The True Path of Pirates

Chapter 480 Bondage and Freedom



The sun gradually rises until half way through the day.And when it’s time to eat, the filling food and a short rest always make people feel leisurely and satisfied.

It's just that in the luxurious restaurant of the Jonathan family, "Mr." Jonathan Benjamin, dressed in costume, is now as cramped as a panicked guest.

His hands kept rubbing the buttons of his coat, as if he was trying to get rid of the jewel-made buttons.The shoulders also twisted from time to time, as if the clothes made by the tailor overnight did not fit at all.

After thinking about it this night, our "Mr. Jonathan Benjamin" has completely calmed down. Finally, he no longer thinks about defending himself, but thinks about the possibility of being "tricked"...

"Master, you are here!"

"Well, Lao Sang, thank you for your hard work."

"Haha, I just came back to take a look when I got old and couldn't sit around anymore."

Just when Ben was still struggling, the conversation between the old housekeeper and Fran was like pressing his "switch", making him stand up straight.But when he first saw his father, Jonathan Fran, he lowered his head again and only dared to look at him with his peripheral vision.

But what made him feel lucky but also a little disappointed was that his father Fran didn't seem to see him, and was just chatting with the old housekeeper Sang about their family's problems.

As the two of them talked, the servants placed exquisite dishes on the table one by one.

The food at Jonathan's house is naturally not shabby. There are all kinds of strange, delicious and exquisite pastries and special fruits. Let alone the taste, just looking at them is a pleasure.

"Gollum..."

After these years of experience, Xiao Ben's intestines and stomach have been completely transformed by the big pot rice in the navy canteen and Yixin Gym, but these delicacies still aroused his stomach's yearning for beauty, and his appetite also whirled.

"If a leaf falls and returns to its roots, maybe this is your 'root'... Why don't you bring your family over? This place is also very empty."

"Hey...it's hard for them to get used to it. Let's talk to them when we go home this time..."

Fran and Sang seemed to have endless things to talk about. Even after the dishes were served, neither of them sat down at the table, just chatting there.Little Benjamin was naturally hanging there, helpless and pitiful.

It wasn't until Baron, the tall swordsman who had been guarding little Benjamin, came to the restaurant that the two stopped communicating at the same time.The surrounding attendants also consciously led the servants out and guarded the entire restaurant.

"Master, the guests are here."

"Okay, please invite the guests over."

"Yes!"

Baron left the restaurant cautiously, probably to greet the mysterious guest.Little Benjamin's attention also shifted from the food, and he couldn't help but guess the origin of the guest.

Soon, Balon returned here again, and there was a mysterious man in gray robe in front of him.

Although the mysterious man's face and figure were obscured by his gray robe, little Benjamin felt a vaguely familiar feeling.

It wasn't until the man in gray robe came to the dining table and had close contact with him that little Benjamin recognized his identity and shouted out in surprise.

"Uncle Hasso! Why is it you?"

"Hey, long time no see, Xiao Ben."

"Ah! It's been such a long time—"

Seeing Hasso taking off his hood to reveal his true appearance, Ben was so happy that he wanted to jump up and give him a hug.But he soon realized that this was not the deck of the "Benjamin", but Benjamin's home!

Seeing the embarrassed little Benjamin, Butler Sang couldn't help but smile jokingly, but Fran still didn't pay attention to what he meant. He just walked straight to Hasso and stretched out his hand to him.

"Welcome, Mr. Hasso, I'll help you later!"

"I don't have anything to worry about. You are the ones...tsk, tsk, it's not easy..."

Hasso stretched out his hand to shake Fran's hand, and at the same time glanced at Ben playfully, which made Ben feel a little scared in his heart, but he didn't know why.

And this sumptuous lunch was spent in little Benjamin's doubts.Apart from having to restrain my etiquette habits, the process went fairly smoothly.

It was at the end of the meal and everyone began to enjoy tea that Jonathan Fran finally looked at his son!

"Benjamin."

"Yes! Father!"

"Tell me what you think."

"..."

Although Fran didn't say it clearly, little Benjamin also understood what his father wanted him to say.

And he had anticipated these in advance last night and had already sorted out his thoughts, so he stood up directly and admitted his mistake to his father.

"Father, I have realized my mistake!

First of all, I shouldn't have been arrogant and made the mistake of going out to sea alone without informing anyone, only to encounter the World Government's ship.

Also, I was too impulsive and only thought about using force to solve the problem instead of using my brain. As a result, I brought you so much trouble.

I understand all this! "

Little Benjamin bowed deeply to Fran, but in fact, dissatisfaction and grievance still existed in his heart.

Just a few days ago, little Benjamin decided to go to sea alone and return to the Navy Headquarters in order to show his so-called "excellence" in front of the green algae head.

During the preparation process, she was discovered by Kuina, and she had no choice but to board the "pirate ship". The two children, both old and young, went out to sea together.

In the process of "riding on the boat", the two of them got on a boat by accident and witnessed a lot of dirty behavior that they couldn't agree with. This also led to the occurrence of conflicts and... Eventually it evolved into the beginning of a new situation.

……

"Huh... sit down."

"Yes!"

Facing little Benjamin's confession, Fran didn't say anything. He just breathed out softly, then took another sip of tea, and then looked at his son seriously and looked at him.

"childish!"

"..."

Fran's sternness suddenly awakened little Benjamin's memories, but the voice seemed different from what he remembered.

Only then did little Benjamin notice his father. He seemed to have changed a lot in the past few years, and under his stern face was an increasingly tired look.

"It is naive to fail to estimate future risks before taking action; it is naive to misestimate one's own abilities; it is still naive to fail to discover the essence of the problem after making a mistake!"

Fran's voice was still stern, but to Ben's ears, this sternness was not as coercive as in his childhood. Instead, it contained a desire that made him want to listen, and a touch of inexplicable sadness... …

"But fortunately, you showed your immature side, but you didn't even have the chance to show it... This incident not only taught you a lesson, but also sounded the alarm for Jonathan's comfort for so many years... From now on In a sense, both our father and son need a deeper experience!"

Fran's voice became softer and softer, and the eyes that looked at her son were filled with undisguised love and concern.And this also made the sadness in Xiao Ben's heart become more and more obvious, and his nose became uncomfortable along with his eyes.

"So, let go of the shackles of Jonathan's name, be free to grow up, and hone yourself! My son—Benjamin!"
