Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain - Chapter 559

[Chapter 558]

“Welcome to Lieutenant General Karp”

The terrifying realm of sea kings, a large underwater prison buried deep in the sea, known as the prison of the world’s hell.

A large group of naval soldiers, led by the Undersea Warden Magellan and Deputy Warden Hannibal, came out to welcome the arrival of Lieutenant General Karp.

On the dog-headed warship, Garp followed Kerby, who became a lieutenant, and Hrummabe behind him. After passing in front of the welcoming navy, he came to Magellan.

Facing Lieutenant General Garp, Magellan respectfully said: “Lieutenant General Garp, with the permission of the Warring States Marshal, you can meet Fire Fist Ace alone, we have prepared the room.”

A high-ranking naval officer who has gone through the era of great voyages, but a witness to the era of Garp, when Garp was a legend in the navy, countless pirates had nightmares.

It is precisely because of the existence of strong men like Garp that the navy can stand in the dark age of the great voyage and protect the justice of the navy. This is the treatment that Garp should accept.

Nodding his head, Garp stepped into the big prison, “No need, I just said something, I don’t need a special room, just go to the sixth floor.”

As Garp entered, Magellan and others led the underwater prison, and then walked into the prison, leaving a team of navy guards outside.

Through the elevator, Garp walked all the way, there was no ordinary smile on his face, only a serious look on his face.

The elevator door opened, and Kap stepped out. Magellan and the others did not follow. Everyone knew about the relationship between Lieutenant General Kap and Fire Fist Ace. This was a rare conversation between their grandfather and grandson.

Stepping into the sixth floor, it is also the most important floor of the entire underwater prison. Compared with the five floors above, the silence here is terrifying.

Because the people detained here are extremely dangerous existences for the Navy headquarters. When these people were arrested back then, it wasted a lot of the Navy’s strength.

Usually, apart from the prison guards who deliver meals, no one on the sixth floor comes here. Many prisoners have been in this dark cell for decades.

Steady footsteps sounded on the sixth floor of the entire submarine prison, and many powerhouses on the sixth floor closed their eyes and opened their eyes at that moment.

It is not a strange thing for someone to come. After all, there are people here who deliver meals every day, but they can all feel that the visitor is a strong person.

The breath of this powerhouse does not belong to Magellan, but the breath it exudes is much stronger than Magellan.

“Kapp, you old guy isn’t dead yet!”

Walking through the long corridor and passing by the door of a cell, a strange aura suddenly emanated from it, mixed with a frightening darkness.

Hearing the shouting to himself, Garp stopped abruptly, squinted like a prison cell, and said lightly: “Red Earl, you haven’t died in the big prison yet, how could I die”.

I saw that a man in the cell was wearing a red cloak, with two clear blood-like traces on his face, which must be another strong man who dominated the great route back then.

It was a pity that he was still caught by the navy, and two hard sea tower stone chains were firmly fixed on the shoulders of the red earl.

Slowly opening his eyes, the red earl said: “Kapp, I didn’t expect to see you, an old guy. You sent me to the big prison in that battle and let me stay in it for more than ten years.”

Looking away from the red earl, Kap stepped out and said at the same time: “This era has changed, it is the best choice for you to stay here.”

Not only the Red Earl, but along the way, Garp met at least a lot of powerful pirates who woke up and greeted Garp.

Most of them were defeated by Garp and then sent to the big prison, where they have stayed until now, and some of them have a lot of hatred with Garp.

Ignoring these people, Garp came directly to a cell, stopped moving forward, and looked at the figure in the cell, which was tightly imprisoned on the ground by Hailou stone chains.

Sensing that someone was coming, the figure did not raise his head, but lowered his head and said, “Smelly old man, you are here!”

The silent sixth floor became noisy because of Garp’s arrival. How could the figure not know Garp’s arrival, and at the same time understand that Garp came here to find himself.

“Ace, you stinky boy!” Looking at the decadent figure in the cell, Garp scolded as always.

It’s just that there is no such anger and teaching in the words, only a kind of helplessness and tiredness.

Looking up, Ace looked at Garp with haggard cheeks, and smiled lightly: “Smelly old man, you are still as always, scolding us as soon as you speak.”

“Like back then, the first time I heard Luffy and I was that you scold me as a stinky boy, and then beat us both hard and asked us to become navy, but we both became pirates.”

