On the opposite side, listening to Sanji's words, Gaji pursed his lips, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Jiazhi sighed first and then said.
"Long time no see, my... son.
By the way, are you going to stay on Lord Gawain's ship and be the head chef?"
"oh?"
Hearing Gaji's words, Sanji was slightly startled. He thought his father would become furious.
After all, with his father's character, he should have been even more dissatisfied when faced with his son's provocation and disdain for him.
As a result, my father was not angry, but asked about his current future?
For a moment, the detached feeling that Sanji had just maintained of seeing through the Vinsmoke family disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He was silent for a moment, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
With the smoke rising up into the clouds, Sanji nodded slightly.
"Indeed, I am now following Lord Gawain and temporarily managing the kitchen and other related matters for him."
Having said this, Sanji felt a little reluctant. He always felt that he had to see his father's side that broke his defenses.
So he paused for a moment and then continued.
"However, although I am only responsible for the kitchen now, adults often remind me to practice my martial arts diligently.
Therefore, in my spare time, I will study boxing and kicking kung fu with Zefa, the former navy admiral and the teacher of the three current navy admirals, together with Ace and others, the commander of the Iron Eagle Warriors."
After the words fell, Sanji picked up the cigarette and flicked it lightly.
And just as the cigarette ashes fell to the ground, Gaji nodded slightly and smiled.
“In that case, that’s good….
I remember at the beginning, I... just thought you were not mature enough.
But today, you have found your own way.
In any case, this is very good, but when working under Lord Gawain, don't be proud and encourage yourself.
Also, take care of yourself!”
After the words fell, Gaji looked at Sanji with two emotions in his eyes.
After all, this boy is his son after all.
Although I regard my children as tools, I can no longer treat them as tools when they break out of their cages.
What's more, although Sanji has escaped his control, he still has the mentality of a young man, eager to prove something to himself.
Since such a young son wants to talk about the past with him, that's fine.
Just talk about your feelings with him a little bit!
If he can arouse a little admiration from this boy, then with his status by Gawain's side, he might be able to become an insurance for his future.
As for Sanji, after hearing what Gaji said, his eyes widened in shock!
He never imagined that after he finally escaped from the family, he would meet the so-called father again.
What he heard was not the cold voice and the cold rain, but... the concern from his ruthless father!!!
For a moment, Sanji's right hand holding the cigarette began to tremble.
Although he had deeply hated his family in the past few years.
But no matter what, he is also a child who is growing up.
Does he really not expect support and love from his family?
After Sanji trembled for a moment, he brought the cigarette to his mouth and took a heavy drag.
After blowing out the smoke ring, he was about to say something, but saw Gaji suddenly say something again.
"You started smoking, which is really... not something a child should do.
But I'm not qualified to say anything to you. Although you and I are father and son, as long as you don't hate me as an enemy, then I'll be satisfied.
In short, smoke less, you should know that cigarette smoke damages your body!
In addition, let’s stop chatting. The time for reminiscing about old times has passed. Now let’s get down to business!
Your Excellency has sent you to see me to inquire about something important!
Reiju, tell me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gaji glared at Reiju with a pair of tiger eyes.
Facing Gaji's eyes, Reiju sighed slightly.
Although my younger brother has grown up, he is still far behind his ruthless father in terms of human skills and strength.
Sanji was in the middle of the game, so he couldn't see anything, but Reiju saw it clearly.
His younger brother was clearly held back by his father with just a few words of understanding...
My father was able to do such a great job in the chaotic Beihai, not only because of the inheritance of the Vinsmoke family and the gifts from his ancestors!
I still have a lot to learn, brother!
While thinking about it, Reiju shook her head and said to Gaji.
"Father, Sanji and I came here because we just thought that since you are here, we should show up to see you no matter what.
As for my lord's instructions, you misunderstood, my lord did not give me any orders."
"oh?"
Hearing Reiju's words, Gaji's brows wrinkled again. He looked around for a moment, then whispered to Reiju.
"In that case, come with me to the quiet room to chat for a while. I..."
"Father!"
On the opposite side, listening to Gaji's words, Reiju immediately understood what her father meant.
On the other hand, Sanji on the side still couldn't understand, so he stood there in confusion.
As for Reijiu, she looked around habitually, then turned back and said.
"My lord, he really has no orders, whether it is something that can be said in front of others or something that needs to be said alone in a quiet room.
