Chapter 171
He hurriedly took Jack's slowly burning Vivre Card and wanted to report it to a higher-level cadre.
But he didn't expect that when he was halfway there, Jack's Vivre Card was burned out.
This immediately frightened the minion so much that his face turned pale, and he quickly reported the situation to his boss.
After learning about the incident, his boss was also horrified and reported the news to one of the three big bosses, King, the Flame Disaster.
Even King was extremely surprised when he received the news. He then quickly reported it to Kaido.
"Huh Jack, how did you die?
I just asked you to make a deal with Doflamingo. If you die now, what should I do?"
King, who came to report, and Queen, who heard the news, looked at Kaido who started crying because he was drunk, and felt helpless.
"Lord Kaido, now is not the time to cry.
We still have to avenge Jack." Queen, who has two golden whiskers on his mouth and a golden ponytail on the back of his head, is more than 6 meters tall, but his body is bloated like a ball. He tried to wake up Kaido.
But when Kaido heard his words, he just paused, squinted his eyes and leaned over to look at him, then continued to drink while crying and laughing.
Queen slapped his forehead helplessly,"No, Boss Kaido is really drunk.
It will be difficult for him to sober up in a short time."
Beside him, he was wearing a black spiked mask and a black double-breasted leather jacket, wrapping the whole person tightly.
Only a pair of black wings were exposed behind him, and there was a flame burning behind his head.
King folded his hands on his chest, glanced at him calmly, and said unexpectedly
"I didn't realize that you actually care about Jack. you should investigate the cause of his death."
"Shut up, you cold-blooded bastard! Jack is my little brother who I watched grow up.
He was one of the All Stars like us. Of course I am sad that he died!"
Queen pretended to wipe away his tears, as if he had a really good relationship with Jack.
However, he just thought that King asked him to investigate the cause of Jack's death.
Not to mention that he was on the same level as King, what right did the other party have to order him.
Even if it was the order of Boss Kaido, he would firmly refuse.
Are you kidding? Jack is already dead.
How can a dead person be as important as his precious research?
Since Boss Kaido was still drunk, the two major cadres had no intention of taking the initiative to take the lead and avenge Jack.
Queen, who had just come to see the situation, immediately lost interest, said bye to King and planned to leave
"Well, I still have experiments to do.
King, Jack's matter, when Boss Kaido woke up, you can tell him yourself"
"Idiot." King said these two words calmly and turned to leave.
Just as they were about to leave, Kaido, who was still drinking, suddenly stopped.
He roared and angrily smashed the wine gourd against the wall, smashing it to pieces.
The two top officials stopped at the same time and turned around in surprise.
Kaido's eyes were red, full of cruelty and murderous intent.
"Go find Doflamingo! If he can't give me a satisfactory explanation for Jack's death.
King, you go kill him!!!"
After a slight silence, King nodded calmly and took on the task.
Queen was startled by Kaido's sudden anger, and he breathed a sigh of relief after he calmed down after he finished speaking.
But before he could finish his breath, Kaido suddenly howled like a ghost.
""Wuwuwu~Jack, you idiot, trash, waste, how can you die!
You must be lying to me, right? Come out now!!"
After saying the last sentence, Kaido's body suddenly changed dramatically.
Queen was shocked and had a bad guess.
"Hey, Lord Kaido, calm down.
King, come here....Eh? King?"
He was just about to pull King to persuade Kaido, but when he turned around, King had already slipped away without a word. He looked at King, who was only a back figure left, and then looked at Kaido, who was winding up and about to break through the cave.
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.
"Hey, scum King, wait for me!"
After he went out, Kaido, who had completely transformed into a blue dragon, smashed the top of Onigashima's iconic skull with his head.
Staggering in the sky, under the admiring and awe-inspiring gazes of all the members of the Beasts Pirates,...Started a drunken madness
""Jack! Where are you?! Stop hiding, come out here!!!"
As he roared, wind blades spurted out of his mouth, attacking everything around him indiscriminately.
The Beasts Pirates, who had originally admired Kaido, suddenly showed fear and quickly turned around and fled.
"Run! The Governor is drunk again!!"
