One Piece Superman One Piece World

At dawn, the sky was dark.

Early in the morning, warships sounded their horns as they left the naval port of Marinford. The seagull flag, symbolizing the headquarters of the navy, was hoisted, fluttering in the wind.

On the deck, Garp and Zephyr stood side by side.

Zefa looked at the slightly dim sea ahead, glanced at Garp beside him, and asked impatiently:

"Can you tell me now?"

"What are you going to do when you go out to sea with me this time?"

"I'm taking the new recruits out to sea for training this time, but the destination has already been determined."

The sailing report that Zefa submitted to Zhan Guo last night has been approved. Early this morning, Zefa personally took the naval academy students out to sea for training.

Their destination was the Boeing Islands. Ever since Tsugakuni Yoriichi had achieved good results in his "seclusion" practice on that island, the island had gradually been used by the navy as a training ground for new recruits.

The island is full of delicacies, so the navy does not need to worry about supplies during training. Moreover, the natural environment on the island is harsh and full of dangers, but as long as the recruits are smart enough, they can survive the eating cycle of the Stomach Baron.

After all, if Usopp, an ordinary person at that time, could survive, it shouldn't be too difficult for the elite students of the Navy Headquarters.

It is precisely because of the various characteristics of the Boeing Islands that this place has become one of the fixed "projects" for navy training.

However, when they set sail this morning, Garp boarded the ship mysteriously and insisted on going with Zefa and the others. Although Zefa didn't know what his old friend was up to, he didn't refuse Garp to board the ship.

It was not until the warship safely left the port that Zephyr asked Garp the reason.

"Nothing special, I just want you to take me to the East China Sea."

"I haven't been back for a long time. I suddenly miss those guys. I want to go back and see them."

Hearing Zephyr's question, Garp smiled brightly and spoke.

"what?"

"Damn it, Boeing Islands and the East China Sea are not on our way!"

"Get off the boat before you get too far from the shore!"

"Take another ship to the East China Sea by yourself, don't come with us!"

Garp's words made Zefa's face change, and he immediately grabbed Garp's sleeve and tried to pull Garp off the ship. But since Garp was already on the ship, how could he just leave like that?

And he had deliberately wanted to be with Zefa!

"Hey, Zephyr, as the chief instructor of the Marine Headquarters, how can you say such inconsiderate words to the supply personnel of the headquarters?!"

"If I were to sail another ship to the East China Sea, I don't know how much manpower and resources would be wasted."

"You're going out to sea anyway, so what's wrong with taking me with you?!"

"Besides, will the training of new recruits be ineffective if they don't go to the Boeing Islands?"

"Don't be so rigid-minded!"

"Instead of taking the Seamless Road, why not take the Upside-Down Mountain? Such an experience will surely be unforgettable for these guys!"

"Hahaha!"

Garp immediately took the moral high ground and pointed directly at Zefa. Seeing that Zefa's face was getting uglier and uglier, Garp put away his joking thoughts, put a hand on Zefa's shoulder, moved closer to Zefa, and whispered:
"Did Yunyi give you two devil fruits before?"

"Two nature-type devil fruits."

"Don't you want to know who he prepared those two powerful natural elements for?"

Zephyr was just thinking about how to throw this guy Garp off the boat, when he suddenly heard Garp say this. Zephyr raised his eyebrows slightly and showed an interested look.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni left two powerful nature-type devil fruits with him, namely the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Thunder Fruit.

With Zefa's vision, he is naturally aware of the great value contained in these two devil fruits. If used well, these two natural types alone can give birth to two admiral-level combat forces for their naval headquarters.

But such a long time has passed, and Zephyr still doesn't know for whom the two devil fruits that Yoshiichi Tsugumi prepared were left.

Hearing what Garp said, Zefa naturally became very interested.

"Who is it?"

Zefa's expression was slightly serious and he asked.

However, at this moment, it was Garp who became a little mysterious. He shook his finger gently, keeping everyone in suspense, and said with a smile: "You will know when you get to the East China Sea."

Seeing Garp's mysterious look, Zefa frowned, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Isn't he preparing this for your grandson?"

"Is that guy crazy?"

Thinking of this guess, Zefa couldn't suppress his anger and cursed directly.

If the nature system prepared by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi is really for Garp's grandson, then as a teacher, Zephyr must correct Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's wrong decision.

