Chapter 334: Garp's Instructions
"I'm already over 50 years old. I was already 50 when Ace was born. Do you think I'm fit to be Ace's father? Do I still want to keep my reputation? If people think I'm a fool, how can I face my colleagues and friends in the future? What on earth is going on in your head?"
Garp said unhappily that he really wasn't trying to take advantage of Roger, he just wanted to better protect Ace. The more reasonable it was, the safer Ace would be. If they really became father and son, it would easily arouse suspicion.
"That makes sense! Grandpa and grandson are a good match, but is it appropriate for the old man to tell me such a secret? I'm under so much pressure! I don't dare to sleep anymore, for fear that I'll talk in my sleep one day!"
Vic said helplessly, he didn't expect the old man to trust him so much. What would he do if Ace was executed in the future? As a navy, should he help Whitebeard save people?
Knowing the truth earlier would be completely different from what the old man told him. If the old man really asked him to protect Ace, he would have decided to kill Blackbeard when he went to fight Whitebeard. Without this troublemaker, there would have been no execution later. However, the plot would not have taken the original direction, and he would not have had so many advantages of foresight.
After hearing what Vic said, Cap turned around and looked at Dadan, who had stopped eating meat and was concentrating on listening to the gossip, and was scared half to death. Her body trembled and she almost peed. She was now afraid that Cap would silence her after hearing such secret information.
The old man just took a look and ignored Dadan. Since he had given Ace to Dadan to teach and raise, it was a proof of his trust. Although he had not told Ace's background before, it did not affect his trust.
"I will tell Ace everything about his life story sooner or later. It will be up to him to decide what path he will take.
If he is a navy officer like you, then there is nothing wrong with that. But if he chooses to follow Roger's path, then you will need to pay more attention to him. By that time, I may have retired from the navy and will not be able to intervene in many things.
By that time, you will be in your prime, and you may have become an admiral in the navy, with a lot of say, so you can just give in a little bit. This will be considered as me, as a grandfather, paving the way for my grandson.
If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have thought of him, and could only try my best to teach him to become a sailor in the future!"
Garp stated his purpose. Even if Dadan didn't bring Ace to eat today, he would take Vic to the mountain to meet Ace alone. This was also one of the purposes of returning to the East China Sea this time.
He couldn't possibly hide Ace's background. It was hard to say what path Ace would take in the future. Having Ravik come here was a form of insurance. He really was raising Ace as his grandson.
Dadan has been curious about Vic since he first appeared. This man is really handsome and stylish, but she doesn’t know what his relationship with Cap is. Now after hearing what Cap said, she was really surprised!
This is a person who may become a navy admiral in the future. Looking at Garp's expression, it is not surprising that this navy guy will become an admiral.
Garp's position in the navy is too solid. He even told Ace about his life story. You can imagine what the relationship between the two sides is like.
There is also Aokiji in front who is the younger brother of this old guy and is also a popular candidate to be the admiral of the navy. The figure of Garp is becoming more and more prominent in her heart. She decided to be nicer to Ace in the future. Maybe he will be a big figure in the navy in the future. In this chaotic ocean, some connections are still necessary.
"Old man, since you asked for it yourself, what else is there to say? I took the photo of Ace, do you want me to take the photo of Luffy as well?"
Vic touched Ace's head and agreed directly. He owed the old man a lot of favors, and the old man really protected him and even beat up Akainu for him. It was really a lot of pressure.
Ace dodged Vic's head-patting move with an unhappy look on his face. It's okay for his own grandfather to touch him, but I don't know you. Who asked you to take care of me? I will definitely be stronger than you in the future. Who is Luffy?
At this time, Ace was not very talkative and was a little cold, but his facial expressions were still very rich.
"There's no need to worry about Luffy's situation. His father is capable of taking care of it. I'm not too worried about him. Since you agreed, go back. I have something to say to them!"
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand at Vic, indicating that Vic should go away and not stay there anymore, as he had something else to say in private.
Vic curled his lips and said, "People who need help should move forward, and people who need help should move backward. I'm too lazy to argue with you." Vic rubbed Ace's head again before standing up and walking back. He didn't know what the old man wanted to say, but it was probably about introducing himself.
He did not return to the banquet venue, but found a place far away by the sea and began to practice, with lightning and thunder filling his body and he was filled with domineering aura.
......
The next day, most of the villagers woke up at the banquet venue. The couple fell drunk together and probably didn't even know they were dragged away.
Dadan and his gang had eaten and drunk their fill and left while no one was paying attention. The scene was a bit messy, but those who had gotten up early were already cleaning it up. Rebecca found Vic using her Observation Haki and brought him breakfast, which was the food that was not finished last night and was roasted again in the morning.
"Grandpa! How long will we stay here? You know, I'm also from Donghai. It's not easy to come to Donghai. I don't have as much freedom as you. If there is enough time, I would like to go see my old acquaintances!"
After breakfast, Vic returned to the banquet and found the old man still there eating and drinking, with Luffy sleeping in his legs and blowing bubbles.
"How long will you stay? It depends on the situation. I'll give you a Den Den Mushi and my life card. If there's an emergency, I'll notify you. With your ability, you should be able to get there quickly, and it won't affect the mission!"
Garp pondered for a moment before answering, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and handed it to Vic, then took out a piece of white paper and tore a corner of it and gave it to Vic.
He knew how fast Vic traveled and was extremely envious. If he had this ability, he could come back to see his grandson every day and live and work at home. Even Kizaru, who possessed the Pikachu Fruit, had not developed this ability.
"That's great! I'll just be away for a few days, and I'll be back if there's no mission!"
After talking to Cap, Vic went to find Rebecca and the others. He had already planned to go to Shimotsuki Village. He hadn't seen Kuina and Koshiro for a long time. He probably must be hated by Kuina now. He also had to think about how to coax the little girl when he went to Shimotsuki Village.
