Chapter 129: Celestial Mission Day 1 (410,000 Nutrient Solution Plus Update)...
Day 1 of Celestial Mission:
The new visitor is Beckmann.
As soon as he got close, someone reported it to Wendy.
Although Wendy has very few true subordinates, she is so popular that the people in the territory do not want their superiors to be replaced. Whenever there is any sign of trouble, they hold private meetings to decide whether to report it to their superiors.
Wendy left a Den Den Mushi for every resident on the island, but they could only call when there was something important going on. This time, when someone saw the Red Hair Pirates' logo, they immediately notified Wendy.
After all, this is another of the Four Emperors' groups, and it's already a diplomatic incident.
After Wendy said she understood, a group of villagers started discussing it secretly.
"Those are the Red Hair Pirates, right? What are they doing here?"
"Is it because the player's power has risen up and come to say hello?"
"Is it that red-haired man who came in person?"
"I don't know...but Mr. Player has Mr. Hawkeye, right? Is this really okay?"
"Didn't they say they had a child? Are they here to discuss the child's issues?"
"That's not right. It's obvious that the child wasn't raised at home. The Ace in the newspaper before was Hawkeye and Mr. Carter's."
"What if the Red Hair Pirates want to merge with our Eternal Continent? I'd rather be under Lady Wendy's command..."
"Impossible! When the player sent Red Hair to become one of the Four Emperors, he definitely had his own ambitions. If there was a merger, it would be them merging with us!"
"But the sizes of our two groups are completely different..."
"Yes, unless the children of Red Hair and Wendy-sama come to inherit both groups."
"Idiot! Pirates aren't like the Kingdom, there's no inheritance system! And if there's inheritance, then it's obvious that Ace the Fire Fist is the heir, right?"
"It's hard to say. Doesn't Master Wendy have an eldest son?"
"But last time I asked Lady Wendy, she said those two were the same age and both were her eldest sons."
"They're twins, after all... the difference is just a tiny bit, so it's hard to estimate. It all depends on their abilities."
"Shouldn't we think about other issues before we think about the heir?"
"That's what I'm saying, you idiots! The succession thing has been going on for who knows how many years, and now it's a crisis for the survival of our Eternal Continent Pirates!"
A group of people were discussing the matter with concern.
Meanwhile, spies from other factions lurking within the group secretly noted: [Wendy Carter stated that she has two eldest sons, and the succession issue seems to be undecided. The Red Hair Pirates have sent someone to visit, presumably to discuss the succession issue…]
Wendy was unaware that her people were beginning to worry about the fight for the crown prince. She watched the ship flying the Red Hair Pirates' flag approach, and waved happily to a familiar face standing on the deck: "Beckman! Long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Wendy." Stepping onto the Pluto again, Beckman felt different and more relaxed. After all, the last time he was forced to teach Wendy how to drive a boat had left him with a certain degree of psychological trauma, but this time he was much more relaxed.
After greeting him, he couldn't help but look up at the large shade of the tree above his head, "This tree is..."
"I planted this water tree. I got the seeds from the Sabaody Archipelago," Wendy said, looking up proudly. "How's it? Amazing, isn't it?"
"The Sabaody Archipelago... could it be the Algiers?" Beckman paused for a moment before coming to his senses and sighing, "That's truly amazing!"
Although I don’t know how Wendy managed to grow the tree so big after obtaining the seeds...but Wendy has many secrets, so it’s not surprising that she has one more.
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the three people on the boat - Nicole Robin, the orphan of O'Hara... She is indeed indispensable to Wendy... I just don't know what kind of mentality Crocodile had when he got on the boat, I always feel that she is an unstable factor.
His eyes met Crocodile's for a moment, and the other looked at him with a face that showed he was not convinced by anyone.
Beckman couldn't possibly clash with Wendy's crew on her boat. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he moved away. Then he bent down and whispered to Wendy, "How did Sand Crocodile join you?"
"You mean Crook? He said he wanted to borrow my Abigail, work for me for two years and then lend it to him for a week."
"...Is it okay for you to lend it out like this?" Beckman looked at Wendy's ignorant expression and became a little worried.
After all, this is Pluto...
Wendy blinked twice and nodded. "Well, the Abigail needs some training to officially start up, and Crook doesn't know how. Besides, the Abigail's durability should be running out in two years. I'll just lend it to him for the time he has left. It won't matter if he refuses to return it."
She'll make sure to lend it to Crocodile when the durability is at 5%! If the durability is still high after two years, she'll take Pluto out for a spin to collect resources! She hasn't disassembled the staff yet, and Pluto can't disassemble it, so it can't be recycled!
Beckman: “…” This evil-minded girl is definitely playing dumb most of the time!
Knowing that the other party knew what was going on, Beckman didn't say anything more, but looked at Hawkeye with some curiosity - normally Hawkeye would come over and ask him what the matter was... Could it be that because Wendy was the captain, he would protect Wendy's dignity as captain and not interfere?
Beckman and Hawkeye's eyes met, and the other nodded calmly, then his gaze returned to Wendy.
Beckman understood in his heart - it seemed that everything was really stable... It seemed that their relationship had made great progress compared to the last time he came.
But this way, it would be easier for him to say that he wanted to punch his own willful captain.
