One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Villa in Monte Colpo.

After a morning of hard practice, An and Ace replenished their energy through lunch.

At the dinner table, Luffy was talking endlessly about how he defeated Ciel.

An, Ace, and Sabo looked at each other, with deep helplessness in their eyes.

…

House of bandits.

Dadan and the other three sat cross-legged in front of Garp for interrogation.

Faced with Garp's majesty, Dadan explained what the four people had done.

Garp looked at Dadan with ferocious eyes, "You mean An and the four of them built a new house and moved to another place."

"That's right, Mr. Karp!"

"An's strength is really too strong!"

"The three of us can't stop the four of them."

Dadan also pointed to the renovated pillar.

Looking carefully at the restored pillar, Garp nodded and agreed with the three people's views.

However, instead of expressing apology, Garp burst out laughing, "I see, I mean, it feels like your shabby house has gotten a lot bigger."

Hearing Garp's ridicule, the Dadan trio did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"It's not your fault Dadan. You should know where their new house is. Take me there."

Hearing that Garp did not blame himself, Dadan finally let go of his worries and it seemed that he would not have to go to jail.

He rubbed his sore legs and quickly led Garp towards the small villa.

The long mountain path leads into the distance, and a small villa on the top of the mountain appears in their sight.

Garp, who missed his grandson, left Dadan behind and headed towards the top of the mountain using Moon Steps.

In the living room on the first floor, An and the others were still undergoing Luffy's mental torture.

At a certain moment, An's eyes and ears sensed that a powerful aura was flying rapidly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

An didn't need to think twice to know who the owner of this breath was.

I muttered in my heart: "Counting the time, it's time for grandpa to come back."

As for why not other strong people?

After all, in a place like Mount Colpo, there would be people besides Garp coming here.

A few breaths later, Garp's majestic body appeared in the living room of the villa.

An was still lying on the sofa with a half-dead look.

But Ace, who was facing Garp, widened his eyes.

Sabo also noticed the person coming, and after noticing Ace's expression, he kept quiet knowingly.

Luffy, who had his back to Garp, saw the serious expressions of Ace and Sabo and told his story even more excitedly.

Garp, who was behind Luffy, also listened with interest and did not interrupt Luffy.

Finally following Hill's defeat, Luffy stood directly on the sofa.

Ace and Sabo, who guessed what Luffy was going to do, quickly opened their mouths to stop Luffy.

Luffy took the lead and shouted to Ace and Sabo: "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

Garp, who had been listening with great interest, suddenly turned dark and his breath became cold.

It's so cold! Luffy shivered.

Grabbing Luffy, Garp's cold voice sounded in Luffy's ears, "Luffy, what did you say you wanted to be?"

With his body hanging in the air, Luffy turned around in horror and looked at his grandfather with a gloomy face, hesitating and unable to speak for a long time.

Garp's angry voice sounded again, "Luffy, what did you just say you wanted to be?"

As if feeling the weight of Shanks' hat on his back, Luffy summoned up the courage to shout to his grandfather: "I will definitely become the Pirate King."

After the words fell, Ace and Sabo stared at Luffy with admiration.

Bastard Luffy, I trained you to become an excellent marine, what nonsense are you talking about.

"Do you know what a pirate looks like?" Garp's furious voice echoed through the villa.

Perhaps it was the oath he just made that gave Luffy courage. Luffy retorted: "I don't believe in becoming a navy. I want to become a free pirate."

As for what a pirate looks like and what it has to do with me, "I will definitely become the Pirate King." Luffy touched the straw hat on his back to strengthen his belief.

When he heard Luffy say he wanted to become a pirate for the third time, Garp couldn't bear it anymore and prepared to teach Luffy a lesson.

"Grandpa, wait a moment!" An, who was originally lying on the sofa, sat up.

Looking at the only granddaughter who could bring him comfort, Garp stopped his fist.

"What's wrong Ann?"

It was nothing, An said with a smile: "I just want to remind you that the effect is better with this one."

I don't know when An had a branch in his hand.

Luffy turned pale when he saw the branch his sister took out.

With a stiff smile on his lips, Luffy stammered.

"Grandpa...grandpa...grandpa, you'd better hit with your fists. I miss your loving fists a little bit."

Seeing that Luffy was starting to speak incoherently, Garp still didn't understand.

Taking the branch from An's hand, an invisible black-red aura slowly attached to it.

"Ah! Ah!"

"No! Grandpa..."

"Ah! I know I was wrong, grandpa..."

"Ah! Grandpa, why did your beating hurt more than my sister..."

"Stop fighting..."

"Stop fighting..."

"You can't kill people like this..."

"Ah! Grandpa, I don't want to be the Pirate King anymore. Stop fighting..."

"I'm sorry Shanks! It hurts too much."

At this moment, Luffy looked like a monkey stomping back and forth on the living room floor.

Listening to Luffy's series of screams, Ace and Sabo couldn't help shaking.

An complained in his heart, "You even used Conqueror's Haki to beat your grandson."

...

The branch was swung by Garp and made a loud noise. Luffy, who finally couldn't bear the pain, humiliated Garp and said that he would not become a pirate.

After hearing Luffy's promise, Garp put away the branch and had no intention of returning it to An.

Seeing that his grandfather finally stopped, Luffy, who was rolling on the ground, secretly told himself in his heart, "I must become a pirate and must escape from my grandfather's clutches."

After dealing with Luffy, Garp's eyes turned to Ace and Sabo.

Ace and Sabo, who witnessed the tragedy of the world, bowed 90 degrees and greeted Garp.

Noticing the change in Ace, Garp showed a sense of relief in his eyes, thinking to himself that it was indeed the right decision to save An.

Although the two were very polite, Garp still said, "You two won't become pirates, will you?"

"No, no..."

The two men, who had a strong desire to survive, kept waving their hands, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would be beaten up like Luffy.

The two secretly glanced at Luffy, who was rolling on the ground in pain.

Very good! Garp was obviously very satisfied with the affirmative answer from the two.

An, who witnessed Garp's series of operations, secretly sighed that it was no wonder that Luffy and his friends wanted to become pirates every day.

A ball of emerald green flame was thrown at Luffy. Luffy, who was still rolling, stopped immediately and quickly hid behind An, not remembering who gave the branch to his grandfather.

What is that? Feeling the strangeness of the flame of life, Garp asked.

The ability attached to the devil fruit, while speaking, threw a large ball of flame of life at Garp.

Immersed in the flame of life, Garp felt refreshed and seemed to be several years younger.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Garp did not intend to ask more questions. Instead, he changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "An, I went back to Windmill Village this time to pick you up to the Navy Headquarters."

"I know," An replied calmly.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, it was actually time to say goodbye.

An still found it difficult to give up this ordinary life and the three people in the ordinary life.

"Sister is leaving!"

Ace and the other two, who were still afraid of Garp, felt a sense of confusion creeping into their hearts.

The three of them seemed to have lost their backbone, and their faces unconsciously revealed a confused look.

"Why do you put on such an expression?" An Qiang smiled.

"Each of us has our own dreams, and one day we will be separated."

"Just like there is no banquet that never ends in this world."

"There will be a day of separation among close people."

"But every separation of ours is for a better meeting next time."

Feeling that he could not hold back his tears, An rushed the three to the training room to start afternoon training.

The living room was silent, and sobs came from the training room.

…

At night, the once lively restaurant became dull, and the three of them finished their meal early and returned to their room.

A sleepless night.

…
