  Two days ter, in Galley-La's guest house, Coby was lounging in the garden, sipping lemohat Nami handed him. She stood close, her eyes lingering on him as he drank. Robin sat nearby, her presenmistakably close. The sun bathed them in warmth, but the tensioweewo women simmered hotter.

  Nami’s sudden attention wasn’t just about being friendly. It had been weeks sihey st had time alone, with no priva the small ship and stant battles sihey left Arabasta. She was horny and frustrated, the need for some personal time with Coby gnawing at her. But there was another reason. Ever sihe crew’s return from Enies Lobby, Robin had been noticeably closer to Coby. Grateful to all the crew, especially Luffy and Coby, Robin had made of her feelings. Adding to the flirting and stolen kisses from before, it was clear she felt a e with him. And that was something Nami couldn’t ignore.

  Robin sat just a little too close for Nami’s fort, her fingers occasionally brushing Coby’s arm in subtle, casual touches. Each time it happened, Nami’s jaw tightened, her jealousy barely hidden. She wasn't about to let Robioo cozy without reminding her of their e.

  Coby, ign the tension brewiweewo women, leaned ba his chair, stretg zily as he took another sip of lemohe rest of the crew, except Luffy who was still sleep-eating and Usopp, who left the crew, was seated around the garden, listening as Franky stood in the ter, expining why he had stolen their money and what he had doh it. His voice was loud and animated as he gestured wildly, reting how he used the cash to fund the stru of his dream ship.

  Franky stood tall, his chest puffed out as he asked the group, “Do you know Treasure Tree Adam?”

  The crew’s eyes drifted to Coby, who was lounging in the chair, pletely at ease with Nami pressed against his arm. Her chest brushed against him slightly as she leaned closer, aook another zy sip of lemonade before responding.

  “Yeah, but expin anyway,” Coby drawled, too fortable in the moment to care much. The cold lemonade felt perfect, and Nami’s touch was doing wonders for his mood.

  Franky didn’t miss a beat, diving right into his expnation. “Treasure Tree Adam is the stro wood in the world, but also rare, thus the price. Once, long, long ago, an endless war raged on an isnd. People died, and the isnd was destroyed by a rain of ons, left in ruins. However, the people kept ing back to rebuild the nation near a giant tree, the only ohat remained intact. That tree was Adam. The only known ships that use this type of wood are the Oro Ja, which carried the legendary Roger Pirates. The wood is capable of withstanding onballs and gunfire quite easily, showing little wear over time. However,” Franky paused, raising a finger, “even ships built out of this wood need a good shipwright to look after them, as it’s not pletely invincible.”

  The crew listened closely, their eyes fixed on Franky as he tinued.

  “This wood doesn’t rot like normal timber, and it’s almost impossible to break. But the real treasure isn’t just the wood—it’s the craftsmanship. That’s where I e in!” Franky grinned, puffing his chest out. “I used all the money I took from you to buy a huge k of Treasure Tree Adam. And with it, I will build you guys a new ship! My masterpiece!”

  The crew exged gnces, surprise evident on their faces. Even Nami, who had been quietly seething over the stolen money, eased up a bit, her brows raising in i. She kept leaning against Coby, her body close to his, but her attention had shifted to Franky.

  Coby bore his gaze into Franky, setting down the y gss of lemonade oable beside him. “That won’t make up for what you did, but we’ll take it,” he said casually. “No, I’ll finance your further expenses and make this new ship eveer. We’ve got Dials we took from Skypiea—you use them to upgrade your blueprints. What do you say?”

  Franky’s jaw dropped, tears welling up in his eyes as he tried to keep it together. “My dream... my dream is to make a ‘Dream Ship.’ If you guys—a crew I favor—were to use it, I would feel honored!” His voice cracked a little, but his enthusiasm was unmistakable.

  Coby just grinned, lounging ba his chair. "The's make it happen."

  The crew, still gathered around in the gardeed in their usual enthusiastic blend of surprise aement. A small smirk tugging at Nami's lips. “If it meaing a new ship, I’ll five you… maybe,” she teased, looking over at Franky with a pyful glint in her eyes.

