The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

Laying the cards out on the deck, Ma Yan laughed loudly, "Come on! Let me, your grandpa, teach you a new game! The game is called—'Werewolf'! Hahahaha..."

Chapter 16 Little Luffy

"Werewolf? What's that?"

"A Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, werewolf form?"

"never heard of that."

Immediately, the sailors on the ship gathered around curiously.

Hehe! A Navy-style werewolf game is about to unfold in this pirate world!

Ma Yan smiled smugly to himself and immediately explained the rules of Werewolf to everyone.

"What's the point of this? Isn't it just a game of finding spies?" Garp said with a straight face, picking his nose and turning to look at the sea with an indifferent expression.

"Then don't play! I'll be the referee and teach them how to play!" Ma Yan grinned mischievously and looked at the navy men in front of him, saying, "Who wants to play? This game requires nine people!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Garp.

Without their own boss speaking up, they wouldn't dare to jump out and stir things up.

When they saw Garp wave his hand dismissively, everyone eagerly raised their hands.

Ma Yan selected nine people, assigned them numbers, and then had them come up and draw cards themselves.

"Alright, now everyone has their cards. Do you all know your roles?" After the nine people returned to their positions, Ma Yan began to preside.

"Okay."

The nine people nodded. As they spoke, one of them glanced mysteriously at the cards in his hand and then gave a cryptic look.

They had already understood the rules when Ma Yan explained them earlier!

The most important thing about this game is that no matter what cards you get, you shouldn't reveal it on your face.

"Alright, let's begin! It's dark, please close your eyes, everyone pull your hats down to cover your eyes."

Upon hearing this, all nine people closed their eyes and covered them with their hats.

"Werewolf, please open your eyes and choose the person you want to kill."

Ma Yan spoke again, and immediately three navy men smiled, raised their hat brims, looked each other up and down, and after confirming each other's identities, began to kill.

Werewolf #2 pointed to Werewolf #1 next to him.

Werewolf #5 and Werewolf #8 shook their heads in disagreement, and then Werewolf #5 pointed to Bearded Navyman #4.

Number 2 and Number 8 exchanged a glance, then both smiled and nodded in agreement.

Number 4 is a sergeant, someone they usually wouldn't dare offend, but now is the perfect time to strike.

"Werewolf, please close your eyes," Ma Yan said again.

After all the werewolves closed their eyes, he said again, "Seer, please open your eyes."

Navy No. 6 raised the brim of his hat, looked around, and then looked at Ma Yan.

"Please select the target to be inspected."

After looking around again, Seer #6 thought for a moment and then pointed to Seer #5 beside him.

This kid is always pushing himself, so the first person he wanted to check was him.

Ma Yan raised his hand and made a claw gesture to indicate that he was a werewolf, and Number 6 immediately bit his lip in surprise.

"Prophet, please close your eyes; witch, please open your eyes."

After Number 6 closed her eyes, Witch Number 9 raised the brim of her hat, looked at everyone on her right, and then looked at Ma Yan.

"If someone is killed, should medicine be used to save them? Should poison be used to kill them?"

Number 9 shook his head without hesitation. It was only the beginning of the game, and he didn't know anything yet, so of course he wouldn't kill people randomly or save people haphazardly.

Please close your eyes.

Number 9 closed his eyes.

"It's dawn! Everyone open your eyes."

After a few seconds of pause, once everyone had opened their eyes, Ma Yan began, "On the first night, Number 4 was killed. Number 4's identity was..."

As they spoke, everyone's eyes turned to number 4.

"Why...why me...I'm a good person!" Number 4, the bearded man, sat down on the deck in frustration, revealing his card, which identified him as a civilian.

"On the first night, civilians were killed. Now, let's start speaking from number 1..."

The game continues.

At first, no one thought it was anything special.

But as the game progressed, the players began to use their wits and courage to outwit each other, which immediately piqued everyone's interest.

Even Garp, who had been looking disdainful, now had his eyes shining, looking quite eager to try.

So much so that by the second day, Garp had become the biggest Iron Wolf on the ship!

