#51 - Chapter 51 Daily life at home
Shanks woke up and immediately felt the sunlight shining on his bed through the curtains. He was now accustomed to getting up early to exercise, so after washing up, he quickly went out.
In the morning light, he saw someone already engaged in rigorous running training, with fine beads of sweat on their forehead.
“Ginny is still so hardworking,” he murmured with admiration.
As Shanks was marveling, he felt the ground beneath his feet trembling. Kuma was running past the training field, carrying a huge rock. The rock seemed insignificant on his shoulders, as if it were an easy task for him.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Shanks' forehead. Kuma put too much pressure on him. Even though they started training at the same time, he always felt that his strength was getting further and further away from his two older siblings.
“Good morning, Ginny,” Shanks said as he walked towards Ginny, flashing a big smile.
“It's not early anymore,” Ginny stopped and wiped the sweat from her face. “You're always getting up with the sun shining on your butt.”
“I'm still growing, so I need to get enough sleep,” Shanks said, tugging at Ginny's sleeve.
Ginny gently tapped Shanks' nose. “Always the same excuse, you...”
“Even though I get up late, I always finish what I need to do today,” Shanks said proudly, puffing out his chest.
“Okay, okay, we know our little Shanks is the best,” Ginny praised.
Just as Shanks was enjoying Ginny's praise, Jinan came out of the kitchen with a spatula, looked at the warm scene in front of him, and said with a smile, “Ginny, Shanks, go call Kuma, breakfast is ready.”
“Okay, big brother,” Shanks ran off happily. “Ginny, you go in first, I'll go call Kuma.”
Ginny shook her head and smiled as she watched Shanks walk away. “Jinan, what delicious food did you prepare for us this morning?”
She walked into the kitchen and took the initiative to set the table.
“I made noodles, we're having oil-splashed noodles this morning,” Jinan replied, busy with his hands.
Ginny sat quietly in her seat, her eyes shining as she watched Jinan cook.
As expected... Jinan is the most handsome when he's focused!
“......”
Before long, Shanks and Kuma also returned, and the four of them sat around the table, enjoying the delicious breakfast.
“Kuma, I really envy your ability, you can go wherever you want,” Jinan said, peeling a clove of garlic and putting it in his mouth.
Traveling back and forth to Sabaody Archipelago all depended on Kuma's ability.
Jinan only had one thought in his mind, this ability was too perverted.
Kuma smiled憨厚, “Haha, my ability is your ability, just ask me if you want to go anywhere.”
“Kuma is the best, we're going to travel around the world in the future!” Ginny swallowed the noodles in her mouth with satisfaction and lay back in her chair, patting her stomach.
“Big brother, is Sabaody Archipelago fun?” Shanks asked curiously.
He also wanted to go everywhere with his big brother, but every time he was ruthlessly rejected by his big brother because of his age.
“It's okay, the scenery is different from here, but other aspects are not as good as here,” Jinan replied after thinking for a while. “And it's very chaotic there, it's best for children not to go there.”
Doflamingo: Then what am I?
Shanks glanced at his big brother and suddenly laughed, “Big brother, I've noticed that wherever you go, big events happen.”
Looking at Shanks laughing so hard, Jinan also laughed. He found that it seemed to be true, and many of those things were caused by him.
He shook his head and replied, “Bad luck, I'm unlucky wherever I go.”
“Did you see what the Celestial Dragons look like? I heard you can see Celestial Dragons there...” Shanks asked innocently.
Hearing this question, the kitchen suddenly became quiet. Ginny and Kuma both lowered their heads, recalling sad memories.
Jinan also saw Ginny and Kuma's concerns and sighed inwardly. The Celestial Dragons had too much of an impact on them. After so long, they still had such a big impact on them...
“I didn't see them, I just heard they look like pigs, fat and bloated, and can't even walk on their own,” Jinan said.
“Jinan, you haven't told us about your experience after going out this time,” Kuma asked suspiciously. “When I picked you up, I seemed to hear the Navy chasing Shiki's Flying Pirates.”
“Did something happen there?”
Ginny also perked up instantly when she heard Kuma's question, and both ears pricked up.
“Nothing big, I just heard that the Celestial Dragon was killed, and the Navy is hunting down the murderer,” Jinan replied, stroking his chin.
He was also very curious about the situation between Sengoku and Shiki now. With their strength, they should be fighting fiercely, but unfortunately he was in a hurry to come back and didn't see the result...
“What! The Celestial Dragon is dead!?”
Unlike Jinan's calmness, Kuma and Ginny jumped up from their seats when they heard the news.
Shanks was startled by them and jumped up as well, looking at the two of them in a daze, muttering, “The Celestial Dragon is dead, is it necessary to react so much?”
Jinan took a sip of tea, very satisfied with the two people's reaction. That was the effect he wanted.
To break their inherent idea that the Celestial Dragons are untouchable, let them know that the Celestial Dragons are also people and can be killed.
Then let them gradually get out of the psychological shadow caused by the Celestial Dragons.
“Celestial Dragon... Celestial Dragon...” Kuma repeated these three words with tears in his eyes.
Shanks looked at Kuma who suddenly started crying, immediately leaned over, wanted to comfort him, but didn't know where to start, so he could only grab Kuma's clothes with his small hands.
Looking at the ignorant Shanks, Ginny's inner grief was reduced a lot. Her inner pain was no less than Kuma's.
It's just that she's used to using a smile to hide her inner pain.
“Flapping flapping...”
The sound of birds flapping their wings came from outside the door.
“Today's newspaper is here, I'll go get it,” Jinan said, looking at the depressed people, left his seat, and walked towards the door.
The news bird is specially used to deliver newspapers. The big events in this world need to be understood through this newspaper, and the price is still affordable.
“Give me a newspaper,” Jinan handed over 100 Berries.
The news bird pointed to the small backpack on its chest with its wings and squawked twice.
“Hey, today's service attitude is so bad, be careful I go and complain about you,” Jinan took out a newspaper from the small bag, and returned directly after holding it in his hand.
“How is it? Feeling better?”
Jinan unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and the headline of the news directly came into the eyes of the four people.
