Chapter 70: Companions, Day 15 I’m going to have a baby!
Companion Day 15:
When Long came over, he saw Wendy and Sabo sticking together happily, and they really looked like mother and son.
Although judging by their actions, they seem more like siblings...
"Wendy! I missed you so much!" Sabo finally let go after hugging her long enough, and began to circle around her, imitating her old habit, while excitedly telling her, "I wanted to say goodbye to you with Ace and Luffy, but you weren't home the last time I went, so I had to come back first! I was thinking of looking for you when I'm older!"
"That's because I'm moving." Wendy stroked his spiky buzz cut and said happily, "You can come and play in my new home later. I'll be set up there! You and Ace and Luffy can come over and play together then!"
"Okay! I'll go when I see results from my practice!" Sabo replied expectantly.
Long had waited until this moment to come over, interrupting their tender moment and asking, "Wendy, are you here to see Sabo?"
"Ah." Wendy finally realized what was happening and exclaimed, looking at Long excitedly, "I came here to see you, Long, and to see Sabo!"
Long faced Ivankov's intense gaze from behind him, his face calm, and he nodded, "Okay, let's go to the room and talk."
Because he couldn't reveal Wendy's wooden sign's abilities... He couldn't explain why Wendy had suddenly appeared from his room in the middle of the night. He couldn't even ask Wendy to set up the wooden sign somewhere else—because his room was the safest.
However, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon always remains unmoved, keeping everyone guessing with his expressionless poker face, never revealing his emotions at all.
Wendy rubbed Sabo's head again, then followed Long into the room to talk.
When they were talking privately, Long was the one who asked first.
"Wendy, what's happened to you since we last parted?"
There was nothing that could be done about it… because after the last separation, Wendy had experienced numerous deaths and resurrection on Kraikana Island, had fought against numerous new wooden signs, had died once more in the Sabaody Archipelago and had a major incident… and that wasn't even counting the time when she suddenly starved to death while working on building a house.
From Long's perspective, it was that familiar feeling of losing his sanity that kept coming back, and then he suddenly recovered after thinking it was his own problem...
When he was thinking about whether to ask Wendy, he found that Wendy completely ignored his words about keeping the wooden signs confidential, and the number of wooden signs she played increased exponentially. He could only know from the titles of the wooden signs that Wendy went to the Grand Line, and then went to Water Seven, and seemed to have a connection with Tom's Studio, which built ships for One Piece.
A few days ago, I had that familiar feeling of palpitations again, and it lasted for a short while... When Long was wondering if something happened to Wendy, he felt better again, and then he found that the bounty on Abigail had been withdrawn, and then he saw the news in the newspaper that Donquixote Doflamingo, whom Wendy mentioned, had become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
To be honest, if Long hadn't seen that it was Doflamingo who became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he would have thought that Wendy herself was going to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Fortunately, Wendy came by herself, otherwise Long would have hesitated whether to go and look for her.
"Hmm..." Wendy tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then cut to the chase, "I built a home on Kraikana Island. I was almost beaten to death by baboons and couldn't be revived. Luckily, I met Mihawk later. Mihawk helped me build a home. I initially wanted to marry Mihawk, but later I realized that being his companion was fine. We went to Water Seven together, and I met Uncle Tom. I got a lot of shipbuilding blueprints from him and learned how to build them. Then Uncle Tom became my companion. Later, I wanted to build the Waterwood, so Mihawk took me to the Sabaody Archipelago. I defeated three Celestial Dragons and gained some resources. That's all I did in the past few months."
...That's all? If you were given another year, you could go to Mary Geoise and fight the Celestial Dragons, right? —Even Dragon, who had been mentally prepared, was still shocked by the amount of information contained in this sentence.
He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know where to start. He could only sigh and start to sort out the questions one by one according to their importance.
First... let's figure out what's going on in the Sabaody Archipelago!
Speaking of this, Wendy generously pulled out a Celestial Dragon suit from her backpack and gave it to Long. "I picked this up, so I'm giving it to you. You can use it as a Celestial Dragon disguise. But it seems we'll be facing the navy in the end, which is quite troublesome... I even have Abigail, and I died once but managed to escape. Oh, by the way, Long, do you know where else besides Marijoa there are more Celestial Dragons? I searched the Sabaody Archipelago later, but didn't find a second wave."
