Third Person POV

Skypiea.

The training continued among the members on Skype, and as Luffy monitored all the trainings, he read reports here and there with Vivi and Monet appearing in his cabin delivering papers from the kingdoms to him and making calls all the time.

The green-haired woman finally seemed to accept her fate while continuing to obey everything Luffy asked and did everything with excellence.

The genetic enhancement projects continued with the scientists, while Frank began working on Dr. Vegapunk's projects that he managed to obtain. Luffy wished Enel were here to help him, but the man was already busy on the Moon with a project he had secretly given him when they said goodbye and asked him to try creating by placing some things in his boat. This project was the one Luffy had read a while ago in Water Seven, before it was burned, but there were still important things he noted with his photographic memory.

He continued writing more about his projects while clearing up doubts from the kings and those responsible for the current countries and kingdoms of his territory, wanting to understand their orders regarding the Future Order 66. He continued with this for a while and it took about a week until he finally sighed, seeing that he had organized everything and received the information that his grandfather would be in Goa and would stay there for a month because it was normal after everything that happened. Luffy did a little stretch and stood up saying he wanted to organize a few more things on the island before departing.

"'Can I see you, my father?' Luffy suddenly heard Vivi asking and nodded.

"'Just be careful when traveling there. Use this and just press the button at the end if there's any danger... understand?' Luffy said, handing a special alert den den mushi to Vivi, while the girl nodded.

Luffy continued getting everything organized while the new members of the fleet and crew trained hard and the others struggled to develop their Haki. It was after a few days that he gathered everyone at a banquet to make the announcement.

"I will be departing along with the others tomorrow and will be away for a few weeks." Luffy said, Vivi wasn't the only one who would leave with Luffy, after all Chopper would go to Drum Kingdom. Nami and Nojiko to Cocoyasi Kingdom, Reiju to Baratie, and Usopp to Syrup Kingdom.

"When the captain returns, we'll show him that we are stronger, right, Brogy?" A giant spoke to his friend.

"Yes, Dorry, we will be stronger!" Another giant said with a confident tone.

Luffy nodded and after that, they continued the banquet and the next day everyone who was leaving, departed while Vivi and Chopper headed for the start of the Grand Line, most passed over the Calm Belt. Entering the East Blue, they split up going to each of their kingdoms while Luffy was the last still in the air, heading for the island at the tip of the East Blue, Boa Kingdom, while viewing from the air, the huge city at one end and the small Foosha Village at another corner of the island.

Luffy looked at the island while remembering the mountains and forests where he, Ace, Sabo, and Lucy played when they were children. But his destination was toward the small port village while a man in a bar suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The bar was full of security while the queen of the Gol Kingdom was working there again, but this time no one could complain as she served the marine hero, Garp, spending some time here.

"Garp you damn! You almost let Ace die!" Dadan immediately complained accusing him angrily.

"Calm down, isn't Ace alive?" Woop Slap said beside.

"Here... this will improve your mood!" Makino said as she approached placing a glass in front of Garp, who drank in silence as if he were waiting for something.

"Aren't you going to answer me?!" Dadan exclaimed to Garp, but he kept ignoring her.

"Calm down, Dadan..." A new voice emerged as the doors of the bar opened while a man with a straw hat entered at that moment.

"LUFFY?!" Dadan, Slap, and Makino exclaimed at the same time with Luffy there.

"..." Garp remained silent without turning around, already noticing his grandson approaching from many kilometers away.

Makino seemed so excited that she left the counter side and ran to hug him. "It's so good to see you," she commented, flashing him a wide smile as he nodded.

"It's good to see you too, Makino. I see you've become a powerful queen and are taking great care of the Kingdom," he said, and she responded with an excited smile.

"Yokatta!!" Dadan was another who jumped to hug Luffy, crying like a little girl. "I thought you were going to die, you idiot! Yokatta!!" She continued while Slap approached, and all the other guards and ministers there did not approach that terrible pirate who ruled the kingdom and killed its last king.

"You brought more shame to the village, I mean, to the Goa Kingdom!" Slap commented with dissatisfaction, but he cracked a small smile afterward.

Luffy left the three aside and looked at the counter with Garp still keeping his drink in front of him. "So you're here then, brat," Garp commented, and Luffy looked at him with a more serious gaze.

"Grandpa... why don't we go camping on the mountain today like old times," Luffy suggested.

Garp remained silent for a while longer before getting up and walking past Luffy. "Let's go," he murmured, and Luffy followed him, leaving Makino and the rest of the high council members behind.

