Chapter 159: For the sake of his daughter, he is willing to bear that name!
In Maginot's tavern, William held his chin in one hand and looked at Duski, who was teaching Luffy and Ace a lesson. He was still a little unresponsive for a moment.
Just after he returned to the warship after talking to Shanks, Garp's phone bug called.
He was shocked when he learned that the red-haired pirates had broken into Windmill Village. If he hadn't discovered the traces of Drago, he would have rushed back to Windmill Village immediately.
Fortunately, the village chief of Windmill Village told Garp, and William also came to Windmill Village, so Garp breathed a sigh of relief.
In Garp's opinion, William's strength should at least be enough to stop Red-haired Shanks from harming the villagers of Windmill Village, and judging from the village chief's tone, the Red-haired Pirates' popularity in Windmill Village is pretty good.
Therefore, after "thoughtful consideration", Garp decided to track down Drago's unfilial son first. As for Luffy and Ace, he left it to William to take care of them.
In any case, William is the eldest brother that both Ace and Luffy recognize. Although he is not the kind who drinks sworn wine, they still listen to William's words.
With William here, Garp at least doesn't have to worry about Luffy and Ace being tempted by Shanks to become pirates.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to be so lucky that Lieutenant General Garp won't be able to come back for the time being."
In the tavern, in addition to William, Dasqi, Gu Yina, Ace, Luffy and Uta, there are also a group of cadres of the red-haired pirates. During the past few days they stopped at Windmill Village,
I've been drinking in Maginot's Bistro.
Because the red-haired pirates don't bully the weak, and Shanks is also funny, Maginot is not afraid of Shanks, a big pirate. On the contrary, she is quite interested in Shanks' experiences on the sea.
"I said, if you are afraid of Lieutenant General Garp, why are you here?"
William looked at the red-haired man thoughtfully. This man was very strange. He wanted to come to Windmill Village before he got the Nika Fruit. What was the reason?
It's impossible. I really want to start from a baby and let Luffy dream of becoming a pirate.
If he remembered correctly, at the beginning, Shanks even wanted to refuse Luffy to become a pirate. He didn't want to affect Luffy's choice because of himself.
"Hiccup~"
Shanks burped, and then put his hand on William's shoulder like a fool. He happily pulled William's shoulder and started to shake it, "I want to come and see Captain Roger."
The sea area where I was born, and what the hometown of Lieutenant General Garp, who forced us into desperate situations several times, is like. Having been at sea for so many years, I am really curious."
Shanks himself is a person who thinks what he thinks and makes it happen. To be honest, William really believed his answer.
Shanks was going crazy with alcohol here, while Ace and Luffy, who were being scolded by Duski, didn't dare to raise their heads.
After all, Luffy and Esko are both reserve marines who have decided to become a great navy and end the era of great pirates. It is not a good thing to casually hang out with pirates they don't know.
They knew the red-haired character, so they could get along relatively harmoniously, while Luffy and Ace simply had no sense at all.
In order to make the two of them have a longer memory, Taschi recounted all the many cases recorded by the Navy Headquarters in which sailors were deceived by pirates and lost their lives. This made Ace and Luffy's bones feel numb.
"Sister Dusky, please stop scolding them. Shanks is a good person and would not do that kind of thing."
Listening to Daschi's lesson, even Uta couldn't bear it. After all, the pirates that Daschi told were completely different from the pirates she had come into contact with!
"How about I sing a song to you, Sister Dasqi?"
Uta thought of a way to make Dusky happy. She said hello, and Lucky Lu and Beckman immediately brought a table, and then they placed a stool in the center of the table.
The other red-haired cadres also immediately prepared lights and supporting fruits. Uta walked to the stool quite naturally, took the microphone from Shanks and started singing.
Although he was still just a child, Uta's voice contained a hint of immaturity that could not go away, but the word "sound of nature" still kept echoing in William's mind.
