Chapter 75: New World Day 4 It depends on whether they want it or not.
New World Day 4:
Seeing Wendy running away, Shanks was shocked by her smooth operation.
In fact, it wouldn't be difficult for him to stop it if he wanted to...but because this development seemed a bit magical to him, he suddenly wanted to see how it would develop, so he hesitated for a moment.
Wendy then ran over to Hawkeye, placed her hands on his arms, and spoke seriously, "Mihawk, Mihawk, Shanks wants to marry me too. I want to ask if you agree."
Hawkeye: “…”
The people from the Red Hair Pirates were all around: "..."
Hawkeye: "No, he doesn't want to."
Wendy was stunned for a moment: "Huh? But..."
"He won't want to." Hawkeye said this calmly, stood up, pressed Wendy's shoulders and asked her to sit in his seat, then walked over with a sword in hand.
Wendy was still a little confused. She turned around and asked Beckman, whose expression was a little distorted, in confusion, "Beckman, Beckman, why are they fighting again?"
...Don't you know?! Never mind, it's better not to know. Otherwise, I don't know how this will end...
Even though one of the parties involved was his own captain, Beckman couldn't clear his captain's name with a clear conscience. He picked up the whole plate of fruit and shoved it towards Wendy. "It's okay, don't pay attention to them. Just enjoy this for now."
Anyway, it seems that they can’t stop in a short time this time... Fortunately, they have moved their position to the island, otherwise we would be worried about the ship getting into trouble.
At this time, the onlookers finally retracted their jaws, looked at Wendy who was observing the fruit over there, then looked at Hawkeye and Shanks who had started fighting again, and began to whisper.
"This wave is the captain's problem, right?"
"The boss really went too far..."
"They're just planning to get married, right? Boss, there's still a chance..."
"But didn't the captain say he wanted to join?"
"Is this possible?"
"I don't think there's a rule against that... Big Mom has a lot of husbands too..."
"Are you guys too idle? Go have a drink over there!" Beckman shouted to drive the gossipy crew members away because he didn't want them to affect Wendy.
As for Wendy...
"What exactly happened?" Beckman finally lost his composure and asked after the scene was cleared. "Miss Wendy, what did you and the boss talk about?"
Wendy tasted each fruit and then put all the fruits and the plate into her backpack. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and replied, "Shanks asked me why I wanted to marry Mihawk, and then said he wanted to marry me too."
Beckman: "..." What the hell is that red-haired guy doing? !
Beckman took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked, "What do you think, Miss Wendy?"
"Hmm?" Wendy blinked, looking puzzled. "I have no objection, that's why I came to ask Mihawk."
...You don't have any objections?!
Beckman looked at Wendy with a more complicated expression. She seemed to be telling the truth, and it didn't matter if it was true... But was this more Hawkeye-like? After all, she still followed a first-come, first-served principle... Wait!
Beckman suddenly realized he had discovered a blind spot. "If you're like this, wouldn't it mean you'll agree to marry whoever asks you first?"
"No, it's like when Luffy said he wanted to marry me, I refused."
...Because they're just little kids! And they're your relatives! — Beckman was speechless.
"That's not how it works. What if I say I want to..." Beckman was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized what was going on. He understood his captain and felt a cold sweat on his back. Oh no! Something almost happened! So that's how Shanks got tricked?! He understood everything instantly!
When he looked at Wendy again, his eyes were different and his words became very cautious: "I just said if, it doesn't mean I really will... Forget it, leave me alone. If someone else proposed to you, would you agree?"
"Of course not." Wendy frowned, as if his question was nonsense, and retorted, "Of course I want to marry someone I like. Marrying someone I don't like would just be a nuisance!"
She hadn't even found the divorce option in the marriage mod. What if she found out she was a nuisance after marriage, like Dover? Wouldn't that mean she'd wasted a divorce mod later? She didn't even know there was a divorce mod!
Beckman ignored her subsequent words "marry her home" and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first sentence - fortunately, it was still normal.
Then, he felt something was amiss—er... in other words... for Wendy, the Boss and Hawkeye... she actually liked both, so both were acceptable? Thinking about it this way, Wendy had indeed given Shanks a wreath and had already put up that wooden sign that could teleport...
Beckman couldn't help but look at Wendy again, his eyes somewhat complicated.
He wanted to ask if Shanks would agree if he had proposed marriage in Windmill Village... But he felt that asking this question would muddy the waters too much, so he kept his mouth shut.
Noticing his gaze, Wendy looked over: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Beckman: “Nothing.”
Wendy sat there obediently, her elbows resting on her knees, her chin in her hands. After staring at him for a moment, she felt she understood and suddenly said in a serious tone, "If it were you, Beckman, I would also consider it."
"..." Beckman was stunned for a moment before reacting. He stared at her with a somewhat incredible look. After a moment, he commented in a surprised tone, "You little girl, you are quite amazing."
Wendy said proudly: "I am very good."
Beckman laughed. "I don't think you understand... Never mind. You're so powerful precisely because you don't understand."
Wendy: “?”
Seeing the other man's confused expression, Beckman didn't explain and started asking other questions: "Come to think of it, why do you think Hawkeye wouldn't mind the boss joining you?"
