Chinjao, Who Hated Luffy's Family
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Hey, old man with the Whitebeard, you actually went and declared war on the Navy behind my back! How 'dishonest' of you! But don't worry, I definitely won't be absent this time." Kaido took a big gulp of sake, then shouted towards the outside of the room, "Someone come here!"
"Your Excellency, what is it?" A subordinate rushed in from outside, knelt on one knee, and asked anxiously.
"Gather the Flying Six, and then gather all the ships you can find. Tell them a war is about to begin!" Kaido ordered.
"Yes, Governor." The subordinate nodded, turned, and left the room to carry out Kaido's orders!
"Oh ho ho ho, God from Beyond the Domain, before this war begins, let me see what interesting things you have to reveal!" Kaido grabbed his sake jug, drinking as he spoke.
The New World, Red Force.
"Sigh! Luffy has already participated in the Paramount War. Isn't this kind of ultimate showdown a bit too early for him? I really don't know what he's thinking!"
"You forgot! Ace is Luffy's brother! A long time ago, when he came to see the boss, he mentioned this. Luffy did this to save his brother, so it's perfectly understandable."
"Oh! I remember now! I forgot about that! Should we go and help them out?!"
"We can't decide that; it depends on the boss's decision!"
Sensing the questioning looks from the crew, Shanks' expression flickered with struggle as he asked, "To go or not to go, that is the question!"
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Hey! Luffy's going to show up at Paramount War, does that mean we'll all be there too?!" Chopper exclaimed in surprise.
"No! That's Marine Headquarters! Ah! No, we're already on our way there!" Usopp cried out, clutching his head, before suddenly snapping back to reality.
"Stop it! Usopp, you're talking about us now, but in the Jianying, Cavendish didn't mention us, only Luffy. Does that mean that in another timeline, only Luffy participated in that war?!" Nami tapped Usopp on the head, analyzing the situation.
"If that's the case, then where are we? Why aren't we with Luffy?!" Robin asked anxiously. "Could something have happened to us in the future?"
"Oh! If that's really the case, then Luffy... he'll be in a lot of pain!" Franky said with some concern, looking at Luffy of the ship.
"That's possible. Cavendish just found it troublesome and that's why he didn't mention us. Didn't you notice that even with the Four Emperors — the Whitebeard Pirates —he only mentioned Whitebeard's name?" Nami comforted him.
"That's possible. We can only wait for the God from Beyond the Domain to announce it!" Sanji concluded.
In the video footage, Cavendish, having learned from Jesus Burgess's previous experience of disguising himself to participate in the race, appears to be in a similar situation.
Therefore, it is speculated that other members of the Worst Generation may be hiding their identities and similarly disguising themselves to participate in the competition.
Hearing this, Luffy, who was standing next to him, felt a wave of fear.
At that moment, Chinjao, the twelfth leader of the Happo Navy, stroked his beard and Luffy and Chinjao, laughing, "Oh dear! Oh dear! This is the audience seating area!"
Without Luffy and the other's feelings, he squeezed his way over to them, pushing them into a corner. Then, looking out over the edge of the arena, he said, "Wow, the view is really clear!"
"It's so narrow!" Luffy and his companion cried out in pain. "Oops! My apologies!" Chinjao, as if he had just noticed them, quickly pulled back and said...
"What are you doing, uncle?" Luffy exhaled and asked.
"By the way, how is Mr. Garp's health, Mr. Straw Hat Luffy?" Chinjao didn't answer him, but suddenly asked.
"Hey! Do you know my grandfather?" Luffy asked instinctively.
"What?" Cavendish, standing next to him, was startled, his eyes widening as he stared at Luffy in disbelief.
Luffy realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
However, Chinjao replied to himself, "I was almost killed by Garp before! Ever since then, I've hated him for generations, down to his grandchildren!"
"Garp was a true demon to pirates back then, and even after decades, my wounds still haven't healed."
As he spoke, Chinjao reached out and touched his head. "Therefore, this grudge will be settled by your grandson!"
Luffy, who was being relentlessly pressed by Cavendish, instinctively retorted, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. If you have a grudge, go find my grandfather!"
To everyone's surprise, Cavendish drew his sword upon hearing this, declaring that if he were truly the Straw Hat Luffy, he would make him bleed on the spot.
On the other hand, Chinjao had no such concerns, stating that if he had known earlier that Garp had a son—Dragon—he wouldn't have let Luffy be born into this world. He then headbutted the two of them.
On the screen, various comments immediately appeared: {Sigh! Why does Chinjao hate Garp so much? What did Garp do to him?}
{It's said that Chinjao's head used to be cone-shaped, but now it's like this. Did Garp beat him up like this?}
{If you can't beat someone's grandfather, why take it out on their grandson? What kind of skill is that?}
{ Chinjao is so old now, it's questionable whether he can even beat Straw Hat Luffy. What if he not only loses to the grandfather but also to the grandson? That would be a huge embarrassment!}
