Chapter three hundred and seventy-first, difficult choices, inevitable answers
Of course bandits live in the mountains.
Dadan picked up Luffy, whose eyes were white and foaming at the mouth, and led Garp and the others to the residence of Dadan's family.
Gorbo Mountain is a little-known hill outside Windmill Town. In fact, if you ask Luffy, who grew up here, what the name of this mountain is, he will definitely not know.
It's just such an unremarkable, ordinary hill.
After walking through the door, Garp turned around and said, "You guys wait here, I have something to tell her."
"this……"
The two men in white suits looked at each other, and one of them said majestically: "Mr. Karp, please don't make it difficult for us."
"Ah!"
In response, Garp grinned harmlessly.
Then……
boom!
Closed the door.
"..."
The white suits were full of black lines on their heads, and in the end they could only nod to each other. One sat cross-legged at the gate, and the other jumped up and disappeared among the trees on the roof.
Poof!
Throwing Luffy on the chair, Dadan bit his cigarette: "You never said your situation was so bad before, Garp."
"And he even brought government agents to my place!"
Although Dadan is not very strong, he has seen the world when he was young.
Not everyone is qualified to carry the cross pattern on the back of their trench coats.
"Don't worry, are you okay if you don't look at me?"
Garp knew he was in the wrong, and rubbed the back of his head with a smile on his face: "The world government will not be so irrational as to execute all relevant insiders."
"That's because the news can't be hidden anymore! Bastard Garp!"
Dadan hammered the desktop in anger: "It doesn't matter whether you die or not, but why do you want to involve Ace?!"
Garp: "..."
After being speechless for a second, Garp could only smile bitterly and continue to comfort him: "Don't worry, there is Whitebeard! And the World Government has no time to take action against him now. By the time he is too old to be beaten, Ace has already grown up."
The title of "The Strongest in the World" is somewhat useful.
Dadan glared at Garp and sat back after a few seconds.
"Then what? Luffy, what are you going to do?"
Dadan's eyelids twitched as he glanced at Luffy, who was unconscious and still twitching from time to time.
"This kid won't listen to us. Even if we kidnap him to the Navy branch, he will try his best to escape."
They had no choice but to let Luffy join the navy!
Garp made a huge mistake and not implicating Luffy was the result of the influence of the Five Old Stars' scruples. But once Luffy goes to sea and becomes a pirate, the Five Old Stars will definitely pay close attention to the noise caused by his grandfather!
After all, it sounds a bit ugly.
Grandpa adopted a sinful bloodline as a marine.
Dad founded the revolutionary army and watched with eager eyes.
The grandson's goal is to become the Pirate King and become a thief...
What's going on with this family?!
Do you need to have all kinds of things to rebel?!!
Of course, the five old stars at this moment still don't know that before Shanks became the Yonko, he entrusted the straw hat left by Roger to Luffy.
And Garp didn't know that besides Ace, the people who were close to Luffy back then were also Sabo, who was presumed dead and is now the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army.
Otherwise, everyone's expressions must be quite wonderful.
In the original work, Sabo regained his memory due to the huge shock of Ace's death, and the name "Fire Fist" must have been recorded as the Supernova Revolutionary Army back then. It's not surprising that he doesn't recognize it now.
But no matter what, Luffy is not as powerful as his two brothers now.
Once you go to sea, dangers can be expected.
When talking about this matter, Garp was silent for a long time: "I... will try to persuade you again."
"Bah! Are you sure he will listen?"
Garp: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Dadan looked at Garp seriously: "Tell him, Garp."
"Everything about you."
"When I think about this kid being hunted by the navy in the future and becoming enemies with monsters like the Black Earl, I'm scared to death."
"You don't want to worry about Ace going to sea. I agree that he has his own way...but what about Luffy?"
Dadan roared in a low voice: "He is your grandson!"
"How could you just watch him go to a dead end?!"
"no!"
In surprise, Garp widened his eyes and looked at Dadan seriously: "This is the only thing that cannot be done!"
"Why?!!"
"Because he is Luffy..."
Garp sighed helplessly: "If he knew that I was imprisoned in Impel Down, he would definitely come to rescue me. Only then would I really be dead."
Dadan was silent.
This... is not very possible, but it is bound to happen!
Even though Luffy is now deathly afraid of Garp, he can't break the family bond he had when he was a child and fell asleep on his grandfather's back.
No matter what kind of enemies are waiting for him in front, as long as he identifies the target, he will go on resolutely until death!
This is also the root cause of their headaches.
Because Luffy’s current goal is to become the Pirate King!
"Xiang, Ke, Si!!"
The same words came out of their mouths. They were stunned for a moment. Garp shook his head: "Let me stay alone with him for a while, Dadan."
"……good."
After saying that, he stood up and opened the door.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
boom!
White suit: "..."
Are the bandits here so arrogant?
I'm a government agent!
Show me some respect!
Luffy felt like he had a dream. In the dream, he finally became the Pirate King and held a banquet with his friends.
Suddenly a nightmare-like voice sounded in my ears.
"Luffy!!!"
Turning his head, a familiar fist came into view.
"ah!!!"
Turning over and sitting up, Luffy looked ahead with confused eyes, and then struck his palm after a while.
"Sou Ga, it turns out to be a dream!"
Then he looked disgusted.
"But why does the old man appear in the dream of becoming the Pirate King? It's so disgusting."
Garp: "..."
He leaned forward with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Then can you tell grandpa what the old man in the dream is doing?"
Luffy:"……"
Danger!
