One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 214 Ambush at Upside Down Mountain
"Hahahaha, guys, we won the jackpot!"

On the Grand Line, above the waters near Alabasta, on the edge of a floating island ship, the Golden Lion fixed his sights on a warship from a distance of a thousand meters.

There was a carved dog head on the front of the warship, and the whole ship was extremely huge. There were many marines patrolling and training on it.

A middle-aged man wearing a dog-head hat was lying on a beach chair. He was wearing flowery shorts and loose clothes, with various snacks and cola in his hands, and he was enjoying the food.

A shadow loomed over the ship, but he was unaware of it, thinking it was just clouds blocking the sun.

"That, that's the warship of the navy hero Garp!"

"Boss Shiqi, is this the grand prize you are talking about?"

"Yohoho, there is only one warship nearby, and the nearest G-Team base is full of rubbish. After this job, the boss's bounty will definitely exceed that of all pirates!"

"Give the order, Captain! This is a rare opportunity. The day for us to make a name for ourselves has come!"

Officers with different appearances began to gather around Shiki. Most of them were former crew members of the Rocks Pirates, who had been following Shiki since they were recruited.

Although their eyesight is not as good as that of the Golden Lion, they can still see the iconic dog head on the warship.

"Hahahaha, the first lesson to kill prey is to learn to wait and watch the direction. Their destination should be Upside Down Mountain. I'm going to choose that place as Garp's burial place!"

Shiki said calmly, then used the power of his fruit to control the island ship to hide in the clouds, hanging tightly behind Garp's warship.

If I can successfully kill Garp, Roger, you will definitely agree to join forces with me to dominate the world, right?
As he was thinking this in his heart, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the two swords, Ying and Ku Mu, at his waist.

The previous New World War and the experiences of this year made him realize one thing: he could not form a team on his own like Rocks did.

In order to achieve his dream, he must win over a right-hand man to emulate Rocks in the past and use force to bring those who disobey him into his fleet.

And the candidate for Ski is neither Newgate, who was once both an enemy and a friend, nor Charlotte Linlin, who came to have a baby, nor some old guy who has retired or is buried.

It was Roger! The man who teamed up with Garp to defeat Rocks!

Shiki thinks that if he can win over Roger to join forces with him, they will be able to create a pirate fleet that is even larger than the Rocks Pirates! Announce to the world the birth of a new overlord!

And he has already planned the first step on how to win over Roger!
Killing his former "partner" Garp and proving to him that he is the better choice!

As for the second step...put it on hold for now, it is still being planned.

"Woohoo! Long live Boss Ski. Our target is the Navy hero Garp. If you kill him, my bounty will double!"

"Ahahaha, don't you see how you act? The one who kills Garp will definitely be Boss Ski! Our opponents are those marines!"

"Spread the word, let everyone be prepared for battle, and let the navy have a taste of what it's like to fall into the Twin Gorges! We're going to give the fallen dog a good beating!"

"Kill Garp, make a fortune, long live Boss Shiki!"

"Boss Shiki is the strongest! We are about to witness the fall of a legend!"

"This kind of thing makes my bladder quiver with excitement! Witnessing the battle between legends in person would be worth it even if I died!"

“It’s worth dying for!”

“It’s worth dying for!”

…………

The pirates in the sky were rubbing their hands in excitement, and on the warship sailing on the sea, a tall purple-haired figure slowly walked out of the room and onto the deck.

Behind Zefa were Sakaski and others, and Borsalino was clumsily rubbing his fingernails with a sanding board.

To be honest, this is much more interesting than cutting fingernails. Teacher Ross really knows how to enjoy it. I heard that he was a street scoundrel who traveled around the world when he was young.

I really envy such financial resources and dreams.

When he retires, he will definitely follow his teacher's example and travel around the world. Well, it would be more fun to just walk and row.

"Karp, did something just pass by us? I have a bad feeling."

Zephyr came to Garp and spoke slowly.

He always had a feeling that he was being watched, starting from a few minutes ago, but his observation Haki did not detect any ships with malicious intentions in the nearby waters.

It was probably because the other party was too far away, so he brought Sakaski and others up.

This ship of theirs holds at least half of the future backbone of the navy, and they cannot lose it because of carelessness.