Chapter 172
The death of Jack the Drought instantly touched the nerves of the two major forces, the Marine and the Four Emperors Kaido.
While one of them was busy searching for clues and the other was preparing to prevent the other's revenge.
Luffy, the instigator of all this, was... not happy.
After dealing with Jack, he had just changed into new clothes and had not had time to eat or rest.
Kibin informed him that Grandpa Garp would be back soon.
Then he was pulled to the port by Ain, Hina, Nami and other girls to meet their future grandfather in law.
"Damn it, I wanted the old man to come and greet me.
Why is it that now it's my turn and I'm the one to greet him?
I just cleaned up his mess and helped him defeat the enemy and save the G2 branch.
If this stinky old man doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation,
I'll go and report him to the Fleet Admiral and accuse him of deserting his post!"
Luffy, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Kibin in front of the crowd, had been muttering non-stop since he arrived at the port.
On one side was his superior Garp, and on the other side was Luffy, who had just defeated Jack and saved the entire G2 branch.
Kibin naturally didn't dare to say a word about this, and even quietly kept a distance from Luffy, for fear that he would hear something he shouldn't hear.
The other women didn't care about this. Nami and Ain sandwiched Luffy on the left and right and pinched his waist hard.
Hina was even more dissatisfied and told him to stop talking nonsense and stand still.
Even Hancock didn't stand on Luffy's side this time.
Ever since Garp forcefully beat Doflamingo away in front of her last time and let her vent her anger.
Her favorability towards Garp has increased rapidly.
The other women also respect Garp very much.
In addition, Garp never puts on airs in front of them, so the relationship between the two sides is quite good.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, all of you are his granddaughters, I am the only one who was picked up~'."
Luffy sighed helplessly and raised his hands in surrender.
He really didn't understand why his family status had dropped so low now.
In the hearts of the girls, his importance was not as high as that of Garp.
While they were bickering, a conspicuous dog-headed warship came into their sight.
When the warship docked and they saw the familiar white-haired figure,
Luffy just raised his foot to greet him, but the girls were faster than him and surrounded Garp in the middle.
Soon, Luffy heard Garp's hearty laughter.
After pouting and expressing his strong contempt for these flatterers, Luffy took a step and slowly greeted them.
"Hey, Grandpa, you are too shameless...."
Before he finished his complaint, Garp threw two small wooden boxes at him.
Luffy was stunned, but he subconsciously caught one with his hands.
Surrounded by several women, Garp came up to him with a dark face and snorted
"Brat, don't think I didn't hear your complaints. Do you really think I'm old and my observation Haki is useless?!
Since you helped me so much, I'll give these two things to you.
I warn you not to give them away randomly, these are gifts from me to my granddaughters-in-law!"
The girls, led by Ain, didn't care what Garp gave them, and immediately thanked him happily.
"What is this?"
Luffy muttered subconsciously, then looked at the size of the box and the weight in his hand.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bold guess.
He looked up in surprise and wanted to ask Garp a few more questions.
But when he looked up, he found that Garp was gone.
Looking back, the old man was happily walking into the base under the care and greetings of the girls.
It seemed that his grandson had never existed.
"Rear Admiral Luffy, let's follow him."
Kibin, who was embarrassed and embarrassed to approach Luffy, found Luffy.
At the same time, he looked at the two small boxes in his hands with curiosity and a hint of inquiry.
Luffy curled his lips and said,"Hmph, for the sake of these two things, I'll let you go this time."
Muttering to himself, he hurriedly took Kibin to catch up.
But the position next to Garp had long been occupied by Ain, Kujaku and others.
His grandson didn't even have the chance to step forward and say a word.
It was at this time that Caesar Kibin found an opportunity and stepped forward to report some tricky intelligence that had occurred in the G2 branch during Garp's absence. He also emphasized the matter of Jack's invasion.
Garp also praised Caesar, his old subordinate.
Luffy, who didn't want to listen to Garp's nonsense, looked around for a while and saw Bogart standing in the corner. His eyes suddenly lit up and he went over to him.
"Uncle Bogart, long time no see."
Chapter 173
"It's been a long time, little Luffy."
Bogart smiled. If the other members of the G2 branch saw it, they would definitely doubt whether they were blind.
