One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

In response, Luffy looked at Ace and the others and spoke earnestly.

"it is good!"

Over the course of nearly a year, Ace and the others had come to understand Luffy's temperament and gradually accepted him. Now, with Luffy's offer, they agreed without much thought.

So...

Instead of Shanks and his Red-Haired Pirates, the Marines led by Garp were heading towards them...

Instead, it's Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina, along with Ace, Hathaway, and Amuro, the offspring of the Figarand family.

"Luffy! Is that you?!"

When Garp saw Luffy running towards him, a look of excitement flashed across his face. He opened his arms and shouted to Luffy, "Come into Grandpa's arms! Let Grandpa take a good look at you! It's been a year since we last saw each other. How tall have you grown now?!"

"grandfather……"

In response, Luffy strode up to Garp and looked at him with a serious expression.

After a year, thanks to the effects of Char's nutritional supplements, seven-year-old Luffy has grown to nearly 1.7 meters tall. If nothing unexpected happens, by the time Luffy is seventeen, his height will likely catch up with Garp's, or even surpass him.

"Hahaha……"

"Luffy, you've become really strong now!"

"With your strength, you could certainly become a qualified naval soldier."

After seeing Luffy's robust physique, Garp was relieved. He had initially thought that with the beastly Xia Yasheng in front and the great pirate Shanks behind, Luffy would be mistreated by these bad people and would suffer from malnutrition and not grow tall. Now it seemed that he had worried too much. Sure enough, the bloodline of the Monkey family was excellent.

Then, Garp looked at Ace and the others behind Luffy and said with satisfaction, "I see, Luffy, you've made friends too?! Seeing how excellent your friends are, I'm relieved. You and your friends will definitely become qualified Marine soldiers."

Garp glanced at Ace and the others and immediately recognized their potential. His expression shifted slightly as he thought to himself, "Are all kids these days monsters?! How can they all grow so strong?! If all these kids joined the Navy, its future strength would swell to an absurd level! At that time, the Navy might actually be able to break free from the influence of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons and become a truly righteous force that fights to protect the weak and for true justice."

"Luffy's grandfather looks very kind!"

"It's not as terrifying as he described..."

"After all, this old man in front of us is a hero who fought for us Celestial Dragons and indirectly saved my father in the Great Battle of God Valley! It's normal for him to be kind."

Meanwhile, Ace and the others were also observing Garp. They did not find Garp to be as terrifying as Luffy had described.

"Suck……"

Just as Ace and the others were discussing Garp's appearance...

Standing before Garp, Luffy, Garp's grandson, first took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then looked at Garp and shouted, "Grandpa! I don't want to be a Marine anymore! I want to become the Pirate King, or join CP0, the World Government's highest intelligence agency, and become the strongest shield protecting the Celestial Dragons!"

"..."

As Luffy revealed his feelings to Garp...

The entire scene immediately fell silent.

Garp, who had been laughing heartily and looking like a kind grandfather, stopped smiling and looked at Luffy with a serious expression. He asked in confusion, "Luffy, what did you just say? You said you didn't want to be...? Grandpa is getting old these days, and my hearing isn't what it used to be. Recently, I've even become intermittently hard of hearing, so I couldn't hear what you said clearly! Do you want to say it to Grandpa again? This time you can speak a little slower. You must think it through before you tell Grandpa!"

"Grandpa! I don't want to be a Marine anymore, I want to be the Pirate King and CP0!"

Luffy mustered his courage and looked at Garp, once again expressing his feelings.

"Boom..."

Unfortunately, before Luffy could even speak, Garp's iron fist had already slammed into Luffy's face!

In an instant, Luffy shot through the sky like a cannonball, like an arrow piercing through the clouds, and then, like a meteor falling from the sky, he plummeted towards the back mountain of Windmill Village!

"Luffy, how dare you tell Grandpa that you don't want to be a righteous Marine anymore?!"

Do you know how much pain Grandpa is in?!

"Grandpa is very disappointed in you!"

Garp looked at Luffy, who had been sent flying by his punch, and spoke with an air of dominance.

"what……"

When Ace and the others saw Luffy being blasted away by Garp's punch, they were all dumbfounded. Their jaws dropped, and they exclaimed in disbelief, "Luffy is dead! He was killed by his grandfather!"

"How dare you lay a hand on my underlings just because we disagreed!"

"Don't you know that Luffy is under my protection?!"

"Even if you are Luffy's grandfather, you have no right to lecture Luffy without my permission!"