I don't know if it was luck or if this old guy was cheating, but he was the werewolf nine times out of ten.

Ma Yan said there was nothing he could do; he could only tell Garp that Observation Haki couldn't be used in the game.

Whether they'll listen or not, we don't know.

After three days at sea, the warship docked at a port on a small island.

"Is this the island where Windmill Town is located? Will Shanks' ship dock at this pier a few years from now?" Standing at the bow of the ship, Ma Yan looked into the distance, taking in the harbor and the distant Windmill Town.

"Lord Garp, welcome back!"

"Lord Garp, it's been a while!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, you're still so hale and hearty..."

When the fishermen working at the port saw Kapu leading his team off the boat, they all greeted him with smiles on their faces.

This shows that Garp was quite popular in the village.

"Hahaha……"

Garp laughed heartily and greeted each of the villagers he met, showing no airs of a lieutenant general whatsoever.

Ma Yan followed behind him with a sullen expression.

I can't not follow along, that old geezer Garp said that if I don't follow, he'll carry me.

It would be too embarrassing to carry it, so he had no choice but to go along with it.

He could even hear people discussing whether Ma Yan was also Garp's grandson, or his illegitimate son.

Illegitimate child my ass! Your whole family are illegitimate children!

"Luffy, your grandpa is back!"

The navy soldiers broke away from the group and roamed freely in the village. Garp took Ma Yan back to their home.

Garp's yard is very big, and little Luffy, who is just over a year old, is rolling around in the yard, blowing snot bubbles.

Upon hearing Garp's voice, Luffy, who should have been overjoyed, suddenly showed a look of fear on his face, got up, and staggered back into the house.

"Luffy, why are you running? Let Grandpa carry you!" Garp entered the yard and caught up with Luffy in a few strides.

Then he used his steel-needle-like beard to rub Luffy's face for a while.

In just a few seconds, Luffy's once youthful face was shaved blood red by Garp's beard.

"Help! Grandpa's going to kill his own grandson!" Luffy cried out.

"Lord Garp... you're back."

The nanny came out upon hearing the noise, and stood aside to greet them, both amused and exasperated.

She was used to it; whenever Garp came back on vacation to see his grandson, he would definitely cause such a scene.

"Is this the powerful grandson you were talking about?"

After Garp put the crying Luffy down, Ma Yan went over, reached out and grabbed his arm, lifting him up and shaking him in the air.

"Waaah... Who are you... Why are you bullying me too... Waaah..." Luffy cried as he looked at Ma Yan, wiping away his tears with his other hand.

"It's just a slug, what's so special about it? Does it cry a lot?"

Ma Yan ignored him, reached out and lifted his leg, turned him upside down and shook him as casually as if he were shaking a rag doll.

Chapter 17: Meeting Shanks Four Years Later

Garp chuckled and clenched his fist, saying, "I think we can start training you now! Come on, taste my beloved iron fist!"

"when--"

"Ouch—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Garp punched Ma Yan on the head, where a large bump immediately appeared.

"You old bastard, you ambushed me! Watch out for hidden weapons!" Ma Yan angrily flung his hand, throwing Luffy at Garp.

"Hahaha...you brat, you better be prepared!" Garp casually caught Luffy and put him aside, then grinned and charged forward.

Garp's teaching of Ma Yan was not as gentle as Rayleigh's; it was truly brutal and ruthless.

From the beginning, Karp didn't offer Ma Yan much verbal guidance, but instead told him to experience it for himself.

During this period, the system did not provide any findings or alerts.

This shows that Garp is truly teaching Ma Yan how to use Armament Haki and Observation Haki more skillfully.

Especially Garp's signature Iron Fist of Love, which truly embodies the saying "the deeper the love, the deeper the pain."

"Can't I just put up with it? Anyway, I'm still quite young. Taking a few years to cultivate in seclusion isn't a bad idea!"

Once the sun had disappeared below the horizon, Ma Yan lay sprawled on the ground, gazing up at the vast starry sky above.

Beside him, Luffy lay there, his face also bruised and swollen, saying with tears welling up in his eyes, "Why do I have to get beaten up too... Waaaaah..."