In fact, Bogart and Luffy are very familiar with each other. After all, he is Garp's adjutant and is always by his side.
Basically, apart from Garp and Luffy's classmates, he is the person who spends the most time with Luffy.
And Luffy has always had a lot of little thoughts about this mysterious person who has never been seen in Canon.
"Uncle Bogart, it must be very hard to follow Grandpa.
Would you like to consider changing your work environment and come to my guerrillas to experience a new life?"
Bogart's mouth corners slightly raised, but refused
" Forget about me. If you need someone, I can ask Kibin for you. He is quite capable....Although there are some minor shortcomings"
"Really? Then tell me about him."
Luffy asked curiously.
Then, Bogart told Luffy about his evaluation of Kibin.
Although Kibin's psychological quality is not up to standard, and he always makes a fuss and loses his composure when encountering things.
But that is all due to the premise of insecurity.
As long as he has a strong thigh to hug, he can feel at ease.
This guy is the best deputy, manager, and commander of the branch.
Even though Garp and Bogart are usually in the G2 branch.
Most of the affairs of the G2 branch are handled by Kibin.
Luffy:
In other words, this guy is a coward. He doesn't dare to do anything without the protection of the big daddy?
But as long as the big daddy is there, he is the best assistant in the branch.
Yeah...Forget it, let's leave such talents to the old man.
He shook his head and refused. Bogart just shrugged and said nothing more.
In fact, in his opinion, Luffy's subordinates are full of talents and there is no need to poach more people.
Moreover, this place is the branch of Vice Admiral Garp after all.
As his adjutant, Bogart can't really let him poach talents. (Chuckles)
Quietly wait for Kibin to hand over all official duties.
He watched with his own eyes that the old man handed over the official duties to Bogart, and then Bogart handed it over to Caesar.
Luffy was speechless.
After everything was explained, Garp began to drive people away.
"Grandpa, this is Olivia, a scientist on my ship, a former member of the Marine Research Institute."
At the dinner table, Luffy introduced Garp to a new member he had never met before.
After Olivia heard him introduce her, she quickly stood up and greeted Garp.
"Scientists are good, but knowledge is also indispensable."
Garp said seriously, and took out a big red envelope from somewhere and stuffed it into Olivia's pocket.
Because Ain, Nami and the others had also received red envelopes before.
So Olivia didn't hesitate to take it.
Seeing this, Luffy introduced him to the next person.
"This is Koala, she is a fish-man karate master, a new member I recruited in the Water 7"
"Oh, you actually learned Fishman Karate? What an amazing girl."
Garp praised with a little surprise.
Koala immediately laughed happily, and said carelessly that her level was average, not as good as Luffy said.
Then she happily received a big red envelope from Garp.
She didn't realize at this time that this red envelope was from Garp to his granddaughter-in-law.
After receiving this red envelope, in Garp's eyes, she was his own.
Finally, Luffy looked at Kalifa, thought about it, and called her to his side.
"This is Kalifa, she was originally a member of CP9.
However, she was betrayed and attacked by her superiors while on a mission, and was wanted by the government.
Finally, I asked Grandpa Sengoku to help her remove the wanted order, and then she joined the guerrillas as my personal assistant."
Kalifa was a little nervous and didn't dare to look up and look at Garp.
Looking at the blonde girl, Garp did frown at first.
But he soon noticed Kalifa's uneasiness and believed in Luffy's judgment.
So he took out a red envelope and stuffed it into her hand, and said comfortingly:
"It doesn't matter. you should have quit that shitty organization long ago.
Now follow Luffy and start a new life.
I believe this boy will take good care of you, right Luffy."
Please, I haven't taken her into the harem yet, grandpa, don't talk nonsense!
Luffy yelled in his heart, but in front of Garp, he could only reluctantly respond.
"...Yes."
Chapter 174
His tone was only slightly hesitant.
Garp's sharp eyes instantly looked over and he shouted loudly,"
"Haven't you eaten yet?! Speak louder!"
I really haven't eaten yet.
Luffy wanted to say this, but seeing Garp's dangerous eyes, he immediately responded loudly:
"Yes, I will take good care of Kalifa!"
