Pirate Shadow Guardian

East China Sea.

Windmill Town, by the beach.

The sun had just risen above the coastline, casting a shimmering glow on the sea, which was exceptionally spectacular.

However, Yangye Jasmine and Luffy had no time to look at this magnificent view. Their eyes were fixed on the two figures on the shore.

It was Zoro and Ace.

After all, they drank too much yesterday, and the two of them just hugged each other and slept in the dormitory of Makino Tavern in a daze for the whole night.

It was still dark when Zoro woke up first and was shocked to find that not only his hair was green, his face was green too!

When Zoro was about to punch the freckled face in front of him, which was magnified due to the distance, Ace, who felt the sense of danger, also woke up...

I was also startled, my face turned green, and I wanted to punch the ugly face in front of me...

Fortunately, the two of them had enough sense and did not tear down Makino's dormitory.

However, at this moment, their battle could no longer be delayed.

This is somewhat of a personal grudge...

"Go fight outside!"

The two said in unison.

Then, Yangye, startled by the fluctuation of the breath, woke up Luffy in the next room, knocked on Jasmine's door, and came here with the two little guys, chasing after the person he disliked.

"Remember to give it your all later, or don't blame me if you die!"

As Zoro spoke, he drew his sword...

"That's exactly what I wanted to say!"

Ace had no weapon, but he was not afraid at all.

Without any warning, both sides rushed towards each other with murderous intent.

"They won't cause any casualties, will they?"

Little Luffy is a little worried. These two don't look like they are going to spar with each other...

"It's normal to be in a bad mood when you wake up. Just play a game and let off some steam."

Yangye said calmly, not worried at all.

He could sense that the two men were not actually that angry, they just wanted to use this as an excuse to have a fight.

Zoro wielded his two swords, attacking fiercely. But Ace did not give in, using his agility to deal with Zoro, punching and kicking at the blades, avoiding the blades.

After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Ace had several minor scratches on his body, while Zoro looked intact, with only a few fist and footprint marks on his clothes.

Yang also knew that Zoro was slightly at a disadvantage, but Ace suffered the disadvantage of having no weapons after all and was more seriously injured.

"Okay, that's it, a draw."

Yang also spoke at the right time, interrupting the competition.

The two stopped what they were doing, but continued to stare at each other, looking as if they were still not satisfied.

"What's there to fight about? Zoro, you don't dare to use your full strength, Ace, you don't dare to attack the vital points, what's the point of fighting like this?"

Yang also exposed the two of them without any hesitation.

"Eh? They actually held back after all this?"

Luffy was surprised. He thought these two had already used their full strength...

"I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, some parts of his body will be missing!"

"I was worried that I might accidentally beat you to death!"

These two still refused to give in to each other, and instead of using their fists, they started to use their mouths...

"Okay then, you guys fight as hard as you can, and Luffy and I will collect your bodies."

Yang didn't indulge them at all.

"Humph!"

Zoro snorted, danced with his two swords in a beautiful sword flower, and sheathed the swords, looking so cool.

Ace lightly brushed off the dust on his body with the back of his hand, looking calm and composed.

Well, these two will die if they don't pretend, right? !

"I admit that if it was a month ago, I would not be your opponent."

Zoro said seriously.

He just refuses to admit defeat, he's not being stubborn.

"When I was your age, I wasn't as strong as you."

Ace responded in the same way, he also had the character of a strong man.

"In the future, I will be even stronger!"

"I will also become stronger than I am now!"

Just when I calmed down and said a few words, I started to compete again...

Yang also held his forehead with his hand and left with a headache.

Let these two guys take their time to prepare!

However, seeing that he was about to leave, the two hurriedly followed him and started talking about what to eat for breakfast again...

Is this what it means to make friends through martial arts, without fighting, without acquaintance?

Yang also said that he did not understand the world of Wu Fengzi, nor did he want to understand it.

After breakfast, the two changed their clothes and went out shopping.

Sauron said that he would pay for today's consumption!

Yang naturally didn't care, but Ace and Luffy seemed very excited. These two kids were usually too strictly controlled, and even had to pick up garbage and hunt for pocket money. When had they ever been so rich?

But these two people really have no idea about money.

Yang also took the entire Creek Pirates with him when he went out. In addition to being worried that they would cause trouble without him, they also needed someone to act as a porter.

He was planning to return to Yueyin Island this time, so naturally he had to bring some gifts back.

Yang Ye had almost cleared out all the supplies for sale in the town. Even so, Yang Ye still felt unsatisfied...

The town is too small and the products are not abundant. Luffy suggested to go to the inner city of Goya Kingdom, but Ace rejected it.

Untouchables were prohibited from entering the inner city.

He didn't consider himself a pariah, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Windmill Town.

Yang naturally followed suit and had no intention of seeking excitement.

.........

Yangye and others rested well in Windmill Town for a week and experienced the local customs and practices. They were about to leave tomorrow, but at this time, Ace and Luffy found Yangye and said that Garp wanted to see him!

Yang also took Karp's invitation very seriously, but he was not too worried.

His appearance in Windmill Town was just accidental, and he did not cause any damage to the town. On the contrary, he boosted the local economy. Given Cap's character, he would not attack him for this reason.

only…

He had only been in Windmill Town for a week. What a coincidence that Garp had already returned? If we calculate that it takes a week to travel from the Grand Line to the East China Sea, if we cross the Calm Belt, it would take about a week to travel at full speed, right?

However, if Yang wanted to do something to Windmill Town, a week would be enough for him to plunder and then disappear. So, Karp was not worried that he would harm Windmill Town, but came to find him?

No wonder the villagers have been so enthusiastic recently, trying to get him to stay for a few more days...

Well, the water in Windmill Town is not shallow either!

Yang even suspected that if he had any bad thoughts, a boss would jump out at any minute and slap him to death!

Of course, this is just Yang Ye's guess.

Maybe Cap just came back for vacation and met him by chance?

Although, this possibility is not very high.

There is nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to hesitate about. Just go there and everything will be clear.

Taking Jasmine with them, calling Zoro, Yangye and others followed Ace and Luffy to Garp's house in Windmill Town.

The house is not big, but very tidy.

Even though Ace and Luffy were fostered in the bandit Dadan's house, there were still people cleaning and maintaining the place.

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Yang also bowed respectfully to the burly old man with white hair and beard, and Zoro and Jasmine followed suit.

This is a legend on the sea, a hero of the navy, and he deserves their respect!

"Grandpa, why are you back again?"

"You little brat! Don't you really want grandpa to come back?"

"Um...of course...not. Welcome back Grandpa!"

Luffy forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said something against his will.

Only a ghost would hope that this stinky old man would come back!

I just beat him up every time!

God knows that even though I have turned into a rubber man, it still hurts so much when my grandfather hits me!!!

"Alright, brat, Ace, you two stand aside for now. I have something to discuss with this 'Silver-haired Slitthroat'."

"Silver-haired Slitthroat? Why does this title sound so familiar?"

"Last year, Pawley Island."

Ace reminded his slow-witted brother.

"Eh? It's you!"

"Luffy!!!"

Garp raised his voice, the threat evident in it.

"Here! Grandpa! You guys chat! You guys chat!"

Luffy shrank his neck and stood aside quietly.
