Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

After handing over the bounty to Goku and Smoker and completing their mission, Smoker left them with the words, "The Grand Line is a dangerous place. Be careful."

He then left with Tashigi and the pirates without looking back.

Watching him walk away, Wukong blinked and said, "He's a good person. Oh right, I still don't know his name."

The two met for a very short time and were busy talking, so he forgot to ask the other person's name.

Seeing this, Nami approached a roadside vendor and asked, "Hey, do you know the name of the Marine we were talking to just now?"

The boss looked at her with some curiosity, wondering why these two people would send the powerful Colonel Smoker to meet them in person.

"Of course I know, he's the highest-ranking officer at this naval base, Captain Smoker!"

"Colonel Smoker, thank you for letting me know."

Nami seemed to be deep in thought, then left and went to Goku's side, telling him her name.

"Smoker? Oh, that's his name. I'll remember it."

Wukong nodded and secretly memorized the name.

After all, the other party was Garp's "friend" and a good person who even brought them what they needed, so he should remember him.

After this experience, the two lost interest in continuing to stroll around and decided to go back first to put away their money and purchases.

Then check if Sanji has returned; if he has, then it's lunchtime.

On the way, Nami carried her own large bag of clothes, because Goku needed to carry the heavier money box.

"Hey, Goku, that Vice Admiral Garp you guys were talking about earlier, isn't he the same Marine hero?"

Nami suddenly remembered the name she had heard before. When she heard it, she was shocked and wanted to ask what it was, but when she heard Smoker say that he was going to arrest them, her attention was immediately diverted.

"Oh, I think I've heard someone say that."

Wukong answered casually.

!!!

Nami stopped abruptly, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Is it really that legendary naval hero?! Goku, you know him?!"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Wukong tilted his head in confusion.

"What's your relationship with him?! Are you close?!"

"What's our relationship? Hmm... I don't really know how to explain it. I'm quite close to Grandpa Garp. We ate and lived together for a while, and he helped me a lot. I'm very grateful to him."

"Oh right, he's always wanted me to join the Navy, but I wanted to find Master Roshi and Krillin first, so I didn't agree."

Nami was completely dumbfounded.

She recalled what Smoker had said earlier, and then took out the authorization letter and stared at it for a long time.

Then he exclaimed, "No wonder the Navy would issue us this authorization letter, and why Colonel Rat would confess."

"All of this must be related to your Grandpa Garp."

Normally, unless they actively apply for it, the Navy wouldn't come running over to hand them authorization letters. Do they think the Navy is the subordinate of pirate hunters? Or is the Navy just bored and has nothing better to do?

She had never imagined that Colonel Rat would confess.

After all, Colonel Rat was the highest-ranking officer in that branch base, and he was fully capable of suppressing the whole truth. And it was impossible for the other party to suddenly repent and confess to the crimes.

What's the difference between that and the sun rising in the west?

So now it seems that the reason they are alright and why Colonel Rat confessed is entirely because a heavyweight like Garp intervened.

Otherwise, Smoker's earlier statement about catching them might not have been a joke.

"Honestly! Wukong, why didn't you tell me about this relationship sooner!"

Nami wrinkled her nose and said with slight dissatisfaction.

If she had known earlier that Goku and Garp were so familiar with each other, she could have used that as an excuse to bully Colonel Rat.

Moreover, during this time she no longer had to worry about whether they would be wanted and arrested by the Navy.

"You didn't ask me."

Wukong looked completely innocent.

"Hmph! Fine, considering we made quite a bit of money this time, I'll forgive you!"

Nami gave a feigned snort, and her paused steps began to move again.

"Let's go! Let's go back and see if Sanji has returned."

......

At the naval branch base, Smoker was talking to someone using a Den Den Mushi.

"Lieutenant General Garp, the authorization letter has been given to them, and the bounty money has also been paid to them."

"How tall is he now? Well... about a meter tall, I didn't observe carefully."

"Do you look thinner than in the photos? Uh... I don't think so, you do look a bit stronger than in the photos."

"By the way, he has an extra tail on his body compared to the photo. I wonder if Vice Admiral Garp is aware of this."

"What?! A tail?!"

The Den Den Mushi in his hand vividly simulates a surprised expression.

After feeling the vibration in his eardrum, Smoker silently moved the Den Den Mushi away a little before speaking, "Yes, it has a brown tail now. It seems you didn't know about it either."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, then Garp's voice came through: "I've never heard of him not having a tail before."

"Alright, I understand. That's all for now. Thank you for making this trip."

"It's nothing. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still go see that kid."

pat.

The phone hangs up.

Smoker, a cigar dangling from his lips, leaned against the table, his chin resting on his hand, lost in thought.

When did Vice Admiral Garp become such a talkative old man who likes to focus on trivial things like height and weight?

Is it because I'm getting old?

What he didn't know was that it wasn't Garp who wanted to ask these questions, but someone else.

Otherwise, someone as carefree as Garp would never care about such things.

At most, he would only say something like: Is he dead? Oh, he's not dead, that's good.

......

Meanwhile, at the base where Colonel Rat was stationed, after telling Gion via Den Den Mushi that Goku had grown taller and stronger, Garp hung up the phone and, like Garp, rested his chin on his hand, fell into deep thought.

Brown tail?

Could it be that Wukong is a member of the Mink Tribe?

But he doesn't have any very noticeable body hair.

Surely it's not an intermarriage between humans and furry people?

......

On the Dream Chaser, when Goku and Nami returned to the ship, Sanji, who had just bought a lot of ingredients, also returned to the ship with the ingredients.

So, under Goku's expectant gaze, Sanji quickly prepared a feast using these fresh ingredients, allowing Goku to enjoy a delicious meal and exclaim that it was so satisfying.

Following that, Sanji went out again to continue purchasing ingredients.

He didn't end his shopping trip until he had filled the warehouse and refrigerator to the brim.

Meanwhile, Nami also estimated the time and went to the clothing store to retrieve Goku's two new outfits.

After confirming that all preparations were complete, they piloted the Dream Chaser away from Loguetown and headed towards the last place on the Grand Line.

As they officially set off, at the dock in Windmill Village, Luffy covered his straw hat, jumped into a small boat, and raised his arm to shout:

"Ace! Wait for me! I'll catch up with you!"
