Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

"Hahaha, because we came to the bar to drink and have fun, so whether he said something to me or splashed me with wine, I would just laugh it off.

As long as he doesn't mean to hurt my friends, why should we let these little things affect everyone's happiness?"

Although Luffy didn't understand, he calmed down. Since Shanks himself said it was okay, why was he still angry?

He turned to look at Ace who had been very quiet, and asked quietly:

"Ace, do you understand what Shanks meant?"

"Tsk, a bunch of stupid pirates who don't look like pirates."

Shanks heard the conversation between the two little ones and became interested, so he asked:

"Luffy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to get rid of my grandfather's oppression and become a free person."

Luffy blurted out without thinking, then he seemed to remember something important, clenched his fists tightly, and quickly added:

"Oh, and I have to get stronger, beat up my grandpa, and then not give him the money!!!"

Although Shanks didn't understand why Luffy wanted to beat up his grandfather, and what did it mean for him not to take the money, it was normal for a child to talk nonsense.

So he said with a smile like a bad uncle:

"If you were to talk about the freest person in the world, it would definitely be the Pirate King."

Luffy was stunned when he heard this, tilted his head, and scratched his head.

"Is Ace's father the freest person?"

"boom!"

Ace punched Luffy on the head and shouted angrily in a low voice:

"Stupid Luffy, Dadan said that you can't tell others about this kind of thing!"

"But Shanks is not someone else, he is my friend."

Luffy held his head and explained to Ace aggrievedly.

...

...

Shanks ignored the two kids' antics because he was so shocked by the news that Luffy accidentally revealed that he was speechless.

His pupils were shaking as he stared at Ace, his whole body began to tremble.

Ace! That's right! Isn't the captain's sword called Ace?

Shanks came to his senses, squatted in front of Ace, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Your father...is really...Gol D. Roger?"

Ace looked at the excited Shanks in front of him, and saw that he had no intention of hurting himself and Luffy. He thought that he must be a fan of his scumbag father.

Cool said:

"Tsk~ Pretending to be the son of a bastard is not something to be proud of."

"How can the Pirate King be a bastard? He is..."

Ace interrupted Shanks's rebuttal directly with indifference.

"He has let me down, and let my mother down. What you pirates think is your business, but to me, he is just a bastard and a scumbag!"

After hearing what Ace said, Shanks fell silent. He didn't know how to explain for his captain. After all, it was an indisputable fact that the captain had hurt Ace and his son.

Then Shanks said with a serious expression, as if he was taking an oath:

"Ace, come on board my ship, I will help you become the new Pirate King!"

"I reject!"

"Why? Your father is my captain, Ace, you don't have to worry about me hurting you."

Hearing Ace's refusal, Shanks said anxiously.

“Because my uncle said that to judge whether a person is good or bad, you can’t just listen to what others say, you have to see and think for yourself.

So when I grow up, I will go out to sea by myself to see what the era started by this bastard is like.”

Ace mentioned his uncle with an expression of admiration on his face and said firmly.

Shanks felt a little jealous when he saw this. How could the child of his captain worship other people? You have to know that his captain is the famous Pirate King!

"Who is your uncle? How can you educate a child like this? Where is he? Take me to find him and have a discussion with him!"

Ace gave Shanks a disdainful look, curled his lips, and attacked him mercilessly:

"Vice Admiral Mo Xingchen of the Navy Headquarters, are you going to Marinford to argue with him?"

“Ah… this…”

Shanks was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but he still added unconvincedly:

"Even if he is right, the sea is full of dangers. With my protection, your voyage will be smooth!"

Ace even put one foot on the bar and said proudly:

"Sister Makino said that my uncle started out here all by himself, and now he has made a great name for himself.

I, Ace, will start from here and create my own legendary career!"

“Ah…this…”

Shanks immediately returned to his seat with a look of frustration on his face, and his entire body turned gray.

Lost!

Completely defeated by that person!

...