"Before I leave, I will return!" Luffy said as he continued following his grandfather.

They headed to the mountain and entered the forest. "You prepare the fire, I'll go hunt something," Garp said indifferently, and Luffy just nodded.

He knew his grandfather was not in a good mood and ended up collecting wood despite it being a task unfit for a man of his status. Yet he did it and felt pleasure in it, as if it reminded him of old times.

His grandfather returned a while later with a giant dead pig. While he took the initiative to cut it, Luffy prepared a large fire pulling out some spices from the system. Everything was done in silence as Luffy prepared the food, placing these items and finally they sat down to eat as the day disappeared and everything became dark in the middle of the Kingdom's forest.

"You know, Luffy..." Garp finally broke the silence, making Luffy look at him curiously. "I always wondered why you and Ace never chose the path of the Navy, and now Lucy ended up following you guys too. But maybe it's the best path suited for you, even though I think justice is always the best path," Garp commented with a sad tone, and Luffy felt sorry for his grandfather.

"You know very well that there are things we couldn't do in the Navy, grandpa. I don't consider myself a psychopath, but despite people seeing me that way, I still own my path. The Navy limits you to obeying any order from those bastards of Mary Geoise..." Luffy commented sincerely.

"The navy can resort to the philosophy of justice when the world government isn't threatened, but when they are, they will commit atrocities. You know very well what happened to one of my crew members, Robin, and how her island was tragically destroyed. And even one of the current admirals, Kuzan, who participated in that attack, had to obey orders and committed atrocity, even if his view of justice is solid.

Luffy sighed before speaking more seriously to his very serious grandfather listening, "As long as the Navy is affiliated with the world government, your path of justice won't always be correct," he said while Garp continued in silence.

"You know why that Gorosei wanted to kill Lucy when he announced? Among so many people he could have, she was chosen... He chose Bepo because he has the power to destroy Mary Joyce, or at least cause them a great headache. They chose Robin because she possesses the knowledge of the lost century. They chose to kill me because of everything I represent and all the information I have from this world," Luffy continued, looking into the fire. "They chose Lucy in the end and you know why?" He asked looking at his grandfather.

Garp had always had this doubt since the announcement of Saturn. "I don't know," he admitted.

Luffy was surprised that he didn't know about the Nika fruit. "It's because of her fruit," Luffy spoke as Garp looked on with a raised eyebrow. He believed that Lucy had a common fruit, although he still believed that Lucy would be the strongest sailor and that she would do great things.

"The government hides that fruit because it carries the name of a god... the real name of the fruit is Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical type," he said, leaving Garp surprised by this, looking puzzled, before continuing.

"Its model is... Nika, the god of the sun." Luffy declared.

"What?" Garp exclaimed, making a funny face at this moment. "You must be joking," he didn't believe Luffy.

"There's hardly any record of Nika, but he could change the world around him, turning everything into rubber and even shaping reality. It's the most absurd power in this world," Luffy believed that this power was even ahead of the power of the Gura Gura no Mi.

"Are you sure about this, brat?" Garp couldn't help but ask, surprised.

"I'm not lying to you. Lucy would meet her end in the navy as soon as she showed this awakening of the fruit. The world government fears her power because in the lost century, the government's greatest enemy was called Joyboy... he had the same power as Lucy... with her awakened fruit... and if she demonstrated it, they would do anything and even kill him to kill Lucy." Luffy spoke.

Garp looked on for a while and fell silent, thinking about what his grandson had said. "What are you planning to achieve with this, Luffy? What are your real goals for the seas?" He asked, curious.

Luffy cracked a small smile. "I'm not sure, but this world is in danger. I don't know the details, but something big is going to happen and it has to do with Roger's prophecy. That's why he threw the world into chaos by creating this era, so the right person could find his Treasure. I want to create a world where there is no central government, a world where countries have their own sovereignty, but still, it would be the one who conquers all the seas. I've always had my will to face a great adventure, face powerful enemies, have my own family and raise my children, and be strong enough to do all this..." Luffy spoke. He had always had these ambitions, despite his memories having come just over 6 months ago, he had always thought about this since he became aware of this world and was just following his ambitions normally.

"I see," Garp murmured. After that, they remained silent, sleeping there on the ground, leaning against the wall. Luffy, in the end, put out the fire and saw his grandfather dozing off. He pulled a blanket from the system and covered him carefully, before lying down near another tree.

Garp and Luffy were sleeping like in the old days while Garp, too, couldn't help but crack a small smile while he also slept.
