Chapter 585

"Welcome Lieutenant General Karp"

The terrifying realm of sea kings, a large submarine prison buried deep in the sea, known as the prison of the world hell.

A large group of naval soldiers, led by Magellan, the Warden of the Undersea Warden, and Hannibal, the Deputy Warden, came out to welcome Lieutenant General Garp.

On the dog-headed warship, Garp followed Kebi and Hrummeber, who had become lieutenants, and came in front of Magellan after passing in front of the welcoming navy.

Facing Lieutenant General Garp, Magellan respectfully said: "Lieutenant General Garp, with the permission of Marshal Sengoku, you can meet Fire Fist Ace alone, we have prepared the room."

A high-ranking naval officer who has passed through the age of great voyages, but a witness of the Garp era. Back then, Garp was a legend in the navy, and countless pirates had nightmares.

It is precisely because of the existence of strong people like Karp that the navy can stand in the dark age of the great voyage and protect the justice of the navy. This is the treatment that Karp should accept.

Nodding his head, Garp stepped into the big prison, "No, I'm just saying something, I don't need any special room, just go to the sixth floor."

As Garp entered, Magellan and other submarine prisons led them, and then walked into the prison, leaving teams of navy guards outside.

Through the elevator, Garp walked all the way, without seeing the usual smile on his face, only a serious face.

The elevator door opened, and Karp stepped out. Magellan and others did not follow. Everyone knew about the relationship between Lieutenant General Garp and Fire Fist Ace. This was a rare time for their grandson and grandson to talk.

Stepping into the sixth floor, it is also the most important floor of the entire submarine prison. Compared with the upper five floors, the silence here is terrifying.

Because the prisoners here are all extremely dangerous existences for the Navy Headquarters, and arresting these people back then wasted a lot of the Navy's strength.

Normally, except for the prison guards who delivered meals, no one came here on the sixth floor at all. Many prisoners have been in this dark cell for decades.

The sound of steady footsteps resounded throughout the sixth floor of the large submarine prison, and many strong men on the sixth floor who closed their eyes and meditated, opened their eyes at that moment.

It is not a strange thing for someone to come. After all, there are people delivering food here every day, but they can all feel that the person who arrives is a strong person.

The aura of this strong man does not belong to Magellan, but the aura it emits is much stronger than that of Magellan.

"Karp, you old guy is still alive!"

Walking through the long corridor and passing the door of a prison cell, a strange aura suddenly emanated from it, mixed with frightening darkness.

Hearing the yelling to himself, Garp stopped suddenly, squinted at the prison cell, and said lightly: "Red Earl, you haven't died in the big prison yet, how could I die."

I saw a man in the cell wearing a red cloak, with two clear blood-like traces on his face, he must be another strong man who dominated the great route back then.

It's a pity that he was still caught by the navy, and the two hard sea tower stone chains were firmly fixed on the red earl's shoulders.

Opening his eyes slowly, the red earl said: "Garp, I didn't expect to see you, an old guy,

In that battle, you sent me to the big prison and let me stay there for more than ten years."

Looking away from the red earl, Garp stepped out and said at the same time: "This era has changed, and it is the best choice for you to stay here."

Not just the red earl, along the way, Garp at least met many powerful pirates who woke up and greeted Garp.

Most of them were defeated by Garp, and then sent to the big prison, where they stayed until now, and some of them had a lot of hatred with Garp.

Ignoring these people, Karp came directly to a prison cell, stopped his progress, and looked at the figure in the cell that was tightly imprisoned on the ground by the sea tower stone chains.

Sensing that someone was coming, the figure did not raise his head, but lowered his head and said, "Smelly old man, you are here!"

The quiet sixth floor became noisy because of Garp's arrival. How could the figure not know of Garp's arrival, and at the same time understand that Garp came here to find himself.

"Ace, you brat!" Looking at the decadent figure in the cell, Garp cursed as always.

It's just that there is no such anger and teaching in the words, but only a kind of helplessness and heart tiredness.

Raising his head, Ace looked at Garp with his haggard cheeks, and said with a faint smile, "Smelly old man, you still scold us as always when you open your mouth."

"Just like back then, the first thing Luffy and I heard every time was that you called me a stinky boy, and then you beat us up hard, and wanted us to become navy, but we both became pirates."

