Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Zhang Da was not surprised that the navy marshal was to be replaced. Aokiji and Akainu would probably be promoted to generals by then.

As for Sengoku asking Garp to pay more attention to them, since Garp can say it so carelessly, it means it is not a particularly serious matter.

Garp just seems unreliable, but he's not really stupid. If Seng Guo seriously told him not to reveal anything, he wouldn't say a word.

The reason Sengoku gave Garp this mission is probably because the East China Sea, as a 'symbol of peace', is too important to the navy and it needs to maintain necessary vigilance. Maybe part of the reason is that Sengoku felt unhappy when Garp was too idle, so he deliberately gave it to Garp. He looked for something to do.

Afterwards, Garp asked a little about the Golden Lion, and Zhang Da also briefly explained the purpose and final result of the Golden Lion.

Then Zhang Daye asked: "Didn't the Warring States General tell you these things?"

"I seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep at that time, hahaha!" Garp smiled heartlessly, and then said a little melancholy, "That guy Shiji, since he escaped from prison, wouldn't it be better to hide somewhere and live in retirement?"

After all, they are both contemporaries. Although they will fight because of their different stances and kill each other when they meet, they will feel a little disappointed until the other person actually dies.

Especially after thinking that the one who defeated Shiji in the end was the little girl who competed with Luffy for meat, Garp suddenly felt that he was getting old?

"Is the Golden Lion Shiji you are talking about very strong?" Ace asked curiously as he listened quietly to the conversation between Zhang Daye and Garp.

Zhang Da also said smoothly: "The Golden Lion was a great pirate who was as famous as Roger, the Pirate King, more than ten years ago. Later, he caused trouble at the Navy Headquarters and was caught. Then he cut off his legs and escaped from prison. His strength must have declined a lot compared to ten years ago, right? .”

Ace only heard the words 'as famous as Roger, the Pirate King', and didn't hear the rest.

"Ace..." Garp had a complicated look on his face. He knew that the last name Ace probably wanted to hear was Roger. He even once questioned whether he should be born into this world because of others' resentment towards Roger.

"Mr. Tatsuya, can you please discuss with me?" Ace saw that the main person talking to Garp was Zhang Tatsuya, and mistakenly thought that Zhang Tatsuya was the most powerful one in the group and that the Golden Lion was defeated by him. of.

Zhang Da also asked: "Why do you want to fight me?"

Ace clenched his fists: "I want to know what kind of strength it takes to defeat that man."

People who don't know the truth may think that the man refers to the golden lion, but Zhang Da also knows that he is talking about Roger.

Ace knew that he was Roger's son, and Roger was known by the world as the culprit who started the great pirate era. Countless people suffered from pirates and hated Roger deeply.

Ace once asked some strangers what would happen if Roger had a child.

The reply he got was a bunch of vicious abuse and curses, and he ended up getting into a fight with those people, and then he began to wonder if it would be better for him not to have been born, and he began to want to do something to prove his existence.

For example, do something beyond that man, such as obtain the highest reputation.

Now, someone who could defeat a pirate as famous as that man was right in front of him, and Ace wanted to give it a try.

Zhang Da also wondered: "Isn't Lieutenant General Garp here? You just need to defeat him."

Ace's face darkened. Garp had almost become a psychological shadow for him and Luffy. Every time he saw Garp, he felt that he had become a lot stronger, but after every meeting, he still couldn't even catch a punch.

"He doesn't count! I want to know how powerful you are!"

"But you can't even catch one of Perona's moves." Zhang Da also mocked Ace, imitating Ace's tone after being hit by the Negative Ghost, "Why do I have the nerve to say I want to be a pirate!"

"Hahahaha, Ace is an idiot, he was so inferior just now!" Luffy, who had eaten his belly until it was round, smiled unscrupulously, as if he had not knelt down just now.

Arturia glanced at Luffy and continued eating. Although the child ate quickly enough, he still had a little less to eat. This time, I won.

Feeling the delicious taste on her tongue and enjoying the joy of victory, Artoria's eyes narrowed, and the dull hair on her head swayed slightly.

