Chapter 300 - 158

AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 158He obviously knew that Garp's visit this time was not as simple as just catching Luffy. If he really wanted to catch him, he would have done so two days ago....Inside the dock, in the room Iceberg had arranged for the Straw Hat to stay in, the atmosphere had just eased slightly due to Luffy's abrupt change of topic.Nami was inviting Robin and Vivi:"Anyway, we girls don't have anything to do right now. I heard there's a nice hot spring pool on the island, how about we go for a swim and relax?"Luffy immediately felt a little anxious when he heard this.He still had a study plan to complete with Robin!He awkwardly grabbed Robin's wrist. Vivi and Nami looked over, and he flashed an embarrassed yet polite smile."Uh, you know."Nami, of course, understood, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him."You don't rest, and you won't let Robin rest either?" she said with a hint of sourness in her tone.She was already a bit annoyed because Vivi and Luffy had disappeared in the middle of the night. A single man and woman exercising late at night?Who knew what kind of exercise that was!Now Luffy wanted to be alone with Robin again. Even if she knew it was likely just studying, why did she have to be left out?Yes, that last point was the most important.Luffy looked at Nami's pouting expression, and for some reason, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had a sudden realization, and he said:"Just a few hours, and then in a few hours, I'll have to trouble you, Nami.""Huh? You're even picking now? Is this a schedule?"Nami was startled at first, then puffed out her cheeks like an angry hamster, directly jumping onto Luffy and wrestling with him, pinching his face. "No! I refuse! We ladies need our private activity time, you go play by yourself!"Luffy, thick-skinned, let Nami mess with him and said:"Then add me?"It wasn't about developing Devil Fruit abilities or doing daily physical training; he could do those alone.But some plans involved studying together, so they couldn't be too far apart.At this moment, a commotion came from outside."What's that noise?"Vivi had just turned around when her face changed abruptly. She possessed the Wind-Wind Fruit and was more sensitive to auras. "This is bad, it's the Marines!"Her voice had just fallen.Bang!The room's window, along with the entire wall, was violently broken open from the outside, and dust filled the air.A tall figure wearing a Dog-Head Mask crashed in like a tank, his booming laughter making people's eardrums ache:"Luffy, you brat, hahahaha, I knew you'd come back here. Where are you hiding? Uh..."Garp's words stopped abruptly, because he saw the scene inside the room, and his mind instantly froze.Chapter 231 Luffy, the King Who Knows His Mistakes but Doesn't Correct ThemNami was straddling Luffy, her hands still pulling at his cheeks, Robin stood to the side, and Vivistood nervously against the wall.And Luffy was pinned beneath Nami, a posture that looked ambiguous no matter how you viewed it.Although their clothes were intact, there were three young women of different charms in this small room, and their relationship with his grandson seemed unusual.Anyone who didn't know might think they were making babies in that position. Fortunately, their clothes hadn't come off."You old geezer, you're not done yet, are you!"Luffy reacted instantly, suddenly got up, and bravely stood in front of the three girls, roaring at Garp who had broken through the wall, "Why are you like a plaster, impossible to shake off!"Garp's Stunned only lasted a second. He violently tore off his Dog-Head Mask, revealing his weathered yet majestic face, staring intently at Luffy, dangerous red light beginning to glow in his eyes, as if a volcano was brewing behind him, ready to erupt."What did you just call me?"Garp's voice was terrifyingly low, asking each word distinctly."Old geezer!" Luffy retorted, not showing any weakness.In front of his companions, especially Nami and the others, he absolutely could not show fear."You little brat!"Garp's rage instantly maxed out, his hair seeming to stand on end. "Get out here, let me teach you a good lesson with my Fists of Love!"His beard trembled with anger, but he seemed to retain a sliver of reason, not wanting to directly lay hands on Nami, Robin, and Vivi, these women who were possibly his grandsons' wives. It would damage his image too much.Nami was already scared and hugging Vivi, her face pale.Although Robin's expression remained calm, her eyes were incredibly serious, and her body was slightly tense, ready to activate her abilities at any moment.They had just barely escaped the pursuit of this Navy Hero, and unexpectedly, he had come knocking again so quickly.Seeing all three girls looking hostile and nervous, Garp irritably scratched his messy hair, as if forcibly suppressing his anger a bit, and his tone softened slightly."Forget it, this old man isn't here specifically to catch you