Although they are strong enough to conquer the New World with the help of these two generals, the sea needs to be revered from the bottom of one's heart and one must be careful at all times!
"Ah? Really?"

After swallowing the donut, Cap sat up in shock, looking around exaggeratedly as he spoke.

Finally, he scratched his head and looked at Zefa with a puzzled look on his face and said:

"Where? Where is the enemy?"

"How could I have such a...father?"

Long helplessly covered his face in front of his friends, turned away in shame, and didn't dare to watch the scene that happened next.

He swore that sooner or later he would make his father realize his mistakes!
"Don't worry, Mr. Karp is just a little bit nervous. At least you still have a father who can take care of you. Look at me, I don't even have parents. Only Master Ross who took me in is willing to give me a little help."

Sakaski smiled and patted Long's shoulder. His resolute face didn't look good when he smiled, but it made people feel particularly at ease.

Long became even more discouraged. Teacher Ross was extremely kind to Sakaski. Although they were not foster father and son, they were like father and son.

Unlike his father, if he gets lost he would have to ask someone to find him, and he would even forget where he lost himself.

Is this really the behavior of a father?
I also want an expensive godfather. My requirements are not high. I would be satisfied if he gave me 100,000 Baileys pocket money every month.

"Oh, oh, relax, Long-san. Although Mr. Garp is not very serious at ordinary times, he is still very reliable at critical moments."

"have you seen?"

"Tsk, you poor kid is hopeless."

Borsalino shook his head. Garp was just a few meters ahead of them. He couldn't agree with Long's complaints in front of others, right?

There's nothing wrong with saying something nice.

It's just that Long didn't seem to realize this. Well, Mr. Cap has already raised his fist, but it's better not to remind Long.

With this in mind, Borsalino put away the grinding board for his nails. With a flash of golden light, he reappeared with a full teacup in his hand.

After taking a sip of black tea with sugar cubes in it, I heard a loud bang in the air, followed by the sound of a stone hitting a walnut.

"Boom!"

With the dark armament color wrapped around his fist, Garp punched the dragon hard on the head, smashing his entire body into the deck, with his head embedded under the deck like an ostrich when it is scared.

"What the hell are you doing! It's time to change the pot of rice again. It's still lunch time. The sacred meal cannot be disturbed!"

In the ship's restaurant, the chef ran out of the kitchen, holding a soup spoon and yelling at the dragon whose head stuck out of the ceiling.

The crumbs went deep into the curry rice bucket, of which only one-third was left. He looked at the food with a look of heartache on his face, then angrily threw the spoon at the dragon's head!

"For the sacred lunch!" "Brothers, throw him! I haven't eaten yet, and a pot of curry rice takes half an hour to prepare!"

"Marines, stand up! It's time to protect the food!"

The mess hall was in turmoil following the chef's projectile. All the marines picked up the empty plates and cutlery and threw them at the dragon's head on the ceiling.

Some people who knew Long left quietly, or silently took out their video Den Den Mushi to record the scene, intending to laugh at it later.

Let’s not talk about the dragon who was still pulling onions. On the deck, Zephyr covered his face in embarrassment, not knowing how to say good things about Garp.

After all, Long is the other party's biological son, and he and Garp are just acquaintances, so his power to intervene between the two is limited.

He could only take this as a negative example, reminding himself not to let the relationship with his son develop into this state.

Will we really not become enemies?
"Forget it. We'll soon reach Upside Down Mountain. Get ready to ride the reverse current. Borsalino, Sakaski, the task of cleaning up is up to you."

Garp's vehicle was very large, and the reverse current of Upside Down Mountain was not spacious enough, barely enough for the giant warship to pass through.

This is one of the reasons why the viceroyal warships could not be larger, they could have carried more firepower, and were bigger and more powerful.

It is actually not difficult to pass through the reverse current of Upside Down Mountain. It is like an automatic walkway and there is no danger at all.

The reason why most people around the world call it the Death Walkway and dare not treat it as a general road section is because of the reefs and shipwreck debris.

The upstream current never stops, and if a small boat sailing above encounters even a small piece of broken shipwreck debris, an accident may occur.

For example, bottom leakage caused the hull to shift and hit more and more debris of the sunken ship.

Those reefs are like traps, waiting for the ships that are gradually losing water and sinking to the bottom, and then giving them a fatal blow.

