Ah, yes." Wendy nodded and answered generously without pausing for thought. "It's Virgo. He was the previous Corazon of Rocinante. I remember I mentioned this before... didn't you know?"
Warring States: "..."
Well, it can be seen that this is not just a lack of affection, but there is no extra emotion at all! Neither positive nor negative!
And he'd actually already said that... I'm going to give Garp a good beating when I get back! — This was what Sengoku thought, not realizing that Wendy had told Ryuu and therefore assumed she'd already said it, thus not telling Garp at all.
So far, the purpose of the Warring States period has been achieved.
As for how to find the undercover agent and how to deal with it, it has nothing to do with Wendy.
After thanking Wendy, Zhan Guo hurried away, and called Garp who was fighting with the three children over there to test their current skills.
Hawkeye looked anxious as Zhan Guo left, and apart from glancing at Sabo, he didn't do anything else. He knew that Wendy hadn't revealed any information...
...Or maybe it could be changed to not revealing any information that shouldn't be revealed. — Hawkeye thought so after learning about the conversation between Wendy and Sengoku.
Sabo was still a little worried, so he leaned over and quietly asked Wendy, "Wendy, is it okay for the Admiral to see Ace?"
Wendy nodded seriously: "It's okay, I've already told him that he can't take the child from me."
"That's not what I meant..." Sabo paused, turned to look at Hawkeye, and asked again, "Mihawk, is it okay for the Admiral to see Ace?"
"It's okay, there won't be a problem." Hawkeye also looked at Sabo for this - maybe it was because he had experience in the Revolutionary Army that he would think more carefully... At present, he has surpassed Wendy in this aspect.
Although in fact, among the three children, only Luffy and Wendy are comparable in this respect, he couldn't help but wonder whether Garp and Wendy are really related by blood.
After receiving Hawkeye's assurance, Sabo breathed a sigh of relief, said something to Wendy, and ran out to find his two brothers.
Wendy, who was standing aside, looked at Hawkeye with innocent eyes.
Hawkeye sighed and asked without explaining, "Do you think Ace's biological father's identity is a problem?"
Wendy was confused: "Why? It's just One Piece."
...It's really just that to you. - Hawkeye thought silently in his heart, his expression did not change much: "Nothing, just Sabo is worried. Don't you still have to plant flowers?"
"Oh, I almost forgot... I have to finish planting it before dark!" Wendy ran to the kitchen to get the butterfly that was stuffed in the refrigerator and continued her flower-planting career.
After seeing her run out the door, Hawkeye spoke to the window, "Did you hear that?"
After a long while, half a head popped out from the window, his brows still furrowed, and he didn't say anything.
"Do you need me to repeat it again?"
"...No need." Ace leaned over the window ledge with his hands on his shoulders, sticking his head out. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "I know Wendy doesn't care...but does she really need me?"
Hawkeye was silent.
Even he was too embarrassed to tell the child, "Your mother really needs you." Just because you are the only one among the three brothers who has not yet made a clear plan for the future, she has already planned it for you and wants you to drive Pluto.
"You are still young, so take your time to think about this kind of question. Maybe you will have the answer when you grow up." Hawkeye replied.
If he still hasn't figured it out by the time he grows up, Wendy will have arranged everything for him. And there's no way he can escape it.
"...Yeah." Ace nodded heavily and walked down from the windowsill. He disappeared for a moment before returning. "I acknowledge you for now. But I'll still keep an eye on you!"
Hawkeye didn't look at him, and calmly poured himself a glass of wine: "Okay, got it."
***
Because she had harvested fresh honey, Wendy made some other dishes tonight - honey ham and honey-braised pork.
Luffy liked it very much and ate a lot. His stomach was bloated, causing Hawkeye to look at him sideways frequently, the smiles on his two brothers' faces disappeared, and Wendy's expression became more and more solemn.
"You can't eat anymore when you're full! It's such a waste to eat after your satiety level is full!" Wendy shouted.
It's not a waste issue at all, is it? — the other three thought.
But Luffy is really good at eating meat. It seems that he has overeaten to the point where he needs to see a doctor. He touched his round belly and it suddenly returned to normal, shocking even Hawkeye.
Could this be the effect of the rubber fruit? — Hawkeye was puzzled.
The children were fine, so they were left alone. Wendy only watched as the meat intake was greatly reduced, so she sent the children out hunting the next day.
This was outside the three brothers' comfort zone, so they went into the forest and ran wildly.
Wendy was scratching her head as she looked at the latest issue of the newspaper Hawkeye handed her.
"Settling in Wan Guo..." Wendy pondered.
She wanted to build a second home in the New World... but she hadn't decided yet whether to build it in Wanguo. She was quite happy that Big Mom had invited her.
"Mihawk, what would happen if our second home was built in Wanguo?"
Hawkeye knew that she must be tempted, and replied calmly: "If you have a conflict with Big Mom, she will tear down your house."
He believed such a conflict would arise quickly. Wendy wasn't the type to settle down in a corner; if she went over, she'd definitely be taking over. However, if Wendy insisted, he wouldn't stop her; he'd just figure out how to respond.
"That won't do." Wendy frowned.
She was still thinking about how to respond when the next front page of the newspaper was about a conflict between the Big Mom Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates.
At that time, the three children were still nearby, reading the newspaper together, and Luffy said seriously, "Shanks will win!"
"You really do believe in Shanks..." Ace was also very impressed by the savior that his brother always mentioned. He turned his head and looked at Hawkeye, "Hey, Mihawk, will he win?"
"He's not so incapable of solving such a problem." Hawkeye replied to Ace, then looked at Wendy, who had a serious expression, and asked, "How are you going to respond to Big Mom?"
"Well... I still think Shanks is more important." Wendy said seriously, "After all, Shanks is my companion, and I already have the map of the world."
So, Wendy replied.
"I'll build a second home in the New World, but it won't be in Wano Country. If you and Shanks fight, I'll side with Shanks. But Lingling, we can still continue our deal. — Wendy Carter"
Big Mom also responded quickly.
[Wendy Carter, are you going to refuse an invitation from one of the Four Emperors? —Big Mom]
This reply already had a subtle threat quality, but Wendy had always been quite insensitive in this regard.
She thought about it, wrote a sentence slowly, and handed it to the news bird that came to deliver newspapers on the spot.
Two days later, Wendy's declaration was published in the newspaper.
[Yeah. Anyway, Shanks will become the new Four Emperors. —Wendy Carter]
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I let you, Red Hair, talk nonsense, and now it is completely unclear [dog head]
By now, you should have figured out that Ace's future trajectory in this book will be completely different. He really just needs love, affirmation, and to be needed.
Today I made an appointment to draw a Chinese Valentine's Day picture for the Mi-Wen couple, and the artist worked hard to finish it that very night. It's amazing!
The painting is very beautiful. I will try my best to hold back and wait until Qixi Festival to show you the beautiful adult Wendy. [Sunglasses]
Or wait until 300,000 nutrient solution is available before putting it in! This is the first time that a single copy has so many nutrient solutions. To thank everyone, I will make an illustration for everyone every 100,000 nutrient solutions [kiss]
