Chapter 97: Fourteenth Day After Returning Home Don’t they have their own mother? ...
Fourteenth day after returning home:
In fact, it’s no wonder that the three generals think so.
After all, the genetics in this world are very strange. Sometimes they follow a pattern, and sometimes they have no pattern at all, just like Princess Shirahoshi of Fishman Island has pink hair, but her mother and father don't.
They have so many brothers and sisters, but they all look nothing alike because they have different fathers.
Moreover, it is not uncommon to recognize people by their signature outfits; it is more like a daily routine in this world.
However, the family of five currently does not know what they are thinking.
Wendy came over excitedly to check the hat she had requested and asked, "You guys are here, where's my hat?"
Charlotte Smoothie brought over Big Mom's hat—a pink pirate hat with the Big Mom Pirates logo on it.
Big Mom's pirate hat can be infused with souls and transformed into a sword. However, it's just a regular hat when worn normally, otherwise it would be uncomfortable.
And she had a spare one herself, so it wasn't a big deal to give Wendy the same one. When she was young, she still wore a wide-brimmed sun hat.
Of course, if Wendy changed her mind and asked for the soul-infused hat, her attitude would change immediately, and the three generals would have to rob her to close the deal. But she didn't think that would happen, because the soul-infused hat obeyed her orders and was useless to anyone else.
However, Wendy didn't know all this at the time. She just took the super-large hat that she felt she could fit into and put it into her backpack, then read the hat's attributes.
【BIG MOM Charlotte Lingling's pirate hat】:
Description: This pirate hat, gifted by Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, is a symbol of the Big Mom Pirates. Wearing it increases map exploration by 2, grants 2 Mourning Glory points, and reduces Sanity by 2 per minute.
Note 1: After equipping, it will improve the friendship level of the Big Mom Pirates and increase the hatred value of some factions.
Note 2: Trading items of special characters cannot be repaired with patch kits.
"Great!" Wendy was very happy and immediately took out the backpack from the backpack column and put it on. However, she had already explored Kraikana Island thoroughly, and her exploration field of view could not show the effect of doubling the size.
As for Mourning Glory… I haven’t found the Little Scare yet, and the effect cannot be checked.
However, the bonus of this hat is very much to her liking, and it comes in handy at critical moments. It's just that if we don't become companions, it really can't be repaired...
Wendy put her hat back on and snapped out a set of jello salads from her backpack. "Here are the jello salads I made. Take them. Remember to put them in the refrigerator and eat them while they're fresh. Otherwise, they won't be as good as they used to be. Tell Lingling that if she wants them again next time, she can trade her hat with me! Oh, and her cape would be fine too!"
She stuffed, looked, put on, and put away the hat in a very smooth and fast manner. The three generals were a little slow to react - after all, they watched Wendy's hat disappear with her bare hands, and when she took it out again, the hat quickly shrank again.
And the jelly salad she stuffed in their hands… it looked like only one portion in her hand when she took it out, but when it was stuffed into their hands, it suddenly expanded to 40 portions, and they were all in a hurry to collect it.
While they were stunned, Wendy thought the deal was done and turned away. The three little ones watching immediately surrounded her, chattering.
The boy in the straw hat spoke first: "Wendy, Wendy, what is that? Is it delicious?"
Wendy nodded, "It's a jelly salad made of leafy meat. You can return it to San."
Straw Hat's eyes lit up immediately: "Meat?!"
Wendy: "There are none left now. We have to wait for the next wave of Piranha Plants to mature."
The other two larger ones seemed much more stable.
The black-haired boy has naturally curly hair and freckles on his face. Unlike the straw hat boy with a big smile on his face, he has a stern face and looks more serious. He is dressed casually in short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a T-shirt with the word "bad" written on it.
As for the blond one, he looked more elegantly dressed, somewhat like an aristocrat, with neat and complicated clothes and a top hat.
It went well with Wendy, who was wearing a pink dress and VIP attire today. It also went well with Hawkeye, who was wearing double-breasted ankle boots, black pants, and an open-fronted white shirt.
The two children were also talking around Wendy.
"Wendy, who are those people?"
"It's Lingling's child."
The blond boy asked, "Are they the members of the Big Mom Pirates mentioned in the newspaper?"
The black-haired boy instantly became alert, looking unhappy: "What are they doing here? Don't they have their own mother?"
Three generals: "..."
Putting aside the issue of Wendy, who was clearly younger than them and even smaller, addressing them as if they were the elders next door...what was that black-haired kid saying?! He was actually the opposite of Tian Gang! Who was staring at whose mother?! He was getting mad!
But after all, it is someone else's territory, and it is not good to argue with other people's children... and there is an eagle eye watching nearby.
"The deal has been made, what are you still doing here?" Hawkeye asked with a frown.
...They're guests too, right?! You're not only not entertaining them, but you're also kicking them out too quickly! — The three generals were furious, but they kept quiet.
