Pirate: I am King Luffy

"Have they become so strong?" Shimotsuki Kosaburo was a little surprised.

"Yes, Luffy seems to have taught them a lot of things for physical training, which has enabled their strength and combat experience to improve by leaps and bounds." said Shimotsuki Koshiro.

That's right, he is Garp's grandson after all.

Shimotsuki Kozaburou nodded slightly.

I guess Garp taught Luffy a lot of secret skills.

Kuina is undoubtedly a talented swordsman. If she were not a girl, Shimotsuki Kosaburo believes that she would be able to reach the top.

But Kuina is a girl, and her goal is not just to be a powerful swordsman, which is not such a simple goal, but to be the best swordsman in the world and to reach the top.

Shimotsuki Kosaburo didn't know if he could achieve such a goal, because there have been powerful female swordsmen in history, but none of them were strong enough to reach the top... Kuina, you who have such a great ambition... why... are you a woman?

He looked away from his granddaughter with a complicated look.

If Kuina was a boy, then she...he would definitely be able to recreate the dragon-slaying legend from eight hundred years ago, right?

The girl had sharp eyes. She saw her grandfather looking at her out of the corner of her eye, so she decided to win beautifully.

The next second, Wado Ichimonji knocked Zoro's two swords away.

"You're still far away!" The girl raised her head proudly, revealing her beautiful swan neck.

But Grandfather's attention shifted to Zoro.

“Humans are timid because they love their bodies!”

"Abandon your name, discard your wisdom, and then empty your mind and cut it off. This is the path of Shura, [Abandon your name and wisdom]."

The old warrior said this as he passed by Zoro and went back to the forge.

There is still one last step to complete on that sword.

The young king will not stay here for long. When he sets out on a new journey, please offer your sword to him.

Kuina held the Wado Ichimonji sword, lowered her head slightly, and an emotion called jealousy arose in her heart.

She looked up at the blue sky and tried her best to swallow back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

The nails had sunk into the flesh.

It’s okay, Kuina, I will prove myself, I can definitely become the number one swordsman!

I won't cry anymore!

"Shamingzhi...?" Zoro looked at the old man's receding back with some confusion.

He turned around and saw that there was no trace of blood on Guina's face.

Her hair covered half of her face, and she held her head up coldly, with an aloof and detached air.

Mount Korpo, Kingdom of Goa.

Wearing beige shorts and a white T-shirt, Karp found the child sitting alone on the edge of the cliff.

"Grandpa...what do you think, should I be born into this world?" A boy about ten years old, with a bandage on his face, asked Karp.

"Will being born be a good thing?"

"..."

Cap had a complicated expression on his face as he sat on a rock nearby.

"This... you will know if you survive."

He stared at the endless blue sky and recalled the pink-haired woman on the hospital bed, looking lovingly at the baby in her arms: "The girl will be named Ann, and the boy will be named Ace. That's what he decided... The name of this child is Gol D. Ace..."

That amazing woman used her own life to protect her child's life.

……

"Can you believe it, Cap, my baby is about to be born."

"Unfortunately, I won't be in this world by then."

"Why are you talking to a Marine like me, Roger?"

Inside the dark prison cell.

"We are old friends who have fought each other countless times."

The candle flickered slightly.

"You are as trustworthy as my partner."

The man smiled cheerfully at him and announced to his opponent: "You will protect him."

"I leave my child to you."

"Stop acting on your own!" He threw away the lantern in his hand and grabbed the prison door.

"No, you will definitely help me."

……

"I...heard that you have a grandson. What kind of person is he?"

Ace's question brought Garp out of his memories.

"If there's a chance, I'll let you meet him..." A smile appeared on Garp's face.

……

Shimotsuki Village:

woohoo hoo...

He swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the boulder. A cold light flashed, and the huge force combined with the sword easily cut the stone that was almost as high as his body into pieces.

Very good, you are now a swordsman who can cut through stones!

Luffy put away his sword. It was almost time to leave Shimotsuki Village. He could not learn anything more here.

Learning swordplay is similar to learning painting. The first thing you learn is the power and basic routines and fighting methods.

What remains is to keep exercising.

Only when your body is strong enough can your swordsmanship be improved.

There is no such thing as magical swordsmanship, but strength is the foundation of everything.

