Pirate: I'm Luffy's uncle

Time passed quickly, and a year had passed since Garp started training the two of them.

The time came to June 1504, 6 in the Haiyuan calendar.

In Gorbo Mountain, there is an open space surrounded by tall trees, which looks like a natural duel ground.

A handsome but powerful young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by broken stones.

Next to the boy was a little boy who was stepping on an unknown species of monkey to show off his victory.

"Uncle, I finally defeated these nasty monkeys!" The little boy, who had begun to have freckles on his face, said happily.

"Very good, then your training tasks will have to change starting tomorrow." The young man who was meditating with his eyes closed opened his eyes and said softly.

"Then can I start practicing the six postures?" the freckled boy asked impatiently.

"Not yet, just wait two more years. What you need to do in practicing the Six Postures is to break the limits of your body. You haven't even grown up yet.

Tomorrow I will arrange a training method that is more suitable for you. Don't be anxious yet. Only by doing it step by step can you lay a solid foundation.

By the way, today is your uncle's birthday, and Maginot specially prepared a sumptuous dinner waiting for us.

Let’s end today’s training early and let’s go home early. "

"Really! That's great! Then I'll go back to Dadan's place to change clothes first." Ace heard that he could go to his home in Windmill Village and ran excitedly to the base where Dadan's family was.

...

Karp only accompanied Tiger in training for the first three days of the special training a year ago.

Three days later, he hurriedly explained Tiger Ace's training plan and left on the warship.

A naval hero always has endless tasks to complete, so that he does not have enough time to cultivate his own offspring.

Between accompanying his family and destroying pirates who are endangering the world and protecting ordinary civilians, Garp chose the latter.

His life always carries out the justice in his heart.

Tiger understood Garp's choice, so he, who was only 14 years old, chose to take over Garp's shoulders and took on the task of teaching Ace during this year.

Without Garp's restraint, Tiger took Ace back to Windmill Village more than once this year, allowing him to experience the warmth of "home".

Although Dadan has been taking care of Ace since he was a child, he can be said to be Ace's adoptive mother.

However, she is just an illiterate bandit. Although she can take care of Ace, she has no ability to educate him.

Ace could not truly feel the warmth of "family" and could not dispel the haze in his heart.

Ever since Tiger brought Ace back to Windmill Village and educated him with Maginot, Ace's smile has been a little brighter every day, and he no longer has a bitter and hateful face all day long.

Under Maginot's gentle guidance, the lawless boy with freckles also learned to be polite to others.

The magnitude of the change made Dadan, an adoptive mother, find it incredible.

...

As Ace returned to Dadan's house, he was waiting at the door to put on the disguise tool specially prepared for him by Tiger.

After disguise, Ace is walking on stilts and wearing a hooded black coat, looking like an adult.

If it weren't for the special investigation by an expert in seeing and hearing, there would be no flaws on the surface, and there would be no clue that he was a four-year-old child.

"Let's go after changing. Don't keep Maginot waiting."

"Hey, I haven't seen her for several days. Let's go faster, uncle." Ace has been in an excited state since he heard that he could go home today.

After saying that, he already ran towards the village without waiting for Tiger to catch up.

"This kid, it's true..." Tiger shook his head helplessly and quickly followed Ace, who had already run away.

The two of them walked in tandem, and it didn't take long for them to return home. After all, it wasn't that far from Dadan's house on the mountain.

What's more, Ace always runs when he's excited. He uses the stilts under his feet so well that they don't affect his forward speed at all.

"Mackino, we are back!"

Maginot, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Ace's voice and stuck her head out to respond: "Ace, brother Tiger, welcome back, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner~"

Maginot, who originally had short hair, grew her hair long at Tiger's suggestion. Within a year, her hair was almost shoulder-length.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and swung behind her head as she moved.

On her white left hand, she wears a delicately crafted silver couple bracelet engraved with Tiger's name. It was a birthday gift that Tiger gave her on her birthday a few months ago.

And another bracelet engraved with Maginot's name is naturally worn on Tiger's right hand.

Tiger looked at Ace jumping to the bathroom, smiled slightly, then entered the kitchen and assisted Maginot from the side.

...

Night fell quietly amid the laughter and laughter of the three people.

The delicious dishes on the table filled Ace and Tiger's appetites, and they kept praising Macchino.

Maginot sat aside and smiled softly, watching the two people wolfing down their food in silence. One moment, he wiped Ace's face full of food, and the next moment, he fed Tiger vegetables he didn't like.

While the three of them were enjoying the happy time happily.

In the windmill village at night, strong winds suddenly began to blow, and heavy rain fell in an instant, sweeping away the summer heat in the village.

In the streets and alleys, villagers who had gone out to enjoy the cool weather began to rush home to take shelter from the rain. The originally lively streets became deserted under the baptism of wind and rain.

"Bang...bang...bang"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and it reached Tiger's ears along with the sound of wind and rain.

"Strange, who is knocking on the door at this time? Dad said he wouldn't be back today..." Tiger thought in confusion.

"You go upstairs first, Ace."

Tiger made arrangements while walking towards the door.

Ace, who was still eating a large piece of barbecue, didn't care about the food in his hands. He stuffed it all into his mouth, covered his bulging mouth with his hands, and ran upstairs.

After confirming that Ace had gone upstairs, Tiger opened the door that had been banging.

The wind and rain outside the door became stronger and stronger, and the moment the door was opened, rainwater was blown in by the strong wind.

A man wearing a gray hooded robe, covering his face, was standing at the door, seemingly holding something in one hand.

The pouring rain seemed to have no effect on the mysterious man outside the door. Not even a trace of rain could be found on him.

"Hello, what's the matter with you?" Tiger looked at the stranger with his face buried in the shadows, and his heart instantly became alert, and his tense body was ready to fight.

"Happy birthday, little brother." The mysterious man raised his head, revealing a face with red "slipper marks", and a half-smile that made him look particularly fierce.

"Big brother?!"
