Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

"Whoa, Luffy! What did you feed me?! What is this?!"

Garp simply took the food from his grandson without even looking at it, but after eating it, he realized something was wrong.

When Garp saw the limp arm, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Huh!?"

Luffy was equally shocked, not understanding how Chicken Sauce had suddenly turned into a monster.

"Boss! That looks like the Devil Fruit we stole!"

On the Red-Haired Gang's side, Lucky Roux, with his round, protruding belly, quickly found the small box that had been tossed aside on the ground, picked it up, and showed it to everyone; it was completely empty.

Seeing this, Shanks was completely stunned. He looked at Garp, then at Luffy, his mouth opening and closing incessantly, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Zephyr covered his eyes, not wanting to see Garp's condition.

Originally, he thought it would be best to let things take their course and for Luffy to eat the Nika Fruit disguised as the Gum-Gum Fruit.

But... why did that old bastard Garp eat it now?!

What kind of nonsense is this?

The liberation fighter, Joy Boy's successor—Monkey D. Garp!?

After the initial confusion, Garp looked down at his hands, swung them forcefully, and immediately pulled his limp arm back up.

"Ah, it's back to normal."

Garp grinned. Great, it wouldn't stop him from eating rice crackers and donuts.

Just as he was about to lower his head and eat a few more bites of grilled meat, Kapu suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him.

"Hey, hey, what are you all staring at? Is there something on my face?"

Karp rubbed his face and found it to be unusually bouncy and smooth, which was quite nice.

"Hey, Garp."

Zephyr regained his senses and silently sat down next to Garp.

"Don't you know what you ate?"

"What?"

"Devil Fruit! You bastard! Now you've turned into Sengoku and Tsuru like them!"

Ze's tone was excited, but he managed to suppress it.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that letting Garp eat the Nika-no-Fruits isn't so bad after all?

After all, although Garp is a scoundrel, he does have a simple sense of justice in his heart, and he also has considerable strength. Combined with the Nika Fruit, they complement each other perfectly.

only……

Looking at Garp's nonchalant attitude, Zephyr grew angrier and angrier. "You old bastard, do you even know you stole your grandson's power?!"

"Devil Fruit?"

Karp was startled.

"That's not bad! I've been wanting to try what it's like to be an esper for a long time. Sengoku and Kotsuru's abilities are pretty good, so mine should be pretty good too!"

A familiar burst of laughter rang out, and Zefa couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar words, Luffy couldn't help but look at Zephyr, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Zeff was annoyed by Garp's stubbornness, but seeing Luffy staring at him expectantly, he wanted to explain.

But someone went first.

"I know, I know!"

Uta hopped over and shoved Luffy aside with a shoulder.

"I'm also a Devil Fruit user! Paramecia type, the Song-Song Fruit. Anyone who hears my song will be blessed with happiness!"

Looking at the confident Uta, Zefa couldn't help but find it amusing.

Luffy's future is already remarkable, almost influencing the world, but Uta is even more remarkable, almost wiping out the entire world.

"So, Luffy, I'm actually stronger than you~"

Uta made a provocative statement, teasing his loser brother.

"Damn it!" Luffy was still easily provoked. "I'll find a really powerful Devil Fruit someday and become an even stronger user than Uta!"

"Impossible."

"It's definitely possible!"

"It's simply impossible!"

Kids really do change their mood quickly; they were just angry at Sieg, but now they're playing around again.

Zefa let the two children play around, but the real culprit had already come looking for them.

"Mr. Garp, and Mr. Zephyr, that Devil Fruit is our spoils of war..."

Shanks's mournful voice drifted over, as close as a ghost, making both Zephyr and Garp feel a chill run down their spines.

"Hey kid, stop acting like you're going to die! It's just a Devil Fruit, I'll just give you one later."

Karp, amused, opened his mouth and discovered that it could stretch to an extreme size, like Play-Doh, and could fit all the roasted meat inside. His eyes immediately lit up.

This fruit's ability is amazing!

"Just one..." Shanks thought, tears welling in his eyes, remembering the years he had endured. "I really only want this one!"

After a period of melancholy, Shanks, being no weakling, quickly cheered up.

After thinking it over carefully, Shanks looked intently at Garp and took out the straw hat he was wearing.

"Mr. Garp, does this straw hat look familiar?"

"Huh?" Garp narrowed his eyes, a familiar feeling washing over him. "That's Roger's straw hat!"

"Yes." Shanks nodded, then carefully handed over the straw hat.

"So, Mr. Garp, would you like to inherit this straw hat and meet me at the summit someday?"

Zephyr turned to look at Shanks, his gaze behind his sunglasses even more bizarre. What's wrong with him today? Why is he seeing such outrageous things everywhere?

Karp's lips twitched, and he slammed the plate on the table with a loud bang.

"You little brat, you want to taste my fists?!"

"Haha, then forget it."

Shanks retreated dejectedly. He was only good at fooling children; the old man wasn't so good at it!

Shanks closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then exchanged a glance with his strategist Beckman, before finally looking at Garp, who was happily eating, and Zeff, who was also deep in thought, and spoke.

"Can we talk privately, Mr. Zeff and Mr. Garp? I have something to tell you, and I also want to ask you a few questions."

Garp then stopped eating meat, looked at Zephyr, and saw Zephyr nod, so he nodded as well.

"Can."

"Thank you, don't worry, I'm coming alone."

"head!"

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates gathered around with concern, but Shanks persuaded them to leave one by one.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."

Shanks' smile exudes confidence.

Zephyr glanced at it, "Just now..."

"Ahem, except for just now."

Shanks waved his hand, using the process of elimination.

……

Soon, after having Beckman and the others keep an eye on Luffy and Uta, and confirming that no one was around in the back mountains of Windmill Village, Zephyr, along with Garp, stood on either side of Shanks.

"Kid, what do you want to say?" Zefa spoke first, already having some ideas.

Shanks smiled, his gaze lingering on the memory, before speaking again: "Since you already know, Mr. Zeffa, then I won't hide it from you anymore."

"That's right, I am a Celestial Dragon, a member of the Figarand family. My father is Grindelwald, the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, and my brother is Shamrock, the current Commander of the Knights of God."

A few years ago, I temporarily returned to Mary Geoise, where I witnessed the true nature of the Celestial Dragons and felt deeply ashamed of my Celestial Dragon identity!

Shanks said calmly, while Garp was completely dumbfounded. What? Wasn't this kid raised on Roger's ship? A Celestial Dragon!?

Zephyr nodded. He already knew this information, which was why he was willing to communicate with Shanks.

"What do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is that during the years I returned to Mary Geoise, I was actually searching for intelligence, and after I found it, I left."

"And that information... is precisely the Devil Fruit that you, Mr. Garp, ate."

"On the surface, he is a Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit, but in reality, he is a Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan type Nika Mode."

Shanks spoke each word clearly, leaving Garp speechless once again, snot bubbles popping from his nose.

What the heck?

"Yes." Zephyr nodded. "I know that too."

"What?!"

Shanks looked over in disbelief. "How do you know about this?"
