On the Whitebeard Pirates' Ship
"Pops...is that man really your former captain?"
"Gurararara! Yes. That man was quite something else."
...
Wano Country
"He was actually Lord Kaido's former captain?!"
"If Lord Kaido is this strong, how powerful must his captain have been?"
...
The New World Wang Zhi looked at the sky screen and couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"It's been a long time, Captain Rocks."
...
The entire world was in turmoil because of this man's reappearance. People couldn't help but shift their attention to him, momentarily forgetting about Ace and Roger. However, the sky screen did not follow suit and instead began playing the next scene.
〖A few years older, Ace was brought by Garp to Windmill Village in the East Blue. As soon as they got off the boat, Ace looked around curiously. "Grandpa, is this where you lived when you were little?"〗
The word "Grandpa" from the Ace in the video shocked everyone, pulling their focus back.
[Kaido of the Beasts: Urororororo! Roger's son actually calls Garp 'Grandpa'! This is hilarious!]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! Roger himself would never have imagined this happening!]
[Wang Zhi: Hahahaha! So the question is... if Ace is both Roger's son and Garp's grandson... then what is the relationship between Garp and Roger?]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Zehahahaha! That makes them father and son! Roger is Garp's son!]
[Captain John: So that's how it is! Understood! Hahahaha!]
[Pirate King Gol D. Roger: Garp, you...!]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu! The world is full of interesting things.]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Wait, I just remembered something else! Didn't that Fire Fist Ace refuse to acknowledge Roger as his father earlier, insisting that Whitebeard was his pops? Zehahahaha!]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! So that means Whitebeard is also Garp's son?!]
[Captain John: Hahahaha! The Marine Hero Garp... one son is the former Pirate King Roger, the other is the current Emperor Whitebeard! How incredible!]
On the Whitebeard Pirates' Ship Marco was furious and wanted to argue with the people on the sky screen; the other crew members felt the same. But Whitebeard stopped them.
"Gurararara! Sons, don't worry about such trivial matters. What's more important right now is saving Ace."
"But..." Marco was still unwilling to let it go.
Whitebeard waved his hand, signaling him to stop.
"Enough. Let's keep watching the video. This is Ace's childhood. Don't you want to see if he has any embarrassing secrets to tease him about later?"
"This..."
"Hahaha! I do!"
"Alright, Marco. If Pops doesn't care, don't overthink it. At most, the brothers will go with you later to teach those guys a lesson."
Marco knew they were joking. The people making those comments were either Emperors or legendary pirates; they were far beyond their ability to confront. But being comforted by his brothers made him feel more relaxed.
By now, the video on the sky screen had reached the part where Garp took Ace to meet the bandit Dadan and Luffy. As soon as the two boys met, Luffy declared his dream of becoming the Pirate King.
[Buggy the Clown: Oh my god! The Marine Hero's grandson wants to be a pirate?! What kind of terrible parenting is this?!]
[Kizaru Borsalino: Oh my~ It is indeed quite terrifying, Mr. Garp~]
[Gecko Moria: Wait... judging from the video, Straw Hat Luffy isn't the Pirate King's son. So who is his father?]
[Straw Hat Luffy: You mean my dad? He's—]
[Cat Burglar Nami: Luffy! Shut up! If you dare say it, I'll punch you!]
[Straw Hat Luffy: Nami is so scary! I won't say it!]
[Sir Crocodile: It seems Straw Hat's father's identity is also not simple.]
Right after Crocodile's comment, the system posed another question.
["Ding! Question: Who is Monkey D. Luffy's father?"]
["A. Revolutionary Dragon"]
["B. Pirate King Roger"]
["C. Whitebeard Newgate"]
["D. Fleet Admiral Sengoku"]
["Now, the quick-answer round begins."]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Why am I on this list? This is a free point, right?]
[Buggy the Clown: Agreed! All these answers are ridiculous!]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: The answer is pretty obvious... but it's truly unexpected.]
[Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach: The names aren't fully written out... you should be able to tell just from the names.]
[Queen the Plague: So... who got the chance to answer?]
["Ding! The quick-answer round has ended. The contestants who have won the opportunity to answer are: Momousagi, Sugar, Sanji, and King."]
Marine Headquarters, Marineford
Momousagi(Pink Rabbit) was excited to see her name appear. "Mr. Garp! Please tell me, who is your son?" Garp paused for a moment,then uttered a name. Even though she had already guessed, hearing it directly from Garp still shocked Momousagi. She wasn't the only one; all the Marine officers present were equally stunned. Then ,Momousagi began to answer.
[Momousagi: My answer is A, Revolutionary Dragon.]
["Ding! Congratulations to Momousagi for answering correctly. Reward: Shark's Tooth!"]
Just like Garp before, Momousagi felt a sudden surge of power within her. It was as if she had instantly learned a new technique, and she was eager to try it out. Sengoku could see her intention. He also wanted to see the system's power. Although Garp had received a reward earlier, he hadn't used it for certain reasons. Now that Momousagi had also received a reward, it was a perfect opportunity to understand just how powerful the system was.
Therefore, Sengoku signaled for Momousagi to go outside and test it. Momousagi went outside the headquarters and used "Shark's Tooth" on the sea. A fierce sword slash shot towards the sea,splitting the water in two. Not only that, but the very space above the sea seemed on the verge of being torn apart.
Seeing this move, Sengoku and the others were utterly shocked. He directly praised Momousagi,
"Excellent! With this move, we will be even more confident in our battles against pirates!"
"I'm afraid that won't work,"
Momousagi poured cold water on his excitement.
"After using this move, I feel like half my strength is gone. It consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Right now, you could say it's because it's my first time using it. But I feel that even if I practice hard later, I probably won't be able to accomplish much in such a short time."
