Chapter 29: Rebirth Day 6 Can I see your hat? ...
Sixth Day of Rebirth:
When the village chief asked if Wendy was Luffy's mother, Garp immediately broke out in a sweat, thinking about how to explain it. Although he had a misunderstanding like everyone else in the village at the time, he could probably understand why they thought so...
—But this doesn't mean you two can just casually claim kinship! You two are truly outrageous, one daring to call out and the other to answer! How could you have successfully claimed kinship without any regard for others?!
Garp, who was watching the scene unfold in amazement, finally reacted.
After he shouted this, Wendy and Luffy, who were about to act out a loving mother-son scene, turned their heads and looked at him in confusion.
"Luffy! That's not your mother! Wendy! You can't just recognize your son casually!" Garp quickly went over and stepped between the two of them, separating them and interrupting this magical conversation.
"Huh? Can't I?" Wendy opened her eyes wide, looking regretful.
She thought she could adopt a friend's child to help her with work, just like raising a pet...
Little Luffy frowned, with a stubborn determination: "If she is not my mother, then who is my mother?"
"..." Karp couldn't answer, so he punched his grandson in the head, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him away, cursing, "Ask your dad about this! Okay, let's go home!"
Wendy thought about it and followed.
Although she didn't actually need to sleep, she still had to find a place to stay. She was also very familiar with the Garp family, and it was easy for her to go there.
Dragon's son Luffy was also very curious about her. It took Garp many times to teach him that this wasn't his real mother. He then followed Garp and called her "Wendy," though he still occasionally slipped up and called her "Mommy."
Karp thought he should call Wendy Auntie, but when he looked back at Wendy's face, which looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, even though he didn't understand women's hearts very well, he felt that he couldn't call someone old or he would get beaten, so he simply accepted the name... As for calling her Mommy, that was absolutely not allowed!
He still remembered Wendy asking him to introduce her to a reliable navy officer! If it was Wendy's child, it would be fine, but taking someone else's child was outrageous! Although he had helped raise other people's children and considered them his own grandchildren, this situation was completely different!
Wendy had no problem accepting the fact that she had a follower. After all, she had even accepted being a mother, even if the purpose was to have an extra labor force.
Wendy stayed here temporarily to make some progress. When she saw the abandoned fields behind the Cap family's house, she took a gardening hoe and went to open up the wasteland with a nostalgic look.
Luffy is not even seven years old yet, which is the age when he loves to imitate. He follows her in and out, watching curiously from the side, and finds everything very new.
Then he was thrown out by Wendy for destroying the fields.
Wendy gave him a backpack made of new carrot rat skin. Because he discovered the magic of this backpack, Luffy took good care of it and loved playing with it. He put a lot of things in it and took them out again and again.
Wendy would occasionally take people to the forest to chop down trees. She had wasted too much wood before, and since wood was a basic material, she had to start stockpiling new ones. Fortunately, there were many trees in the mountains of the Kingdom of Goa.
At this time, Luffy would help her pick up the scattered wood and put it into his backpack, and then Wendy would touch his head, praise him, and feed him meatballs.
Luffy was very happy to eat the super delicious and filling meatballs - oh yeah, they were meatballs made by Wendy!
Wendy was very satisfied looking at the 99 extra pieces of wood in her backpack - great, she doesn't have to pick them up mechanically!
It seems that the children in this world are quite useful... It's just that Garp doesn't allow her to recognize the child... Oh, let's see if there is a similar function in the new mod.
The mod pages last time had too much content, so of course she didn't read them all, she just searched based on function and popularity to find a few and decided on them. She could look at more next time.
"Wendy Wendy, why are we picking up so many pieces of wood?" Luffy also didn't like doing mechanical work. He soon got bored and asked while picking his nose.
"Don't pick your nose, it's dirty." Wendy scolded, then counted her wood, took out her walking stick, straightened her clothes, and said, "I want to make a boat and go out to sea."
She didn't return to Windmill Village to stay here forever. After she set up a teleportation target marker at the Garp family's house, the Monkey family, she planned to continue sailing.
Her current goal is to visit more islands, build teleportation signs on each island, and then choose the most suitable island to build a home. After building a home, she can recruit the most suitable friends!
"Go out to sea?" Luffy was stunned for a moment, then immediately threw away the wood in his hand and hugged Wendy's legs, excitedly saying, "Wendy! Take me out to sea!"
He has always had a dream of becoming a pirate, but before everyone treated him like a child and refused to take him out to sea. Now that he sees an opportunity to go out to sea, of course he will grab it!
"Hmm? Do you want to go out to sea with me?" Wendy was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought about it, then happily agreed.
Then, having just finished visiting his other grandson, Cap rushed to the beach and saw Wendy and his own grandson floating back on her round raft, which looked like it could drown someone. There was even a hole in the raft, and water was bubbling up like a small fountain.
Wendy also took out a piece of wood and somehow managed to install it directly, thus plugging the hole. She wiped her sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to Luffy beside her seriously: "When the ship is damaged, all you need to do is put on the ship patch!"
"I see!" Luffy nodded seriously, as if he was seriously learning something.
Garp: "...No! That's totally wrong! All of you get off that broken plank!"
Garp decided that this couldn't go on. If he continued like this, his grandson would be completely led astray by Wendy. What if Luffy went out to sea and just bravely went forward with a broken plank?
