Capítulo 46: Chapter 46 General Garp
"Huh?" Aludo raised his head blankly. Just now, what did I hear?
"Ah?" Loya was completely stunned by Garp's sudden question. Just now, what did I hear?
"What?!" The crowd, who had pricked up their ears, screamed in unison. Just now, what did we hear?
Garp picked at his ears impatiently: "I'm making you so noisy! Why don't you accept a disciple? What's the fuss about?!"
These words were so righteous that they almost made Loya feel like his ability to accept was too poor.
But the crowd thought it was not surprising for someone to accept disciples, but—
Lieutenant General Garp! It's strange that you want to take on disciples, okay?
I remember when Kuzan was still your subordinate, you never said that you wanted to take him on as a disciple, so what's going on now?
Loya really couldn't come to grips with why Garp suddenly wanted to accept him as a disciple.
Why does this kind of unfolding have a strange sense of déjà vu?
My name is not Zhao Ritian!
In the One Piece world, the relationship between a disciple and a master is mostly informal.
At sea, what people yearn for is freedom; whether they are good or bad, they are all in pursuit of freedom.
Therefore, people in this world, especially men at sea, generally regard accepting apprentices as troublesome and often refuse to take on disciples.
Hawkeye taught Zoro for two years, and Rayleigh taught Luffy for two years. So are they master and apprentice? Of course not.
From the perspective of the sea, it is more like, "I can teach you, but you are not my disciple."
Kuzan "became" Loya's teacher, or he acquiesced to this title because Loya was annoying him. Kuzan never publicly declared that Loya was his disciple.
Zefa accepted apprentices out of habit.
In the past, he was known as the general who did not kill, but one could imagine his personality was much better than Garp's "Evil Ghost" name. This character trait was magnified when he lost his family and became the chief instructor of the recruit battalion, making him love all recruits and regard the recruits of the elite battalion as his disciples.
And Garp!
Are you loving or being entangled?
Besides, Loya couldn't compliment Garp's educational effectiveness.
He taught one son and became the leader of the Silencer army.
He taught two grandsons and they became pirates.
One is the captain of the second division of Whitebeard; although he fell short after a few years! The other, unsurprisingly, is the future Pirate King!
Are you accepting me as your apprentice now, planning to send me towards piracy or to rebel against the World Government?
To sum up, Loya decisively chose to refuse: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Garp, but I can't be your disciple."
"Eh~!!!"
Aludo lifted Loya excitedly. The latter was about to punch him but found that Aludo had burst into tears at some point: "I'm so envious... No, damn it! You actually rejected Lord Garp! Do you know who he is?"
Loya reluctantly broke free and stood on a stool to straighten his collar. Before he could speak, he heard Garp's incredulous voice.
"You refused! Boy, tell me why, or you'll be finished today!"
Garp's original purpose was to annoy Zefa. Think about it; everyone knows that Zefa has acquiesced to Loya being his disciple. Now that he has stepped in, will Zefa get an angry brain hemorrhage when he finds out?
The two have been comrades-in-arms for decades, and they never let go when they can annoy each other.
He had even thought of several ways to deal with Loya, but what he never expected was that Loya would reject him!
This made Garp's old face lose its composure. It was himself who was out of tune on weekdays, and Sengoku who was angry and panicked. When was it his turn to panic?
"Fuck!"
Garp suddenly knocked his head.
He found a justification for himself: "Loya, you must not know, right? After all, you were an ordinary person before. Come and let me tell you, I am Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp of the Navy Headquarters..."
Before Garp could finish his words, Loya immediately interrupted his boasting with a look of contempt: "The naval hero who personally captured Gol D. Roger, the famous Iron Fist Lieutenant General, and the notorious 'Evil Ghost' of the Navy? Even as a humble handyman, I often hear about the name of Monkey D. Garp."
