Chapter 45 Garp Wants to Accept Apprentices?

"Hahaha, don't be so serious! Let's all go to dinner!"

The person who approached was a strong old man. Even though he had white hair, his chest was broad, his body muscular, and he did not appear weak for his age. His dark skin exuded a healthy color.

It was the famous "Navy Hero," Monkey D. Garp!

Loya raised his head when he heard this voice, which was almost indistinguishable from a dubbing.

"Monkey D. Garp?"

In the entire One Piece world, there are three things that make Loya most curious about.

First, what cards do the Celestial Dragons have to maintain their dominance?

Second, how is the geography of this world formed?

Third,

How strong is Monkey D. Garp?

It can be seen from the words he said after Akainu killed Ace during the war on the top that Garp had the ability to kill Akainu Sakaski at that time. He even asked Sengoku to stop him, fearing he couldn't help it.

With this level of strength, who would dare to take Garp's words as mere barking from a distant dog?

Akainu is a dignified admiral and is known as the strongest combat power in the Navy. It is feared that even he wouldn't be able to resist killing Garp. How strong is Garp?

So, Loya was truly curious about Garp, even more so than his exploration of the secrets of the D family.

"Master Garp!"

While Loya was in a daze, Aldo stood up straight and saluted.

In addition to the three admirals who went to the recruit camp, Aldo admired the Iron Fist Garp the most.

This is the great hero who arrested the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, with his own hands. Aldo had grown up listening to his legend.

For the three admirals, Aldo felt a yearning reverence, but for Garp, it was genuine worship.

Seeing Aldo's excited expression, Loya realized what he was thinking. He was also certain that Aldo did not know that Dracule Mihawk, identified by the government as "the most vicious criminal in the world," was the son of the object of his adoration.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Loya's mouth as he considered whether it would be a little spoiler.

At that moment, Garp waved his hand to disperse the crowd and walked to the meal window: "Ah, today it's your chef, Marcus. That old rule, give me one."

Marcus is the uncle who provided food for Loya and Aldo. Hearing Garp's words, Marcus burst into tears: "That... Sir Garp, maybe you need to wait."

Garp has his own residence in Marineford, but he can't cook as he lives alone. He usually eats three meals a day in the barracks cafeteria.

"Huh? Why?" Garp asked strangely. Suddenly, he noticed that the counter was cleaned inside and out! He immediately stared, stunned: "Hey, Marcus, when did you stop working? There is still a large group of bastards who are not full!"

"How is it possible to stop working..." Marcus defended weakly, pointing to Loya and Aldo. "Those two little guys over there took away all the prepared food. You know, my food is not allowed to be left to cool; it has always been prepared according to the flow of people in the cafeteria, and they took away all the food that was just made."

"Oh? There's such a thing." Garp turned his head and looked at Aldo, who was staring at him, his hands shaking with excitement, and the little man opposite Aldo who was eating and drinking with an open belly.

There were only two people, but they occupied an entire table, and the mountains of food on the table belonged to both of them.

"That kid... is the one Kuzan has been teaching all this time?" Garp thought.

Kuzan personally taught a recruit, and when the news broke, everyone thought it was a joke.

Admiral teaching recruits? What an international joke! What can recruits learn? Still running and exercising.

But with the news that gradually spread in the elite camp, as well as the sounds of explosions and splashes of ice in the small square every day at dusk, everyone gradually accepted this incredible information.

Garp only learned about him when Loya was promoted for the first time after arriving at headquarters. After all, the inexplicable momentum was so shocking that even he was significantly affected.

"By the way, didn't Sengoku say yesterday that the only silver-backed great ape on the trial island was killed? He asked Huoshaoshan and Ghost Spider to catch one back!"

Garp remembered what happened at the meeting yesterday. At that time, he happened to be thirsty after eating too much, so he casually listened to a few words while looking for water.

Thinking of this, Garp became very curious about what kind of ability this recruit, Christopher Loya, possessed that made Zefa and Kuzan treat him so differently.

"Marcus, bring it to me later!" Garp greeted Marcus and walked slowly to Loya's table.

Aldo had been watching Garp, and when he saw him coming, he suddenly stood up, flicking his chopsticks and splashing Loya with fried rice.

"Ka... Lord Garp!"

Loya ripped off the rice grains, speechless, and then stood up lazily to salute: "Lieutenant General Garp, hello!"

No matter how curious he was, it wasn't as important as eating!

Aldo was clearly not a qualified foodie. Facing his idol, he completely gave up on food. In addition to contempt, Loya could only go along with the flow.

Although this was the cafeteria and there was no need to salute an officer, the other party was the naval hero Monkey D. Garp. If Loya were to treat it casually, he would bet that someone would teach him a lesson within 24 hours.

This included, but was not limited to, the lieutenant generals.

Seeing Loya's languid look, Garp's eyes were deep: "It's true that he is Kuzan's disciple. I can see ten percent of that temperament in you."

Thinking this, Garp said something different: "Hahahaha, what a spirited guy! Not bad! It's a good thing to be able to eat!"

Saying that, he patted Aldo's stomach, coughed awkwardly, and changed the subject: "You are Aldo, right? Zefa values you very much. Last time..."

Hulu~

Aldo and Loya, who were being addressed, remained still with stunned expressions. Looking at Garp, who had fallen asleep and started snoring in an instant, Loya's heart was as noisy as a galloping horse.

"Hold on!!! You really fell asleep! How did you learn such an unscientific skill?"

Pat~

Snot bubbles exploded, and Garp continued to speak as if nothing had happened, even maintaining the same tone: "Last time Zefa was saying that as long as you keep up the speed, you can graduate. Well, anyway, that means that in so many elite camps, there are only a few who are able to use their weapons and Haki without graduating. You are a genius! Now he can't take you when applying for graduation. Hahahaha."

Although Garp made a big joke at the end, Aldo still didn't feel any sense of relaxation.

He stomped hard, and the clogs on his feet crashed down. Loya saw the bones in the bowl shake twice.

Aldo, who saluted again, said excitedly: "Yes, I know!"

So, what do you know? I don't understand why! ! !

Loya complained wildly in his heart and suddenly looked at Garp. The two found that each other's eyes were full of helplessness.

"This kid is interesting," Garp thought calmly and waved Aldo to sit down. Then he looked at Loya, his straight gaze seemingly wanting to see through him.

"Hey, are you Loya?" After asking, without waiting for Loya to answer, Garp continued: "In Zefa's words, you are the most talented guy among these recruits, but you don't look like much!"

After he finished speaking, he used his little finger to pick his nose and flicked out a booger.

Loya looked at Garp with a calm demeanor, showing no signs of being affected. Although he didn't know why Garp wanted to belittle him, he considered this person's unassuming personality and remained calm.

Among the D family, Garp's line was definitely an alternative! You didn't need to be surprised by anything weird he did.

But it would be rude not to answer. Loya thought for a moment and replied, "Because I'm still a recruit. Oh, a bracket smile~"

"What do you mean by 'smiling in brackets'..." Garp choked. His hands shook as his fingernails hurt his nostrils, and tears were about to flow out. After a pause, he decided not to bother with Loya's words and directly and decisively explained his purpose.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I ask you, boy, do you want to be this old man's disciple?"