Ace, who was being teased, turned red in the face, stretched out his hand to pull Luffy's face, and scolded: "Idiot, I was just careless! And you were not the same just now, so what right do you have to laugh at me!"

"I was too careless! The ghost will definitely be beaten away next time!" Luffy said vaguely as his cheek was pulled.

Xia Lulu asked curiously: "What's going on with the child's body shape and face? Is he a relative of Tom?"

No wonder Xia Lulu asked, Tom had also eaten his belly until it was round, and was trying to pull his own face to see if he could stretch it like Luffy.

Wendy guessed: "Should...should be a Devil Fruit user like Perona, right?"

"I am the rubber man who ate the rubber fruit!" Luffy couldn't resist Ace's claws and simply stopped resisting. When introducing his abilities, he stretched his other cheek with his hand, and then asked curiously, " Did that cat eat the rubber fruit too?”

"No, he's just a special house cat." Shark Chili, who was closest to Tom, said.

Then he successfully attracted Luffy's attention. Little Luffy didn't care to marvel at Tom's magic. Instead, he looked Shark Pepper up and down and asked expectantly: "You...you are not a robot, are you?"

"Yes, I am a robot, B-series robot No. 9, Shark Pepper." Shark Pepper has fully realized how popular he is among certain groups in this world, and deliberately reported his number when admitting his identity. He even posed.

"That's awesome~" Ace and Luffy's eyes shone, but Ace might feel it was a bit embarrassing to show admiration as soon as he raised the challenge, so he coughed dryly and pretended not to care.

Luffy didn't care about that, he just rushed over and circled around Shark Pepper: "Transform, transform, can you transform? How about shooting lasers?"

Shark Pepper nodded and said: "Of course he will transform, but that is a posture he will only show when he encounters a powerful enemy."

"So handsome!" Luffy's eyes almost turned into golden cross stars, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently, "Ace, robot, robot, a shark robot that can transform!"

"It's too noisy, Luffy! I'm challenging them!" Ace is very interested in robots that can transform. Will he change when facing a strong enemy? So as long as they accept my challenge, won’t they be able to see it? Idiot Luffy couldn't even think of this.

"Then I want to challenge too!" At this time, Luffy was simply Ace's little follower.

Zhang Da also looked at Luffy's round belly and said helplessly: "You will vomit if you fight like this, right?"

"No way! My fists are as powerful as bullets, and all of a sudden... ugh!" Luffy swung his arms a little too much when he spoke, and almost vomited out, so he quickly covered his mouth.

"Hey, do you dare to accept my challenge?" Ace had no idea how to deal with this idiot brother, so he also used provocation against Zhang Da.

"As long as you two can deal with Perona's negative ghost, I will accept the challenge." Zhang Da did not forget to ask Garp for his opinion, "Is it okay, Lieutenant General Garp?"

"Let's go and do it." This was Garp's request from the beginning. Even if he didn't expect to change Ace and Luffy's minds like this, it would still be good to let them gain some knowledge.

"Why do you want me to compete with them?" Perona was a little unhappy that Zhang Da didn't ask for her opinion.

Zhang Da also has some experience in dealing with this arrogant monster: "Because your ability is great, I'm begging you."

"Hmph, it sounds so perfunctory. Everyone on the ship is obviously better than me." Although Perona is arrogant, she is not stupid.

At this time, Wendy said: "I also think Perona's ability is very powerful. She can subdue the enemy in one go."

"Huh?" Perona looked at Wendy's sincere eyes and blushed a little, "Since...since Wendy said so, there is nothing we can do."

Zhang Da also gave Wendy an appreciative look, which was a good assist.

Wendy blinked and didn't understand what it meant. She was just praising Perona.

Ace took a stance: "Come on, I won't be careless this time!"

Luffy was similar to him: "Me too! That kind of ghost can be knocked away with one punch!"

"Who will be beaten away by you, Negative Ghost!" Perona waved her hand, and the two little ghosts flew out.

The ghost was very fast, but both Ace and Luffy were able to react in time, punching the little ghost, and both of them fell to their knees.

Ace: "I'm so bad thinking about being a pirate all day long..."

Luffy: "If there is an afterlife, I want to be a sea cucumber..."

