One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

The old man was very happy.

Mount Korpo is not very high, but the forest is deep. There are many powerful beasts living in it, such as giant bears several stories high, tigers more than ten meters long, and crocodiles that can eat a child in one bite. Ordinary people cannot survive in the mountains.

However, the bandit Dadan family is not ordinary. Their base is on Mount Korpo. Ace and Luffy were also placed in Dadan's family by Garp.

Sometimes, Garp's behavior is always unpredictable. He put his two grandsons on a mountain full of beasts. Isn't he afraid of accidents?

Normal people can't do what Garp did. He also pushed Luffy off the cliff and threw him into the forest in the middle of the night. He tied him to a balloon and flew into the air. Luffy was able to grow up smoothly because he was the protagonist.

Bardock was not very interested in the two brothers, but there is a saying: since we are here, we are here.

Since we have come to the East China Sea and happened to come to the Kingdom of Goa, we must meet the legendary child of destiny and the posthumous son of the Pirate King.

As a result, not long after Bardock led his men up the mountain, before he started looking for people, the two brothers met head-on.

Under a huge tree, Ace held an iron pipe and protected Luffy behind him, watching Bardock and the others vigilantly, like a little lion who had been intruded into his territory.

"Who are you?" Ace asked coldly.

This big tree is the base of Ace and Sabo. His treasure is hidden in the trunk. It is the funds he prepared for going to sea when he grows up, so he is very nervous at the moment.

Bardock did not answer but asked, "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you first tell them your own name?"

"Ace, what he said makes a lot of sense. My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who wants to be the Pirate King." Luffy introduced himself seriously.

On Bardock's side, everyone had different reactions to Luffy's words.

"Oh... Monkey?"

"That's right, this is Dragon's son."

"Hehe, this little brat also wants to be the Pirate King?"

And Ace, the only word to describe him is furious.

"Are you an idiot?" Ace, like Nami in the later period, punched Luffy on the head, "It was obviously us who asked first, and he didn't answer, how could you answer first? You even said my name!"

"But..."

Luffy was hit, but he was a rubber man and was not afraid of blunt blows. He wanted to say something else, but Ace stopped him. If Luffy continues to talk, all his secrets will be exposed. It will be bad if the other side knows where his treasury is.

"Okay, now you know, I am Ace, he is Luffy, it's time to tell us who you are, right?"

Bardock nodded, "I am the adventurer Bardock, these are my partners,..."

After introducing the members of his side to the two brothers, Bardock deliberately looked at the big tree behind Ace, "What are you two kids doing here, aren't you afraid of danger? Is there anything strange about this tree?"

"This is none of your business, right?" Ace tightened the iron pipe in his hand and prepared to take action. He is a person who never compromises, but he is a little worried that Luffy will get hurt.

Luffy didn't notice the tense atmosphere and said, "We are very strong, my fist is like a pistol."

He waved his fist a few times. Now he is not even proficient in the ability of the fruit, and his punches are very sparse.

Bardock looked at Ace, "You are too nervous and too concerned about this tree. Fortunately, you met us, otherwise you would be in big trouble."

Ace didn't care. Although he was young, he was already strong. He was also a bully at the Uncertainty Terminal and had defeated the Sapphire Pirates before. Although Bardock and his men made him afraid, they couldn't make him retreat.

Seeing Ace's expression, Bardock understood that Ace's habit of never retreating had relapsed.

"Well, let you experience the cruelty of the world."

As soon as Bardock finished speaking, he appeared in front of Ace and punched Ace's head.

'So fast! ' Ace didn't see how Bardock came over. He wanted to raise the iron pipe, but time seemed to slow down, and he could only watch Bardock's fist getting closer and closer.

"Boom..."

A huge noise came out, and Ace suddenly exhaled a long breath. He almost thought he was going to die. At the last moment, Bardock's fist deviated a little.

Turning his head stiffly, Ace found that a big hole had been punched in the trunk of the tree behind him.

A big hole can be seen far behind, whether it is trees or rocks, all of them have been penetrated.

'This punch is extremely penetrating. ' Ace concluded.

"Wow, your punch is like a cannon!" Luffy screamed. Ace is fine, so Luffy seems a little heartless.

"It's okay." Bardock didn't care about Luffy's praise, "Remember, if you don't have such strength, don't rush to the new world."

People have been seen, Bardock did what he wanted, no longer stayed, and led everyone to move forward. Soon they were far away from Ace and Luffy.

"What is the new world?" Luffy asked curiously.

Ace was a little depressed at first, but after hearing Luffy's question, he became curious.

"Ah, no, this tree is going to fall, I have to move the treasure."

Ace forced himself not to think too much, quickly climbed up the tree trunk, took out his savings, and prepared to hide in another place.

Holding the package, Ace looked in the direction where Bardock left, "Hmph, Bardock? When I go out to sea, I will definitely challenge you!"
