Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece
Chapter 18 Crane's Miscalculation
In the Marshal's office, Sengoku returned to his seat and tossed a document to Garp.
"See for yourself, this is the result of the investigation."
Karp pressed the newly grown bump on his head back down, picked up the documents on the table, and looked at them with a serious expression.
Two seconds later, he tossed the file back onto the table, frowning, and said, "Nothing at all?"
"Yes, there's nothing there."
Sengoku picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Garp with his deep gaze.
"At first, we only visited nearby islands, but we didn't get any useful information."
"Later, the search area was expanded to cover the entire sea area, but no suspicious persons were found."
Garp's brows were furrowed.
On the day he met Goku and agreed to help Goku find his family, he had already instructed the Navy to help search on the nearby islands.
But at that time it was just a routine search; the navy wouldn't search every corner of the island in such detail.
Upon returning to Marine Headquarters, after Sengoku officially issued the order, the Navy became serious and meticulously searched all the islands near the island where Goku appeared, as well as those that could be reached within a day.
The result was that no elderly people carrying tortoise shells or children with shaved heads were found.
When asked, local residents all said they had never seen anyone with these characteristics on the island.
This is where the problem arises.
Wukong said that he woke up one morning to find himself suddenly on that strange island.
So even if his family used some method to drug him and wanted to put him on another island, they could only do so for one night.
The islands their navy was searching covered a day's voyage, far exceeding the normal range. Logically, they should have been able to find the island where Wukong used to live.
However, no results were found.
There was no island that matched the one where Wukong had lived before.
Could it be that Wukong was thrown over here in some other way?
For example, flying?
Even spatial movement.
Sengoku had considered this, so he ordered the navy to expand the search area from the nearby waters to the entire sea area.
Even so, the result remained unchanged.
The two people Wukong mentioned seemed to be non-existent in this world; not even a trace of them could be found.
unless--
This was a complete lie; these two people never existed.
Garp saw the suspicion in Sengoku's eyes and instantly understood what his old friend was thinking.
He shook his head without hesitation and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I can assure you, Wukong isn't the kind of kid who lies."
"Yes, I think Garp is right about that. That kid is very simple-minded, like a blank sheet of paper. He wouldn't lie about something like this."
He, who had been waiting in the office for a while, nodded slightly.
"Since you've said that, then I'm just being paranoid."
Upon hearing such a guarantee from Tsuru, who was always known as the brains of the navy, Sengoku immediately dispelled his doubts.
"Judging from the current situation, Wukong must have been thrown here from another sea. I can only think of one person on the sea with this kind of ability."
Garp met Sengoku's gaze, his eyes narrowing: "You mean Bartholomew Kuma?"
"Um."
Sengoku nodded slightly, but then said, "But it wasn't him. I asked Vegapunk, and he's been staying in Egherd for rehabilitation recently."
Garp's brow relaxed, then quickly furrowed again.
"I also feel it couldn't have been that guy. How did that little Goku even end up on that island?"
The three remained silent, each lost in thought.
The current situation is that they can't find the two people Wukong mentioned, nor can they find the place where Wukong once lived, and they have no idea what Wukong's identity or origin is.
After a while, the crane broke the silence.
"There are always abilities we don't know about on the high seas, and we don't fully understand the abilities of Devil Fruits, so it's difficult for us to see the truth right now."
"As long as we know that the little guy has now been accepted into our navy, we have a way to train him into a qualified and outstanding navy officer."
"As for his background and what changes might occur in the future, I think that by then, the little guy we've raised will be able to handle it well."
Upon hearing this, Garp's brows relaxed, and he slapped his thigh, laughing loudly, "Hahahaha! You're absolutely right! Since his family went to such lengths to abandon Goku, then we'll leave them be. We should even thank them for sending such a promising talent like Goku to our Navy."
"When Wukong grows up, if they find him again, I believe he will definitely not side with them!"
After laughing, he stood up, intending to leave.
But before he could take a step, he withdrew his foot, scratched his head, and looked at the crane: "Hey, how am I supposed to tell Wukong about this now? He's been asking me every day if I've found it yet."
Tsuru took a sip of tea and smiled, "Didn't the little guy say that his Master Roshi was going to take him to the World Martial Arts Tournament? It's probably a fictional competition. After all, we've heard of any competitions that dare to use such a name before."
"However, we can make use of this competition."
"Tell him that although we haven't found his family, we've learned that the World Martial Arts Tournament isn't being held anytime soon, but in five years."
"During this time, he will train diligently in the Navy and return to the martial arts tournament five years later to find his family. Of course, we will tell him the truth after five years, and I think he will understand everything by then."
Crane's intention was for Goku to stay in the Navy for the next five years and receive proper training from them.
After five years of growth and a more mature mind, Wukong might not need them to explain that he had been abandoned by his family.
By then, Goku, who had spent five years in the Navy, must have developed a deep affection for the place.
After realizing that he has been abandoned by his family, he will feel even more grateful and attached to the navy that nurtured him.
However, she miscalculated one thing: she didn't know that the bond between Goku, Master Roshi, and Krillin had grown to an unimaginable degree.
Upon learning that Master Roshi and Krillin had not been found, Goku, who had been training at Marine Headquarters for half a month, said to Garp without hesitation:
"Grandpa Garp, I want to leave here. I want to find them myself!"