Speaking of Luffy, Ace showed a heartfelt smile on his face, "I heard that Luffy not only solved Crocodile, but also defeated CP9's Lu Qi, and the kid who caused trouble gradually became famous up".

"Ace, don't you really know?" Garp's silent voice sounded, it was indeed a question, "Luffy is like you, the more famous you are, the easier it is for the navy to top you, maybe one day, Luffy will be like you."

Shaking his head, Ace said firmly: "No, Luffy is the man who became the One Piece, how could he be caught by the navy."

"Old man, do you know? Both of us went to sea with the goal of becoming pirates, but our starting point is indeed different."

"Luffy wants to be the freest existence on the sea and experience all kinds of interesting adventures, but I want to walk on that man's path. I want to see that part of the road, there is really a kind of life that is enough for him to abandon his family. Is there a reason?"

When it comes to that man, Ace no longer has the excitement, anger, and hatred that he showed so easily when he was young, but only calm.

Pursing his lips, Karp asked, "In the end, did you find the answer you needed?"

"No", lowering his head, Ace did not find the answer when he went to sea, but suddenly changed the subject, "However, I found a real family relationship, one that allows me to experience the feeling of family."

"Family love?" There was a soft murmur in his mouth, and Garp had the feeling that he always understood.

Regarding this grandson, Garp has always understood in his heart. When he was young, he heard countless people around him tell him that his father was a big villain, and Ace was considered by the village to be the culprit who killed his own mother. What he lacked in his heart was a Very real affection.

After a pause, Ace continued: "Dad gave me responsibilities and things that man never gave. For me, I only have one dad."

This time, Garp didn't speak, but opened the cell door, walked in, came to Ace, looked down at Ace, raised his palm and slapped him down mercilessly.

Snapped!

Loud applause echoed throughout the prison cell. Looking at Ace with blood on the corner of his mouth, Garp cursed angrily: "You know what? Twenty years ago, that man was also in the cell on the first floor, the only thing that man asked me to do One thing is to let me help you to be born into this world safely."

"Really?" Ace let out a disdain, looked up at Garp, and shouted excitedly: "But where was that man when I was born, where was that man when my mother died, when I I can only watch countless people my age return home, but I don’t even have a basic home, so where is he?”

As if he had finished venting his anger, Ace's tone slowly relaxed, "Actually, sometimes, I envy Luffy very much. Although he doesn't know who his parents are, he has countless people who care about him in Windmill Village."

Hearing this, Karp slapped him angrily, but he no longer had the strength to slap him anymore.

Why!

Sighing deeply, Garp sat down cross-legged, and said slowly: "You know, when your mother endured twenty months to give birth to you in order to save you from being captured by the navy."

"During that time, I often observed your mother secretly. She was a terrible woman and mother. She delayed your birth for ten months. It was a miracle."

"Back then, when she handed you over to me, in addition to asking me to take care of you, she also asked me to let you understand that he is a real father! But now it seems that I haven't done a good job."

Hearing this, the excited Ace quieted down and remained silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Smelly old man, you did nothing wrong, you did a good job, but I only have one father, and that is Whitebeard!"

Silence, the cell suddenly fell into a strange silence, neither of the father and son spoke, just remained silent like this.

Until the last Garp came out of this silence, clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, even a man like Garp would tremble.

It is conceivable how Garp struggled in his heart at this time, "Why? Ace, why can't you just follow what I said and become pirates? Why?"

Looking at the trembling old man with his head bowed in front of him, Ace could vaguely see a gleam of light appearing in the corner of the old man's eyes, struggle, remorse, and pain all appeared together on the face of the old man who had experienced countless years of vicissitudes.

Ace suddenly understood at this moment that the old man in front of him was facing a choice of how to struggle. On the one hand, his grandson was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he insisted on the justice and belief of the navy. Why should this old man who should rest bear the burden? .

"Ace, you know, there are countless people in this world who worry about you. Now that you are caught by the navy, how many people will be affected, and how many will go on the road to rescue you without hesitation."

"Your mother used her life to let you land in this world. Lin Tian told me that he stopped you in Alabasta. Why don't you cherish your life and why do you want to go?"

For more than ten years, Ace felt that it was the first time for him to look at Karp so closely and quietly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Ace propped his hands up from the ground, knelt down slowly, and kowtowed his head to Garp who was sitting in front of him.

"Sorry...Grandpa!" (To be continued.)
