The unhappy gaze faded, Tulip leaned over and pinched Luffy's face, "Let's go with Grandpa."

"Oh." Luffy nodded, "Okay then."

Following his grandfather and mother, Luffy looked back. After Shanks said a few words to his fellow pirates, he said something to Maginot, then held down the straw hat on his head and followed the road.

Come flying in their footsteps.

Luffy walked backwards, laughing and waving at Shanks.

Shanks was stunned for a moment, as if he had just come to his senses, and grinned at Luffy.

Luffy was a little confused, what happened to Shanks?

…………………………

Shanks followed Garp, Tulip and Luffy all the way, but remained silent and didn't ask any questions.

But Luffy couldn't help it any longer. He grabbed a branch and while walking and playing, he asked curiously: "Who are we going to meet? Where are we going? This road seems to be not far from where my mother and I live.

Woolen cloth!"

Children are full of energy, especially when this child's name is Luffy.

Luffy asked questions for a while, played for a while, and occasionally left the team to go into the woods. After a while, he caught a few beetles and came back, holding them up to show off to his mother proudly. Unfortunately, Tulip couldn't get any of his pride, caring and caring.

Keep smiling.

The three of them are all experienced masters. No matter how much Luffy runs around, there is no need to worry about him missing.

Garp said: "I fostered him in the home of a group of bandits. You will know when he arrives."

"Bandits?" Luffy wandered back again. Hearing this, he stuck out his tongue and said disgustedly, "I hate bandits the most."

He looked up at Shanks, as if trying to find some resonance, but found that Shanks looked even more stunned, staring at the front of their path. Soon, a hut in the mountains was in sight.

A question mark popped up on Luffy's head. Shanks seems to have been wrong for a long time. What happened?

"Dong dong dong!"

Garp walked to the mountain hut and knocked on the door rudely, "Dadan, come out quickly!"

Not long after, the wooden door opened, and three strange-looking guys came out of the room. Among them was a rustic, ugly but majestic female bandit. She was holding a cigarette in her mouth. As soon as she opened the door, it was like muscle memory, and she said with a troubled face:

"Mr. Garp, please spare me. Ace is already ten years old. We can't deal with him anymore. Please take him away! - Hey, why are so many people here?!"

Bandit Dadan finished speaking smoothly, and then he noticed that in addition to the majestic Garp standing at the door, there was a tall blonde beauty on the left and a red-haired young man wearing a straw hat on the right.

At Garp's feet, there was even a little guy slightly smaller than Ace.

Ace... Tulip heard the name mentioned by the female bandit, and thought that this must be the person Garp brought them to meet who could be friends with Luffy.

Ten years old... Shanks' eyes narrowed, he quickly calculated the time in his mind, and was stunned. Suddenly he turned his head and looked in one direction of the woods.

Garp didn't take Dadan's words seriously and laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't help me raise Ace, then you can go to jail! If I let you go, it's a lot of crimes."

Luffy was circling around the mountain hut, wondering whether he was comparing this house with the house he and his mother built to see which one was more powerful... Suddenly, a ball of liquid splashed into his face.

"Ah! It's saliva! It's so dirty!"

Luffy touched his face and was furious. When he looked up, he saw a dead wild boar that had been dragged nearby at some point. Sitting on the wild boar's carcass was a young man with black hair and freckles holding a broken water pipe.

The young man's eyes were gloomy, looking at Luffy with indifference and disdain. It was obvious that he had spitted out just now.

"It's you! You cursed me again! This time you cursed on my face!" Luffy knew him, this guy was still hanging around their house before.

However, Luffy took a deep breath, raised his arms and smiled: "Forget it, I'm not angry, let's make friends! My name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy! What about you?"

Unfortunately, the freckled boy sitting on the boar carcass did not pay attention to his interest. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at Garp and the others, his gloomy eyes turning around as Tulip and Shanks stretched out their hands.

"This boy is..." Shanks had been looking at him for a long time.

"Oh, Ace."

Garp said hello to Ace.

"It's you, boy." Tulip was also observing Ace, but Ace still had a gloomy face, sitting on the wild boar carcass, and had no interest in talking to strangers.

Garp said unexpectedly: "Tulip, have you seen him?"

Tulip said: "Is there a reason why you've been wandering around our house these days?"

"..." Garp was startled when he heard this, then sighed, looked at Ace on the wild boar corpse, and said calmly, "His mother worked very hard to give birth to him, and she died because of it in the end. So Ace has always been very happy."

Thanks to his mother...I think he sees the shadow of his mother in you, right?"

"That's it." Tulip is a mother after all, and she was touched in her heart.

"Smelly old man, who allowed you to tell anyone about me casually?" Ace said on the wild boar carcass, "Especially my mother who is so kind to me..."

"What about your father?"

Shanks pressed his straw hat, took a step forward, smiled at Ace, "Are you being mean to you?"

Ace glared at Shanks coldly, jumped down from the wild boar carcass, walked up to Shanks, and suddenly swung a broken water pipe at Shanks.

boom!

Shanks' head was smashed by a water pipe and blood flowed out.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Luffy was very angry and rushed up to beat this kid.

Ace, the master of water pipes, reached back and swept the water pipe across, pulling Luffy away. He looked back at Shanks coldly, swung the water pipe again, and was caught by Shanks.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce."

Garp picked his nostrils and said casually, "This boy's name is Portcas D. Ace, and he is Roger's son."

"Smelly old man..." Ace said bitterly, "I told you not to mention that bastard!"

Shanks grabbed the bloody broken water pipe and looked at Ace with a look of hatred on his face. For a long time, he showed a complicated smile and said: "Ace, right? My name is Shanks...