Garp was still not satisfied and continued:
"Not just Kalifa, you have to take good care of all my granddaughters-in-law, understand?!"
"Yes!"
Luffy answered decisively this time, and Garp nodded with satisfaction after hearing it.
Kalifa, Hina, Hancock, and Kujaku also knew that Garp was criticizing Luffy for them. They were immediately moved and delighted, and quickly stood up to pick up food and pour drinks for Garp, making the old man's face bloom with joy.
Looking at this warm scene, Luffy couldn't help but smile.
He turned his head and looked at Kalifa, who was holding the red envelope with her head down and silent.
His heart softened, and he tentatively reached out and held her soft hand.
"Sit down and eat, Miss Secretary."
His words made Kalifa's heart tremble, and she looked up at Luffy in disbelief.
But Luffy just smiled gently and nodded at her.
For a moment, Kalifa was in a very complicated mood, not knowing what to say.
She originally just wanted to win Luffy's trust and get rid of the entanglement of two perverts.
But how did things suddenly turn out like this. She was inexplicably brought to attend Vice Admiral Garp's family dinner, and was recognized and comforted by the other party.
And now Luffy held her hand and told her that she was promoted to secretary and became one of the closest people around him.
Should she accept the kindness of the grandfather and grandson?
Or should she accept Luffy as... Her other half.
This question didn't bother Kalifa for too long before she got the answer.
Why not accept it? I was originally rescued by his people.
He also helped me eliminate the wanted list, so that I don't have to live a life of hiding for the rest of my life.
In addition, he is handsome and strong. He is a Rear Admiral at a young age and has a bright future.
I have just obtained the recognition and protection of his grandfather, Vice Admiral Garp.
Except that he is a little fickle, this is the perfect other half no matter how you look at it.
As the original CP, Kalifa was decisive and figured it out quickly.
She also dared to love and hate, and immediately held Luffy's hand with her other hand, and said seriously:
"Sit down, I'll feed you."
Luffy:???
He looked at Kalifa who was confused and pushed back to her seat, while Luffy passively accepted the feeding.
Garp's mouth twitched, and he also reacted.
Well, you little brat, after all this time you haven't even confirmed your relationship, and you still need me to help you, right? You've had a few more beauties in just a few months, and I don't know how little Ain and Hancock fell in love with you.
What a lucky boy.
This thought just flashed through Garp's mind.
After refilling Garp's drink, Nami looked back and saw that her position was taken by Kalifa, and she immediately exploded. She decisively returned to defense and started to confront Kalifa.
Kalifa didn't tolerate her, and began to make personal attacks on Nami.
She was devalued from top to bottom.
Nami was so angry that she waved her little fist on the spot to fight with her, but was defeated by Kalifa with one hand.
Looking at Luffy who was having a headache and trying to persuade them to stop fighting, a drop of cold sweat flowed down Garp's forehead.
Sure enough, having too many women is not a good thing.
This kid will have a hard time in the future.
But looking at Ain and Kujaku who were picking up food for him on his left and right, and looking at Hancock who had been chatting with him.
Garp smiled happily again.
Having so many women is not a good thing, but having so many granddaughters-in-law is different.
I don't know which of them can give birth to a child first so that I can hold my great-grandson.
If there is a great-grandson, I will retire immediately and go home to take care of the child!
A happy family dinner ended with Garp smiling and Luffy screaming, two completely different and complicated emotions.
Fortunately, Luffy is used to this kind of scene.
And although the women quarreled, they were very sensible and could make up quickly afterwards.
After eating, he wiped his mouth hastily
Luffy couldn't wait to take out the two small boxes that Garp had given him.
Under Garp's proud gaze and the girls' confused, curious and expectant eyes, Luffy slowly opened them.
In an instant, the box seemed to have a golden light effect, which dazzled the girls' eyes.
Especially Nami, after seeing the contents of the box clearly, her eyes quickly turned into the pattern of Berries.
"Devil Fruit! Two of them!"
Nami called out the names of the two things in the box.
That's right, in each of the two boxes, there was a strange-looking fruit with mysterious patterns lying quietly.
Chapter 175
One of them was a pink devil fruit that looked like a butt and looked very unruly. Luffy felt familiar and felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
The other one was a strange fruit that was emerald green and square and looked like a shield.
