4 A Garp in the Sea

"Where now captain?"

A man in a white shirt and blue pants with a blue tie, asks.

"To my GRANDSONNNN!" yells a huge man with a dog-like hat covering most of his face. His wide grin poking through the length of the hat. This large man sits at the mast of the huge ship the crew are on with a pile of cannonballs next to him.

"East blue.....Foosha village it is.." the rest of the passengers show up and start rushing around to get coordinates and steer the ship to the village.

"Pirates to the East!"

"Pirates to the West!"

Calls rang on the ship, the huge man stands up and shakes his arm a bit, he reaches toward the cannonballs and grabs one and chucks it at the ship toward East.

BOOOM

The ball hits the ship and

BOOM

FOOSHHHHH

A ball of fire rises toward the sky.....

"One down... you guys handle the other..." the large man sits down.

"NO...you handle it! Captain Garp."

"Yes, we have enough trouble steering the ship now."

"Yes" Everyone in the ship roared.

All the shipmates wear the same clothes.

Garp gets up now the smile on his face fading," GO AWAY!" and throws another cannonball.

BOOM

SLICE!!!

The cannonball get sliced in two midair and goes in two different directions.

"Ooo..... a swordsman they have! Lets see how many they can cut down" Garp, now windmills a bunch of cannonballs which the pirate ship, in vain try to cut.

The force of his throws send waves roaring outward and the navy ship is visibly pushed back. Another plume of smoke and fire rise... WOOOOOOOSH.

"DONE!" He sits down and yells.

"YOU PUSHED US OFF COURSE!!! We are almost a Jaya island." yells the rest of his crew.

"OOPS....."

The captain, Monkey D Garp 'The Hero of The Marines' looks forward and his smile grows wider.

He was the Vice Admiral of the Marines, but all the navy soldiers called him captain.

His soldiers liked him a lot and he was like a family to them, so they supported him whatever he did and their relationship was that of equals not that of a strict hierarchy.

FWOOOOM

WOOOSH

WOOSH

"What in the...A BOY!!" Garp looks at the source of the sound and spots a child falling from the sky....

"GET HIM CAPTAIN!!" the crew yells.

Garp positions himself and shoots toward the falling child.

The ship visibly lurches back and a soldier flies off the railing.

Garp catches the child and then falls right into the water...

SPLASH!

Underwater, he sees the child visibly weakening , "Devil Fruit user.... a child! HMmmmmm.... Oh Shit he might drown!" Garp swims toward his ship and jumps onto it with the child in his arms.

He give the child to the ship's doctor and says "Onward !!".

We should reach by tonight or you are all starving.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Ugh....Blergh" the one marine who got knocked off climbed back on board and then calls "Stop knocking people OFF captain....." the man now visibly angry shuffles off to dry his clothes.

The doctor the only female member in the crew walks to Garp and says," The cute child will be alright....but there will be complications.....the poor child has a sort of trauma."

"He has gone through a lot huh" Garp gaze softens at the sight of the child unconscious on the bed in the sleeping quarters.

"Umm, Captain, he also has awakened Haki and has eaten a devil fruit.... but they seemed to have awakened simultaneously or at least relatively close .....Sooo"

"What do you mean?" Garp asked.

"To prevent an overload of his brain....his body automatically shut control of some of his functions."

"That has never happened right...?" Garp tilts his head and looks confused.

"He is a child... and that level of load on his mind can cripple him.... so it could be a reason.... but, I believe by the time he grows up, he will at heal and his mind can readily accept that load..."

Garp tilts his head further....

"What I mean is he will heal with time and I can confirm his devil fruit can enhance his thinking capabilities or maybe increase his body capabilities over a long period of time..."

"Should we drop him at the nearest orphanage captain....?" a marine asks.

"HAHAHAHH..." After a hearty laugh, Garp says, "I will adopt him, let him be my next grandson.."