Of course, this kind of difficulty is indeed very troublesome in a place like Sihai, which is more relaxed than Paradise, but for Sakaski and others, it can only be regarded as a dirty and tiring job.

"Huh? I just poured you some tea, and you still need to savor it. You haven't even had time to enjoy today's refreshments yet."

Borsalino complained casually, causing Zefa beside him to shake his head repeatedly with a look of disgust on his face.

Zefa recognizes every one of his students, including Borsalino, but he really doesn't like the other's personality and behavior.

But everyone has their own flaws, so after he said it a few times and it didn't work, he stopped caring. Fortunately, Borsalino, like Cap, knew his limits.

Well, before they had absolute strength and voice, they were actually quite reliable.

"Let's go, let's go clean up the garbage first. You take me over and I'll take care of the rest. The sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."

Sakaski snatched the cup from Borsalino's hand and placed it on the small table where Cap had placed his snacks.

The latter shrugged, and then his hands shone with golden light.

"Golden rope!"

Borsalino's hands turned into golden ropes and wrapped around Sakaski's arms. Then his whole body turned into elements and pulled upward, carrying Sakaski towards the Upside-Down Mountain at a speed of hundreds of meters per second.

five minutes later……

The two men returned the same way. Sakaski's short hair fell back as if it had been combed, like the steel needles on the back of a hedgehog. His seagull hat had already been tightly grasped in his palm.

"Mission accomplished. I sank or discarded all the wreckage on the currents on both sides."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakaski. Would you like a cup of black tea? I just made it."

"What about me? What about me? Teacher Zefa?"

"Don't you have one?"

Zefa pointed to the black tea that was almost cold and was placed still on the small table.

"But it's already cold!"

"Can't you just go and soak it again yourself?"

"Ah... What a bad teacher who discriminates. He's nothing like Mr. Ross... Alas, Mr. Zephyr, please don't do anything!"

…………

"The Pikachu Fruit? If I remember correctly, it's called Borsalino, right? That damn student in the Navy's elite training camp, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."

Borsalino and Sakaski's actions were undisguised, so it was normal for Shiki to see them. He said to himself:
“They are just some brats. They were lucky to have survived last time. But this time… Hahahaha!”

Golden Lion still remembers the previous defeat. Although he doesn't know why these students appeared on Garp's ship, shouldn't they be playing guerrilla warfare with Zephyr in the New World?
But it doesn’t matter. It just so happens that I let them live a little longer last time, so I’ll just make up for it this time.

It’s time to let them understand that their last survival was due to luck, not their own abilities!

"Boss Shiki, we are still 20 miles away from Upside Down Mountain. Do we need to set up an ambush in advance?!"

“Hahahahaha, I’m the Golden Lion! Ambush? What I want is to crush you head-on!”

Shiqi laughed and opened his arms to face the vast sky, with a big sun hanging in the sky behind him.

He clenched his fists and then pulled hard.

"Boom~"

There was a subtle surging sound coming from the sea of ​​clouds.

In the distance, islands were controlled by the golden lion and pulled over, floating around the island ship, and the same was true for small pirate ships.

Seeing this, the pirates all shouted and rushed towards the pirate ships that were floating around the island ship, waving their weapons and shouting the name of the Golden Lion.

-----

"Who's over there? Shiki! And Garp and the others, humph, you are really an old lion, you can replace your blind eyes, but this time you must die here!"

In the distance, the cloud driven by Ross slowly stopped. He looked at the islands floating above the clouds. His whole body turned into mist and dissipated into the air to avoid exposing his whereabouts and alerting the enemy.

This time we have him, Garp, and Zephyr!
Golden Lion? He will never come back!
　What is regret?

　　I say:

　　Let me borrow two ounces of ink from the world, and write a lonely shadow by the river, looking forward to the lights.

　　Gu Shao Shilong was timid and only dared to paint the beautiful woman Qiu Luoluo.

　　If I were young and thirty-seven years old, I would leave without disturbing you and see Lan Shuo alone.

　　Today I am going to throw away my silver, but I only hear the singing of old friends.

　　What is a scumbag?

　　I still say:
　　The beauty of the past is now my friend, a little bit of wind and frost, a little bit of wine.

　　He Han sits and fishes for carp in the pond, looking back he sees the Yellow River full of flags.
