Pirate: I am King Luffy

Shanks was skeptical, "Anyway, these bandits have been eliminated. There's also a bounty on the way, a full eight million berries."

Shanks saw the bounty poster for Sig on the ground.

What Cap saw was a bar with its door removed.

"Mr. Garp, you're back. Luffy has dealt with these bandits. Take them back with you when you go back. Remember to bring back Bailey next time you come."

Village Chief Schlap said to Cap.

"That guy, managed to deal with so many people at once?" Karp clicked his nose.

"That move was very cool! Just listening to the pirates' descriptions makes my blood boil!"

"Luffy has become a very reliable and secure little man."

"He's still a long way from that."

Garp snorted and puffed out his chest.

"Shanks!" Uta trotted and jumped towards Shanks' chest, and Shanks subconsciously picked up Uta.

"Uta, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. You and Luffy will live in this village for a while." Shanks said.

"Eh? Uta is coming together..."

"No, this is a test of our manliness, so Uta has to wait here for me to come back."

Uta: Watch~

"Don't look at me like that. Just think of this straw hat as me."

He carried Uta into the bar and put his hat on Luffy's head.

"I'll be back in three months..."

"How about it, you two, get along well with each other, Luffy, help me take care of Uta."

Luffy raised his head and looked at the straw hat on his head.

"Uta is the older sister!" Uta said loudly to Shanks.

"Luffy is taken care of by Uta from brushing his teeth to exercising. It is clearly Uta who is taking care of him."

"Okay, then Uta should take good care of his brother, and his brother should protect his sister." Shanks said.

Garp looked at Shanks with a complicated expression.

He really likes this child...

"That's good enough." Uta was satisfied with this.

Shanks then turned his gaze towards Luffy.

"Please help me take good care of Uta and don't let her get hurt."

"Okay, I promise!" Luffy pinched the edge of his straw hat.

There was a sudden emotion in my heart.

Isn't this entrusting your child to someone else?

Think about it...why would Shanks suddenly teach [Divine Repellence]?

This trick is really not that easy to learn, and it’s the same whether I learned it or not, I can’t do it at all…

"Well, it's a deal, return the Straw Hat and Uta to me safe and sound when the time comes."

The pirates brought Uta's spare clothes, and in a suitcase, the beautiful clothes were neatly stacked together.

"Then, Mr. Garp, I'll leave my princess in your care for the time being."

"Young men, let's go and take on the test of manliness!"

The pirates followed Shanks onto the ship, and the Red Force slowly started moving.

Drifting aimlessly on the sea.

"Boss, can Uta really adapt?" Lachi Lu was a little worried.

The other pirates also looked worried and had completely lost the enthusiasm they had when they set out.

"How should I know..." Shanks held the bottle of wine.

Afterwards, Shanks wandered around Windmill Village for the next few months, secretly observing Uta's condition.

Finally, three months later, it headed north and left the East China Sea.

Cap knew that raising a daughter was different from raising a son, so he asked Miss Makino to help take care of Uta.

After all, seeing how much Shanks treasured this beautiful girl, he couldn't bear to raise her casually, so he maintained the standard to the level where she wouldn't die, even if he succeeded in raising a child.

At first, Uta didn’t think there was anything wrong with living in Windmill Village. The people in Windmill Village were very nice and everyone liked Uta.

But Shanks wasn't there, and neither were the pirates.

Uta's cheerfulness lasted for two weeks and then disappeared, and she began to look at the sea more often.

Luffy didn't have much to do. In this situation, it was obvious that Shanks had run away with his men. Luffy could only occasionally tell some jokes to Uta, or play some games with her, and lose to Uta from time to time.

Even so, Uta's happiness could only last during the day. At night, her mood became depressed as night fell.

The environment has a huge impact on people. When night falls, it is the time for some modern young people to start to suppress their emotions.

"fraud……"

By the third month, the huge ship Red Foss had not appeared on the sea.

