Chapter 54: Exploration Day 7 Then I want to marry Wendy too!
Day 7 of exploration:
By the time Wendy teleported back to Windmill Village, Garp and Aokiji had already left.
After all, they had searched the Goa Kingdom and found no trace, so they couldn't afford to waste time here. When the real culprit couldn't be found, the King of Goa wanted to nominate some scapegoats to quickly put an end to the matter... But the White Ghost couldn't be easily disguised.
Therefore, after a week of intensive searching, everyone assumed that the White Ghost had left and reported it as such.
When Admiral Sengoku received this news, he was also full of questions. He frowned and felt that there was something fishy about this matter - firstly, this white ghost suddenly appeared and then disappeared; secondly, the people who were rescued, including the Celestial Dragon, did not seem to be in a good mental state... Could it be an illusion that appeared at the end?
After all, ghost fruits do exist in this world, and there are even zombies, but there has never been an incident where a real ghost appeared and hurt people.
When this conjecture was put forward, Garp and Aokiji, who were standing there listening, said: "..."
Both of them knew who the culprit behind this was, but one chose to cover it up to the end, while the other chose to play blind for a limited time.
Just like that, the matter was temporarily concluded with "the White Ghost could not be caught". As for the pressure exerted by the Celestial Dragons... Zhan Guo increased the bounty by another 50 million as a token of his gratitude, to show that they had tried their best.
Wendy didn't know that Abigail's value had increased again. She strolled around her former home and saw the letter Cap left for her on the table and began to read it.
Karp said that he had received her letter and asked her not to let her sister appear in the public eye recently. By the way, he said that her behavior of leaving the three little ones to the dragon was very good.
This time, Garp didn't invite Wendy to visit the Navy Headquarters again. He was worried that Wendy might get upset and release her sister, and this matter would be hopelessly ruined.
After reading the letter, Wendy nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, she put the letter into her backpack and decided to write a reply to Garp.
In this world, there is a white seagull-like creature called the Newsbird that is responsible for delivering letters and newspapers. She can send letters to Garp.
No matter how slow it is, you will definitely receive the letter in eight months.
After confirming everything here, Wendy went out for a stroll in Windmill Village and also went to the tavern to meet Makino.
Makino was very surprised to see Wendy. She came up to look her over and was secretly relieved to see that she was fine - after all, she had also seen the bounty order and knew where the white ghost on the wanted list came from.
"You're such a jerk! You accidentally did something like this..." Makino complained. However, fighting the Celestial Dragons was a just cause, and she didn't want to blame Wendy for that. She could only advise, "Be more careful next time. You're just one person..."
Wendy blinked at this and happily retorted, "I'm not alone now! I have Mihawk!"
"...Mihawk?" Makino hesitated at the obvious male name. "Who?"
"My future husband," Wendy vowed, adding, "We'll get married in eight months. If there's a wedding, I'll invite Makino to our house."
Makino was stunned at first, but after realizing what was happening, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He took Wendy's hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Wendy. How did you two meet?"
"I was dying at that time, and it was Mihawk who saved me. Later, I asked Mihawk if he wanted to build a family together, and he agreed." Wendy said the truth.
Makino didn't know that this "establishing a family" meant establishing a family in the literal sense, because he heard the news of the marriage first and naturally understood it to have another meaning.
"Is that so...Wendy, you were the one who confessed first..." Makino was a little surprised, but then she felt it was normal. Wendy had always been very direct in her words and expressions of emotion. She began to wonder about something else, "What kind of person is he?"
Wendy thought for a moment and described it: "He would farm with me and train baboons."
Training baboons... a tamer? But being able to farm with Wendy means he must really like her... — Makino pondered, and mentioned another matter: "Then... about Abigail..."
Wendy replied, "Mihawk knows, he doesn't mind."
Makino breathed a sigh of relief, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face - it seemed that Wendy's marriage partner was quite reliable.
Although there was a similar misunderstanding with the villagers of Windmill Village before, but after that, Garp came to clarify and Luffy showed up, the misunderstanding was naturally resolved... Then I heard Garp bragging in the tavern, scolding his son for being immature and scolding his grandson for being led astray by Red Hair, and then he was relieved that Wendy was the only good seedling in the family and he must find the most suitable navy for her...
