Chapter 572 Grandpa Jialinsheng
Marijoa, the land of the Figalando tribe,
"Lord Makino, I can only take you here."
Kalifa was wearing a slim-fitting suit, black socks and high heels. She stood outside the Fegalando tribe's territory with a standard posture and spoke respectfully to Makino in front of her.
Makino had obviously dressed up carefully today. She didn't wear the headscarf she usually wore. Her long dark green hair was draped down like a waterfall, and she was wearing a white corset dress with gold embossed waist. Her slim figure didn't look like she had just given birth.
She held Sosia in her arms and said to Khalifa,
"Kalifa, why did you call me Sir again? Aren't we friends?"
Kalifa leaned forward slightly and whispered,
"Lord Makino, this is the Figalando family. We can no longer treat each other like we did in Windmill Village. If I don't respect the hierarchy, I will lose my life!"
Makino nodded in fear when she heard this. She pursed her lips and said nervously,
"I understand, but Kalifa, I'm still a little scared of that Saint Galin..."
Kalifa immediately consoled him.
"Don't be afraid. Saint Galin is actually very... well, very kind. What's more, you gave birth to the bloodline of the Fegalando family. I think Saint Galin will definitely like you."
Makino's nervous mood relaxed a little. She touched the forehead of Sosia in her arms. Sosia narrowed her eyes and giggled.
Hearing her daughter's laughter, a smile appeared on Makino's face. In her opinion, her daughter was encouraging her.
She couldn't help but kiss Sosia on her little face, then took a deep breath and walked towards the clan territory.
However, before she could take a few steps, a burst of hurried but orderly footsteps came closer and closer.
Makino looked up and saw a team of golden-armored guards walking towards her, led by a middle-aged man with a peculiar hairstyle.
At just one glance, Makino knew the identity of the middle-aged man. He was Shanks' father, the former head of the Figalando family, Figalando Galinsheng.
Of course, in Makino, Garin has another identity, that is, her father-in-law.
Even though Garin tried to restrain himself, his awe-inspiring presence still frightened Makino, an ordinary person.
Although Makino has also seen people of the same level as Garp and Shanks, these two people have a carefree personality, in other words, they are very down-to-earth.
But Jialin is different. He grew up in Marijoa and has been an elite celestial dragon who has held a high position for many years. Even in ordinary times, his aura is as heavy as a mountain to ordinary people.
When Garin arrived, his sharp eyes immediately fell on Sosia in Machino's arms. When he saw Sosia's cute and fair little face, he felt like his heart was about to melt.
He walked quickly to Makino, trying to make his voice sound softer.
"You are Makino, right?"
Makino nodded quickly and subconsciously looked at Kalifa not far away, but Kalifa had already knelt down and didn't even dare to raise her head.
At this moment, Makino had completely forgotten the etiquette that Kalifa had taught him before he came. He could only hold Sosia and bend slightly, trying to salute Garin.
Seeing this, Jialin glared and immediately stopped him.
"Don't move, don't squeeze the child!"
As he spoke, Jialin glanced at the golden armored guard behind him and raised his hand.
"Everyone, go down, and be gentle."
Upon hearing the order, the golden-armored guards slowly turned around and retreated silently until they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Makino was speechless when she saw this scene. It was the first time she saw a guard with such quality.
She calmed herself down and said softly to Jialin,
"Master Garin, nice to meet you. I'm Makino, and I'm... Shanks' wife!"
Hearing Makino's last words, Garin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he nodded, and slowly said,
"Well, I already know. The child in your arms is called Sosia, Figalando Sosia."
Machino nodded vigorously, and Garin could no longer hold back. This was the bloodline of his Figalando family!
Garin stretched out his arms and spoke as gently as possible, fearing that he would scare Sosia in Makino's arms.
"Let me hold her for a moment."
The man in front of her was Sosia's grandfather, so Makino naturally wouldn't refuse. However, before handing Sosia to Garin, she first hooked Sosia's white and tender nose with her finger and whispered,
"Little Sosia, can you give grandpa a hug?"
How could Sosia at this age understand what Makino meant? She just giggled, and that childish laughter made Garin feel itchy.
Machino also laughed, and then carefully put Sosia into Garin's arms.
As soon as the sweet and soft Sosia entered his arms, Jialin's straight body couldn't help but tremble, but he really lacked experience in taking care of babies. In his eyes, the baby in his arms was like a piece of exquisite porcelain. He was afraid that he would hurt Sosia by accident, so he froze in place for a while.
Sosia did not cry when she left her mother's arms. She looked up at Garin with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The big and the small stared at each other. The scene looked very warm, but also a little funny, especially when Jialin suddenly said,
"Hello, little one."
After hearing this, Makino couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
The corner of Jialin's mouth twitched, and he realized that what he had just said was a bit silly. He looked up at Makino, who quickly stopped smiling, bowed and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Lord Galin, I'm being rude."
Jialin didn't care, he just said seriously,
"You don't have to call me sir. You are Shanks' wife, don't you know what to call me?"
Makino was stunned. Of course she knew it, but in her opinion, it would be very offensive to address Garin like that when she met him for the first time. She had not yet obtained Garin's approval.
But deep down, Makino had no objection to being called that. As her parents had passed away many years ago, she even longed for it.
Garin frowned slightly when he didn't get a response. He didn't mean to blame Makino, so he asked,
"What's wrong? Did Shanks say something to you? He...doesn't acknowledge me as his father?"
