Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Shanks, You Can't Hold It!
Listening to Nami's cheers, Gawain couldn't help but fall silent.
His eyes began to roam over the girls who had just called out.
Seeing Gawain's searching look, Nami suddenly became a little nervous. She put her excited hands in front of her chest and asked Gawain carefully.
"Uh, Lord Gawain, is gambling prohibited on our ship?"
"without."
Gawain shook his head.
"There are no special prohibitions on board."
"Then why are you looking at us like this? I thought we made a mistake..."
After hearing Gawain's words, Nami said to Gawain carefully. Unexpectedly, Gawain suddenly lowered his head and put his mouth to Nami's ear.
"Next time something like this happens again, come to me and let's make a deal."
"Why?!
Hearing this, Nami, who originally felt ambiguous because of Gawain's approach, instantly stopped blushing.
No, her face was still red, but she was so excited that she turned red!
She quickly stood up on her tiptoes, using her short height of only 1.7 meters to get close to Gawain's face.
Then, she tried her best to suppress her voice and spoke extremely seriously.
"If the market opens, how about thirty-seven points? I will definitely give you seven...seven points.
In short, you and I are three, how about this."
After the words fell, Nami raised her hands and clenched them into fists, and moved towards Gawain with starry eyes.
Seeing Nami's little move, Gawain bumped his fist with Nami.
"That `s a deal."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, sir!
"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Nami jumped up excitedly. After she jumped over, she immediately smiled towards him in the distance.
Yixiao was receiving a simple bandage from Chopper. Compared with Garp, who was trying his best against many enemies, Yixiao's injury was very minor, but since Chopper had his hands free, he just bandaged it.
While his forearm was being wrapped around him, Yixiao heard Nami's footsteps approaching?
For new members, especially new members who are relatively valued by adults, you will not be stingy with your smile.
So he asked Nami with a smile.
"Miss Nami looks very excited. What, is there anything happy you want to share with me?"
"certainly!
"
Facing Yixiao's gentle smile, Nami looked around, and then said softly to Yixiao.
"Brother Yixiao, how about we make a bet?
Let me bet that the first dish you eat tonight is made by the blond young man Sanji or the one-legged old man."
Having said this, Nami turned around excitedly and gestured at Gawain from a distance.
Gawain could probably tell that the way Nami looked at him was saying...
Our business is open, sir!
And Gawain.
He rolled his eyes.
…
About ten minutes later, the banquet started quickly. After all, the chefs had almost finished their work.
The central area of the Black Bird's deck was already filled with tables and chairs that looked like flowing seats, and all the tables spread out around the stage in the center.
Due to the large number of people, tables and chairs even occupied a large part of the training area and entertainment area. The area required for more than 40,000 people to sit and eat together is larger than the area required for 100,000 people to watch football together.
…
Gawain's table naturally faced the stage, and he sat in the main seat, while Garp was maliciously arranged by Rayleigh to sit opposite Gawain.
It is conceivable that Gawain is facing the stage, so Garp naturally...
Ahem, presumably a person as open-minded as Garp wouldn't care about these things...
When Gawain sat down, Garp had already sat down at his seat covered in bandages. Before the dishes began to be placed, he stretched his big hand wrapped in bandages to the snacks on the entire table.
Not afraid of being full in advance, the old man emptied all the snacks on the table in just a few minutes.
So when Gawain sat down, the maids hurriedly came over and replaced them with a new batch...
Garp, who was devouring food, saw Gawain and made a move.
"Oh, tsk tsk, Lord Tianlong is here, haha!
Come on, come on, take a seat, the snacks on your ship are not Barati style, they must be made by your original chef, right?"
After finishing his words, Garp picked up the donut and shook it gently towards Gawain twice.
"To be honest, the taste of these snacks is really good, almost every one of them is better than the ones in Marineford.
It's just that, except for this donut, they are not as good as Malinford's chef.
You have to talk to them, if they can’t make donuts, then why are they still bad cooks?”
After finishing his words, Garp threw the donut into his mouth with a look of disgust.
Across from him, Gawain casually adjusted the plate in front of him, and then he shrugged at Garp.
"Mr. Garp, you Malinford chefs must have been tortured by you in the skill of making donuts for more than fifty years..."
Aside from Navy Headquarters where you are, what chef would make donuts a lifelong pursuit?"
