Looking at the group of people who were frozen, he waved his hand in disgust.
"Alright, it's time for you to go, hurry up," Orochimaru frowned impatiently.
Red Hair, who hadn't even thanked him yet, looked at the pale-skinned child opposite him, not understanding why the child had been so unwelcoming to him since they met. Red Hair felt a little wronged. I, Shanks, am a user of the Face-Face Fruit after all, don't I need to save face?
"Why not? Did I do something wrong? Orochimaru-chan, why don't you like me?" Red Hair looked at the person with feigned resentment.
Orochimaru turned his head away, finding it an eyesore. He's already so old, why is he acting like a child throwing a tantrum?
Shanks felt a bit powerless, lowering his head dejectedly, and turned to leave in a forlorn manner. Beside him, Beckman covered his forehead, not wanting to look at his embarrassing Captain.
"I, Shanks, am definitely not disliked. Orochimaru is just awkward and shy. It must be!" Shanks secretly cheered himself on.
Before parting, Shanks regained his seriousness and thanked Orochimaru.
"Thanks. And regarding Uta, I've decided to ask for her opinion. I hope she'll forgive me, her presumptuous father."
His seriousness lasted less than 3 seconds.
"Orochimaru-chan... are you really not going to tell me why you dislike me? I don't even mind Orochimaru-chan's coldness."
(╬￣dish￣)
Indeed, it would have been better to leave him crippled. Asking was regret, deep regret.
Ignoring the person maliciously acting cute, he dragged Luffy, ready to leave. Although he didn't plan to be a Marine in the future and would most likely go to sea with Luffy, Luffy's original destiny was also to become a Pirate. Although it was just a mission that the manga protagonist had to experience, for him now, this was real. Just thinking about Luffy being abducted inexplicably still made him furious.
And the main reason was that just thinking about Luffy loudly shouting every day in the future,
"I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!"
He could already imagine Garp's furious expression. He might get beaten along with Luffy, which made his scalp tingle... Or... should I be a bit more obedient in front of Garp in the future?
That seems possible. Thinking of Luffy's other two brothers, Garp hasn't had an obedient Grandson yet, has he? Good! That's decided! Limited edition obedient Orochimaru, after all, I'm also a child! It's normal to be afraid of getting beaten, right?
Right! This is a disguise! What Ninja are best at is disguise! That's right! It's definitely not admitting defeat!
Should I discuss it with Garp... not to hit my butt... I don't need special treatment... just hit my head like Luffy... He then shook his head frantically, no, no, it's better not to be hit. That old man is very self-important. It's better not to say anything; saying something might even get me an extra beating.
I need to think about how to get through the first hurdle... I'll act spoiled... and I'll have to drag Luffy along.
Shanks watched Orochimaru standing there in a daze, his face gloomy, his expression constantly changing. He was a bit confused, he hadn't done anything... why was he angry again?
"Captain! Time to set sail!" A sailor shouted.
Orochimaru snapped back to reality, glanced at Red Hair. Good, he wouldn't see him for the next ten years. He turned and pulled Luffy, who was reluctantly waving goodbye to Shanks, off the ship. Just as he was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, feeling a bit mischievous.
"Red-Haired Shanks, please make sure to live well. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll probably be chased and beaten by Garp in the next few years."
"I'm going to tell Garp exactly how you abducted his Grandson to become a Pirate," Orochimaru said, grinding his teeth, a rare sight.
Several days later in Foosha Village, Orochimaru was still working at the bar, and Luffy was still drinking orange juice and discussing Shanks with the people in the bar.
Getting excited, he stood on the table ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
"I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!"
Just then, the bar door was pushed open, and silence instantly fell. Only Luffy was still laughing triumphantly. Garp, burning with anger, looked at Luffy. Hearing that Red-Haired Shanks was lingering in Foosha Village, Garp rushed back, only to hear his Grandson shouting about becoming a Pirate. His face darkened.
"Luffy! Are you going to give this old man an explanation?"
Garp grabbed Luffy, about to beat him, only to see Luffy fall directly, his arms stretching out.
Garp was uncharacteristically flustered.
"Luffy... Luffy! What's wrong with you! Did Grandpa do this! Why are you stretched out?"
Holding Luffy's arm, he roared at his subordinate.
"Where's the ship doctor!! Doctor, doctor! Come quickly and see my Grandson!"
The subordinate covered his forehead.
"Vice Admiral Garp, calm down. If nothing unexpected, your Grandson's condition is likely due to consuming a Devil Fruit."
Garp slapped his forehead, "Soga, so it was a Devil Fruit. Then it's fine."
"Huh? A Devil Fruit?? Where did that thing come from?"
