Chapter 147: The first day of the Knight of God meeting the little princess.
Knight of God Day 1:
Crocodile has not yet figured out whether Wendy is good at coaxing men. After all, he has never been coaxed, but has been angered to death again and again.
However, some people have been coaxed into saying anything, and Crocodile has already noticed this.
Trafalgar Law did not hide anything and even revealed his plan - he had intended to pretend to surrender to the World Government, go in as an undercover agent and obtain intelligence.
Because the prerequisite for bringing Doflamingo down is to sever his ties with the World Government. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him, a mere pirate, to shake the Seven Warlords of the Sea who are also the King and have the World Government's support, which would trigger the Navy to dispatch. He had to find a way to get something on Doflamingo and force him to withdraw from the Seven Warlords of the Sea first.
He even thought of the possibility that the World Government would protect its own people, and wanted to find a handle to make Doflamingo withdraw from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and then duel with him.
Crocodile, who was listening in on the side, nodded secretly. This junior of Wendy Carter's was a rare brain. If he came and joined her, it would really balance out her team... No! Why was he worrying about this brainless person again?
Crocodile's face turned very sour, and he decided not to listen here any longer and left immediately.
As a result, he missed the big news that broke later.
"Hey? Are you going to beat Dover like this?" Wendy scratched her head, looking a little confused. She looked at Hawkeye, "Mihawk, Mihawk, do you think Law's plan will succeed?"
Hawkeye had originally intended to just serve as a companion, but when Wendy looked over and asked him, he paused for a moment before replying, "It's hard to say. Doflamingo was once a Celestial Dragon, so this identity might give him an extra layer of protection."
[What?! Doflamingo was a Celestial Dragon before?!]
Hawkeye: "..." It turns out he didn't know... He thought that Wendy, with her ladle-like personality, must have known everything she should know.
Wendy nodded and began to act as a colander. "Yeah, that's right. Rosinante too."
[Of course they are brothers...but...Miss Wendy, have you always known this?!]
"Well, Rosinante told me before." Wendy answered from the other side.
Trafalgar Law: [……]
Well... it's not surprising that Mr. Corazon told Miss Wendy... it's just that he just found out about it now, and all the plans he had made before have to be overturned.
For a moment, Luo Du felt a little depressed.
Fortunately, he finally cheered up - because Wendy said that she would find him when he arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and take him to pay homage to Rocinante first.
Wild ghosts have appeared in Don't Starve before, but I've never seen any here, and there haven't been any small scares. I wonder if I'll encounter any new scares this time with Luo... Although I can gain Mourning Glory from Lingling, it's not an orthodox method, and I always feel that this gameplay method is lacking. - Wendy thought seriously.
Taking me to see Mr. Corazon, this should be Miss Wendy's wish... In that case, although I originally felt that I was not qualified yet, if it is to accompany Miss Wendy... then I will agree to it. - Trafalgar Law also thought seriously.
After communicating with Law, Wendy hung up the phone, fed a grain to the Den Den Mushi, then looked at Hawkeye beside her and asked, "Mihawk, I want to go to Shampoo Land to see Law."
Hawkeye knew that she had wanted to find Luo before, after all, he had specially accompanied her to the North Sea.
but……
"I understand. I'll help you keep an eye on this place first." Hawkeye agreed, paused, and then asked, "That Rosinante..."
Of course he knew Rosinante. Not to mention that Wendy's answers to every question allowed him to clearly understand everything that happened at that time, he was also the one who accompanied Wendy to see Rosinante's tombstone.
That's why he was actually a little unsure - if Donquixote Rosinante was important to Wendy, Wendy actually didn't show any special behavior when he was alive, and it could even be said that she seemed closer to Doflamingo; but if he was not important... In fact, Wendy herself had no concept of good and evil at the beginning, and Rosinante could be said to have influenced her.
Could it be that because Don Quixote Rosinante took the bullet for her, she felt different afterwards? — Hawkeye guessed, wanting to ask, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed it back.
"...Forget it." Hawkeye replied, giving up the idea.
After all, the other person is already dead, and it would be frustrating to come to a conclusion that you don't want to hear.
"Rosinante treats me the same way as he treats Luo." Wendy said seriously over there.
Unlike those who have distorted thinking or have their own filters, Wendy knew very well that Rossinanti had the intention to save people at that time.
She thought for a moment, then nodded and added, "But because I wasn't an adult mod at the time, Rossinandi treated me like a child, right?"
"Adult mod?" This word appeared for the second time today, so Hawkeye naturally paid attention to it.
He knew the "mods" he was talking about were some magical effects...but for a species like Wendy, adulthood was also a stage? Was that why there were restrictions on marriage mods?
While Hawkeye was wondering, Wendy had already gone over excitedly and performed one for him on the spot - after all, if he removed the adult mod, it would return to its previous state!
"How about it? Wasn't I cute the way I was before?" Wendy, who looked younger and only about 14 years old, asked happily.
"Yeah, very cute." Hawkeye praised and said seriously, "Change back."