After almost figuring out the situation, Beckman was now in the mood to watch the show.
"Because he's not Mihawk's friend? I think Mihawk would be happier." Wendy said seriously, "Although I wouldn't have let him take the friend position if I had known this would happen, but it doesn't matter. After all, there's no limit to the number of marriage partners you can have."
...Not to mention that Hawkeye definitely doesn't look happy at first glance...what you said next is scary!
Beckman looked at Wendy's small frame, wanting to say something but hesitant. In the end, he couldn't hold back his urge to complain: "What do you mean by unlimited quantity? Are you trying to be like Big Mom?!"
"What's wrong with BIG MOM?" Wendy looked over with a naive look on her face.
Beckman sighed and explained, "Do you know Big Mom?"
Wendy nodded. "Mihawk mentioned it to me a little bit, just that she was one of the Four Emperors. And that she might have the mourning honors that I wanted."
I don't know what mourning glory is...but Hawkeye won't say anything else. Could it be because he's afraid Wendy will imitate him? — Beckman secretly speculated, thinking that since everyone knows this information, Wendy will know it sooner or later, so why not tell it now? "Big Mom has dozens of children, most of whom have different husbands. She relies on this method to expand her family and territory. However, this model may seem stable, but it actually has hidden dangers. Miss Wendy, don't try to imitate it."
Wendy, on the other hand, looked puzzled. "Why should I learn? Can't I just pick up discarded children?"
Beckman: "..." I see, you want to follow Whitebeard's path.
Among the four emperors now, two are related to the crew members - one is Big Mom, who is committed to realizing her ideal of a world of nations. She finds men of different races to have children, and then leaves the children behind when the men abandon them, forming her own world of nations; the other is Whitebeard, who takes in homeless children and the crew members call him Dad.
I just don't know where Wendy got the idea of wanting to marry so many people... Anyway, maybe he was bored waiting, or maybe seeing Wendy's ignorant look, he couldn't help but ask her some science, so Beckman told her about the situation in the New World and the overview of the four emperors.
Wendy nodded and listened to Beckman as if he were an NPC providing plot information. She was distracted most of the time and only remembered two things in the end - BIG MOM married many people and had children of her own, and Whitebeard picked up other people's unwanted children just like her.
Therefore, Wendy's focus is completely different from what Beckman thought.
She put on a serious expression and explained to Beckman, "My track is different from both of them. And I'm not sure if married mods can have children themselves. If they can, I can have one with Mihawk first, and then with Shanks. But it depends on whether they want it or not."
After all, the child was not brought by her and it is impossible for her to take care of it, so of course it depends on the man's side.
"..." Beckman couldn't ask, "Do you think this is okay?" He simply tried to maintain his expression. He raised his hand and patted Wendy's shoulder, his tone becoming a little sad. "Don't tell any of them this."
Wendy: “Why?”
Beckman: "See those two guys still fighting over there? I thought it would stop after two days, but I'm worried that if you say that, it'll go on for at least two weeks."
***
As a senior member of the Red Hair Pirates, Beckman knew these two well. Indeed, the situation quieted down within two days.
During this time, Wendy had been bored and had picked up everything that could be picked up on the island. She even took a pickaxe to smash the ore, which made others marvel at her ruthless behavior. Although they didn't understand why she had to pick up rotten things, they were also helping... The most important thing was that if they just stood by and watched, Wendy would confidently call them to help pick up things.
Shanks was still complaining to the other two people who had left the main group on their way back.
"There's no need to be so angry, right?" Shanks walked over and put his hand on Hawkeye's shoulder, patting him. He smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Or do you think I'll be a threat? You're not confident at all, Hawkeye."
"Don't flatter yourself, Redhead." Hawkeye said expressionlessly, "I just don't like you."
"Well, don't say that." Shanks still had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a bit of sharpness. "Come to think of it, is it really okay for you guys to be like this? I don't think Wendy really understands the meaning of marriage."
Hawkeye paused, glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and his tone calm: "I know."
After saying that, he raised his hand and knocked away Shanks' hand on his shoulder, then quickened his pace and walked to the other side.
"Ah, Mihawk, you're back!" Wendy had already loaded a load of things onto her own ship, and now she was setting up a pot on the spot to cook for everyone. The ingredients were collected from the Red Hair Pirates, and everyone was helping to carry the food to her.
When she saw Hawkeye and the others coming, she ran over with her walking stick.
Shanks came over a beat later and sighed at the situation, "Oh—it looks like you've gotten to know everyone pretty well, Wendy."
Beckman looked at the two people who had finally arrived and turned to his captain speechlessly: "Of course, Wendy is much more popular than you, Boss."
Hawkeye, who was about to answer Wendy, couldn't help but glance at Beckman when he heard this - did he suddenly change the way he addressed Wendy?

The author has something to say: When I wrote this chapter, my heart was like: Why do I think Beckmann still has the charm... (X)
Although there are multiple plot lines in this book, they are not well developed. Only the Eagle Eye plot is carried through to the end.
I will leave the rest of my desires to the end.
