Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

"Roger's... son?!"

In Windmill Village, bandit Dadan was holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at Garp holding Ace in his arms and Louis beside him with a shocked expression.

"Dadan, please keep your voice down!"

Ignoring Garp's low complaints, Dadan was now driven crazy by Garp's tricks, grabbed him by the collar and said: "Hey, Garp, do you know what you are doing? This... this is a capital crime! "

"You, a bandit, can't tell me what you're guilty of."

Garp threw her arm away, then looked at Ace in his arms and whispered softly: "That bastard Roger is definitely guilty, but he is already dead. Is this little guy guilty just because he carries his blood? Dadan?"

After Dadan heard what Garp said, he looked at Ace, and then seemed to notice something. He suddenly opened the window and threw the cigarette butt out of his mouth.

Louis, who remained silent on the side, couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

On the way here, Louis also heard Garp introduce Dadan.

He was a good friend who grew up with him when he was a child. Later, Garp joined the navy, and Dadan was still hanging out in Windmill Village.

But he became a bandit for many reasons.

The subordinates gathered a group of younger brothers, but in fact, their group had never done anything bad.

Instead, they became bandits and turned the Windmill Village into their territory. Their idea was to protect the Windmill Village.

Within the Kingdom of Goa, there are still several groups of bandits in the true sense. Dadan and the others are called bandits when they do this, but they are actually the security group of Windmill Village.

On weekdays, he stays in the mountains and helps the villagers clean up wild animals and the like.

I don’t go down the mountain very often, I only go down occasionally to buy wine or other necessities.

The two parties have always maintained a certain tacit understanding and are very harmonious.

Louis nodded in agreement with what Garp said. No matter what, Dadan and the others were kind.

After struggling for a while, Dadan carefully took Ace and asked with some confusion: "By the way, why did you adopt Roger's son?"

"Accept it."

Garp first shook his head and answered, then his expression changed, with a bright smile on his face, he patted Dadan on the shoulder and said: "Ah hahaha, lucky to have you! Dadan!"

"What do you mean you're lucky to have me?"

"I'm going to put Ace here with you and let you take care of him!"

Good guy, Garp is not polite at all!

Hearing this, Dadan was completely stunned. After coming to his senses, he quickly refused: "What's wrong with you? This is a bandit's den here! Why did you put Ace here to raise him? What if he was killed? If people find out, not only me, but the whole village will be ruined!"

"No, don't worry. Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. Just raise him as an ordinary kid. When I have time, I will come to see you often."

But faced with Garp's solemn look, Dadan was just thinking about continuing to refuse.

Ace suddenly woke up, reached out and grabbed Dadan's collar, grinning.

That smile is really cute.

With just such a smile, Dadan's originally planned rejection words were all blocked in his throat.

"Hey, if I die, I will definitely be killed by you bastard!"

In the end, it just turned into a harmless complaint.

Garp also laughed after hearing this. He knew that Dadan's words already meant a promise.

However, when looking at Louis, Dadan asked Garp nervously: "Who is this?"

“Ah, don’t worry, I was dragged down by this bastard.

When he found Roger and blocked him on Badelilla Island, he finally reached some kind of agreement with that bastard Roger and tricked me... So, to a certain extent, this kid and I are accomplices. "Garp looked like 'I was cheated', patted Louis on the shoulder and said carelessly.

"Batelila Island..." Dadan was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "Are you the Lieutenant General Louis who captured the Pirate King?"

"It's me." Louis nodded and smiled.

"This is really... complicated enough. Unexpectedly, you captured Roger and helped Garp raise Roger's child."

In response to Dadan's sigh, Louis waved his hand and said that he was just a matchmaker.

When Garp saw that he was quitting, he quickly said: "Hey, Louis, don't think about getting rid of your responsibility!"

"How do I have any responsibility? Before you met Roger, I warned you not to be soft-hearted, but you still accepted it. What does it have to do with me?" Louis also hurriedly retorted.

However, this has no effect on a hob meat like Garp.

"I don't care, it's all about you. Without you, where would there be so many things? Ace's affairs will need your more care in the future!" Garp said in a rogue manner.

"I have nothing to do with Ace, we don't have any relationship, okay?"

"Then you can be his uncle!"

"You bastard, are you taking advantage of me? You treat him as his grandfather and I treat him as his uncle, so what do I mean to you?"

But when Louis finished speaking, Garp asked in surprise: "Nephew! Although you have always been the same age as me, I have always treated you as my nephew."

Louis? ? ?

He opened his mouth to say something, but found that what the bastard Garp said seemed to be right.

Even though he and Garp are neither older nor younger here, his seniority is there after all. He, Louis, treats Teacher Zefa as his elder, as does the Warring States General, Counselor He and the others, but unfortunately, Garp happens to be of their generation.

It seems... is this really the case?

At this moment, Louis reacted and said quickly: "Why did you get involved? I don't want to argue with you about this. I won't care about Ace's affairs..."

"I don't need you to take care of me. At least for today's sake, if something happens in the future, I hope you can help me."

"........."

Looking at Garp's serious face, Louis lowered his head and thought for a while, then stared into his eyes. After a long time, he sighed again:

"Why me..."

Garp then smiled and said, "Whether you admit it or not, Ace and you do have a certain relationship, not to mention..."

At this point, Garp's tone became a little sad, and he looked at Ace in Dadan's arms and said:

“What’s more, I can see that sooner or later you will reach the position of general, or even marshal.

And like I said before, Ace's only way out is the navy. If you become a general or even a marshal in the future, it will always be good for this little guy.

At least you won't do anything to him just because of his bloodline..."

Louis also looked at Ace, his mind uncertain. Suddenly, he asked again: "So, you support me becoming the marshal?"

"Who do you support if you don't support me? Is it that tough guy from Sakaski?"

"Where's Kuzan?"

"Kuzan...is not suitable to be a marshal. He is too kind."

Mercy...?

"Hey...what the hell is this? Anyway, I'll do my best." Louis sighed.

After a short pause, he continued:

"To be honest, although his bloodline is innocent, as Roger's son, he is born to be extraordinary. You should understand the meaning of this..."

"It's just troublesome."

"Yeah, it's a big trouble..."

After saying that, both of them laughed, making Dadan, who was coaxing the children, a little confused.

After laughing, Louis added: "However, it is indeed a very good seedling."

"Ah, after all, he is the son of Roger. Even though that bastard has done many evil things, Ace may have inherited his talent or something?" Garp said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ace and said hopefully: "If Ace can become the pillar of the navy in the future, like you and Kuzan, and become the admiral of the navy, then even if I die, I will rest in peace..."

This sudden sensation made Louis a little moved.

I don’t know how the grandfather and grandson managed to develop such a deep relationship with each other in just a few months.

After putting his thoughts away, Louis glared at Garp and said:

"You tricked me into coming to your hometown just because you wanted to get these promises from me. Now that you've said it, you can continue your vacation. I'm getting ready to go back to G-6. There are still a lot of things to do..."

"AUV, look at what you said. You've come here. Why don't you just sit in the village as a guest before leaving? To be honest, I haven't had a drink in a long time."

Garp grabbed Louis' arm and said with a smile, then gave Dadan some instructions, and the two of them went down the mountain to the village together.

Dadan, on the other hand, looked at the backs of the two people with a confused expression, and then looked at Ace in his arms.

Just leave it alone?

What about the deep love between grandfather and grandson that we promised?

Just turn around and pretend that Ace is gone, right?

And while Louis and Garp were relaxing in the windmill village, Mary Joa, who was far away on the Red Earth Continent, was not very stable...
