Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

The golden sunset shines through the dense shade of the trees, casting mottled light and shadows. The vigorous trees bathed in the golden sunset appear particularly majestic and spectacular.

Tired Luffy lay quietly on Garp's broad shoulders and fell asleep peacefully.

Gulu gulu…

A strange sound came from behind Garp. Turning back, he saw that it was Luffy's stomach growling, even though he had fallen asleep.

Glancing tenderly at Luffy on his back, Garp murmured to himself: "Even if you fall asleep from exhaustion, your stomach won't rest."

Luffy on his back tiredly opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the broad and strong figure in front of him.

"You must really hate a horrible grandpa like me!"

"But, Luffy."

"I forced you to undergo such strict training to become a marine because I never wanted you to go astray."

“That’s what I want!”

The famous naval hero, the world's combat power ceiling, such a strong man, but under this golden sunset, he looks so depressed.

"grandfather…"

……

Another beautiful day...

"Hey, Luffy, did you know that when Grandpa came back this time, he met a child on the sea who was the same age as you?"

"The same size as me?" Luffy put away his fist curiously.

"That kid is not only young, but also very strong. He was able to fight me back and forth and even hurt me. This is truly one of the few miracles on the sea!"

"Did you fight back and forth with grandpa?" Luffy's pupils trembled and he was shocked.

Normally when my grandfather and I fight, I get beaten one-sidedly. But he is the same age as me, and he can fight back and forth with my grandfather, and even hurt him?

I'd like to meet...

Just as Luffy was thinking about it, Garp's voice came again.

"Fortunately, that kid isn't interested in pirates, otherwise, he might be the next Pirate King."

One Piece?

"Grandpa Bastard, I'm the man who's going to be the Pirate King."

"Oh!"

"Stop making such idiotic remarks. You are going to be a marine when you grow up."

"Bastard Grandpa..."

"Idiot Luffy..."

A boring farce was once again staged in the forest.

It’s a pity for those towering trees that take decades or even hundreds of years to grow into mature trees.

after a long time...

"By the way, Luffy, the child's name is Yun Yi."

"Come on, Luffy, grandpa will take you to a place."

"Yun Yi?" Holding Garp's iron hand, Luffy touched his head which was hurting from being beaten, and slowly fell behind him.

"I have decided that when I grow up, I will definitely invite Yun Yi to come on board as my partner."

"Luffy!!"

A loud roar was heard again. Then, the pair of palm-leaf fan-sized hands appeared on Luffy's rubber face again.

Tearing at Luffy's rubber face, Garp went berserk.

"You and Ace are going to be great marines when you grow up."

"It's such a failure to leave you in the peaceful Windmill Village..."

"Damn it, I'm already a rubber man, why does it still hurt so much?" Luffy grinned.

"Why are you still a pirate, you bastard!"

"And he's still calling that Red-Haired Shanks his brother. That's outrageous."

"I want to be a strong man like Shanks."

"Little bastard..." Karp said angrily.

……

While playing around, the two finally appeared in front of a simple house.

He knocked heavily on the wooden door in front of him. Garp and Luffy stood quietly outside the door.

Bang bang bang!

"Noisy!"

"That one who doesn't want to live!"

At this moment, the wooden door in front of him suddenly opened, and a plump woman with a cigarette in her mouth came out cursing.

"it's me!"

"Hey, hey? Ka, Mr. Kap!"

Dadan was immediately horrified. As a bandit, he was frightened out of his wits by this terrifying vice admiral.

However, after seeing Karp, Dadan began to refuse the task of taking care of a child.

After a lot of nagging, Garp remained unmoved...

"This one is also for you."

As if he was carrying a little pet, Garp reached out and handed Luffy to Daden.

"Hey, Luffy, say hello."

"Hey!"

"Who is this boy?" A boy with a funny beard, a burly build but looking a little funny asked nearby.

"My grandson."

"well????"

"Mr. Karp's grandson???"

Just as Dadan and the other two were still struggling to "negotiate" with Garp.

On the other side, Luffy, who was wandering around bored, had already received the first gift he had since arriving here.

"Oh, oh!"

