The morning light shines through the windows of Naval Headquarters Roy’s residence onto the stone bricks of the corridor, casting mottled shadows.

Roy took Luo Gang to the door, paused slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Hmm?” Luo raised his head in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, Roy pushed the door open.

“Sneak attack!!”

Almost at the moment the door was pushed open, two dark shadows suddenly jumped out from behind the door!

Ace’s hands were wrapped in a faint Armament Haki, with an eager smile on his face;

Luffy kicked into the air and shouted “Rocket Kick!”, and the two of them pounced on Roy from the left and right!

Luo’s pupils shrank, and he took a half step back reflexively, but –

“Bang! Bang!”

Two crisp knocking sounds exploded in the air, as clear and loud as beating a drum.

The next second, a big bump appeared on Ace and Luffy’s head. They both squatted on the ground, holding their heads and grimacing in pain.

“A sneak attack?”

Roy retracted his fist and looked at the two men with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery: “With just this little ability, you dare to sneak attack me?”

“Damn it! We’ve been discovered again!”

Ace pouted and held his head in dissatisfaction, “I will definitely succeed next time!”

“It hurts so much! Roy’s fist hurts more than grandpa’s!” Luffy yelled with tears in his eyes, his mouth flattened into a line.

Just then, the kitchen door was pushed open and the aroma of stew overflowed.

Bellmair was carrying a pot of steaming food with a gentle smile on his face: “Hey, Roy is back?”

“Brother Roy!” Nami and Nojiko also poked their heads out from behind her, their eyes sparkling, and shouted in unison, their faces full of anticipation.

Roy smiled and nodded at them: “I’m back.”

Ace pouted, his tone a bit complaining: “Who told you to go out without a sound for several days! I thought you were sent on some dangerous mission again!”

Luffy held the bulging bag with both hands and nodded repeatedly: “Yes! Yes!”

Roy smiled helplessly and rubbed Ace’s head with his hand: “Okay, since you are so free, I will let Teacher Zefa give you extra training in the afternoon until you are satisfied.”

“Practice more if you want! I’m not afraid!” Ace shouted stubbornly, but his eyes were obviously a little vague.

Luffy nodded repeatedly: “Yeah! Yeah!”

At this time, Ace finally noticed the white-haired boy standing behind Roy, who was looking at them indifferently, and frowned: “Hey, why is there another little devil?!”

Luo’s expression was indifferent. He just glanced at him briefly without saying a word.

Roy chuckled and put his hand on Luo’s head: “He is not a little kid, he is four years older than you.”

Ace was stunned: “Four years older than me? Is that true?”

Roy smiled slightly and added calmly: “Let me introduce you. This is the grandson of Marshal Zhan Guo, Trafalgar Law. He will live with us and train with us from now on.”

“What?!!!”

Ace and Luffy’s eyes widened at the same time, and their jaws almost hit the ground.

“The grandson of Marshal Zhan Guo?!” Ace was dumbfounded, pointing at Luo and stammering, “The grandson of that old man with a goatee?!”

Luo’s mouth twitched, and he said coldly: “…Are you polite?”

Luffy came up excitedly, his eyes sparkling: “Wow! Are you strong too?!”

Luo raised an eyebrow and replied calmly: “Better than you.”

“Hey! You guy!!” Ace instantly got furious and was about to pounce on him, but Roy grabbed his head.

“Alright, alright, stop messing around.”

At this moment, Bellmère couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head: “Let’s eat first, or the food will get cold if we keep arguing!”

“Well, it’s time to eat!”

Nami and Nojiko hurried to help set the table with happy smiles on their faces.

Roy looked at the group of lively kids with a warm smile in his eyes, and rubbed Ace’s head again: “Okay, stop making trouble, Luo will be our new family from now on.”

Ace curled his lips, and although he looked reluctant, he finally said in a muffled voice: “…Humph, I will become stronger than him anyway!”

Luo glanced at Ace indifferently, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, which was a confident smile for the future.

“Family…”

He repeated the word softly in his heart, and his eyes softened a little.