...

"I, Luffy, will also start from here and become the freest person in the world!"

Luffy shouted loudly in a baby voice, imitating Ace's movements.

Shanks was also stunned when he heard this. The two children have such a good relationship, Luffy's background must be unusual.

"Luffy, do you know Ace's uncle Mo Xingchen too?"

"Yeah, he's my uncle too."

"Who is your father then?"

Luffy looked dumbfounded, picking his nose and looking at the ceiling.

"Father? I don't know. No one has ever told me. I only have a grandfather. My grandfather's name is Monkey D. Cap."

"Pfft~"

Shanks sprayed a mouthful of wine directly into Luffy's face.

...

Chapter 107 Shanks: I haven't lost yet, I bet the straw hat on the new era

“Nani~~~~!!”

When everyone in the tavern heard Luffy's words, they were instantly shocked and looked incredulous.

The news about One Piece was just that to them, after all, their captain used to follow One Piece.

They had more or less developed a certain degree of resistance, but everyone was shocked to learn that Luffy was actually the grandson of the navy hero Garp.

My goodness! What is going on?

Cap hunts down Roger, then tracks down a grandson.

What's even more ridiculous is that they raise it together with their own children.

This small fishing village in the East China Sea actually hides two such great talents.

But after the shock, everyone started drinking and bragging.

Only Shanks was there, his eyes rolling around, obviously thinking about something bad.

"Luffy, do you remember what I just said, who is the freest person on the sea?"

"One Piece?"

"That's right! As long as you can become the Pirate King, you will be the freest person in the world.

My captain is the Pirate King. Your grandfather tried to capture him for so many years but never succeeded. Just imagine how free he is."

Shanks looked at Luffy who was nodding his head like crazy, smiled and raised his little finger, saying:

"Well, we are friends, right? Let's see who can become the Pirate King first."

"Well, hang yourself with a hook, and you won't be able to cheat for a hundred years!"

Shanks was looking at Luffy, who was holding hands with him and reading the contract in a serious and childish voice, and he also thought to himself,

Humph! Mo Xingchen, I haven't lost yet!

...

...

But when he looked up, he saw Makino and Ace, both looking at him with contempt, and Shanks' face turned red instantly.

After all, lying to children is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Of course, he was only half joking, even Makino and Ace thought so.

This was just a joke from Shanks to tease a child. Luffy is just a child, and he might have forgotten it by the time he grows up.

What they didn't expect was that Luffy would be so stubborn and determined to stick to this agreement.

"Ahem...um...Ace, since you've decided to go out to sea to find the answer yourself, I'll give this to you."

Ace looked at the box that Shanks pushed over, which contained a fruit with a strange pattern, and asked curiously:

"what is this?"

"This is called the Rubber Fruit, and it is one of the great treasures of the sea - the Devil Fruit.

Although you can no longer swim in the sea after eating it, you can gain magical powers.

You will become like a rubber man, no longer afraid of fists, muskets, or cannons."

It was the first time for the two little kids to see this magical thing. They were very interested and lay on the bar with their little butts sticking out, staring at the fruit as if they wanted to see something special.

"Shanks, where's my present?"

Suddenly Luffy turned around, stared at Shanks with excitement, stretched out a little hand and said.

"Ah... this..."

Shanks was so embarrassed that he searched all over his body but couldn't come up with a decent gift.

Looking at Luffy's disappointed, aggrieved and almost crying expression, he made up his mind, took off the straw hat on his head and put it on Luffy's little head.

"Little Luffy, this straw hat is the most precious thing to me, even the thing I regard as my life. Now I entrust it to you.

Wait until the day you become the Pirate King, then come back and give it back to me!

This is a man's promise!"

Shanks smiled and raised his arm, holding a fist in front of Luffy.

"Um!!!"

Luffy pressed the wide straw hat on his head with one hand, nodded firmly, stretched out his other hand and clenched his fist, touching Shanks' fist.
