"Hey, Adri, what's wrong with you?"

"That is to say, why did you suddenly resign? Don't you know that you are in your prime years now?!"

"You have a bright future now, why did it suddenly happen?"

"That is to say, Major General Adri, why are you doing this?"

Everyone was trying to persuade him, even the marshal was trying to persuade him. He was originally very optimistic about this young man, but he didn't expect that he would resign from him today. This happened suddenly, and he was caught off guard.

Garp was eating senbei on the side without saying anything.

The crane watched quietly from the side.

The Warring States Period also followed the Marshal's advice.

Many generals learned about it and gathered together to persuade them, one by one.

Some of them were on good terms with Adri, and some were very optimistic about the major general. They all couldn't believe that Adri actually dared to resign at this juncture.

Everyone was in disbelief, but no matter how they tried to persuade him, Adri's attitude was firm, but the reasons Adri gave were also surprising.

Adri said:

The mother of the family passed away, and he wanted to go back to truly inherit the family property and become the head of the family. The family had a huge property that needed Adri to manage.

Garp and others have all seen the wealth of Adri's family, so they naturally know how huge the wealth is. What's more, Adri's mother passed away and needed to go back to arrange the funeral.

Thinking of this, Warring States was relieved. He knew that he could not persuade Adri. Sometimes the justice of the navy also had preconditions.

The marshal obviously didn't know that Adri's so-called wealth was as important as his naval career, but in fact, the wealth Adri owned was huge. There were numbered people collecting wealth for him, and the degree of wealth accumulation was unusually high.

Under the joint guidance of Garp and the Warring States Period, they succeeded in making their marshal slightly aware of the wealth of the Adri family. In short, they were as rich as the rest of the country and lived in a castle.

The marshal also found out that he had an heir to a huge fortune infiltrated into his navy.

At first, the marshal didn't think anything of it. He thought that as long as Adri continued to work as a navy with his wealth, but Adri's family property was all in the New World, which was too far away, and the other party was obviously not an ordinary family.

You said, this is equivalent to the heir of a kingdom who wants to go home and inherit the throne without approval.

In the end, Adri had no choice but to resign honorably and retire.

Most of the people from Adri's fleet came to see him off, and Garp Sengoku also watched silently as Adri carried his suitcase.

Adri waved goodbye until the navy headquarters was no longer in sight, and Adri's face returned to calm.

Without any expression on his face, he returned to his room and looked at the scenery outside silently.

Someone came in at this time.

This person came in, knelt down on one knee and said:

"Major General, please take me with you."

Adri raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Why are you here? This is not a wise decision."

"I have made up my mind, Major General Adri."

"I'm no longer a major general, so there's no need to call me that."

"yes."

Adri stood up and looked at the person in front of him carefully:

"are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Only by following you can I achieve my goal. Your strength is hidden. Your true strength should be much higher than everyone else in the navy!"

Adri's eyes began to shine dangerously.

"What evidence do you have?"

"I trust my instincts."

Look at the other person's determined eyes.

Adri smiled. He was actually seen through. Wasn't his usual concealment not enough? No, it didn't look like the other party was gambling.

As for the reason, Adri didn't know, maybe he had some ideas.

"I seem to understand your idea, but why do you think I will agree?"

"My idea is to follow the strong and gain higher strength. My own strength cannot match my dream. I need a lot, and I believe you can accomplish it!"

"Then, here is a list for you."

Adri took out a small folder from his suitcase and handed it to the person in front of him. His name was densely written on it.

"Everyone here can help you in the future."

"Are all the people above yours?"

The other party's voice seemed a little trembling, because he saw the names of many young and cutting-edge people on it, as well as the names of many respected naval officers, and even people he was familiar with.

"Make good use of this network, don't let me down, Sakaski, just stay in the navy and become my helper!"

Adri smiled slightly and looked at the young man in front of him.

Sakaski's face was full of surprise. Before he could recover from it, he held the fold in his trembling hand:

"How can I make sure they help me?"

"Don't worry about this, you will continue to stay in the navy in the name of my adopted son..."

Adri suddenly approached Sakaski, and Sakaski knelt on the ground, facing Adri's gaze.

"Very good, very good, Sakaski, you satisfy me very much."

"Do you agree?"

"Of course, it's just that after I leave the Navy, I will have nothing to do with the Navy. Everything will be contacted by you."

"I see."

Sakaski put away the folder in his hand and said with conviction.

"So, before I leave, can you tell me something?"

Adri sat back in his seat and looked at Sakaski quietly. Sakaski said:

"What is your purpose of keeping me here? Do you want to dominate the entire navy?"

"This is none of your business, kid. You just need to know that I will give you stronger strength."

"I trust you."

Sakaski said seriously.

Adri didn't say anything, but then took out a strange-looking red fruit from the suitcase.

"What is this, you should know, right?"

Sakaski's pupils dilated and he said slowly:

"It's a devil fruit."

"Yes, it's natural. This one belongs to you now."

"You gave me such an important thing?"

"Yes, this is the power I promised you. Cherish it, kid."

In the days that followed, Sakaski received the attention of some radical navies. He was trained and paid attention to from a young age, and even received the attention of high-level officials. Sakaski rose through the ranks with high-quality training and inherited Adri's fleet and connections.

, climb up step by step, all the way to the general.

But he never forgot his identity from beginning to end. He was that person's spy in the navy. How ridiculous that as a naval admiral he was not loyal to the navy.

Although Adri said at the beginning that he would do so in the name of his adopted son, these people seemed to have received the order and never mentioned this matter.