He believed that Don Quixote Rosinante's attitude towards the Death Surgeon and Wendy should be the same, but he began to feel that there was something seriously wrong with Don Quixote Doflamingo.
as well as……
"Also, don't shrink unless it's necessary." Hawkeye warned.
Otherwise, either he would be considered a pervert, or Wendy would be considered their daughter...
***
The matter of the adult mod was lightly revealed, and when Law led his Heart Pirates to the Sabaody Archipelago, Robin and Ace, who had gone to the Punk Restricted Area, also came back - and brought back the artificial devil fruit that, according to Vegapunk, was a "failure."
The fruit was pink and resembled dragon scales. Seeing the fruit, Vegapunk sighed, a bit puzzled: "Why is it pink..."
Robin looked at the fruit: "The pink one is cute too."
Crocodile was also speechless: "Apart from the color, there is no other problem, right?"
"But this is an imitation of Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit's mythical beast species, the Azure Dragon form... This is not the Azure Dragon, so it's not a successful replica, it's a failure." Vegapunk demonstrated his rigor at this time.
Others: “…” It’s hard to explain it to this person.
Wendy was holding the pink devil fruit and exclaiming, "Wow—but it looks so cute! I'll give it to Sabo!"
After all, among her three older sons, Sabo is the only one who does not have a devil fruit - Luffy's rubber fruit was given by Shanks, Ace's flame-flame fruit was given by her, and Sabo is still missing.
"Want to give it to Sabo?" Ace came over, "Then I'll give it to him!"
"Okay." Wendy handed him the fruit and after a moment's thought, she instructed, "Then please ask Long about the whereabouts of the ancient ruins and historical texts."
She was looking for ancient relics, and both Robin and Vegapunk needed historical texts. Lately, they had been trying to decipher what happened during the "blank hundred years" in history.
Although there is a Den Den Mushi to call, due to the communication problems in this world, the calls are not always connected.
"If you know the whereabouts of the original historical text, you can just take a photo and save it and bring it back. I just need to decipher the text." Robin said as he handed a Den Den Mushi to Ace. "This is a Den Den Mushi that Old Bay modified for photography. The picture will be clearer."
Wendy nodded frantically, "Old Bei is so useful!"
"Ancient ruins?" Crocodile was stunned by the word and added, "I know there should be an ancient ruin in Alabasta... It's said to record the whereabouts of Pluto. If you hadn't built the Abigail, I would be searching for it in Alabasta right now. But right now, my subordinates are still active there, on standby."
Of course, he couldn't call his subordinates to help Wendy with the work, and he actually made two preparations. In case Wendy's side failed, he could still continue with his original plan in Alabasta.
Wendy looked over and saw a hint of ambition in Crocodile's eyes: "Wendy Carter...If I find the ancient ruins you want, you must lend them to me immediately."
Wendy nodded: "Sure."
Although Wendy's weird words and deeds often made him angry, Crocodile also knew that Wendy did not lie, and he was satisfied after getting her promise - he had wanted to go back and take a look for a long time!
In this way, everyone on the Abigail performed their duties - Ace went to the Revolutionary Army to deliver the devil fruit to Sabo and keep in touch; Crocodile temporarily returned to Alabasta to check on the situation; Robin and Vegapunk continued to do scientific research, Tom was responsible for maintaining the Abigail and assisting Vegapunk in researching the power fire, and Kizaru was responsible for protecting them; members of Ace's Spade Pirates helped with daily chores; Hawkeye was responsible for guarding and making decisions in emergencies.
Wendy... Wendy is usually responsible for wandering around as she pleases, fishing, going to other islands to collect materials, watching everyone working, and when she is in a good mood, she will cook and develop some other dishes.
After receiving the call from Luo, Wendy also set off - she had a wooden sign at the Navy Headquarters.
The wooden sign in Garp's office says "Temporary," but it's actually the most stable one.
She brought food and basic supplies, thought about weapons and picked up a ham stick, changed into her Victorian suit, teleported over, and made a stunning appearance.
When she got there, Garp wasn't there—not surprising, as Vice Admiral wasn't an office-based position.
And right next to her wooden sign, something like a pentagram magic circle appeared, and this magic circle was activated, and accompanied by black lightning, a person appeared in the circle.
This scene, which was very similar to when she used the teleportation wand, made Wendy stunned and she looked over subconsciously.
Although the newcomer wore a black cloak with a hood obscuring his face, it was clear that beneath the cloak he was wearing a gorgeous aristocratic outfit, complete with buttons, boots, and a formal scarf. He wore dark metal boots, and was fully dressed. He wore gloves, and his left hand rested on the hilt of a rapier strapped to his waist.
"It's really hard to wait until you're alone... Wendy Carter."
Facing Wendy's puzzled gaze, he raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing his face - a face that Wendy was very familiar with.
He has red hair, short stubble, and a face exactly like Shanks, the only difference being that he doesn't have the three scars on his face, and he has long hair tied in braids on both sides.
"I am the leader of the Knights of God, Figalando Shamrock," he said, bowing ceremoniously. "Nice to meet you, little princess."
