Chapter 4000 KFC catches Luffy, the wisher takes the bait
"So..."
A few minutes later, after listening to Nuo Xia's explanation of why she came, Tina blinked and looked surprised:
"Brother Nuo Xia, why are you here specifically for Mr. Karp's grandson?"
"yes."
Nuo Xia kept looking at the streets on both sides and responded casually, "The old man is worried about his grandson, and he is too busy to get away. And I happen to be in the East China Sea..."
He shrugged, "I have no choice but to do it for you."
At this time, they had entered the village, and many children passing by cast curious glances at these marines, who were rarely seen in daily life.
"It's really strange. Since Mr. Garp wants his grandson to become a navy, he is also afraid that he will become a pirate..."
Smoker behind him was smoking a cigar, puzzled, "Then why not just keep him in the headquarters and train him carefully?"
"I heard from Grandma Zhizi that that kid seems to be extremely naughty."
Tina left Nuo Xia's arms and regained her iceberg beauty appearance in front of her subordinates. She said calmly: "Probably because she is afraid that he will use his status to cause trouble all day long in the headquarters, follow the bad example of other second-generation ancestors, and ruin it.
Malinfando must be making a fuss."
She was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked at Nuo Xia next to her, "Brother Nuo Xia, I didn't mean Nami..."
"fine."
Nuo Xia's eyes twitched, "That child is indeed causing trouble, and he is getting older. I will definitely discipline him well after I return to my headquarters."
"What you mentioned may be one of the reasons."
He pondered for a moment, "But really speaking, it probably has something to do with the child's life experience...or his father."
"Father?"
Tina and Smoker were both stunned. Smoker scratched his head and said blankly:
"No way? Isn't his father the son of Mr. Karp? What can I ask...eh?"
He suddenly realized something - no, Mr. Karp's son should also be in the navy, right?
How come I've been in the headquarters for so long and yet I've never heard of it?
Tina also held her chin and fell into deep thought. This problem had troubled him for a long time. When she first came to the headquarters with Zhizi nine years ago, out of curiosity, she also asked Zhizi in private, but the latter kept it secret.
He just smiled and rubbed her head and said that children should not ask too many questions.
"It's a big problem."
Nuo Xia leisurely said, "That guy is called Monkey D. Long."
"Monkey D. Dragon?"
Before Smoker could react, he wondered, "Mr. Karp's son must be named Monkey. Mr. Bailong, is there anything wrong with this name..."
etc!
dragon?
His eyes widened suddenly, and the cigar he secretly picked up at the entrance of the village fell to the ground with a clatter.
Is it that dragon?
The full name was originally Monkey·D·Long???
The man regarded as the biggest threat by the World Government is actually Mr. Garp’s son?!
He stood there dumbfounded with his mouth open, and Tina also covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.
They both lost their composure, not to mention the sailors who followed behind them. After being frozen and petrified for two seconds, they all screamed in surprise.
"Eh, eh eh eh???"
"So you understand why Mr. Karp shamelessly asks for leave several times a year and comes back several times from thousands of miles away, and is unwilling to bring him to the headquarters."
Nuo Xia chuckled and said:
"After all, there are many people in Malinfando. My father is doing important things outside. If my son's identity is known by the people above, there is no guarantee that he will not be kidnapped by some secret means and used as a hostage."
"Ah, right."
Seeing that the group was still dumbfounded, Nuo Xia plucked his ears and said nonchalantly, "You should just swallow this and forget about it. Don't spread it outside, or just pretend that I didn't say it and you didn't hear it."
You said it so lightly. It took me half a day to digest this... such heavy news. Can you pretend you didn't hear it?
Smoker smiled bitterly, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately nodded solemnly to Nuo Xia.
Windmill Village is not big.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group followed Nuo Xia to the northernmost part of the village, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary two-story building with a garden.
"Is this Mr. Karp's home?"
Tina curiously walked around the garden, recalling her childhood days on Gul Island in the West Sea, where she grew up with Grandma Zhizi who resigned and lived in seclusion.
Unfortunately, most of the flowers and plants in this garden are wilted and overgrown with weeds. Apparently no one has taken care of them for a long time.
"Is anyone there?"
She knocked on the door and waited quietly for a long time, but without waiting for a response, she turned to look at Nuo Xia inquiringly.
"Let's talk after we go in."
Nuo Xia didn't want to say anything more and directly opened the door and entered the house.