Long: "..." Should I praise her for knowing that she couldn't just go straight to Mary Geoise?
Long looked at the gift from Wendy X1 on the ground, paused, and accepted it after thanking her.
Apart from anything else...this is really useful to them.
But... after Wendy's riot in Sabaody Archipelago, the result was that Abigail's bounty was revoked...
Long recalled the Marijoa landmark on the map Wendy had shared with him earlier, and, reflecting on how Wendy had actively avoided Marijoa this time, he came to a conclusion—so… Wendy's true identity is indeed connected to that place, right? And it's likely she left after her sister's death…
Because Wendy did not mention her main quest, Long naturally did not know that she was avoiding Mary Geoise at this time because she wanted to save it for the main quest at the end.
The reason why Wendy didn't mention it was actually very simple - she had asked Long before and knew that the revolutionary army would eventually fight the Celestial Dragons, so in the end they would definitely also fight Mary Geoise. Anyway, the mission was the same, so she didn't need to say it again.
However, although there is a difference in Long's understanding, it does not have much impact - both of them want to defeat Mary Geoise anyway.
The story of Water Seven was told quite quickly. After asking a lot of questions, Long summarized it as follows: Wendy used the power of her magical fruit to trick the people in Tom's studio, and now Tom agreed to become Wendy's companion without knowing why, but in fact he knew almost nothing about Wendy's magic.
However, Tom, as a fishman, was dedicated to building the Sea Train for the benefit of the people of Water Seven. He essentially admired him and felt that he was probably a good person, so there was no need to worry too much...
Next, was the part that had confused him the most...
"I know everything about the Sabaody Archipelago and the Water Seven City... You said Mihawk is Hawkeye from the Shichibukai? How come they're getting married and becoming companions?"
Wendy became a little angry when she talked about this. She put her hands on her hips and said, "This is all your fault, Long! You made me think that if I didn't have a Devil Fruit ability, I couldn't be a partner! Mihawk is not a Devil Fruit user, so I thought that if I married him, we would be together forever!"
"......?" Although he had no idea what this had to do with him, based on his experience, Long decided to make things less complicated and apologized first, "Sorry."
"Forget it, I forgive you." To some extent, Wendy was easy to coax and calmed down immediately. She also said, "Mihawk is a good person. He will accompany me to build a family and farm together. You can't say bad things about him."
Wendy said this after considering her friend's personality - because she felt Hawkeye would care more about these things, and Long was very generous, so she only warned Long.
It is also the player's instinct to balance the progress of the lines in the case of multiple lines.
Of course, Long wasn't angry about this, he was just a little hesitant - so... the world's best swordsman who had always been a lone ranger was now accompanying Wendy to build a family and farm, and he had been with her even after they traveled, and his attitude remained unchanged even after Wendy caused such a disaster in the Sabaody Archipelago...
Uh, this sounds like they're married... Could it be that Wendy is the only partner? Does Hawkeye know they're not married?
Wait, back to the topic... Why did Hawkeye become a Shichibukai? Could it be related to Wendy?
Just like how Garp views him, Long also treats Wendy as a family member, or even a sister. He will definitely not interfere with Wendy's own decisions and friendships... But in this situation, I always feel that I need to worry a little.
This kind of question is not easy to ask a little girl, so Long changed the question to a more tactful way: "Do you know why Hawkeye became a Shichibukai?"
"I don't know. I haven't asked Mihawk yet." Wendy said, raising her head a little proudly. "But Mihawk said that if I don't want him to be his friend, I don't have to be!"
Hawkeye said he would quit when necessary... Wendy automatically translated and understood: I will object when it is necessary.
Long: "..." Will the relationship between companions... go to this extent?
Not to mention him, even Doflamingo, whom Wendy has followed for many years, their relationship is not as delicate as this, right?
If their positions were reversed, Long would definitely tell Wendy earnestly, "You've been deceived." But now it's clear that Wendy was the one who deceived her... and he also knows that Wendy actually doesn't lie...
In the end, Long decided not to dwell on it anymore and just let it go.
Anyway, Wendy knows what’s going on...right?
