Chapter 101: Eighteenth Day After Returning Home, There's No Way, Then I'll Help When I Grow Up...
Eighteenth day after returning home:
As Wendy's declaration spread, everyone was shocked.
Although the Red Hair Pirates are currently in the limelight in the New World... it is rare to be able to make such a direct conclusion.
"She's so bold... Isn't this going to directly make enemies with Big Mom?"
"They would have been enemies anyway, right? After all, Big Mom's statement was meant to recruit her, so it's only natural that she would want to refuse."
"But if I just refuse, Big Mom won't be affected, right? After all, she has connections with the Navy, and she's not in the New World..."
"Look, didn't she say she wanted to come to the New World?"
"So we're going to Red Hair's place, right? After all, it's our second home... Wait, would Hawkeye agree to that?"
"You definitely won't agree, right? That's why it's a second home, otherwise it would be the same home!"
"So are the children and weddings they talked about before real?!"
Everyone was discussing in whispers, and the serious topic at the beginning couldn't help but turn to gossip.
Even the Navy's Zhan Guo, who was searching for undercover agents, couldn't help but ask Garp, "Did Wendy and Red Hair really have a relationship?"
He would believe it because he knew that Red Hair had stayed in the East China Sea for a period of time, and Garp's hometown was there.
Garp clutched the newspaper and roared, "No! That damn red-haired guy only kidnapped my child! He's corrupted him!"
Zhan Guo: "..." Isn't this contradictory? It sounds like this really happened, right?
Zhan Guo frowned, and suddenly felt a sense of resonance with Garp - that's not as good as Hawkeye... I hope Hawkeye can protect his home.
After all, Red Hair was visibly more troublesome. Wendy's claim that he would become the New Four Emperors wasn't entirely without purpose. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so shocked by her public statement, but instead would be laughing at her.
that is……
"Wendy... even if she really thinks that, she doesn't need to say it." Zhan Guo sighed. "It's easy to offend Big Mom this way..."
***
On the other side, BIG MOM saw this.
Big Mom was understandably furious: "Red Hair—!"
The children below: "..." What? Only targeting red-haired girls? What about Wendy Carter?
The three dessert generals, on the other hand, were calm and unsurprised. They had known for a long time that the other party and Red Hair were having an affair! After all, they had a child together! They were just siding with their own people this time... but it was surprising that she trusted Red Hair so much.
But building a second home in the New World... does Hawkeye really not mind?
Big Mom knew about Wendy and Red Hair's relationship (the Three Generals rumor). She initially didn't expect Wendy to respond that way, after all, Wendy had previously stated Hawkeye's disapproval (the newspaper announcement), and she and Red Hair's child were being raised by Hawkeye (still the Three Generals rumor). Judging by her own experience, Big Mom naturally assumed Red Hair had been abandoned, leaving him with his son... Unexpectedly, Wendy Carter still harbored feelings for her.
She also felt that Wendy was ungrateful, but now she found the redhead even more annoying. This was probably because her people had tried to cause trouble for the redhead and failed, which made her feel humiliated.
Of course, this would break the previous deal with Wendy. She was very unhappy, and her anger was first directed at the red-haired girl - after all, Wendy was far away.
"The last incident hasn't been resolved yet... Bring someone over to meet him!"
And on the Red Hair Pirates' side...
"Are you happy, boss?" Beckman put down the newspaper, half-opened his eyes, and held a cigarette in his mouth. His tone had become a little vicissitudes of life. "Now you are known as the third party."
At that time, he felt that something was not good when he saw Shanks insisted on getting involved in the newspaper. With Wendy's dangerous personality that was always prone to hitting the bull's eye, this would definitely end badly... Now, the result is out.
Shanks was still laughing over there: "Hahahahaha, why? Don't I have a wedding too?"
"...Do you really think that's your wedding?" Beckman complained, and he didn't sympathize with his captain at all. After all, it was this guy who deliberately talked nonsense over there that led to the current situation.
Although he was surprised by Wendy's action. He knew that Wendy really believed that Shanks would become a Four Emperor, after all, she had said it last time...but he didn't expect her to directly announce it to the world at this time.
"So what's next, Boss?" Beckman asked.
"It's really a headache, but since Wendy trusts us so much..." Shanks put down the newspaper, his eyes instantly becoming more serious. He put his hand on the sword at his waist, and the smile on his face also changed slightly. His voice suddenly lowered, "Baker, call everyone and fight."
***
Wendy's attitude towards the Four Emperors is different from that of people in this world.
After all, she had thought about "collecting the achievements of the Four Emperors" before.
As for what the newspaper said, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it - because she only stated what she believed to be the facts.
