"So..."

A few minutes later, after listening to Nuo Xia's explanation of why she came, Tina blinked and looked surprised:

"Brother Nuo Xia, why are you here specifically for Mr. Karp's grandson?"

"yes."

Nuo Xia kept looking at the streets on both sides and responded casually, "The old man is worried about his grandson, and he is too busy to get away. And I happen to be in the East China Sea..."

He shrugged, "I have no choice but to do it for you."

At this time, they had entered the village, and many children passing by cast curious glances at these marines, who were rarely seen in daily life.

"It's really strange. Since Mr. Garp wants his grandson to become a navy, he is also afraid that he will become a pirate..."

Smoker behind him was smoking a cigar, puzzled, "Then why not just keep him in the headquarters and train him carefully?"

"I heard from Grandma Zhizi that that kid seems to be extremely naughty."

Tina left Nuo Xia's arms and returned to her iceberg beauty appearance in front of her subordinates. She said calmly: "Probably because she is afraid that he will use his status to cause trouble all day long in the headquarters and follow the bad example of other second-generation ancestors and ruin it.

Malinfando must be making a fuss."

She was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked at Nuo Xia next to her, "Brother Nuo Xia, I didn't mean Nami..."

"fine."

Nuo Xia's eyes twitched, "That child is indeed causing trouble, and he is getting older. I will definitely discipline him well when I return to my headquarters."

"What you mentioned may be one of the reasons."

He pondered for a moment, "But really speaking, it probably has something to do with the child's life experience...or his father."

"Father?"

Tina and Smoker were both stunned. Smoker scratched his head and said blankly:

"No way? Isn't his father the son of Mr. Karp? What can I ask...eh?"

He suddenly realized something - no, Mr. Karp's son should also be in the navy, right?

Why have I never heard of it despite being in the headquarters for so long?

Tina also held her chin and fell into deep thought. This problem had troubled him for a long time. When she first came to the headquarters with Zhizi nine years ago, out of curiosity, she also asked Zhizi in private, but the latter kept it secret.

He just smiled and rubbed her head and said that children should not ask too many questions.

"It's a big problem."

Nuo Xia said leisurely, "That guy is called Monkey D. Long."

"Monkey D. Dragon?"

Before Smoker could react, he wondered, "Mr. Karp's son must be named Monkey. Mr. Bailong, is there anything wrong with this name..."

etc!

dragon?

His eyes widened suddenly, and the cigar he secretly picked up at the entrance of the village fell to the ground with a clatter.

Is it that dragon?

The full name was originally Monkey·D·Long???

The man regarded as the biggest threat by the World Government is actually Mr. Garp’s son?!

He stood there dumbfounded with his mouth open, and Tina also covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.

They both lost their composure, not to mention the sailors who followed behind them. After being frozen and petrified for two seconds, they all screamed in surprise.

"Eh, eh eh eh???"

"So you understand why Mr. Karp shamelessly asks for leave several times a year and comes back several times from thousands of miles away, and is unwilling to bring him to the headquarters."

Nuo Xia chuckled and said:

"After all, Malinfando is full of people and his father is doing important things outside. If his identity is known to the higher-ups, there is no guarantee that he won't be kidnapped by some secret means and used as a hostage."

"Ah, right."

Seeing that the group was still dumbfounded, Nuo Xia plucked his ears and said nonchalantly, "You should just swallow this and forget about it. Don't spread it outside, or just pretend that I didn't say it and you didn't hear it."

You said it so lightly. It took me half a day to digest this... such heavy news. Can you pretend you didn't hear it?

Smoker smiled bitterly, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately nodded solemnly to Nuo Xia.

Windmill Village is not big.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group followed Nuo Xia to the northernmost part of the village, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary two-story building with a garden.

"Is this Mr. Karp's home?"

Tina curiously walked around the garden, recalling her childhood days on Gul Island in the West Sea, where she grew up with Grandma Zhizi who resigned and lived in seclusion.

Unfortunately, most of the flowers and plants in this garden are wilted and overgrown with weeds. Apparently no one has taken care of them for a long time.

"Is anyone there?"

She knocked on the door and waited quietly for a long time, but without waiting for a response, she turned to look at Nuo Xia inquiringly.

"Let's talk after we go in."

Nuo Xia didn't want to say anything more and directly opened the door and entered the house.

"Eh? Eh? Brother Nuo Xia, isn't this bad..."

Tina was stunned for a moment, but saw that Nuo Xia was already wandering around the living room with her hands behind her back. She sighed and had no choice but to wave her hand and follow Smoker and the others in.

What's wrong with that.

Sensing the scruples of the sailors behind him, Nuo Xia curled his lips.

Garp drinks and eats with his father every day in the headquarters. Every day after get off work, he opens the door ten times and sees this old man eight times. He almost treats it as his own home.

Then Karp's home is his home, and there's nothing wrong with it.

"It's okay. It seems that everyone in the village takes good care of this boy."

He wandered around the living room and kitchen. There were piles of various ingredients on the table and in the refrigerator. It looked like they were sent by kind villagers.

There's even a big pot of fragrant beef stew with potatoes.

"The milk has not expired. This childhood treatment is already higher than that of another child of destiny. I don't know where it is."

He sighed twice, and Smoker behind him said hesitantly: "Sir, it seems that Luffy is not at home, so we can't wait here all the time. How about I ask everyone to spread out and search together, Windmill Village

It’s so big, I’ll definitely be able to help you ask for it soon.”

The sailors at the back suddenly brightened their eyes, nodded hurriedly, and looked at Nuo Xia expectantly.

——Being able to work for Mr. Bailong is an honor that many sailors dream of. By the time they get to Rogge Town, this will be enough for them to brag to their colleagues for at least three years.

"No need to bother."

Nuo Xia smiled and said, "The sun is almost setting. Since he's not home yet... then I probably know where this kid has gone."

The moment he spoke, the powerful sight spread instantly, covering the entire island.

As expected.

After a rough sweep, Nuo Xia quickly found the scent deep in the uninhabited forest in the north.

"Let's go."

He picked up the milk in the refrigerator, raised his head and drank it all. Under the stunned eyes of the sailors, he slammed the refrigerator door and said with a smile.

"Dinner has already been ordered. It's the best time to meet this brat."

…

To the south of Windmill Village are plain fields, with gurgling rivers passing by, abundant water sources, and a variety of wheat and tulips.

To the north, there is a large area of ​​undeveloped virgin forest. There are many dangerous beasts living in the mountain forest. Villagers generally do not enter the forest to disturb them, and they basically do not come down the mountain to harass the villagers.

We have been living in peace and harmony for many years.

only……

In recent years, this peaceful peace seems to have a tendency to be unilaterally broken.

"It hurts, it hurts... Oooh, it really hurts!!"

Under a towering pine tree, Luffy, who looked like a little furry monkey, was covering the smoking swelling on his head, screaming in pain.

He had just turned seven years old at this time, and he looked cute and lovable. He was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt that Garp bought for him. It had a red navy anchor pattern on the chest, and a line of large black letters printed below -

"anchor".

In front of him, two giant apes that looked like hills were squatting there. One of them clenched his fists and was angry, while the other also looked unkind and pointed in the direction of Windmill Village in the distance.

"Why are you driving me away now! The three-day survival training will officially end when the sun sets tomorrow! I have to stay in this forest all day, so I don't want to leave! The worst I can do is not go to your house to get it

Banana is ready!”
