Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku was scolded again.
Nico Robin was obtained by the Sun and Moon Pirates, and the Ope-Ope no Mi was obtained by the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Nico Robin and the Ope-Ope no Mi.
Both were targets of the World Government.
And the Sun and Moon Pirates were the pirates the World Government most wanted to eliminate.
They were together.
The Gorosei were so angry that they cursed Sengoku for half an hour, "You Marines are all useless, useless!!!"
Sengoku silently endured for half an hour.
He put down the phone.
The previously humble Sengoku's demeanor immediately changed.
Sengoku, his face as black as charcoal, veins bulging on his forehead, glared furiously at the Marine high-ranking officers: "I told you to come up with ideas, and after all this time, you have no plan at all! As Admirals and Vice Admirals, are you worthy of the justice you bear? If you don't want to do it, then don't!"
The Marine officers were stunned.
They felt wronged.
It's not that we're not doing anything.
It's that we can't find the Sun and Moon Pirates at all; what can we do?
Can we really curse the Sun and Moon Pirates to death?
"Kevin and his crew are in the West Blue. Half a month ago, I suggested that I lead a team to Reverse Mountain to block the entrance to the Grand Line. As long as the Sun and Moon Pirates want to enter the Grand Line, I can catch him."
Sakazuki said in a deep voice.
My suggestion is so perfect, why won't you listen?
"Sakazuki, your suggestion is too idealistic." Sengoku shook his head: "Can you guarantee that you alone can take down the Sun and Moon Pirates?"
"Yes!" Sakazuki was very confident.
Last time, without invincible defense.
He had already succeeded.
"Do you think the Sun and Moon Pirates won't grow stronger? Now, with one Admiral, the possibility of success is very small. If two or even three go to block the Grand Line entrance, what happens if the Holy Land is in crisis? What happens if Headquarters is in crisis? Who will stop those monsters in the New World if they cause trouble?"
Sengoku retorted to Sakazuki.
Of course, he knew that blocking the Grand Line entrance was a good method.
But there were too many problems in executing it.
Blocking the entrance.
The commotion would be too great; it couldn't be kept a secret.
The Sun and Moon Pirates don't need to do anything; after playing around in the Four Seas for one or two years, the Navy won't be able to drag it out.
There are only three Admirals.
Their tasks are heavy.
The Navy doesn't just have Kevin as an enemy; there are also many Pirate Crews that require the Admirals to keep in check.
The entrance to the Grand Line is too far from Navy Headquarters and Holy Land Mary Geoise; once something unexpected happens, they won't be able to return in time.
"Blocking the entrance to the Grand Line is unrealistic, but blocking the entrance to the New World is feasible." Akainu's suggestion gave Sengoku great inspiration.
To the New World.
There are only two paths.
One is through Holy Land Mary Geoise, which pirates would never choose.
The other path is from Fish-Man Island in the deep sea to the New World.
To go to Fish-Man Island, Pirate Crews need to have their ships coated at Sabaody Archipelago.
This is the opportunity.
"Wait, don't alarm the Sun and Moon Pirates now. Let them lower their guard and wait for an opportunity." Sengoku clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
There will always be an opportunity.
"The Sun and Moon Pirates won't be rampant for long, I, Sengoku, firmly believe."
Here.
Sengoku couldn't help but complain about Mr. Garp again.
He clearly encountered the Sun and Moon Pirates, yet he told me he couldn't take them down.
Who are you fooling?
You are Mr. Garp.
How could there be a pirate you can't take down? You clearly didn't put in any effort and just went through the motions.
No matter how fast Kevin grows.
Can he compare to you, Mr. Garp?
I, Sengoku, don't believe it.
...
...
After a long journey.
Mr. Garp finally returned to his hometown.
He saw the windmills turning.
Mr. Garp, who had been away from home for a long time, showed an impatient smile; he could finally see those two boys again.
"Luffy, your grandpa is back!"
In Windmill Village, the villagers greeted Mr. Garp as he came ashore and informed Luffy, who was playing wildly in the fields.
"The Red Hair Pirates and the Sun and Moon Pirates didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Mr. Garp asked casually.
"No."
"They are very good."
"They don't seem like pirates at all."
"It's just that Makino was taken away by Mr. Kevin, so we have nowhere to go for a drink anymore."
"Mr. Garp, you are a Marine, you must not harm Makino."
"Alright, alright, Makino will be fine going out with that guy." While chatting with everyone, Mr. Garp grabbed Luffy, who was trying to run away in a panic: "Luffy, you brat, why are you running?"
"Ah, Grandpa, it's you! I thought it was a bad guy." Luffy's eyes and mouth glanced to the left.
"Mr. Garp, you must properly educate this brat Luffy; he keeps shouting that he wants to become the Pirate King all day, even late at night."
"What?"
Mr. Garp was stunned.
He looked down, and his gaze met Luffy's.
"Luffy, you want to become the Pirate King, who taught you that?"
"I'm going to be the Pirate King! I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!"
His life's dream.
Even under his grandpa's gaze, Luffy still shouted loudly: "This is my promise with Shanks!"
"Red Hair!!!"