"Eh? Eh? Brother Nuo Xia, isn't this bad..."
Tina who was behind was stunned, but saw that Nuo Xia was already wandering around in the living room with her hands behind her back. She sighed and had no choice but to wave her hand and follow Smoker and the others in.
What's wrong with that.
Sensing the scruples of the sailors behind him, Nuo Xia curled his lips.
Garp drinks and dines with his father every day in the headquarters. Every day after get off work, he opens the door ten times and sees this old man eight times. He almost treats it as his own home.
Then Karp's home is his home, and there's nothing wrong with it.
"It's okay. It seems that everyone in the village takes good care of this boy."
He wandered around the living room and kitchen. There were piles of various ingredients on the table and in the refrigerator. It looked like they were sent by kind villagers.
There's even a big pot of fragrant beef stew with potatoes.
"The milk has not expired. This childhood treatment is already higher than that of another destiny child. I don't know where it is."
He sighed twice, and Smoker behind him said hesitantly: "Sir, it seems that Luffy is not at home, so we can't wait here all the time. How about I ask everyone to spread out and search together, Windmill Village
It’s so big, I’ll definitely be able to help you ask for it soon.”
The eyes of the sailors at the back suddenly lit up, they nodded hurriedly, and looked at Nuo Xia expectantly.
——Being able to work for Mr. Bailong is an honor that many sailors dream of. By the time they get to Rogge Town, this will be enough for them to brag to their colleagues for at least three years.
"No need to bother."
Nuo Xia smiled and said, "The sun is almost setting. Since he's not home yet... then I probably know where this kid has gone."
The moment he spoke, the powerful sight spread instantly, covering the entire island.
As expected.
After a rough sweep, Nuo Xia quickly found the scent deep in the uninhabited forest in the north.
"Let's go."
He picked up the milk in the refrigerator, raised his head and drank it all. Under the stunned eyes of the sailors, he slammed the refrigerator door and said with a smile.
"Dinner has already been ordered. It's the best time to meet this brat."
…
To the south of Windmill Village are plain fields, with gurgling rivers passing by, abundant water sources, and a variety of wheat and tulips.
To the north, there is a large area of undeveloped virgin forest. There are many dangerous beasts living in the mountain forest. Villagers generally do not enter the forest to disturb them, and they basically do not come down the mountain to harass the villagers.
We have been living in peace and harmony for many years.
only……
In recent years, this peaceful peace seems to have a tendency to be unilaterally broken.
"It hurts, it hurts... Oooh, it really hurts!!"
Under a towering pine tree, Luffy, who looked like a little furry monkey, was covering the smoking swelling on his head, screaming in pain.
At this time, he had just turned seven years old, and he looked cute and lovable. He was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt that Garp bought for him. It had a red navy anchor pattern on the chest, and a line of large black letters printed below -
"anchor".
In front of him, two giant apes that looked like hills were squatting there. One of them clenched his fists and was angry, while the other also looked unkind and pointed in the direction of Windmill Village in the distance.
"Why are you driving me away now! The three-day survival training will officially end when the sun sets tomorrow! I have to stay in this forest all day, so I don't want to leave! The worst I can do is not go to your house to get it
Banana is ready!”
Did you just steal bananas to eat?
Every time I go into the forest for survival training, everything will be disturbed and the beasts will shed tears!
In the past two days alone, I don’t know how many little monkeys, squirrels and hares who were protected by them came to complain in tears!
The two giant apes became even angrier after hearing this. The male giant ape on the right kept beating his chest and roaring at the little Luffy below, but he never dared to take action.
no way……
As the kings of this forest, they can indeed turn this little devil into a pulp with just one slap.
But the old man who brought this kid in last time was so terrifying that he secretly made a deal with them by forcefully pressing his head...
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to tolerate this little devil wandering around in the forest every day until now.
"Okay, I'm just leaving!"
Two fists were no match for the four claws. Luffy rubbed his sore butt and limped towards the outside, muttering angrily, "Humph, you stingy man, drink some cold water, didn't I just take you some bananas this morning?"
Well, as for getting so angry..."
a little?
You bastard kid...you clearly took advantage of us not being at home to empty out all the inventory, right?
The male giant ape's eyes were spitting fire. Looking at Luffy's back, he wanted to step forward and kick his butt. However, the female giant ape next to him had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him in time, with a "Forget it, forget it" expression on his face.
…
…
Under the sunset.
In the clearing of the forest, the small shadow was stretched out.