In short, father, don’t think too much, we are here just to take a look at you!”
"Is it?"
On the other hand, even though Reiju explained a lot, Gaji didn't believe it all.
He thought for a moment and then asked.
"Reiju, you have to know that this is where the kings of the fifty countries gather.
Except for many Tianlong people, anyone else who wants to come here has absolutely no chance.
If you think about it, of course you have passed the test of the guards guarding this place, but no matter what, you have to be questioned by the guards.
And you, hehe, you are just the servants of His Highness Gawain, the Celestial Dragon. If His Excellency really did not issue an order, do you want to tell me that you servants are actually qualified to run rampant in Mary Joy?"
"Father, we are not servants, at least we are your subordinates!
Apart from that, we are indeed qualified to run rampant in Mary Joy!
In addition to Chambord Castle where the seniors of the Five Old Stars are located, whether it is Pangu City where the Tianlong people live, or the major scenic spots and slave living areas of Mariejoia outside Pangu City, we can all wander around at will!"
Reiju immediately refuted Gaji's statement, but after refuting it, Reiju was suddenly stunned.
Because she suddenly thought that her father seemed to have given her a small lesson invisibly.
I have to admit that when they came together with Sanji, both Reiju and Sanji had a detached mentality.
Gao Wen's long-term trust and care really made them feel that they were qualified and capable to stand in front of their families.
Finally, after waiting for this day, Reijiu had to admit that her father was still her father.
With just a few words, he and Sanji's detached mentality were shattered to pieces!
While Reiju was thinking, Gaji on the opposite side nodded slightly and then said sternly.
"According to what you said, Lord Gawain is really tolerant to you, but even so, you two should not be arrogant because of his favor.
In addition, since your Excellency has no orders yet, I will only wait until the end of the World Conference to meet Lord Gawain in person and discuss the next stage of cooperation with him face to face.
You two have also seen me. Whether it's me or your brother, we are all working hard for your Lord's order!
So, go back and don't waste your time and Lord Gawain's favor on personal matters.
By the way, I would like to inform you, sir, and convey the news of my upcoming visit!"
After the words fell, before Reiju could say anything else, Gaji took Niji and others away from the place and found another place far away to rest.
Looking at the backs of her father and family, Reiju frowned and Sanji's nose sore.
"He's still so proud." Sanji couldn't help but said insincerely.
Hearing Sanji's words, Reiju snorted softly and said.
"Of course, my father is a proud man, and you should at least call him father.
In short, I saw it and learned it.
Compared with these adults, we have a lot to learn!"
"yes……."
Sanji nodded quickly, feeling grateful.
"I thought that my appearance this time would make him angry.
As a result... I was so sour that I couldn't hold the cigarette in my hand tightly.
Even if I follow the adults, I'm still far away from that guy, huh.
No more talking, no more talking, I will go back and continue to exercise.
It’s just one move away every time. I’m so angry. I have to defeat that green algae head this month!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji put out his cigarette and left the area where the kings lived.
Looking at her younger brother's enterprising back, Reijiu was slightly startled for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.
Although his father taught him another lesson, no matter what, he and his brother had already found a way to suppress his father head-on!
Adults are indeed worthy of learning. I also need to be like my brother and should continue to work hard!
After all, if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I will never be able to defeat that ruthless and wise father head-on in my life!
By that time, unless I climb into an adult's bed, I will never be as good as a true hero like my father...
Um?
Wait, what are you thinking???
In the past, I shouldn't have thought about these things, right?
Reijiu's cheeks turned slightly red, and then she bit her lips again.
It must have been done by senior Wulaoxing, it must be!
It's all their fault, why did they say those strange things to themselves a few days ago.
What if she can become Gawain's woman, then she can get high-level diplomatic support from the Five Old Stars, push many kings in the North Sea to collectively impeach Gaji, and let herself, the daughter of the Vinsmoke family, inherit the position of patriarch, etc.
!
Well, these words must have had an impact on me, I really shouldn’t have!
But...is that really just random thinking?
Regardless of his ability to kill the legendary golden lion, or his simple appearance and temperament.
If you can really marry such a person, then even if you are just one of many wives, even if you can only share the love of adults with many people.
That must be very happy, right?
…
…
…
At the same time, within the family.
Gawain left Franky's room feeling slightly disappointed.
Facts have proved that the conjecture about nuclear bombs was just a conjecture.