After her speech, she went to harvest the crops. Since there were so many varieties, she happily developed new dishes. The three children were the happiest about this, with Luffy being the most enthusiastic. He was the only one who would devour any dish Wendy made, no matter how strange it looked.
Although the three of them consumed more energy with ASL, the collection speed became much faster. The number of refrigerators increased instead of decreased. Wendy even built an extra refrigerator for storage.
The packages Wendy gave them could hold a lot of things without any effort. They worked outside, and when their backpacks were full, they went back to give them to Wendy, and then replaced them with new empty backpacks before going out again.
Wendy even gave their spare backpacks a new skin—a monkey backpack. With the backpacks on, the three of them blended seamlessly into the baboon herd, happily going out hunting. If they came across Hawkeye training baboons, they'd even secretly team up to challenge him.
Of course, at the moment, they couldn't even defeat the baboon. Hawkeye's sneak attack wasn't so much blocked as ignored.
Hawkeye's initial emotional turmoil had calmed down after Wendy's comments. He could predict what the outside world would say, but he was too lazy to pay attention. The decision rested with Wendy anyway, so he didn't care what others thought.
Later, they read about the aftermath of this incident in the newspapers—the conflict between the Big Mom and Red Hair Pirates had concluded with the Red Hair Pirates' victory. While Big Mom herself hadn't been involved, the Red Hair Pirates' strength was now confirmed to be at least near the level of a Four Emperor. Just look at the bounty on Shanks' head.
"Shanks is really powerful!" Luffy's eyes lit up. As a fan of Shanks, he had strong confidence in Shanks.
Sabo picked up the newspaper that Luffy threw down, opened it and started reading the other pages about people's daily life.
Ace, meanwhile, wandered over to the kitchen and asked Wendy, who was standing next to the cooking pot: "Wendy, do you want to build a second home? Why?"
Wendy, tired from cooking, began to eat the various dishes she had developed. She stuffed a piece of ceviche into her mouth and swallowed it before answering Ace, "Because if I go somewhere else, home is too far away. It's more convenient to have a second home."
"Going somewhere else?" Ace continued, "To the New World? Then are you going to build a home with Shanks?"
"Mihawk and I have discussed this. I will have my own territory over there," Wendy said cheerfully.
As for where that place had been divided up, let's not worry about it for now.
Ace was silent for a while, then said, "What do you want me to do?"
"Yes!" Wendy nodded and continued speaking naturally, without pausing. It was obvious that she had thought it through long ago. "I want you to help me explore the map, find materials, find the message in the bottle, salvage the underwater treasure, see if you can trigger the celestial line, find the entrance to the underground world, and also find people... Ah, when my ship is built, come and help me sail it."
Ace was stunned by the other party's long list. He was stunned for a while after listening to it. Finally, he came to his senses and couldn't help but complain: "That's too much! Wendy, you are so greedy!"
"This is what we have to do! The real work will start after we open the Celestial Line and the Shadow Line!" Wendy retorted confidently, hands on her hips. "And let's not talk about the Shadow Line for now, the Celestial Line must be opened!"
After all, she unlocked the Piranha Plant suit after finding the Piranha Plant seeds. Now, she only had three skins left: [Joy], [Lava], [Moonbound], and [Ancient]. It looked like the Ancient skin was only unlockable underground, and the Moonbound skin was definitely unlocked after the Celestial Line was activated. She wanted to get some new clothes.
"That's too much!" Ace exclaimed loudly. After a moment's silence, he said in a somewhat awkward tone, "There's nothing I can do. I'll help you when I grow up."
Wendy immediately became happy: "Okay, okay, it's a deal!"
Hawkeye, who listened to the whole thing, said: "..."
It's over, this child can't escape at all.
But judging by Ace's expression, he probably had no intention of escaping in the first place, and was the type who had voluntarily walked into the trap. After Wendy said that, he visibly became happier and ran off to find his brothers.
The three brothers will not live here forever. Just like students who live in a boarding family during school and go home to help with farm work during winter and summer vacations, they will go back to another home after two months.
To send Ace and Luffy home, we still use the teleportation wand to activate the teleportation device. As for Sabo, the Revolutionary Army will come to pick him up.
But this time the person who came to pick him up was not Xiong, but another person.
Wendy looked at the people coming down and ran forward happily: "Dragon! It's you who comes to pick up Sabo this time!"
"Yes." The man who landed on Kraikana Island took off his cloak and hood, revealing his face. He smiled at her, "Long time no see, Wendy."
Sabo also shouted over there: "Chief!"
"Looking very energetic, Sabo," Long replied, looking at the man standing behind Wendy and nodding as a greeting. "Nice to meet you. I'm Monkey D. Dragon."
"Doracle Mihawk." Hawkeye introduced himself and nodded. "Nice to meet you, leader of the Revolutionary Army. What brings you here?"
