Garp can't help but think back to the past few days...
I came to Donghai just to see what Donghai had become. By the way, I thought that it had been a long time since Windmill Village came back, so I happened to be passing by Donghai this time and came back to take a look.
As for Luffy...
Although King of the Land of Grass said that brat is now working at the Land of Grass construction site, and he works very diligently, conscientiously and responsibly.
And last time he was selected as the best diligent worker, but for these... he just laughed and laughed it off.
As the grandfather of that brat, he knows his grandson's character quite well!
That kid can't give up on his dream so easily!
You must know that even his iron fist failed to persuade that brat back then!
Therefore, Luffy will go to the construction site to work honestly?
Don't be ridiculous!
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
However.
When he came to Windmill Village and saw the village chief and Makino, he immediately had to believe it!
That brat really went to work at the construction site?!
And he really got a reward from above for his hard work?
To be honest, at that time, even Navy Hero, who had defeated Rocks Pirates, hunted down Pirate King, led Marine Admiral... experienced strong winds and waves at sea, and was now over fifty years old...
He also looked like he had seen a ghost on the spot!
Luffy Is that guy really not a pirate?
What about his dream?
What about his agreement with Ace?
And Shanks's left hand... forget it, that guy's hand was well broken, so let him trick his grandson into becoming a pirate?!
Deserve it!
It's just that Luffy really won't go to sea anymore?
Although he didn't believe it in his mind, the scene in front of him forced him to believe it?!
He was also quite complicated at the time.
Especially when I think of what happened to Ace, I feel even more complicated!
only.
He didn't remember that his grandson would be a man from the sea who gave up his dream so easily!
I planned to take a good look at that brat and ask him if something happened to him?
Why do you hear others say that you feel like a different person?
However.
When he just stood up from the table and went to find Luffy, he was stopped by Makino, who said with a smile [Luffy is at work. As a grandfather, you better not disturb Luffy at this time. After Luffy gets off work, maybe you can give Luffy a surprise?]
When he heard it at the time, it made sense.
Anyway, I'm back now, so it won't be long.
The past few days of sailing had made him a little bored, so he took this opportunity to have a few drinks.
Especially when Makino brought out [Jade Liquid Wine] that he seemed to have heard somewhere some time ago, he immediately thought in his heart... As a grandfather, you really shouldn't disturb your grandson's work rashly!
Not to mention the wine tastes pretty good!
If even Roger drank it, it would be a fart!
As the person who knows Roger best, he has never seen Roger drink such wine.
A glass of wine, good wine!
After two cups, you will feel happy!
After three cups... Hey, what is he here for?
Forget it, never mind, keep drinking!
Then.
Three days passed.
Luffy still hasn't come. If it hadn't been for the village chief's reminder, he would have almost forgotten what he was here to do!
But after thinking about that brat not coming for three days, I still decided to go and see it myself.
To be honest... he was also quite curious about what that brat looked like working part-time.
I really can't think of it!
The result...
Makino and the village chief stopped him on the spot, saying that today was Land of Grass's employee commendation meeting, and as a family member, he was also invited.
It immediately reminded him of the letter the village chief had given him when he first arrived. He took it out, touched his chin, and looked at it curiously, thinking about whether to go.
After all, this... he has never encountered this in most of his life!
But Makino and the village chief persuaded him that since he was here, he should go and take a good look at his grandson's growth.
And she even dressed up specially for him!
That's right, the white hair and the crisp white suit were prepared for him by the village chief and Makino!
I just feel a little uncomfortable now!
Of course it wasn't the clothes that made him feel uncomfortable, but...
"Sir, your position is so advanced. It seems that your son must be very impressive!"
"..."
Garp looked silently at an old man behind him who was older than him and had a smile on his face.
In this lively venue, it seems that he has not yet reacted.
Don't you know him?
From the looks of it... he shouldn't be a villager from Windmill Village!
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "My grandson..."
"Oh oh oh, your grandson?" After hearing Garp's words, the old man said apologetically, "Sorry~"
Is grandpa coming to attend?
This is not surprising~.
After all, on the sea... It is not uncommon to have children without parents and parents without children for various reasons.
There are even many cases of irresponsible parents abandoning their wives and children to go to sea.
But the old man with a mouth full of missing teeth still sighed with emotion, "You can be praised at a young age. Your grandson is so outstanding!"
"?!"
This is... what are these words?
Your grandson is so wonderful!
Damn it!
I didn't expect that his dignified Navy Vice Admiral could still hear such words?!
For some reason, Garp suddenly felt like a mouthful of fine wine had been poured into his heart. At this moment, his whole body... How should I put it?
Comfortable!!!
"Hahaha!"
The confusion on his body suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his usual boldness. He laughed, patted the old man in front of him, and said, "It's not bad! It's not bad! That brat... is still far away! Where are you, brother? Are you here to participate for your son? Your son must be very good too!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Why is this old man, who is not much younger than him, so strong?
The old man coughed violently several times. After hearing Garp's words, although he was smiling, he still said seriously, "That boy is still far behind! Compared to your grandson, he is still no good! After all, he is not young anymore! He only got here now! Your grandson is still great~, maybe he can become that... oh, the next working legend!"
"Oh! That's not what I said. Although that brat has some talents and has changed a lot in the past few years, I know that his temper is still much worse! Just like his elder brother!"
When it came to the word [his eldest brother], Garp sighed, shook his head, and said in a melancholy tone, "Now because of some things, people are being arrested. It really makes me, a grandfather, worry!"
"???"
Caught?
Caught by whom?
His Majesty the King or the Navy?
Of course, the old man also knew that he should not ask too much about other people's embarrassing things, and said with some comfort, "Don't think too much. Although it seems that a lot of things have happened to you, your grandson is so capable now, and he will definitely get better and better in the future!"
"Hahaha, brother is right! It's just that brat... he's not as good as you said!"
"Brother, you are so humble! If you want to say this, my son is not worse?"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The two praised each other's pirate abilities, and Garp faced this kind of different praise that he had never enjoyed before. For some reason... he felt quite comfortable inside~!
By the way, what is he doing here?
But after a while, just when his eyes were stunned, he heard his elder brother praising his grandson again, and he suddenly laughed again.
That's not important anymore!
I don't know how much time passed.
As more and more people came to the venue, the venue became more and more lively!
At this time.
Just when the two old men were complimenting each other.
A harsh electronic sound sounded, and then...
Everyone fell silent and looked towards the stage.
"Now we invite our leader to speak!"
After the host finished speaking, the specially dressed Kusana also took the stage and gave his first year-end speech in this sea!