After the words fell, Gawain picked up a glass of sweet wine and let out a small sigh.
Looking at Gawain's contented look, Garp waved his hand indifferently, and saw him chewing, squinting his eyes and smiling.
"Haha, that's true. If we don't have picky eaters, how can we have good chefs?
Forget it, I won’t argue with you anymore, let’s drink tea!”
Having said this, Karp held donuts in one hand and black tea in the other. While eating and drinking, he looked back at the stage.
At this moment, the band's performance had just begun, and Uta had just risen from below the deck to the center of the stage out of thin air.
Looking at Uta's half-white and half-red hair, Garp curled his lips in amusement.
"Tsk tsk, this must be Shanks' daughter, long time no see!"
"Why?"
As soon as Garp finished speaking, Gawain couldn't help but ask.
"Have you always seen Uta?"
"How could I not have seen that daring guy Shanks, he took Uta and lived in Windmill Village for a long time!
Hell, Windmill Village is my hometown!
Do you know what it is like to be in a real hometown? Whatever happens in my hometown, I will always see it in my eyes.
Therefore, although I did not appear in front of them, I still know Uta and this matter!"
Having said this, Garp swallowed the donut, held the teacup in both hands, and took a leisurely sip.
…
On the stage behind him, Uta did not use any announcement to interrupt everyone's enjoyment of the banquet.
She just tried her best to feel the hearts of everyone present, and then tried her best to play relaxing and comfortable music, and conveyed that emotion to everyone's hearts through notes and singing.
Accompanied by the music, Gawain drank a whole glass of sweet wine, and then he looked towards Garp.
"That's right. Windmill Village is your old home after all, and your grandchildren..."
"My grandson and godson!
"
Beside Garp, Rayleigh turned his back to Utta and the stage, rushing to interrupt Gawain's words. While emphasizing, he looked at Garp coldly.
Facing Reilly's fierce eyes, Garp shrugged unscrupulously and only saw him grinning.
"What are you doing to emphasize, haha, Ace is my grandson anyway, none of you can change that!
Why, you want to bite me, Pluto!
Let me just say, there is only three years between this brat Ace and my grandson. With such an age difference, even if he is the son entrusted to me by that bastard Roger, I can’t let my grandson call him uncle!”
After he finished speaking, Garp picked up a chicken leg and threw the thing at Ace.
Seeing the greasy chicken legs flying towards him, Ace quickly tried to avoid or catch them.
But he never expected that even though he had already made a move, the chicken leg would actually turn an arc and be stuffed into his mouth.
“Uh-huh!
"
After choking on the chicken leg, Ace pulled out the chicken bone.
While biting into the chicken, Ace stood up and yelled at Garp.
"Old man, are you crazy? This thing almost choked me to death!
"
"Ah hahahaha, I see you eat delicious food, kid!"
Just after Garp responded with a smile, his expression suddenly turned cold. He put his hands on the table and suddenly stood up and continued to shout to Ace.
"If I don't give you a chicken leg to try, you won't know what I've been doing lately!
I trained you back then just so that you could inherit my mantle in the navy, you bastard!
Luffy's grandson was tricked by Shanks and caused him to eat a Devil Fruit, and it was the same Devil Fruit!
As a Devil Fruit user, he is no longer qualified to inherit my mantle, do you understand?
I wanted to train you to be the next me. With your talent, you should have easily surpassed me and become the mainstay of the Navy in the future!
As a result, you bastard not only became a pirate, but you actually ate a devil fruit!
"
Shouting this, Garp suddenly raised his big hand that was covered with bandages, picked up his stool, and was about to throw it at Ace.
In the blink of an eye, the chair in Garp's hand was dyed black with military color!
Seeing Garp's appearance, Ace's eyes widened. This is an adult's ship. Old man, you are making trouble regardless of the occasion!
For a moment, Ace glared at Garp and then yelled.
"Hey, old man, I'm not your toy, I can be manipulated by you as you please!
Although I know that I owe you a huge debt, that doesn’t mean that I can only be the kind of person you want me to be!
…
What's more, I don't want to be a pirate anymore, I'm now a cadre of the Blackbird Iron Eagle Regiment!
Speaking of this administrative level, I am probably higher than the CP. You, the navy, can only obey my orders, right?
"
Having said this, Ace pointed at Garp with the chicken bone in his hand.