"Oops, it seems like we're still in the middle of the forest. It won't be until tomorrow morning at least when we can walk home..."
Luffy kicked stones all the way and rubbed his growling stomach, "But I'm so hungry... My stomach won't hold up until then..."
Ever since Garp kicked him into this forest for the first time last year and started hell training, his ability to survive in the wild has improved by leaps and bounds, but at the same time he has become notorious throughout the forest.
The large beasts that couldn't beat him didn't bother to pay attention to him, but the smaller beasts that could beat him were afraid of him like a tiger. Before he got close, it was as if they heard Gudong coming, and fled early, without being able to catch him.
He had almost removed all the edible berries around him, and no new ones had grown yet.
What can be done?
Luffy got into trouble and turned around to glance furtively into the distance. The two giant apes were obviously worried about him. They had already walked several hundred meters away, but they still stayed in place and stared at him.
Finished.
It seems that the plan to go back secretly and see if there is any food in the giant ape's lair has been wasted.
Luffy turned around with a frown on his face. He could only try not to think about food, but his stomach was not letting him live up to expectations, and his screams became louder and louder...
Just then.
A strong aroma of meat wafted from nowhere and penetrated his nose, constantly teasing his olfactory nerves...
“It smells so good!”
Luffy seemed to be possessed, his arms hanging at his sides, and his legs involuntarily followed the smell.
After searching for hundreds of meters, I finally found a finger-sucking original chicken lying on a huge rock. My eyes suddenly shone and my saliva dripped all over the floor:
"Oh! It's fried chicken!!"
He pounced directly on it, grabbed the fried chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking, biting and pulling it, and the bones were removed in an instant, and all the meat went into his mouth.
Hmm... Luffy sucked his thumb and looked at the chicken bones in his hand. It was delicious, but there were too few. It wasn't even enough to fit between his teeth!
or……
Luffy stared at the bones, hesitant on his face. He was really hungry and couldn't bear it. The bones seemed to be quite soft. Could it be...
Suddenly, a burst of laughter burst out from above:
"Hahahaha! It's so amazing! It's really like what Mr. Bailong said!"
"We don't have to go in to look for it at all, we just need to put a piece of meat here and it will be fished out!"
"I can smell it from such a distance. This little guy's nose is as sharp as a dog's, hahahaha!"
…
Who's on top?!
Luffy hurriedly raised his head and looked around, and the next second he saw that there were people watching the excitement on the dozens of trees around him, and many of them were still laughing.
He was ashamed and angry, his little face turned red, he waved the chicken bones and shouted:
"Hey! What's so funny! Who are you, hiding here secretly...eh?"
The little guy was suddenly startled, obviously noticing how these people were dressed...
"Did you see it?"
Tina was the first to jump down from the tree. Seeing Luffy's stunned look, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek, "Don't be so hostile, little guy, we are all marines just like your grandfather."
La."
"navy?"
Luffy's hostility was indeed gone, but he still subconsciously pushed Tina's hand away, "Do you know my grandpa?"
"That's right."
Nuo Xia also landed on the ground and looked down at Luffy with a smile:
"Actually, it was your grandfather who asked me to come find you... Forget it, it's inconvenient to say it here, why don't you come back to the village with us first?"
"Oh, okay."
Nosha's smile was sunny and warm, and full of friendliness. Luffy almost didn't think about it, and nodded his head subconsciously.
But before he took two steps, he suddenly reacted and backed away a few meters to the side, his little face full of vigilance:
"No! I won't go with you!"
Smoker and the others were startled, looking back at the little guy in astonishment.
"Hmph, I know what you are going to do!"
Luffy held the chicken bones in his hands and put on a defensive posture, "You must all be grandpa's subordinates! You came to capture me to become a marine under his orders, right?"
"I want to be the Pirate King, not the Navy! I won't go! I won't go! No matter what, I will never go back with you!"
——————————
ps: It seems that some readers don’t know the specific story line, or have been misled by other fans. Although I mentioned it before, I will summarize it here.
Windmill Village is Garp's hometown. Luffy grew up here. Later, the red-haired man lived here for more than a year. After Garp found out, he was afraid that his grandson would be led astray, so he took the 8-year-old son out of Windmill Village and threw him away.
He was taken care of by the bandit Dadan (Ace was always there), and then the story of the three ASL brothers came about.
These are two different things. Dadan is not in Windmill Village. I hope everyone knows.
