Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

"Vice Admiral Garp!!"

Just then, a naval officer shouted from the lookout tower.

The voice was extremely urgent, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Kyle was no exception, but he put down the shoes he was holding first.

Then the navy officer roared again.

"The Red-Haired Pirates have been spotted ten miles to our right! They're heading in our direction!"

!!!

Upon hearing this, the many sailors on board showed solemn expressions.

"The Red-Haired Pirates? Aren't they a famous pirate crew active in the New World? Why are they here?!"

"Captain Shanks is a famous pirate even in the New World!"

But these sailors were merely solemn; they were not afraid.

Like I said, with someone backing you up, what's there to be afraid of?!

Buggy's eyes lit up the moment he heard about the Red-Haired Pirates.

Red hair, isn't that Shanks?

Although he hates Shanks, he might not hate him so much if Shanks could rescue him.

However, the thought only lasted a few seconds before it faded away, and his eyes dimmed again.

Given Shanks' strength, if he encountered a ship belonging to another Marine Vice Admiral, Buggy would definitely believe that the other party could save him.

However, they happened to encounter the only vice admiral they couldn't possibly save.

He knew perfectly well how strong Garp was, and he didn't believe that Shanks was capable of contending with Garp right now.

Hearing the commotion, Garp came out and shouted loudly in a strong voice:

"What? The Red-Haired Pirates?"

"Do I need to teach you what to do when you encounter a pirate crew? Who do you think I am! Move your ship closer!!!"

Garp leaped and landed on the dog's head, wrapping his arms around it and baring his teeth.

"Hmph! Redhead? Just a brat from Roger's ship!"

At this point, Garp seemed to remember something, turned his gaze to Bucky, who had two red shoe prints on his face, and asked:

"I remember you used to hang out with that red-haired brat all the time, didn't you?"

"He's become a great pirate in the New World now, how come you're so weak?"

Upon hearing this, Bucky couldn't take it anymore and jumped up from the spot.

Ignoring the psychological trauma Garp had inflicted on him, he shouted excitedly at Garp:

"What are you saying, old man? You think I'm weaker than Shanks? Do you believe I could beat him up with one hand?"

"Um?!"

Garp then stuck his pinky finger into his nostril and looked at Bucky earnestly as he spoke:

"I don't believe it!!"

"You...￥%￥&#￥%*!!"

Bucky mumbled a lot of nonsense, but no one present could understand what he was saying.

However, sometimes you don't necessarily need to understand everything; it's enough to know that he's using some inappropriate words.

Garp casually waved his hand, releasing his Armament Haki, and slammed it onto Buggy, sending him flying and crashing into the ship's bulkhead.

"You little brat, you've got some nerve! As a prisoner, you dare bare your teeth at me!"

Then he looked towards the direction of the Red-Haired Pirates in the distance and shouted loudly:

"Full speed ahead! Let's fight the pirates!!"

"Fight the pirates!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, three figures rushed out of the cabin. Ace and his two companions huddled together, constantly looking around.

"Where? Where are the pirates?"

"Don't worry, you four little devils, you'll see soon, hahaha!!"

Garp turned around laughing, but suddenly froze.

one two three,……

One is missing!!

Where's that brat Kyle?

Garp looked around, simultaneously unleashing his Observation Haki, but even after sensing the entire ship, he couldn't find Kyle.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from afar.

In an instant, countless marines on the ship collapsed, their eyes turning white, including Luffy and his two companions.

Only a few naval personnel remained conscious.

Garp suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Red-Haired Pirates' ship, his expression changing drastically in an instant.

"A clash of Conqueror's Haki!!!"

"That brat Kyle!!"

Without hesitation, Garp leaped into the air, the enormous recoil even causing the dog-headed warship's head to sink into the sea.

Using Moonwalk, he sped towards the Red-Haired Pirates' ship.

-

Let's rewind to one minute ago.

"The Red-Haired Pirates?"

Kyle's eyes showed a hint of surprise after hearing the shouts from the navy above.

Using his Observation Haki combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he instantly spotted the Red-Haired Pirates.

Suddenly, Kyle smiled.

"interesting!"

The next second, Kyle transformed into purple lightning and vanished instantly.

They arrived above the Red-Haired Pirates' ship in almost an instant.

The moment he appeared, the laughter of the Red-Haired Pirates members on the ship stopped abruptly, and they all turned to look at him.

They were all stunned when they saw a child floating in the air, and tilted their heads in confusion.

Looking at the familiar faces before him, Kyle smiled slightly.

The red-haired man and the others in front of them were much younger than those in later generations, and the red-haired man's left arm was still intact.

"Hey! Kid, who are you?!"

The redhead looked at Kyle and asked curiously.

"My name is Kyle! I'm a Marine!"

"navy?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the ship was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Navy?? Kid, you say you're in the Navy? Hahaha!!"

"How come I had no idea the navy started recruiting child soldiers? What? Has the navy fallen on hard times?"

……

Redhead and the others laughed extremely loudly, and some even rolled around on the deck in an exaggerated manner.

"You like to laugh?!"

Kyle narrowed his eyes, and Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from his body, surging towards the crowd.

In an instant, the laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly once again, and their faces showed an expression of utter horror as they stared at Kyle in disbelief.

Given their strength, it's impossible that they haven't seen Conqueror's Haki before; in fact, Shanks himself is a user of extremely strong Conqueror's Haki.

But the problem is...

They'd never seen such a tiny kid with Conqueror's Haki before!

Feeling the overwhelming power of the Conqueror's Haki constantly assaulting him, the red-haired man's eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The next second, an incredibly powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, instantly overpowering Kyle's Conqueror's Haki.

In the void, it seemed as if two domains, one red and one purple, were colliding, with waves of incredibly powerful energy spreading outwards, and black and red lightning flashing in the void.

Kyle felt a sudden heaviness wash over him, and a powerful pressure rushed towards him, causing a bead of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

Looking down at the red-haired man with a relaxed expression and a faint smile, Kyle understood.

As expected of the strongest Conqueror's Haki user in the future, even if he hasn't reached that level yet, his current Conqueror's Haki is far stronger than his.

Keep in mind that the redhead is only twenty-five years old.

Suddenly, the red-haired man's Conqueror's Haki intensified, crushing Kyle's Conqueror's Haki. A shockwave erupted, sweeping outwards and causing everyone's clothes to rustle.

The redhead grinned.

"Kid, now I believe you really are a Marine!"

"But... you, a Marine, came aboard my ship and even used Conqueror's Haki to intimidate us. Aren't you being a little too bold?"

……
