Chapter 180
"Ah ha ha, sorry for going off topic, that was all two years ago.
The reason why I didn't bring Ace to the headquarters was because I forgot that I could do that.
When your father handed you over to me, I wanted to take you with me.
That kid said he was used to living in Dadan's house, so I didn't bring him back."
Plop~!
Luffy almost knelt down in front of this old man.
"After talking about this and that for a long time, it turns out that it is because of your unreliability that things have become like this!"
Faced with Luffy's accusation, Garp smiled awkwardly.
"You can't say that. At that time, the government was conducting the most stringent searches for"373" and it would not be appropriate for me to suddenly bring a child back."
"Nonsense, then when you suddenly bring back a grandson that old next year, will you think it's appropriate?"
Luffy retorted without hesitation, and Kapnana couldn't find an excuse to refute.
With a helpless sigh, Luffy knocked on the table and asked the most important question.
"So far, all of this is your assumption.
Ace's dreams, aspirations, and ambitions for so many years.
It can't be solved with just a few words or by locking him up in the headquarters for a year or two.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if he refuses to obey or his identity is accidentally exposed?
By then, he will be unable to escape, and the best outcome would be to be imprisoned in Impel Down for life."
Garp's body trembled, and his straight back bent again.
Looking at Garp's now white hair and increasingly old face.
Luffy sighed, leaned over to him, and gently stroked his back.
"Grandpa, Ace has his own way to go.
And no matter what, I believe that as your grandson, he will never do evil things that harm others or kill ordinary people.
It is enough to guarantee this. There is no need to care whether he is a navy or a pirate, or other messy identities."
Feeling the care of his grandson, Garp also felt relieved and warm.
However.
After gently tapping Luffy on the forehead with his backhand, Garp stood up and said unhappily:
"Idiot kid, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Do I need your comfort?
If you're fine, get out of here. I'm going back to sleep."
Touching his forehead, Luffy stared at Garp, who turned his face away from him.
His anger immediately rose.
""Don't go too far, old man. I'm just trying to comfort you."
Garp snorted, turned around without even looking at him, walked back to his desk, took out a document and started writing.
After finishing, he picked up the document and shook it at Luffy, motioning him to come and get it.
Luffy resisted the urge to beat up this annoying old man in the office.
Luffy took the document with an unhappy look on his face.
Garp didn't wait for him to take a closer look and said it directly with a grin.
"Major General Luffy, defeating Drought Jack is a big news that is worth publicizing.
Therefore, I order you to cooperate with the Flame Photographer tomorrow to take 1,000 photos of various types for publicity."
""Hey, hey, hey! Old man, don't go too far!"
Luffy looked at the documents in his hand, his eyes red with anger.
Damn, taking 1,000 different photos, is this something a human would do?! (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Hearing how he addressed himself, Garp frowned and slapped the table in displeasure.
"Major General Luffy, I am talking to you about work. Please refer to your position when you are working!"
Hiss~ You stinky old man!
Luffy took a breath of cold air and his teeth were clenched...........
Okay, okay, this is how we play it, right? You wait.
"Report to the base commander, I am affiliated with the Marine Guerrilla Force and not under the jurisdiction of the Marine Headquarters G2 Branch."
Luffy gritted his teeth and replied, but Garp did not buy it.
"Didn't you hear the Marshal's previous order? You have to stay in the G2 branch for a period of time in the future.
As long as you are in the G2 branch, you are under my jurisdiction!"
Luffy slammed his hands on the table and retorted loudly:
"Don't even think about it. The guerrillas are directly under the jurisdiction of Marshal Zhan Guo.
Unless the marshal gives an order, I won't listen to you."
Kapu glared, stood up from his chair, and argued with him.
"This is my branch, and I am the vice admiral base commander!"
Luffy was so angry that he trembled all over, and finally gritted his teeth and said
"Old man, you will regret this."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, slamming the door.
Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Garp slowly sat back in his office chair.
He pulled the brim of his hat down to cover the helplessness in his eyes.
Luffy, all this I did was for the Navy.[]....Huh?
Garp, who was pretending to be deep just now, suddenly took off his military cap in confusion.
Looking at this ordinary hat in the navy, he scratched his head in confusion and said curiously:
"Where did this thing come from? Have I ever worn a hat today?"