Uta squatted on the shore, looking at the endless blue.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

She clasped her shoulders tightly and tears streamed down her face.

Turning his head, he looked at Luffy aggrievedly: "Shanks...he doesn't want me anymore!"

"No way." Luffy, wearing Shanks' straw hat and a red coat, sat next to Uta.

"Didn't I tell you that he went to take the test of manliness? It must be a dangerous and difficult test that would prevent a grown man like him from keeping his promise and coming back."

Luffy said as he grabbed Uta's hand.

Now it’s different, we are all left-behind children.

"…real?"

"Well, maybe Shanks will appear in the newspapers in the future."

"Until then, please rely on me as you relied on Shanks."

Uta leaned his little head against Luffy's shoulder.

"It's a deal."

In the distance, Garp sighed.

Getting something and then losing it is the most painful thing.

For someone like Luffy, who has never seen his father since he was a child, this kind of thing doesn't matter to him.

However, Shanks dotes on his daughter too much, and she still doesn't know what pirates are.

Cap thought.

In Uta's common sense, there are no vicious pirates like the Seven Warlords of the Sea. She believes that conventional and normal pirate operations are "third-rate" stuff, and only people like Shanks are real big pirates.

This made Garp feel a little relieved... Shanks did not become an unforgivable criminal after all.

The two children are still too weak. Let them go and play with Ace in the mountains. This way, everyone will forget the unpleasant things.

Cap thought.

then:

"Luffy, Uta, I'll find a brother for you!" Garp said happily.

“???” Luffy and Uta looked confused.

Then he was caught by the scruff of Fate and lifted up by Cap with one hand. He was polite to Uta and let Uta sit on his shoulders. The three of them set off towards Mount Korpo.

……

"This is..." inside Korpo Mountain.

The middle-aged bandit looked at the boy in Garp's hand and the girl on his shoulder.

She had a cigarette between her lips and had a bad feeling.

"This is my grandson, Luffy. I'm leaving him in your care." Garp carried Luffy.

"Say hello to them, Luffy. There are good people among the bandits."

"Yo——" Luffy crossed his arms and greeted the bandits in the air.

"Don't just throw kids here, we are bandits!"

Dadan couldn't help it. She roared at Garp, "What do you think of bandits?"

"Ok?"

Garp, whose hair had turned white, looked at Dadan.

"We're very sorry. We will take good care of your grandson." The bandits lined up neatly and bowed to Garp.

"Bandits live in places like this?"

Uta looked at the bandits' territory curiously. They built a wooden house in the jungle, which looked very simple.

Obviously there is a large piece of land, but it is not taken care of even as well as a boat. Clothes are hung randomly on both sides of the house, and it looks a bit messy.

"This is the daughter of a pirate." Garp said.

"I'm Uta, the musician of the Red Hair Pirates."

She was sitting on Cap's shoulders and suddenly noticed a boy on the grass next to her.

The dirty boy, with no idea what his mentality was, spat at Luffy.

"Luffy, be careful!"

She shouted hurriedly.

Flames flashed in the air, and red-orange fire danced on Luffy's fingertips.

The flames fell on the grass in front of Ace. The fire that received nutrients suddenly became stronger, which scared Ace.

"It wasn't a very pleasant meeting."

Luffy blew out the light at his fingertips, and the fire in front of Ace was extinguished, leaving only lingering green smoke.

The flame will cause a rampage when it touches flammable materials, but the bottom flame is still attached to the weapon, so Luffy can extinguish the flame he creates at will.

However, it won’t work if the scope is too large.

"Luffy, did you eat a devil fruit?"

Garp lifted Luffy up and looked at him in disbelief.

"No."

Luffy twisted around, freed himself from Garp's fingers, and fell to the ground.

Could it be that the Devil Fruit could trigger such power?

Ace looked at the black smoke rising from the grass in disbelief.
