The vast o stretched out endlessly, its surface shimmering uhe golden rays of the sun. Each rolling wave glistened like liquid crystal, dang in a rhythmic embrace as they collided softly against the sides of a colossal battleship.
The vessel surged through the waters with pourpose, cutting a determined path through the deep blue expahe sea breeze whistled, carrying the st of salt and adventure, while the ship's hull groaned with the melody of motion, steady aless.
All across the deck, dozens of sailors moved with practiced precision, their movements swift and sure as they atteo their duties. The sound of ropes tightening, sails fpping, and boots thudding against the wooden pnks blended with the soothing ce of the o waves.
Sitting fortably on a sturdy chair he bow, Vice Admiral Garp leaned back with a carefree smile, a handful of senbei in his grasp. He ched on the savory snacks gleefully, sav each bite. Having shifted the task of training his mischievous grandson to his loyal subordinate Barp took the time to relish these peaceful moments.
Reports of his grandson's progress reached him often, eae painting the picture of an exceptional prodigy—mastering basic teiques with a brilliahat surpassed even Garp's high expectations.
Almost a year had passed since he'd taken young Luffy under his wing, determio shape him into a warriuilt for years of absence lingered, but now, with each shared voyage and challenges overe, Garp found so their time together.
Their journey was relentless; they traveled the breadth of the Four Seas and eveured into the tumultuous Grand Line. On each expedition, Luffy faced fierce creatures of staggering might, honing his strength and his skills growing at an astonishing rate.
Yet even as the world was rocked by the infamous Fisher Tiger's daring assault on the Holy Land Mary Geoise—an act that set off waves of rebellion and hope—Garp's mission of nurturing Luffy tinued, undisturbed.
When orders pulled him baarineford fent matters, Garp brought his grandson along, his presence cealed fr eyes. He had yet to introduce Luffy to his friends or fellow officers and made sure Bogard kept the boy close, out of mischief's reach.
Duty pleted with haste, Garp made an excuse to depart, determio return Luffy to the safety of Foosha Vilge. He khe spark of genius his grandson possessed, a rare light that he feared might draw unwatention. Years of loyal service had taught him too well the shadows that lurked behind the gleaming veneer of the Wover.
Garp wanted Luffy to pursue justice, to stand strong as he did—but the cost of being a pawn to corruption.
As the battleship cut through the rolling waves, the sun dipped low, casting a warm glow over the sea and tinting the sky with hues of amber and rose. It was a se of rare beauty, the ship sailing forward, carrying a legendary hero and a boy with a boundless destiny.
"Garp-san, we'll be reag the Goa Kingdom in about ten minutes," A sailor reported, standing at attention and saluting Garp.
"Oh, is it that time already?" Garp chuckled, scratg the back of his head before asking, "Where's the brat?"
"Mr. Luffy is still iraining room. Would you like me to call him?" The sailor inquired.
Garp's ughter boomed as he waved the idea away. "Bwahaha… no need for that. Carry on with your duties. I'll go find him myself."
"Yes, Sir!" The sailor saluted once more before returning to his post.
Finishing the st of his senbei by tipping the packet into his mouth, Garp chewed happily before springing to his feet. Stretg his arms with a tent sigh, he made his way ihe ship, eager to see his grandson's progress firsthand.
Marines and sailors alike greeted him warmly as he passed, their expressions brimming with resped admiration. Garp returheir salutes with a broad smile, embodying the easygoing nature that set him apart from many h-ranking officers. He was more than just a vice admiral; he was a living legend, revered and trusted by those who served under him. And by extension, Luffy received simir warmth and support, with marines willing to assist in his training, guiding him early as he developed his skills.
"Bwahaha… Hey, brat! Yrandpa's here!" Garp's hearty voice echoed as he flung open the door to the training room, only to be rendered speechless by what he saw.
Bang!
Boom!
Bang!
Two figures moved with blinding speed, weaving through the training room in an intense sparring session. One was Luffy, and the other, was Garp's dependable right-hand man, Bogard.
Their duel was anything but ordinary; it was a testament to the progress Luffy had made in just a year.
Garp's sharp eyes caught every movement, marveling at Luffy's mastery of Soru and Kami-e, advanced marine bat teiques. The boy's fists shimmered with the jet-bck hue of Armament Haki as he traded blows with Bogard's uhed sword—a sight few could witness.
Garp knew Bogard's strength intimately; it was no small feat to push him to draw his bde, a challenge usually reserved for marine captains her.
The dispy firmed what Garp had e to suspect: Luffy's growth was extraordinary. He had not only mastered arieiques but had awakened Observation and Armament Haki, developing them to an impressive level. The realizatio Garp with a mix of pride and astonishment.
In that instant, Luffy's form blurred, disappearing so swiftly that it seemed as if he left an afterimage behind. Before Bogard could react, a powerful fist nded squarely on his midse, sending him hurtling backward until he collided with the wall.
Tti-ring!
A melodic sound echoed in Luffy's mind, signaling a level-up. A grin spread across his youthful, yet determined face.
Meanwhile, Garp stood frozen, eyes wide as he processed what he had just witnessed. His grandson had surpassed the ventional limits of Soru's speed, a feat so remarkable that even with his own Observation Haki, Garp wasn't sure he could have evaded that strike.
'Status!'
Unaware of Garp's presence, Luffu opened his status panel.