He is now a little worried about the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting that will be convened by the World Government if necessary in the future... Doflamingo obviously thinks Wendy is dead, and if Wendy suddenly appears... Well, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will probably fight each other as soon as the meeting is convened.
Long thought for a moment, giving Wendy the proper respect. Without further ado, he sighed and asked, "Okay, that's all my questions. Wendy, what do you want to ask me? As for the Celestial Dragons, they won't act collectively outside of their home base of Marijoa. You'll just have to take your chances."
"Sigh..." Wendy looked uninterested, then curiously asked, "Dragon, do you know where there are underground ruins? There are usually signposts!"
"Underground ruins?" Long looked at Wendy, remembering the last time she asked O'Hara. He felt like he understood something, and his expression grew more serious. He said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure about this... But as for the signposts, if you collect all four of them, you can find the location of Raftel, the end of the Grand Line... But that's also where Pirate King Roger buried his treasure."
Wendy saw a new plot prompt appear on the system.
[Direction of Raftel]: You have received news from your companions that the final island, Raftel, can only be discovered by collecting historical texts. The treasure of Pirate King Roger is buried here, and it is the target that everyone is rushing to.
Wendy was stunned by the new plot hint. Huh? Was this little piece of information also a plot point?
She thought about it, then nodded in agreement without saying anything. She then asked, "Long, I still have 11 vacancies for my partners. Who do you think would be a good choice? They should be able to thrive, but also have a good temper."
...Is it because one of her previous companions died, and she defined the other one as having a bad temper, so she broke up with him?
Long usually doesn't interfere with other people's friendships, but he has to take care of Wendy's situation - after all, there is a chance that this friend will come straight to his room in the middle of the night.
After giving Wendy a bunch of instructions, Wendy nodded and ran out to continue playing with Sabo.
Sabo had been hanging around waiting, even taking a leave of absence from special training. When Wendy came out, he went over again and asked, "Wendy! How long will you stay here?"
"I'm just going to pick up some local specialties and leave!" Wendy said generously.
Her parcel box was empty, and she felt uncomfortable leaving without filling it up.
Sabo felt a little disappointed when he heard this, and asked again: "Wendy, will you come to see me again?"
"It depends." Wendy sounded honest. "If you go too far, I won't be able to come over."
A trace of confusion crossed Sabo's face. After a long while, he finally made up his mind and said solemnly, "Well...well, I have now left the Kingdom of Goa and completely separated from my parents. I won't be going back... If you still need me, Wendy, I can be your child."
Wendy was stunned at first, then her eyes widened. She happily went over and hugged Sabo, "Okay, okay! Then I'll come pick you up in three years when I can complete the new mod!"
Sabo was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment when he was held in Wendy's arms. He looked a little embarrassed. After a while, he silently hugged Wendy back.
"Then after I go home, can I still return to the Revolutionary Army?"
"Sure, but you have to finish your housework first."
"OK."
The dragon watching: "..."
I always feel that Saab was also deceived.
***
Because of the unexpected joy of Sabo's initiative to surrender, Wendy struggled for a long time before happily teleporting back.
"Wow! Mihawk, why don't you just appear and stand there all of a sudden!" Wendy was startled when she returned and frowned and accused him.
Hawkeye didn't respond to this, nor did he complain that her sudden appearance was truly frightening. He just looked at her and asked calmly, "Wendy, where did you go just now?"
"I'll tell you about this later. First, I have an important announcement." Wendy's face showed a smug expression, and her tone was a little proud. "Oh Mihawk, I'm going to have a baby!"
"...Hmm?" Hawkeye responded in an ambiguous tone, his sharp eyes fixed on her, his gaze never moving away. "Where did the child come from?"
Wendy's expression became even more proud: "I picked it up because someone else didn't want it anymore!"
Hawkeye: “…”

The author has something to say: The future is the eldest son Sabo [Cai Gou]
Long: Wendy's abilities are so special that she can easily be exploited. I have to be careful that she won't be deceived by men... Wait, why is she always deceiving men?
PS: I think the nutrient solution is almost here. Will there be an update tomorrow? Or will I just see if I reach 120,000 before bedtime? [Kiss]
