In the dimly lit basement, a candle in the corner provides a faint light.

Yuni finished eating, dragged her tired body, and fell asleep on the straw mat. And looking at the faint two lines of tears on his mother’s face, Iggy’s hatred could not be quelled for a long time.

Unable to sleep at the moment, Iggy gently picked up the book by the wall and looked at it intently.

Most of these books chronicle the history and geography of the pirate world.

There are even several books in O’Hara’s collection and Devil Fruit Guide.

In the ten years of living in this basement, father Thorn has only visited mother and son 3 times!

Iggy clearly remembered that this was the second time Thorn came to visit the two after he understood it, and he made a request to Thorn.

Hope to use Draco’s rights to find books buried in the fire of war and banned by the Navy.

It’s just that the last time I saw Thorn and brought the books to himself, it was 3 years later.

Iggy felt that this sinful man’s feelings for the mother and son were only cold-blooded and desperate.

He knows very well that to survive in this world, he needs strength and intelligence.

With your own current situation, you can only expand your knowledge first.

Waiting for the day when he can break free from the desperate situation and take his mother to take revenge on Draco and the man.

“Iggy, mom is out.”

When I woke up, with the familiar sound of footsteps, the stone slabs of the roof slowly closed, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

Yuni goes out every time when she is sleepy, thus starting the hard day in exchange for a little food so that mother and son do not starve.

When will this tormented day end, Iggy thought.

I don’t know how long it took, the stone slab opened again, and the sound of heavier and more powerful footsteps sounded than usual.

“Who?!”

Iggy immediately became alert, got up and squinted at the stone steps.

What I saw was a somewhat strange, so familiar, hateful figure that had appeared countless times in his nightmares.

“Thorn! What are you doing here? ”

At this moment, Iggy watched the so-called father walk down the stone steps and stand with his hands in his hands.

Habitually looked at Iggy with a condescending gaze.

“How are you doing?”

Thorn expressed the goodwill of the world’s nobles in a tone of concern as much as possible.

“What do you see?”

Iggy angrily asked Thorn, his eyes full of unwillingness to the situation of mother and son, and hatred of the father, who did nothing.

Through the light outside the house, Thorn could see Iggy’s stubborn eyes, exactly the same as Yuni.

Suddenly his heart softened, full of memories of his short time with Yuni, and self-blame for the debt he owed this child.

“Do you know why you were named Iggy?”

Without answering Iggy head-on, Thorn wanted to make the brief encounter more meaningful.

“Your name Iggy means ‘eagle’. As a Draco, he grew up living in this good-looking holy place. At this altitude of 10,000 meters, only eagles on the sea can fly here. I hope you can leave the shackles in my place and fly like an eagle to the outside world! ”

Thorn looked at Iggy longingly, as if he had seen an eagle fly out of Mary Joa.

“I don’t believe your nonsense anymore, Thorn!”

Looking at Thorn’s expectant gaze, Iggy’s eyes were a little evasive and shaken.

But remembering the pain and suffering that Draco has brought to his mother and himself in the past ten years.

With the cowardice and acquiescence of the man in front of him, Iggy’s eyes became firm again.

“Iggy, I’m your father no matter what.”

Watching Iggy’s attitude return to determination, Thorn hopes he will accept the fact that it cannot be changed.

“Stop!

For ten whole years, you are timid and afraid of things, for your own benefit.

Not only did I not fulfill my father’s responsibilities, but I was locked up here like animals with my mother.

On what basis let me acknowledge your relationship with me!

Go back and be your world nobleman! ”

The more Iggy spoke, the more angry he became, and even this was far from being able to vent his resentment for ten years.

“How the hell can you forgive me.”

The words poked his heart, Thorn was overwhelmed by guilt, unable to defend at all, so he had to lower his identity and plead.

“I want you to give me and my mother an identity and live in dignity, can you do it!?”

“Yes!”

Completely unexpected, Iggy originally blurted out an angry word, but he did not expect Thorn to agree without hesitation.

Iggy looked at Thorn blankly, and his anger began to turn into grievances and complaints.

“My mother and I have to really leave here before I can trust you!”

After all, he is still a ten-year-old child, how can he not have some expectations for the future?

Even though the long dungeon life was about to dry up the longing for life of the mother and son, I heard Thorn’s answer.

There was still a slight flame of hope in Iggy’s heart.

“Iggy, can you call me father?”

Seeing the look of anticipation flashing in Iggy’s eyes, Thorn put forward years of extravagant hopes.

But in exchange for a long silence.

Thorn sighed, reassuring himself of at least the slight gap that had been opened, and turned wisely and walked up the steps.

“Tell your mother, you wait for my news.”

As soon as the words fell, the stone slab was moved back into place.

“Is the family living together again…”

Iggy watched in awe as a glimmer of light disappeared, and his heart was rejuvenated.

In the blink of an eye, at noon, Yuni had just walked down the steps when she saw her son running over excitedly.

“Mom, we can get out of here and start over!”

The food in Yuni’s hand was shaken to the ground by her son, and she was surprised to see her son looking at her expectantly.

Those eyes were full of light and hope that I didn’t know how many years I hadn’t seen.

Infected by her son’s mood, Yuni took Iggy in her arms, and tears of excitement soaked her son’s shoulders.

“Mom is so happy to see you like this!”
