Monkey D. Luffy POV

Shell City, East Blue.

...

...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM

The explosion shook the entire place, window panes shattered with the impact of the blast, and terrified Marines ran, dropping their weapons from the wall.

Zoro didn't look much different from them.

"Whistle Quite an explosion, huh?" Luffy said, pleased.

"ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN, ARE YOU SURE???" Zoro yelled while trying to shield himself from the explosion.

Where the Marine gate used to be, now looked like hell on earth. There was no more wall, as it had been disintegrated by the impact, and the ground was dug a few meters deep, forming a small crater with purple flames burning on the earth at this moment.

"In my defense, I had no idea how this power worked! It was the first time using it!" Luffy had to come up with an excuse as he scratched his head. He really had no idea he was this powerful!

"This power may not be as powerful as Kizaru's, but I haven't even used its full potential yet!" He thought as he contemplated his potential and considered the future. He turned to a still dazed Zoro and said.

"Anyway, let's head to the base. The soldiers must be regrouping now. Morgan will show up soon." Luffy said as he walked in the opposite direction of the gate in chaos, which was now on fire. The soldiers on the wall, who were aiming at them, ended up fleeing in fear after witnessing this display of power.

With not much more to say, Zoro started following him closely.

"Who are you?!" The pair heard a voice as they approached the main building, and at that moment, the main door burst open with a hurried boom, revealing a giant man with an axe in place of his right hand, standing almost 3 meters tall, glaring at them in anger as he appeared before them.

"Ah! You must be Morgan, the captain of this base, right?" Luffy asked, not caring to introduce himself.

Several Marines were pointing their weapons at the pair behind him, but fear was evident in their eyes. They couldn't remain calm after seeing and feeling what Luffy had done, even if they thought it was due to some bomb he placed on the gate rather than the chaos flames generated in a matter of seconds by the palm of his hand; otherwise, they would be fleeing at this moment.

Luffy smiled at them.

"Yes, I am Morgan! Do you have any idea who you're attacking? No pirate attacks a Marine base and gets away with it!" He said as a threat.

"Hehe, I'd like to see that. I'm a pirate, and I do what I want," Luffy said as he walked towards Morgan without hesitation.

This only made Morgan even angrier at this young pirate. He then saw Luffy approaching the line of his attack, and as he walked, he raised his axe and swung it.

"THEN DIE!" He shouted and swung his axe with all his might.

Luffy, seeing this, had only one thought.

[Moa Moa no Mi: Defense, apply 30 times!]

CRACK

His axe connected with my body but stopped there, not going a millimeter further! It even created cracks in the weapon with the impact of Luffy's body.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" Morgan shouted, now truly scared.

"Is that all the great Captain Morgan can do? It's stronger than bullets, I admit, but it's still weaker than Lami's blade," Luffy smiled as he spoke.

"Shoot him! Kill them!" Morgan immediately yelled, trying to retreat from this monster.

[Moa Moa no Mi: Speed, apply 30 times!]

I disappeared from the spot, reappearing near Morgan's head.

[Moa Moa no Mi: Strength, apply 30 times!]

I still couldn't use two applications at the same time; I would have to further develop my fruit to achieve that. However, I could quickly switch between applications of multiplication.

Luffy didn't waste time and punched Morgan's head in that instant, without giving him a chance to react. I switched from speed to multiplied strength to see what would happen; I could defeat him with just my physical strength, but I wanted to test my limits.

BOOM

"HEHEHE, I wanted to talk to you again, Grandpa, I have some things to tell you," he said. But a voice interrupted me.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MORGAN?!" Sengoku asked hurriedly as he grabbed the communicator next to Garp.

"Well, I killed him," I said, and the room fell silent at that moment.

"You did what!?" Garp shouted in the background.

"Grandpa, I don't want to offend you or your precious Marines, but a commander who abuses his people to the point of hurting his subordinates and the city's citizens, claiming to do so for the sake of Marine justice, is the kind of person I hate most in this world. Even pirates have more dignity than this type of person because pirates do evil without hiding behind a noble cause," Luffy said and continued.