When Luffy woke up again, it was already dusk.
Touching the orange-red shiny big bun on top of his head, Luffy, who had a bruised nose and face, said vaguely: "I don't know how to prepare your dinner, old man."
"Tch, I'm afraid I'll be poisoned if I eat it!"
Karp sneered.
As Luffy who was raised as a monkey on the mountain (correctly), Dadan didn't have the habit of preparing a meal and waiting for him to come home. Before Ace went to sea, the two of them had a barbecue in the forest. After Ace went to sea... it was Luffy's turn.
Did it myself.
But Luffy's cooking skills...
Anyway, according to the unnamed mayor Upp Schlapp, in the past two years he has often seen a kid in a red mantle and a straw hat carrying prey in and out of the banquet bar run by Nochigo, every time.
He walked out holding on to the wall.
After finishing speaking, the grandfather and grandson fell silent again.
Just as Garp was thinking about his opening remarks, Luffy suddenly said: "What happened to your hand? Was it injured while fighting pirates?"
Garp felt warm in his heart, looked at the only half of the plaster left, and smiled.
"Yes, he was injured by a very strong pirate."
"Very strong? Is it as strong as Shanks?"
Garp: "..."
"Don't mention this name to me!"
"Hey~~!"
Luffy pursed his lips in displeasure, and then his eyes lit up: "Is he as good as the Pirate King?"
"have no idea."
Garp glanced at him: "Roger has been dead for so many years, how can he compare?"
"You lost, right?"
Suddenly, Luffy's tone became serious.
Garp was stunned for a moment, then he continued: "If you win, you won't be so unhappy."
"You actually discovered it..."
He raised his right hand and rubbed Luffy's head. Amid the disgusted expression on Luffy's face, Garp smiled and said, "Yeah, we lost miserably."
"Luffy……"
"Um?"
"Do you really want to go to sea?"
"Of course, do you still need to ask?!"
Luffy jumped up excitedly on the spot, and his strong vitality made Garp stunned: "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King. How can I become the Pirate King without going to sea?!"
Suddenly, he backed away warily: "Wait a minute, are you coming back to force me to join the navy?"
"I'm telling you, smelly old man, no way!"
"Hey, I don't understand. What's wrong with the navy? The navy fights pirates to protect everyone. It's a noble cause!"
"Then I won't go either. I won't hurt anyone. What does the navy have to do with me?"
"Luffy!"
"grandfather!"
At this time, Luffy looked at him seriously: "I know you are worried about me. There are pirates on the sea who are not even your opponent. If I want to become the Pirate King, I will definitely be in danger."
"but!"
"This is my dream!"
Luffy grinned stupidly and said: "Go with my friends to hunt for treasures and explore the depths of the unknown sea, meet the enemy's challenges with them, and sail in the storm. This is what I want to do!"
"Luffy……"
"And if you give up on your dreams just because of fear, you will also be disappointed in me, right?"
"I don't remember that you taught us to be cowards, but to become upright men!"
Garp was shocked.
That Luffy could actually make such a clear statement.
wrong!
He suddenly woke up, grabbed Luffy's lapel, and sneered: "It took you a lot of effort to memorize it, right? Who taught you that?"
"ah?"
Luffy was confused and turned his head: "Yes... I thought of it myself."
"Haha, you are loyal, not bad!"
Garp began to stretch his muscles.
Garp used the Heart Fist.
Outstanding effect!
After another period of uproar, Garp put down the dying Luffy and picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.
"Is Nuoqi tall? What a hateful girl!"
Luffy had a shocked look on his face, his expression undoubtedly said, how did you know?
Did I spill the beans when I was unconscious?!
Then shock turned to joy as Cap spoke next.
"Then go, Luffy!"
Sitting on the chair beside the table, Garp turned his head and gave Luffy a sideways look: "As long as you don't regret it, just do whatever you want to do!"
"You can become a very vicious pirate, you can turn the world upside down like your father, but I don't care about you!"
"Ah? I still have a father?"
Garp: "..."
"roll!!"
boom!
Under the eyes of the white suit, Luffy smashed the door and was thrown out.
Looking at the young man hanging on the branch swaying in the wind, his white suit was twitching.
"This family must be sick!"
Otherwise, the world is sick!
Then he looked at Garp who walked out of the room and said, "Can you leave now? Mr. Garp."
"Let's go! I've already finished what I need to say!"
The action just now accidentally touched the wound. Garp took a breath and glanced at Dadan in the distance and nodded.
Then he strode forward, and when passing by Luffy, he pulled up his navy uniform, a familiar smile on his old face.
"Not bad, Luffy!"
"That's it, keep going in the direction in your heart and don't look back!"
Watching the three of them walk away, Dadan blew out a smoke ring and looked gloomy.
"Kap!"
Garp came and went in the afternoon and didn't meet anyone except her, the adoptive mother of sinful blood.
It was clear to Dadan why.
Looking into the distance, a red sun is slowly being swallowed by the horizon. The darkest moment has arrived.
But lights one after another lit up in the small town at this time, illuminating the night sky.
"I am not my mother-in-law's wife. Since you have decided..."
After glancing at Luffy, Dadan walked into the room and brought a table to block the gap.
Half an hour later...
"Is...is there anyone?"
Luffy woke up again and stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Help...help...Hiccup!"
Monkey D. Luffy, the three cats are out!
………………
I'm stuck. I sent you a 3,400-word chapter. I'll just update it twice today. It's so uncomfortable.
If you don’t write it, it won’t feel good. If you write it, it will be too long.
