This navy can deal with him, how dare he kill White Beard!

After what seemed to be a long century of silence, Garp finally spoke.

There was a dry hoarseness in his voice.

Garp raised his head, staring blankly at the dark sky with heavy rain, his chattering voice piercing through the wind and rain.

"The old man hopes that they can all be in the navy."

"I hope they can wear brand-new military uniforms and cloaks of justice to protect those who need protection and defend justice."

His eye sockets gradually turned reddish.

"It's a pity that one of them died in an accident when he was young, and the other two...they all went to sea and became pirates."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

"The two grandsons of the 'heroes' of the navy went out to sea to become pirates, and their greatest dream was to become the One Piece King. The road to justice became farther and farther away...became the enemy of this old man."

Ron lay on the ground and did not interrupt Garp.

He just listened quietly.

"Ron, sometimes when I see you, the old man is really envious and jealous."

Cap continued,

There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My husband sometimes thinks...

If it wasn't you who joined the Navy,

If you are not the one who accepted the teaching of Zefa and entered the highest training sequence,

If it wasn't you who killed the golden lion,

If it wasn't you who saved Marin Vandor...

If none of these are you,

but the old man's grandson,

How wonderful that would be..."

He suddenly laughed out loud, his eye sockets filled with ferocious and painful bloodshot eyes.

in the rainstorm,

The loud laughter of the naval hero was full of desolation.

Ten seconds later, the laughter gradually died down.

Garp wiped the rain off his face with his hand.

He looked at the bruised navy boy in front of him, his tone suddenly became cold, and he said murderously:

"Ron, the old man asks you a question."

Ron said lightly:

"Lieutenant General Karp, you said."

Garp said slowly:

"That day in Chambord Islands, do you know the identity of Luffy the Straw Hat Kid?"

"Yes, I know he is your grandson, Lieutenant General Garp."

"And that day, you really wanted to kill him, right?"

"Yes, since you hang the flag of pirates, you must have the awareness to be attacked by the navy."

Cap was taken aback.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

He laughed again.

He laughed until tears welled up in his eyes.

"...It really looks like it!!!"

"You little brats who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth... It's true that your character is getting more stubborn and your temper is getting worse..."

"If it's Luffy...he must agree with your words!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"In order to become the Pirate King, it doesn't matter even if you die...does it..."

Cap sighed, laughed, and cried.

He took a deep look at Ron and turned around slowly.

"Do you still remember the old man telling you that the old man has two grandchildren?"

Ron said softly, "Yeah."

Garp clenched his fists and lowered his head.

"A day ago, news came out that the former Whitebeard Pirates crew member 'Blackbeard' Tiki defeated 'Fire Fist' Ace, who was also the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and sent 'Fire Fist' Ace It will be handed over to the world government as a nomination certificate in exchange for the title of Shichibukai under the king."

"The World Government...agreed."

"Because 'Fire Fist' Ace has another identity besides the cadre of the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"His full name is Portgas Ace, Portgas is his mother's surname, 'Fire Fist' Ace's biological father is the legendary One Piece Gol D Roger!"

"After discussions between the high-level headquarters and the world government, the headquarters will publicly execute 'Fire Fist' Ace in front of the whole world!"

"The old man will set off today to go to Magic Valley Town to receive 'Fire Fist' Ace from Blackbeard."

"But now, the old man has changed his mind."

"This task is entrusted to you."

Ron was taken aback: "Why?"

Cap hissed:

"Because Ace... is the grandson of the old man."

"I thought I could do it, but now I understand that I really can't."

He suddenly smiled, as if the clouds were calm and the wind was breezy.

"Boy Ron...you are more suitable for the title of 'hero' than this old man."

"But remember one thing, being a hero...is really tiring."

After saying this, Garp took a step forward.

Ron looked calmly at the figure that was gradually disappearing in the rainstorm.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have noticed that the figure from his back gradually became stooped.

It seems that he will be crushed by the heavy "justice" on his back at any time.

There will be a change at night, please everything, I love you guys!

Chapter 71 This Era

Chief Instructor's Office.

Raindrops beat against the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, blurring vision.

The mist was hazy, and Zefa quietly looked at the old figure gradually disappearing in the rainstorm, and heaved a long sigh.

He stubbed out the last cigarette.

"Teacher Zefa..."

The cold-tempered Gion had already stood behind Zefa at some point.

She looked worriedly at the tired figure in front of her, and spoke softly.

Zefa shook his head, his eyes full of years and vicissitudes gradually became blurred.

He said as if in a dream:

"Justice...is very difficult..."

Gion fell silent upon hearing this.

Yes, compared to those pirates who pursue freedom and act without restraint, the justice of the navy...is indeed very difficult.

mission and family,

responsibilities and dreams,

Which is more important?

Even for Lieutenant General Garp, who is usually joking and carefree, this is destined to be an extremely painful choice.

In order to vent his anger on his own grandson, he beat Ron.

This is his selfishness as a pro-grandpa.

But in order for future naval heroes to go further, he gave Ron the opportunity to escort his grandson 'Fire Fist' Ace.

This is his responsibility as a navy, and it is also his cultivation and expectation as a senior to his juniors.

hero?

Where is there any hero who fell from the sky.

They are all just mortals who mustered up the courage to stand up.

Since they are mortals, they are destined to have emotions and weaknesses. They will feel pain, experience disappointment, and fall into confusion and exhaustion.

Was Cap wrong?