As long as you have the power to suppress everything and then pick up the sword, even if you don’t know how to use the sword, you will be a sword saint.

Then think about saving something——

Shanks will definitely let me go back to Windmill Village, and before that, I should have something that can be saved.

Luffy thought back to his childhood experiences... a bunch of vague memories flashed in his mind, and he remembered the bandits in the back mountain punching "Luffy" one by one, beating him all over, revealing a rampant smile...

The bandits in the back mountain are the kind that would attack children at will. They are subordinates of the bandit king Sig.

"Guess who I am——"

The fair little hands covered Luffy's eyes, and the voice was a bit like Kuina's cold voice.

But Luffy knew that it was definitely not Kuina, because Kuina was a hardworking swordsman, her hands would not be so white and delicate, but like his, her palms were a little rough.

"Who is it——" Luffy responded to the Pirate Princess' question.

"It's Uta!"

"We've been discovered!" Uta released her hand that was covering Luffy's eyes and said with a smile. She leaned forward and put her hands behind her back.

"How did Luffy know it was Uta? I clearly changed my voice."

“Maybe it’s intuition,” he said.

Only a fool would fail to guess that there are only a limited number of children with whom you have a close relationship to play games, so what can you achieve by simply changing your voice?

Not hard to guess at all.

"When will Luffy finish learning swordsmanship?" she asked.

"Ah, are you waiting impatiently, Shanks? I have already learned everything. After saying goodbye, let's leave tomorrow." Luffy said.

"It's not that Shanks asked..." Uta said vaguely, his purple eyes looking towards the trees in the distance.

Luffy stretched, "I'm so tired, let's go make some dessert together!"

He said.

"Can Luffy make desserts?" Little stars twinkled in Uta's eyes.

"If it's something simpler, I still can do it."

Luffy said, and the two of them headed towards the dojo's kitchen.

Because I worked in a dessert shop in my previous life, I am familiar with high-calorie foods and desserts.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that it can be reproduced in the world of pirates casually.

After all, the raw materials stage is quite difficult. In the previous life, I only needed to mix the raw materials in proportion and remember the steps.

But in this life, you have to mix the raw materials yourself.

But it would be better to do something simpler.

Luffy took a scale, a strainer, and a cup for making tea.

Get some drinks first.

Milk tea is one of the easiest desserts to make. Tea determines the upper limit, while milk determines the lower limit, and both are common raw materials in Shimotsuki Village.

If you want to make caramel milk tea, you have to fry the sugar first, which is too troublesome.

With simple mixing, Luffy made fragrant and smooth milk tea, and then made desserts.

Beat an egg, add a little sugar, stir it, pour in the milk, pass it through a strainer, and heat it in the microwave for two minutes...ah, there is no microwave.

Luffy poured water into the pot, estimated the time and steamed it, and when the time was up he took it out and it became a milk paste. He just needed to let the milk become viscous, and then pour in some small ingredients that would not ruin the taste, and it would be done.

Maybe I'm addicted to it.

Luffy got some ginger and made ginger milk, which is usually used to pick up girls and take care of women during menstruation, but before he could show his skills, he was reincarnated.

My sister didn't get it, but she learned a lot of skills, and now she can use them to make children happy.

Luffy placed a plate of simple desserts on the plate.

Uta couldn't help but take small sips of the drink.

The only downside is that these are hot drinks.

"It's delicious!" Uta held the milk tea. This thing attracted her first. "It would be better if it was cold." Uta said.

"That's right."

Luffy nodded. Cold drinks were naturally more comfortable than hot drinks.

"Let's make some cold drinks next time when we have time."

The main reason was that he didn't find ice cubes. There was edible ice cubes on Shanks' ship, and the chef would also prepare some cold drinks for everyone, but those cold drinks were simple fruit juices.

Adults drink alcohol, and juice is made specifically for children to drink, so naturally there is little fancy stuff done.

These things of Luffy mainly focus on technological innovation and overtaking others.

By the way, Sanji is also a master at making desserts, and can make some super complicated desserts.

In this world, there should also be things like syrup.

I'll go look for it when I have time, and take a look at the recipes of this world...

Luffy took these things to find Zoro and the others, and Uta followed him with a cup of hot milk tea. He kept looking at the other desserts and blowing air into the cup with small sips.

Hot drink, the main point is to make you greedy, can not be eaten immediately...
