Chapter 360 Getting along
"What a stupid son who only causes trouble for others."
Long was completely speechless as words of complaint came out of his mouth lightly.
Later, when faced with Luffy falling off a cliff, Dragon certainly couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
Even though he was a little goofy, Luffy was his son.
Long used the power of the Wind-Wind Fruit and his body became illusory.
It turned into a gust of wind that swept through the air at high speed and caught Luffy who was falling from the sky.
At this moment, Luffy was looking panic-stricken and aggressive.
He closed his eyes, not daring to look down, and waved his hands vigorously.
After taking Luffy, the wind that turned into a dragon rose into the sky at a high speed and flew towards the top of the mountain.
Finally, they found a piece of flat ground and put Luffy down.
Feeling the touch of his buttocks hitting the ground, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes.
After finding out that he was not killed by the fall, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"I don't know how I survived the fall from such a high place, but I'm glad to be alive!"
"Very good, let's continue on our journey. I must find Ace and the others!"
After Luffy made up his mind, he stood up from the grass, patted his butt and continued walking forward.
After putting Luffy down, Dragon, who was hiding behind a bush, became even more silent.
How come you seem to have inherited this carefree look from your father, Garp...
There was nothing like his calmness at all.
I don't know how Dad usually teaches Luffy...
Long couldn't help but complain to Garp in his heart.
However, he naturally did not dare to say these words of blame in front of Garp.
He didn't want to experience the feeling of being spanked by Garp by taking off his slippers again. That was simply a shadow in his heart.
After that, Dragon always followed Luffy, silently helping him solve the dangers he encountered on the road.
Finally, after driving away a wild boar that was chasing Luffy.
Long simply couldn't help it!
……
"Hey, you,
Are you looking for someone in this dangerous forest?"
Luffy was walking along the forest path, skipping and humming a happy tune.
He had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.
He looks very optimistic and cheerful.
It was as if he had forgotten the dangers he had just experienced.
At this moment, Dragon appeared from behind a big tree and blocked Luffy's way.
"Wow!
Huh, uncle, don’t show up suddenly.
It gave me a fright.”
When Luffy saw the Queen Dragon suddenly appear in front of him, he jumped back in fright.
Until he saw clearly that the person in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a gray-brown cloak, revealing the lower half of his mature face.
Luffy then patted his heart and spoke with a frightened look on his face.
"I'm so sorry for scaring you.
But how come you appear in this dangerous forest alone?
It’s very dangerous here, there are many wild animals that can eat an adult in one bite.”
Long spoke in a somewhat kind manner.
At the same time, he felt a little nervous. After so many years, this was the first time he spoke to his son face to face...
"As for me, I need to go look for my friends. They should be living in the woods."
Luffy grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth together, and smiled at the dragon.
"Looking for friends? I see..."
Friend, could it be a member of Cangzhi Tianwai?
After realizing this, Long's eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood suddenly lit up.
Perhaps he could try to win over the leader of the Blue Sky, let him join the revolutionary army, and become a comrade working together!
Judging from the fact that this leader of the Blue Sky has been fighting crime on the sea,
Maybe they can communicate with each other and have the same views on the corrupt aristocracy and royal family that oppresses the common people.
Thinking of this, Long couldn't help but get excited.
If they could successfully win over the leader of Cang Zhi Tian Wai, their team would have an extra strong man who could stand on his own!
……
The thought of this.
Long looked at Luffy in front of him and couldn't help but said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll help you find them.
It's too dangerous here. If you walk alone in this forest, you will be attacked by wild beasts."
"really?
Uncle, you are such a good man!"
Seeing that someone was helping him find Ace and the others, Luffy's face showed excitement, his eyes shining.
In this way, Dragon and Luffy embarked on a journey to find the Blue Sky.
It's a rare opportunity to be alone with my son face to face.
Dragon found various topics to chat with Luffy while walking in the jungle.
What Luffy found strange was that Mount Korpo was originally home to many ferocious beasts.
When he and the dragon were traveling together, they did not encounter any attacks from wild beasts along the way!
It's really strange.
But, come on, it's a good thing.
Luffy was also happy about this.
Leisurely walking side by side with the dragon on the forest path.
The two chatted along the way.
"By the way, kid, we've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your name."
Long asked in a pretentious manner, with the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
It was clear that he enjoyed the private time with his son.
My name is Luffy! I am the man who will become the Pirate King!
This classic line did not come from Luffy's mouth.
Now that Red Hair no longer has the opportunity to cut off his arm for Luffy or play the role of Luffy, Luffy did not make a vow to Red Hair to become the Pirate King.
Without Red Hair's interference, Luffy became much more normal.
"My name is Luffy, and in the future I may become a pirate who sails freely on the sea!"
Luffy introduced himself with a smile.
"Becoming a pirate...
But why did you use the word maybe?
"
Long asked curiously.
"Or are you saying that you haven't made up your mind about becoming a pirate?"
After hearing what Dragon said, Luffy scratched his head in shock.
Then the image of Ace and his friends bravely fighting against evil emerged in his mind, filling him with longing.
Then at this moment, the image of the free and unrestrained appearance of the Red Hair Pirates appeared in his mind again.
Two images fought in his mind, and in the end, the image of the Red Hair Pirates won, crushing the image of Ace and others.
"Hehe, I still want to be a pirate, because that way I can be a free man."
Long: "I see, freedom..."
It seemed that his son was pursuing the same thing as he was.
What he pursues is everyone's freedom.
What Luffy pursues is his own freedom.
Then Long grinned and said, "Pirates? That's a good choice."
Then the two figures gradually walked away amid the sound of conversation.
To some extent, it was Lin who facilitated the opportunity for Luffy and Dragon, father and son, to spend time together and have a heart-to-heart talk.
You know, in the original story, Luffy was 19 years old and had never spoken a word to his father...
The current situation is also due to Lin En's indirect influence, which has made up for the regrets between the two.
