Chapter 290

"You're not the first to say that," Sima Di said indifferently.

He felt no pride at all from the compliment.

At that moment,

Kapi also finished his own bucket of popcorn, glanced at the bucket beside him belonging to Kizaru, and without hesitation snatched it away.

"Hey! Kapi! That's mine!"

"You two were talking business—don't waste it."

"Who said I wouldn't eat it?"

"Just ask the kid to get you another bucket."

"You!"

Kizaru helplessly looked at Sima Di—another bucket?

He'd never tried this stuff before—it was kind of interesting.

Sima Di hadn't expected these two old men, over 150 years combined, would argue over a bucket of popcorn.

【Popcorn!】

The popcorn buckets stacked into a pyramid in front of him—plenty to fill your belly!

Kizaru picked up a bucket of popcorn and sighed: "This Devil Fruit ability really is..."

"Hey!" Sima Di frowned: "I'm warning you—don't say my ability is convenient!"

He hated hearing that evaluation most of all!

It made him feel like a tool.

Kizaru still gave him face, choosing to smile instead.

Clearly, he'd just been smiling like that.

As for Kapi...

"Kid, this ability really is convenient!" Kapi picked his nose: "If you don't like it, why not use that Devil Fruit separation serum to extract it and give it to old man? Then I could have endless rice crackers and donuts!"

Kizaru: "..."

Sima Di: "..."

Such an OP ability, and you only think of using it to manifest rice crackers and donuts?

"Ignore him—the Monkey family is famously unreliable," Kizaru said to Sima Di, turning his head.

Sima Di nodded in agreement.

Kapi, Dragon, and Luffy—the grandfather, father, and son—none of them were easy to deal with.

Speaking of which...

It was rare to see all three of them appear in the same place, especially Kapi, the grandfather, watching with delight as his son and grandson fought below.

By the way!

Sima Di suddenly remembered the "blush" on Sakazuki's face from the Lion CP0's strike—it still hadn't faded.

So...

"Kapi, what's the deal with Dragon's facial markings? A birthmark?" Sima Di asked curiously.

"Birthmark? Dragon didn't have those when he was young," Kizaru also looked at Kapi in confusion.

"Hahaha—" Kapi laughed loudly: "That brat tried dragging me into joining the Revolutionary Army, so I dragged him by his slipper all the way, using my Love Will and Armament Haki—but I never expected the mark still hasn't faded after all these years!"

"Oh? There's that?" Kizaru widened his eyes.

"So it really is a slipper imprint? Hahaha—" Sima Di burst out laughing.

This drew a look of quiet resentment from Dragon, who was still battling Sakazuki at the other end.

Don't drag your own son like this!

You beat him, fine—but why spill the beans?

Suddenly!

"Huh?" Kizaru frowned: "Dragon, you're just like Kapi—you always act first and report later!"

"Huh?" Kizaru frowned: "Dragon, you're just like Kapi—you always act first and report later!"

Sima Di glanced at the sea,

A lavish ship was pulling away from the De Soro, the very cruise ship Dragon had arranged to "steal the base," now carrying Beli and gold to escape.

"Tsk! Dragon, you didn't even arrange a submarine? You got caught!" Sima Di crossed his arms, ready to watch the show.

How would Kizaru choose?

As the newly appointed Admiral of the New Navy, Kizaru stood up, stepped on Moon Step, and charged toward the fleeing cruise ship.

"Leave me half of the military funds!"

Why has the Navy always been strangled by the World Government?

Isn't it just about funding?

Kizaru had endured enough of being throttled by budget constraints—he wouldn't bow for money this time!

Dragon immediately abandoned Sakazuki, transformed into wind, and raced after Kizaru to intercept him.

"Boom——"

A fierce punch wind blocked his path—Kapi stood before Dragon, holding a bucket of popcorn.

"Brat, you're trying to keep all the military funds for yourself? Your heart's truly black!" Kapi scolded as if it were perfectly natural.

Dragon was also quite helpless.

"Old man... I am your son!"

"Get lost!" Garp said while picking his nose: "You unfilial son, just let me see how much you've improved!"

Saying this,

he actually took off the slippers from his feet, wrapped them in Armament Haki, and then used Soru to charge at Dragon.

Dragon was so scared his face turned green!

He was already the leader of the Revolutionary Army,

didn't this unreliable father know to save him some face?

Rage surged in Dragon's heart!

Relying on his advantage of controlling the wind, he directly...

"Whoosh—"

fled by riding the wind.

"Hahaha—You little brat, still afraid of Old Man's loving greetings!" Garp laughed loudly while holding the black sandal sole.

Causing Dragon's figure to stagger, almost falling straight from the sky.

Anyway, the most important Haki Cultivation Method had already been obtained this time; as for funds...

the huge bag Garp gave to the Tyrant Bear last time had only been consumed by one-tenth until now.

—The gold Sima Di gave was so abundant it was no less than what Tezoro had stored over many years.

So his demand for funds was not as urgent as that of the New Navy.

Dragon rode the wind to Sima Di's side, staring nervously at the pursuing Garp, his toes pointing outward with the thought of escaping.

"Enough, Garp, put your sandal sole away," Sima Di said with a smile: "We need to discuss the follow-up cooperation matters first; you can beat your son later."

"It's just that Sengoku hasn't returned yet, so I'll beat him up first to vent my anger!" Garp shouted angrily: "If it weren't for this kid running all over the world and not properly teaching Luffy, how could he have been taken advantage of by that bastard Shanks and become a pirate?!"

Hearing this, Luffy, who was fighting, shouted loudly from afar, stretching his throat.

"It's not seduction! I am the man who will become the King of the Pirates!!!"

And as a price,

Luffy was smashed into the deck by a punch of "Golden Inferno" from the Golden Giant.

Garp: "Hm?"

Dragon: "Hm?"

There really is someone bold enough to beat our son/grandson in front of us?

"Whoosh—"