"What do you think, Shanks? Is it really okay for such a good child to have to bear that kind of sin?"
William looked thoughtfully at Shanks who looked drunk. He knew that Shanks looked like he had drunk too much, but in fact he was not drunk at all.
For this kind of drunkard, the small amount of wine in the tavern is not even enough to fill their teeth.
Shanks is just pretending.
Buzz!
As William expected, when he finished speaking, Shanks immediately lowered his head. He drank the wine glass silently, "How can I guarantee that your navy can take good care of Uta? Also,
I'm a pirate, your navy would be so kind to take care of a pirate's child?"
William happily knocked on the table, making no sound and not disturbing Uta's singing.
"Stop joking. As Uta, who do you think dares to touch her?"
"Shanks, you don't think our navy knows anything about your identity, do you?"
Seeing William's teasing expression, Shanks raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that even William knew his identity.
You know, although that identity sounds very noble, in fact Shanks doesn't want it at all.
But it seems that the Navy Headquarters has not discovered that Uta is not his biological daughter, which is a good thing.
He didn't want that identity, but it could become Uta's best self-defense weapon.
"Identities are all empty, right? You said yourself that Uta's ability could destroy the world, so until Uta has the ability to protect herself, it's safest to stay with her father. After all,
I will not harm her father."
Shanks shook his head. Although it was a good choice to hand Uta over to the Navy, with the identity recognized by the World Government and the Navy as a guarantee, at least Uta could grow up without any worries.

And the Navy Headquarters, where strong men gather, is also capable enough to prevent Uta from summoning the Demon King of Song to destroy the world. As long as he has no experience of destroying the world, Uta will
No need to bear any burden.
However, to make Shanks trust the navy, to be honest, he really couldn't do it.
William didn't look at the rejection on Shanks' face, he just tapped the table gently.
Shanks followed William's gaze and saw a boy with a somewhat stubborn expression pressing Luffy's head and apologizing to Duski.
"It's Ace, what happened to him?"
"When the name Ace is mentioned, don't you have anything to ask?"
Shanks was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at William as if he was half stunned.
William smiled and said nothing. He shouldn't know this news, but he revealed it to Shanks. In order to avoid trouble, William could not reveal any subjective meaning.
"Lieutenant General Garp is a great grandfather. Although his behavior is a bit chaotic, as a parent, he is very thorough in protecting his children."
You know, the three Ace brothers are just a bunch of little guys with no hair at all, but under Garp's control, they were all given military ranks and enjoyed the treatment of formal naval officers.
"Marshal Warring States has been very kind to me, and Lieutenant General He is also an impeccable senior. Shanks, you have been sailing on the sea for so many years, except for the people on the ship, who can you trust?"
William's words were not only asking Shanks, he was also reminding Shanks to ask himself in his heart who could Roger trust.
"I see."
Shanks sighed, could he trust anyone?
Apart from his companions on the ship, the only ones he could trust were probably the former members of the Roger Pirates.
But leaving Uta to be raised by them is no different from staying with the Red-haired Pirates. They have no ability to provide Uta with the most complete education. At the same time, they cannot prevent Uta from being exposed to him in the first place.
【Devil Movement】.
so······
"There are not many people that I can believe."
Shanks shook his head, and then he smiled, "William, do you still remember what you said to me when you came ashore today?"
William glanced at Shanks doubtfully, then he seemed to remember something, and then his eyes widened.
"Hahaha, Uta, come here."
Shanks laughed out loud at William's expression, and then waved to Uta. Uta, who had just finished singing and was enjoying the applause, walked to Shanks' side out of curiosity.
She raised her head, slightly confused, "Shanks, what's wrong? Am I not good at singing?"
"No, Uta, you are the best singer in the world, and your singing voice is definitely the best in the world on the sea."
Of course, Shanks could not unconscionably say that Uta's singing was not good. He pointed at William, and then said with William's speechless expression, "Do you remember him?"