It’s not that Garp’s grandson will definitely waste the power of the two natural devil fruits, but Garp’s bloodline will bring huge trouble to their navy.

Long's experience has already told all the senior naval officials that Garp is a messy guy and his son is also a messy guy.

Now that Garp has a grandson, there is no doubt that he will be a troublemaker in the future.

If Garp's grandson received a good education at the Navy Headquarters, he might have been able to "thrive", but Garp's grandson was taught by Garp himself, and such a guy will definitely go astray in the future.

Zephyr has an unusual amount of trust in Garp's ability to mislead young people.
"what?!"

"no no."

"That guy Luffy is still a long way off."

"These are two little brats that Yunyi personally selected. You can also take a look when you go to the East China Sea this time."

"I went back this time to check on the growth rate of those two boys."

When talking about his grandson, even a man like Garp showed a gentle smile on his face. And when Zephyr heard that it was Tsugakuin Yoshiichi who personally selected the owners for the two devil fruits, he felt relieved. At least, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's vision was much better than Garp's.

This can be seen by just looking at the group of friends surrounding Yuichiro Tsugikoku now.

"Little devil."

"Then I really have to look forward to it."

Zefa held the railing with both hands, looking out to sea with a smile on his face.

Windmill Village.

A large red ship nearly 100 meters long was parked in the harbor, with several traces of shelling on its hull. The shipwrights were dragging tools towards the harbor and setting up scaffolding in preparation for repairing the ship.

At this time, all the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates had already gotten off the ship and gathered in the only tavern in the town.

At this moment, Shanks' deafening scream rang out in the tavern:
"What?!" "Did you eat it?!"

In front of the bar, Shanks widened his eyes and looked at Luffy sitting on the bench next to him in astonishment, and the hand holding the wine glass began to tremble slightly.

Next to little Luffy was an empty little wooden box. Under Shanks's gaze, Luffy nonchalantly picked up the juice on the counter and drank it all. Then he smacked his lips and said with some disdain:
"Yes, I ate it."

"I thought it was something delicious that needed to be packed in a treasure chest."

"That fruit is so unpalatable."

Luffy's words made the Red Hair Pirates in the tavern look at him in astonishment. Shanks also heard this and grabbed Luffy's feet, lifted him upside down, and shouted anxiously:

"Spit it out, spit it out!"

"Idiot, that thing is a devil fruit. If you eat it, you will become a landlubber and will never be able to swim in the sea again!"

"You can't become a pirate anymore!"

Shanks shouted anxiously while pulling Luffy hard, wanting Luffy to spit out the devil fruit, but unexpectedly, Luffy's legs suddenly stretched out unconsciously, and little Luffy's body fell to the ground, with his face tightly pressed against the floor.

"Puff--" The crew members of the Red Hair Pirates spat out the wine in their mouths when they saw this scene. Shanks' breathing also stagnated. He stared with his eyes and mouth wide open, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"What?!!"

"Is there no way to become a pirate?"

Luffy's face was pressed against the floor, and he let out a scream belatedly. He turned around and saw his stretched legs, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

There was a sudden chaos in the tavern.

A long time, a long time.

The tavern finally returned to calm, and Luffy finally learned from Shanks what he had eaten.

According to Shanks, what he ate was a devil fruit called the Rubber Fruit. After eating it, his body became like rubber and he could stretch and contract his body freely. However, the corresponding price was that he became a landlubber and could no longer swim from then on.

Not to mention swimming, even if your body touches the sea water, you will have no strength.

Luffy was naturally shocked when he heard the news. When he thought about the fact that he couldn't swim, he ate his meal with a sad face.

After the initial shock and regret, Shanks was forced to accept this reality. Shanks did not tell Luffy the truth about the rubber fruit.

The rubber fruit is actually the Nika fruit.
At Luffy's age, there's no way he could bear such a secret.

There was no way Shanks could imagine what the World Government would do to Luffy if news about the Nika Fruit leaked.

The Red Hair Pirates went out to sea this time because they learned the whereabouts of the Rubber Fruit and went out to steal it. They have been in the East China Sea for so many years with this purpose.

Shanks originally planned to give the rubber fruit to his captain's son. He knew Ace's qualifications. At the same time, Shanks also knew some secrets about Raftel. He believed that if it was Captain Roger's son, he would be able to unlock the real secret of Raftel.

