Pirate: Reincarnated as a Black Charcoal Orochi

"This is not the place to talk, Mr. Karp. Please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you then."

Garp was not very surprised as to why the woman in front of him was so calm about his arrival. No matter how unreliable that bastard Roger was, important matters such as entrusting a wife and presenting a child should always be done with his wife. Just say it.

As for why she knew that she was Garp, it could only be attributed to the fact that she was born with a rare pair of discerning eyes.

Lowering his head and walking into the hut along the back door of the kitchen, Garp gently closed the door behind him, plucked off a handful of seaweed stuck to his chin, and casually threw it aside and looked at it like Inside the lidless keg in the trash can.

It is not exactly the same as the impression given by the appearance. It may be because of concerns about the height of a certain former user. This cabin obviously shows traces of a second reconstruction. A considerable part of the floor slabs have been removed from the original ones. Location demolition.

The original second floor space was probably merged with the original attic. Although the entire interior of the cabin is too tall for a woman of ordinary stature, there is a space that allows a giant man like Garp to Room for free movement indoors.

But other than that, this cabin is like country cabins that can be seen everywhere across the sea. These cabins built by lower-level nobles in the countryside not far from the mansion are basically used for summer vacation and hunting. There are one or twenty buildings on every inhabited island.

After the death of the lower-level nobles who built them, these country houses of little value are usually given away by the new noble head of the family as property to cover for those brothers and sisters who failed to inherit the noble title.

From this point of view, if this guy Roger didn't buy this house with his wine money, it was his wife's private property.

Then this "Pirate King" legacy might be a noble lady from a nearby country.

"Mr. Karp, please have some tea."

While Garp was thinking about the origin of this woman he had never heard of, she was already preparing tea for the guests alone.Just like that, he was holding the tray in one hand and beckoning Garp to sit down on the sofa in the living room with the other hand.

Garp, who was actually quite embarrassed by the current situation, suddenly began to worry about the seawater stains on his body.

There are no expensive decorations in the interior of the hut.

What was served was not a delicacy that could be called delicacies.

It stands to reason that even under the instruction of the Five Old Stars, the "World Government Goodwill Conference" held at the end of each year in the Holy Land Marie Joa should be said to be a major event second only to the highest-level conference such as the "World Conference". Activities are always arrogant, and there is always a Garp who skips work midway.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to feel restrained by any tea party or other event in the world.

But when Garp realized that he couldn't resist the quiet but firm eyes of the hostess of the cabin, and sat on the green satin sofa as if he was compromising, he really felt a very fresh feeling about the current situation.

For the adjutant who has been tortured by Garp for more than ten years, this is probably an emotion that everyone agrees is impossible to appear in a terrifyingly nervous person like Garp.

If you had to give it a name, it would be: at a loss.

After all, here, every home furnishing is taken care of spotlessly by the owner. Whether it is the placement or the color matching, it makes people look completely pleasing to the eye.

Whether it is the tassels on the curtains or the folded corners of the paper, the arrangement of the teapot or the fluffy carpet, everything reveals the extraordinary care and sincerity of the residents.Anyone who has personally experienced this space will know:

How much the owner here cherishes this house;

And for life, he is full of yearning and enthusiasm.

In this world that is completely different from his own naval career, even Garp, known as the "Iron Fist", has to soften his fist, which is enough to flatten eight mountains.

It's like a young man with little social experience who accidentally entered a world that didn't belong to him.

Even though he was sitting down, Garp was still half taller than the woman holding the tray in front of him. He rather stiffly imitated the posture of Ahe and her female sailors at the tea party in his memory.

Carefully pick up the tea tray placed on the table and grasp the handle of the petal-shaped tea cup.

Using his good teeth, which he had spent most of his time chewing meat on, he began to sip the tea that was just the right temperature inside.

While drinking tea to ease his embarrassment, Garp also took this opportunity to secretly observe this strange woman who, at the last moment of the "Pirate King"'s life, captured this strange woman who, at best, was a prodigal on the sea.