today!"Luffy let out a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as he wasn't here for a death match, it was fine.He steeled himself, his tone also softening a bit, and asked, "Then what are you here for, Grandpa?"Robin and the others also looked at Garp in confusion, unsure whether he was friend or foe at this moment.Just then, a louder commotion, with the clashing of weapons, came from outside.Zoro and Chopper had returned, and seeing the Marines surrounding the area, they immediately started fighting them."Hey, Grandpa!"Luffy heard the commotion outside and grew anxious. "Since you're not here to catch me, tell your subordinates to stop!""So you still know I'm your grandpa!"Garp's barely suppressed anger flared up again. He lunged forward, furiously grabbed Luffy's collar, lifted him like a little chick, and almost spat on Luffy's face, "Look at the mess you've made, you damn brat.All these years of nurturing you, it's one thing not to become a Marine with me, but you actually ran off to become a pirate, and caused such a huge stir!Causing chaos at Enies Lobby, declaring war on the World Government! A bounty of 660 million! Are you trying to infuriate me to death?!""Let go of me, you old geezer! Haven't I always said I want to be a pirate!"Luffy struggled with all his might, but Garp's hand was as firm as an iron clamp.He knew that his grandpa was more angry than murderous at this moment, so he didn't resist with all his strength."Still talking back! That Red Hair brat is the one who corrupted you!"Garp roared, his fist mercilessly smashing onto Luffy's head.Bang!A dull thud, it sounded painful."That hurts, you bastard!"Luffy shrieked, a large bump instantly rising on his head."Are you still going to be a pirate!"Garp threw another punch."I will definitely become the Pirate King!""Incorrigible!"Bang! Bang! Bang!"Hiss!""Did you learn your lesson?""I learned my lesson! But I will definitely become the Pirate King!"Garp was so angry that he flared his nostrils and glared, but he couldn't do anything about it.His grandson was a stubborn one; no matter how much he beat him since childhood, he couldn't change his desire to be a pirate.Watching this chaotic yet heartwarming scene of grandfather and grandson, Nami, Vivi, and Robin, who had been incredibly tense, didn't know what expression to show for a moment.Should they worry? Luffy was being beaten badly, but Garp didn't seem to be trying to kill him.Should they not worry? The dull thuds of fist meeting flesh were truly frightening to hear.Was this the iron fist of love education?"Are we just going to leave them?"Vivi quietly asked Nami."Luffy isn't resisting, it's different from before."Nami replied, her mouth twitching.There probably wouldn't be any life-threatening danger, right?This thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the three.Bang!!Finally, Garp was so infuriated that he couldn't vent, so he simply threw the heavily bruised Luffyout of the broken hole like trash.Luffy's figure flew straight out, tracing a parabola in the air, then crashed with a boom, creating a sizable crater in the center of the open ground outside, stirring up a cloud of dust."Just like that rebellious son."Garp let out a long, turbid breath, as if expelling all the frustration in his chest, then bared his teeth and shouted outside, his voice regaining its previous booming quality:"Hey, give him a lesson."As his voice fell, a white figure shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, flying straight towards Luffy."Long time no see, Straw Hat.""Hm? Who are you?"Luffy shook his dazed head, which had been beaten, and squinted at the charging white figure.Although he had been badly beaten by his grandpa, that didn't mean others could just provoke him.After seeing clearly who it was, Luffy recognized him."Oh, it's you, Smoker?""Looks like you still remember me!"Smoker's lower body instantly elementalized, trailing thick smoke, and he rushed in front of Luffyat an extremely fast speed, his right arm bent, and he struck out fiercely.As his arm struck out, it instantly transformed into a jet of white smoke, extending, with a hard gauntlet wrapped in pitch-black Armament Haki at its end!"White Snake!"Bang!!So fast, and he even trained Haki?It seemed he wasn't the only one making progress in this world.However, Luffy's reaction was even faster!Or rather, his experience of fighting to the death with an enhanced Aokiji in a dream last night, developing a new form, had elevated his combat instincts and reaction speed by a notch.Almost the instant Smoker threw his punch, Luffy's body instinctively reacted.His skin instantly turned crimson, and then, streaks of pitch-black Haki patterns, as if alive, rapidly spread and intertwined beneath the red skin.Chapter 232 Luffy! The Fifth Emperor of the Sea?Gear Second: Haki Infusion!Luffy let out a low roar, directly entering the new form he had just developed last night.Steam condensed, red and black patterns glowed, and his aura suddenly soared.