"Our boss said he hopes you will go see him. He has something to discuss with you alone, and it's not appropriate to talk via message." After clearing the area (actually, the two of them just walked away silently), Beckman explained his purpose.
Wendy nodded: "Okay, I'll go over there in a minute with all the food we need for the round trip."
Beckman felt Hawkeye's death gaze: "..."
No, didn't you react before? Or is this hostility now only directed at their boss? Why? He didn't think Wendy actually had any special feelings towards the boss!
Wendy turned around and told Hawkeye earnestly, "I'll be back before dark. If I'm too late, go to bed and wait for me."
She didn't mean anything else, but because now that she had shared Hawkeye's three-dimensional data, the result of the three-dimensional surge in her satiety, spirit value, and health value was that the values were no longer maxed out by just eating a few bites like before. Sleeping was the most cost-effective at this time - and sleeping with Hawkeye didn't require a durable tent!
But whoever heard this...
Hawkeye: “…”
Beckman: “…”
Beckman looked at Hawkeye with a subtle look, but Hawkeye had already retracted his death stare. After a long silence, he replied to Wendy, "I understand, but don't say that in front of outsiders next time."
Wendy: “?”
Ben Outsider Beckman: "Exactly. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't want to hear that."
Wendy turned to look at him with a confused look on her face: "Beckman, you want to wait for me in bed too?"
"No! I was just saying it casually!" Beckman quickly waved his hands, explaining with an absolutely murderous look on his face. He realized that when talking to Wendy, he really had to think more carefully about his words! He absolutely couldn't joke around like that!
But now he was sure that Hawkeye was not staring at him as closely as before, and it was definitely because of this incident... although it seemed that he only relaxed for a moment.
"Congratulations, are you married?" Beckman asked with a smile, "When will the wedding be held?"
"I'll talk about it once I find some suitable new clothes. I'll definitely let you know then! I plan to hold one at each of my two homes!" Wendy had already walked over to the teleport sign, chosen the address, and waved to the two of them. "I'll go ask Shanks what's going on. Mihawk, you treat Beckman well!"
The five-second countdown was up and Wendy teleported over.
Hawkeye retracted his gaze, looked at Beckman, and asked directly: "When are you leaving?"
"Hey, is this your way of entertaining guests, Hawkeye?" Beckman chuckled. "I say, you don't have to be so nervous. I think Wendy likes you very much."
Hawkeye: "I know."
Beckman: "..." Are you so confident?
Hawkeye continued calmly, "But that doesn't stop her from liking other people."
...Hmm, I can't argue with that. — Beckman, who had nearly become the third person to be married, thought to himself.
"In that case, why don't you stop her?" Beckman asked.
"That's what she wants to do, and I won't stop her because of my own selfish desires." Hawkeye looked at him, "Besides, if I refuse, she won't marry anyone else."
Beckman stared at him blankly.
After a few seconds, he couldn't help but complain in his heart - although it sounds very imposing! But isn't your request a little too low?
***
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wendy teleported to Shanks' room.
But maybe because she came during the day, there was no one in the room. She blinked twice and walked out, randomly scaring a few people from the Red Hair Pirates, and then saw Shanks on the deck.
But it seems that she came at the wrong time, as someone is coming to challenge her.
Shanks also saw her, turned around and greeted her with a smile: "Wendy, you're here, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Then, he turned around and dealt with the newcomer who came to provoke him with a single move. He put his sword back at his waist and walked over. "I thought you would come later... Is Beckman here with you?"
"Yeah, Mihawk is entertaining him right now," Wendy nodded and looked up at him, "What do you want from me, Shanks?"
Shanks smiled and said, "Let's talk in my room later."
Wendy had no objection and followed him.
"I saw the news about Ace going to sea. Are you planning to have him join your army?"
"Well, Ace is going to help me drive the boat."
"I see... If he likes it, it's a good thing for him." Shanks pushed open the door of the room, waited for Wendy to walk in, closed the door, and sat down.
"Shanks, are you here to ask about Ace?" Wendy blinked.
"No, Ace, I'm relieved to have you and Hawkeye with me... I asked you to come here for something else." Shanks' smile faded, but he didn't continue speaking immediately. Instead, he paused before asking, "Wendy, if you saw someone who looked like me, what would you do?"
Wendy looked confused: "Same as you?"
"Hmm..." Shanks raised his hand and traced his finger over the scar over his left eye, "Except for the three scars on my face."
"Isn't that easy to recognize?" Wendy looked puzzled. "Are you worried that I might make a mistake? Are you underestimating me?"
Such obvious differences! Even if the other models are exactly the same, it is easy to recognize!
"..." Shanks was silent for a moment, then laughed, his tone somewhat helpless, "It's not the same thing... but it really shouldn't be a big deal to you."
He straightened his expression, which became more serious. "What I want to tell you is that there is a high possibility that someone will come looking for you next... Wendy, do you know the Knights of God?"

The author has something to say: Phew… I almost wanted to cheat while writing, but luckily I still had my sanity, so I restrained myself and told myself to be patient and wait for the IF line before immersing myself in my own art [Pigeon]
A new chapter is opening! Our celestial line is finally coming! I'll change the cover once I get the clothes! [Kiss]
I hope I can write about new clothes in the next chapter... (typing rapidly with sparks flying on the keyboard)
