Before leaving, Senga still asked Makino a question, somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Shanks and Luffy have been here?"
"Yeah, a group of bandits came that day and they beat up Luffy!"
"That's right!"
"What's right?"
"Um, I mean, what happened to that group of bandits in the end?"
"Of course, Mr. Garp captured them!"
Garp?! No, is that when he should be showing up? Senga felt completely confused and continued,
"Why did Vice Admiral Garp come back that day?"
"He said he was coming back to pick up a new recruit to join the army at headquarters, so he came back here to check on Luffy first... Huh?"
At this point, Makino lightly tapped her palm with her little fist, Satori something.
"That newcomer must be Senga! What a coincidence! Luffy and I both want to thank Senga. Without you, Mr. Garp really wouldn't have been able to come back!"
It really is related to me!?
Senga was truly dumbfounded this time. Wasn't Garp usually able to go wherever he wanted?
In the original story, was it that Sengoku didn't give him leave that time?
Senga hand to her forehead and said weakly,
"And then what? Vice Admiral Garp can't just do nothing when he encounters Shanks, can he?"
"Mr. Garp and Shanks got into a fight, and they smashed a lot of things here!"
Did they just break some things? It seems those two were quite restrained; otherwise, it's uncertain whether this village would even exist.
"What happened in the end? Shanks still ran away?"
"Yeah, but Vice Admiral Garp said he was going to pick you up, so he left in a hurry. Shanks came back not long after he left and spent some time with Luffy. After Shanks left, Luffy kept saying he wanted to be the One Piece. Oh, and Luffy's body has also become very strange, like Play-Doh!"
After hearing what had happened, Senga nodded thoughtfully. He also felt that Shanks becoming Four Emperors was a bit premature, and it seemed that his arrival had triggered a series of chain reactions.
Thinking of this, Senga raised his head, smiled at Makino, and said,
"Okay, I understand. I'll go check on Luffy now."
"Okay, remember to come back for a drink when you're done with your work. I'll give you a free meal here!"
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony, goodbye."
After saying that, Senga downed the orange juice in one gulp, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the ROOM space unfolded.
Sensing the general location of the forest to the east, Senga's figure vanished from the seat with a thought.
Makino stared blankly at the spot where Senga had just been sitting, not understanding why the person who was sitting there had suddenly disappeared.
When Makino came to her senses, she looked down and saw Beli left on the counter. Frowning, she grabbed Beli and rushed out of the store, shouting at the doorway,
"Senga! I already said you don't need to pay!"
After shouting, Makino stood at the door with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks. After a while, she chuckled and shook her head slightly.
"What a strange person!"
In a forest east of the Foosha Village,
Little Ace was looking at Luffy lying on the ground with a mocking expression.
"Is that all you've got, Luffy? You should just stay in the village for now!"
Provoked by Ace's words, Luffy shouted angrily.
"I will definitely become stronger! Carrying Sabo's share, I will become the One Piece!"
Upon hearing Sabo's name, Ace fell silent. Sabo's "death" had become an inescapable nightmare for both him and Luffy.
He's been sparring with Luffy like crazy these past few days, trying to vent his frustration through his fists, but he still can't avoid bringing it up again. Luffy, you idiot!
Thinking of this, Ace clenched his fists, about to say something, when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Kid, what kind of king did you just say you wanted to be?"
Ace's eyes widened suddenly; he realized that he had been enveloped in shadow without even noticing.
Startled, Ace turned around stiffly and saw Senga's face.
A shadow fell over Senga's face, with only his Rinnegan glowing with a faint purple light. (Tianlai Novel Network)
A powerful sense of oppression washed over him, Ace froze on the spot. He opened his mouth to say something, but was once again interrupted by the single-minded Luffy.
"I said I want to become the One Piece!"
Oh no!
Ace sensed the danger immediately and raised his hand to launch an attack, but just as his fist was about to touch Senga's body, an invisible force erupted.
Bang! Ace was thrown back, his back slamming heavily against a tree, before slowly sliding down and collapsing to the ground.
But he still shouted at Luffy with all his might,
"I can't move! Luffy, run!"
Senga glanced at Ace, who still had the strength to shout, and was somewhat surprised. Although the Shinra Tensei he had just used was extremely weak, even an adult would be bedridden for ten days or half a month after being hit by it.
"He didn't faint. Well, that makes sense; after all, he's Roger's bloodline."
Regardless of what she was thinking, Senga's face remained expressionless; she simply said,
"If you dare to lay a hand on me again, you won't have a chance to speak again."
"Damn it, who are you?!"
"A navy."
Upon hearing that Senga was actually a Marine, Ace was momentarily speechless. As everyone knows, pirates and Marines are mortal enemies, so it's understandable that this Marine would react this way.
Luffy also got up at this moment. Seeing Ace unable to move, an angry expression appeared on his face. He swung his arm in a circle and muttered something under his breath.
"Rubber..."
Realizing Luffy's intention and recalling what Senga had just said, Ace disregarded his own situation and shouted again.
"Stop Luffy! You'll die if you do that!"
"Huh? But Ace, you..."
Luffy looked at Ace with a puzzled expression, but his hands didn't stop moving.
Seeing that Luffy was still about to attack, Ace was extremely anxious. He felt a strange power surging from within him, and he shouted...
"I told you to stop! Did you hear me!?"
With a whoosh, as Ace's emotions surged, a Domineering Aura erupted from his small body, causing the hem of Senga's black robe to flutter in the wind.
Luffy's rubber face was blown into an abstract shape, making him look somewhat comical.
The impact of that aura dissipated after a while; Ace passed out, and Luffy's face returned to normal, as he looked around blankly.
"Huh? Something amazing just happened. What was it?"
Only Senga stood there with her arms crossed, her lips twitching.
He knew exactly what had just happened; it was simply that Ace had unintentionally released Conqueror's Haki.
However, among those present, not to mention Senga herself, Luffy also possesses this ability, so Conqueror's Haki has no effect on either of them, making it seem as if nothing had happened.
I wonder if this is Ace's first Awakening of Conqueror's Haki. If so, then what am I? A master Senga?
But according to the normal script, shouldn't Ace be the one to Luffy, and then unleash his Conqueror's Haki?
How did it become that Ace unleashed his Conqueror's Haki because he got too excited while scolding Luffy?
Everything is completely out of control.
