One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

"Damn it, why is this old guy here!" Garp stopped what he was doing as he glared at Zefa who was walking towards him.

I finally had the opportunity to travel with my lovely granddaughter, how could I let this old man ruin it? Thinking about it, Garp leaned closer to An unconsciously.

Noticing her grandfather approaching her, An quickly moved a few steps to the side.

Standing there blankly, Garp raised his big hand, unable to believe An's actions.

"Are you serious about taking a step back?"

Black lines appeared on his forehead. Noticing Karp's dull expression, An held his forehead and didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa, please pay attention to your personal hygiene and show me your hands!"

"Is that so?"

Looking at his hands carefully, Garp looked around for something to wipe his hands on.

Look left, look right, your eyes fall on someone.

In the port square, Luffy, who was wearing a red vest and blue shorts, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a bad thought lingered in his mind.

"Luffy, don't move!"

At some point, Garp, wearing a white suit, appeared behind Luffy in a dazed manner.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what are you doing!"

Feeling that something was wrong, Luffy asked hesitantly.

"It's nothing, I just want to lend you some clothes."

After saying that, regardless of Luffy's objections, Garp took action directly.

"I must go to sea, I must become a pirate," Luffy made up his mind again, unwilling to endure Garp's insult.

In the distance, Zefa, Kuzan and others also came to An.

"Ann, your hair!"

As soon as they met, Zefa noticed something strange about An.

An made a casual excuse and looked at the man next to Zefa, "Long time no see, Senior Brother Kuzan."

"It's been a long time, but An, I didn't expect you to be able to do that."

"Senior Brother Kuzan, this is a good thing for you, so that your chances will be greater in the future."

Kuzan did not agree with An's statement. Although Akainu's justice was different from his own, as they were both generals, he never thought of killing him.

Patting Kuzan on the shoulder, An waved to Mars and others, "Don't think about this anymore, let's go eat!"

…

In a certain ramen shop.

"Have another bowl, boss."

"I'll have another bowl too!"

On the long table of the ramen shop, Luffy and Sally looked at each other passionately, vowing to compete.

Ignoring the two foodies, An listened carefully to Mars' report on the situation in White Bird Town.

At the end of the table, Kuzan and Ace were chatting.

Even just sitting next to him, Ace could feel the aura of this man that was at odds with him.

"Admiral Aokiji," Ace thought of the name his sister told him.

"Susuo~"

Picking up the ramen noodles with chopsticks in his right hand and putting it into his mouth, Kuzan asked vaguely: "Brother Ace, you must be a natural ability user!"

"Hoo~"

The flame between his left hand rose, and Ace showed off his fruit ability.

"Ah la la, I didn't expect it to be a Shao Shao fruit. It's really incompatible with my fruit." Putting down his chopsticks, Kuzan also released a ball of cold air.

They each recovered their abilities, and Kuzan continued to eat ramen with his head down, "Brother Ace, what are you going to do in the future, whether you want to join the navy, I can let you be my adjutant."

Kuzan also cherishes good seedlings. After all, if he wants to become a navy marshal, his subordinates must not be too weak.

Shaking his head, Ace declined Kuzan's kindness.

If this news gets out, I don't know how many people will judge Ace as ungrateful. The admiral's personal invitation is an opportunity that many people dream of.

"If you don't want to be a navy, do you want to be a pirate?"

"Yes, I do plan to become a pirate, and I also want to become a world-famous pirate."

Even if the opponent is an admiral, Ace will not hide his dream.

"I also want to be a pirate, and I will definitely become the Pirate King!"

After hearing Ace tell his dream, Luffy stood on the table and spoke his dream out of nowhere.

Sometimes I have to admire my two silly brothers, even in a room full of navy, they can still say such things confidently.

Not only An, but also Mars and others were surprised.

"Bang!"

Zefa, who hated pirates extremely, punched the table and looked at the gray-haired man in front of him with an unkind look.

"Garp, how do you educate your grandson? He doesn't want to be a good navy man, but he actually wants to be that kind of trash. And he actually wants to be the Pirate King."

While scolding Garp angrily, Zefa pointed at Luffy with disapproval.

Only this time, Garp rarely remained silent.

"Ah la la, didn't Ann tell you what a pirate looks like?"

Kuzan no longer had the previous enthusiasm and asked in a cold voice, and then the temperature in the ramen shop began to drop sharply.

"Oh, you two idiots are really going to cause me trouble," the girl's helpless voice sounded.

"Let's go to branch 113 first, and I will give you reasonable answers there.

…

In the branch office of Branch 113, Mars sent away the nearby naval soldiers and returned to the room.

Sitting on the chair of the base leader, noticing everyone's gazes, An slowly spoke.

"Brother Kuzan, Grandpa Zefa, it was my idea to let Luffy and Ace become pirates."

Facing the gazes of the two, An gave an explanation.

"It's just nonsense, An, don't you know what pirates are?"

Hearing An's explanation, the irritable Zefa directly rebuked.

"Grandpa Zefa, of course I know what pirates are like, but have you ever thought about why they become like this."

"Although some of the pirates are born evil, most of them are just victims of this abnormal world."

"An, but what does this have to do with you making them pirates?"

"As a former admiral who never kills, Zefa knows the reasons for the emergence of pirates, so he has a kind heart."

"Yes, An, this is what I want to know," Kuzan echoed Zefa's words.

"Brother Kuzan, that's why I let Luffy and Ace become pirates."

"If we only think about solving the problem of pirates, but not the cause of the pirates, then no matter how many navy ships we have, how many strong men we have, we will never be able to completely eliminate the pirates."

"The entire history of the development of the navy is a good explanation of this truth."

"So, if you want to solve most of the pirates once and for all, there is only one way!!"

"What method?"

Not only Kuzan, but everyone in this office except Garp wants to know.

"No one is innocent in this sea of ​​pirates."

Pulling open the curtains that covered the office to let the light in, An said calmly: "Overthrow the World Government."

"This is also the reason why I let Ace and Luffy go to sea. I hope that after they become pirates, they can form their own pirate groups, find their own partners, defeat the Four Emperors in the future, replace their forces, become the biggest pirates on this sea, and support me in challenging the World Government."

An said passionately, but what he thought in his heart was that if it weren't for these two idiots, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort to make up such an excuse.

After a few breaths, wondering if he was hallucinating, Zefa looked at his granddaughter in astonishment, "An, you said you want to overthrow the World Government?"

"That's right, Grandpa Zefa, don't you think there is something wrong with this world?"

"But..."

"No buts, I know this is difficult, and I also know that this plan may not succeed, but I know that this thing always needs someone to do it, so let me fire the first shot of this resistance!!"