At that time, Makino felt that given Wendy's casual, spontaneous and eccentric personality, it was not suitable for her to marry a navy man... Now it seems that Wendy has found the right one, and she is very happy for him.
After Wendy finished notifying everyone, she greeted the other villagers in Windmill Village and informed them all. Then she took her walking stick and ran to Mount Korpo to find the three little ones.
But after she got there, she found that there were only two of them - Ace and Luffy.
Wendy strolled around, still looking around: "Where's Sabo?"
"Because of your previous intrusion into Gao Town, the people in Gao Town have concluded that the White Ghost is related to Sabo. That's why it's unsafe for Sabo to return, so he's staying outside." It was Dadan who answered. She didn't look very happy, and even had a slight headache. "So don't be careless!"
No one listened to what she said later.
Ace and Luffy were both very happy to see Wendy. Luffy even ran around her and said, "Wendy, Wendy! You're back!"
Wendy joined the circling group. Luffy went from circling around her to the two of them chasing each other in circles. "Yeah! Luffy, where's Sabo?"
Dadan: "..." So she was completely ignored when she spoke just now?
"Sabo plans to join the Revolutionary Army." Ace walked over and answered.
Luffy nodded and smiled widely: "We can meet each other when we go out to sea later!"
They agreed to go out to sea when they turned seventeen, so they could meet again and keep in touch with each other.
Ace was actually a little disappointed, but Luffy was full of anticipation - although they were facing separation, he saw a reunion in the future.
Wendy was different. She was angry, and her tone was a little bit unbelievable: "Dragon refused to give Luffy to me, and actually took Sabo away?"
"Sabo is not your child." Ace complained from the side.
Wendy frowned and looked at Ace with a thoughtful expression.
Ace was stunned at first, then he shuddered and quickly said, "I'm not your child either!"
Although he recognized Wendy as his elder and liked her very much... he still felt that he couldn't call Wendy "Mom"!
"Really...just wait and see!" Wendy put her hands on her hips angrily.
Wait until she makes a parent-child mod in the next three years! Then they will all become her children!
Dadan was chewing a watermelon speechlessly on the side - this woman really wanted to adopt these unfortunate children... Or only a woman who didn't raise children but only played with them would have such an idea!
"We're not your children, but we can still help you with your work." Ace said, then asked, "Where have you been?"
"I'm going to build a house. You can come to my house and play when you go out to sea."
Luffy was shocked: "Isn't Wendy's home here?!"
Wendy shook her head: "No, that was Luffy's home before."
Luffy was even more shocked: "Don't I have no home?!"
Wendy thought for a moment and changed her words, "That's Uncle Cap's home."
Dadan: “…” How should I put it… This is probably all Garp’s fault, right?
After this strange conversation, the topic finally got on track.
"I'm currently living on Kraikana Island. You can come through my place when you go out to sea." Wendy said this, and then she remembered another purpose of her visit. "I'm getting married in eight months. If there's a wedding, you can come and visit."
"What..." Dadan and Ace were both shocked, while Luffy was frowning and picking his nose: "What is marriage?"
"It means that we bind our accounts together to build a home and play together, and we can share things." Wendy gave her own limited explanation.
Luffy held onto Wendy and refused to let go: "Hey - then I want to marry Wendy too!"
Wendy immediately frowned and refused: "No, I want to find someone who can stay home with me. I don't want to marry you if you want to become the Pirate King."
Ace stood aside with his arms crossed, mocking his brother: "Stupid Luffy, you're still a child. No one would marry a child."
"...Are these the main points?!" Dadan couldn't help but complain. When he looked at Wendy, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is the other party? Is it the navy?"
Apparently, Karp also praised Wendy and expressed his expectations to Dadan.
"His name is Joracle Mihawk, not a navy officer." Wendy took out her usual reserve of meatballs and stuffed a portion between Ace and Luffy, then replied to Dadan, "I'll let you know if there's a confirmed wedding. You can all come over then, and remember to give me a gift. I went to Water Seven City a while ago and learned how to build many types of ships. I'll build a ship for you then!"
Dadan couldn't help but think of Wendy's pancake boat, and sweat broke out. "Uh...it's okay! We can handle the boat and other things ourselves..."
