I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Who is Kos?

A time traveler who was both lucky and unlucky, the unlucky guy who almost died on the street at the beginning of the time travel;

A confused person who is not quite sure what he wants, easily sets goals but does not necessarily follow them through;

A weirdo who makes it hard to tell whether he is cruel or kind-hearted...

But Cos understood that what Garp wanted to know was whether he had any bad intentions, so his answer was:

"I am Ace's traveler and his partner, that's all."

Listening to Kos's answer, Garp said nothing, then he looked at Ace,

"Ace, do you think he's trustworthy?"

"Of course! Because he is my partner!"

Ace answered without any hesitation.

"That's it!"

Garp's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"It would be better for a fool like you to have a smart person around you."

"Smelly old man, who are you calling a fool?"

Ashton immediately shouted at him with anger, while Garp picked his nose indifferently.

"Is it over?"

Michal, who had been insignificant since just now, put away his gun and leaned over.

Even Garp showed a slightly surprised expression, as if he had just noticed that there was a fourth person in the port.

In Kos's words, Michal is the kind of teacher who divides five apples between four children and him. Then the teacher will first give the other four children an apple, and then use a knife to divide the fifth apple into four equal parts. To the other four children.

It cannot be said that there is no sense of presence, it can only be said that the breath blocking skill point is relatively high.

"what is happening?"

Although Ace and Garp roughly guessed their relationship from the names they called each other, the fact that the two men were a marine and a pirate, as well as their strange communication methods, still made Michal exclaimed that he couldn't understand and was extremely shocked.

And Kosna's Riddler-like half-day content also made Michal confused.

"As you said, our captain is a rebellious young man who went to sea to become a pirate because he was dissatisfied with my grandfather's arrangements. Then he was caught red-handed. I seemed to be punched as an instigator."

As he said that, Kos touched his chest. Although one or two ribs should not be broken, the injury should not heal in a few days.

But the punch he received was not in vain. The brief conflict with Garp was not even a fight, but he still gave him ten golden advanced skill materials as if to say "you are brave" ( Armed color).

This sudden high-level skill material means that as long as Kos accumulates enough experience materials worth a total of 10,000, he can directly learn Armament Haki.

Ten thousand experience points may have been a bit out of reach for Kos a few months ago, but now it seems that it is not an unattainable goal.

The experience materials that Kos still has in hand can provide more than two thousand experience points, which is enough for him to advance to several levels.

However, he does not plan to continue to upgrade his level. Firstly, the amount of materials dropped will decrease as the level increases. Secondly, now that he has more ways to improve his strength than just increasing his level, he needs to start calculating carefully.

The experience of playing many development games tells him that in many cases, level improvement does not cost a lot of money. What really consumes a lot of resources is the improvement of skill level.

At the same time, often the improvement brought by improving a skill by one level is far greater than the improvement of several levels.

At least based on Kos's own experience, regardless of the weak sea water, Bucky, who possesses Devil Fruit abilities and level one two-color domineering power, may not be easier to deal with than Aaron.

"What is Ace's identity?"

Although it looks like CP0

Michal didn't understand terms like CP1 and Im, but he still heard the three words "Dragon Man" clearly, so he understood that Ace's identity was by no means a simple naval family member.

"Well...it's better that you don't know this."

Kos said perfunctorily.

He was sure that Ace would reveal his identity soon after Michal joined, but he believed that he still did not have the right to tell others about Ace's identity.

"Oh."

Michal nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Like his sense of presence, Michal's curiosity is also horribly low. If others tell him not to ask, he really won't continue to inquire.

While the two were talking, the confrontation between Ace and Garp also came to an end.

"No matter what, grandpa, you have to apologize to Kos!"

Ace, who had been beaten all over his head by Garp, still stubbornly insisted on his request.

"Good good."

Garp, who grabbed Ace by the collar and beat him, finally let go of his useless grandson and walked step by step in front of Kos.

Looking at the bear-like old man approaching in front of him, the pain in Kos's chest seemed to be getting stronger.

But this time, there was no hostility in Garp. When he came to Kos, he made a standard ninety-degree bow without saying a word.

"I'm really sorry!"

"Hey! That, no, no need."

According to etiquette, Cos should help Garp up at this time, but looking at his forged steel muscles, Cos was a little doubtful that he could break Garp's figure at all.

