The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Garp shouted anxiously from afar, but showed no intention of getting any closer.

Perhaps it was Zefa's words that made him feel guilty, or perhaps he knew that he was not strong enough to stop Luther and the others.

"Are you trying to kill Ace?"

Zeff's calm remark completely froze Garp's expression.

Only then did he suddenly realize that since Ace's identity was exposed, he could no longer protect Ace.

Even if he were a naval hero, it would be impossible.

The only way to keep Ace alive is to stay by Luther's side, and only the Celestial Dragons can protect Ace.

Having figured this out, Garp fell completely silent and collapsed weakly to the ground.

"What have I done...?"

Garp held his head, his face ashen.

The feeling of being powerless to change anything, the feeling of watching yourself break your promise, the feeling of watching the child you cherish leave with the person you hate the most... all of these things are causing him endless torment.

In the distance, Luther glanced mockingly at Garp, who was sitting on the ground, then flames rose beneath his feet, and he slowly took to the air.

Together with Zephyr, who used the Moonwalk to fly, they jumped off the cliff and sped off toward the Don Quixote.

At this moment, Ace was already shocked by the feeling of flying in the sky and had no energy to think about anything else.

"Why can you fly on air?"

"Hahaha, kid, this is the Moon Walk of the Six Styles of the Navy. Once you master it, you can go wherever you want. But only those who are devoted to physical techniques can master it!"

Zephyr laughed loudly, his words clearly hinting at his intention to entice Ace to adopt a physical combat style.

Wow! I want to learn!

Ace didn't think much of it and started yelling and shouting.

Zefa's move of breaking a mountain with a single punch was enough to make him admire him.

People in the Goa Kingdom always say that Garp is the one who repeatedly cornered the Pirate King Roger.

Garp was just beaten to a pulp by Zeff, which clearly demonstrates Zeff's strength.

Young Ace didn't understand such social niceties; in his simple mind, a fixed inequality had already formed:

Zephyr > Garp > Roger

Therefore, as long as he learns Zephyr's skills, he will definitely be able to kill Garp, the indirect murderer who killed his mother!

Ace's eyes gleamed with ambition as he gazed intently at Zephyr.

Seeing those eager eyes looking at him, Zefa smiled with satisfaction.

It would be quite interesting to train someone like Roger, a descendant of the Pirate King, to join their side.

We've arrived!

Luther's words brought the future mentor and student back to their senses.

Ace's eyes lit up as he looked at the warships and the Don Quixote not far away:

"What a cool ship!"

He only needed one glance to know that this was their ship.

As for the warship on the other side, he recognized it as Garp's warship, so it definitely had nothing to do with them.

Luther and Zephyr slowly descended, and when they saw the thick ice surrounding the Don Quixote, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Your Highness!"

Gion greeted them with a smile, curiously examining Ace standing on Luther's shoulder.

"Is this the son of the Pirate King Roger?"

"No, I am Portgas D. Ace!" Ace tried to correct himself.

But Luther simply nodded, grabbed Ace, and put him off his shoulder:

"It's him. He's quite an interesting kid."

Ace wanted to say something, but Luther immediately sent him to Yamato's side.

At this moment, he still had important things to do.

"Didn't you fight Kuzan?" Luther asked with a smile.

"Forget it, I don't bully people who are holding a child."

Gion shrugged and glanced at Kuzan, who was holding a child in the distance.

"Luffy...?"

Luther's gaze shifted to the baby in Kuzan's arms, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Luffy grow into the Pirate King of the future.

My grandfather is a naval hero, my father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, my mentor is one of the Four Emperors and a Celestial Dragon, and my teacher is the Pirate King's right-hand man. If I can't make it all the way to the Pirate King, it would truly prove that background is useless in this world.

Regardless of what the future holds, he is still an infant now, so weak that he can't help but want to kill him with a single sword strike.

But after thinking it over, Luther abandoned the idea of ​​resolving the issue ahead of time.

His greatest enemy in the future may not be the so-called chosen one, but rather the World Government itself.

Rather than killing Luffy, he wanted to see if Luffy, this "catfish," could stir up some waves on the sea.

Only by leveraging the combined forces of all parties can he effectively bring about change within the World Government and accomplish what he has always wanted to do.

That empty throne isn't just something Olvia wants him to sit on...

Chapter 152 Hesitation Leads to Nothing

"Where is Mr. Garp? If you don't tell me, I won't let you leave."

Kuzan narrowed his eyes and, seeing that Luther was not making a move, shouted loudly.

In such a short time, he wasn't worried about Karp being killed.

But they were naturally aware of the battle taking place not far away, so he was also worried about Garp's current situation.

"Are you trying to stop me, Lieutenant General Kuzan?"

Luther merely glanced at Kuzan, emphasizing the word "Lieutenant General."

Of the three who were previously considered lieutenant generals, Sakazuki and Borsalino have both become generals, while Kuzan remains a lieutenant general.

The reason for this is that Kuzan's sense of justice is too wavering.

Wanting to become a naval admiral without getting your hands dirty? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Unless Kuzan makes changes, the other side will never become a general, regardless of whether he intervenes or not.

"You can give it a try, Your Highness Luther!"

Kuzan stared at Luther with a serious expression, ready to take action at any moment.

But this time, Luther completely ignored Kuzan.

Sunfire spread beneath him, and his body slowly flew to the bow of the ship.

Anyone can talk tough, but try actually stopping him if you dare!

Swish! ! !

A golden flame slash shot out from Ace in his hand, easily slicing through the ice.

After a hissing sound, a shipping route leading into the distance appeared ahead of the ship.

"set sail!"

Luther spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Kuzan, as if anticipating the latter's move.

Having received his instructions, the Donquixote, piloted by Nekomamushi, slowly sailed away from the frozen lands of Kuzan and headed into the distance.

Throughout this process, Kuzan ultimately did not take any action, but simply allowed Luther and the others to leave.

Once the Don Quixote had disappeared from sight, Kuzan looked down at the baby in his arms and whispered:

"If it weren't for Mr. Garp's grandson..."

On the other side...

Seeing that Kuzan ultimately didn't make a move, Zephyr on the ship couldn't help but sigh.

"Zeff, do you want Kuzan to make a move, or not?"

Luther landed slowly and walked to his side.

"It's probably hope, but his hesitant look is unpleasant to watch."

Zefa sighed, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Sakaschi and Borsalino were his first students, and also his two most outstanding students who were completely unfazed.

In the next generation, Kuzan displayed talent that was in no way inferior to Sakazuki and the other two.

Unfortunately, Kuzan's strength was only in his raw power...

When it comes to the steadfastness of his own stance, Kuzan was the most confused and hesitant of all his students, and he remained so from beginning to end.

This time, he clearly wanted to stop them, but because of Luther's identity and out of concern for Luffy's safety, he chose to do nothing.

“If you make tough statements but don’t follow through, it will only reveal your inner hesitation and weakness. In this respect, he’s similar to Garp, no wonder they’re attracted to each other!” Zephyr shook his head.

“Professor Zephyr, how many people can be so uninhibited?” Luther smiled.

People like Kuzan actually make up the majority of the world.

However, because Kuzan possessed power, he had a completely different fate from ordinary people.

For ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with thinking or doing this.

But for Kuzan, it's indeed a waste of such great talent.

"Too!"
