After Goku had a big meal in the cafeteria, which shocked many of the Marines, Garp took him to Garp's house, where Goku would live for the next few days.

"You'll be living with me for the next period of time. You don't mind, do you, Wukong?"

Karp pushed his bedding to the left side of the bed, then took out a new, unused set of bedding and spread it on the right side.

Although he was a naval hero, he only lived in a single room, since he always lived alone.

As for why he didn't ask Sengoku to arrange a double room for him, he said that he had lived here for so many years and it was too much trouble to change rooms.

Moreover, his bed is very big, and Wukong is just a child, so there's no problem for the two of them to sleep together.

Besides, once Goku officially joins the Navy a year later, he'll be living in the Marine barracks, and then this double room will be useless.

Goku had no objection to where he lived; to him, living in the wild was no problem at all. So he obediently nodded: "Living with you? I have no objection, Grandpa Garp."

After tidying up the bedding, Karp lay down on the bed.

"Take a good nap, and I'll take you to cultivate after you wake up."

"Uh-huh!"

Wukong took off his shoes, lightly jumped onto the bed, and quickly lay down.

Looking at Garp, who had fallen asleep instantly beside him, he blinked, turned his head, stared at the slightly yellowed ceiling, and thought to himself:

Grandpa Roshi, Krillin, where have you been?

As he pondered, he felt drowsy, his eyelids closed quietly, and he soon fell asleep.

......

As the sun passed its highest point and began to descend, the sleep bubble on Garp's face suddenly burst, and he woke up.

After glancing at the clock on the wall, he turned his head and looked at Wukong, who was still fast asleep, and instantly delivered a loving punch to him.

Bang! !

"Why are you still sleeping! Wukong! Wake up right now!!!"

.......

A few seconds later, Goku, with a big bump on his head, put on his shoes and grumbled, "Grandpa Garp, you told me to wake up! Why did you hit me?"

Garp just laughed: "Hahahaha! This is my love for you, Goku! Next time you don't wake up, I'll still let you taste this loving fist!"

Wukong felt an itch in his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, his experience that morning had already taught him a profound truth: he really couldn't beat this old man.

The two quickly left the house and, led by Garp, headed towards an increasingly remote area.

Looking at the increasingly desolate surroundings, Goku couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Garp, where are we going?"

Garp simply replied, "You'll find out soon enough."

......

At this moment, many abandoned naval warships are moored beside an abandoned dock.

On these warships, which are covered in moss, the masts are either fallen or broken, and the flags that should be fluttering in the wind are tattered and torn, making them look desolate.

This place, which is rarely visited by anyone on ordinary days, has now welcomed two people.

"Where is this place, Grandpa Garp?"

Wukong looked around curiously and saw that not only were there many warships parked around, but also piles of all kinds of broken wood, which made him wonder.

"This is an abandoned dock, and the warships you see here are also abandoned," Garp casually explained.

"Then what are we doing here?"

Wukong grew increasingly puzzled.

Didn't you say you were going to cultivate? Why did you end up in a place like this?

Garp didn't answer, continuing on his way until he led Goku to several warships. He then stopped, pointed to a warship in the middle with a large dent in its prow, and said:

"See it?"

Wukong looked over, puzzled, and nodded blankly.

Garp then moved his finger, pointing to a warship on his right with its bow intact, and continued, "Your next task is to punch it. The time you can dent the bow of that ship like it will be the time you'll be able to master Armament Haki."

To cultivate Armament Haki, one must constantly train their body.

For Garp, his fists were the part that needed the most tempering, and punching the incredibly hard hull of a ship was the best way to temper his fists.

Back then, he earned his resounding reputation as Iron Fist Garp by punching the ship's hull here day after day, year after year.

Even today, he still comes here from time to time to practice his punches, in order to keep his fists in peak condition.

After hearing his words, Wukong looked left and right, then quickly went to the front of the intact warship and threw a punch at it.

Bang! !

Feeling the hard texture inside, he turned around, looked at Garp, and said, "Grandpa Garp, it's so hard."

Garp crossed his arms and grinned, saying, "Of course! How can you use it for training if it's not hard?"

Wukong nodded, then pointed to two huge, dented warships, each over ten meters tall, on the left, and asked:

"Grandpa Garp, did you fight all of these? You're amazing!"

Just as Garp was about to answer, he seemed to sense something and glanced back.

Then, looking at Wukong, he replied, "No, the one in the middle was one I fought, and the one on the left..."

He deliberately dragged out the sound, as if he was waiting for something.

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from behind, interrupting him: "I shot down the one on the left."

pat.

pat.

A sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Goku looked past Garp and curiously looked behind him, where he saw a very tall man in a white suit walking down the path they had previously taken.

"I didn't expect you to come here, Kuzan."

Garp said without turning his head.

Kuzan, one of the three admirals of the Navy, codenamed Aokiji, lazily walked up to Garp, yawned, and said in a languid manner:

"Well, as you get older, you always start to reminisce about things."

Kuzan looked at the warship he had left such a deep mark on, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

Back then, it was here that he truly met Garp, and together they pounded on the hull and honed their fists.

Those carefree days, without too many worries, have been over twenty years ago.

Garp scoffed, "Tch! You call that old? Then what am I?"

At this time, Kuzan was only in his forties, in the prime of his life, while he was already an old man in his seventies, yet he didn't say he was old.

"Oh dear, oh dear."

Kuzan shook his head, seemingly mocking himself, and said, "I can't compare to you, Grandpa. I wouldn't dare to dream that I'd be this energetic at your age."

Karp glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Goku, who had been very curious about Kuzan's sudden appearance, looked at Garp and asked after the two paused their conversation, "Grandpa Garp, who is he?"

Garp curled his lip, not wanting to introduce Kuzan's identity, and simply said, "Just a lazy, good-for-nothing guy. Ignore him, you focus on your training."

So Wukong could only suppress his curiosity, nod, and prepare to begin his cultivation journey.