Suddenly, Roy looked up at the sky, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

“By the way, I haven’t been back to see my parents for a long time… I need to find some time to bring these kids back for a stroll.”

On the dining table, the feast that Bellmère had carefully prepared almost covered the entire table.

A whole suckling pig roasted to golden and crispy exudes a strong meaty aroma, the stewed beef piled up into a small hill has a shiny greasy sheen, the sizzling fried fish fillets are neatly arranged, the meatballs covered in sauce are shining with an attractive luster, and there are a variety of side dishes and breads, the aromas intertwined together make people’s appetites whet.

Luo stood at the dining table, eyes slightly widened, obviously not expecting the “battlefield” in front of him.

“…Seven people, do we need to eat so much?”

He subconsciously looked at Roy, with a hint of hesitation and embarrassment in his eyes.

Roy seemed to see through his thoughts and rubbed his head with a smile: “Eat with confidence, there are not so many rules here. Eat as much as you can, no one will laugh at you.”

Nojiko and Nami were setting the tableware neatly. Nami even winked at Luo slyly: “Don’t get scared later~”

Luo: “……?”

As soon as the words fell, the answer was revealed.

“Let’s eat!!!”

Following Roy’s order, Ace and Luffy rushed down the mountain like tigers, and the two afterimages pounced on the dining table!

“This piece of meat is mine!”

Ace used both hands and stuffed the whole chicken leg into his mouth in almost an instant, while using his other hand to transfer the meat from the plate into his bowl.

“Meat, meat, meat, meat!!!”

Luffy simply pulled the whole plate of roast pork in front of him, opened his mouth wide and took a bite. His cheeks bulged like a hamster and his mouth was full of oil.

“You two, don’t clear the table in one go!”

Although Roy’s movements were much more graceful, the food on the plate was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye as the knife and fork flew, like an afterimage.

Luo: “…”

The cold-blooded boy’s expression completely collapsed, and his jaw almost hit the dining table.

Is this still the speed at which humans eat? !

Bellmère couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw this, and patted Luo on the shoulder: “Shocked, right? I was almost the same as you when I first saw it.”

She picked up a large piece of roast beef and put it on Luo’s plate, smiling gently: “Eat it while it’s hot, otherwise it will all go into the stomachs of those two guys if you’re late.”

Luo lowered his head blankly, looking at the steaming piece of roast beef on the plate, then looked up at the almost empty plate on the table. Finally, he stiffly picked up the fork and took a careful bite.

“……tasty.”

At that moment, his eyes lit up slightly, as if a layer of frost was quietly melting.

Nami came over with a smile and said with squinting eyes, “How is it? Bell-mère’s cooking skills are even better than the chef in the Navy cafeteria!”

Nojigao also smiled and handed him a glass of juice: “Don’t just eat meat, drink some juice to moisten your throat.”

Luo nodded, his movements were a little stiff, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

On the other side of the table, Ace and Luffy were fighting over the last meatball. One of them was holding a fork, and the other was shouting “That’s mine!”. Both of them had several fist marks on their heads.

Roy calmly drank his soup, occasionally reaching out to knock on their heads: “Don’t fight while eating.”

“Oh my, it’s so lively…”

Bellmère looked at this scene with a gentle smile in his eyes, as if he saw the warmth of home.

Luo lowered his head and ate the food on the plate quietly.

I could hear the quarreling of Ace and Luffy, Nami’s teasing, Bell-mère’s gentle laughter, and Roy’s helpless but tolerant scolding.

Is this what family feels like?

He raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over everyone at the table, and a warmth that he had never felt before flashed in his eyes.

Finally, those eyes rested on Roy.

“…seems pretty good.”

He murmured something in a low voice, then quickly lowered his head and stuffed the beef he had just picked up into his mouth, as if he didn’t want anyone to see the slightly softening smile.

The sea breeze blew gently through the window, blowing this warm scene and also blowing away the haze in his heart.

The taste of this meal seems sweeter than any other meal.
