Chapter 146

Then.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

The three of them raised their heads almost simultaneously, a bubble rising from their nostrils, and they were already fast asleep.

"Hey! She's asleep!"

Sanji, who was initially excited to see the naval hero, suddenly screamed in surprise.

What's going on?!

Chapter 102 The Brothers' Challenge! Sanji's Strange Behavior

What are these three guys up to?!

And this old man is the legendary Vice Admiral Garp? He seems so unreliable!

Sanji a little disheveled.

Naito, however, remained calm. He had already gotten a good idea of what Garp was like during his week-long Conqueror's Haki training.

Soon, with a pop, Garp's snot bubble burst.

The white-haired old man opened his eyes as if waking from a dream, "Oh no, he actually fell asleep!"

Then, seeing his two grandsons sleeping soundly on either side, he immediately flew into a rage, "Hey, Ace, Luffy, how dare you be so slacking off in front of this old man!"

Two fists, larger than sandbags, slammed heavily onto the heads of the two boys.

Ace and Luffy were hit and fell heavily to the ground.

"It hurts!!"

The two men instantly woke up from their dreams, clutching the large bumps on their heads and screaming in pain.

What are they doing?

Sanji swallowed hard, somewhat at a loss.

Was that a heavy-handed approach?

The floorboards were cracked from being smashed by the two teenagers.

"You old geezer!"

Ace roared and grimaced as he scrambled to his feet, his fists clenched. "It hurts so much! What are you doing?!"

"Ace..."

Luffy looked at Ace, who was baring his teeth at his grandfather, with a look of horror on his face.

Ace, did Grandpa kill you?

Naito watched all of this with great interest.

In this world, only Garp could probably make King Luffy show a look of fear.

The psychological trauma Luffy suffered as a child was simply too deep.

"I'm just teaching you that as marines, you must never be careless!"

Garp spoke with a rather arrogant tone.

"Who wants to be a marine!"

Ace gritted his teeth and shouted, "Luffy and I will become pirates! We'll become freer than anyone else!"

"That's right!"

At this point, Luffy suddenly found his courage. The eleven-year-old boy got up from the ground, put his hand on his straw Straw Hat, and loudly declared,

"Grandpa, I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

You two idiots!

Enraged, Garp punched the two brothers twice more, smashing them into the floor. "I've always trained you with the belief that I'll make you the best marines!"

"You just want to kill us, don't you?--"

Ace groaned weakly.

That old geezer's fist was too heavy.

"This--"

Sanji couldn't help but swallow.

Vice Admiral Garp's grandson wants to become a pirate?

What a magical turn of events!

Ain and Binz also felt a chill run down their spines. Was this something they should be listening to? Would Vice Admiral Garp make things difficult for them because of this?

Hahahaha!

Garp suddenly turned around with a grin, looked at Naito, and said, "These two brats are a bit too arrogant. Naito, just pretend you didn't hear that."

"I'm not so bored as to argue with a brat."

Naito casually remarked, "Let's talk about it when they actually become pirates."

I will not allow that day to come!

Garp looked down at his two grandsons, who were sitting up clutching their heads, and said, "Listen up, Luffy, Ace, you two must become excellent Marines like Naito!"

"No way!"

Ace gritted his teeth, turning back to glare at Naito. "And what's so great about this guy! A new hero? He doesn't even look that much older than me!"

Strictly speaking, she is four years old.

Ace is fourteen years old, while Naito is eighteen.

"That's right, that's right!"

Luffy glared at Naito with a defiant look, "Even if I become a pirate, you won't be able to catch me! You big bad guy!"

"Hey, Luffy..."

Ace, who had been so aggressive, froze for a moment after his little brother's statement. He said irritably, "Generally speaking, pirates are the bad guys."

"That's right! The Navy guys are the real heroes!"

Luffy snapped out of his daze, then glared at Naito again, puffing out his cheeks, "Don't get too cocky! You're such a nice guy!"

Naito seemed to be tense but wasn't.

As expected of King Luffy, he's really quite interesting.

"Two ignorant brats!"

Garp suddenly smiled slyly, "Naito, can you do me a favor?"

"As long as it's not too troublesome."

Naito had a pretty good idea of what the old man was thinking.

"Hehe, let these two arrogant brats see just how strong the enemies they'll be facing after becoming pirates!"

That's what Garp said.

"That suits me perfectly!"

Ace clenched his fist, looking at Naito with excitement, "You old geezer, as long as we beat this guy, you're not allowed to interfere in our affairs anymore!"

"Hahahaha!"

Garp burst into laughter. "No problem! You can go all out!"

"We won't lose!"

Luffy grinned immediately, "My fists are now more powerful than bullets!"

"How's it going, Naito?"

Garp looked at Naito, "Please!"

Are you bullying a child?

Naito smirked. "That's quite interesting."

Behind her, Ain shook her head helplessly; Naito still had a rather wicked sense of humor.

Soon, under the worried gaze of the tavern owner, Miss Makino, the Ace brothers stood outside the tavern, rubbing their hands together and watching Naito standing not far away opposite them.

"Naito, right!"

Ace, carrying his ever-present iron pipe, twirled it several times with his fingers in a flashy manner before grabbing it and pointing it at Naito, saying, "Don't go telling the old man about getting all beaten up!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Eleven-year-old Luffy was completely Ace's echo, grabbing his right wrist with his left hand and feigning a fierce expression on his round face, "We're going to beat you to tears!"

Naito simply held up one finger in response to the two boys' boastful words.

"Um?"

Ace tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"Will the battle end in one minute?"

Sanji guessed.

How could it possibly take a minute?

Binz chuckled and said, "Naito's saying he can take down two kids with one finger, right?"

"What?"

Ace immediately flew into a rage, "One finger? You're seriously underestimating me!"

Only Ain watched Naito's retreating figure.

She felt that one finger might not be Naito's limit.

This guy could be even more arrogant and domineering.

"Don't misunderstand,"

Naito raised his hand, a strand of soft hair falling. "One finger is still too much."

"Hey, you're actually quite smart—"

Ace hadn't even finished speaking.

He then saw Naito pull up a strand of hair. "I mean, a tuft of hair is enough."

"Asshole!!"

Ace was instantly enraged.

Binz burst out laughing. "One finger is too much?" meant that it was absurd for these two kids to be qualified to fight against one of his fingers.