'How should I put it, even if I tell you, she can't be said to be the kind of beauty compared to Charlotte Lingling. '

For Garp, who teamed up with Roger to end the "Rocks Era", he had naturally seen Charlotte Lingling in her prime when she was known as "the most beautiful woman in the world". Of course, he had also seen that woman's crazy pursuit and defeat. Rocks's weird period with Roger.

Compared to the "Pirate Empress" Charlotte, who knew that after giving birth to a child, she would most likely be killed by her violent postpartum wife, there were still countless heroes of the sea who wanted to be her guest. Lingling.

The woman in front of her has long light hair and wears a hibiscus flower as a headdress, which is very common in southern countries.

Even if it's flattering, she can hardly be called the kind of beauty that makes people fall in love with her at first sight.

Although the facial features are correct and the skin is fair, to other people in the Baliwu Kingdom, the freckles on the face are actually considered by more people to be a kind of skin than a kind of "childlike innocence" as those people say. It is difficult to get a positive evaluation due to its shortcomings.

In addition, Karp, who has a keen insight, can also list out the characteristics of this woman, such as dry hair, fine lines between eyebrows, and rough fingertips, which are not particularly in line with Dahai's traditional aesthetics of "beauty".

In addition, this woman maintains a very good manner and does not panic when facing herself as a navy. Although it is relatively strange, she does not have the kind of personality charm that will make people fall in love with her.

Garp really couldn't imagine why Roger, who had been entangled with him for most of his life, chose to marry the woman in front of him who was probably less than half his age, and even had a child between them.

'No, I almost forgot the most important thing! '

Although after entering this hut, Garp, who was rarely concerned about etiquette issues, did not continue to explore the surroundings with his knowledge and domineering attitude.

But Garp is not the kind of blind lecturer who has no observation ability without the domineering power of knowledge, not to mention the current situation. It can be seen with the naked eye alone that the woman in front of him does not have a trace of abdominal pain hidden behind the tray. Strange protrusion.

Apparently, Roger's children had been born on this island before he arrived.

It can be said that Garp's mood is quite complicated about this. He doesn't know whether he should be grateful that he does not have to take care of a pregnant woman, or whether he should be worried about the difficulties this newborn is destined to face in the future and the current epidemic.

But on how to deal with the current situation, we still need to seek the advice of the mother of the child.

So Garp put down the tea cup in his hand and tried his best to show his trustworthy and dignified side:

"I'm really embarrassed to say it..."

"Yes."

"Um, what's your name?"

"what?"

"No, no, no, look, at that time I and that bastard...

Ah, no, I don’t have much time to talk to that guy Roger.

He just told me that you live on a small island in the South China Sea, and then he gave me nothing but a life card.

Regarding other things, I actually don’t know much..."

"That's right, this is indeed that person's style."

When the woman wearing a hibiscus flower on her head heard this, she seemed to think of the "Pirate King" in her mind who was completely different from the impression of outsiders, and finally smiled for what was probably her first time since her husband's death.

If you let Garp, the only person present who saw this smile, describe it.

How should I put it? It was by no means an exaggerated smile like that in the legend of the Kingdom of Flowers, "One smile can conquer a city, and another smile can conquer a country."

Completely different from the magnificent flowers on her head, this woman's smile is by no means as beautiful as a warm bloom, but something completely different from this sea dominated by passionate men chasing their dreams.

Although he didn't quite understand it, Garp, who had experience in starting a family and starting a business in the past, probably understood why Roger, that bastard, wanted to irresponsibly marry and have children at the end of his life.

We also roughly know why Roger, who conquered the Grand Line, would choose such a country woman as his wife. It is very likely that he has never seen those magnificent sea views in his life that make people feel that their trip is worthwhile.

When this woman was questioned by her old enemy, who was rumored to have arrested her husband and caused his death in a public execution in the Navy, she did not show any confrontational emotions. Instead, she bowed respectfully:

"My name is Lujiu, Gol D. Lujiu...

As much as I want to say this, unfortunately, my husband's name has become a taboo at this time.

In order to protect the life of the child in her belly, her current name is Portcas D. Rujiu.

