Eight Hundred Pirate Kings

“Ah, you are?” Young Shanks looked in the direction calling his name, but what caught his eye was a woman with light green hair and a turban on her head. However, Shanks did not recognize this Makino who called his name.

“Ah, you’re not Shanks? Sorry, I got the wrong person.”

After yelling Shanks’s name, Makino felt a bit silly. The kid was way too young compared to the real Shanks.

Shanks carefully observed the other party again, put his right hand on his chin, and thought hard about her. After confirming that there was no such person in his memory, Shanks replied, “I admit it, I’m Shanks. But I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”

“That’s…”

Makino had already acquiesced that the other party was not Shanks, but the other party suddenly admitted that after a while. Makino didn’t know how to respond.

At this time, Wexford walked to the side of Garp and said to Makino, who was carrying a basket in her left hand, “Actually, they just look very similar. Sometimes, the world just feels so small, right?”

Although Wexford said so, the village chief, Slap, still frowned and looked at Shanks. Although the person’s height and age are a bit wrong, they look too similar.

“Anyway, let’s go see that boy Luffy first.” Garp didn’t care about the identity matter. He wanted to see what Luffy in this world looked like.

“Yes, let’s go see Luffy with Mr. Garp.”

….

After several years of visits, Makino is already very familiar with Dadan’s Bandit House location.

During the visits all the year-round, the real Garp had already known that Makino and Slap were feeding Luffy and Ace. That’s why Makino dared to mention going to Dadan’s bandit house together in front of this Garp.

“Buggy, you go too.”

In order to prevent Buggy from running away with the boat, Wexford held hostage the captain of the pirate group.

Buggy, who had already made up his mind to run away, was told by Wexford. His hope of leaving had all been diminished. “Seriously? Do I have to follow along?”

“Of course.”

After Wexford nodded in response, he moved his leg to follow Makino and the others and said to Shanks behind him as he walked, “Shanks, take care of your friend. Don’t let him be left behind.”

“Yes, Captain Wexford.”

The command of the young Shanks’ own captain was carried out unconditionally. After Wexford finished speaking, he kept his eyes on Buggy, his former crewmate.

‘You impostor.’

Buggy had never believed in Shanks’s identity. After all, this Shanks was too far apart from the Shanks he knew well.

“Buggy, I’ll return it to you when I find the treasure map.” Shanks saw Buggy staring at him unhappily all the way, thinking that Buggy was complaining that he had lost his treasure map.

“How do you know…?”

It’s normal to know that Buggy likes treasures, but basically, no one knew except Shanks that Buggy lost his treasure map.

Shanks smiled slightly. He could only pat Buggy’s arm because he was not tall enough, “We are friends.”

Buggy was stunned by Shanks’ words.

‘Is it possible that this guy is really Shanks?’

However, Shanks had already gone to the New World, and he couldn’t be this young.

‘Two days ago, I saw Shanks in the newspaper, who was already known as the Four Emperors.’

Thinking of this, Buggy lowered his head and leaned over to Shanks and said, “Who are ya?”

“You’re kidding? You still think I’m fake?” Shanks gave Buggy a blank look and quickly followed Wexford and Garp ahead.

Shanks’ answer made Buggy wonder for a while, ‘What the hell is going on with this world? Is the problem me or this Shanks?’

Buggy’s thinking did not last long because as soon as he stopped walking, the Shanks in front of him had already called out his name loudly.

In order not to be beaten up by Garp, Buggy could only follow him quickly.

…

" "

Mount Colubo from Windmill Village is not very far away. It didn’t take long for everyone to see the outside of the Dadan bandit house.

“LUFFY! ACE!”

As soon as they arrived outside the Dadan Bandit Stronghold, Makino shouted the names of Ace and Luffy.

Maybe Makino had already agreed with these two little guys to come every week. After hearing Makino’s voice, the two of them rushed straight out of the woods next to them.

“Haha! I was right-”

Luffy jumped in the air and laughed. He seemed to be happy for guessing right. But his happiness did not last long. Before he landed, he glanced at a familiar figure, which acted like a freezing spell. It made Luffy froze at the first moment when he appeared. He fell straight to the ground.

Before he finished speaking, Luffy fell directly in front of Garp and looked at the white-haired elderly Garp with his mouth wide open, “Master… Grandpa…”

BAM!

When Luffy was in a daze, the elderly Garp, like the Hero of the Marines of this world, punched Luffy in the head.

“Ah! Why did you hit me!” Luffy hugged his head and rolled on the ground.

Compared to the somewhat comedic Luffy, Ace landed steadily on the ground, staring coldly at Wexford, Shanks, and others in the Group.

“You kids were just playing.” Garp saw Luffy was still rolling on the ground. He no longer wanted to continue giving his grandson the Fist of Love anymore. “Get up! I can see you’re just overreacting.”

Although Luffy was born smoothly in the world of the Pirate King Garp, the Pirate King Garp’s grandson did not join his own Pirate Group, but instead, he went to the Revolutionary Army with his father, Dragon. Although Dragon could one day overrule the World Nobles, Garp still wanted Luffy to stay on his pirate ship.

“Who is that again?”

After Luffy stood up from the ground holding his head, Garp also saw Ace coming out with Luffy. But this version of Garp didn’t know about Portgas D. Rouge, let alone her son, Ace.

Regarding Garp’s question, Makino said in a puzzled manner, “Mr. Garp, that’s Ace.”

“Ace?”

Garp frowned. He tried remembering the name; where he seemed to have heard it. But before Garp remembered who Ace really was, Curly Dadan rushed out of the Dadan bandit stronghold and arrived in front of Garp, “Mr. Garp! You’re here!”
