【”I don’t belong to the sea, Dolag.”]
[She Ji smiled softly and pulled her golden hair around her ears, “I am a flower of Nine Snakes, I am rooted here.”]
[She pulled up Dolag’s hood, stood on tiptoe and kissed the brim of the hat gently. 】
[“You belong to the wind of the sea… If the wind stops moving, will it still be wind?” She Ji smiled softly, mixed with a rare girlish playfulness, as if she was saying these sentences for herself satisfy. She smoothed the folds of Dolag’s cloak on his chest, held it down and whispered softly to herself, “Maybe it’s the dragon hiding in the wind… Who knows? You have your things to do, and I also have my responsibilities.”]
【Embracing each other gently with Dolag at the beach. After a long time, She Ji let go of her arms, turned around and strode towards the towering Nine Snakes City. 】
[Big Bear stayed where he was with Dolag. 】
[“Let’s go.”]
[Dorag tugged on his hood. 】
[Xiong said nothing, raised his hand and patted Dorag on the shoulder, and the two of them disappeared from Nine Snake Island almost at the same time. 】
……
In the sky, something was flying.
Like…well, not like, it’s like a baby’s swaddle!
In the swaddling clothes, the boy with light black milky hair fell asleep sweetly, his mouth grinning from time to time, and he didn’t know what sweet dream he had.
A snake-shaped pendant hung around his neck, with a piece of paper attached to the bottom of the pendant.
In this way, the infant boy flew across the sea at high speed without realizing it, crossed the windless zone, and entered the first half of the great sea.
It seems that its speed will never slow down, flying, flying… flying over the islands, kingdoms, and towns below, heading straight towards the majestic and boundless red continent.
……
〖Marinvando, Navy Headquarters——〗
“Boom!!”
The sudden loud noise startled the sailors on guard and patrol, and they immediately ran towards the place where the sound broke out in a well-trained manner.
“It’s Lieutenant General Karp’s office…”
“Why did the house collapse? Oh my god, the ceiling is gone!”
“There is also a big pit on the floor…Lieutenant General Garp is lying in the pit…”
“Wait! What is Lieutenant General Garp holding in his hand?”
The sailors watched for a while, then carefully walked into the ruins-like office of the naval hero with their guns raised.
Behind the half-broken desk facing the door, the “Laughing Justice” plaque hanging on the wall was crooked and fell off.
Cracking, small sand and gravel rolled down from the corner of the roof with the skylight wide open, and pieces of sparkling dust were flying in the air.
When the sailors came to the large pit that destroyed most of the floor, they discovered that the thing in Lieutenant General Garp’s hand turned out to be… “It’s a baby?!”
Everyone was shocked!
Looking down again, under the swaddling clothes, in the center of the pit, their naval hero Lieutenant General Garp was actually lying there, holding the swaddling clothes in his hands, sleeping soundly!
The sailors hold their foreheads…
Lieutenant General Garp is really… bang! Just as he was thinking this, the sleep bubbles coming out of Garp’s nose exploded. He was startled and exclaimed: “Ah! Oops! I accidentally fell asleep!”
“How did you fall asleep?!” the surrounding sailors shouted helplessly.
“Huh?” Garp sat up, looked around, and asked in surprise, “What are you doing here? Are you going to fight?”
All the sailors shouted in unison: “We want to ask you what happened here! It seems like there has just been a war here!!”
“Ah…” Garp muttered, “I was in the room just now, and suddenly something hit me…” He then realized that he was holding a thing in his hand, and he was shocked and said, “This What is it?”
“We are the right ones to ask you!!!” The sailors were absolutely stunned.
“Lieutenant General Garp, there seems to be a note under this child’s necklace…” a sailor reminded weakly.
Garp gestured with his palm, which was bigger than the baby, carefully opened the sleeping little guy’s snake-shaped necklace, and picked up the piece of paper.
After opening it, he said: “Meng…hahu…”
“What the hell…” The sailors looked forward to it, but when they looked up, Lieutenant General Garp was holding the swaddled baby in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. He actually fell asleep again while sitting there, with sleep bubbles rising.
“Why did you fall asleep again?!” the sailors yelled.
Bah! The sleep bubble bursts. Garp was surprised: “Ah! I fell asleep again…ahem!”
He carefully read the familiar line of handwriting on the note:
“Monkey D. Luffy”
Garp read out the name slowly and laughed loudly: “This seems to be my grandson!”
The onlookers nodded and said: “Oh, it turns out he is your grandson… grandson?!!!”
Everyone took three steps back in shock and couldn’t believe it.
He looked up again at the completely open ceiling and the office that looked like a war scene. Why did a grandson of Lieutenant General Garp fall from the sky? !
Bad boy… Garp looked up at the sky. Are all these people treating him as a nanny, a mighty naval hero? !
“Wow!! Wow!!!”
The infant Luffy suddenly burst into tears.
“Lieutenant General Garp, your grandson is awake!”
“Nonsense! I saw it and heard it!” Garp lowered his head and held the baby in his hands. He had a headache. Although he adopted Roger’s son Ace, he didn’t know how to take care of the child. He just threw it away to his hometown. His friend went to take care of him, but then his little grandson started crying. Garp really had no choice at all… Hey, no, it’s not that there is nothing he can do. He can use his overlord color and domineering energy!
“Lieutenant General Garp, you can’t use your domineering attitude towards children!!” A naval henchman with good eyesight knelt down in front of Garp.
“Just a little bit…” Garp held the crying baby in his big hands and laughed, “I can control it very well. I guarantee that he will stop crying soon!”
“That’s not possible!” The kneeling sea soldier said loudly, and he leaned over to observe the baby boy and confirmed, “He is just hungry! Looks like he hasn’t eaten in a long time…”
“That brat! You’re so unreliable!” Garp immediately scolded his own son who was a ghost who didn’t know where he was. “How could you let your own son be so hungry? When you were a child, I forgot to feed you for at most a week. Just getting something to eat!”
“A week?!!” The sailors took a deep breath.
“By the way, I seem to have a little more senbei…” Garp held his infant grandson in his arms and began to rummage through the office desk that was mostly damaged.
“No! How can such a young baby eat senbei!!” The sailors shouted in protest.
“Wow!! Wow!!!”
The baby Luffy cried loudly.
Boom!
The “Laughing Justice” plaque fell completely, stirring up a cloud of dust and dancing in a ray of golden sunshine…