He gave me a gift as soon as we met. This little Ace is quite nice.

"Eh? Saliva. Who, who is it?" Luffy looked around.

The camera turned and saw a short freckled boy carrying a dead bison and a bloody water pipe slowly appearing in everyone's sight under the dark shade of the trees.

A pair of gloomy eyes just stared at Luffy quietly.

Looking like a lone wolf.

"you're disgusting."

Luffy, who was slow to react, finally noticed the wetness on his face and angrily went forward to demand an explanation.

"Quick, apologize to me."

"Luffy, this guy is Ace. He's three years older than you. From now on, you'll be living with them."

"Why????"

"How can you act on your own?" Dadan felt extremely sad.

Regardless of Dadan's accusations, Garp said to Ace and Luffy: "You two should get along well from now on."

However, the two little ones didn't seem to understand what Karp meant.

Looking at Luffy who was still grinning, and Ace who had a gloomy face.

Garp had no choice but to punch his grandson first to make him behave himself.

"Eh? Already decided?"

"Is there a problem?"

Facing the bandit Dadan's questioning, Garp just looked serious and at a glance, the three bandits were struck by lightning.

He immediately stood at attention and said, "Leave it to us without any worries."

……

After all, it is a world of pirates. Getting along with Ace and the Dadan pirates is a lot of hardship, such as having no food to eat or falling to the bottom of the valley without anyone caring.

However, for Luffy, this is not a big deal.

Although he disliked bandits because of what happened before, Luffy soon took root perfectly in the Dadan family.

Of course, the work was never done.

These days, Luffy has never been idle. For Luffy, the greatest pleasure every day is fighting with Ace and hanging out with Ace.

Even though I was just following, and getting beaten from time to time, and having to endure some hardship.

Ah! Another beautiful day...

"Ace, be my friend."

"... "

"I don't like talking to the weak." Ace said gloomily from the top of the tree.

"Oh, so if I defeat you, we can be friends?"

Luffy suddenly realized what was going on, so without saying anything, he stretched out his arm and swung it towards Ace's face.

"GO MO GO MO NO!"

Although he had eaten the devil fruit and was not afraid of blunt force wounds, Luffy was three years younger than Ace and was soon beaten to the ground, unable to get up.

"You are too weak."

After throwing Luffy with the steel pipe again, Ace squatted on a huge rock with a gloomy face, quietly watching Luffy who slowly got up from the ground.

"Baga Ace, one day, I will defeat you."

"Defeat me? You're not good enough yet." Ace jumped up, then walked towards the depths of the forest with a melancholy face.

"Ace..." Seeing Ace's arrogant face, Luffy, who was lying on the ground, roared angrily in dissatisfaction.

"Ace, even though you are very powerful, there is a man. Grandpa said that he has a man who is the same age as me, but he is strong enough to fight him and even hurt him."

Can he fight against Garp?

Hearing this, Ace's fast pace stopped for a moment, then he turned his head and said nonchalantly: "I don't believe it, you must be lying."

"It's true! Grandpa said his name is Yun Yi."

Yun Yi?

Keeping the name in mind, Ace ran quickly towards the depths of the forest.

"Ace, wait for me."

Seeing Ace running so fast, Luffy, afraid of not being able to catch up, quickly stood up and followed.

……

"Strange, where is this? Why is there so much garbage?"

"Could this be the terminal of the Uncertainty?"

Looking at the smoke-filled area and the piles of scrap metal, Yun Yi vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a scene in the plot.

Ace Sabo and Luffy became sworn brothers because of something that happened here.

However, Yun Yi couldn't remember what exactly happened.

"Speaking of which, are these news writers born from the same mother? Why do they all like to exaggerate the facts so much?"

Looking at the newspaper he had just picked up from a kind-hearted pirate, Yun Yi felt a headache.

《The mysterious strong man from the East Sea - The navy hero Garp who returned to the East Sea was suspected to have encountered an unmatched strong man and was seriously injured. 》

"Isn't that ridiculous? Old man Garp's fist hasn't even touched me yet, yet it's written that I'm unbeatable."

"These clickbait headlines make me blush."
