Chapter 992 Edward Newgate (16)
Ida Port.
The night is as dark as ink.
The Whitebeard Pirates welcomed a strange guest at the banquet.
The strength of Kozuki Oden made Edward Newgate alert, which reminded him of the members of the Rocks Pirates -
They are all very powerful, so powerful that they will never be inferior to others.
In addition, Kozuki Oden is the daimyo of Kuri and may become the administrator of Kuri in the future. Such an identity...
After much consideration, Edward Newgate rejected Kozuki Oden's application to board the ship.
Even though Kozuki Oden came here every day, Edward Newgate remained unmoved and secretly set sail at night after the ship was repaired.
Everything happened just as in the plot, Kozuki Oden finally caught up.
Kozuki Oden gave up on the third day of the test and saved Amatsuki Toki who traveled from more than 830 years ago.
This actually made Edward Newgate have a good impression of him, and he agreed to let Kozuki Oden on board and treat him as a brother.
Anna stood beside Yun Ci with her hands down, wondering, "Doesn't that mean he is a generation older than the adults on our ship?"
"That's not the case on board, Anna."
Kozuki Oden changed his wet clothes with a smile, greeted Edward Newgate, and called Yun Ci "sister-in-law".
The Moby Dick suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Kozuki Oden with admiration in their eyes.
Kozuki Oden, who still didn't understand what was going on: "?"
Toki is more sensitive than Kozuki Oden, and the relationship between the two does not seem to be enough to call her "sister-in-law".
The crew members turned their eyes to Yun Ci again, somewhat curious about how she would respond.
Yun Ci looked at Edward Newgate, who was looking at her as well.
The two men's eyes met, Edward Newgate smiled gleefully, and then began to invite them to drink.
He didn't talk about these things with Yun Ci in this situation.
The crew members were sensible enough not to ask any more questions and celebrated the joining of Kozuki Oden and Toki with great enthusiasm.
Anna held the wine bottle and filled Yunci's empty glass.
The clear white wine had a rich aroma, and Anna also poured a glass for Tian Yueshi who was next to Yun Ci.
"This is one of the specialties of the Elf Island. It's not too strong and is very suitable for girls to drink."
Tian Yueshi thanked him, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up.
"Delicious."
"Right, this is the wine recipe that the young lady researched. There are others, but we have almost finished drinking it. Next time when we return to the Elf Island for supplies, you can have a good taste..."
As long as she praises Yun Ci, Anna can become very talkative.
Yun Ci smiled awkwardly at the confused Tian Yueshi: "Anna is just like that, don't mind it."
Tian Yueshi shook his head: "No, Miss Anna is very cute."
The three girls sat together and chatted, not at all disturbed by the noise around them.
The huge ship had no direction and was moving aimlessly with the wind.
When everything calmed down, Edward Newgate took a blanket and draped it over Yunci's shoulders.
"The wind is cold."
Yun Ci gathered the blanket and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
"I thought you would wait for me here." Edward Newgate sat cross-legged on the deck, closing the distance between him and Yun Ci.
"Before, Oden..."
"You mean the thing about him calling me sister-in-law? I didn't take it seriously."
"No, I hope you take it to heart," Edward Newgate said seriously, "if you want to..."
Yun Ci looked at Edward Newgate in surprise: "What?"
"I want to change my relationship with you."
"Not a family anymore?"
"No, it's to give our family relationship a clear definition." Edward Newgate always felt awkward saying he liked someone, and it was hard to express his love for them, so he finally just said, "It's a closer relationship of lovers."
"So, Newgate, you actually like me?" Yun Ci looked at Edward Newgate with evil interest, "The kind of love that wants to become a husband and wife?"
Edward Newgate had known Yun Ci for many years and thought he understood her, for example, the fact that she wanted to tease people from time to time.
Seeing Yun Ci's intention, Edward Newgate was no longer awkward and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I like it."
In the background was the snoring of drunkards.
Edward Newgate spoke his mind.
And told Yunci why he had not explained it until now - although he had not intended to say that at first.
"——But I'm afraid you misunderstood." Edward Newgate said bluntly, "I changed the subject at that time, not because I didn't like it or didn't want them to call you that."
He didn't want to put Yun Ci in a difficult position.
"So, you've always liked me for so many years, but just because we're 10 years apart in age, you've never wanted to say it out loud?" Yun Ci laughed out loud, "So, Newgate, you're the type who's fine with seeing the person you like with someone else?"
--How can it be?
Edward Newgate smiled but said nothing.
Hasn’t Yun Ci been on his ship all this time?
And he had never hidden his special feelings for Yun Ci in front of his "son".
A 'son' who knows his feelings will definitely not have any thoughts about his 'elder'.
As for the people outside... after hearing his name "White Beard", who would dare to compete with him?
Yun Ci didn't know what Edward Newgate was thinking, she just agreed when Edward Newgate asked her to think about it.
"I will seriously consider it."
Edward Newgate nodded as usual, and no one knew how nervous he was inside.
The night is getting darker.
Yun Ci also went back to rest.
Edward Newgate sat on the deck for a long, long time before he slowly moved back to his sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had not slept well, so that his complexion did not look very good the next day.
Yun Ci was slow to remember that Edward Newgate's Tremor-Tremor Fruit would have an impact on himself.
[This shouldn't be the case. We fed him so many good things, how could there be any effects? ]
"The internal organs are very fragile."
No matter how strong a person is, if his internal organs are impacted, he will still feel pain.
Unless he polishes every inch of his body into a hard one - but this world can't do that.
The setting of this world is "Devil Fruit", but even if there is such a fruit, Edward Newgate, who has already eaten a Tremor-Tremor Fruit, cannot eat a second one.
A person can only eat one devil fruit, this is also the rule.
If Yun Ci wants to eat the second one, she currently knows about a Dark-Dark Fruit. One of the abilities of this fruit is that it allows a person to have a second special ability.
However, Yun Ci didn’t know where the Dark-Dark Fruit was now, and Tiandao wouldn’t tell her either.
[What should I do then? Won't he get sick again? ]
"That won't happen. If you keep eating good things, you can recover from injuries. You just have to keep going through the pain of being injured, recovering, being injured, and recovering..."
