really? just like that?

A few months passed, and this time Sora decided to have some fun since he had completed the basic foundation of the adventurers' guild and even successfully implemented it in the shinobi world.

Sora sailed alone on a mini yacht in the waters of the West Blue, looking for something interesting.

Never underestimate the West Blue, as many strong people come from there, like Roger, Garp, Dragon, and others.

Upon arriving in Orange Town, Sora saw several Marine ships docked in the town's harbor.

Sensing Garp's strong aura, it seemed he was visiting, so Sora decided to visit his old friend, hoping to have some fun.

----

In a restaurant in Orange Town, two high-ranking Marines, Garp and Tsuru, were discussing their next destination.

"Come on, Tsuru-chan, I haven't seen Luffy in a long time. How about we stop by for a bit? Besides, we haven't seen Sora in a few months now."

Meanwhile, Tsuru, exhausted from the long journey, could only sigh.

The biggest source of her stress was Garp's antics, always causing trouble and wanting to go home even when they were still on duty.

She also wanted to go home, but her responsibilities as a Marine outweighed her personal desires.

"Ohhh, you two looking for me? What's up? Let me hear about it!"

Unexpectedly, they were both startled by a very familiar voice they hadn't heard in a long time.

They looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man with brown hair sitting casually, eating and drinking.

"Sora!! Bwahaha, finally found you. And why haven't you changed at all?"

Garp, happy to meet an old acquaintance, was a bit confused because Sora hadn't aged a bit.

Even Tsuru was shocked, seeing that Sora looked the same despite the passing years.

"Ohhh, it's because I always live healthily. And look at you two, already looking old, especially Tsuru-chan. I told you, your Devil Fruit is strong but also damages your body. Every time you use it, you wash your enemies clean, but you also unconsciously wash yourself 24 hours a day for years... If only you had come with me back then, such a pity."

Tsuru, realizing that Sora hadn't changed in appearance or demeanor, quickly lowered her guard.

She smiled and responded to Sora.

"I'm a Marine, and you're a pirate... Besides, I already have a granddaughter now, so I don't really care about such things anymore."

Sora, remembering that Tsuru indeed had a granddaughter, nodded. Although Sora had been slightly interested in Tsuru when she was young, it was fleeting, so his dragon charisma didn't have much effect on her.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me? And Sora, I'm starting to get wrinkled too, you know. Why don't you give me something to look young?"

"You eat too many rice crackers; that's why your skin looks like them. And to look young, you should try to follow Sengoku's example, who dyes his hair."

"Pffttt.... If Sengoku heard that, he'd definitely be mad."

"Bwahaha, dyeing his hair? That bastard secretly dyes his hair? I thought he was just naturally youthful. No wonder he always avoids my questions..."

The three of them then relaxed and continued eating and drinking together, ignoring the shocked expressions of the Marines who couldn't believe that high-ranking officers like Tsuru and Garp could joke and eat with a legendary pirate at the same table.

"Ohhh, right. If I remember correctly, you also have a grandson, right, Garp? His name is Luffy, living in Foosha Village, raised by the mountain bandit Dadan and her underlings, then forming a brotherhood pact with Anne, Sabo, and Uta,-"

"Wait a minute!!!.... How do you know all that... Wait... don't tell me..."

Hearing Sora's description, Garp panicked, and his face grew paler as he saw Sora's stupid grin.

And everything ended when Garp got confirmation from Sora.

"Tehe!!"

"Arghhhhh damn it.... Luffyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Garp then ran outside, heading to his hometown, leaving the other Marines stunned by his over-the-top reaction.

"You're cruel, Sora. I bet that kid named Luffy will get a punishment from Garp."

"Ahahaha, well, with such a big family background, Luffy is bound to do something big no matter what he becomes. And Garp's training is very beneficial, though a bit harsh."

For Sora, Luffy had to grow stronger because this time he wouldn't get help from Nami or Robin, so he had to work harder if he wanted to become the Pirate King.

"Ohh yes, Tsuru-chan, you were looking for me to take me to Impel Down, right?"

Tsuru, hearing this, was a bit surprised that Sora already knew their purpose, but since it was out in the open, she didn't need to beat around the bush and nodded, then explained why she and Garp were searching for Sora.

The Marines listening were also shocked, not expecting that even Sengoku didn't dare to conflict with Sora.

After hearing Tsuru's explanation, Sora finally decided to play along. After all, he wasn't afraid of the sea or seastone, and if Shiki could escape from Impel Down, Sora could blow up the entire place if he wanted to.

"Alright, I don't mind. Let's go to Impel Down now!"

"Okay, come with me."

Sora then followed Tsuru to the harbor without being restrained by seastone cuffs or anything.

After the two left, the Marines, still in shock at what had happened, gradually snapped out of it one by one.

"EHHHHHHHHHHH JUST LIKE THAT???!!!!!!!!!!"