After all, they also need to take these desserts back quickly.
But from the other side, the voices of those who had not yet gone far were heard.
"Do they want to be Wendy's kids too?"
"They can't. They're over the age limit. Unless Lingling marries me."
"Hey--then why can't you marry Shanks?"
"I already told you, Mihawk doesn't agree."
The three who heard this all looked towards Hawkeye, their gaze meeting his. He looked calm and composed, yet it gave people a startled feeling.
"...Then we'll say goodbye!" The three of them left obediently and didn't want to get involved in this family ethics drama.
As their boat sailed away from the shore, the three men remained silent for a long time, none of them speaking.
Finally, it was Smoothie who spoke first: "Those three...are Wendy Carter's children, right? Who do you think belongs to whom?"
When she said this, the other two people reacted at once.
"The brunette and the blonde are twins, right? They both have the same curly hair as Wendy Carter. They must be Hawkeye's...and the youngest one must be the redhead!"
"There's no doubt about the youngest one, absolutely...it's just the two older ones. Even though they're twins, their styles seem completely different."
"Because they didn't bring them with them, right? You see, the blond one was with Hawkeye at the time, and the other two came a little late. They also said that Wendy Carter was away temporarily, so they might have gone to pick up those two."
"That's right... the blonde one looks more like Wendy Carter, so keep her around longer. Keep the brunette and the youngest somewhere else and bring them back occasionally."
The three of them discussed and reasoned, and felt that their conclusions were logically consistent and perfect, and decided to report the same to BIG MOM after returning.
On the other side, three more children suddenly appeared on the Kraikana Island, and the island suddenly became lively and busy.
The bustle refers to the island, and the busyness refers to Hawkeye.
Because Wendy, the nominal mother, is a hands-off person and does her own thing. She is only responsible for cooking and assigning chores to the children, and then she continues to do her own things. At most, when she is doing something, the three little ones will watch her and serve as a cheering group.
The eagle-eyed onlookers went from merely observing to genuinely worrying about whether Wendy would destroy the common sense of these three people...
Especially when he saw Wendy teaching the three of them how to cook, he couldn't help but stand up, let Wendy take a rest, and taught the children how to cook himself - after all, he felt that Wendy's method of "cutting it into four equal parts and then cooking it together" was not suitable for normal people.
Of course, when the children's learning results came out, looking at Sabo and Ace's decent results, and Luffy's pot of strange things, he felt that Luffy's cooking skills were probably beyond saving, and it had nothing to do with Wendy.
At the same time, in addition to practicing swordsmanship, training baboons, farming, and dealing with Wendy's sudden whims, Hawkeye's daily routine also includes one more thing - cleaning up after the unfortunate children.
For example, he pulled Luffy out of the mouth of the Piranha Plant planted by Wendy who accidentally entered, and rescued the three brothers who provoked and then got beaten and fled with bruises on their faces from the runaway baboons... And when the three brothers made a fuss and trampled on Wendy's planting area, and came to stand in front of him with a guilty conscience, bowed their heads and begged him to help clean up the mess without telling Wendy, he wordlessly pulled the three of them to replant the planting area.
Of course, when the three brothers were caught accidentally breaking his bottle of red wine and were frantically trying to destroy the evidence and put the blame on the baboons, they were made to stand there as punishment, with the baboons and Wendy watching. The only difference was that the baboons were gloating, while Wendy was simply curious.
Hawkeye went from thinking, "Isn't it not good to treat children like this?" to thinking, "Maybe Wendy should give them more work so that they won't have too much energy."
I didn’t notice it at the beginning when there was only Saab, but when these three brothers are combined, it feels like it is not just a simple X3.
Although Hawkeye had interacted with Sabo before, he treated the three brothers equally without any distinction.
Even Luffy would get close to him and open up even if he was wearing a straw hat with red hair, for example, he would directly ask him in person: "Why don't you let Shanks and Wendy get married?"
Hawkeye silently repeated to himself three times, "This is a child who has no idea what marriage is," and three more times, "This is Monkey D. Dragon's son, not Red Hair's," before calmly replying, "Because, just like with One Piece, there's only one position for Wendy's husband."
Luffy, whose goal was to become the Pirate King, suddenly understood, nodded, and was immediately convinced.
Hawkeye: “…” This kid is so easy to fool, he doesn’t look like his father at all… Oh yes, he should look like his grandfather.
Sabo is relatively mature, perhaps because of his experience in the Revolutionary Army, or perhaps because of his own previous experiences.
As for the last one...
"Let me make it clear in advance that if you dare to lie to Wendy, I will never let you go, even if you are the world's number one swordsman or one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea." The black-haired boy said in a serious tone with a stern face, standing in front of him with his arms folded across his chest.
“…” Hawkeye looked at him, closed the newspaper, and sighed—well, although this child is nominally Wendy’s child, it seems that he wants to be Wendy’s father.
