Chapter 83: New World, Day 12 In your opinion, marriage is...
New World Day 12:
This time, Hawkeye and Shanks didn't fight, because as soon as they started to fight, Wendy pulled them back with an unhappy look on her face: "You fight every time you meet. I feel like you don't care about me!"
This accusation was quite serious. Not to mention Hawkeye, even Shanks stopped and restrained himself, and even apologized to Wendy.
Beckman was stunned watching from the side. After careful observation, he found that Wendy really meant what she said literally and that she really meant it. He couldn't help but admire Wendy - this little girl is really amazing!
But from this, he felt that he could understand Hawkeye a little better: "You have to keep a good eye on your little fiancée."
"No need to be reminded of this."
Hawkeye was often left speechless by Wendy's surprising actions and words, and although he disliked socializing and wasn't a talkative person, he wasn't a silent person. On the contrary, he was quite adept at confronting people. At this moment, he looked at Beckman with a hint of scrutiny, "What position do you hold to when you say such things?"
"That's a bit too sensitive." Beckman, a playboy himself and therefore well-versed in this area, immediately understood the underlying meaning and chuckled, "Are you that unsure of yourself?"
Hawkeye replied calmly, "No, I just had too much confidence in Wendy."
Beckman: "..." What should I do? Thinking of Wendy's statement about "one person giving birth to one child", he couldn't refute it...
Meanwhile, Shanks, also aware of Wendy's new partner, was surprised. "Are you saying that Big Mom's daughter, who ran away from her marriage, is your friend?"
"Yes, she's Lola," Wendy said gravely. "She didn't like the man she was marrying. After hearing the story of Mihawk and me, she decided to bravely pursue love, so she ran away from home."
"...What's the story?" Beckman asked Hawkeye in a low voice after hearing the conversation.
"I don't know her version either." Hawkeye replied expressionlessly.
Compared to the two whispering people, Shanks seemed much more generous and asked directly, "What's the story?"
Wendy was a little confused by the question: "Didn't I say that?"
She always felt like she had said it several times...
"I haven't heard the details, so Wendy, please tell me in detail." Shanks urged with a smile, "I really want to know how Hawkeye joined the Shichibukai for love!"
"..." Hawkeye glared at him, but his funny friend ignored him.
"Huh? So Mihawk really joined the Shichibukai for me? But then he's leaving for me... Huh? Why?" Wendy was confused for a moment, but since she felt the answer didn't matter, she quickly put it aside and began to tell her version of the story.
"I met Mihawk when I was building my family. He saved me, and then he offered to be with me. I proposed to him and get married after eight months. But then he didn't want to marry me and just wanted to be my companion. I thought that was fine, so I agreed, but Mihawk changed his mind. But by then, I had already planned to return to the Fresh Freezer and adopt Sabo, so I could only marry Mihawk in six years..." Wendy said, checking the time, and corrected herself, "Ah, five and a half years."
Beckman and Shanks couldn't help but look at Hawkeye in surprise - is it really you who goes back on your word?
Hawkeye: "..." So this is the complete version. This is the first time he heard of it.
Hawkeye found this difficult to explain, but fortunately Beckman and Shanks were both smart people. Just from the depressed aura emanating from Hawkeye at this moment, they knew that there must be a lot of misunderstandings here.
But it doesn't stop them from laughing at the joke.
In the end, Wendy successfully got Shanks' map.
As for the purpose of this map, Shanks did not ask - after he agreed to become Wendy's companion, he was destined not to care about this point anymore.
He even had a vague expectation, wanting to see what Wendy would do.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he also said another piece of information: "If you want Raftel's map, you can also find Captain Roger's other companions. One of them is living in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago."
The other one felt that there might be some danger over there, so he didn't say anything.
Wendy wasn't interested in this: "Besides... I actually think having you, Shanks, is enough."
Anyway, most of Roger's crew members' maps overlap, with only Raftel being missing.
"Hey - that's really flattering." Shanks laughed and asked curiously, "Are you not interested in Raftel now?"
"If it's not Grandma's Island, there's no need to rush." Wendy looked up, her tone matter-of-fact. "Besides, Luffy said he wants to become the Pirate King. If the Pirate King has to go there, I can just ask him for the map after he becomes the Pirate King!"
When the parent-child mod is loaded, she will see if she can secretly let Luffy join. If Long doesn't agree, she can just not tell him. Now that Long can't use the mod, he has no way to find Luffy to ask.
Shanks looked at her in surprise: "It seems you trust Luffy a lot!"
Wendy asked back: "Of course, don't you trust Luffy?"
"I believe it too, that's why I gave him the captain's straw hat."
Speaking of the straw hat, Wendy let out a cry, as if remembering something, and asked, "Luffy said you lent it to him and need to return it. So, can you give me the straw hat when he returns it to you?"
It seems that it wasn't an illusion that she was trying to steal the straw hat...
Shanks suddenly realized something and smiled: "Well...we'll talk about this later!"
Wendy's smile instantly disappeared and she called out, "Shanks."
Shanks: "Hmm?"
Wendy frowned and commented seriously, "You're also a stingy person."
"Hahaha! I'm so sorry, because it's hard to say!" Shanks laughed, and seeing the unhappy look on the man's face, he tried to coax him, "Don't be angry, come on and smile, don't be like Hawkeye who has a stern face all day long."
"Mihawk doesn't have a stern face all day."
"Oh~ Still very protective~"
Beckman watched the whole thing, stunned. He couldn't help but pat Hawkeye's shoulder and said with a heavy face, "I suddenly understand how you feel."
