One Piece: Fire Emperor Arrives

On the dog-headed warship, Garp's office.

Garp sat on the sofa, holding tea in one hand and senbei in the other. Ace sat cross-legged on the ground opposite Garp, and Law stood at the door holding his sword.

Garp's visit to the A3 base this time was actually a coincidence. He had just returned from the North Sea and happened to pass by the base to replenish supplies. Unexpectedly, he met Ace.

"Ace, have you seen Rayleigh in Shampoo Land?" Garp asked Ace while eating.

"Ah, Master Rayleigh has been teaching me how to practice this year." When mentioning Rayleigh, Ace's eyes flashed with respect and he replied with a smile.

"Rayleigh? Is that the legendary 'Pirate King's right arm' man, 'Pluto' Silbaz Rayleigh? I heard another incredible name!" Luo struggled to maintain his facial expressions and eyes. Turning towards his captain, he thought to himself: "I didn't expect that man to be Captain Ace's master."

"No wonder you disappeared suddenly for a year. It turned out that you were hiding to practice." Garp looked at Ace and asked in a deep voice, "Is it Rayleigh's suggestion?"

"No, it's my own idea." Ace shook his head and said, "After entering the new world, I realized my shortcomings. Then I happened to meet Master Rayleigh in Xiangbo Land, and he asked me to teach me how to practice."

Of course, Ace would not tell Garp that he specifically went to find Rayleigh to become his apprentice.

"It's a good thing to be aware of your own shortcomings, but that guy Rayleigh actually agreed to teach you how to practice." Garp looked at Ace solemnly and asked, "Is it because he knows your life experience?"

"Yes." Ace nodded and said, "Senior Rayleigh said he knew about my existence not long after I was born."

"That's right." Garp nodded, and then asked Ace, "What are you going to do next?"

Ace was silent for a while, then raised his head, looked at Garp, and said seriously: "Grandpa, I want to surpass that man."

"..." After hearing Ace's words, Garp ate the senbei in his hand, then put down the teacup and suddenly fell silent.

Of course, Garp knew who Ace was talking about by 'that man', but he didn't want Ace to chase that man. If possible, Garp wanted Ace to be an excellent sailor like him.

If Ace can be a marine by his side, then Garp can protect Ace better.

But Ace has now embarked on the path of a pirate, and he is a pirate with a lot of fame. He has even offended the Celestial Dragons. Although Garp also looks down on the Celestial Dragons from the bottom of his heart, he knows clearly Knowing that Ace, who offended the Celestial Dragons, would no longer be able to become a marine, and now that Ace clearly has a clear plan for his future, Garp's idea has become a fantasy.

Seeing Garp's silence, Ace didn't speak anymore, just looked at the old man in front of him quietly.

He suddenly thought of what some people said about this old man on the forum in his previous life. Even though the 76-year-old Garp was still strong, he had already passed the age of competitiveness. At this stage, Garp's only thing that could hold him down was his back. He carries the 'justice' on his back, and the only thing that can defeat him may be family love.

During the war in the original plot, this old man witnessed Ace dying in front of him. He wanted revenge but was suppressed by the 'justice' on his back. Who can understand that kind of sadness?

Thinking of that scene, Ace suddenly felt sad.

Ace and Garp were silent, but Luo on the side felt like a cat's claws were tickling him. From the conversation between Ace and Garp just now, it could be heard that his captain's life experience was definitely a big secret, but these two How can people stand up to people who stop talking mid-sentence?

It’s so uncomfortable!

My grandfather is a legendary navy, my master is a legendary pirate, he is also very powerful, and he has a mysterious father.

Although the background of his own captain has not been fully revealed this time, what Luo knows about Ace's background and relationship so far, if exposed, would be enough to surprise everyone in the world.

"With this kind of relationship, even if Doflamingo has the identity of a Celestial Dragon, there is no need to be afraid. This time he is safe!" Luo thought in his heart.

An hour later, Garp walked out of the office, with Ace and Law following behind him.

"Old man, you just let us go so arrogantly, is it really okay?" Ace asked with a sad look on his face as he looked at Garp arrogantly.

"Because you are my grandson, I won't catch you here."

"I've made up this flawless excuse, so you can leave with confidence." Garp said with confidence.

"Lieutenant General Garp, this is not an excuse at all. It would be better for you to say 'run away for them'." Garp's adjutant reminded him, but Garp completely ignored it.

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Ace looked helpless, then waved to Luo and said, "Let's go."

"Bastard, it's too heartless for you to just leave like this." Seeing Ace turn around without any regret, Garp suddenly punched Ace and said angrily: "I haven't seen my beloved grandpa for so long. , can’t we say goodbye properly?”

"What do you want, you stinky old man, you just want to beat me up." Ace covered his head and said angrily.

"Bang!" Garp punched Ace on the head again and said angrily: "I also want to be a respected elder, you ruthless grandson!"

"You stinky old man is simply unreasonable." Ace covered his head and dragged Luo out while saying angrily: "Luo, let's go."

Luo, who was already used to it, let Ace pull him expressionlessly, and then the two of them flew up and disappeared in an instant.

"Take care of yourself, you stinky old man."

Ace's figure had disappeared, but his voice came from far away.

"What a bastard's grandson." Hearing Ace's stiff concern, Garp's eyes welled up with tears, but a rather happy smile appeared on his face.

Sometimes, a word of concern can make people overjoyed. The joy of the elderly is that simple.

…

On the north coast of Essalin Island, where the Heart Pirates' ship docked, Ace and Law fell from the sky and landed on the deck.

"Captain Ace, this is the record pointer of the Chambord Islands." Luo handed the pointer he snatched from the naval base to Ace.

Ace took the record pointer from Luo's hand and said to him with a smile: "I will wait for you in the new world. Don't come too late, otherwise I may not be able to help but take care of Doflamingo in advance."

"Don't underestimate me, Captain Ace!" Luo said confidently.
