"Him?! He might beat me up if he finds out about this, but he probably won't care too much... After all, he only goes back once in a while, how could he possibly have time to deal with this?"
Luffy suddenly remembered how his grandfather would punish him if he knew he had become a pirate, and said in a trembling voice.
"Really? Then I'm more interested in your grandfather."
"Just hearing your name is enough to scare you, a lawless pirate, like this? Who exactly is your grandfather?"
Seeing Luffy trembling with fear as he recalled his family, Jonathan asked his grandfather in surprise.
"Oh, his name is Garp, a stinky old man who loves to beat his grandsons!!"
Luffy was no longer afraid of his grandfather and stood still to answer.
"Oh, Garp, there seems to be no one in the Navy with that name who also knows Armament Haki, and whose rank must be quite high... wait a minute."
Monkey D.... Hey, Straw Hat Luffy, your grandpa isn't Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters, is he?
Jonathan frantically searched his mind for the name of a Marine named Garp, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him—he remembered Luffy's surname.
Then he eagerly inquired about Luffy's grandfather's position.
"Hmm, someone called him Vice Admiral. What's wrong, Fortress Uncle? Is there something special about my grandfather?"
Luffy thought for a moment and then answered.
"It seems it really is him. What should we do? If we really catch him, how are we going to explain this to that person...?"
Having made up his mind, Jonathan was now in a bit of a headache, unsure of what to do with Luffy.
"Fine, I'll just arrest you then. I'm just doing my duty anyway, and that official won't blame me for this..."
After careful consideration, Jonathan decided to capture Luffy first, and then deal with Garp.
"Um, uncle, what have you been muttering to yourself about since the beginning?"
"If you're going to make a move, then hurry up and do it. I'm not afraid of you. I need to take care of you as soon as possible before I go find my friends..."
Luffy watched in confusion as Jonathan muttered to himself. When Jonathan finally made the decision to arrest him, Luffy couldn't help but speak up.
"Hehehe, now that you've come all this way to my fortress, do you think you can leave? Don't think I'm easy to deal with..."
You should stay, Straw Hat Luffy!!
Shave... Rankyaku "
After saying that, Jonathan instantly vanished from Luffy's Luffy using Shave, appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye. He raised his right leg high, creating a Hurricane that swept across Luffy's waist, sending him flying.
boom...
Jonathan's leg, crashed Luffy into the wall, creating a hole and knocking down a series of fish specimens hanging on the wall. Stone chips fell one after another, burying him.
"Hehehe, what's wrong, Straw Hat Luffy? You're already done for? You won't be able to escape from me like this..."
Jonathan's words reached Luffy's ears, stirring him up once again.
Bang...
"Ha... wow, you're really strong, Fortress Uncle. My eyes couldn't keep up with your speed just now..."
Luffy stood up and commented on his attack.
Even with such high praise, I won't let you off the hook...
Shave... Shigan: Black Rain
No sooner had he finished speaking Jonathan appeared before him once again, his right index finger wrapped in Armament Haki as he launched a fierce attack on Luffy like rain.
"I don't need your sympathy... Rubber, rubber... Gatling!!"
Luffy spoke, he launched a counterattack against him.
Bang bang bang...
Bang bang bang...
Finger beams and fist shadows clashed continuously, the resounding booms echoing endlessly. Ripples were generated from the collisions, and Impact spread in all directions, Nami to painfully cover her ears and be constantly forced back by the Impact.
Click...
Click...
boom...
In his fight with Jonathan, Luffy gradually found himself at a disadvantage, his body being forced back continuously, and the floor beneath his feet began to crack.
Finally, Jonathan punched him in the stomach with his right fist, sending him flying again and crashing into the wall.
" Luffy, it's no use... Luffy is no match for this commander!! What should we do...?"
Nami shouted anxiously.
tread...
tread...
tread...
"So, are you admitting defeat, Straw Hat Luffy? You should know I haven't even used my true strength yet."
"If you don't want to suffer, surrender now, and I might let your companions leave... Otherwise..."
Jonathan walked over and looked at Luffy lying in the dust, offering words of comfort.
Bang...
"I will not yield to force. If you want to fight, then do it. There's no need for these words anymore. I believe my comrades think the same way..."
Luffy stood up again, looked directly at Jonathan, and spoke firmly.
"Is that so? Then I'll just have to make you lie down first... Tekkai Armament: Great Black Fist "
Jonathan appeared in front of Luffy in One Flash and swung his right hand down heavily towards him.
"Hey, just in time! Gum-Gum Rocket!!"
Luffy smiled and used his own powerful technique to meet Jonathan's fist.
boom...
Jonathan's right fist collided firmly with Luffy's arms, and the air currents became turbulent once again.
Bang...
"Ah..."
Luffy was sent flying once again by Jonathan's full-force punch.
"It's no use, Straw Hat Luffy, don't you understand? You're not capable of truly defeating me yet..."
Jonathan walked up to Luffy, looked down at him, and began to speak.
How will you know if you don't try?
Luffy struggled to his feet again and looked directly at Jonathan as he spoke.
"Stubborn to the end, then I'll show you the true strength of the strongest on this vast sea... Rokushiki Ogi - Rokuogan "
Jonathan shook his head at him, then stepped forward, his hands facing Luffy.
boom...
A powerful Impact erupted from his hand, blasting Luffy's entire body away.
" Luffy!!"
Nami called out Luffy's name anxiously.
"Is it over? Then let's arrest you all like this..."
Next up are Roronoa Zoro and Nico Robin...
Jonathan withdrew his hands, looked at Luffy who was Luffy in the smoke and dust, and then turned to head back towards their ship.
"Ahem... wait, our battle isn't over yet..."
Just as he was about to set off, Luffy's voice rang out again from the dust and smoke.
He then struggled repeatedly to get up, but without success.
"Still not unconscious? You're really tough, Straw Hat Luffy."
Jonathan glanced at him and said, then thought to himself.
"No, should I say he truly lives up to his reputation as that person's grandson?"
It was clear from Jonathan's tone that he ultimately withdrew some of his power, intentionally keeping him alive.
After all, Luffy's grandfather Garp is the strongest member of the Navy. He is not only powerful, but he has also helped most of the Marines, including Jonathan.
He had been mentored by Garp in his youth, so he would naturally show mercy to Garp's grandson to repay the favor.
"Fine, I'll give you the final blow then. I'm sure your grandfather won't say anything when he finds out..."
