Chapter 230 You Are My Gift From God
Hearing Long call himself his father for the first time made Xiaoluo feel a strange feeling in his heart.
That man, who usually seemed dignified and inarticulate, must have mustered a lot of courage to ask this question.
Xiaoluo's eyes got wet inexplicably, and she answered sincerely: "...I've never been weird."
From the moment she was born, she knew that the leader of the Revolutionary Army was her father. She also understood why Long left her and Luffy, as well as the lack of recognition when they met again.
Because she did the same thing when facing Luffy and Ace.
In some ways, she does resemble her father.
Xiaoluo still remembers that on the night they separated 18 years ago, Long kissed them again and again on their little faces, and his eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
But he has to go.
In the adult world, there are many alternatives.
She had experienced these little falls, so she understood.
However, her answer surprised Long.
After all, even Ivankov blamed him for being too cruel. He could not bear to recognize his biological daughter even after being by his side for seven years.
In fact, during the time when he first reunited with Xiaoluo, Long wanted to ask her many times: "Where is your father?"
"Do you miss your dad?"
"Would you be happy if your father came back?"
"What would you do if I were your father?"
Every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them down. He, a fearless person who was not even afraid of death, was actually afraid of hearing his daughter's answer.
What if her answer is: No, not happy, I don’t want a father like you...
So how should I handle myself?
So I have been holding it in for so many years, although there are many other factors.
When Xiaoluo's words "I've never been weird" came, Long felt even more uncomfortable.
Only if you don't care can you not blame someone.
If that was the case, then he would rather his daughter blamed him for hating him.
Just when he was feeling disappointed, the next sentence immediately changed his mood.
"It makes me happy to know that you are my daddy."
Xiaoluo said from the bottom of his heart.
Little did he know that this short sentence made a man in his 50s almost burst into tears.
What a peerless little cotton-padded jacket, let him meet it.
Long tried hard to suppress his emotions and didn't let himself cry: "You are a gift from God, and I am very happy too."
In fact, men are also very fragile sometimes.
No matter how powerful he is, he still has his weaknesses.
In the past, Xiaoluo would have felt numb after hearing this, but now, her heart suddenly warmed up. Doesn't it feel so good for a girl to be pampered by her father?
Dad would only say such things to girls, right?
It sounds so comforting~
Feel like a cute little princess?Dad was watching over her like a knight.
Under the moonlight, the father and daughter chatted for a long time.
These are all daily routines. How are you doing recently?Did anything interesting happen or anything like that?
As they chatted, Xiaoluo began to talk more and more, which made Long's mouth corners rise unconsciously.
It's not that Xiaoluo is telling jokes, it's just that Long likes to listen to his daughter chattering to him about various things. Just listening to the sound makes him feel that the years are peaceful.
It can make him temporarily forget many troublesome and difficult problems.
After his nerves were relaxed, he immediately thought of a solution.
He quickly picked up a pen and wrote down the inspiration that suddenly appeared.
Xiaoluo listened to the rustling sound of writing on the opposite side and looked up at the moon in the sky. Unexpectedly, her old father was still dealing with official business.
He couldn't bear to disturb him anymore: "Chief, I'm sleepy. You should go to bed early. Don't work too late. Good night."
Before she finished speaking, the "rustling" sound over there suddenly stopped, and Xiaoluo was waiting for the other side to say good night to her.
But the man didn't speak.
"what happened?"
Xiaoluo asked curiously.
Now she is a thoughtful girl, and she realized the problem within a short time.
But I am afraid that I will be too sentimental.
Or Long couldn't help but say: "In private, maybe you can call me another name?"
"........."
She didn't expect that her father, who was always not good at expressing himself, would be so straightforward.
But she had been calling Chief Long, and suddenly changed her name. She felt awkward and uncomfortable, and felt nervous and hot all over.
Seeing Xiaoluo's silence, Long didn't want to force her and thought of taking his time.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a sweet voice came from the other side: "Dad, good night."
Long was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Good night, daughter."
"Come on..."
The sound fell and the caller quickly hung up.
Long looked at the phone receiver, the corner of his mouth never moved.
Dad, he has been waiting for this for 18 years.
I remember that when Xiaoluo was born, he held her in his arms and asked her to call her daddy.
He knew she couldn't speak yet, but he just wanted to listen.
Now it has finally come true.
It feels like the whole world has become beautiful.
Xiaoluo hung up the phone in a hurry and squatted in the snow having fun.
Recalling the scene of calling Long Dad just now, he stuck out his tongue in excitement and embarrassment.
Hee hee, so happy.
This indescribable joy made the father and daughter sleepless for most of the night before slowly falling asleep.
In the next six months, Xiaoluo conducted rigorous training every day.
At four o'clock in the morning, he would be pulled up by Sak and run around the edge of the entire island, and he would also have to cuff the sea rocks to increase the difficulty.
After breakfast, I fought Sack in the morning, usually getting beaten.
In the afternoon, we will conduct training on the development of the Tsunami Fruit. After all, this fruit is very useful in the competition for the position of marshal.
In the evening, she continued to fight with Sack, and she still got beaten.
Xiaoluo doesn't go to bed until 12 o'clock, and Xiaoluo can only sleep for 4 hours a day.
So I persisted day after day.
From heavy snowfall to melting snow, to green buds breaking through the ground and flowers blooming, we slowly enter the scorching sun.
Half a year passed.
With just a wave of his hand, Xiaoluo can make the seawater pierce a mountain instantly, which is powerful and inspiring.
Sark looked at the crushed stone and nodded happily: "Very good, congratulations on your successful departure."
He taught her everything he needed to teach her. The little girl has a very strong learning ability. She can digest it like this in half a year. It can be said that she is gifted.
He also changed her previous wrong cultivation methods. The little girl must have figured it out on her own, and her method was actually very energy-consuming.
Now after the improvement, Xiaoluo can clearly feel that his body is much lighter than before.
She will return to the Navy Headquarters tomorrow, so the master and apprentice caught a lot of game tonight and sat down together to have a big meal as a farewell.
Xiaoluo patted her belly and asked Sak many questions.
For example: "Why didn't you eat the Ten-tailed Fox fruit yourself? With your ability, you would definitely be able to save Ace."
He replied: "The ten-tailed fox chose you."
Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, because Blackbeard also asked the same question. He said that the Dark Fruit chose him.
"Can a fruit really choose the person who suits it?"
"Well, many Devil Fruits are spiritual."
"This is the first time I heard about it. How did grandpa find you after I went into shock?"
"I showed up on my own initiative. When I saw the news that Roger's son was being publicly executed, I hurried away. Unexpectedly, I was a step too late. Everything was over after we arrived at Marineland. So, I wasn't the one who could save him. , do you think this is destiny?"
"I don't know... Sometimes fate is so strange, as if it has its own plan."
“Hey, you’re a little kid but a big kid, have you fully understood this?”
"Hahaha, don't look at me as young. My spiritual age is 40 years old, which means I have lived for most of my life."
"...Go, go, what a mess, little brat."
The master and apprentice spent their last moments together talking and laughing.
Early in the morning of the next day, Xiaoluo set sail and left the island where he had lived for half a year, heading for New Marineland.
Along the way, you can always hear various news about the new Yonko Ace.
That kid has expanded a lot of power during this period of time.
Not only did they take back all the areas once occupied by the BIGMOM pirates, they also took away more than half of BIGMOM's territory.
And many famous pirate groups have joined Ace.
In a short period of time, his bounty increased from 25 billion to 35 billion beli.
It has quickly grown into a giant tree that cannot be shaken by any world government.