However, there was no need for Kos to help him up. Garp quickly stood up and got closer to Kos, patted his shoulder very hard and laughed.

Each slap made Kos suspect that Garp still didn't trust him, but because Ace couldn't attack directly here, he could only take the opportunity of saying hello and getting close to slap him to pieces.

So when Garp slapped his fourth palm, Kos dodged to avoid Garp's right palm, which was much larger than a bear's paw, and then looked at Ace with sympathy. I really don't know how he got out of the way. How can such a big thing grow in the hands of a grandfather who doesn't know how to control his strength?

But he soon noticed other changes besides Ace's face that was swollen like a pig's head - his armed color Haki increased from LV2 to LV3.

"Did you really see it? Your knowledge and appearance are indeed good."

After noticing Kos' brief pause, Garp smiled and nodded.

"My 'Iron Fist of Love' is more than just good-looking."

Cos didn't intend to explain Garp's misunderstanding about him. After all, the ability to see other people's levels and skills can indeed be regarded as a specialized version of the Haki of Insight.

Then he wanted to complain, "This 'Iron Fist of Love' isn't that good at all!", but then he was more shocked by Garp's Spartan training method.

I thought that the "bungee jumping without insurance", "walking with wild beasts" and "walking alone in the wilderness" training methods shown in Luffy's memories were outrageous enough, but I didn't expect that the old man thought this was not enough, and actually went on to play one-on-one on his own. Teaching armed color domineering.

Garp's teaching principle may be similar to the principle of how top swordsmen refine black swords. Through long-term training of armed color haki, Luffy and Ace can unknowingly master the most basic level of armed color haki.

Kos felt that he had made a mistake just now. It was not that Garp didn't know how to control his strength, otherwise Ace and Luffy would have been killed by his armed and domineering fists.

"That idiot Ace will have to take more care of him from now on."

Garp suddenly turned serious, his attitude completely apathetic.

Kosi quickly waved his hand and said: "Where, where."

"Doesn't my own grandson understand? This kid Ace, like his bastard father, is just like me when I was young. It's easy for him to die of stupidity if no one holds him back."

Garp showed a slightly nostalgic expression, seeming to be recalling his time when he was young.

Kos suspected that Garp was taking advantage of Roger, but he had no proof.

However, he didn't have much objection to Garp's evaluation of Ace. The most obvious thing was that in the original plot, he pursued Blackbeard regardless of dissuasion. During that period, he not only followed Blackbeard around without any plan, but also once broke into the naval base. Before that, he was chased while eating a King meal and fell into the river, almost saying goodbye to this beautiful world in advance. goodbye.

Kos's ideal captain should be the kind of calm and rational one who plans everything by himself, and the crew below only needs to follow his arrangements and fish from time to time.

It's a pity that he only met a second-rate captain like Ace, who was supposed to be an alien, but was actually normal in this world. A person like him didn't care about anything as long as his blood got the best of him.

So I can only try my best to keep him from letting himself go too far.

So Cos finally sighed helplessly and said:

"I try my best."

"The Gray Pearl is back!"

Ace's voice of surprise came from the side. Kos looked at the sea and found that the Gray Pearl had indeed returned, but next to her there was a naval warship with a dog's head.

It seems that not only the three people on the shore, but also Deus who went out to sea alone was stopped. If the person who came was not Garp, then the Spade Pirates really died before they left, and they did not enter the great world. The whole army was wiped out along the route, and among them, Michal, who had just joined the group at the front, was simply the top enemy who joined the Fruit Army in 49.

When Garp's warship docked, a navy man wearing a taupe suit under a white navy coat and a top hat of the same color disembarked first.

After seeing that Kos and others did not look like they were surrendering, the suit navy looked at Garp in confusion.

"Mr. Karp, what's the matter?"

"what……"

Garp touched the back of his head in embarrassment, then let out a hearty laugh and said,

"I'm not going to catch them."

"Mr. Karp!"

The suit marine's voice rose several times. Apparently he didn't quite understand that Garp volunteered to arrest the Spade Pirates and then decided not to arrest him. However, out of respect for Garp, he didn't really want to have an attack.

"Bogarde, just let me do whatever I want for once, okay?"

Garp looked at the navy suit with a slightly pleading tone.

