Capítulo 11: Chapter 10 - Garp!
[Chapter Size: 2530 Words.]
Monkey D. Luffy POV
Shell City, East Blue.
...
...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM
The explosion shook the entire place, window panes shattered with the impact of the blast, and terrified Marines ran, dropping their weapons from the wall.
Zoro didn't look much different from them.
"Whistle Quite an explosion, huh?" Luffy said, pleased.
"ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN, ARE YOU SURE???" Zoro yelled while trying to shield himself from the explosion.
Where the Marine gate used to be, now looked like hell on earth. There was no more wall, as it had been disintegrated by the impact, and the ground was dug a few meters deep, forming a small crater with purple flames burning on the earth at this moment.
"In my defense, I had no idea how this power worked! It was the first time using it!" Luffy had to come up with an excuse as he scratched his head. He really had no idea he was this powerful!
"This power may not be as powerful as Kizaru's, but I haven't even used its full potential yet!" He thought as he contemplated his potential and considered the future. He turned to a still dazed Zoro and said.
"Anyway, let's head to the base. The soldiers must be regrouping now. Morgan will show up soon." Luffy said as he walked in the opposite direction of the gate in chaos, which was now on fire. The soldiers on the wall, who were aiming at them, ended up fleeing in fear after witnessing this display of power.
With not much more to say, Zoro started following him closely.
"Who are you?!" The pair heard a voice as they approached the main building, and at that moment, the main door burst open with a hurried boom, revealing a giant man with an axe in place of his right hand, standing almost 3 meters tall, glaring at them in anger as he appeared before them.
"Ah! You must be Morgan, the captain of this base, right?" Luffy asked, not caring to introduce himself.
Several Marines were pointing their weapons at the pair behind him, but fear was evident in their eyes. They couldn't remain calm after seeing and feeling what Luffy had done, even if they thought it was due to some bomb he placed on the gate rather than the chaos flames generated in a matter of seconds by the palm of his hand; otherwise, they would be fleeing at this moment.
Luffy smiled at them.
"Yes, I am Morgan! Do you have any idea who you're attacking? No pirate attacks a Marine base and gets away with it!" He said as a threat.
"Hehe, I'd like to see that. I'm a pirate, and I do what I want," Luffy said as he walked towards Morgan without hesitation.
This only made Morgan even angrier at this young pirate. He then saw Luffy approaching the line of his attack, and as he walked, he raised his axe and swung it.
"THEN DIE!" He shouted and swung his axe with all his might.
Luffy, seeing this, had only one thought.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Defense, apply 30 times!]
CRACK
His axe connected with my body but stopped there, not going a millimeter further! It even created cracks in the weapon with the impact of Luffy's body.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" Morgan shouted, now truly scared.
"Is that all the great Captain Morgan can do? It's stronger than bullets, I admit, but it's still weaker than Lami's blade," Luffy smiled as he spoke.
"Shoot him! Kill them!" Morgan immediately yelled, trying to retreat from this monster.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Speed, apply 30 times!]
I disappeared from the spot, reappearing near Morgan's head.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Strength, apply 30 times!]
I still couldn't use two applications at the same time; I would have to further develop my fruit to achieve that. However, I could quickly switch between applications of multiplication.
Luffy didn't waste time and punched Morgan's head in that instant, without giving him a chance to react. I switched from speed to multiplied strength to see what would happen; I could defeat him with just my physical strength, but I wanted to test my limits.
BOOM
The impact of my punch created an explosive sound, causing Morgan's head to detach from his neck in an instant.
BOOOM Another impact followed, with the severed head exploding and flying into the Marine base.
The soldiers, seeing their captain lose his head like that, were shocked and immediately dropped their weapons in surrender, knowing they were in front of a monster.
Luffy calmly landed on the ground and looked at the impact created by his punch.
Whistle
He whistled, looking at the damage he had caused.
"Do any of you still want to fight?" He asked the men in front of him, who had already surrendered by dropping their weapons.
"No! We surrender!" one of them said.
