Chapter 23: Shocking! Was Luffy a crybaby and a follower when he was a child?

The two sides exchanged a wave of information, but found out.

This strange screen, only their pirate group can see it.

"Could it be because we have a relationship with the people in these pictures?"

Roger frowned and pondered.

From the screen, he knew that he must have reached the final island and became the Pirate King.

But he also died, making Ace the target of public criticism.

He needs to think of a way to protect Ace in advance.

Even though Rouge is not pregnant yet...

...

[Luffy, after listening to Garp's lecture, still didn't quite understand.

"Although I don't quite understand, it's good that he's safe."

He took off his straw hat, "I really miss it."]

[Shanks]: Luffy, we're very safe haha.

[Yassop]: Little Luffy, we're all fine, I didn't expect my son to sail with you, what a fate, Usopp, I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you to grow up, but I believe you will definitely grow into a man.

Shanks looked helplessly at the drunk Yassop.

This guy, staring at his son's name for a long time and not daring to speak, his courage grew a lot when he got drunk.

[Usopp]: Dad, I don't blame you, I know the feeling of being called by the pirate flag, I will definitely become a brave sea warrior!

[Yassop]: Worthy of being my son, boss, cheers for my son, cheers for Luffy's upcoming arrival at New!

[Ben Beckman]: Jesus...drunk.

[Monkey D. Luffy]: Jesus really hasn't changed at all, he talks about his son as soon as he drinks, Usopp let's toast too! For your reunion with your dad.

[Usopp]: Wuuwuuwuu I also want to toast, but it's starting here again, ahhhhhh help.

[Tony Tony Chopper]: Usopp are you okay?!

[Monkey D. Luffy]: Usopp are you okay?

[Yassop]: Usopp are you okay, who bullied you, dad will flatten him for you.

[Eustass Kid]: ...Are all the people on the Straw Hat's ship perverts? The captain is fine, but that sniper king is actually the son of a Red Hair Pirates' crew?

[Basil Hawkins]: It's indeed a family tradition.

[Apoo]: It seems that Straw Hat Luffy has a deep relationship with the Red Hair Pirates, it's definitely not just a simple relationship of lifesaver.

[The screen flashes through memories.

In a tavern.

The crew of the Red Hair Pirates are joyfully toasting and drinking, playing music, and cheering.

In front of the counter, little Luffy is also sitting there.

His eyes are shining brightly at Shanks, "Take me with you the next time you set sail."

Shanks laughed very freely, "Can someone like you become a pirate?"

"Why not?"

Ben Beckman on the side was smoking, hearing this, he looked at Luffy with a smile, his eyes unconsciously filled with a bit of indulgence.

Yassop, who was drinking, also turned his head, speaking with a drunken tone, "Luffy, even if you can swim very well, you can't become a pirate."

"I'm also very good at fighting, my fists are as powerful as guns."

"Really?" Shanks' answer was very perfunctory.

Immediately annoyed Luffy, "What kind of tone is that?"

Lucky Roo chewing on a chicken leg turned around, "Simply put, you're too small Luffy."

Yassop agreed, "Because you're the same age as my son."

Luffy pounded the table angrily, "I'm not a kid, I've grown up."

"Don't be angry, come, have a glass of juice." Shanks pushed a glass of juice over.

Luffy immediately stopped being angry, "Ah, Thanks." He picked up the juice and started drinking.

Shanks slammed the table fiercely, "Hora, he's clearly just a kid."

The rest of the pirates also burst into laughter.

Luffy was so angry that his hair stood on end, "Don't laugh!"

"Stinky Shanks."

[Nami]: Hahaha, Luffy was so cute when he was a kid, but speaking of which, can that stupid captain swim?

[Sanji]: Pfft! He's completely different from the current idiot captain, he gets angry as soon as he's teased, hahaha, it's definitely fun, he probably can swim because he hasn't eaten the devil fruit yet.

[Portgas D. Ace]: Hahaha, I miss it so much, Luffy when he was a kid, was completely a follower, and also a spoiled crybaby.

[Tony Tony Chopper]: Really? Was Luffy a crybaby when he was a kid?

[Nami]: Ah! I'm so curious! It's nice to be spoiled, he's still spoiled now, but a crybaby, and a follower, emmmmmm it's a bit hard to imagine.

[Sanji]: ...A crybaby, a follower, huh.

[Roronoa Zoro]: In my memory, Luffy only cried once or twice, right? One time was after dueling with Usopp, and another time was when he said goodbye to Merry.

[Brook]: Yohohoho, so the captain's precious hat was originally Shanks-san's?

[Monkey D. Luffy]: Hehehe, it's the one that Shanks wore in the video... but, Ace, I didn't always act spoiled, and I didn't always cry, it's just because I was young then.

Luffy is ignored by other people, after all, it seems to be a fact.

[Portgas D. Ace]: Hey hey hey~

Revolutionary Army Headquarters. Baltigo.

Sabo looked at Luffy and Ace's comments on the screen with a motherly smile.

His eyes were filled with a warm smile that he hadn't noticed himself.

He thought to himself, they must be very good brothers.

But when he saw Ace's answer.

Another voice rang in his head.

The younger brother with a sobbing cry, unwillingly said, "When I'm as old as you, I won't cry anymore."

The older brother with a good memory is not the same as the gentle Ace on the screen, he is very irritable.

"Stupid, I didn't cry when I'm seven."

That familiar feeling came up again.

"Sabo? What's wrong with you?" Koala looked at Sabo's motherly smile on his face, feeling a bit chilly.

Sabo came back to his senses, wanting to recall again, that fleeting picture, disappeared again.

"Nothing..."

He always felt that Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace were familiar, did he know these two?

Especially the little Luffy on the screen, especially familiar.

He turned his head to look at the leader, and found that the leader was also cherishing the small figure on the screen.

"That, leader, where did Luffy grow up?"

Dragon heard this, came back to his senses from the cute little Luffy on the screen, heard this question, looked deeply at Sabo, as if he realized something.

He answered in a low voice, "Foosha Village on the outskirts of Goa Kingdom."

Sabo's pupils suddenly contracted violently.

He remembered that the leader picked him up in the sea area near the Goa Kingdom, and also said that he had seen him in High Town in the Goa Kingdom.

He hates nobles so much, hates his parents, hates going back to that home, is there a possibility that he will run away from home, and then meet Luffy and Ace who are also in the Goa Kingdom, but live on the outskirts.

His head suddenly throbbed, and it suddenly hurt.

The more he wanted to recall, the more obvious the pain.

The cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.

His breathing became more and more suffocating.

"Sabo? Sabo? What's wrong with you?" Koala looked at him worriedly.

Sabo propped himself up on the table, the sweat on his forehead kept dripping, his breathing was suffocating, and the hand on the table was veined.

As long as he doesn't think about the past and relaxes, the pain will slowly disappear.

But he always felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important.

Dragon looked at him, "If you want to find the answer, go ahead, don't let yourself regret it."

This sentence woke Sabo up.
