The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The Gate of Truth and Nika, containing a kaleidoscope of information, flooded into Luffy's mind. Compared to the flow of time in the outside world, it only took a moment.

"Luffy, you will come back to see me. I look forward to that day."

The world of the kaleidoscope shattered, Nika's last voice echoed in his mind, Luffy's consciousness gradually returned to his body, his tightly closed eyes made him feel like he was in a dark world, and the roar of the waves was shaking his head.

He choked and coughed violently, and warm liquid slid down his forehead, spreading a scarlet color across his vision.

The purple-black fist mark was embedded above the brow bone, with the skin and flesh rolled up to reveal the white bone streak. Every pulse beat brought excruciating pain.

He tried to stand up, but his knees were shaking and everything in his vision was spinning wildly.

What appeared in his eyes was hazy, and mixed with the tinnitus in his ears were the voices of different people, vaguely calling Luffy's name.

His brain seemed to be pouring out of his cracked skull. He clenched his teeth tightly, and blood foam with a rusty smell filled the air between his teeth.

"I can't... fall down..."

This thought burned deep into his consciousness like a red-hot iron. He saw his limbs trembling. He had never been injured so badly.

The severe pain made his vision black, but the worn straw hat suddenly pressed heavily on his head. It was the promise he made to Shanks, the expectation of his companions, and his oath to become the Pirate King.

Luffy straightened his spine suddenly, and even though his body was still shaking uncontrollably, his dilated pupils refocused.

He wiped away the blood that blocked his vision, revealing a pair of eyes burning with flames. The wound on his forehead was still bleeding. Every step he took felt like stepping on cotton, but his steps were extremely firm.

"I am going to be the Pirate King," he roared in a low voice, his voice as hoarse as an old bellows, "Ace, wait for me, I must save you"!

The fist mark on his forehead was beating, as if mocking his arrogance. Blood foam overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but his determined eyes were surprisingly bright.

He shook his head, letting the severe pain tear his nerves, and slowly raised his clenched fist, pointing in the direction of Grandpa Karp.

Even if his brain was shattered, even if his bones were broken, as long as his heart was still beating, he would always stand here and would never leave Marinford on his own initiative.

The blood on Garp's fist had not yet coagulated, and his face was full of sadness. He looked at his grandson who was knocked down by his own hands, and then stood up again with strength.

This damn stubbornness made Garp grit his teeth and clench his fists, "Luffy, you will die if you get hit by one more punch. If you die here, you will never be able to become the Pirate King."

Garp threw a difficult question to his grandson: if Luffy wants to insist on fulfilling his dream, he should leave the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible and give up the precious brotherhood.

If Luffy doesn't want to leave and put Ace before his dream of becoming the Pirate King, then with his strength, it is impossible for him to have the best of both worlds. He always has to give up one thing, his dream or Ace?

Luffy raised his shaking arm and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His bright and lively eyes under the straw hat were completely different from the eyes of a dying old man.

"Grandpa, you know I never do multiple-choice questions, I want them all"!

The smile on Luffy's face was extremely dazzling no matter who looked at it. It was a face that had not been smoothed out by reality and would never compromise.

Karp knew the answer clearly before asking, but he still held on to hope that his grandson would give up and not let his grandfather be caught between justice and family affection.

"Luffy, you are almost an adult. I will treat you as an adult. Everyone is responsible for their own choices. Don't blame me. I will explain to Dragon afterwards." The restrained domineering aura in Garp's body once again erupted violently in front of his grandson.

Walking on the path of justice, one always has to lose something. Garp's eyes revealed a sadness that was hard to conceal. He decided to throw a second punch to completely stop Luffy from having such unnecessary thoughts.

Garp, Dragon, and Luffy, these three generations are all pure people to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they are stubborn and will not change their ways when encountering problems.

It is precisely these personality traits that have prompted three generations to embark on different paths and shine on different paths.

Luffy did not resent his grandfather for being so ruthless. As a grandson, he respected his grandfather's dreams and pursuits very much. However, people with different ideals cannot work together. From today on, the grandfather and grandson are completely separated.

“I didn’t expect that the things the teacher gave me would have to be used in advance.”

Looking at his grandfather who was getting closer and closer with condensed domineering aura, Luffy's body suddenly lost balance and he half-knelt on the ground, his chest heaving violently, and the bloody straw hat tilted on his forehead.

He was breathing heavily, his vision a little blurred due to blood loss, but he was still staring straight ahead. His dry lips suddenly pulled up into a weak, bitter smile.

His trembling right hand struggled to reach into the torn trouser pocket. When his fingertips touched the cool and smooth porcelain surface, his dilated pupils suddenly lit up.

His fingertips stroked the delicate spiral patterns on the bottle. This small porcelain bottle, which he had held tightly in his arms during the fierce battle, was surprisingly intact.

The crisp sound of the cork opening pierced the silence, and an emerald-like bean rolled into the blood-stained palm, round and plump, exuding vitality.

"I hope the effect of the magic beans is as magical as the teacher said"!

He raised his head and swallowed it without hesitation. The beans melted in his mouth, turning into a cool and warm current that instantly swept through his limbs.

Garp didn't understand his grandson's intentions. He couldn't even keep his balance, so what was the point of eating beans?!

The next second, an astonishing change occurred in full view of everyone. Luffy's bulging veins gradually subsided, the edges of the wounds that were deep enough to see the bone began to glow faintly, and the flesh and blood began to wriggle and scab at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His cheeks, which were originally as pale as paper, were flushed again, his distracted eyes became sharp like an eagle, his clenched fists slowly loosened, and his knuckles were filled with the strength that had been gathered again.

Luffy had consumed most of his physical strength during the battle, but after eating the Senzu Beans, he could feel his physical strength being restored instantly, as if he had not just experienced a battle.

If Luffy were to use words to describe his current state, the best example he could think of was that he had just finished eating the meal made by Sanji, and even slept for an hour after the meal, which was the time when he had the most physical strength and energy.

Everyone else saw the changes in Luffy. They all stared at the porcelain bottle in the boy's hand, wondering what he had eaten and how it could have such incredible effects!

Garp was closest to his grandson and could feel that all this was not an illusion. By judging Luffy's breathing rate and muscle relaxation, he could be sure that his grandson's injuries had mostly healed.

Garp, who has lived for most of his life, has never heard of the term Senzu Beans. What is the origin of Luffy's teacher?