  Just then, the wall of the guest house exploded, ks of debris flying everywhere. A massive figure strolled through the dust and rubble as if nothing had happened.

  “ht. I fot about this,” Coby said with a chuckle, eyeing the newer.

  The man t over them was her than Vice Admiral Garp, and his entrance was anything but subtle. "Garp-san, we were in the garden. Why break the wall? You o work on your cool entraactics," Coby teased, raising an eyebrow.

  Garp looked at Coby, unimpressed, and snorted. "Who are you to teach me how to do things, brat?" he said, his tone gruff but not angry. Without waiting for a response, Garp disappeared in a blur of speed.

  In the instant, he appeared right o the still-sleeping Luffy and delivered a bone-crushing punch to his head. “Why are you still sleeping, Luffy?!”

  Luffy jolted awake with a loud yell, rolling around on the ground. “Damn! It hurts! It hurts!” He rubbed his head, eyes wide in shod pain.

  The crew stood frozen in disbelief. Sanji was the first to recover, his cigarette nearly falling from his lips. "What the hell?! It was just a punch! How did that hurt Luffy?!"

  Coby rolled his eyes, sighing dramatically. "Where were you when I expined Haki to you guys?"

  [Skill S initiated on 'Armament Haki'.

It is a crucial skill for surviving in high-level bat. Estimated cost for acquisition: 200,000 SP. Please firm if you wish to proceed with the Skill S and acquisition.]

  But Garp wasn’t paying attention. He casually removed his iiask and stood over Luffy, grinning down at him. "There’s no esg my Fist of Love," Garp decred proudly. He leaned in closer, his expression turning more serious. “I heard you’ve been doing some reckless things, Luffy.”

  Luffy, still rubbing his head, looked up, his eyes widening even more. "G-G-Grandpa?!"

  The entire crew’s jaws dropped in unison.

  "Grandpa?!" they all excimed, pletely taken abaami’s eyes darted between Luffy and Garp, trying to process what she had just heard.

  Nami stared, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Wait, Coby, did you just say Garp? As in Marine Hero, Vice-Admiral Garp? He’s Luffy’s grandfather?"

  Coby chuckled. "Yeah, that’s him."

  Luffy, still clutg his head from Garp's punch, turo Coby with a fused look. "You know my grandpa?"

  Coby rolled his eyes. "Who doesn’t know yrandfather, Luffy? He’s the most famous Marine in the world."

  Sanji, standing off to the side, raised an eyebrow. "Is he really yrandfather, Luffy?"

  Luffy, still rubbing his ag head, nodded. "Yeah, but don’t pick a fight with him. He’ll kill you! He almost killed me plenty of times!"

  Garp, t over Luffy with his arms crossed, grunted. "Don’t exaggerate! I pushed you over bottomless cliffs, threw you into jungles full of beasts at night, tied you to balloons a you into the sky… All of it was to make you strong!"

  The crew grimaced at Garp’s casual reting of his ‘training.’ Sanji lit a cigarette, shaking his head. "I think I just found out why Luffy’s so damn tough."

  Garp tinued, ign the crew’s reas. "In the end, I left you with a friend of mine, and you trained with Ace. But the moment I took my eyes off you, this is what happened! I trained you to be a strong Marine, Luffy!"

  Luffy, standing up straight now, shouted back, "I’ve always said I wanna be a pirate!"

  Garp’s face darkened, and he grabbed Luffy by the colr, lifting him off the ground. "Nonsense! You’re only saying that because you fell uhe bad influence of that red-haired Shanks!"

  Luffy’s eyes widened, aruggled to free himself from Garp’s grip. "Shanks saved my life! Don’t talk bad about him!"

  Garp’s grip tightened, his faches from Luffy’s. "Are y to tell yrandpa what to do?"

  Luffy flinched, his defiance evaporating in an instant. "Gyah! I’m sorry!"

  The crew stood in stunned silence, watg as Luffy—usually so headstrong—cowered under Garp’s imposing presence.

  "He’s not even trying to fight back," Nami muttered, eyes wide with shock.

  Chopper ran around in a panic, his little arms filing. "The Marines have captured Luffy! What do we do?!"