"Great, we're pirates, and we don't care about the Marines. I'm going to plunder this base, as long as you don't interfere with it, we won't harm you," he told the man, who looked cautious but yielded to Luffy's relentless gaze, unable to fight back, knowing that Luffy could kill them on the spot.
"Great, show my companion here to the treasure room," he pointed to Zoro since Luffy decided that Zoro would be assigned to collect the treasure and his old weapon.
"I also want to go to the main Den Den Mushi, one that can connect directly to Marine Headquarters," I told them, and the man who spoke to Luffy had widened eyes at this.
"You want to talk to Marine Headquarters?" The man couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Yes, you can do that. Remember, you are now my hostages. HAHAHAHAHA!" He said with a sadistic smile, and the Marine in front of him began to sweat.
"Y-YES!" The poor man yielded.
"Zoro, get your swords and take all the money from the vault with you. In the meantime, I'll talk to my old man," I said.
"YOUR GRANDFATHER?" Zoro asked incredulously, but Luffy didn't bother to respond and followed the man who led me to Morgan's room.
"Here is the Den Den Mushi!" The man said, still sounding nervous.
"Call the headquarters, please," I said, and the man started dialing the special number hurriedly.
"Click Mushi Mushi. This is headquarters. What does Marine Base stationed in Shell City, Unit 153, need?" A demanding voice came from the snail.
"S-Sir, there's a pirate who wants to speak with you..." The poor man was afraid as he spoke hesitantly.
"What do you mean!?" The voice became serious, and the snail's expression changed, now that he heard this.
"Give me that, and thank you." Luffy smiled and said as he took the communicator connected to the snail.
"Hello, I'm the pirate Monkey D. Luffy!" I announced with an even bigger smile and spoke before the other end of the line could question me or recite the usual lines about how Luffy couldn't escape punishment and that he would pay for it, the usual lines.
"I wish to speak with my grandpa, Monkey D. Garp. He should be in Sengoku's office right now, if he's still at Marineford," Luffy said calmly.
The room fell silent, both the Marine next to Luffy and the one on the other end of the line. They choked when they heard this.
Who was Sengoku? The highest level of the Marines. But here was a nameless pirate from the East Blue, asking to be transferred to the highest level of the Marines' room!
And even more importantly, who was Garp? The hero of the Marines, the strongest man in the Marines' ranks, a symbol of the highest prestige in the organization. Not even the three admirals could compare in strength and reputation. But here was a rookie pirate saying he was his grandson, and how could people take that lightly?
"I-Is this..." Even the voice became nervous now. While the man who had accompanied Luffy to this room was about to faint.
"Tell him I took this base and its personnel hostage; he'll understand," Luffy said, still smiling. His expression didn't match his actions, as Luffy was taking over a whole Marine base, not strolling in the park to smile so easily.
"All right!" The voice said nervously and seemed to put the Den Den Mushi on hold.
A little while later, the snail's expression changed, and a much older voice boomed from the other end.
"LUFFY!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU BECAME A PIRATE????!!!!" His grandfather's voice was seething with anger.
"HAHAHAHA. Hello, Grandpa! It's been 6 months since I last saw you; I miss you so much!" Luffy laughed and spoke sincerely. He was influenced by the original Luffy, so he felt a genuine connection to this man as a grandfather.
In the original, even though he loved this guy, Luffy didn't want to see his grandpa because of his 'fist of love,' but this new Luffy was different; he genuinely wanted to see the man.
"Buahahahahaha. My grandson misses me!! But your voice sounds different, have you grown in these..." He laughed happily and did a 180-degree turnaround when he heard that his rebellious grandson missed him.
"GARP!!" Sengoku shouted angrily at Garp beside him to get him to focus on the call.
"OH, YEAH! Luffy, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU KIDNAPPED A MARINE BASE?!" He expressed his anger again.
"HEHEHE, I wanted to talk to you again, Grandpa, I have some things to tell you," he said. But a voice interrupted me.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MORGAN?!" Sengoku asked hurriedly as he grabbed the communicator next to Garp.
"Well, I killed him," I said, and the room fell silent at that moment.
"You did what!?" Garp shouted in the background.
