POV Garp

As Garp was returning to Foosha on his ship he came across that Red Haired brat in Paradise, it seemed Garps decision to travel Grandline instead of Calm Belt was a lucky one. With his mind on Luffy, Garp was pissed at Shanks more than ever, the grandson corrupting brat, was within Garps reach so Garp chased him around and clashed with with the brat for a month and broke his ribs while Garp was at it. While the brat did give Garp new scars before escaping Garp decided he won this round, after all broken ribs are better than flesh wounds.

Garp wouldn't have been as pissed at the Red Haired little shit if hadn't given Luffy that damned Straw Hat. Oh, Garp knew that Straw Hat alright, how could Garp forget, Roger was damn near obsessed with it, going on and on about how it was his treasure, whenever Garp and Roger weren't beating the shit outta each other, good times, the day when Roger gave that damned hat to Shanks everyone who knew anything about Roger knew what it meant, Roger was declaring that Shanks was his favoured successor, for anyone concerned it was a damn near Crowning Ceremony for Rogers heir. And the fucking brat had given that damned hat to Luffy.

True, most of the world forgot about that stupid fucking hat, but not all of it, the most dangerous ones didn't, while many talked about Shanks missing arm after the brat came back from his vacation and started his ascension to Yonko, Sengoku, Kong and Elder Stars talked about the significance of Shanks missing Straw Hat, wondered whether like his Old Captain Roger who gave the hat to Shanks before his quest for One Piece, Shanks too gave the hat to his chosen successor before ascending to Yonko.

That fucking Red Haired brat painted a target on Luffy's head when he gave Luffy that fucking Hat, the first time Garp saw that damned Hat on Luffy's head Garp wanted to set in on fire and be done with it. But Garp couldn't, his dumb and adorable Grandson loved that stupid hat. Garp hoped since the fucking hat is so old and made of straw it will atleast fall apart due to time and accidental damage with a rumbuctuous little boy, but nooo, the fucking hat is more durable than it looked and Luffy is more careful with it than anything else. The fucking hat is probably infused with its previous owners Haki over the years, they certainly loved it enough. So someone would have to deliberately damage it to destroy the hat, but Garp didn't have the heart to hurt his lovable grandson so, so Garp let it be.

Anyway, once Luffy became known to the world, those in the know will recognise that fucking hat and understand the significance of Luffy having it on his head, they will know Shanks crowned Luffy as heir to Rogers and Shanks own legacy and that will put Luffy in more danger than he already is. Pah, I let that fucking Red Haired brat off too easy, I should have atleast broken more of his ribs and a leg or two for putting Luffy in danger and stealing Makinos heart and skipping town on her for a decade.Well atleast chasing the brat around will get Senny off my back and stop the Old Fogies whining about Garp not doing his job for awhile and Garp can claim he is more wounded than he is and take a longer vacation. So Garp can spend more bonding time with his cute little Grandson.


Somewhere in Jungles of Goa

Luffy felt a shudder travel down his spine and started looking around frantically.