  Coby sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Rex, Charp’s not here to arrest Luffy."

  Chopper stopped mid-run, blinking up at Coby with wide eyes. "He’s not?"

  Then both Garp and Luffy fell asleep mid-argument, their heads drooping as they snored loudly. The crew blinked in fusion, staring at the two slumped figures.

  “Are they seriht now?” Nami muttered, her brow twitg in irritation.

  “Apparently,” Zrunted, crossing his arms.

  Before anyone could react further, Garp suddenly jolted awake, blinking rapidly as if nothing had happened. “Crap! I fell asleep!” he grumbled, rubbing his eyes. But when he saw Luffy still sn, Garp’s face twisted in annoyance. He stood up and stomped over to his grandson.

  “Wake up, Luffy! How you sleep while I’m scolding you?” Garp yelled, his fist already desding on Luffy’s head.

  WHAM!

  Luffy’s eyes shot open as Garp started whaling on him. “O! Stop it, Grandpa! That hurts!” Luffy yelped, filing around, trying to block Garp’s heavy punches.

  The crew wi the brutal sight, but none of them dared intervene.

  “And ahing!” Garp shouted iween punches. “How dare you speak ill of yrandpa?!” He gave Luffy one final sma the head before finally stopping.

  Garp spent the several minutes expining to Luffy about the Yonkou and the dahat awaited them in the New World. He detailed the immense power of the Four Emperors, ruling over vast territories and anding armies of pirates, warning that Luffy and his crew were heading into treacherous waters far beyond anything they had faced so far. He said Luffy had no idea who Shank was, and didn't know what Yonkou represented. Luffy didn't care. He said, "So long as Shanks is okay, the rest is useless."

  Garp shook his head with a loud snort. “Oh, by the way, I heard you met with your dad at Logue Town, Luffy.”

  Luffy tilted his head, blinking in fusion. “Dad? I have a dad?”

  Garp picked his nose casually, as if dropping world-ging news wasn’t a big deal. “Eh? He didn’t introduce himself? Your dad’s name is Monkey D. Dragon, the Revolutionary.”

  The crew’s rea was instant and explosive. Nami, Sanji, Franky, and Chopper all froze, their jaws hitting the ground in disbelief. Zoro raised an eyebrow, while even Robin's eyes widened slightly in surprise. The Marines around the garden who had been eavesdropping colpsed in shock, several of them hitting the ground face-first, overwhelmed by the sheer absurdity of the revetion.

  Luffy scratched his head, clearly not uanding the gravity of what Garp had just said. “Huh? Monkey D. Dragon? I don’t think I’ve met him.”

  Seeing Luffy’s fusion and the stunned looks around him, he turo Coby and Robin.

  Coby opened his mouth but theured toward Robin. "Robin, you take this one."

  Robin crossed her legs, leaning back casually as she expined, “Pirates, do not directly fight against Wover. They are criminals that break the ws set by the Gover. Monkey D. Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. They’re actively trying to overthrow the Wover. He’s the most wanted man in the world, Luffy.”

  The weight of Robin’s statement hung in the air for a moment as the crew processed what she had said. Luffy blinked, seemingly uhen broke into his signature grin. "My dad's the most wanted man in the world, huh? That’s cool!"

  Garp, still standing nearby, scratched his head. “Oh, wait. That was supposed to be a secret. All of you, fet about it,” he said nontly, waving his hand as if he hadn’t just dropped a bombshell.

  The entire crowd was dumbfounded, staring at him in disbelief. Nami opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it, pletely stunned. Garp, oher hand, just ughed heartily, clearly uned.

  Ohe wall atched up, Garp and Luffy fought a little larp saying Luffy shouldn't be so casual after not seeing each other for so long, while Luffy run screaming. In the end, Garp beat him to submission over and ain. The crew watched with amusement and shock as Garp manhandled Luffy, knog him around like it was nothing.

  The two of them tinued bickering bad forth for a little while longer until Garp finally annouhat he was leaving. The Marines saluted him as he walked off, grumbling to themselves about the bizarre family reunion they had just witnessed.
