Garp arrives

After all, a freely movable island would undoubtedly play a significant role in the navy's strategic planning. He foresaw that if the Iceburg design succeeded, the Future form of warfare might undergo a radical transformation.

Haku's eyes narrowed slightly!

He thought to himself, "Perhaps! If I could get my hands on the Float-Float Fruit!"

Thinking about this, Haku became excited.

He didn't just want to transform the entire G5 Base into a ship sailing on the sea; he also wanted to transform G5 Base into an aircraft carrier in the air!!!

Haku can already imagine the future where he'll fly the G5 Base into Mary Geoise!

Of course, this was just Haku's imagination.

Haku believed that the person who had been sleeping on the highest throne must be no ordinary person!

Moreover, the whereabouts of that creature remain a mystery; even the Uranus hasn't found a single clue yet.

The only force capable of creating such a situation is the World Government!

This further confirms that the Uranus is very likely in that person's hands!

Of course, at the very least, it must be under the control of the Five Elders!

Without understanding the World Government's true intentions, Haku certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to attempt to conquer Marineford.

Just as Haku was returning from Iceburg's company!

An unexpected important figure appeared at the bustling Harbor of the Water 7.

That's right, the legendary Marine, Iron Fist Garp, who once cornered the Pirate King several times, has arrived at Water 7.

Since Haku hadn't unleashed his Observation Haki, he was unaware that not far behind him, Garp was leading his Marine subordinates toward Luffy and the others' lodgings!

Haku's Observation Haki was currently focused on the Ship Spirit hidden on her body, so she was naturally unaware of what was happening behind her!

As he entered the room, he felt the whistling wind coming from the back of his head.

When Haku came to her senses, he was completely embedded in the wall!

However, the most pitiful one at the scene wasn't Haku, but Luffy fell asleep while eating.

After Garp sent Haku flying with his iron fist, he looked around and, to the astonishment of the Straw Hat Pirates, finally spotted Luffy!

"Still the same as before, a hopeless case!"

Garp flashed forward, and before anyone else could fully react, he shouted, "Get up!"

And just like that, he punched Luffy in the head!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Luffy kept crying out in Pain after Garp punched him on the head.

"Pain? Are you kidding me? Besides, that was just a fist! How could it be effective against an opponent?" Sanji said, looking at Luffy in astonishment.

Garp's lips curled into a smile as he confidently declared, "A fist filled with love is irresistible! And besides, you've really gone a bit too far, Luffy!"

"Ah! Grandpa, Grandpa!" Luffy, his eyes looking as if he had seen some kind of monstrous flood!

Haku, who had been embedded in the wall, finally broke free and said in a low voice, "You old fool, you actually attacked me from behind!"

The Straw Hat Pirates' reaction wasn't that big, partly because Haku had already revealed some of Luffy's identities.

"Ah! No wonder that figure looked so familiar, it was you, Haku," Garp said with a hearty laugh.

It's like he wasn't the one who just knocked Haku away!

Haku's lips twitched; a large bump had appeared on the back of his head. Clearly, Garp hadn't held back much.

Garp turned his gaze to Luffy and said, "You brat, I'll settle the score with you after I've dealt with Luffy!"

Haku rolled her eyes!

Meanwhile, Nami stared at Garp in disbelief and asked, "Luffy, is that your grandfather?"

Luffy, rubbing his bumpy head, said, "That's right, please don't make a move! I've almost been killed by Grandpa countless times before!"

Haku nodded, resonating with those words to some extent, because he had been personally trained by Garp since he was a child!

"Hey! Don't put it so harshly. I'll throw you into Thousand-Zhang Abyss, I'll throw you into Deep Forest at night, I'll tie you to a balloon and release you into the sky."

"That's all so that we can train you into a strong man!" Garp said matter-of-factly.

Haku's eye twitched, because the training Garp had given him back then was practically torture!

Meanwhile, Garp, in his final words, exclaimed excitedly, "I trained you to be a powerful Marine soldier! Why can't you learn from Haku and become Marine Admiral someday? Go out to sea and fight a few Four Emperors for fun!"

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were speechless, and even the Marines who had come to Water 7 with Garp didn't know what to say.

Most importantly, the Master Garp was talking about was leisurely munching on sunflower seeds while watching Garp and Luffy's argument!

Luffy jumped to his feet and exclaimed excitedly, "I'm different from Haku! Haven't I always said I wanted to be Pirates?!"

Garp said unhappily, "Are you under the influence of Red-Haired? How could you say something so pointless!"

Luffy looked at Garp and said, "Shanks saved my life, you're not allowed to speak ill of him."

"You actually ordered Grandpa not to say such things!"

Luffy's attitude made Garp even more displeased, and he grabbed Luffy by the Luffy, wanting to teach him a lesson with his fist.

Nami and the others were caught in a dilemma: should they step forward to stop them, or not?

Nami turned her gaze to Haku and said anxiously, "Haku, can you help Luffy?"

Haku casually picked up the coffee cup on Robin's seat, took a leisurely sip, and said, "Help what? Am I supposed to go up there and get beaten up?"

He looked at Luffy, who was struggling in Garp's grasp but dared not fight back, and continued with a smile, "Don't worry, Luffy is, after all, the old man's grandson. He won't kill Luffy."

After hearing what Haku said, Nami had no choice but to give up in the end.

After reprimanding Luffy, Garp said to Luffy, "Luffy, do you even know what kind of existence that man named Red-Haired is in the Pirates?"

"Shanks? Grandpa, do you know where Shanks is right now? Where are they?" Luffy asked Garp, rubbing his head.

Garp looked at Luffy speechlessly and said, "What do you mean 'good' or 'bad'? Don't you know that among the countless Pirates, he's one of the Four Emperors, on par with Whitebeard!"

"In the latter half of the Grand Line, they reigned supreme over the New World like emperors! And the only forces capable of rivaling this power are the Marine Headquarters and the Shichibukai!"