From the village, Mr. Garp's angry roar echoed.
Red Hair, who was already in the Grand Line and drinking with Hawkeye Mihawk, shivered.
"Shanks, is your body already this weak?" Hawkeye Mihawk looked at Red Hair with dissatisfaction. His arm was broken, and he was finished, which meant I lost an opponent.
"Hahaha, the boss isn't weak, the boss finally found a girl he liked, and she ran off with someone." The Red Hair Pirate Crew members all teased Red-Haired Shanks.
Red-Haired Shanks's face darkened.
"Don't mind them, Mihawk, pour, pour, let's drink, let's drink. Anyway, you're not interested in fighting me, so let's see who can drink more."
Hawkeye Mihawk still didn't pick up his cup.
Compared to drinking.
He looked forward more to having a well-matched opponent; only then would life be fun.
"Don't have such a dying expression. If you don't want to fight me, hasn't it spread across the sea that Kevin and I fought for three days without a clear winner? I forgot to tell you, Kevin got Captain Roger's treasured sword 'Ace'. Kevin is also a swordsman, so why don't you go find him?"
Hawkeye Mihawk's eyes lit up.
"He got that sword?"
If Hawkeye Mihawk's smooth life had any setbacks, there was only one: his inability to use the Supreme Grade Swords, "Ace."
He couldn't do it.
Kevin did.
"I thought with Kevin's age, it would take a few more years for him to become a worthy opponent. Turns out, he's not just astonishingly brave." Hawkeye Mihawk found joy in life again.
He stood up directly.
"What are you doing? Where are you going while we're drinking?"
"I'm no longer interested in you." Hawkeye Mihawk walked away without looking back.
Red Hair was left dumbfounded.
Damn!
...
...
Windmill Village at night.
Luffy's wails of agony could be heard, and the next morning.
Luffy, covered in bumps, had been hung from a tree by Mr. Garp all night.
"Luffy, do you still want to be the Pirate King now?" A refreshed Mr. Garp, after waking up, gestured with his fist at Luffy, who was hanging from the tree.
··········0·········
My loving lesson isn't easy to bear, is it?
"I'm going to be the Pirate King! Grandpa, even if you beat me to death, I'm still going to be the Pirate King!"
Luffy was very stubborn.
Mr. Garp's face darkened.
Why isn't this kid afraid of pain? If he keeps hitting, he's really afraid of beating Luffy to death.
Mr. Garp was exhausted.
Helpless.
He couldn't educate Luffy.
Suddenly, Mr. Garp's eyes lit up; he had an idea.
"Luffy, you actually have an older brother." Mr. Garp thought of Ace.
Since he couldn't educate him.
Then let Ace educate him. An older brother educating a younger brother is sometimes easier and simpler than an elder educating, and an older brother's words and actions can make Luffy more obedient.
"I have an older brother?" Luffy's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I'll take you now. You must remember, you need to learn well from your older brother."
Mr. Garp lifted Luffy by the neck.
And walked into the deep mountains.
"Grandpa, what's my older brother like?" Luffy asked curiously along the way.
"Ace, well... he's very mischievous, very brave, and in the future, he will definitely become the most qualified Marine." Mr. Garp firmly believed this.
..... 0
He believed.
Ace would absolutely not disappoint him.
Ace originally hated the Pirate King; it was impossible for him to dream of becoming the Pirate King like Luffy.
He definitely wanted to become a Marine.
More than an hour later.
Mr. Garp arrived in front of a wooden house in the deep mountains.
"Ah, Mr. Garp is back."
The mountain bandits looked at Mr. Garp in terror and fled in panic.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Garp's old face furrowed, and he grabbed the bandit leader, Dadan.
They were clearly acquaintances.
Why were they running?
Dadan's chubby face showed a fawning smile: "Mr. Garp, I thought it was other Marines looking for me."
Mr. Garp: "You think I'm stupid? You just called out my name. Where's Ace?"
Mr. Garp looked into the house.
No Ace.
"Ace went to play in the mountains." Dadan replied cautiously.
He was extremely scared in his heart.
It's over, it's over.
If Mr. Garp knew that Ace's dream was to become a great pirate, he would definitely kill me.
"I want to become stronger! I want to become a great pirate like Mr. Kevin, who is respected by everyone!"
In the quiet forest.
The shouting of Ace and Sabo could be heard.
It reached Mr. Garp's ears.
He was completely stunned.
"Shanks, Kevin.....I'm going to kill you two!"
...
...
A few days later, Garp was exhausted.
He left, clutching his suffocating, aching chest.
Leaving behind three wide-eyed little brats.
As soon as he left,
the three children started fighting.
"I'm going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King, much stronger than you, Kevin! Hmph, he stole Makino sister, I don't want to be a pirate like Kevin at all."
Luffy said smugly, looking at Ace and Sabo.
His idol in his heart was insulted.
Ace and Sabo exchanged glances.
"Hit him!"
A brutal beating.
"Even if you hit me, I'm going to be the Pirate King, stronger than any pirate, stronger than your Kevin..."
"Hit him!"
"Throw him in the river."
Luffy's tragic childhood began.
It was countless times more miserable than in the original story.