"Grandpa, I don't want to offend you or your precious Marines, but a commander who abuses his people to the point of hurting his subordinates and the city's citizens, claiming to do so for the sake of Marine justice, is the kind of person I hate most in this world. Even pirates have more dignity than this type of person because pirates do evil without hiding behind a noble cause," Luffy said and continued.
"And he tried to kill me, called me a demon, a monster, but if a person is ready to kill, then they must be ready to die," he said without mincing words.
"I can understand that..." My grandfather spoke, knowing that his grandson wouldn't lie, and he felt no deception at all, as his Haki would hardly be wrong, even through a Den Den Mushi.
"GARP! YOUR GRANDSON KILLED A BASE COMMANDER, RIGHT OR WRONG, AND HE TARNISHED THE NAME OF THE MARINES!" Sengoku yelled in anger, and Garp, who had concurred with his grandson on the phone, scratched his nose beside Sengoku.
"LUFFY, STAY THERE, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" Garp shouted indignantly.
"HAHAHAHA. Grandpa, I have more corrupt Marines to catch in this sea, so I won't be here for long," Luffy laughed in amusement at his grandfather's request; this guy was really funny.
"Grandpa, I want to tell you something else. There's a boy arriving at this base; he's weak and cowardly, but he has potential. He's determined to reach the level of an admiral. I would say he would be the best pupil you could get since I and Ace are pirates!" Luffy said with a smile.
"CURSE THEM, I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU GUYS CHOOSE THIS LIFESTYLE!!" Garp shouted in anger but quickly softened his voice.
"Tell me, is this boy here now?" Garp asked, curious. His rebellious grandson's words had piqued his interest.
"Yes, Grandpa. He's going to enlist as a Marine; it's a good change. I would take him as a crewmate, but he's determined to fight pirates!" I said.
"That's interesting!" My grandfather said with a smile.
"Yes, I want you to train him with everything, as I know you and Sengoku are almost retired!" I said with a smile, especially when the snail expressed anger that was nothing compared to before, while the Marine in the room with me fainted from those words. Luffy didn't care about that and continued.
"So the Marines need new potentials, only you guys aren't any fun when I dominate the New World. I hope for some challenge, you know?" I said arrogantly, while my grandfather and the fleet admiral were left speechless by my remarks.
"LUFFY, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" My grandpa shouted indignantly.
"Great, grandpa, I would love to see you again!" He said, with a smile, while the expression of the Den Den Mushi seemed genuinely happy at this moment.
"BUAHAHAHAHA! My grandson wants to see me!" Garp laughed happily.
"GARP!" Sengoku shouted again in anger.
"Oh yes, Luffy! Wait for me, and I'll capture you using my 'fist of love'!" He said.
"Grandpa, speaking of which, I learned to use the 'fist of love'! I saw a girl I liked a while back and used those fists on her to show my love, but she flew too far!" Luffy complained.
"Buahahahahaha. So you used the 'fist of love' the right way!"
While the grandfather-grandson duo chatted, Sengoku and the Marine who had fainted before and had now woken up were speechless with this conversation.
"How do you win over a woman by punching her?!" They exclaimed.
"Hm?" The same listeners were speechless at the next action of the grandfather-grandson on each of the lines.
Sengoku saw Garp fall asleep in front of him, while the Marine from Naval Base 153 was speechless when he saw Luffy and the Den Den Mushi fall asleep in the middle of the call.
"GARP!"
"Hm? What a strange dream, I dreamt that my grandson missed me..." he murmured, but when he saw the communication equipment in front of him, some veins appeared on his forehead.
"LUFFY!!!!! HOW CAN YOU SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL!!"
"Hmmm? Grandpa!"
"STAY IN THE EAST BLUE, GRANDPA IS COMING TO ARREST YOU!" Garp shouted.
"Okay, you can come, but bring some of those cookies. I want to try them to see why you only eat those. I plan to try them after I kick your butt, of course!" Luffy said with a smile, but before Garp could respond, Luffy hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Click
With that, Luffy left the room, satisfied, while the Marine who had been with him before was unconscious after hearing the entire conversation again.