Luffy: "Wendy, you're awesome! Then when I go out to sea, I'll ask you to help me with it, Wendy!"
Ace: "Really? Can you build a boat? Then I'll buy it from you and I'll trade it for other items."
Wendy: "Okay, okay."
Dadan: "..." Are you two so confident?! Don't think sailing is that easy just because you managed to sail successfully last time with that pancake boat!
It was obvious that Dadan had been excluded. The three people over there were completely unaware that there was any problem and were still chattering away.
Luffy finished his meatballs and continued to pick at Wendy and asked, "Wendy, Wendy, where is the Seven Water Capitals?"
"It's where the shipbuilding factories are concentrated. The person who taught me how to build a ship was Tom, the world's number one shipbuilder. He built your father's ship, Ace."
Luffy was quite supportive: "Wendy is amazing!"
Ace's face suddenly turned sour, and he said sullenly, "Then I want a completely different ship!"
Wendy thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I also have other production blueprints."
Anyway, besides what Tom gave her, there were also those from Iceberg and Fram. Now she is the invincible shipbuilding king!
Dadan tutted, looking displeased. Just bragging, just kidding. Seven Water City is so far away, how could Wendy be away for such a short time just to make the round trip and learn shipbuilding?
But her thoughts were her own, and both of them believed in her without a doubt. Luffy was a believer to begin with, and Ace used to be skeptical, but after seeing all of Wendy's magical abilities and the fact that she had never lied to him, he also believed everything she said.
"But if you get married, you will have your own children, right?" Ace asked a question.
Speaking of this, Wendy began to think deeply: "I don't know. It depends on whether Mihawk will give me a child."
She remembered what happened in Star O Valley: same-sex couples would adopt each other, and opposite-sex couples would spend the night together until their affections were high. After the nursery was built, one day her partner would ask her if she wanted a child, and then a child would be born automatically.
Ace was stunned when he heard her say that. "Hey? Did he give you the child? Aren't all the children born by their mothers?"
"That's how it is for you guys, but it's different for me," Wendy answered truthfully. "In my case, Mihawk should bring the child to me."
According to experience, it was most likely a baby from heaven. She wouldn't be surprised if a bird delivered a child here.
Dadan and Ace were shocked when they heard this - so you can make a man have a baby!?
Ace still looked at Luffy with a lingering fear, who was smiling foolishly over there - this stupid brother had no idea what he would face if he married Wendy!
Wendy didn't know how much psychological shock her trip had brought to everyone. After she finished her promotion, she went down the mountain and teleported back home.
After returning to her room, she sat down and wrote a letter to Garp, then ran to find Hawkeye in the living room and asked him, "Mihawk, can the letter be sent directly to the Navy Headquarters?"
"Yes, yes..." Hawkeye looked at the letter in the other person's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Are you going to send a letter to someone at the Navy Headquarters?"
Wendy replied obediently, "Yes, it's a letter to Uncle Cap."
"Garp?" Hawkeye was startled and immediately thought of someone, "Vice Admiral Garp? How did you know him?" "Uncle Garp took me in before." Wendy thought for a moment and then said, "It was also Uncle Garp who said I could build a home here."
Hawkeye understood and thought it made sense - it was very likely that the famous naval hero had taken Wendy in, and later when the war was over, he allowed Wendy to come back and rebuild... But this also explained the contradictions in Wendy's words and deeds, which were sometimes aristocratic and sometimes very approachable.
He nodded and replied, "You can just ask Newsbird to send it... Never mind, I'll send it for you."
After all, there is no way Wendy would give money to Newsbird.
"Okay!" Wendy agreed happily, and after thinking for a moment, she added, "Wait a minute, I'll write another letter to my friend Shanks."
Hawkeye: "...Wait, who are you talking about?"

The author has something to say: Hawkeye Belike: I heard a bad name.jpg
Ace has complicated feelings towards Wendy. On the one hand, Wendy is a rare female elder he can get close to. On the other hand, he feels that Wendy is both reliable and unreliable, and he can't call her "mom" [dog head]
Luffy is much simpler, just an idea: I want to play with Wendy.jpg [Cai Gou]
Sabo is also quite simple: willing to call mom.jpg[Rose]
