I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

Thank goodness he's Luffy; if it were anyone else, they'd just call out, "Master Garp!"

.......

Garp, who was hammering nails, suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Luffy, "By the way, Luffy, I heard you met your father."

Luffy has never seen a dragon's face since he became aware of things.

"Huh? Dad?"

Who is my father?

"I still have a father?"

If Bai Yun were sober, one could only say that he has it, but not entirely; it's almost as if he doesn't have it at all.

Garp picked his nose again. "What? So he didn't show up after all."

"He said he saw you off in Loguetown."

"I should be meeting Bai Yun soon."

"He said that Bai Yun is a bold guy, and he feels more at ease with him by your side."

This left everyone in Rogge Town confused at the time.

"Roggetown..."

Zoro muttered to himself.

"Luffy's father was there too, and he even met with Hakuyun?"

This is what Sanji said.

Even though he had never really known his father, Luffy showed no emotional reaction when his grandfather brought it up.

Who is my father?

"Bai Yun knows him?"

"I'm also very curious about Luffy's father."

Nami said that she found Luffy...very amazing, and couldn't help but be curious about his father.

Garp continued hammering nails while picking his nose, casually uttering the dragon's name.

"Your father's name is Monkey D. Dragon, and he was a revolutionary."

Upon hearing this, everyone inside and outside the house seemed to explode, letting out a thunderous "Eh!!!"

However, if we're talking about expressions of fear, it's mostly the navy personnel who show it.

There were basically no people inside.

Coby and the other navy men were both frightened and astonished: "Revolutionary Dragon... Dragon has a son?!"

"Luffy is Dragon's son?!"

"So... Dragon is Vice Admiral Garp's son?!"

"What's wrong with this family?!"

Compared to everyone else, Luffy was stunned. "This is the first time I've ever heard this name."

"Hey everyone, what's wrong?"

"Idiot, you don't even know the name of a dragon!"

"Your father is a very important person!!"

Sanji and Nami replied.

Luffy listened to their reply as if they hadn't answered at all.

So, if you have any questions, just ask Bai Yun.

"White Luck..."

Unable to answer, Bai Yun asked, "Robin."

Only then did Robin realize what it meant to have a fully stacked buff. After organizing what she knew, she replied.

"Pirates generally do not attack navy or government ships on their own initiative."

"But the Revolutionary Army is different; they are enemies of the Navy and the World Government."

"The leader of the revolutionary army is [Dragon]."

"His ideas are now spreading in many countries, have led to rebellions in many countries, and have overthrown several countries."

"The World Government has always been furious about Dragon's actions and has always treated him as a top criminal, calling him the most dangerous criminal in the world."

"His background has always been a mystery; no one knows even the slightest bit about him."

"Now, however..."

Robin thought to herself, "Garp just casually mentioned something so... dangerous."

After hearing Robin's words, Garp scratched the back of his head in response.

"It seems I shouldn't have said it."

"Pfft, hahaha, well then, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Everyone was shocked again; how casual!

Chapter 549 An Instant Kill as Expected

At the door of the house, the grandfather and grandson met, and after leaving behind a surprising message, Garp was about to leave.

"That Bai Yun is such a heartless fellow. He's still sleeping even though I'm about to leave."

"Listen up, Luffy, you are my grandsons, so I can't capture you on this island."

"I've already come up with an excuse, so you can stay here without worry."

Garp said "blatantly".

His adjutant, Bogart, quipped, "That's hardly an excuse! Let's just say they got away!"

What excuse did Bogart give? It was obviously an excuse to fool Sengoku. Besides Sengoku, who else did Garp need to explain himself to?

But Sengoku wasn't stupid either. If Garp got serious, how could Luffy and the others possibly escape?

But even if they knew, what could the Warring States period do? They could only trust their old friend's words.

"Okay, you can go and talk to Bogart."

Karp replied.

"........"

Bogart remained silent. Being Garp's second-in-command was truly exhausting. He didn't have to worry about the combat aspect, but he was mentally drained.

"Hahaha, alright, besides, I only came here with these two. You two can chat slowly."

"I'm leaving!"

Luffy's expression remained calm.

"OK Bye Bye."

Karp immediately threw a punch, yelling, "You're so heartless!!"

"Couldn't you have asked me to stay a little longer! You idiot!! It's been so long since I've seen Grandpa!!"

"So what do you want me to do? Either way, I'm going to get beaten up!!"

"I want my grandson's respect! Even if it's just a fake one like that Bai Yun kid's!"

Bai Yun: Hey! Hey! How can you say that? I'm being sincere... (I hope you leave quickly so I can come back when I need a replica)

.......

Garp left, and although the news he brought was quite shocking, everyone just listened and moved on. Life goes on, and Luffy, as captain, still has to stay.

Franky went back to build ships, as did Usopp, who is still unable to face Luffy.

Sanji, Zoro, Chopper, and Robin are having afternoon tea in the house.

There were only the four of them in the room, oh, and Bai Yun, who was now just a physical body, and of course, Xiao Bai in Bai Yun's arms. Unfortunately, this time it wasn't a battle of consciousness, so Xiao Bai couldn't help.

Outside the house, Luffy, Coby, and Helmeppo were catching up on a pile of rubble, but Luffy basically ignored Helmeppo.

Behind the house was a swimming pool, and their conversation was being eavesdropped on by Nami using a black Den Den Mushi (snail for eavesdropping, white for preventing eavesdropping).

From Coby, Nami learned that the Navy could cross the Calm Belt and freely travel to and from the four seas and the Grand Line, although success was not guaranteed.

The reason they can do this is because the bottom of the warships is inlaid with Seastone. To the Sea Kings, the warships are just like... a wave, and they don't pay any attention to them.

The person who invented this method was Dr. Vegapunk.

Not only Seastone, but Dr. Vegapunk also developed a new technology that allows objects to eat Devil Fruits.

Nami listened and took notes, not forgetting to praise, "Truly worthy of being a scientist in the Navy."

There are countless wise and capable people in the world.

"Now I realize how small my world was before, Luffy. That day... if you hadn't jumped out of the barrel!"

"Right now, I'd probably still be working as a janitor on Alvida's ship!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy laughed, laughing so hard he clutched his stomach.

"Ahahaha, right! Right! You were on Alvida's ship."

"That's hilarious! Especially your reasons for being there."

The ensuing conversation was just a friendly chat and playful banter. Nami gave a "relieved" smile, stopped eavesdropping, and went swimming in the pool.

.......

In ten minutes, Coby and Bellmare will also be leaving.

"Ah—I really have to go!"

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk about it."

Luffy really likes Coby, the first friend he met on his voyage. As for Helmeppo... well...
