CH 3
"Dadan."
Dadan is extremely confused. Those kids had already stayed in her family for more than 3 months, but to be honest...there's something weird about them. Okay, Ace and Sabo are childhood friends so it's not strange for them to know each other but what about Luffy?
"Oi, Dadan!"
The whole family never expect that the fierce Ace will change drastically since Luffy arrived. For fucking sake, all three of them act like they have known each other for more than 10 years. And for some reasons that Dadan herself can't comprehend, there are strange auras around them like they are adults or something.
"Dadan! Hello?"
And even worse, Ace, yes, that wild and fierce Ace, had turned into a gentleman! What is happening?!
"DADAN! Do you hear me?!"
Dadan returns to earth quickly as she heard a loud shouting and the familiar voice shocking her out. Slowly she turns to her left and fairly shocked to see Garp next to her. The old man looks furious by the way. "Ahhh! Garp! You came?!" she screams her lung out.
"What the hell are you dozing for? You didn't even realize when I call you!" said Garp but then he realizes that Dadan seems to be thinking about something. "So, what happened? You look like a lost dog, you know?"
Dadan tries to consider whether she should tell Garp about this or not. But again, Garp is those kid's grandpa and the only family they have so he might know something. "Hmm...There's always something in my mind since Luffy came here..."
"Hm?" Garp asks, curious.
"Luffy...that pipsqueak... Is he always that strong?"
Thinking that nothing extraordinary about that, Garp laughs. "Oh, really? He may be stronger than kids with his age but he still have long way to go! He still can't beat a monkey!" But it is contradict with what Dadan see before.
"No! You don't understand! He can hunt giant animals like a blinking of eyes! So do Ace, and another boy which they call him brother! Isn't its weird? I mean that time it supposed to be the first time for Ace and Luffy to meet but the way they talk, their gestures, their affections...like they have been friends for years! Plus, the biggest change that I saw in Ace...what? Since when he is such a gentleman?! He is supposed to be rude and fierce, what happened that made him change that much?! Ah, one more thing, all three of them, sometimes act like they are 40 or something, especially Luffy," Dadan had made decision to spills everything since Garp might know what is happening but it seems like she is wrong as Garp too, looks surprised from the story.
"Wow, I don't know what are you talking about but it might be worth to test them out. They might be a strong candidates for marine!" And with that, Garp disappears as he retreats towards the forest.
Okay, this is really weird. Dadan's story isn't making any sense at all! How both Ace and Luffy manage to hunt giant animals? Now where are his cute grandchildren? For a little bit of surprise, he conceals his haki to sneak on them but enough to detect them but as he goes deeper into the forest, an enormous of haki clashing to each other are overflowing all over the forest. Even wild beasts are hiding as all of them are afraid with those giant haki.
Garp is really shocked. There are three of them. Don't tell that it was them. But how?! This level of haki are more than enough for New World standard! Impossible, impossible, impossible... Slowly, he sneaks throughout the bushes. The closer he get, the stronger the sensation. Garp starts to get nervous. Only Roger or Sengoku or he have this kind of haki. And finally...
Clang!
Garp widens his eyes. A clash between two pipes and a fist can be seen clearly. However, what shocking him is the black metallic coat on those weapons and fist which no doubt are the Armament haki. How the hell those three brats manage to use it?!
Tump! The battle is so intense to the point the whole forest is shaking. It's no doubt that they can do more but limiting themselves to avoid attention. Suddenly the youngest of them stops. Huh?
"Damn, 200 already? I want to spar more!" The seven years old boy grumps with dissatisfaction.
"No, Luffy! We had promised that the sparring had increased to only 200 because we had become stronger! Plus, we have a lot to catch up, Luffy!" said Ace. "I need to master Conqueror haki too!"
The statement is definitely a shock to Garp. Ace have Conqueror haki?! Where did they even learnt that words?! They never left East Blue before, so how?
Can't stand being left out, Garp roars in anger, shocking the boys. "How dare you ignore your beloved grandpa?!"
"Gyaaa! Grandpa alert!"
All three of them have been tied at the tree with kairouseki lock so that they can no longer move especially Luffy.
"Damn you old man! How could you use Kairouseki on us! Luffy is already half dead and wiggling like a snake because of it!" Ace screams in anger. For fucking sake, who lock children using kairouseki anyway?!
"Oh, how do you know about it?" Garp glares at them and shittt, Ace just realized that he just said something suspicious. Big mouth, Ace! Big mouth!
"What a big mouth. Like grandpa, like grandkid," said Sabo in low tone, sweating all over. Think about it, it must be because of their haki that Garp managed to find them. Isn't it always like that? Oh shit...
"Eh...it's..." Ace can't find any excuse until Luffy cuts him.
"Because we are from 33 years in the future!" Luffy screams his lung out until he realized everyone is looking at him. "Oh, I shouldn't say it? Forget it, forget it!"
"You... Idiot!" Ace and Sabo shout in unison. If their hands are free, they definitely hit him with the hardest armament ever.
"Okay, what's with that 33 years in future?" Garp is eating pasta at Party Bar while his grandsons are eating meat.
"You won't want to know, grandpa. Worst future ever!" Luffy replies, meat is still in his mouth.
"Oh, what would happen?" Garp asks, not expecting the next answer.
"Haa...Ace died in war with marine, Sabo died being killed by the same person who killed Ace in war and I have to die slowly because of illness..." Garp spills his pasta as he is too shocked with the answer.
"War with marine?! Are you a pirate, Luffy?!" Garp screams his lung out.
"Pirate King!" Both Ace and Sabo said in unison while pointing at Luffy, only realizing that Garp is already collapsed, with foams in his mouth. "Huh?"
"Grandpa!"
"Now, now Garp-san. You should sleep. Everything is just a nightmare!" Makino gently laughs. Garp currently is having a fever because of the shock.
"Ace! Sabo! Luffy! Don't...be...a...pirate!" he whines in sleep.
Makino who is clueless since she didn't hear their conversation is wondering what could have made Garp into this kind of state. It must be a terrible shock to him.
Meanwhile, outside Party Bar, the three brothers once again gather for another emergency ASL meeting.
"Shit! Now gramps already know! What should we do?" Sabo starts the conversation.
"Hmm..." Everyone is thinking until Luffy voices a very 'good' idea.
"Why don't we hypnotize him and make him thinks that everything is just a nightmare?"
...
For a first time, both Ace and Sabo respects Luffy for his weird intelligence.
"Are you sure it will work?" Ace asks as Luffy shakes a pendulum made by a tree branch in front of their sleeping grandpa.
"Of course, now wake him up! He's still having fever so it's impossible for him to tell!" said Luffy in confident.
Slowly, Ace and Sabo try to wake their grandpa up, and their effort works as the old man slightly opens his eyes and automatically saw the pendulum.
"Grandpa, hear us? Everything is just a nightmare. Now sleep well...ops!" Suddenly something happens, shocking all three of them. Garp's condition is even worse than before.
"What's wrong, Luffy?!" Ace asks, starts to get worried. However, the youngest boy only grin.
"Sorry! I accidentally flows in a little bit of my Conqueror haki and it seems like he's seeing my past. Oh shit! I hope he didn't see the part where I time travelled!" said Luffy as he rubs his own hair, messing it around. Both of his older brothers are speechless for a few seconds, too amazed with their little brother's antic. Yes, until a realization hit them.
...
"Luffy you idiot!"
