Jack sighed and reached into his pocket, pulling out several articles about himself. They detailed his occupation as a Pirate Hunter, highlighting his numerous successes in capturing pirates with bounties of over 20 million. He handed the articles to the brother, who looked at them in disbelief.
"You're a Pirate Hunter?" the brother asked, a newfound respect in his voice.
Jack nodded, his calm eyes meeting the brother's gaze. "I am. I know how to protect myself and those I care about. I will ensure the safety of the child, and she will be well cared for."
Olvia, the grieving widow, looked uncertain, her deep blue eyes filled with doubt. "How can I be sure you'll keep her safe?" she asked, her voice barely audible.
Jack gestured to his family. "My wife and daughter live in an isolated island that no one can access. They're safe from the dangers of the outside world, and I only take them out when it's absolutely safe. They even have no way of knowing what's happening outside unless I bring back newspapers for them."
Jack explained the power of the bead by attributing it to a Devil Fruit ability. He told them that he had eaten a Devil Fruit that granted him the ability to create a pocket space within his body, and he could even prove it to Olvia.
Olvia's eyes widened in surprise, her curiosity piqued. "Show me," she demanded, her voice firm yet hesitant.
Jack nodded at Olvia's request, seeing the determination in her eyes. "Very well. Follow me," he said, opening a portal to the bead's pocket space. Olvia hesitated for a moment before stepping through the portal, her hand clasping her daughter protectively.
Inside the pocket space, Olvia was greeted by a breathtaking sight – a beautiful, isolated island surrounded by a crystal-clear sea. The sky above was a brilliant azure, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and a lush forest spread out before them, teeming with life.
Olvia's eyes widened in amazement as she took in the beauty of the island. "This... this is incredible," she breathed, her voice filled with awe.
Jack led her to the grand mansion that he had built for his family. The sprawling, opulent building was nestled among the trees, its elegant architecture a testament to the love and devotion he felt for his loved ones.
As they entered the mansion, they were greeted by the warm and welcoming faces of Jack's family. His mother, Liana, his sister Luna, his childhood friend Sophie, and Sophie's mother Isabella all looked up in surprise at the unexpected guests.
"Jack, who have you brought with you?" Liana asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern.
Before Jack could answer, Aria, who had been following closely behind her father, rushed forward to greet the newcomers. "Hi, I'm Aria!" she exclaimed, her forest-green eyes sparkling with excitement. "Who are you?"
Olvia looked down at the exuberant child, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I'm Olvia, and this is my daughter, Robin," she replied, her voice soft and gentle.
Jack quickly explained the situation to his family, telling them about Olvia's desire to leave her daughter behind in pursuit of her husband's dream. His family listened intently, their eyes filled with a mixture of sympathy and concern.
Liana, a kind-hearted and motherly woman, immediately approached Olvia and took her hand. "My dear, you must be going through such a difficult time," she said, her voice filled with empathy. "But leaving your daughter behind is not the answer. We would be more than happy to help care for her, should you decide to stay here with us."
Olvia looked around at the warm and loving faces of Jack's family, her eyes filling with tears. "I... I don't know what to say," she stammered, clearly overwhelmed by their kindness.
Jack guided Olvia through the mansion and the surrounding island, showing her the various wonders that the pocket space had to offer. They explored the forest, where they encountered small, friendly animals, as well as a few predators that Jack had introduced to maintain the ecosystem's balance. Olvia marveled at the vibrant plants and the beauty of their surroundings, her heart beginning to fill with hope and gratitude.
As they walked along the shore, the gentle waves lapping at their feet, Olvia finally spoke. "This place is truly incredible, Jack. I can see why you would want to keep your family safe here."
Jack nodded, his calm eyes meeting hers. "It's the least I can do for them. They mean the world to me, and I would do anything to protect them."
Olvia looked down at her daughter, who was now playing happily with Aria on the beach. "I can see that," she said softly, a hint of sadness in her voice. "I've been so focused on honoring my husband's memory that I've forgotten what's truly important – being there for my daughter."
Jack watched the children playing together, his usually stoic face softening as he gazed at Aria. "It's not too late, Olvia. You still have a chance to be there for Robin, to give her the love and support she needs."
Olvia looked up at Jack, her deep blue eyes filled with determination. "You're right. I can't leave her behind. I want to be the best mother I can be for her. But I cannot stay in Ohara."
Jack offered a solution, the sincerity in his voice evident. "Olvia, you and Robin can live here in my pocket space with us. Whenever I visit a new island, I'll take you out so you can continue your research on history. That way, you can be there for Robin and still fulfill your husband's dream."
The idea caught Olvia off-guard, and she hesitated, looking back at her daughter playing with Aria. After a moment, she turned to Jack, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Jack. That... that would mean the world to us. I accept your offer."
Over the next few days, Olvia gathered her belongings from her home in Ohara, carefully packing her books, research materials, and other essential items. With Jack's help, she moved everything into the pocket space, settling into her new life alongside his family.
As they watched the children play together, Jack asked, "Do you need anything else from Ohara before we leave?"
Olvia shook her head, a small smile gracing her lips. "No, I have everything I need right here."
With that settled, they returned to the pocket space, where Robin, now in the arms of Liana, was laughing and reaching out to Aria. The two young girls seemed to have formed an instant bond, their friendship a beautiful testament to the connection between their parents.
A few days later, Jack found Olvia sitting on the beach, a book in her lap as she watched Robin and Aria play in the surf. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the scene, and Jack couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment as he approached her.
"Enjoying the view?" he asked, his calm blue eyes meeting hers.
Olvia smiled, her own eyes softening as she looked up at him. "Yes, it's beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family, Jack."
He nodded, taking a seat beside her on the sand. "It was the right thing to do. You and Robin deserve a chance at happiness, and I'm glad we can provide that for you."
The two sat in silence for a moment, watching as Aria and Robin splashed in the water, their laughter echoing through the air. Olvia broke the silence, her voice filled with curiosity. "Jack, why did you become a Pirate Hunter? It seems like such a dangerous profession."
Jack sighed, his gaze distant as he recalled his past. "I've always yearned for fights ever since I was a child. The idea of piracy disgusted me, and the thought of bowing to the World Nobles by becoming a marine was even worse. My decision was made for me when my village was attacked by pirates, and my childhood friend Sophie was kidnapped to be sold."
He paused, clenching his fists as the memory washed over him. "I tracked and killed the pirates to find her. Then I needed money to free Sophie, so I hunted more pirates. It became my purpose – to protect those who couldn't protect themselves and to ensure that no one else would suffer the same fate as Sophie."
Olvia listened intently, her eyes filled with empathy as she took in his story. "You've been through so much," she said softly, reaching out to touch his arm. "And yet you've managed to create this beautiful sanctuary for your family."
Jack's expression softened, and he looked over at his loved ones playing on the beach. "I had to make sure they were safe, especially Aria. I couldn't bear the thought of her being taken away from me like Sophie was."
Olvia nodded, understanding the depth of his love for his family. "You're a good man, Jack. And a wonderful father."
Jack gave her a rare smile, his calm eyes reflecting the warmth of the setting sun. "Thank you, Olvia. I'm just doing what I think is right."
As they continued to watch Aria and Robin play together, Jack knew that he had made the right decision in helping Olvia and her daughter. He was determined to keep his family, and their new additions, safe from the dangers of the world, all while continuing his mission as a Pirate Hunter.