"And he tried to kill me, called me a demon, a monster, but if a person is ready to kill, then they must be ready to die," he said without mincing words.

"I can understand that..." My grandfather spoke, knowing that his grandson wouldn't lie, and he felt no deception at all, as his Haki would hardly be wrong, even through a Den Den Mushi.

"GARP! YOUR GRANDSON KILLED A BASE COMMANDER, RIGHT OR WRONG, AND HE TARNISHED THE NAME OF THE MARINES!" Sengoku yelled in anger, and Garp, who had concurred with his grandson on the phone, scratched his nose beside Sengoku.

"LUFFY, STAY THERE, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" Garp shouted indignantly.

"HAHAHAHA. Grandpa, I have more corrupt Marines to catch in this sea, so I won't be here for long," Luffy laughed in amusement at his grandfather's request; this guy was really funny.

"Grandpa, I want to tell you something else. There's a boy arriving at this base; he's weak and cowardly, but he has potential. He's determined to reach the level of an admiral. I would say he would be the best pupil you could get since I and Ace are pirates!" Luffy said with a smile.

"CURSE THEM, I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU GUYS CHOOSE THIS LIFESTYLE!!" Garp shouted in anger but quickly softened his voice.

"Tell me, is this boy here now?" Garp asked, curious. His rebellious grandson's words had piqued his interest.

"Yes, Grandpa. He's going to enlist as a Marine; it's a good change. I would take him as a crewmate, but he's determined to fight pirates!" I said.

"That's interesting!" My grandfather said with a smile.

"Yes, I want you to train him with everything, as I know you and Sengoku are almost retired!" I said with a smile, especially when the snail expressed anger that was nothing compared to before, while the Marine in the room with me fainted from those words. Luffy didn't care about that and continued.

"So the Marines need new potentials, only you guys aren't any fun when I dominate the New World. I hope for some challenge, you know?" I said arrogantly, while my grandfather and the fleet admiral were left speechless by my remarks.

"LUFFY, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" My grandpa shouted indignantly.

"Great, grandpa, I would love to see you again!" He said, with a smile, while the expression of the Den Den Mushi seemed genuinely happy at this moment.

"BUAHAHAHAHA! My grandson wants to see me!" Garp laughed happily.

"GARP!" Sengoku shouted again in anger.

"Oh yes, Luffy! Wait for me, and I'll capture you using my 'fist of love'!" He said.

"Grandpa, speaking of which, I learned to use the 'fist of love'! I saw a girl I liked a while back and used those fists on her to show my love, but she flew too far!" Luffy complained.

"Buahahahahaha. So you used the 'fist of love' the right way!"

While the grandfather-grandson duo chatted, Sengoku and the Marine who had fainted before and had now woken up were speechless with this conversation.

"How do you win over a woman by punching her?!" They exclaimed.

"Hm?" The same listeners were speechless at the next action of the grandfather-grandson on each of the lines.

Sengoku saw Garp fall asleep in front of him, while the Marine from Naval Base 153 was speechless when he saw Luffy and the Den Den Mushi fall asleep in the middle of the call.

"GARP!"

"Hm? What a strange dream, I dreamt that my grandson missed me..." he murmured, but when he saw the communication equipment in front of him, some veins appeared on his forehead.

"LUFFY!!!!! HOW CAN YOU SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL!!"

"Hmmm? Grandpa!"

"STAY IN THE EAST BLUE, GRANDPA IS COMING TO ARREST YOU!" Garp shouted.

"Okay, you can come, but bring some of those cookies. I want to try them to see why you only eat those. I plan to try them after I kick your butt, of course!" Luffy said with a smile, but before Garp could respond, Luffy hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Click

With that, Luffy left the room, satisfied, while the Marine who had been with him before was unconscious after hearing the entire conversation again.
