One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 54: Garp's Little Plan
Between the lightning and flint.

Xia Nuo had already vaguely realized that the punch was not aimed at his head, but above his shoulder.

however.

The muscle instincts developed through hard training and his absolute confidence in his own strong body made him not hesitate at all, and he attacked fiercely with his fist in an instant!
boom!
Where the fists collided, the air instantly rippled, making a sharp explosion, and the two were almost simultaneously blown back by the shock wave.

However, Karp only took five or six steps back before stopping steadily.

Xia Nuo plowed two long marks on the ground and slid for more than ten meters before he could stand firmly.

"Ok?"

Garp looked up in surprise, pushed aside his dog-head hat, and couldn't help but look up and down at the black-haired boy in front of him.

"Good boy! You're so young, yet you possess such power! Hey! A fellow like you could have made a name for himself in the Grand Line, so why are you still stuck in the East China Sea?"

The punch he just threw was just a scare and he didn't use much strength.

But it is definitely not something that an ordinary person can take on.

What's more, the opponent not only took it head-on, but also pushed him back several steps.

"Because I'm from the East China Sea!" Xia Nuo rolled his eyes. "I'm only fourteen. I don't have much time to spend with my family. Why would I go to the Grand Line so early?"

"Fourteen?!"

Luffy next to him opened his mouth wide. He always thought that Uncle Shano... no, brother, was at least thirty!
"grandfather!"

The kid stood up dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing! Brother Xia Nuo is my friend, not a bad guy, how can you just do that to him!"

"This old man is actually your grandfather?" Xia Nuo was surprised, "Then why did he stop me from saving you?"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Of course I'm training this little brat's survival skills!"

Garp breathed heavily, punched Luffy into the ground, and turned to stare at Shanuo. "I didn't expect that I would meet a good seedling like you just by following that little guy Huoshaoshan's ship and returning home for a vacation..."

"Hey, kid! My name is Garp. You should have heard of my name. Do you want to join the navy with me? You have such strength at the age of fourteen. If you train hard for a few years, maybe you can become a rear admiral before you reach the age of eighteen!"

"Garp?"

Shanuo was stunned and horrified. "That legendary navy hero Garp?! The Garp who saved an entire island from the Celestial Dragons?!"

"Hahaha, it's that old..." Garp just grinned and laughed when he heard the second half of the sentence.

The smile suddenly froze on his face.

Back then, he was sent to the Valley of the Gods by Steel Air Conditioning for support. He thought the Celestial Dragons were really on a school trip, and he ran there excitedly for the chance to catch Roger.

After a tough battle, we finally found out what the hell those fat pigs with bubbles on their faces were doing!
Although the battle with the Rocks Pirates made him famous as a naval hero, it also became a shadow buried deep in his heart.

Also since then.

He refused to be promoted to general throughout his life, so that at least he would not have to accept direct orders from the Celestial Dragons and become a slave unable to move freely.

Karp was silent for a long time, staring at Shanuo's face, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.

"You little brat..." the old man said in a complicated tone, "You seem to know a lot of things. Could it be that... you are a survivor from that island?"

"No, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to mock you. I still respect you, Mr. Garp." Shanuo shook his head slightly and said seriously, "It's just that now you probably know the answer to my previous question, right? People like me can't stand the constraints of rules and regulations. Let me join the navy? The thought of not being able to refuse the orders of the Celestial Dragons really makes me itch all over and feel uncomfortable."

"Can……"

Karp subconsciously wanted to argue, but the scenes from more than 20 years ago flashed through his mind. He sighed and was speechless for a moment.

"That's right! Being a navy is so boring!"

Luffy struggled to poke his head out of the dirt pit, his face wrinkled in the mud. "Brother Shanuo, please help me persuade my grandfather. He's been clamoring to train me into the strongest marine since he came back a few days ago. I've already told you that I want to be the Pirate King!"

"Still calling him Pirate King! Look at what that red-haired brat has done!"

Garp was furious and smashed his iron fist on Luffy's head. "I can't control this kid, but I can't control you? You are my grandson! If you dare to become a pirate, I will beat you to death!"

Boom!
"It hurts!!!"

Luffy covered the three large bumps on his head and yelled, "I'm the user of the Gum-Gum Fruit, why did your fist hurt me?"

Of course it’s because of domineering.

Shanuo noticed that when Garp threw the punch, the tip of his fist was covered with a layer of light black air, but it disappeared in a flash. The strength was just right. It was obvious that his control over the armed color had reached the pinnacle.

——He was really envious.

"Want to learn?"

Garp seemed to notice his gaze and smiled.

"If you could really join the navy and become my disciple, I would definitely teach you step by step, but... well, forget it, let's not talk about it."

The old man picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I've been itching to fight since I returned to the East China Sea. Luffy, that brat, can't take a beating. How about fighting with me for a few moves? If you can satisfy my craving, I won't mind you killing the rat."

"How did you know...wait, so you've known me for a long time?"

Xia Nuo suddenly realized that something was wrong. Damn it, this stinky old man, it turns out that I wasn’t the only one acting from the beginning!

"Nonsense! I'm on my way back from vacation, lying on the deck reading the newspaper every day, and it's hard not to see your face!"

Capuchin chuckled.

"As for that scumbag Mouse, I also went to the 16th branch with Huoshaoshan. The Marines there, from top to bottom, all insisted that it was Buggy who did it. I felt something was wrong, and since I had nothing else to do, I did a little private investigation."

"It was with this face and fame that I reluctantly persuaded those marines to open up to me. They quietly told me that just two days before the incident, Rat led them to your hometown to threaten you and even tried to embezzle the bounty from the murlocs."

"I've heard the news, isn't it obvious? I'm not an idiot!"

Garp snorted, wiping the booger he had picked off on Luffy's hair, who looked confused. "It's likely that the rat was retaliated by you, and then you transferred the blame to Buggy."

"Have you told this information to Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan?" Xia Nuo grinned without any intention of denying it.

"What's there to say? If he's capable, go get the information himself and see if those Marines, who've been bullied by rats for a year, tell him the truth. Tsk, let that scum die. It's a disgrace to the Navy. I actually wanted to praise you."

Garp also grinned and laughed. "Besides, you did it very cleanly, and there is really no evidence. Why should I arrest you? Besides, I'm here on vacation and I don't care about anything else!"

He suddenly bumped his fists, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Alright, Shanuo boy, stop talking nonsense. Are you willing to fight a few moves with me?"

Thanks to Bu Rudao and Yi Guguai for the 500 coins reward. The second update will be around 5 pm.
