The next morning, Loya and his three companions arrived at Garp's house and waited until the sun was high in the sky before Garp opened the door, wearing a nightcap.

"Hey, good morning!"

It's almost noon!

All four of them started complaining at the same time.

Garp showed no shame whatsoever, instead laughing at Loya and the others: "Pfft, hahaha, young people are just too impatient."

"."

Loya's forehead veins bulged.

He had been standing outside the door for hours, and his temper was flaring up. If it weren't for his respect for the elderly and care for the young, he would have given this old guy a good beating.

Can you be a little more reliable?

After quickly tidying up, Karp went out and headed north towards Mount Colbo.

"follow me!"

"Yes."

Several people followed quickly.

Half an hour later, deep in the Colpo Mountains.

Luffy and Ace are training for a battle.

"Rubber rubber!"

Luffy shouted "Gum-Gum!" and swung his arm behind him, instantly stretching his short arm to more than ten meters!

"pistol!"

Under the reaction force of the contraction, the rubber fist shot towards Ace with incredible speed, like a bullet.

"Luffy, your attacks are still the same old straightforward!"

Ace simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging a punch that could shatter rocks, then raised his hand to grab the rubber arm and spun around like a windmill.

"Ahhh~~"

The boy's screams startled a large number of birds.

After spinning around a dozen times, Ace roared and leaped up, swinging Luffy and slamming him hard into the ground!

"boom!"

The ground is shattered!

Luffy's upper body was embedded in the ground. If an ordinary person suffered such a severe injury, they would be seriously injured even if they did not die. However, Luffy, who has rubber properties, only felt a little dizzy.

However, his head got stuck.

"Um~"

Luffy kicked his legs frantically like a frog.

I'm suffocating!

"Wow!"

Someone pulled him out.

Luffy gasped for oxygen, about to thank Ace for saving him, when he heard a familiar laugh.

"Pfft, hahaha, this is my grandson."

grandfather? !

Luffy was so shocked he almost lost his voice.

His grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, was the most dangerous person in the world, and he had lost count of how many times he had almost died at his grandfather's hands.

Garp, carrying Luffy, grinned.

"From now on, you will cultivate together with my two grandsons."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Garp."

Loya glanced at Luffy, then turned his gaze to Ace, who was not far away, and his eyes narrowed.

Very strong!

Considering the time frame, Luffy is only 13 years old, and his body hasn't fully developed yet. Even if he ate the strongest Nika Fruit, he couldn't possibly be that strong.

Ace, at 16, looks no different from an adult, yet already possesses considerable strength.

Not only was it an innate talent, but the other person had also been honing their skills in this forest since they were very young, never slacking off.

Ace walked over, staring intently at Loya.

"Grandpa, who is he?"

"Let me introduce you."

Garp patted Loya on the shoulder, chuckling and egging him on: "This kid is Major Loya from Branch 153, he's pretty strong."

"A naval lieutenant commander?"

Ace looked at Loya in surprise.

A naval lieutenant commander is nothing special. Every time Grandpa came back, he had a lot of officers and colonels under his command, but it was rare to see a lieutenant commander of his age.

Is this guy very strong?

Ace couldn't contain himself, his eyes filled with provocation. The lack of worthy opponents around him was his biggest worry, and he had long yearned to fight against strong people outside.

"A fight?"

"it is good."

Loya tore off his cloak.

He didn't expect Garp to guide him step by step, nor was that realistic. Having Ace as a sparring partner was already top-tier treatment.

Let him see what it's like.

"Finbuddy, Zango, you two go and practice with that rubber boy."

"clear."

After giving the order, Loya walked towards an open space not far away. Without a word, Ace followed.

Loya didn't draw his knife, and Ace put down his iron pipe. The two faced off unarmed, and at the next bird's cry, they charged at each other simultaneously.

"Oh!"

Their arms collided violently!

Evenly matched.

Having initially tested the opponent's strength, Loya and Ace simultaneously retreated to create distance before charging at each other again.

Loya stomped his left foot forward while simultaneously drawing his right fist to his waist. As Ace entered his attack range, Loya swung his right fist upwards with all his might towards Ace's face!

"So fast!"

Ace leaned back sharply, his fist grazing his nose, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Using the backward leaning posture, kick your right foot out from below and upward!

"Snapped!"

Loya pulled his abdomen back, his free left hand pressing down on Ace's calf, his toes only a finger's distance from Ace's chest.

Both of them were very quick in their attacks and reactions!

"It's not over yet!"

Ace used his waist to twist his body, and his other foot swept in a large circle towards Loya's neck.

Loya didn't stop either. He swung his right fist to defend and block Ace's kick. At the same time, he grabbed Ace's ankle with his left hand and hurled him towards a large tree not far away!

"Oh!"

The tree trembled violently.

Ace slid down from a height of four or five meters with his back pressed against the tree trunk. His back was burning with pain, and his internal organs were also throbbing.

Loya raised his arm; the spot where he had been kicked was bruised and swollen. If it had been an ordinary marine, that kick would have broken his arm.

So strong.

Despite being a complete novice who had never truly honed his skills at sea, he was able to easily keep up with his movements and launch effective counterattacks.

Given time, it will surely soar to great heights.

Loya clenched his fist.

Whether for their own sake or for the honor of Branch 153.

He cannot lose this battle!
