Chapter 103: Arc 8: The Strongest Family Lineage? Luffy's Father Revealed

Two days later back in Water 7...

"What was that?" Franky winced when Garp punched the wall of the Straw Hats resting quarters.

"Who is there?" Chopper shielded his eyes.

"Is that you guys?" Garp demanded. "The Straw Hat crew? There are a few people Monkey D. Luffy should meet."

"Marines." Franky frowned.

"What do you know?" Garp snorted, spotting the snoring Luffy at the dining table. "Just like old times. There's no helping him." shooting past Sanji and Franky, he headed towards his grandson. "Wake up!" he slammed a fist onto Luffy's face.

"That hurt!" Luffy whined.

"What are you saying?" Sanji was puzzled. "You are rubber. How could that hurt?"

"A punch of love that couldn't be stopped, huh?" Garp joked, removing his dog hat. "You've made quite a mess now, you two."

"Hi, grandpa." Sasha looked up from the medical journal she was reading. "You never change, do you?"

"EH?" everyone else exclaimed.

"The Marine Vice Admiral is your grandpa?" Chopper echoed in shock.

"Now, you two." Garp addressed his grandchildren. "Don't you think you owe me an apology?"

"Vice Admiral Garp has grandchildren?" one of the Marines from Garp's squad looked at his neighbor.

"Garp?" Nami echoed. "Isn't that the name of that Marine hero?

"Luffy, Sasha, is your grandpa really..." Sanji gaped.

"He is." Luffy confirmed. "Don't try to fight him. I was almost killed by grandpa tons of times in the past."

"Hey now, don't go speaking ill of me." Garp chided. "When I tossed you into that bottomless ravine."

"He was five!" Sasha interjected.

"And left you alone in the jungle at night." Garp ignored her.

"That was half a year later!" Sasha shouted.

"And tied you to balloons and sent you flying into the sky." Garp continued, unfazed.

"Aniki just turned six at that time!" Sasha protested.

"All of it was to make you into a strong man." Garp declared.

"I think I've seen part of what gave Luffy his endless will to live." Sanji noted.

"In the end, I left you and Sasha with a close friend to continue your training with Ace." Garp continued. "And while you two were out of my sight, this has happened. I did all that to forge you into a strong Marine!"

"I always told you that I wanted to be a pirate, didn't I?" Luffy argued.

"You were corrupted by that 'Red-Hair'." Garp accused. "It's nonsense!"

"I owe my life to Shanks!" Luffy snapped. "Don't insult him!"

"Do you mean to tell your own grandpa what to do?" Garp hoisted his grandson up.

"ASLEEP?" Sanji, Chopper and Franky exclaimed when Garp and Luffy dozed on in the midst of their shouting match.

"Not again..." Sasha moaned.

"Oh no, I fell asleep." Garp awoke himself. "Wake up, Luffy!" he slammed another punch on Luffy's face. "Is this how you act towards someone scolding you? First of all, where do you get off talking like that to your grandpa? Do you even know what level of pirate that 'Red-Hair' you keep talking about is?" he questioned.

"Shanks?" Luffy echoed. "And the guys? Are Shanks and the others doing alright? Where are they?"

"Whether they're fine or not, with as many pirates out there as there are stars, like Whitebeard, he is one of the four great pirates." Garp declared. "Those who rule over the latter half of the Grand Line as if they were emperors. We call them the Yonko. In order to reign in these four men, the Marine Headquarters and the Shichibukai were assembled. These great powers form a delicate balance that keeps peace around the world from crumbling."

"I don't really get it, but if he's fine, then okay." Luffy nodded. "This brings back memories." he looked at his straw hat.

"What is his connection with Red-Hair?" Robin asked.

"Luffy said that he asked him to take care of that straw hat for him." Nami replied. "I didn't know he was such an amazing person."

"What is it?" Garp turned when he heard the commotion outside, Zoro having arrived at the building and was cutting his way through the Marine battalion. "Luffy's nakama, right? He seems to be pretty tough. You two, try and stop him."

"Yes sir!" Coby and Helmeppo ran out to deal with Zoro.

"Really, you're no match at all." Garp laughed after Coby and Helmeppo were easily subdued by Luffy and Zoro respectively.

"By the way, Luffy." Garp started as he set to work to repair the wall he broke in. "I heard you met your old man."

"Dad?" Luffy echoed.

"What's that?" Garp chuckled. "He didn't introduce himself to you then? I heard he saw you off at Lougetown."

"What is my dad like?" Luffy gaped.

"The name of your father is Monkey D. Dragon." Garp revealed. "He's a Revolutionary."

"Guys, why is everyone so..." Luffy turned to his crew after hearing the astonished gasps from the Marines outside.

"Idiot!" Sanji exclaimed. "You don't know Dragon's name?"

"Your father is a completely outrageous person!" Nami shouted.

"Robin..." Luffy turned to the archaeologist.

"How should I explain this..." Robin mused. "Pirates wouldn't normally try by themselves to disrupt the Government or the Marines. But there is currently a power that is trying directly to oppose the World Government. That would mean the Revolutionary Army, and the man at its center would be Dragon. Right now, throughout the world, this kind of though is being spread: encouraging countries to overthrow their monarchies. Countless countries have already fallen. As expected, the World Government was upset, and has labeled the puppet master, Dragon, the most dangerous criminal in the world. They have been constantly pursuing him, but they couldn't find a trace of where he had came from. He was a mysterious man. And yet..."

"I probably shouldn't have said all that." Garp realized. "Then, forget all that."

"Grandpa, give me a break." Sasha sighed, wondering not for the first time, why on Earth was she reborn in such a crazy family.