But by mistake, the Nika fruit was eaten by Luffy.
After returning to the island, Shanks's vigilance was indeed greatly reduced, and he was completely defenseless against Luffy, the naive little guy. He didn't notice it until Luffy ate the Nika Fruit, but it was too late at this time.
The matter is done. No matter how much Shanks regrets, it will be of no avail. He can only accept the cruel fact.

At the same time, Shanks's eyes when looking at Luffy also changed slightly.

Originally, Shanks regarded Luffy as his son. After being stationed in Windmill Village for such a long time, Luffy and Uta got along very well and were very close. Shanks also liked the innocent Luffy.

He hopes that Luffy can grow up healthy and healthy. He doesn't need any powerful power, he just needs to be happy, just like what he expects from Uta.

But now, there was a little more expectation in Shanks' eyes when he looked at Luffy.

Shanks also figured it out. The Nika Fruit itself has an unpredictable ability. The World Government has been trying to recover this fruit for many years, but has never succeeded.

Even a strong man like Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, after receiving accurate information about the Nika Fruit, came to the East China Sea to search for it but returned empty-handed.

Now, he has snatched the rubber fruit, but by chance it was eaten by Luffy. I'm afraid that the Nika fruit chose Luffy.

Apart from thinking this way, Shanks couldn't find any other reason to convince himself.

Looking at Luffy who was working hard to eat beside him, Shanks held his chin with one hand and showed a gentle smile on his face. After thinking through these things, Shanks had reconciled with his obsession.

"Luffy, you better do your best!"

Shanks patted Luffy's head lightly and suddenly said something inexplicable. Luffy, who turned his grief and anger into appetite, glanced at Shanks in confusion, still chewing his food, and asked vaguely, "What?"

Shanks didn't answer, but just drank his wine, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

If Luffy eating the devil fruit was the result of fate, then he would carry out the captain's will and guide Luffy well.

"If it were you, would you be able to surpass me and that guy Tsugikoku Yoshiichi?"

Shanks has made up his mind to become Luffy's guide and lead Luffy onto the right path, but Shanks still has doubts in his heart. He can't believe that a kid like Luffy will one day be able to do something that even Yoriichi Tsugakuni can't do.

After all, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni has worked his way up from the beginning of his "debut" to his current high position, and the talent he has displayed is extremely terrifying. Shanks cannot see the so-called talent in Luffy for the time being.

Luffy is an ambitious boy, but if he wants to change the world, that kind of thing alone is far from enough.

For a child of Luffy's age, accidentally eating a devil fruit is just a very small episode in his "happy childhood".

After just one night, he had recovered from the frustration of not being able to swim, and instead began to study the abilities of "rubber" with great interest.

For Luffy, apart from the fact that he can't swim, the fact that he became a rubber man is also very interesting.

His childhood was full of fun.

Days passed one by one, and one day, Luffy experienced a life-and-death crisis as the "King of Bandits", and it was on that day that Shanks left his arm in the East China Sea.

In his words, he was betting his arm on the new era.

That day, Luffy lay in Shanks' arms, his heart-wrenching cries echoing through the sea.

After Shanks lost an arm for Luffy, he stayed in Windmill Village for only a few days before leading the Red Hair Pirates to leave the Goa Kingdom where they had been stationed for several years.

"One day, I will be able to gather partners stronger than you! And find the greatest treasure in the world! I will become the Pirate King."

Luffy, wearing the straw hat that Shanks had left with him, shouted to Shanks with tears on his face, seeing off the Red Hair Pirates as they left the port.

The Red Hair Pirates left, and Luffy's little playmate Uta also left with the ship.

The Nika fruit has been eaten by Luffy. It is meaningless for the Red Hair Pirates to stay in the East China Sea. Shanks is about to start their adventure.
Luffy's life is just like that of many "left-behind children". He began to feel lonely. He had no playmates of the same age in the village. Not long after Shanks and the others left, Luffy couldn't help but start to miss the Red Hair Pirates.

However, his "loneliness" did not last long.

As a large warship docks at the port of Windmill Village, Luffy's life will also change dramatically.

"Luffy, your grandpa is back, why didn't you say hello?!"

Two men in military uniforms walked through the cowboy door and into the tavern. Garp immediately saw Luffy, who was sitting at the bar sipping juice boredly. His loud voice immediately shouted at Luffy, who couldn't help but tremble slightly.
