"What happened today? His eyelids were 'fighting' the whole time? His intuition kept warning him that something bad was going to happen.”
Luffy pondered, I've always been in Windmill Village. Nothing can threaten my life. Then, why did my intuition tell me that something bad was going to happen when I was staying in Windmill Village?”
"Perhaps, I have thought of it."
Luffy thought of something, and his face turned green. He, who was never afraid, had a terrified expression on his face. With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty and his body trembled.
"It must be…it must be grandpa!”
"Grandfather hasn't been back for a long time. Shanks and the others just left not long ago. No matter what, Grandfather should come back to take a look.”
Grandpa, the devil.
When Luffy thought of Karp's cruel training, even though he was a self-proclaimed Heavenly Dragon, he felt his scalp tingle and was filled with fear.
Training to become stronger. With Life Return, the rubber fruit, and the reference of the original Luffy's strength, Luffy could train to become stronger by himself.
There was no need for Karp's 'kind' training.
So, before Karp returned, he should hide? As long as Luffy hid in the forest and used Life Return to conceal his aura, he believed that Karp would not be able to find him.
This thought took root in Luffy's mind.
"Hide, hide. We can't let Grandpa find us.”
Luffy had been mumbling the entire morning. The " interaction " he had with Machino in the past was gone, and he should be training in the forest at this time.
Makino watched Luffy talking to himself for a long time. She couldn't help but ask,""Lord husband, do you have something difficult to decide? Can you tell me?"
Upon hearing Makino's words, Luffy snapped out of his deep thoughts. He stopped walking and sighed,""My grandfather is coming back today!”It was almost noon, and the warning from his intuition was getting stronger and stronger. There was not much time left, and he had to make a decision quickly.
"Mr. Karp? No, Grandpa."
When she heard that Karp was coming back, Makino did not question how Luffy knew. Instead, she was as conflicted as Luffy. She panicked. When she saw Karp, did she call him Mr. Karp as usual? Or should he call her grandpa?
"If you call me grandpa? If Mr. Karp knew about my relationship with Luffy, would he accept it?”
"I'm not calling you grandfather. I'm now a granddaughter-in-law.”
Makino panicked, and her face turned pale. She was worried that Karp would have a problem with her and question the age between her and Luffy, and would not acknowledge her as his granddaughter-in-law.
This was the knot in her heart that had been buried deep in her heart ever since she became Luffy's woman.
Seeing Magino's panicked look, Luffy felt pity for her. He grabbed Magino's cold hands and comforted her,""Don't worry! Grandpa is not that kind of superficial person. He won't care about our age.”
"So, now is not the time to think about this. What you should be thinking about is how to dress yourself up beautifully and how much delicious barbecued meat to prepare. This is what you should be thinking about as a granddaughter-in-law.”
Hearing Luffy's words, Makino's flustered emotions calmed down a little. She said unconfidently,""Really? Cut…Grandpa really wouldn't mind?”
Luffy patted his chest and promised," I'm his grandson. I definitely understand Grandpa's personality. I won't mind."”
"There's something I need to tell you in secret.”
Seeing Luffy's mysterious look, Makino asked curiously,""What is it?"
"Three years ago, when Grandpa came back to train me, he kept telling me this. Maginor is a very good girl. With her taking care of you, I can rest assured when I'm not at home.”
"Good luck! Work hard to woo Makino and become my granddaughter-in-law.”
Luffy pretended to speak in Karp's tone. In order to make it sound more like Karp, he even picked his nose.
"Is that really the case?" Machino asked.
"It's true!"
Luffy affirmed. Then, without giving Machino any time to think, he urged,""Grandfather will be back soon. Aren't you going to prepare? My wife."
"Yes, Lord Husband."
Maqinuo cooperated and hurriedly dressed up to make barbecue. Although he still had all kinds of worries in his heart, at least his emotions calmed down a little under Luffy's comforting.
"I can't hide anymore when Grandpa comes back.”
Luffy looked at Makino who was busy, unable to hide the panic on her face. Luffy knew that before Karp personally agreed and acknowledged her as his granddaughter-in-law, Makino would always have a knot in her heart.
"Besides, under my persuasion, I've been working hard to catch pirates these past few years. It was rare for his grandfather to be so lazy after Roger's death.”
"After working so hard, I still have to be a pirate in the end. Grandpa will definitely be sad!”
Luffy thought of the original novel, Ace's Death in the War. As a member of the navy, Karp was the grandson of a pirate who went out to sea. What could he do on the battlefield?
He could only watch as Ace was beaten to death by the red hound, Sakasugi.
This was the most tragic thing in the world.
One could imagine how much Karp's heart ached at that time!
Therefore, Luffy didn't immediately avoid Karp. Instead, he hesitated and felt guilty. Karp was disappointed and sad that he decided to become a pirate. Then, when Karp wanted to visit his grandson, he should at least let Karp not be able to see his grandson when he came back, right?
Now, Luffy noticed the knot in Maginor's heart. Then, Luffy made up his mind. After meeting Karp, he would think of a way to avoid the training of compassion.
"Alright, it's decided then."
Luffy nodded his head fiercely, looking like a hero who would never return.
The two of them didn't have to wait any longer. Far away on the sea, a warship was approaching Windmill Village at high speed. The navy flag on it had a special feature-a dog's head.
Standing in front of the warship, no matter how the warship shook, his body stood very steadily. Karp, who was wearing a dog-headed hat and had an older face, looked expectant.
"Ahahaha, I'm about to see Luffy. I'm really looking forward to it!”
" Yes," the adjutant said." I've been busy catching pirates for the past three years. Lieutenant General Karp hasn't returned to the village for three years."”
"Yeah, I really miss Luffy."
Karp grabbed the donut and started eating. He thought of something and said,"Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?”
The adjutant's mouth twitched." It's ready."”Then, he pointed at the big box behind him and said,""Those reports and the bounty are all inside.”
"Good, good!"
" Haha!" Karp laughed in satisfaction and said," This time, I want to let Lu Fei know how many vicious pirates Grandpa has caught in the past three years."”
"Let Lu Fei know how great grandfather is.”
"Do you think Luffy will immediately say that he wants to become a navy officer?" Karp said to his adjutant.”
"Definitely," the adjutant said with certainty.”
The adjutant had answered this question countless times.
Every time, Karp would never tire of asking.
As for what Karp wanted the adjutant to prepare, it was the navy newspaper that Karp had reported about the pirates. There was also the bounty for the pirates who were caught before they entered the Deep Sea Prison.
He wanted Luffy to know how difficult it was to catch these pirates and how cruel they were. Capturing these pirates and how admirable he was, Karp had put in a lot of effort.
Everything was for Luffy to become a navy officer.