Uta nodded seriously. She, William and Dasqi had only been separated for a long time, so naturally it was impossible to forget.
"Uta, how about you accept him as your godfather?"
Snapped!
As William slapped himself in the face, Shanks happily expressed his thoughts.
Rather than handing Uta over to the unfamiliar Staff Officer He, he felt that William could take good care of Uta.
After all, according to the investigation of the Red-Haired Pirates, both Dasqi and Gu Yina became "prosperous" after following William.
William is a leader who treats his subordinates and his own people very well. This can be seen just by looking at the growth of Gu Yina and Dasqi.
Chief Crane coordinates the entire navy. Although she can take good care of Uta, Shanks wants partiality, not equal care!
Uta is a treasure in the red-haired pirate group, and he doesn't want Uta to be treated like an ordinary child after he goes to the navy.
"Eh?!"
After hearing Shanks' words, except for William, everyone in the tavern burst out in surprise, especially Lucky Lu and other cadres of the pirate group, who had no idea what was happening.
Beckman glanced at William thoughtfully, and then he began to consider the possibility that Shanks was drunk.
"Shanks, don't you want me anymore?"
Uta's nerves are very sensitive. After Shanks said those words, her first reaction was that Shanks didn't want her anymore and wanted to find another father for her.
After all, Uta knew that she was not Shanks' biological daughter.
Seeing Uta's expression of wanting to cry, Shanks immediately started to comfort him in a hurry, but Uta didn't listen at all.
"Major General William, what happened?"
Even though Dasqi and Gu Yinna were very nervous, they couldn't understand what was going on. After William conveyed the situation to their minds through Oliha Gang's barrier, the two looked at each other, and then
With a faint smile, they took Uttara aside and whispered comfort.
Beckman and other leaders of the red-haired pirates also pulled Shanks aside, and for a while the tavern was filled with whispers.
William helplessly picked up the juice in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He looked at the curious look of Mackino at the bar and shook his head. There was some gossip that I couldn't listen to!
"Eh!"
"Eh!"
As a burst of exclamations spread, Dasqi and Gu Yinna finished telling Uta the truth of the matter, and the red hair also told his crew of his considerations, and the tavern became lively again for a while.
"Shanks, do you really want to give me to the navy?"
Although Uta knew that Shanks took good care of her, and she also learned about the terrifying and uncontrollable nature of her abilities through Dusky's popular science, she still felt that Shanks wanted to abandon her.
Shanks took a deep breath, and then he stood in front of Uta seriously.
"Uta."
Shanks' voice was very low, "The sea is vast. If you want to sail freely on the sea, you must have the ability to control yourself."
"Although we are a group of pirates, pirates should not be people who bring nightmares and tears to others at will. Pirates on the sea should be full of laughter and laughter, and should be full of longing for freedom."
"Now that you know your abilities, can you still sing on the sea without any scruples?"
Hearing Shanks' question, Utamu shook her head blankly. After learning about the relationship between the Song Fruit and [Devil's Movement], she was really a little scared.
Having been with Shanks for so long, she naturally knew how powerful Shanks was. The thought that she might summon more than one uncontrollable Shanks made her a little worried.
If the Demon King of Song had been summoned while singing before, how tragic would the killings have been?
"Let's make a promise. Ten years later, I will personally go to the Navy Headquarters to take you back to the ship. In these ten years, you must study hard and become the world's number one singer!"
"In the name of Fegalan Gong Uta!"
Feijalan, the Celestial Dragon family that was completely wiped out by the Rocks Pirates in the Battle of the Valley of Gods, was also one of the Twenty Holy Families that year. Currently, only Shanks is left in this family.
Although Shanks has had some contact with the World Government over the years, he has never regarded the name Roger told him as his own.
In order for his daughter to grow up happily and peacefully, Shanks decided that at least for the next ten years, he would carry that name on his body.
