Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 397 New Allies
The windless belt in the first half of the Great Route, Amazon Lily of Daughter Island

Luffy is sitting alone on the grass in a jungle with his eyes closed. The bandages on his body have been removed, but there is still an X-shaped scar on his chest
Luffy has been trying his best to improve his strength for the past few days. He is now cultivating his knowledge, closing his eyes and using his knowledge to feel the breath of all life around him.
"Ok?"

Luffy suddenly made a suspicious sound, because someone stepped into his range of knowledge and knowledge, and it was a person he was very familiar with

Luffy opened his eyes, a young man with yellow hair stood not far from him and greeted him with a smile

"Yo, Luffy"

Seeing the person in front of him, Luffy stood up suddenly, and said in surprise:

"Sabo!"

But soon Luffy thought of what Sabo said to him when he just woke up a while ago, and lowered his head in disappointment
Sabo sighed when he saw Luffy's appearance.

"Oh~ You are still mad at me for what happened last time."

Luffy shook his head when he heard Sabo's words.
"No, I'm not mad at you"

Sabo walked to the grass next to Luffy and sat down, then reached out and patted the grass to signal Luffy to sit down, Luffy hesitated and sat next to Sabo, after Luffy sat down, Sabo pointed to Luffy The wound on the chest asked:
"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore"

"It doesn't hurt"

After speaking, the two fell into an eerie silence.

"I'm sorry, Luffy"

Suddenly Sabo broke the silence, Luffy looked at Sabo in surprise when he heard Sabo's words, Sabo looked at Luffy and smiled, and continued:
"What I said to you last time was too much, I'm sorry"

Luffy quickly waved his hand
"You don't need to apologize to me. I'm not angry with you. No, I should apologize to you. If I wasn't impulsive, I wouldn't..."

"Luffy!"

Sabo suddenly interrupted Luffy, Luffy looked at Sabo suspiciously, Sabo lowered his head and said:

"Luffy, in fact, you don't have to keep blaming yourself for Kamabaka's matter. In that case, even if you are not impulsive, even if you try your best to retreat and escape from the beginning, the situation will not be much better."

"But..."

Luffy still felt very guilty, Sabo interrupted Luffy again and said:

"Your impulsive behavior at that time was indeed very irrational, but I actually have no right to criticize you. I did not cause trouble for Mr. Dorag, and even implicated Ace"

Speaking of this, Sabo laughed at himself, Luffy looked at Sabo in confusion
Sabo sighed. When Glenn and Kaido fought three years ago, he refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on seeking revenge from Glenn. As a result, Ace lost Glenn's three islands. Later, Glenn's pursuit of revenge led to the revolutionary army Tell me about the destruction of Baldigo headquarters

Luffy was a little stunned after listening to Sabo's narration, but he had never heard Sabo say these things before.

"So actually, the reason why I said those exaggerated things to you that day was because Mr. Dorag's death made me very upset, and the second was because you were still impulsive and wanted to go out to find Glenn. My own feeling, there is another kind, emmm, the feeling of hating iron but not steel, can you understand me when I say this?"

Luffy nodded half understanding
"clear"

"However, I think you will definitely not be as impulsive now as you were then."

Luffy nodded firmly
"Absolutely not"

Seeing Luffy's appearance, Sabo knew that he had forgotten the unhappiness of the previous few days. Sabo smiled happily and said to Luffy:
"Luffy, I actually brought you a surprise when I came back this time."

"What surprise?"

Luffy looked at Sabo suspiciously, Sabo smiled mysteriously, stood up and patted his butt
"follow me"

Luffy scratched his head, stood up and followed Sabo

Sabo took Luffy all the way to the door of the restaurant in the Hancock Palace. Luffy looked at the door in front of him and looked at Sabo suspiciously. He couldn't be more familiar with this place because he would come here to eat every day.

"Sabo, why did you bring me here, did you surprise me with food?"

Sabo shook his head, and slowly opened the door of the restaurant
Luffy looked into the restaurant suspiciously, there were many acquaintances in the restaurant, people from the Straw Hat Pirates, Ace, Kerra, Hancock and her two younger sisters, but none of these aroused Luffy's suspicion. Notice that there are three people sitting with their backs to the door in the restaurant, he pointed at one of them and cried out in surprise

"what!"

Hearing Luffy's exclamation, all the people in the restaurant looked at the door, and the person pointed at by Luffy also turned his head. His mouth was full of food. After seeing Luffy, he put the food in his mouth. Swallowed it, grinned, and disappeared in the seat

"The Iron Fist of Love!"

The person who surprised Luffy was Garp. With Garp's shout, he appeared beside Luffy and punched Luffy hard on the head.

"Pain Pain"

Luffy covered his head and screamed in pain, then raised his head and looked at Garp in a daze
Garp was very dissatisfied with Luffy's reaction, and said loudly to Luffy:
"I don't know how to say hello when I see grandpa. He is such an old man, why he hasn't made any progress at all. Look at me..."

