Garp couldn't help but recall the past few days...
He had only come to the East Blue to see what it had been turned into, and since he hadn't returned to Foosha Village in quite some time, he decided to stop by while passing through the East Blue.
As for Luffy...

That brat had really gone to work at a construction site?!
And he had actually received commendation from his superiors for being hardworking?

Served him right!
But was Luffy really not going out to sea?
Though he found it