"So, put your stool down, you old marine!
I'm your boss now, old man... Ouch!
"
Just when Ace said this, Garp couldn't stand at all. He simply dropped the stool and threw himself directly in front of Ace.
After waving his big hand and holding Ace under his arm, Garp used a black hand to hit Ace's head with an electric drill.
At this moment, Ace's life strangely overlapped with that of a child named Nohara. Accompanied by Ace's screams, Gawain laughed and raised the cup in his hand.
"Everyone!"
He smiled and said to everyone on the boat.
"Let's do it for Old Man Garp and his grandson, haha!
"
At this moment, all the 40,000 people at the Black Bird raised their glasses. Even the maids walking among them all found their own drinks and took a sip excitedly.
After a while, the sounds of drunkenness could be heard one after another, and Gawain also put down his glass, reached out and said to Garp and Ace.
"Hey, you two, we've all drank our wine for you, it's time for you to calm down!
Mr. Garp, I know you have never liked the Celestial Dragons, so I don’t ask you to give me any face.
But many of you here are your old friends!
Even if you are taking care of everyone, please let go quickly, spanking a child in front of friends is not what a serious person should do!"
"snort!"
In the center of the chaos, after hearing Gawain's words, Garp angrily let go of Ace.
Just when Ace looked at Gawain with a moved look of being saved, Garp sat back in his seat, picked up the wine bottle and took a deep sip.
"It's really troublesome, I never worry about my children!
The same goes for my son, and so does my grandson. No one can think about it for me!
Only Xiao Gion is more considerate and never eats the fruit, but Xiao Gion is a girl.
As a woman, if she doesn't have Lingling's talent, it's almost impossible to follow my path, so even if Xiao Gion makes me worry-free, Xiao Gion can't inherit my legacy!
In other words, Little Rabbit has inherited all my leg skills, but there is really no one who can inherit my iron fists!
"
Having said this, Garp rarely showed a slightly disappointed expression, and he shook his head slightly.
"Zefa."
He said to Zefa who was wearing sunglasses not far away.
"You are worthy of being the youngest general of our generation. You are so smart!
I started working as a teacher early on, and as a result, I have gained many talents all over the world. Are all the outstanding juniors in the Navy carrying your inheritance?
And I, haha, when I die, the name Iron Fist will be inherited by some trash.
When I think about the possibility that there might be some little pirates hanging around in disadvantaged areas who think Iron Fist is the name of the pirate group, I can't wait to go to the New World and beat up Shanks!
…
"
"Why?"
Not far away, Zefa, who was noticed by Garp, asked Garp in confusion.
"Wait a minute, Garp, why are you going to the New World to beat up Shanks when you're angry because of your nonsense?"
"Fart, that bastard has taught my grandson a bad lesson!
"
Garp responded fiercely, and then he rubbed his head in frustration.
“I really can’t believe that he would actually do it to that extent!
A guy like him would actually take my grandson with him in the sea and have his left hand bitten off by a sea king creature not more than 200 meters long?!
That Neptune species was specially raised by me. After all, there was nothing blocking it. I was afraid that my grandchildren would sneak out to sea from Windmill Village!
As a result, the stupid Neptune type that I raised at random was able to kill off one of the red-haired arms?!
Garp rubbed his hair depressedly. His hair was a little pricked after being cut by Gion's sword energy.
So after rubbing it, Garp was stunned, and then he giggled.
"Oh, this feels like grass~.
Wait, now is not the time to talk about this, I just want to beat Shanks anyway!
"
After the words fell, Garp laughed and sat back in his chair. He picked up the donuts and gave a thumbs up to the others.
"Today's fight, haha, I had such a great time fighting!
Old Leili, Little Peach Rabbit, and that blind brother, I really want to thank you, haha!
I'll practice with you guys in advance so that my old bones can start to move. When I heal up, I'll take a sneak trip to the New World to have a good time with that rising star who is about the same age as you, that is, damn Shanks.
Touch it!
Hasn’t he been a Yonko for more than a year, haha!
He, the four emperors, should have never been severely beaten by the navy headed by me!
This time, I plan to bring Kuzan boy with me. Between the two of us, I have to beat him until Shanks can't mess around for two years!
If he is not allowed to see my fist, he will not be able to grasp the position of the Four Emperors!
