Chapter 2: Isn't This Garp's Grandson? Becoming a Pirate!

As the light screen and sound appear, the entire sailing world is in an uproar!

All regions, all countries, all familiar faces and countless bystanders wear expressions of extreme excitement.

[The video broadcast will start soon. Before it starts, you need to understand some rules!]

[Everyone can answer questions at specific times while watching the video broadcast. If you answer incorrectly, there's no penalty, but if you answer correctly, you can get rewards!]

[Please watch the video carefully and have an enjoyable experience...]

With the pleasant voice reappearing, the sailing world is once again swept up in a wave.

Top ten pinnacle battles?

Answer questions for rewards?

What's going on?

Within Marineford, Doflamingo bursts into laughter.

"Is this some kind of prize contest? The Marines' headquarters sure know how to put on a flashy show!"

Sengoku replies, "This isn't our doing."

"It's not yours?"

Before Doflamingo can speak, Moria's cunning voice chimes in first.

"I thought it was some Marine's Devil Fruit ability, adding a bit of fun to this year's meeting."

Crocodile says, "If there really is such a Devil Fruit, what would it be called? Screen Fruit, or Video Broadcast Fruit?"

Jinbe speaks seriously, "Let's not joke around. We still don't know what's going on. Whoever is able to cover the entire sky with screens, their ability is too strange."

"Let's just watch for now. We still don't understand the situation..."

Sengoku remains calm, his words not only quieting those around him but also the noisy Marines below.

After all, he has never encountered such a situation before.

How did this screen covering all of Marineford come to be?

Is it a technological ability?

A Devil Fruit ability?

If it really is, what kind of Devil Fruit is it?

Logia? Or Paramecia?

This situation is too strange; no one knows who's behind it.

Other than waiting and observing, there's no better option...

...

Fushia Village !

Luffy returns to shore, standing with Dadan and the others, all looking up at the sky with puzzled expressions.

"What is this thing?"

"Who's counting down the pinnacle battles?"

The questions in everyone's minds pile up, probably enough to form a mountain.

But no one can answer them right now, not even the usually carefree Luffy.

Unlike the Marines, the people of Fushia Village are more worried about whether this thing will fall from the sky.

"Ma...Makino, do you think this thing hanging in the sky is secure?"

"If it falls, won't this frail island sink directly?"

Dadan's voice trembles as she asks Makino, holding onto her.

Although she looks rough and muscular, she is still afraid of many things, let alone this sudden situation.

But Makino, who she asked, can't answer her either because she's scared too...

If such a large screen falls, the island may or may not sink, but at least everyone present would likely be crushed!

At this moment, many people are looking at Luffy's "pirate ship."

They're thinking, should they take the chance while there's no anomaly and row away from the island?

But this small wooden boat is so pitifully small that it can only seat three to five people. With Dadan's size, there's probably no room for anyone else!

Just as everyone is uneasy...

The screens everywhere begin to flicker at this moment, and then an image starts to emerge!

[This is an ordinary island, with houses and trees everywhere, as if everything is very normal.]

[What's slightly different is that in this village, several large windmills stand in various places, moving with the wind.]

[Three children, only a few years old, run down a small road, their faces filled with joy. While running, they can't help but tease the villagers on the side of the road.]

[An angry villager rushes out, "Luffy, Sabo, Ace, if you three kick my door again, I'll teach you a lesson!"]

[Another villager, looking at the mess in his garden, roars, "Luffy, you three, look at the mess you've made! I'm going to tell Garp!"]

...

"Is this…?"

Dadan and the others are stunned, and then they look at Luffy beside them.

"Luffy, why are you, Ace, and Sabo in this picture?"

"Also, it's from when you were kids!"

Everyone is puzzled, not knowing why the three children appear on the screen, and even their own images are in the picture!

What on earth is going on!?

Luffy stares at the screen blankly, his expression suddenly dimming, "Sabo..."

Meanwhile, in Marineford, at the Marine Headquarters…

"Garp, isn't that your grandson?"

Sengoku is surprised. As an old partner, he naturally knows Garp's family well and recognizes them at a glance.

But now, not only is Sengoku confused, even Garp himself has a bewildered look on his face, quickly turning to the people around him!

"Isn't that Luffy, that brat?"

"Why is he on the screen!?"

Sengoku, the three admirals, and the Seven Warlords: "…"

You're asking us?

We want to ask you!

Following that, the picture continues to play…

[Ace and Sabo are gone, leaving only Luffy. However, he's no longer a child but a 17-year-old teenager!]

[Looking at the vast coastline, Luffy raises his arms and yells with all his might, "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!"]

[Then, he arrives at the dock, with the villagers of Fushia Village behind him. After bidding farewell one by one, he gets on a wooden boat with a makeshift pirate flag.]

[With the rowing of the oars, Luffy leaves Fushia Village and officially embarks on his journey as a pirate…]

Bang!!!

Sengoku is furious, looking at Garp, "Your grandson has become a pirate!?"

Garp, with a black line running across his forehead: "…"
