More than a year ago, when Adrian was harvesting experience from players in the East Blue, he had already memorized the entire map of the East Blue thoroughly.
Of course, he didn't hope that the future revolutionary or pirate to fall into some kind of accident. Why was that even a thought?
Aside that, he was naturally familiar with the location of the Goa Kingdom.
Leaving Isshin Dojo and relying on the flight speed of his ghostly body, he soon arrived at the Goa Kingdom.
After some effort, Adrian finally found the legendary town of the East Blue.
In terms of significance, it even surpassed Loguetown!
This seemingly ordinary small village, which has produced three generations of the Monkey family—Garp, Dragon, and Luffy—is far more terrifying than anyone can imagine!
Moreover, this unremarkable Windmill Village will, in the future, produce the bandit king who 'Steps on the Pirate King candidate and smashes the one of the Four Emperor with a wine bottle.'
Kowaii ne~
Without disturbing the ordinary villagers of Windmill Village, Adrian activated his Observation Haki and very easily found the 'Mountain Bandit Dadan's' group hiding in the back mountains of the village.
At the same time, he also sensed a powerful aura, like a volcanic eruption!
"I really don't know what to say…"
Adrian showed a pained expression.
{WTF is it now? Are you hinting that bullet and dadan married?}
"This guy actually found his way to the East Blue... Douglas Bullet!"
{Didn't you give him all the information?}
Hiding his presence, Adrian quickly approached the small hill and saw the massive figure, larger than the surrounding houses—Devil's Heir!
At this moment, Bullet was still dressed in his black military uniform.
But on his right hand, which had a spotless white glove, he carefully held a newborn baby in swaddling clothes.
A group of scrawny bandits stood trembling beside Bullet like chicks.
At the forefront was the twisted-faced Curly Dadan.
Dadan felt that recently it was as if all the sins from past lives had accumulated and came to punish her.
First, she was left with a baby by that old geezer Garp, forced to switch jobs from being a bandit to nanny.
Now, she was found by this guy who looked fiercer than the devil.
His mere presence made her unable to move.
It was like 'Harsh winds from the winding snow capped mountain found it's way to peaceful sunny island.'
Dadan gave a fierce look to one of her trusted subordinates, urging him to step forward and ask.
The bandit grimaced and stepped forward stiffly, raising his trembling right hand and stammering.
"This… great king—"
"Hmm?"
Bullet merely lifted his eyelids, and the emotionless gaze made the bandit faint.
Whether he fainted from fear or deliberately, it was hard to say.
An annoyed Dadan glared fiercely at the useless subordinate, then took a deep breath and stepped forward herself.
"This... big brother..."
Bullet glanced at her.
All of Dadan's accumulated resentment and anger vanished instantly, replaced by a flattering smile.
"This great king, what would you like for lunch? We have grilled fish, grilled meat, grilled—"
Bullet bluntly interrupted Dadan, "This baby… was left by Garp?"
Garp again!
Dadan's expression froze, her mouth twitching wildly.
"Yes, yes, great king!" Dadan said with a forced smile, "Seeing how big you are, you must be a powerful bandit ruling over several mountains…"
"If you want to find trouble with Garp, go ahead. We don't like that old geezer either."
"But…"
Dadan's gaze lingered on the black-haired baby in Bullet's hand for a moment before she gathered her courage and said.
"But this has nothing to do with the child. Could you please hand him over to me?"
Bullet was silent for a moment.
He extended his left hand, his large fingers trying unsuccessfully to grasp the baby's head properly, and had to use his entire right hand.
Dadan sighed in relief, quickly stepping forward to take the child, named 'Ace,' into her arms.
"This…"
"His name is Bullet," an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, of course, the voice was tinged with laughter, "Or perhaps you could call him Devil Dad!"
Hearing this voice, Bullet's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming aura burst from him, blowing the bandits away.
Only the astonishingly resilient Curly Dadan managed to protect the baby in her arms despite the pressure.
Adrian's figure appeared behind Dadan, facing Bullet and shielding her from the pressure she couldn't withstand.
"Hey, Bullet, did you forget there's a child here?"
Bullet's pupils contracted slightly, and he withdrew his aura, unable to resist retorting, "This child isn't as weak as you think! He is—"
"But he's also not as strong as you think!" Adrian interrupted Bullet, "Don't forget, he's Garp's grandson now!"
The rest of the bandits didn't understand the what Adrian's words meant.
But Bullet understood what White Ghost meant, that Roger's child shouldn't be exposed.
The legendary Devil's Heir snorted, "Hmph! Weak thoughts!"
Adrian raised an eyebrow, sarcastically asking, "Then Bullet, what brings you here? What are your thoughts?"
Bullet responded coldly, "That's none of your concern, White Ghost!"
Oh, getting feisty now!
If you didn't care about Roger's child, why are you here in Windmill Village?
Perhaps wary of White Ghost's sudden appearance, Bullet reached out towards Dadan.
"Female bandit, hand over the child! I'm taking him away!"
Adrian stepped aside, confident that Bullet wouldn't harm Ace, curious to see what Bullet would do.
Faced with the massive hand, nearly half her size, Dadan couldn't effectively resist while holding Ace.
To avoid hurting the baby with her rough actions, Dadan had no choice but to hand Ace back to Bullet.
At that moment, as if sensing the loss of warmth, baby Ace woke up from his sleep and started crying loudly, even wetting Bullet's clean glove.
Adrian almost laughed out loud.
You never disappoint, Ace.
What a fiery temper!