And this child should be named Portcas in the future and live in the era started by his father. "

"Is that so, you are also a 'd'?"

Karp said in a slightly emotional tone:

“I don’t know what this thing represents, but it’s something Roger has been looking for.

It seems to be related to this middle name that is widely distributed around the world, but is actually quite rare. "

Probably because he found something in common between himself and the widow, Garp, who was originally quite nervous, began to relax.

As he spoke, he unceremoniously reached out and stuffed the snacks prepared by Lu Jiu into his long-empty stomach.

"Baji Baji, it is said that people with this middle name are related to something like spirit or will that has been passed down from the distant past, Baji Baji.

Bah, bah, bah, I really don’t understand. Although these are just a few words that I heard from Roger, bah, bah, Lujiu, you should know more than me, right?Bah, bah, bah. "

“No, my husband actually didn’t talk too much about these things with me during his lifetime.

Because my health is actually not very good, until I met my husband, I have never left this island.

So compared to these, he actually prefers to tell me stories about overseas customs and customs.

If he mentions it occasionally, he always says to me: 'He was born too early. 'Such helpless words..."

Although he said words like "there is nothing you can do", Lujiu's tone was full of tenderness and deep longing.

In Garp's eyes, she was gradually opening her heart to herself, a stranger she met for the first time, and being able to be honest with herself, the guy arranged by her husband, who should be said to be a protector.

The atmosphere between the two parties finally took a turn for the better and began to gradually relax.

When Lu Jiu mentioned Roger, the lingering melancholy in Lu Jiu's eyebrows seemed to be fake.

The whole person finally exudes the youthful vitality that is suitable for her age group, and the fine lines caused by frowning for a long time have also relaxed.

In this way, the whole person's temperament is more consistent with the fiery red hibiscus flower in her hair.

But Garp was not in the mood to appreciate and explore the charm of a widow, especially a young woman who was about the same age as his own son and looked much younger than his prematurely aging son.

He was just munching on sweet and salty snacks while thinking about something wrong that he just noticed.

'Life, children, belly...'

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, and Garp, who was about to shout out, suppressed it at the last moment with the vibration of the throat muscles and vocal cords of the controller of the secret of "return of life".

But before he could swallow the nauseating feeling with a sip of tea, he quickly asked in a hoarse voice:

"What's going on? Is it possible that your and Roger's child hasn't been born yet?"

"Yes, just as my husband expected, this period is still too dangerous for this child."

One of Lujiu's hands supported the wooden tray in his hand, and the other hand caressed his lower abdomen with gentle movements. The expression on his face now became kind and loving.

But for Garp, this kind of thing seems so incredible.

'How can it be?That bastard Roger has been dead for who knows how many months.

When Roger was still in Impel Down, the child was already 4 months old, according to him.

If he remembered correctly, then it was time for the child to be born no matter what. How could this be possible? '

Looking at Lu Jiu's flat belly behind the tray, Garp couldn't help but widen his eyes, with an unbelievable expression on his face:

"But, your belly is obviously..."

"No sign of pregnancy, right?"

Facing Garp's surprise, Lujiu didn't have any special reaction.

He just calmly explained to this old sea soldier who debuted at the same time as his husband, and now his eyes almost popped out:

"Because my husband foresaw the current situation before he was alive, I have thought a lot about this child...

The current body shape is achieved by maintaining a minimum nutritional intake and filling various parts of the clothes with sponges to weaken the abrupt feeling in the lower abdomen.

In addition to the first time, on the premise of ensuring the safety of the child, many methods were used to prevent outsiders from discovering the existence of the child.

However, as the situation worsens, it seems that the situation is far from being ready for this child to come into this world..."

"Wait, wait a moment, I can't turn my head like this."

The naval hero, who had become accustomed to living without his brain, was a little confused for a moment.

Garp, who was dizzy with the new information coming one after another, could only pick up the question he cared about most and ask Lujiu:

"Although I still don't quite understand what the situation is, I still have a lot of questions about you.

But all in all, what does this sentence, 'It is not yet time for this child to come into this world', mean? "
