Chapter 99: Sixteenth Day Home, Are You All Wendy's Children? ...
Day 16 after returning home:
"Forget it," Hawkeye said, vetoing everyone else. "Because of the World Conference, the Shichibukai Conference may or may not be held this year. I don't intend to go, and you're not suitable to go with me."
These people have their own identities.
Look at it, three children, one is the posthumous son of the Pirate King, one is a member of the Revolutionary Army, and one is the son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army... For a moment, I don't know whether going there is a trap or a commendable act of courage.
As for Wendy...
"And Wendy, the World Conference is being held in Mary Geoise. That's your [main storyline], and it won't be accomplished so quickly, right?" Hawkeye had already mastered a way to communicate with Wendy.
"Oh...it's actually in Marijoa?" Wendy said with regret. "I haven't built Pluto yet, so I can't go directly to Marijoa."
Because Wendy thought Mary Geoise was the main questline area, and entering it would force the main questline to begin, she hadn't gone there yet. Otherwise, she would have gone there to collect the resources long ago.
Hawkeye, who had finally dispelled the group's ideas, breathed a sigh of relief - otherwise, if these four people had caused trouble together, he really wouldn't have been able to handle it all by himself.
Fortunately, Wendy's ideas usually come and go quickly, and she was soon distracted by the matter of raising bees - because she wanted to trade with Big Mom later, so she still had to keep up with the honey reserves.
But she forgot, so Hawkeye still had to remind her.
That night, after the children had gone to bed, Hawkeye gave them some instructions.
"Forget about Luffy and Sabo, but Ace's identity doesn't make him suitable to go to the Marine Headquarters." Hawkeye said, "It would be dangerous for Ace. At least don't do that until you build Pluto."
Hawkeye knew Ace's background, Wendy said.
He was a little surprised that Ace was the son of the Pirate King, but he didn't think Ace was any trouble.
After all, as things stand now, it's hard to say which one is more dangerous, being Roger's son or being Wendy's son.
Think about it, the son of the Pirate King, or the son of the enemy of Celestial Dragon, the Lord of Pluto, the man whose dream is to attack the world throne of Mary Geoise... No matter who looks at it, the latter is more dangerous.
But that would be after Wendy started her own "main storyline." For now, if she took them there, she might arouse suspicion or be discovered... Especially since Aokiji mentioned last time that CP0 would investigate "players," and there was a high probability that the investigation would lead to Wendy. If she took these children there and investigated them along the way, the risk would be too high.
Wendy nodded obediently, but she still didn't give up her plan to hunt the Celestial Dragons. "Besides Marijoa, are there any other places where we can catch Celestial Dragons?"
...I've already used the word "catch" directly. - Hawkeye thought for a moment and replied, "During that time, you can go to the Sabaody Archipelago."
Anyway, when the World Conference is held, the main forces will be stationed there. The Sabaody Archipelago should be relatively peaceful and have abundant resources...there shouldn't be any problems.
"I'll go with you after these kids leave."
"OK!"
However, before they set off, two uninvited guests arrived - Garp... and Sengoku.
Both of them were traveling in casual attire. Zhan Guo had finally found some time, and he'd prepared himself mentally to come over and ask about Rosinante in detail. Although Garp had relayed some of the information, key details were missing, and using Garp as a middleman was a concern.
Garp was accompanying Sengoku. After all, Sengoku was visiting privately; if he just showed up, people's first reaction would be, "Why is the Admiral of the Navy coming to my house?" It would be a bit strange.
But Garp never expected... He would see his three grandsons here! Why are these three brats here?!
The three children were being chased by bees while collecting honey. After running a long way, they finally made the bees' hatred disappear, and then they saw these two people coming.
Sengoku and the others didn't know him, but Garp and the others were familiar with him. Luffy immediately took the lead and shouted, "Grandpa!"
"Luffy, Sabo, Ace..." Garp looked at the three of them, his jaw dropping. "Why are you here?!"
"We came here to play with Wendy." Sabo replied with a smile, looking at Zhan Guo curiously, "Who is that?"
Garp turned his back to Sengoku and tried to wink at the three of them desperately: "That's my boss, Marine Admiral Sengoku."
Ace was stunned, and suddenly looked over and met Zhan Guo's eyes.
However, Zhan Guo just glanced at him and moved away. Zhan Guo was looking at Sabo at this time.
When he came here, he hadn't expected to see three children... Hearing the youngest one calling Garp "Grandpa," and considering they were living at Hawkeye and Wendy's house... they must be their children, right? He hadn't expected them to be this big...
If it weren't for Sabo's age, he would have imagined Sabo as Wendy and Rosinante's child—they both had naturally curly blonde hair. Rosinante and Sabo also had somewhat similar eyes.
"Are you all Wendy's children?" he asked gently.
"Yeah!" Luffy smiled widely.
Garp: "..." What is that? What are you saying? You are not that! Both of them can be your father and they are still alive!