Look, even their difficult captain was coaxed into doing so. He didn't even know if it was intentional or not, but he also coaxed people! The scariest thing was that she didn't do it on purpose!
Hawkeye slapped his hand away expressionlessly and glanced at him: "There's no need for such understanding."
To some extent, Wendy is difficult to coax because she basically doesn't listen to people, but at the same time she is also easy to coax - Shanks said that the straw hat is no longer suitable, but he can give her his cloak, and she was coaxed.
Of course, this also has a prerequisite, that is, after Shanks becomes one of the Four Emperors.
This was suggested by Wendit because she thought Shanks didn't have a title now and the cloak didn't provide any bonus, so she would be at a loss if she took it now.
Regarding this point, Wendy believed that Shanks could become the Four Emperors just as she believed that Luffy could become the Pirate King. She had no doubt at all, which made Beckman think deeply about it.
Forget about him, after all, Shanks is his captain and he only came aboard because he trusted him... But Wendy didn't actually spend much time with Shanks. When Shanks and Hawkeye were fighting, she was picking up rocks and didn't even bother to look at them. It seems that she neither understands Shanks nor cares about his strength... How can she have such confidence in Shanks? Speaking of which, she also has confidence in Luffy...
Beckman couldn't help but ask, "Wendy, do you really believe our leader can become one of the Four Emperors?"
Wendy nodded: "Yes."
Her tone was firm and natural, without a trace of hesitation, and she didn't even say any extra words of explanation.
Beckman felt it was inappropriate to ask any more questions, as if asking one more question would mean that he did not trust Shanks.
If Beckman asked, Wendy would answer him—because Shanks appeared in the main storyline recorded by the system, he must have a significant role. Just like she believed Luffy would definitely become the Pirate King.
After saying goodbye to Shanks and the others, Wendy started her journey home.
She also remembered something else: "Can we go directly to Beihai from here? I want to look for Luo."
"That requires crossing the doldrums, which our current ships can't do." Hawkeye thought for a moment before offering a solution. "Navy warships could certainly make the crossing... You could ask Garp, or even Tom, if they can build a similar ship."
"Then let's ask them when we go back!" Wendy made a decision immediately - to see if she can find Luo and make him her companion!
Luo is 15 now... The parent-child mod requires that the adopted child be underage. I wonder if Luo can join before the expiration date? After all, the functions that come with the parent-child mod are much more useful.
Although Wendy could have teleported back one stop at a time because she had to play teleport signs all the way back, but since Hawkeye couldn't teleport, Wendy still went with him. She felt it would be boring to go back and farm alone, and she wanted Hawkeye to accompany her.
The return trip would definitely not be the same route, and she was still planning to play the teleportation sign again there.
Of course, the return journey also takes time. Wendy is still calculating what season it will be when she returns home and what to plant.
"We have plenty of dragon fruit and tomatoes now, so let's plant something else... We've been out for so long, the fields must be full of forget-me-nots. But forget-me-nots can be used to grow soothing tea, so we can leave a small patch and remove the others... Ah, plant more garlic and onions, especially onions, as I've found many recipes that require them. Also, let's try to grow some new varieties this time. Pomegranates are quite fruity and can be used to make fruit sundaes."
Wendy was chattering about her plans for after returning home.
Hawkeye thought for a moment and replied, "In that case, start by clearing a new plot of land. You can swap the thatch and branches and plant new crops on the original land. This will make it easier to harvest the crops later."
Wendy thought about it and agreed: "That's fine. After all, there's not so much shortage of thatch and branches now. We can plant less after we move to a new place."
Hawkeye had no objection to farming. After all, his hobbies besides sword practice were farming and drinking.
But now, compared to the farming plan that would take at least two months to return home, he had something more important to do...
"You said before that I said I wanted to be with you?" Hawkeye thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.
Wendy nodded over there: "Yeah, you said you wanted to build a family with me."
...At that time, it was said that the island would be divided equally...Is that how Wendy understood it?
Hawkeye thought for a moment and then asked, "What basis do you have for judging that I only want to be your companion?"
Wendy's tone became more matter-of-fact: "Because you accepted my heart."
...Because you suddenly stuffed it in my mouth!
Hawkeye felt that he was really wronged on this point, and silently complained - if I really don't accept it, you will be unhappy again...
But now he could understand Wendy's perspective... Then there was only one last question left.
"Wendy."
"Huh?" Wendy, who was checking how much of her technology was still unactivated, looked up when she heard this.
Hawkeye looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ask: "In your concept, what is the difference between a marriage partner and a companion?"
Wendy was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "Mihawk, don't you know?!"
...This has gone beyond the level of shifting the blame.
Now that he had spoken, Hawkeye didn't intend to play it off and said directly, "Of course I know. I just wanted to confirm whether you knew it or not."
The shock on Wendy's face disappeared, but her expression became a little confused, and she looked very innocent.
"...Forget it." Hawkeye only persisted for two seconds before retracting his previous thoughts and sighing, "Let's deal with this later..."
He didn't finish his words.
Because Wendy had already trotted over and put her hands on his arms as usual.
Hawkeye, like before, turned his head to look at her, waiting for her to speak, ready to listen to her outspoken remarks.
But this time, she didn't say anything. Instead, she leaned her head over, got close to him, and kissed the corner of his mouth.
After doing all this, she didn't retreat, maintaining the same posture as before, looking at him closely with a smile on her face, and said in a tone of "I really can't do anything about you": "We can only do things after the wedding mod, but kissing is still possible."