Luffy had no impression of it even after searching his mind.
Although he had guessed it long ago, Luffy couldn't help but feel excited when he saw these two little cuties. He turned to Garp and asked:
"Grandpa, where did you get these two fruits?
You don't need to hand them in to the headquarters, right?"
Garp folded his arms proudly and snorted.
"Humph, I found this in the East Blue myself, what does it have to do with the headquarters?"
As he said this, he became interested in and began to share with everyone how he found these two fruits.
The pink one was found on a tree when Garp led his team to rest on an unknown island in the East Blue. The other emerald green one was found by him when he went to Loguetown to find Smoker. He accidentally found it in the gang's lair while clearing out a gang.
"By the way, I have already found out the names and abilities of these two fruits.
Look for them, they are in the box."
In fact, by this time, Luffy had roughly guessed which fruit they were by recalling the original work.
But since Garp had already investigated it, he was still ready to take a look, in case his guess was wrong and something unexpected happened.
He took out the peach-colored devil fruit and slapped away Nami's eager hand.
Luffy quickly found a small note in the box.
"The Slip-Slip Fruit is a Paramecia. After eating it, the user will become a smooth person.
The skin all over the body becomes extremely smooth, and all objects that touch the skin will slide away.
The weakness is that it is not immune to impacts such as explosions."
Luffy read in a low voice while comparing the note.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Olivia, Koala, and Nami raised their hands.
"I want this!!!"
Kalifa was too embarrassed to speak out because she had just confirmed her relationship with Luffy.
But when she saw the little girl Koala shamelessly raising her hand, she quickly raised her hand as well, "And me!"
Hina, Ain, and Kujaku, who were already Devil Fruit users, could only watch with envy.
"Ah, a fruit that can make the skin smooth, Hina wants it so much!!!"
Touching the flawless, smooth and tender face that seemed perfect to outsiders,
Hina was still greedy and said
"Humph, appearance is innate.
No matter how smooth your skin is, it can never compare to my peerless beauty."
Hancock said disdainfully.
Her words were full of confidence in her own beauty, and she didn't care about this shitty Slip-Slip Fruit at all.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, let me take a look at the next one."
To appease the restless girls, Luffy put the fruit back into the box, closed it and gave it to Ain for temporary safekeeping.
Then, Luffy looked at the introduction of another fruit.
"The Barrier-Barrier Fruit is a Paramecia.
It can create a hard barrier of absolute defense that cannot be destroyed by any means.
And it can be used to attack.
The disadvantage is that the total area of the barrier released at the same time is limited."
Compared to the Slip-Slip Fruit, this fruit that sounds like it doesn't have many highlights is not so popular.
However, after careful consideration, Olivia still withdrew from the competition for the Slip-Slip Fruit with difficulty and chose this fruit that sounds very life-saving.......
"Boss, I want this one."
Seeing that she was the only one raising her hand, Luffy looked around and asked:
"Does anyone else want this fruit? If no one raises their hand, I will give it to Olivia."
Everyone shook their heads and withdrew from the competition.
Since no one wanted to grab it, Luffy handed the fruit directly to Olivia.
Nami looked at her with envy. She didn't want this kind of ability.
She just felt sad to see 100 million Berries leaving her.
However, it didn't matter, as long as the fruit was given to her.
Just as she was thinking that, Luffy stopped Olivia who wanted to eat the fruit directly.
They decided to eat it together after the other fruit was distributed.
"Well, this fruit....Who wants it?"
Looking at the strange fruit in Luffy's hand that looked a bit like a butt and a bit like a brain,
Nami and Kalifa raised their hands instantly.
But to their surprise, Koala actually gave up this time.
Seeing everyone's eyes, Koala scratched her head embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue
"Haha, that, I just remembered that I learned Fishman Karate, and water fighting is what I am best at."
Everyone was stunned.
You are so brave to say that. You were so active just now. I thought you were going to change your fighting style.
Nami also complained about the cute Koala in her heart.
Then she realized that she only had one opponent. As long as she defeated her, she could become the user of the Slip-Slip Fruit and have super smooth skin!