But it was not easy for Garp to object at this time and say that this was his son's child.
Because at the recent World Conference, the biggest topic... was his good son and his organization. His unfortunate son was even labeled one of the biggest threats to the future world government.
As for Sabo, after hearing Sengoku's identity, he stepped forward and stood in front of Ace with a smile on his face: "Are you here to look for your mother? I'll take you there."
"Is the Admiral of the Navy here for something important?" Hawkeye also arrived at this time, standing directly in front of Sabo and looking at Sengoku, "I haven't received any news about the disbanding of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Don't be so hostile, Hawkeye. I'm just here to talk to Miss Wendy about something." He glanced at the two children who half popped their heads out from behind Hawkeye to look at him, "Are these two children yours and Wendy's?"
Hawkeye glanced behind him and met the gaze of Ace, who was looking at him with a dazed expression.
"Yes, it's Wendy and me." Hawkeye retracted his gaze and looked at Zhan Guo. "Wendy is planting flowers and raising bees now. You guys go wait inside the castle."
Sengoku and Garp walked towards the castle. Hawkeye looked at the three little ones and said, "Guests are coming. You should play outside now and go home after they leave. Don't run too far and don't go too close to the beach." Luffy and Sabo nodded.
Ace lowered his head and grabbed Hawkeye's sleeve when he turned and walked towards the castle.
"Hey." Ace called out, pursing his lips tightly, his expression serious, "Will I cause her any trouble?"
His tone was also tense, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of confusion and bewilderment.
Hawkeye looked above his head and understood - he was a sensitive child.
He said calmly, "You can rest assured about this one thing. Compared to her, everything else is not a problem."
"...Will she be in danger?"
At this moment, it really seemed like she was treating him as her mother... Hawkeye looked at him and curled his lips: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

On the other side, the three generals returned to BIG MOM's territory, brought back the desserts, and told them what they saw.
"Mom, Wendy Carter and Hawkeye already have twins, and there's a little son who's three or four years younger than the twins. He wears a straw hat with red hair, so he's probably Hawkeye's son. But he's also being raised by Hawkeye." Charlotte Smoothie explained their reasoning, emphasizing it. "Even if we really do reach an alliance, Wendy Carter won't come to Wan Guo, and any child they have won't be for us to raise. Besides, Hawkeye can only accommodate children, not adults."
—That's the point! If they really get married, it wouldn't be a good thing. It would only give Wendy Carter the upper hand! So, Mom, please give up this idea quickly!
Big Mom didn't think there was anything wrong with Wendy's behavior. After all, she was a veteran in this area.
But it won't work if she doesn't get any benefits.
To this, she simply nodded in agreement and asked the three generals to bring up the jelly salad.
To transport the desserts over long distances, the three of them of course considered preservation technology, and they also specifically explained Wendy's instructions to Big Mom - once the desserts are no longer fresh, they will become ineffective.
Big Mom naturally had no intention of waiting to eat later, as she had always been a glutton. After taking a large amount of jelly salad, the refreshing feeling immediately made her feel different - this dessert really had a soothing effect on the mind!
"Mama~mama~" Big Mom squinted her eyes in satisfaction and gave high praise, "Wendy Carter's desserts are indeed the best..."
After eating her desserts, her bulimia attacks became much less frequent than before.
Seeing her attitude, the people below couldn't help but feel curious - what does that dessert taste like?
Only Katakuri lowered his head, not showing any curiosity - as someone who had been given two toffees, he had tasted them, roughly knew their effects, and understood why his mother was obsessed with them.
"As expected... we still need Wendy Carter—" Big Mom slowly smiled, but her huge body and current posture made her look a little ferocious. "She's not in the New World, but isn't Red Hair here? If you meet Red Hair's standards, you can attract her. And it just so happens that that little Red Hair brat has been making a lot of noise here lately, right?"
"Wait a minute, Mom!" Charlotte Smoothie was a little embarrassed. Mom hadn't given up yet? That dessert was so delicious! And she didn't think they could take the throne by defeating Red Hair! Red Hair was no match for her! What if Hawkeye got angry and they teamed up?! Red Hair would become the new Four Emperors!
Of course, she couldn't completely contradict her mother's order, so she just cautiously suggested, "Wouldn't it be better to ask Wendy Carter?"
Big Mom thought about it and agreed.
So she called over Morgans and took the lead in talking to Wendy from above, because it was faster and also made her attitude clear.
Wendy Carter, come settle down in Wan Guo. You can make your own requests. —Charlotte Lingling

Author's words: I know everyone wants to see Turkey again, but it's not that soon. He hasn't prepared himself mentally, otherwise he could have come to the island to find him (but he would probably be beaten by Hawkeye). But Wendy doesn't really care [dog head]
The time point is now 6 years before Luffy went to sea, Luffy is 11 years old, Ace Sabo is 13 years old, and it is still more than a year away from the parent-child mod (but it is obvious that he has already joined this family)