Then, in Garp's stunned expression, Loya shook his head and sighed: "A teacher chooses a disciple, and a disciple chooses a teacher. Lieutenant General Garp, please allow me to ask a disrespectful question: What do you know?"
"What do I know?" Garp thought in a daze, then suddenly laughed: "Hahaha! Are you worried that I can't teach you, Loya? Hahahaha! How is that possible! I know a lot! I'm proficient in all six forms of the Navy, armed Haki, and I've never been afraid of anyone..."
Garp smiled proudly, but he didn't know that Loya despised him even more and interrupted him directly: "Then I want to ask, what does Teacher Zefa know?"
"Of course he... um..."
Garp was stunned, as if he knew what Zefa would do.
But he was not so easily discouraged and retorted: "Even if he can, he's still weaker than me! When you look for a master, you need to find a stronger one!"
Loya continued to shake his head: "I need to clarify your remarks that Teacher Zefa is weaker than you. I want to correct you: the disciple chooses a teacher, or wants a teacher, with the purpose of becoming stronger. The strength of a master does not necessarily equate to their teaching ability."
"As you said, finding a teacher should be based on strength because a stronger teacher naturally has a way to become stronger... But have you ever thought about it? This is the way a teacher becomes stronger; can it really adapt to the disciple? Not necessarily."
After a pause, allowing Garp to think for a moment, Loya continued: "So, choosing a teacher can't simply rely on the judgment of strength or weakness, but rather on their teaching ability. Otherwise, why don't I just go to the recognized strongest man in the world, Whitebeard? So, the teacher I want doesn't need to be exceptionally strong; he just needs to help me grow stronger. In my opinion, the best teacher in the world is Teacher Zefa."
"In terms of strength, he is a former admiral, not much weaker than you. In terms of teaching, the current three admirals and the various lieutenant generals, such as Mole and Huoshaoshan, were all taught by him, and his teaching ability is beyond doubt. As mentioned above, I refuse to worship you as my teacher."
Garp felt Kuzan's pain from a month ago; this kid was too good at arguing!
Not a rival at all!
It seems the old man has lived in vain all these years! Not even a single disciple he can handle.
Aludo's mind traveled back to the day he first met Loya. This scene seemed familiar—it was all the same... I don't understand!
In the end, Loya delivered a fatal blow to Garp. He leaned close to Garp's ear and whispered, covering his mouth: "Also, Lieutenant General Garp, your only son is actually the leader of the Silencer army. Your teaching ability, please forgive me for not complimenting."
Puff~
Garp felt that something had broken and could never be repaired.
...
The farce of Garp's apprenticeship ended with Garp suffering the most serious trauma in history. The distraught Garp didn't even bother to ask how Loya knew the secret and chose to go home despondently.
Along the way, Garp could be heard muttering to himself.
"Why..."
"Why..."
In fact, Loya took advantage of Garp's carefree character and used an example that couldn't bear scrutiny.
If he could really worship Whitebeard as his teacher, Loya would have gone there already!
That is the strongest in the world! A monster who can knock Akainu to the ground in a dying state!
Who cares about Zefa with him guiding him?
However, fortunately, everyone in the Monkey family is like this. As long as it is not related to family members and companions, their IQ will plummet.
After sending Garp away, Loya could finally relax and enjoy his food. However, the surrounding navy's eyes had become quite unusual. If they had been looking at him as a naughty young junior before, now he was viewed as the kind of person who dealt with life and death.
Because what he had said made sense; they were left speechless!
Lieutenant General Garp had been fooled and left in disarray, unable to chat with Loya afterward.
After the meal, Loya didn't pay attention to Aldo. He was unlucky to choose to give himself a holiday today. Karp was not the only one who had been humbled by Loya; Aldo had too.
After their separation, Aldo chose to wander around alone, feeling unhappy. Loya lay on the ice wolf's wide back and went straight back to the dormitory to take a nap.
Cultivation requires relaxation, and when it is time to relax, one should relax fully.