While speaking, Garp raised his fist again, but before he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly hugged Garp and began to cry:
"Grandpa! Dad, Dad, died, woo~ he did it to save me, woo~ yes, yes, sorry"

Luffy has never cried since he learned of the death of Dorag. He tried his best not to worry anyone, forced a smile, and worked hard to improve his strength. But when he saw Garp, the only relative, Lu Fei Fei couldn't hold back any longer, and cried out all the sadness and remorse in his heart to Karp
"Luffy..."

Seeing the sobbing Luffy, Garp squeezed his heart hard, slowly let go of his fists raised in mid-air, gently hugged Luffy, patted him on the back, tears glistened in his eyes, With a loving face, he said:
"It's okay, it's okay"

"what!!!"

Luffy grabbed Garp's clothes tightly with both hands, leaned his face on Garp's chest, and cried with all his strength. He had been suppressed for too long.

Seeing Luffy's appearance, other people in the restaurant lowered their heads silently and wiped their tears. Luffy cried for a long time before stopping. Garp took him to the table and sat down. Luffy was still sobbing.

After Luffy and Garp sat down, Sabo also found a seat and sat down. After taking a deep breath to relieve his mood, he said:
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start, Luffy, listen too, don't lower your head"

"Oh"

Luffy answered when he heard Sabo's words, slowly raised his head, and turned to look in Sabo's direction, but after raising his head, Luffy caught a glimpse of two old people sitting beside Garp, a man and a woman, They all have white hair, the woman looks like an ordinary old woman, the man has a beard tied into a braid on his chin, his hair is a round afro, and he also wears a pair of small round shorts. Glasses

Seeing these two old men, Luffy stood up suddenly, pointed at the old man and shouted in surprise:

"Ah! You, you, aren't you the Warring States period, aren't you the admiral of the navy, why are you here, are you here to catch us?"

One of these two old men is Sengoku and the other is Crane. Seeing Luffy's surprised look, Sengoku smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, we're here to get you"

"Really, rubber rubber..."

Luffy raised his arm and was about to do it as he said, completely missing the sadness before, but before he finished calling out the name of the move, Garp beside him grabbed Luffy's arm and dragged him to sit on the chair , then punched Luffy hard on the head
"Be honest with me, can you use your brain, if we really come to arrest you, is it possible for the people in this room to sit and eat together in such a peaceful way! Listen to Sabo!"

Luffy looked at the people in the restaurant, and he didn't seem worried about Sengoku and others at all. Luffy thought about it carefully, so he rubbed his head, looked at Garp aggrievedly and said "oh", Sit obediently on a chair and listen to Sabo's speech

Sabo looked at Luffy and helplessly sighed
"Lu Fei, didn't you just say that you would never be impulsive again? Why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

"sorry"

"Oh~ forget it"

Sabo waved his hand, he also knows what kind of character Luffy is, and it is not a matter of overnight for him to change
"Sabo!"

At this time Ace suddenly called Sabo, Sabo turned to look at Ace, Ace pointed to Sengoku and Crane and asked:

"When you and Luffy didn't come just now, they said they came to help us. What's going on? Old man Garp can say that he is also the grandfather of me and Luffy. I can believe him, but the other two , even if they are retired now, they were all well-known admirals in the past, but we are all repeat offenders, can we trust them?"

Ace was almost killed by the war on the top of the Warring States before, and Whitebeard's death really counted as a great responsibility for the Warring States, so Ace didn't trust the Warring States very much, and even shot directly when he first saw the Warring States Already, if Garp hadn't stopped him, he would have fought Sengoku to the death

"this..."

Just as Sabo was about to explain, Crane suddenly interrupted Sabo
"Let me explain"

Sabo nodded
"it is good"

Then Crane spoke to Ace and said:

"It's normal that you don't trust us. In fact, we have been retired for so long, and we don't want to get involved in the disputes of this world, especially with you group of wanted criminals. As you said, even if we retire, we used to It's also the navy, and we don't want to be with you"

ace frowns
"Then you are?"

"I don't need to say why Karp came here. He wanted to avenge his son. There were two reasons why Sengoku and I came. One was for Karp's sake. He begged me to come out with Sengoku of"

Karp immediately protested when he heard Crane's words:

"Hey, hey, I didn't cry and beg you, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

But Crane continued to say as if he didn't hear Garp's words:

"The second reason is more complicated. The three of us left the navy when we felt tired because of the changes in the world government. We always thought that from Glenn's resignation from the navy to the new world's suppression plan, it was the new leader of the Tianlong people who Monis's conspiracy, but there is a saying that those who are in the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders. After I left, Sengoku and Marshal Sora felt that there were some unusual things in the previous events. In the end, we came to a terrible conclusion that the world government actually Timonis is not the one in charge, she is just a puppet, and it is the Fire Dragon Pirates who control her behind her."