Ace watched as Luffy was sent flying, his pupils contracted slightly, and then he went straight to Garp and roared at the old man with graying temples.

"Heh, you've got quite the nerve, kid..."

"After seeing this old man, how dare you be so arrogant..."

Garp looked Ace up and down, then raised an eyebrow slightly. He felt a strange sense of familiarity with Ace's appearance. With that, Garp crossed his arms and asked Ace, "Tell me, whose child are you? I've never seen you in this village before."

"Of course you haven't seen me before, because I'm not from this village..."

"My name is Ace, Figarand Ace Saint! I am the eldest son of Figarand Char Aznable, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces. As a descendant of the Creator of the World and a member of the Great Celestial Dragons, this is my first time traveling from the Holy Land Mary Geoise to the mortal realm..."

"And another thing! Since I came to this lower realm, you're the first person to make me feel uncomfortable! No matter who you are, whether you're a naval hero or not, no matter how powerful your background or how glorious your achievements, you will pay the price for this..."

Ace glared at Garp and said angrily.

"Oh?! So you're Ace..."

When Garp heard Ace introduce himself, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As one of those in the know, Garp naturally knew Ace's true identity—the posthumous son of the Pirate King Roger. However, Garp seemed unwilling to tell Ace this. After sizing Ace up and down, he asked with a mocking tone, "So, you, this noble Celestial Dragon young master, what exactly do you plan to do with this old man who has displeased you? Are you going to notify the Marine Admirals to arrest me, or are you going to have all those CP0 agents behind you swarm me and take me down?!"

"Are you kidding me?! Who do you think I am?"

“I’m a child of the Figarand family, not one of those good-for-nothings living in the Holy Land who just loaf around all day and then call the navy or special agents to solve any crisis they encounter…”

"If I can't even handle an old codger like you, how am I supposed to protect my underlings in the future?!"

As Ace spoke, his body erupted in endless flames. The terrifying flames startled the Marines behind Garp, who instinctively retreated.

"This child is a Devil Fruit user, and among all Devil Fruit users, he is the strongest and rarest, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user..."

Some well-informed marines have already recognized Ace's abilities.

"Old man, take this! Fire Fist!!"

As Ace spoke, his arm instantly transformed into a giant fire fist with a diameter of over ten meters, which charged straight toward Garp's body.

"Lieutenant General Garp..."

From the moment the firelight illuminated half the sky...

In an instant, all of Garp's subordinates looked at him with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"Kid, you're still too green!"

"Save this flame for your father to light his cigar!"

Garp grinned, unleashing countless black lightning bolts of Haki from his body, shattering Ace's fiery fist into pieces! He then flashed to Ace's side and delivered a powerful punch to Ace's face: "Fall from the Seabed!!"

"What?! How could this old guy be so fast?"

Ace stared in shock as Garp appeared before him as if he had teleported, moving at a speed that surpassed even his own reflexes.

"boom!!"

However, before Ace could think any further...

As Garp's iron fist struck, Ace seemed to temporarily lose consciousness and fell towards the ground that had been cracked by Garp's Haki.

"Lieutenant General Garp!!"

After Ace was punched into the ground by Garp...

The group of Marines behind Garp immediately started shouting at him in a panic.

"Don't worry! This old man won't be defeated so easily!"

Garp crossed his arms in front of him and comforted the Marines behind him.

"Vice Admiral Garp, what we're worried about isn't that you'll be defeated, but that you're too ruthless and might accidentally kill someone!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, are you insane?! That guy is the infamous child of the Figarand family! You just assaulted a Celestial Dragon! You'll be hunted down by the Admirals..."

The group of marines looked at Garp and called out with worried expressions.

"Ah?! Right, that kid was a Celestial Dragon, I'd completely forgotten..."

"Quickly inform Kuzan, Borsalino, or Sakazuki, and have one of them come after me! I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere..."

Upon hearing this, Garp looked enlightened and, being very understanding, spoke softly to his subordinates.

"Lieutenant General Garp, what are you doing?!"

"The most urgent matter right now isn't to cause trouble for us or create unnecessary problems for the generals. The most urgent matter is to check whether the young master of the Figarand family, whom you knocked away, is injured! Then please go to Commander-in-Chief Xia in person and apologize! Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku can't help you with this matter..."

Unfortunately, this time Garp's subordinates didn't agree with him; instead, they kept criticizing him.

"Really..."

"That brat will be fine! You all underestimate the children of the Figarand family! That kid Xia Ya has maxed out the defenses of his kids! How could that fire brat be killed by my punch!"