Adri has also provided secret support in the past few years, and even wrote to Sakaski, telling him:

"Your temper needs to be improved. Remember, occasionally raise a potted plant to cultivate yourself."

Sakaski never knew that until now, Adri would contact him once a year, and every time he would talk about family matters. Until one time, after Adri talked about his adoption of a child, Sakaski felt that in his heart

Suddenly it seemed like a piece was missing.

It was not until later, after the war, that Adri visited him again.

Sakaski had heard about Adri's deeds abroad in recent years, but he was still shocked when he saw with his own eyes that his face had not changed at all from that time.

Adelina smiled slightly and sat naturally on his office chair:

"What's wrong, kid, you don't recognize me."

Sakaski steeled himself and said righteously:

"Please leave my office, Ocean King."

"Don't worry, my son, Rosinandi has surrounded the office with a silent barrier. I told you when I came here."

Sakaski didn't know what to do. Even with his current strength, for some reason, his instinct told him that he still couldn't defeat the person in front of him. As a general and the highest combat power of the navy, in

At this moment, after hesitating, he silently walked towards Adri and looked at him, and Adri also silently stared at each other. At this moment, they seemed to be back to the beginning.

But Sakaski is no longer the boy he was before, he is now an upright admiral of the navy.

Adri stood up. Sakaski did not take a step back. He said:

"What exactly do you want to do here?"

"Of course I came to you to fulfill my promise, Sakaski, don't forget our original agreement."

Adri used his strength in an instant and directly forced Sakaski to take a step back. He raised his hand high again, and Sakaski stared at the opponent with wide eyes.

Adri's hand fell on Sakaski's head and took off his hat.

Then he said:

"It seems that the boy back then has grown up and has gray hair."

Adri said this with a little regret and sighed.

Then, he hugged Sakaski, patted him on the back, and said:

"Thank you for your hard work these past few years, Sakaski."

Sakaski was stunned. He didn't expect Adri's behavior at all. At this moment, something seemed to fill his heart again. He felt a sense of suffocation. His hands were in the air, looking a little unaware.

At a loss.

This is a hug.

A warm hug.

Sakaski's bewildered hands hung in the air. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. He felt a warm current. This is what he wanted. Compared to letting the pirates disappear from the world

In fact, he may actually be looking forward to this hug more. He doesn't know why this is the case. Maybe it changed when Adri took him back to the navy. It changed as he and Adri got along day and night.

He didn't know why he questioned Adri in the first place. He just felt inexplicably angry.

At this moment, what should he say? Adri let go of Sakaski and looked at him quietly. At this moment, Sakaski knew that Adri had changed a lot. If, it was what if, he had insisted on following Adri.

Delhi might be different, and maybe I shouldn't have said it was for my own dream.

If he had had a choice, maybe he would have grown up next to Adri and truly become his adopted son. How could this have happened if it weren't for this so-called obstacle to his dream!

At this moment, he hated himself so much for why he didn't tell the truth back then. In fact, all he wanted to do was just stay by Adri's side!

Adri looked at Sakaski:

"Well, Sakaski, let's get down to business."

"Yes, Mr. Adri."

Sakaski spoke in the same tone as before.

"I may be going to war with the World Government, and I need you to stand behind me when it really starts."

"Okay, okay."

Sakaski looked unusually calm, and he said calmly:

"Can I ask the reason?"

"Of course. For the sake of my son, you should know one of them."

"That's right......"

Sakaski felt an inexplicable loss. At this moment, he was a little jealous of Adri's son. He would not hesitate to cooperate with the World Government.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Adri."

"Actually, you don't have to call me that. You watched me grow up."

"No, that's good. I was the one who said the stupid thing about being loyal to you."

"Then, does the stupid thing you said back then still count?"

"Of course... it counts."

Sakaski has grown up and is no longer the child he was back then. He is beginning to feel a little confused. What he was not doing at the beginning and what he is doing now, Sakaski does not know. What he calls

His justice is also wavering at this moment.

He really got it right.

He gained power, but his dream still didn't come true.

"Your goal now is to prepare to become a marshal."

"I know."

Sakaski found a place to sit down. At this moment, he regained his composure and became the calm and composed General Akainu again.

Sakaski knows that he is no longer the child he was before, but now he has no chance of winning. This is his intuition when facing Adri.

Adri just left.

Sakaski watched him walk out the door.

Before that, he knew how excited Adri would be in his heart.

He returned to his desk and took out a dagger from a drawer. It was the same dagger from back then. He had always kept it. Maybe he had completed his inner thoughts before.

It's just that he doesn't know.

Adri is the navy who saved him, the benefactor who gave him a new life, the commander who helped him avenge himself, and the one who makes breakfast for him every morning......

..

Sakaski understood that until just now, Adri still regarded him as the child he was before.

But it's a pity that the child is gone. He was drowned in the crowd of the navy and seemed a little breathless. But he earned it and got the hug he had dreamed of when he was a child.

The annual contact is the time that Sakaski looks forward to the most, and Adri anonymously sends him a birthday gift every year on his birthday.

Sakaski knows all this.

He lowered his hat. In his opinion, perhaps, at this moment, he could return to his former self.

He misses the old days a little bit.

He was also thankful that he had sneaked onto the departing ship where Adri was.

At least, Mr. Adri cares about him. The old gentleman is getting older. Although time has not left anything on his appearance, his heart has really changed.

The child adopted by Mr. Adri is really lucky.

He was a little jealous.