"How many times have you been willful?"

Bogarde shook his head helplessly. This was not the first time he had met Garp, and he understood that this naval hero was actually a willful old kid more often than not.

"But you have to give me a reason!"

Garp hesitated for a moment, then pulled Ace into his arms and ruffled his hair wantonly.

"Because this little bastard is my grandson."

"Smelly old man, don't touch my head casually!"

Ace struggled desperately, but in the end it was all in vain.

"hiss--"

Bogarde immediately took a breath. The grandson of a naval hero became a pirate. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will have an immeasurable impact on the reputation of the navy.

And he quickly realized that if Ace was really arrested one day, it might be a matter of debate whether Garp, the hero of the navy, would still be wearing justice.

When he thought of this, Bogard felt an unbearable stomachache, but fortunately, as Garp's deputy, he had the habit of carrying stomach medicine with him, so he immediately took out a bottle of stomach medicine from his arms and poured it into his mouth "tons, tons, tons".

After finishing a bottle of stomach medicine, Bogarde's mood finally stabilized. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you have made your decision, I have nothing to say."

He then called down the naval soldiers who boarded the Gray Pearl to control the ship, and released Deus from the warship.

"You should go."

Garp roughly pushed Ace, who was held in his arms, towards the direction of the Gray Pearl.

Ace ran to his pirate ship without looking back, while Kos waved goodbye to Garp before pulling Deus, who had not yet figured out what happened, onto the ship. Michal quietly Followed silently at the back.

When everyone was on board, the Gray Pearl set sail again and prepared to set sail.

Ace leaned against the side of the ship on the deck and made a face at Garp.

"Smelly old man, I never want to see you again!"

Garp, on the other hand, said nothing. He just kept staring at the Gray Pearl, his eyes moving as she sailed, until he could no longer see the pirate ship and the people on it.

When Garp and others were about to board the ship and leave, a cloud of white smoke quickly flew toward the port. Only after seeing Garp and others did they land and reveal themselves.

"Lieutenant General Garp, you are here too!"

Smoker, who said this, was shocked and confused. He was surprised that the naval hero Garp would actually appear here. He was also suspicious of why Garp was still missing Kos and others here. They should not be able to run away.

"Have you seen a group of pirates? They seem to be coming in this direction."

"Oh, they!"

Garp smiled and pointed to the boundary between sea and sky in the distance and said,

"They have already left. If you can't catch them, don't chase them."

"what?"

Smoker couldn't believe these words coming from Garp's mouth.

You must know that even when facing the pirate king Roger Garp, he never gave up the pursuit, but now he said to a group of pirates who had just emerged, "If you can't catch up, stop chasing."

Smoker swallowed, and then asked the question that even he thought was extremely stupid:

"Didn't you even stop them?"

"No, I didn't stop them."

Garp once again said the answer in a relaxed tone that made Smoker suspect that he was hallucinating.

"Nothing can stop a man from running for the sea, or so they say."

Putting Smoker aside who was so shocked that he couldn't help himself, Garp looked at the seemingly calm sea again, and then said something that even shocked the people around him:

"Speaking of which, it seems that I wanted to be a pirate when I was young, but why did I become a navy?"

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

This chapter has four thousand words

Garp's desire to become a pirate comes from a short story written by Oda before he drew One Piece. In that story, Garp was the one who led the way for Luffy to become a pirate. I remember there was also a short film about it.

By the way, the East China Sea chapter ends from here, so I’ll just talk about it casually.

I wanted to portray Cos as a complex and contradictory character: he hopes for a comfortable and quiet life, but also craves exciting adventures; he is willing to kill extremely annoying people without hesitation, but at the same time he is worried about killing innocent people indiscriminately. ; You can do whatever it takes to win, but when you have a choice, you also want to win decently.

However, due to my writing problems, it may seem a bit messy. I am very sorry if it has brought you a bad experience.

This book has an outline, but not much, and I'm not a professional, so I don't know how to grasp the rhythm. I can only say that I won't let myself go too far.

The protagonist's chain fruit is because I think it's cool to fight with chains. It was inspired by Enkidu in FGO. Enkidu and I are also quite destined (referring to the second treasure that appears when I draw Universe Rin).

That's it for the nonsense, thank you to everyone who saw this.

And please bear with me in the future.
