Survive By Any Means Necessary

"As expected, although Water Attribute Spirits are still restrained by the sea due to Devil Fruits, but..."

"Their own water-attribute bodies can greatly reduce this restraint!!!"

Luo Sa, transformed into a Magikarp, thought to himself as he greedily breathed.

What he needed to do now was to break out of the sea again!

Struggling to move his fish tail, Luo Sa endured the weakness all over his body and began to swim towards the surface bit by bit.

When he was tired, he would stop to rest, and then continue swimming upwards.

Thus, after persisting for an hour, Luo Sa finally reached the sea surface through unremitting effort.

"Water Splash!"

With a fierce flick of his body, the Magikarp leaped out of the water.

In mid-air, a white light enveloped the Magikarp. When the light dissipated, a Winged Gull flapped its wings and instantly soared into the sky.

"Finally escaped!"

Feeling the receding weakness, Luo Sa breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still pounding.

After escaping danger, he finally had time to properly think about what had happened before.

Why had his energy value suddenly surged tenfold?

If he could find the key to this, then becoming a Divine Beast would no longer be a dream.

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer, so he could only attribute it to a moment of enlightenment.

This time, he had benefited from misfortune. He had broken through himself in a moment of crisis and completed another transformation.

Moreover, he had verified his own thoughts, giving him a sliver of self-preservation even when falling into the sea, making him less fearful of the ocean!

"However, I seem to have another very important thing to do!"

Killing intent flashed in Luo Sa's eyes. He had almost died in the sea this time, and he didn't believe it was just an accident!

"If you want to kill me, be prepared to be killed by me. Ants, are you ready?"

Luo Sa muttered softly, spread his wings, and soared into the clouds.

Looking down at the sea from the sky, Luo Sa immediately spotted the inflatable boat carrying the Giant Axe Captain and the others.

"Huh, a seagull in the middle of the night, isn't this just a free meal for us?"

One of the cadres said excitedly, and then he was about to pull out his gun to shoot the seagull.

"You want to kill me? Even the sea couldn't kill me, do you think you can?"

Suddenly, the seagull actually started speaking human language, which startled everyone.

"It's that brat, he's not dead yet!"

Captain Giant Axe finally reacted, his whole body trembling.

The others were also greatly alarmed, and they all pulled out their flintlock guns and pulled the triggers at Luo Sa.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out, but they all missed. Not a single bullet could hit Luo Sa, who was moving at high speed.

"You guessed right, then I'll reward you with death!"

Luo Sa's eyes showed indifference. With a flash of white light, he transformed into his Winged Gull Half-Beastman form, jumped onto the dinghy, and began a one-sided slaughter.

The sea was full, reflecting the setting sun. The waves leaped about like playful children, and the water was a sheet of gold. A winged gull cut through the sky, its white wings also bathed in golden light.

"According to the magnetic field guidance of the Log Pose, I should be close to Gourmet Island. Why have I been flying for so long and still haven't seen any sign of the island!"

Luo Sa, in his Winged Gull Half-Beastman form in mid-air, held the Log Pose in his hand and frowned.

"I wouldn't get lost while holding the Log Pose, would I?"

Luo Sa rubbed his head. As expected, this kind of thing was best left to a professional navigator.

On the boundless sea, a massive, cannon-laden, mast-filled, dark blue warship cut through the waves, parting the water on both sides and leaving a snow-white wake.

The most eye-catching feature was the large, white sail.

A seagull and scales pattern was displayed on the sail. This flag represented the most powerful existence on the sea, the Navy!

However, this warship looked a bit unusual. The bow was adorned with a cute dog head sculpture, wearing a collar and holding a bone in its mouth, looking somewhat comical.

But Luo Sa couldn't laugh at this moment. His eyes were filled with excitement.

Finally, finally...

Although he hadn't found Gourmet Island, he had coincidentally encountered Garp's Dog Head Warship on the way!

"Hoo hoo hoo!"

Luo Sa took a deep breath, and the plot he had memorized by heart ran through his mind one by one.

After ensuring everything was foolproof, he quickly flew towards the Dog Head Warship.

Sensing something approaching, Garp stood up from his lounge chair, his gaze fixed on the distance.

Through his Observation Haki, he could feel a not-weak energy approaching.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the seagull before him, Garp asked in a low voice. He could tell that the creature in front of him was no ordinary seagull.

Upon hearing Garp's words, Luo Sa's body suddenly emitted white light, and then his transformed body appeared before Garp.

"Ace! What are you doing here?"

Seeing Luo Sa's face, Garp's expression changed drastically.

"Ace?"

"I am not Ace, my name is Luo Sa."

Luo Sa's expression was calm. He was confident in his appearance and wasn't afraid that Garp wouldn't take the bait.

Garp was stunned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. What did this mean?

So, this person wasn't Ace?

That's right, this person looked exactly like Ace, even the freckles on his face were identical.

But Ace's hair was black, while this person's hair was golden!

Golden... golden...

"Follow me!"

Luo Sa nodded and followed Garp into the ship's cabin. He knew that Ace was related to the Pirate King Roger, and he couldn't let those Marines find out.

"Who exactly are you?!"

In the room, Garp scanned the surroundings with his Observation Haki. After ensuring there were no issues, he asked in a deep voice.

"My name?"

"My name is Portgas D. Luo Sa, or rather, Gol D. Luo Sa!"

Luo Sa said each word deliberately, his face solemn!

He knew what his words implied!

If this got out, it would surely cause a stir!

"What?"

Garp's eyes widened, and he began to tremble and retreat. He pointed at Luo Sa, unable to speak for a moment!

"That's right, I am the son of Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge, and their twin brother born 10 months before Ace!"

Luo Sa's words were like thunder, making Garp's head buzz.

"Another son of Roger and Rouge, born 10 months earlier... could it be... could it be..."

Under Luo Sa's guidance, an answer began to form in Garp's mind.

"That's right, that's right. His appearance is almost identical to Ace's."

"I can be sure that I am the only one in this world who knows Ace's appearance and identity!"

"And his golden hair comes from his mother, Rouge!"

Garp closed his eyes in pain. Everything seemed to point to the same answer.

Luo Sa's identity was genuine!

After a long, long time, under Luo Sa's masterful acting, Garp finally confirmed Luo Sa's identity.

"I'm sorry, Luo Sa."

"You've suffered a lot all these years, haven't you?"

An apologetic glint flashed in Garp's eyes. He stepped forward slightly and pulled Luo Sa into his embrace.

"Grandfather, I'm late."

"Grandfather?!"

Luo Sa's heart warmed. This word brought to mind his own grandfather.

On that rainy night, he had left him alone.

He would never forget how his grandfather had held his hand tightly before leaving.

He knew his grandfather was worried about him!

"Grandfather, I promised you, no matter what, I would survive, by any means necessary!!!"