Speaking of Luffy, Ace showed a sincere smile on his face, “I heard that Luffy not only solved Crocodile, but also defeated Lu Qi of CP9, and that kid who caused trouble gradually became famous. ”.

“Ace, don’t you really know?” Garp’s silent voice sounded, and it was indeed a question, “Luffy is like you, the more famous you are, the easier it is to be topped by the navy, maybe one day, Luffy will will be like you.”

Shaking his head, Ace said firmly: “No, Luffy is the man who became One Piece, how could he be caught by the navy”.

“Old man, did you know? We both went out to sea with the goal of becoming pirates, but our starting points were indeed different.”

“Luffy wants to be the freest existence on this sea and experience all kinds of interesting adventures, but I want to walk on the road of that man, I want to see that on that road, there is really the kind of person who can make him abandon his family. Reason?”

Speaking of that man, Ace no longer had the excitement, anger, and hatred that he easily showed when he was young, but only calm.

Pursing his lips, Karp asked, “Finally, did you find the answer you need?”

“No,” bowing his head, Ace didn’t find the answer he had when he went to sea, but the conversation suddenly changed, “However, I found a real family relationship, one that allows me to experience the feeling of family.”

“Are you affectionate?” With a soft whisper, Garp felt that he always understood.

In fact, Garp has always understood in his heart about this grandson. Since he was a child, when he heard countless people around him tell that his father was a big villain, and Ace, who was considered to be the culprit in the death of his own mother by the village, what he lacked in his heart was a sense of urgency. A real affection.

After a pause, Ace continued: “Dad gave me the responsibilities and things that man has never given. For me, I only have one father.”

This time, Garp didn’t speak. Instead, he opened the prison door, walked in, came to Ace, looked down at Ace, raised his palm and slapped it mercilessly.

Snapped!

A loud slap echoed throughout the cell. Looking at Ace with blood on the corner of his mouth, Karp scolded angrily: “You know what? Twenty years ago, in a cell, that man, the only thing he asked me to do was One thing, let me help you to be born safely into this world.”

“Really?” Ace let out a disdain in his mouth, looked up at Karp, and shouted excitedly: “But where was that man when I was born, where was that man when my mother died, and where was that man when I was born? I can only watch countless people my age come home, but I don’t even have a basic home, where is he?”

As if venting his anger, Ace’s tone slowly relaxed, “Actually, sometimes, I envy Luffy. Although he doesn’t know who his parents are, he has countless people who care about him in Windmill Village.”

Hearing this, Garp’s slap, which had been raised in anger, no longer had the strength to slap it any further.

Why!

With a deep sigh, Karp sat down cross-legged and said slowly, “You know, when your mother gave you twenty months of patience to keep you from being hunted by the navy.”

“During that time, I often observed your mother secretly. She was a terrible woman and mother, and it was a miracle that she delayed your birth by ten months.”

“Back then, when she handed you over to me, in addition to asking me to take care of you, she also asked me to make you understand that he is a real father! But now it seems that I have not done a good job.”

Hearing this, the excited Ace quieted down for a long time, then shook his head and said, “Stinky old man, you did nothing wrong, you did a good job, but I only have one dad, and that is Whitebeard!”

Silence, the cell suddenly fell into an eerie silence, neither of the masters said anything, so they remained silent.

Until finally Karp made this silence, clenching his fists, his body trembled slightly, even a man like Karp would tremble.

You can imagine how Garp was struggling at this time, “Why? Ace, why don’t you just follow what I said and become pirates? Why?”

Looking at the trembling old man in front of him, Ace could vaguely see a ray of light in the corner of the old man’s eyes, struggling, regret, and pain, all appearing on the old man’s face that had gone through countless years of vicissitudes.

Ace, I suddenly understood at this time that the old man in front of him was faced with a choice of how to struggle. On the one hand, it was his grandson, and on the other hand, it was the naval justice and belief that he insisted on. Why should the old man who should rest bear it? .

“Ace, you know, there are countless people in this world who are worried about you. You are now caught by the Navy, how many people will be affected, and how many will embark on the road to rescue you without hesitation.”

“Your mother used her life to let you land in this world. Lin Tian told me that he stopped you in Alabasta, why would you not cherish your life, why should you go?”

In more than ten years, Ace felt that it was the first time that he had looked at Garp so closely and quietly, and the corners of his eyes could not help but sour.

Ace, raised his hands from the ground, knelt down slowly, and bowed his head to Garp, who was sitting in front of him.

“I’m sorry…Grandpa!”
