Chapter 54 The Chapter Retraction Fruit User
After some explanation, Garp finally understood what was going on with this adorable little guy.
"Haha, it's a ship spirit after all!" Garp laughed loudly. "It really is..."
Before Garp could finish speaking, he suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes widening in shock and snot spurting from his nose.
"A ship...a ship spirit?!"
"Eh!!!"
Garp stared at Merry in disbelief, and the Marines outside were also shocked.
They never imagined that the legendary ship spirit actually existed, and... was so cute?!
"What's wrong, you old geezer? Do you have a problem with that?" Mei Li said.
Clearly, Melie didn't have a good impression of this person who wanted to bully her partner.
"Why would I have an opinion?"
Recovering from his shock, Garp smiled and said, "I was just a little surprised to see a ship spirit for the first time."
I'd only ever heard of such legends before; who's ever actually seen a living ship spirit? But this little girl is so cute...
As Karp stared at Merry, who was glaring at him with a huff, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
"Little girl, how about becoming my granddaughter?" Garp said.
His grandsons are all scoundrels, and if he could have a well-behaved granddaughter, he would feel like he could wake up laughing in his dreams.
"Huh?!!"
Everyone stared at Garp in astonishment, clearly not expecting the old man to say such a thing. What kind of brain circuit could come up with such a question?
"Who wants to be your granddaughter?" Melie said, looking at Karp with disdain.
What's wrong with this old man? Who asks someone to be their granddaughter right off the bat?
Thinking of this, Merry glanced at Luffy, her eyes seeming to say: Hey, Luffy, aren't you going to do anything about your grandfather? Why are you going around claiming granddaughters everywhere?
"There are many advantages to being my granddaughter," Garp tempted. "For example, going to sea with me..."
"Hey, Grandpa!" Luffy immediately interrupted Garp, saying, "How could you steal my crewmate?!"
Luffy glared at Garp; if it weren't for the fact that Garp was his grandfather, he would have lost his temper.
Merry was rescued by Xiyan with great difficulty, and now someone actually wants to kidnap her. Even if it's his grandfather, Luffy can't tolerate it.
"Hey, old man, this joke isn't funny," west Yan said, frowning at Kapu.
He still remembers what Mei Li looked like back then. Now this old man wants to take her away?
That won't work!
"I'm not joking, I really like this little girl very much," Garp said.
That's no lie. This little girl is just too adorable. If she could really be his granddaughter, he could go back and brag about it to that bastard from the Warring States period.
Thinking of this, Garp grinned, as if he could already see Sengoku's furious expression.
(Garp, you bastard, how come you get such a cute granddaughter?!)
west Yan: ......
Looking at Garp, who was grinning to himself, west Yan wondered if the guy was crazy.
"If you really want to take someone away, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Oh?" Garp, regaining his senses, said, "You want to fight me?"
"That depends on your attitude."
Garp didn't answer, he just stared at Xiyan, and Xiyan stared back at him in return, eventually even activating his Sharingan.
"So these are those blood-red eyes...?"
"What do you mean?"
Karp didn't explain, but looked at Mary beside him and said, "Don't worry, little girl, I won't bully him. Put the hammer down."
The little girl took out the hammer again, seemingly intending to hit herself, which left Garp somewhat helpless.
What's with this adorable little girl playing with a hammer?
"You're smart to know what's good for you." Meili snorted and put the small hammer away.
Then, Mary noticed the wall not far away and was momentarily stunned.
"What happened to this wall?" Mary asked, pointing to the broken wall. "It was fine when the three of us left."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention immediately turned to Garp.
"Stare~"
"Huh?" Mary's eyes widened. "You broke it?"
"Hahaha, it was indeed I who broke it," Garp chuckled. "But don't worry, I'll have them fix it."
"Stare~"
Garp: ......
"I'll go right away."
Garp really couldn't get angry at such a cute little girl.
After turning around and stepping outside, Garp looked at the Marines and said, "Gentlemen, your mission has begun."
"Yes, please give the order, Lieutenant General Garp!"
"Oh, it's nothing, just fixing the back wall."
"Huh?!!"
The navy was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this outrageous order.
"Why such a capricious order...? Why did you break it in the first place?"
"Hahaha, because it looks cool enough to go in like that!" Garp laughed, hands on his hips.
They didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with what they were doing.
"So that's the reason..."
"Could you please not be so capricious, Vice Admiral Garp!"
"We can fix it, no problem, but you'll have to help out too!"
"Eh... okay."
In the end, Karp accepted the suggestion and went back into the house with the hammer.
This move really surprised west Yan.
"This old man..."
west Yan looked at Kapu in surprise. This old man seemed surprisingly easy to get along with. He could get along well with his subordinates, so his character must be excellent.
"I will keep an eye on you."
Mary moved a stool over and sat down not far from Garp, swinging her legs as she watched him work.
At first glance, it does indeed have a touch of warmth.
Of course, it would be even better if Garp didn't pick his nose.
"Speaking of which, Luffy, you've met your father, haven't you?" Garp said.
"Father?" Luffy asked in surprise, "I have a father?"
"Of course! Otherwise, do you think you popped out of a rock?" Sanji retorted.
Aside from creatures like Meryl who are born of nature, everyone else has a father, okay? Even he... well, let's not talk about biological fathers.
"What? He didn't acknowledge you?" Garp said in surprise. "I thought he had met you. He said he saw you off in Loguetown."
"Loguetown?"
Luffy tilted his head, clearly not understanding Garp's meaning, while a scene appeared in west Yan's mind.
In Loguetown, when Smoker was chasing Luffy and his crew, he was stopped by a man with tattoos on his face. Otherwise, it would have been a different story whether Luffy and his crew could have set sail at all.
Is that guy Luffy's father?
But... why does the tattoo on his face look so much like a slipper print? Could it be that old man Garp did it?
Thinking about this, west Yan fell into deep thought.
"Who exactly is my father?"
"Ah, his name is Dragon, he's a revolutionary," Garp said.
"Huh?!!!!"
Everyone stared at Garp in shock, especially the Marines outside, who were so shocked they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.
Vice Admiral Garp's grandson... is actually that person's son?
"Ah, is this something we can't talk about?" Garp, realizing what had happened, scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. "Then let's take back what we just said. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
"How is that possible!"