Garp should have been sad to see his two grandsons depressed, but what these two boys said was so... so comforting!

Even being a sea cucumber is better than being a pirate, right?

Zhang Daye is contrary to Karp's opinion. Being a sea cucumber is also very dangerous, and if you don't make it, you may get killed along with some people.

"Hehehehehehe, you deserve it!" Perona looked at the two brothers and smiled happily. Suddenly she thought of a good idea and said to Zhang Daye, "Hey, give them a copy of my elementary school rules." Bar!"

Do you want to tear up other people's umbrellas because you have been caught in the rain? No, no, no, it was obviously Perona who supported these two children with backward ideas.

Zhang Da also gave her a thumbs up and gave her some advice: "Tell them later, they won't give up easily. You can make a bet with them. If you lose, copy it again. If you don't agree, mock them." You don’t even dare to do this, don’t mention being a pirate again in the future, naughty kids like them are the easiest to get excited about, it will definitely work, and Garp might even thank you after you deal with them.”

"Yeah, yeah!" Perona nodded quickly with a little devil-like smile, is this still okay? learned. Then he suddenly looked at Zhang Daye warily. You must be careful of being deceived by him in the future!

Soon Ace jumped up: "Damn it! I won't lose, come again!"

Luffy followed closely: "Me too!"

"Wait a minute!" Perona followed what Zhang Daye taught her and made conditions.

Ace and Luffy picked their nostrils with their little fingers and flicked the boogers away: "Elementary school student code, what is that?"

Tom's eyes lit up when he was watching the fun, and he learned a new way to ridicule others.

"How disgusting! What kind of attitude do you have!" Perona was angered by the two brothers' careless actions, but in order to punish the two of them for venting their anger, she still explained it carefully.

As they listened, Ace and Luffy's heads gradually tilted to one side, as if they didn't know what you were talking about.

Even Garp next to him made the same move and didn't understand what this little girl was going to do.

"Anyway, if you lose, you have to write as a penalty. It doesn't matter, let's get started!" Ace briefly made a director, anxious to start the next battle.

"Wait a minute Ace, I hate writing!" Luffy's tone sounded very coquettish.

"Idiot, if you don't want to write, just win!" Ace pulled out the water pipe from behind.

"Ah, as expected of Ace!" Little Luffy also picked up the water pipe. If he couldn't hit with his fist, he would hit him with the water pipe. Ace is so smart.

Perona patted her forehead: "What two idiots."

Swish, the two little ghosts passed through the water pipe and penetrated the bodies of the two brothers.

Ace: "No, I will never be a pirate in my life..."

Luffy: "I want to be a paramecium in my next life..."

Perona raised a finger: "Hehehehehe...again!"

"Damn it, come again!"

Swish.

"Twice!"

…

"Come again!"

Swish.

"Thirty-three times..." Perona yawned, "Hey, it's almost time to give up, right? Just admit defeat, right?"

"Huh...huh..." Ace breathed heavily. Although the negative ghost had no offensive power, it obviously put a lot of burden on the spirit by causing people to fall into depression so frequently.

For example, Luffy is lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out, and he can hardly get up from being tortured.

But even though this kid was like this, he still muttered things like "I'm not losing, I don't want to be a caterpillar, I want to be the Pirate King."

And Ace was still holding on to the water pipe, refusing to give up even if there was nothing he could do to defeat the ghost: "I will not give up, I will... become a pirate, I will... always win, and then... gain the highest reputation... Only in this way can I prove my existence! Come again!"

Of course Perona couldn't understand him, she just complained: "What? You can't resist the ghost of negativity, so what nonsense are you talking about!"

She was a little tired after using her ability so many times in a row.

Zhang Da also looked at Garp's expression and made sure he didn't look angry at all, so he didn't stop Perona. He secretly thought that Garp was really tough-hearted when he was training his grandson.

Arturia and Shark Pepper looked at Ace with a little admiration, but more of a pity. With such a strong will and such a good kid, why did he want to be a pirate?

Wendy and Xia Lulu are more emotional. If they were more familiar with Ace Luffy, they might not be able to help shouting "Come on."

“Negative Ghost!”