Although the technology in the pirate world, whether it is artificial humans, cloned devil fruits, bloodline research and development, or large sea and air ships, these are all incredibly powerful.
But after all, science still has to pay attention to the basic law!
However, the world of pirates has little soil for a series of theories about nuclear bombs to take root!
In other words, the current high technology in the pirate world is all independently supported by individual geniuses.
There are not even advanced institutions of higher learning such as advanced mathematics and advanced physics and chemistry here!
French's specialty lies in machining. He is an excellent mechanic, but not an excellent nuclear physicist.
As for baby·5, this girl is even less useful. Not to mention physics, she doesn’t even understand life...
Although her weapon fruit relies on imagination to turn her into a weapon.
She does not need to understand the manufacturing principles of weapons such as rocket launchers, she can use her imagination to create corresponding weapons.
But imagination has its limits. I have never seen anything like a nuclear bomb with my own eyes. No matter how much Baby·5 imagined, the bomb she transformed would only have an explosion range of twenty or thirty meters at most.
There is also the reason why she is too weak, maybe.
In short, even if she really transformed into the nuclear bomb that Gawain wanted, she even transformed into the nuclear pattern on the surface of the nuclear bomb that Gawain described.
But she has never been able to reach the power of a nuclear bomb.
Gawain even felt that he could give up the idea of transforming Baby·5 into a nuclear bomb.
Instead of relying on this girl to find a way to unlock nuclear bombs across technologies, it would be more reliable to send someone to steal some bomb rocks with Mr. Zefa, and then turn baby·5 into a bomb rock.
After all, Bomb Rock is a real thing in the pirate world, and its power is no less powerful than a nuclear bomb.
In the animation, the expressiveness of the bomb rock is top-notch. With just one blast, it can destroy everything within a few kilometers.
In short, even without the nuclear bomb, Baby·5 is still a top-notch weapon girl, and her abilities are still worthy of Gawain's expectations.
In this way, Gawain solemnly handed baby·5 to Keya and Franky. From now on, this child will be Franky's assistant in weapons research and development.
I hope her cooperation can help Franky come up with more new weapons.
The great cause is imminent. Next, I must not only recruit soldiers and horses desperately, but also try every means to improve the average strength of the soldiers and horses!
While Gawain was thinking, he had returned to the courtyard and sat near the training ground.
Seeing Gawain sit down, Rayleigh came over with a smile, moved a chair and sat next to Gawain.
Seeing this, Gawain turned to Mr. Rayleigh and smiled narrowly.
"Mr. Lei Li, you seem to have the strength to deal with those little guys who need guidance today?"
"Ahem, what did you say!"
Hearing Gawain's words, Rayleigh coughed twice, then patted his leg.
"Although I and Xia Qi... have been having some mischief recently.
But no matter what, I usually don’t have the energy to educate the younger ones!
Since you no longer need my guidance, you have become more and more fond of teasing me.
Hey, unfilial disciple, my heart is... sad."
"Master, don't be funny, it's just a joke, haha."
Gawain couldn't help but laugh twice.
Just as Gawain chuckled, Rayleigh suddenly gave Gawain a look.
"Speaking of which, Captain, didn't you attach great importance to this world conference before?
Even when we encountered Shiji's incident, we deliberately left Rogge Town some time in advance. In order to rush for time along the way, we didn't even catch up with the friends we met along the way.
But now, the World Conference has been convened, and the kings of fifty countries have also arrived.
If that's the case, why don't you do anything?
In my opinion, you should definitely attend this meeting!"
"Is it?"
After listening to Rayleigh's words, Gawain smiled and asked a question.
"The old man has thought too far, so it's not like he didn't.
After all, old man, please don’t forget that what I am going to do next is closely related to the kings.
But, what I want to do is only related to the kings in the Grand Line, right!"
After the words fell, Gao Wenruo raised his head thoughtfully and looked towards the sky.
While looking at the clouds in the sky, Gawain continued.
"So, I don't want to get involved in the quarrels between the kings. All they can talk about is the feud between their respective countries, or their next mutual trade and tariffs.
After they have finished talking, have enjoyed their conversation, and the meeting is over, that's when I really want to do the work.
At that time, I will keep all the kings within the Grand Line to communicate with each other!"
I drank alcohol yesterday and my hangover got better this afternoon.
Hey, as I get older, I can no longer handle drinking.