But we can't blame Wendy for this problem... After all, Wendy means well... It seems that she and Luffy get along quite well, but this compatibility is a headache for him.
"Wendy, are you going out to sea?" Knowing that he couldn't change Wendy's way of going out to sea on the raft, Cap couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do this time?"
He was still picking and choosing to see which young men of the right age would be a good match for Wendy... It was his first time as a matchmaker and he had no experience, but he had long regarded Wendy as his own child, so naturally he wanted to pick the best one for her.
"Let's go find the dragon. This time I'm going to put up a wooden sign as a mark, so it will be much easier to find the dragon next time." Wendy said the truth with her eyes wide open.
Garp: “…”
If Dragon hadn't emphasized it repeatedly, and if Wendy hadn't seemed to mean that, he would really have thought Luffy was Wendy's child.
Garp sighed and asked again, "Why are you going to find the dragon this time?"
Wendy was still willing to talk more about Garp and wouldn't lie: "I'm going to ask Long for his cloak."
Garp: "...cloak?"
"Yeah!" Wendy nodded. "I got the admiral's cloak from Kuzan. Dragon is now the leader of the Revolutionary Army, so I want to ask for Dragon's cloak...ah, does any of the Four Emperors have a cloak? If not, a hat will do."
The equipment slots for Don't Starve consist of two slots, one on the body and one on the head. The body can be used to wear items like capes and vests, while the head can be used to wear various hats. If there are any special items, these two slots are most likely to be used.
Garp: “…”
What kind of weird collecting hobby do you have?! How did Kuzan's cape end up in your hands? What did that guy want to do?! And your plan is too grand, isn't it?! Are you planning to take everything from the top brass of every faction?!
Wait, there seems to be one more thing before this...
"What?! Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army?!" Garp was shocked.
Wendy: “……?”
The parent-child relationship in this world seems unhealthy. — Wendy thought.
Look, Garp doesn’t know what Dragon is doing, and Luffy doesn’t know who his biological father is.
Garp was very anxious because of the information that Wendy accidentally revealed. He hurried back to the Marine Headquarters and told Wendy not to run around.
Wendy felt that it would be a bit boring to stay in Windmill Village for a long time without her friends to develop new ways to play, but Garp said it seriously, so she thought that some new plot might be starting, so she agreed.
During this time, Luffy still followed her. However, Wendy, who was forbidden to go out to sea, could only lead people to the mountains to chop trees, pull weeds, fight monsters, and catch bees.
Because it involved a battle, Wendy also released Abigail, much to Luffy's surprise.
"Do all people become ghosts after they die?" Luffy asked as he circled around Abigail. "What about other ghosts? Can I catch a ghost too?"
"Yes, but only my sister Abigail will accompany me. I will find a way to revive her." Wendy was picking up fallen monster meat with a spear in her hand. "Luffy, go pick up some more mushrooms and carrots, otherwise we won't have enough vegetables to make meatballs."
When Luffy heard about meat, his eyes lit up immediately and he obediently went to pick up vegetables.
Of course, when he retrieved it, it was covered in mushrooms, which was another story.
Wendy was horrified when she saw this, and then... she began to diligently pull the mushrooms off Luffy's body, and soon reached a mushroom storage of 99+.
Miss Makino from the tavern, who had come to look for Luffy out of worry when she found out that the two had not come down the mountain yet, was also horrified when she saw this. She quickly took Luffy down the mountain for treatment and scolded Wendy.
"How can you, as an elder, do this? Seriously, you haven't changed at all since you were little!" Makino folded her arms across her chest and scolded sternly, "Next time, you are not allowed to take Luffy up the mountain again!"
Wendy obediently lowered her head and was scolded, but she didn't say anything back.
She met Makino not long after she arrived at the birthplace, and she was one of the first three NPCs she talked to. She still valued her very much and was willing to go through this part of the plot interaction.
And she had already picked enough mushrooms, unlike last time when she was stopped by a dragon.
"Hahaha! Did you eat poisonous mushrooms? It's okay, you'll be fine after treatment." A stranger came to the tavern today. It seemed that he should know Luffy. He was watching others treating Luffy and laughing.
After Luffy was treated, the mushrooms were finally gone from his body. However, since he was a person who only cared about eating and not being beaten, he didn't think anything of it. After recovering, he jumped up lively and shouted, "Shanks! You're here!"
After he finished shouting, he ran to find Wendy and pulled her hand over: "Wendy Wendy! This is Shanks! Shanks is a very powerful pirate! Shanks, this is Wendy! Wendy's meatballs are super delicious!"
...A very powerful pirate?
Wendy heard this and looked at the other party.
He was a red-haired young man who looked to be in his twenties. He had a sweet smile and seemed easy to get along with. However, the three scars on his left eye cast a doubt on his approachability.
"Oh? So that's it..." The red-haired young man called Shanks laughed twice, holding his chin with one hand, looking at her with curiosity in his eyes, "Are you Luffy's elder?"
"Yes, Luffy's father and I are good friends." Wendy nodded, looking up and down at the "very powerful pirate" in front of her, whom Luffy had designated as a "very powerful pirate." Finally, she stared at the straw hat on his head and asked, "Can I see your hat?"
If it's a special item, then it's mine once I get it! — Wendy thought.
